Our Wikipedia article for
Asian Games is for Asian Summer Games, but the term "Asian Games" is applicable with all the multi-sport events (MSEs) recognized and organized by the
Olympic Council of Asia (OCA)— Asian Martial Arts –, Asian Winter –, Asian Indoor –, Asian Beach –, Asian Youth Games. Unlike
Olympics we don't have any single term to incorporate all these MSEs. Like articles of type "Country at the Asian Games"
usually start with "XYZ first competed at the Asian Games in <any year>" or "XYZ is participating in the Asian Games since <any year>", lead talks about only the Asian Summer Games, not other MSEs of OCA. So, please suggest any possible way to distinguish in between these two terms "Asian Games" and "Asian Summer Games". Like Olympics and Summer Olympics, one possible way is to rename "Asian Games" to "Asian Summer Games".

Country at the Asian Games
, what should we interpret from this? "Asian Summer Games" or an article about the participation of country in the different MSEs organized by the OCA, like Asian Winter Games, Asian Youth Games, Asian Martial Arts Games, etc. Let's take an example: article
Pakistan at the Asian Games is about the participation of
Pakistan at the different MSEs of the OCA, but any common user/reader would misunderstand it with an article about the participation of Pakistan at the Asian Games, which actually is "Asian Summer Games". Secondly, how we supposed to start the article?, currently the first sentence of the article says: "Pakistan [...] participating in the Asian Games since the second edition of the Games in 1954" meaning "Asian Summer Games". Although for clarity I've also written a special section "Membership of Olympic Council of Asia", but I think this is not enough as lead is still dedicated to Asian Summer Games only. And, I don't think this makes any sense: "Pakistan at the Asian Games (term)", any suitable title?. Does IOC use "Summer" term with Olympics?

articles, It should fit for all MSEs of OCA. but "Asian Summer Games" looks strange to me. I never heard this anywhere else, unlike Summer Olympics. For IOC, Summer Games and Winter Games have the same importance but for OCAsia Asian Winter Games is a minor tournament. in Asian Winter Games, the host country can change what it want, that's why the host country always tops the medal table. beside that Asian Games are usually hold in Autumn/Winter ! anyhow I don't think any change is needed.

Who can complete missing sub-articles of disciplines contained in the 2014 Asian Games?
For example: Fencing at the 2014 Asian Games – Men's individual sabre, Swimming at the 2014 Asian Games – Men's 200 metre freestyle.
