Athletics covers a broad selection of disciplines so there are a wide range of topics that editors may choose, ranging from: biography writing for athletes, event coverage for competitions, technical knowledge of sports science, statistical coverage, historical topics, record lists, and much more...

Article types (plus example): The primary subject (currently at Track and field athletics) • Events (100 metres) • Competitions (Boston Marathon) and competition sub-set articles (Athletics at the Summer Olympics) • Organisations (IAAF) • Athletes (Usain Bolt) • Organisers (Lamine Diack) • Awards (IAAF World Athlete of the Year) • Results articles (2007 World Championships in Athletics - Women's pole vault) • Record lists and progressions (List of world records in athletics, Mile run world record progression) • ...and pretty much anything else similar to these topics.

Add articles to the project by using the {{WPAthletics}} template on the talk page.
