Logic Task Force

Template:Logic/Nav
Welcome to the Logic Task Force, a joint subproject of WikiProject Philosophy and WikiProject Mathematics. The task force is a group of pages in the "Wikipedia" article namespace which are devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia; and, simultaneously, a group of editors who use those pages to collaborate on encyclopedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. This group focuses on articles in the field of Logic.
The Logic Task Force is a community of Wikipedians who share an interest in logic and who wish to improve the general quality of Wikipedia's logic articles. It is an effort to coordinate the work of Wikipedians who are knowledgeable about logic.
Getting started
There are a few things you can do right now to get started helping the task force and the project.
- Add {{User WP Logic}} to your user page. It will automatically add you to Category:Logic task force members. You may also choose to place the Logic Navigation Banner on your user page by adding {{Logic/Nav}} or the Logic Task List by adding {{LogicTasksBox}}.
Goals
- To find and identify all substantive forms of logic and expand the Wikipedia presence of those forms.
- To improve the quality, range and consistency of Wikipedia's articles about logic.
- To assess these articles in a manner consistent with the Task Force assessment guidelines.
- To build a community of contributors.
- To serve as a nexus and discussion area for contributors from all fields with knowledge in logic.
- To identify those areas of logic which lack sufficient coverage on Wikipedia.
- To create a general map of the logic articles and subjects on Wikipedia and present the articles in a way that shows their connections.
- To help reach agreement on nomenclature for various logical systems, on notations used in formal logic, and to establish a few conventional definitions that have agreed places where their definitions can be found
- To establish a guide for categories
- To have a project-wide to-do list of most wanted improvements to the logic pages.
Scope
The scope of the Logic Task Force is articles about reasoning, concepts in logic, critical thinking, history of logic, biographical articles about logicians, mathematical logic, foundations of mathematics, and set theory.
The task force is a descendant of WikiProject Philosophy, as logic is a major branch of philosophy. The task force also serves as the group most focused on the Foundations field of WikiProject Mathematics. The task force keeps two worklists:
Standards
In addition to the standards suggested for all Wikipedia articles, special attention to the following while expanding logic articles:
Logic-specific guidelines
Guidlines for Philosophy articles
Guidlines for Mathematics articles
These standards, as with all Wikipedia guidelines, are not obligatory. However, it should be noted that any article that is seeking featured article status should comply with these standards.
Note that new standards should be subjected to consensus building before being added here (a consensus should be reached on the discussion page).
