Template:WikiProject status/Defunct

Welcome to the Expert Request Sorting WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to sorting articles needing expert attention. The overall objective of this project is to make it easier for experts to find articles they can improve. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.

Goals

  • Completed: Split up the {{expert}} template into more specific expert subjects.
  • In progress: Replace instances of {{expert}} with {{expert-subject}}.
  • Inform the appropriate Wikiproject and Portals that the categories have expert requests they might be able to address.

Guidelines

When replacing an {{expert}} tag in an article make sure to follow these important steps.

  1. Find an appropriate WikiProject or Portal to assign the request to. WikiProjects are preferable over Portals.
  2. Replace {{expert}} with {{expert-subject|Subject name}}. Please be careful of capitalization. This template will assign the article to the associated category, which is case-sensitive. Use the same capitalization as the project or portal.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!
