Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Microsoft Windows. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices. This WikiProject is in the process of being Revived"' and is welcoming any users to help, if you wish to help add your name to the list below.

Scope

Welcome to WikiProject Microsoft Windows! Microsoft Windows is the world's most used and most well-known general-purpose operating system, and has a history spanning over twenty years, works on everything from telephones to servers in data centers, and is the subject of one of the most intense love/hate relationships in the history of technology.

Our mission is pretty simple:

  • Gather together and organise every article Wikipedia has on Microsoft Windows,
  • Continue to work on improving the quality, neutrality, accuracy, and informative value of the prose, and
  • Co-ordinate and brainstorm on what the best ways are to accomplish these things.

Templates

Infoboxes

While there are no Windows-specific Infoboxes on Wikipedia at present, we do use a few existing templates:

  • {{Microsoft}} covers stuff mostly outside the scope of this WikiProject, but any article about a Windows technology in that template needs the template at the bottom of that article.
  • {{Microsoft Windows components}} belongs at the bottom of any main article about Windows components
  • {{Microsoft Windows family}} belongs at the bottom of any main article about Windows operating systems, including forthcoming releases and articles about releases that were discussed by Microsoft and the press, but were never released (e.g. Windows Nashville).
  • {{Windows commands}}

Stubs

NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.

  • {{Windows-stub}} - note that this should only be used for stuff in the operating system itself, not third-party programs
  • {{Windows-game-stub}} - used to identify a stub about a video game released for Microsoft Windows
  • {{Windows-software-stub}} - note that this should only be used for third-party programs
  • {{Microsoft-stub}} - anything else Microsoft-related
  • {{Microsoft-software-stub}} - used to identify a stub about software created or produced by Microsoft (other than Windows)
