Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Expert Request Sorting

Notice with suggestion

1. Created Category:Archaeology articles needing expert attention with notification on that projects talk page.
2. Since first seeing the {{expert-subject}} template, I've been trying to use it, but submit would be a good add and aid to such like me trying to do the right thing, to have this project mentioned in the various expert tags, along with resources along the lines of guidance presented by the wikipedia stub-sorting project.
3. Specifically, IMHO, would be BEST if you had a project page section or sub-page auto linked which alphabetically lists projects you are currently sorting. As a section, suggest a in a two column format. Three column wrapping in the category is awfully hard to sort through quickly by eye with the anomalies in the wrapping. That can of course be a subpage with a single column (considering length of the text, this may be best).

Where is the subject list?

Am I blind? Every time I look at expert-verify it says deprecated in favour of expert-subject, which has a link here, but where is the list of subjects from which to choose? For maximal utility, make this list prominent at expert-verify. MaxEnt 02:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

It's just supposed to be replaced with the name of a WikiProject, listed here: Category:WikiProjects. For example: {{expert-subject}} returns the following. MrZaius^talk 02:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Bulgaria articles needing expert attention

Could someone create Category:Bulgaria articles needing expert attention as a subcategory of Category:Countries articles needing expert attention and of whatever else is appropriate? Thanks. 68.167.254.126 (contribs) 23:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC).

Miscellaneous articles

These are now categorised in Category:Miscellaneous articles needing expert attention until their sub-categories are created. This is automatic, there is no need to change and template parameters: if the specialist cat does not exist it will be catted there. Similarly when and if the new cat is created it will move across (although it may take a little while for MediaWiki to migrate it). Rich Farmbrough, 21:12 15 March 2008 (GMT).

Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention does not show on the page Category:WikiProject Statistics

Category:WikiProject Statistics is shown in the list of categories at the bottom of Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention, but Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention is not on the list of categories at Category:WikiProject Statistics. I realise that Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention is a hidden cat, but shouldn't it show on the list of cats of which it's a member?

Template:Articleissues proposal

I have made a suggestion for this template that, among other things, lets one add two expert topics. Discussion is welcome at Template_talk:Article_issues#expert_tag. Iceblock (talk) 18:16, 25 July 2009 (UTC) Update: forgot the word "two". Iceblock (talk) 18:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Courtesy note on upgrade

I've upgraded {{technical (expert)}} to make use of the same sub-categorization scheme as {{expert-subject}}. You may also be interested in a discussion about Wikimedia software "intersection categories", which could address this issue, and and many similar ones (deletion sorting, FA/GA (re)nominations etc.) in a uniform manner. See discussion here. Pcap ping 09:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

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! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
