User:CmdrDan/WikiProjects--why does signup process vary
Sheeze...
WikiProjects could be better explained and the sign-up process could be simplified and unified.
I've come across several variations in the projects @ which I'm a member:
 | This user participates in WikiProject Journalism. |
 | This user participates in WikiProject Television. |
 | This user is a participant in WikiProject Radio. |
 | This user participates in WikiProject Visual arts. |
 | This user is a member of the Business WikiProject. |
 | This user participates in WikiProject Film. |
 | This user is a participant in The Infobox Watch. |
 | This user participates in WikiProject Schools. |
 | This user proudly participates in WikiProject Lists. |
 | This user lives in, or hails from, New York City. |
 | This user simplifies Wikipedia referencing with ProveIt. |
WikiProject_Business
[edit]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Business#Participants
Here you add your name to an alphabetized list of users and add a User Template. Machines are much better @ alphabetizing than humans
WikiProject_Television
[edit]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Television#Participants
A simple sign-up procedure, though the wording could be simplified and instead of having the simplest form @ the end list it @ the beginning--I'm transcluding the following from the source (though it's a sandbox).
User WP TV
|
A list of participants can be found at Category:WikiProject Television participants.
Technically speaking, anyone who edits / contributes to TV related articles is a participant, and there are no requirements other than that. If one wishes they can further identify themselves with the project by listing their name as a participant. This helps spread the word about the project and can help other editors see what types of articles that user is interested in editing.
To add yourself to the project listing add the following to your user page:
[[Category:WikiProject Television participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]
Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add {{User WP TV}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.
