Requested articles
[edit]Suggestions for new projects
[edit]- Read Wikiproject Best practices for tips on leading a WikiProject.
- Create the main project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject projectname. (See Starting a new page)
- Create an outline on your project page:
- Add {{subst:WikiProject|projectname}} into your main project page and save. (See m:Help:Template for details.)
- Identify pages within the scope of your project:
- A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
- You will probably want to save a copy of the list on a project status subpage.
- Create a project to-do list to focus and coordinate your collaborative efforts.
- If possible, link to a sample article to give other Wikipedians a feel for the project's goals.
- Advertise!
- Create a project notice template, and insert it at the top of the talk page of related articles.
