Welcome to WikiProject Portugal, a WikiProject set up to better organize and present information in all articles related to Portugal. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians to improve all Portugal-related articles in order to make Wikipedia an excellent resource for Portugal-related information for all who visit. 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:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

[edit] Scope and goals

This project is designed to help those interested in improving all of the Portugal-related articles on Wikipedia to find a particular area in which they are interested in working. As "Portugal" is a broad subject, there are many sub-projects and collaborations in which you can participate. We want to:

1. Allow people to more easily locate groups working on Portugal-related WikiProjects
2. Create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Portugal and the Portuguese
3. Expand the number of articles regarding Portugal and Portuguese subjects
4. Further #3 by expanding all Portugal-related article stubs
5. Highlight Portugal's relationship and contributions to the rest of the world
6. Properly source all Portugal-related articles, preferably using the <ref> element
7. Standardize the style and format of articles on Portugal or Portuguese subjects; and
8. Standardize the use of Portuguese-language terms, names, and translations into English across all related articles, bringing them in line with the WP:MOS-PT.

[edit] To-do items

Please "Be Bold!" and help us out. There are plenty of things to do in the lists below, including the creation of brand new articles.

For now, we need to tag every Portuguese article with the WP:PT template. You can find details below.

[edit] Article assessment

Any member of WikiProject Portugal may assess Portugal-related articles by following the guidelines below. If you aren't sure about an article, ask about it on the assessment page.

The {{WikiProject Portugal}} template has a class= and an importance= parameter which provide an article assessment and importance rating for each article:

{{WikiProject Portugal| class=??? | importance=??? }}

The following values may be used for the class parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Portugal-related articles)
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Portugal-related articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Portugal-related articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Portugal-related articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Portugal-related articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Portugal-related articles)
• NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to Category:Non-article Portugal-related pages)

You have to replace the "???" above accordingly. If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed Portugal-related articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Portugal/Assess.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Portugal-related articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Portugal-related articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Portugal-related articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Portugal-related articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

Article importance grading scheme

Label	Criteria	Examples
Top	Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia. High probability that non-Portuguesophiles would look this up. Must have had a large impact outside of Portugal and be known in the majority of the world. For example, Fátima is very popular worldwide and known in most of the world. No member should give this rating to any article without first getting Project approval from the other members.	Fátima
High	Subject contributes a depth of knowledge to the encyclopedia. Must have had a large impact in Portugal, and had some impact outside Portugal.	Insert article here
Mid	Subject fills in more minor details, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic. Important in Portugal, but not necessarily known as well outside of Portugal.	Insert article here
Low	Subject is peripheral knowledge, possibly trivial.	Insert article here

If you're looking for something to do, please consider working on the articles in the categories above in order to bring them toward (or to) Featured Article quality. The chart on the right shows how many of each class of article there are, and there's plenty to work on. We would like to have 10 featured articles from this project by the end of the year. This is a reachable goal, but we'll all have to work hard at it. So, please jump right in and help us out.
