[edit] Structure

[edit] Goals

1. To restore the Blackadder main page to its featured article status.
2. Create a page for each Blackadder episode, including a plot summary, cast list and an infobox.

[edit] To Do List

1. Advertise the project to encourage at least 10 more people to join.
2. Create infobox for project
3. Identify which main characters still need articles
4. Improve and split the Prince Edmund (Blackadder) page.
5. Decide on article structure (sections, etc) so all will be consistent for character articles and episode guides
6. Set out every character article according to the format chosen
7. Add images/ expand articles according to list on talk page

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

• Example article: User:Example
• Lord Flashheart: The Bread
