[edit] Adding a project

Please add projects in alphabetical order under the most applicable heading using this template with parameters as follows:

{{/WikiProject
|project= 
|shortname= 
|active= 
|assessment=
|peer-review= 
|collaboration= 
|portal= 
|notes=
|task-force=
|listed-in=
}}
  • project – a raw link to the main project page.
  • shortname – the short name of the project.
  • active – "yes" if the project is currently active.
  • assessment – a raw link to the project's assessment process, if one exists.
  • peer-review – a raw link to the project's internal peer review process, if one exists.
  • collaboration – a raw link to the project's collaboration, if one exists.
  • portal – the name of the most relevant portal; additional portals can be listed under the notes field.
  • notes – any additional points of interest, such as the existence of task forces or additional portals.
  • task-force – "yes" if the project is a task force of a larger project; if this is set, only the project, shortname, portal, and notes fields are shown.
  • listed-in – used for double-listing projects in two sections. One listing is the primary link, and uses the fields above; any others are secondary links, and should set this parameter to a raw link to the section where the primary listing is located (example below).

A sample:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/WikiProject
|project= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips
|shortname= Tulips
|active= yes
|assessment= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips/Assessment
|peer-review= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips/Peer review
|collaboration= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips/Collaboration
|portal= Tulips
|notes=
}}
Project Assessment Peer review Collaboration Portal Notes
Tulips yes yes yes Tulips

[edit] Adding a task force

Task forces should always be added directly after the main project:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/WikiProject
|project= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips/Cultivation task force
|shortname= Cultivation task force
|portal= Tulip Cultivation
|notes=
|task-force= yes
}}
Project Assessment Peer review Collaboration Portal Notes
Tulips yes yes yes Tulips
Cultivation task force Tulip Cultivation

[edit] Secondary listings

A secondary listing need only give a few parameters:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/WikiProject
|project= Wikipedia:WikiProject Tulips
|shortname= Tulips
|listed-in= Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Science#Biology
}}
Project Assessment Peer review Collaboration Portal Notes
Tulips (main listing here)

[edit] When is a project inactive?

Although opinions differ, a WikiProject is likely to be inactive if any of the following conditions are met:

  • A completely empty list of participants.
  • No changes to the WikiProject's pages (including any associated talk pages) for the last several months (3 months being the absolute minimum for a project to be totally inactive). Bot link corrections and other similar activity are not to be included as activity.
