[edit] To-do box for the banner

For the sections listing entries, go to the relevant category to find new entries to add. Keep to a maximum of about 7 per section.

To help populate these fields, all relvant pages should contain the {{WPFC}} banner and be assessed as soon as possible.


Open tasks for WikiProject Former countries      Edit
  • Correct links: Correct any wikilinks that you find anywhere on Wikipedia where the link is to the wrong version of the state. Some examples of bad links:
    1. Referring to the former Free City of Lübeck (an independent entity for 711 years), but the link goes to the modern city of Lübeck.
    2. Referring to Napoleon's France, where the link instead goes to modern France.
  • Create redirects: If the article for the correct state does not yet exist, create a redirect to the nearest existing article (if possible) and place {{WPFC|class=Needed}} on the redirect's talk page. Whether or not a redirect has been created, list the wanted article below under "Needed".

Article improvement
After performing any of these tasks, re-rate the entry via the WPFC banner, and remove the article from the relevant list.

Articles requiring particular elements
After providing the requested element, please remove the relevant tag from the article's WPFC banner and remove the article from this list.
