Since magic is a specific field, which a lot of people are not be knowledgeable about, magic articles are not likely to receive attention at the other Collaboration of the Week projects.

This project aims to fill gaps about the magic in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of magic-related articles on the project page. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

• Previous winners that have gone on to become featured articles can be found at /Features.
  
• Previous winners can be found at /History
• Removed nominations can be found at /Removed

Each week a Magic Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to the Magic, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.

[edit] Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, July 17, 18:00 (UTC).

[edit] Voting

*[a short description explaining why the article should be the Magic Collaboration of the week] 

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{Magic COTW candidate|Thispage=Article name}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:

If the article is selected as the MCOTW, the template {{Current Magic COTW}} should go at the top of the article page. This expands to:

[edit] Considerations for nominations

• Please only nominate magic articles which don't currently exist or are stubs. (Two paragraphs or less of information or fewer than 1,000 characters). If you have an article that is not related to magic please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to any subject.
• For non-stubs, submitting the article to pages needing attention, cleanup, peer review, or requests for expansion may be more appropriate. (Non-stub articles might be eligeble in the future)
• Giving reasons as to why an article should become the MCOTW may assist others in casting their vote.

[edit] Backup candidates

• Ambitious card
• Card force
• Out of This World
• Snap change
