Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Contract bridge. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.
Contents |
[edit] Scope
WikiProject Contract bridge aims to coordinate efforts to write all the Wikipedia articles about bridge in a coherent fashion. This includes the coherence of the following aspects:
- Naming and notation conventions
- Terminology
- Categorization
In the long term, our goal is to write a free and up-to-date equivalent of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge. In the short term, we should create at least one featured article and fill in the articles related with conventions, systems, terminology, and players.
[edit] Parentage
Father of this WikiProject is WikiProject Sports.

[edit] Subpages
[edit] Goals
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Bridge in general.
- To achieve a complete and up-to-date coverage of bridge conventions and bridge systems
- To create articles on every notable bridge player.
- To improve existing bridge articles and get bridge articles to featured standard.
[edit] Projects
- Creating comprehensive tables of suit combinations. The table suit combinations - T missing is pretty much complete, but almost trivial compared to the tables to be created that will describe the treatment, recommended by some authorities, of suit combinations when higher and/or more honours are missing.
[edit] Tasks
Wikiproject tasks not related directly to the development of bridge articles:
- Write consistent Manual of Style and Naming conventions
- Discuss and resolve the issues of merging or splitting of related articles, which created a dispute in the past. (Please share your thoughts on the Talk page)
- Find a satisfactory solution for suit symbols and suit colors (Please refer to the Talk page)
Here's a list of red links related with bridge. Please move the entry upon creation to the section "#New Wikipedia articles related to Contract bridge ", and add new ones in alphabetical order:

[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.
[edit] Templates
All bridge templates are listed in Category:Bridge templates. The most important of those are:
- {{Cs}},{{Ds}}, {{Hs}} and {{Ss}} (for suits)
- {{BridgeHand}}
- {{BridgeHandInline}}
- {{Bridgenote}}
[edit] Stub templates
Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted.
Currently, there's only one stub related with bridge: {{bridge-game-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Bridge (game) stubs.
[edit] Categories
[edit] Current
- Category:Bridge should hold all items that cannot be logically placed in one of subcategories
- Category:Bridge bidding contains general terms about bidding, including "natural" conventions (e.g. takeout double)
- Category:Bridge competitions contains bridge competitions
- Category:Bridge systems contains bidding systems
- Category:Bridge techniques contains descriptions of basic and advanced techniques
- Category:Bridge squeezes contains descriptions of squeezes
- Category:Suit combinations contains descriptions of the correct treatment of Suit combinations
- Category:Bridge players is devoted to bridge players. If there are more than 3-4 players of one country, they should be placed in the appropriate subcategory. Otherwise, they should stay here. Current per-country categories are:
- Category:Bridge (game) stubs contains all stub articles, regardless of other categorization
- Category:Bridge templates contains bridge-related templates
[edit] Significant articles
These form the backbone of the project; they are fairly well developed articles on the basics and significant aspects of bridge
