[edit] Guidelines

[edit] Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of WikiProject Ireland and/or WikiProject Northern Ireland. You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add gaeilge-task-force = yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Gaeilge task force articles.
