Wikipedia:WikiProject Italy

This WikiProject has been formed to foster the improvement of Wikipedia’s coverage of Italy—both the modern nation state and the rich and bewildering variety of historical states and cultures which have inhabited its territory. We intend to work in a spirit of cooperation with the many Wikipedians who have contributed to articles on “Italian” subjects.

This page and its future subpages contain suggestions on formatting and layout of articles, which can be discussed at the project's talk page. To participate simply add your name to the participants section, including (if you so wish) any particular interests or relevant specialisms.

[edit] Scope

This project aims to address the production, improvement and coordination of articles related to Italy—its geography, history, culture, languages, politics, etc., all seen in their broadest senses. It intends to expand Wikipedia's resources on the subject in a fair and accurate manner and to act as a locus where controversies can be aired and hopefully resolved.

Project members are encouraged to add {{User WikiProject Italy}} to their user pages to identify themselves as members of the project.

[edit] Resources

[edit] Infoboxes

[edit] Communes

Articles on Italian communes (or comuni or municipalities) should use the Template Citybox IT infobox. Where this is missing the template Comune will automagically transform the infobox from the corresponding article in the Italian Wikipedia into this format. (Number and date formats and probably links will need to be tidied up manually, however.) The basic procedure is to go to the Italian article, click the ‘modifica’ (i.e. ‘edit this page’) tab and copy the template code section i.e. the bit which begins with the line

{{Template:Comune

and ends with the line

}} <!-- fine della tabella - per la compilazione vedi -> Aiuto:Comune -->

Paste that into the top of the English article. Change the line

{{Template:Comune

to

{{subst:Comune

and save. Edit the article again to fix any issues with what is now the standard Template Citybox IT.
