From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiProject Novels aims to define a standard of consistency for articles about Novels. Through implementation of standards such as these, Wikipedia can gain some structure to unify it as a reference, making content more easily and quickly located with common organization for novel articles. |
|
However, do not forget the spirit behind these guidelines. If they make editing or reading more difficult for a particular novel or for novels in general, change them or ignore them, preferably with some explanation on talk or meta pages. |
Many novels don't yet have enough on Wikipedia to necessitate layouts such as this, or have special requirements that do not fit the template exactly. Feel free to adapt this WikiProject to specific situations and to discuss changing it. |

WikiProject Novels aims to define a standard of consistency for articles about novels and literary genres associated with fictional narratives. It also aims to encourage and provide the structure for enhancing the writing of high qualilty articles on all manner of different novels. For the purpose of this project "Novels" are deemed to include all works of narrative fiction that exhibit novel like structure, regardless of length and genre. (This includes full novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories.) It also aims to encourage and promote the writing of articles on all types of such Novels. (see "#Hierarchy Definition" for more details of what is in or out of scope.)
[edit] Article structure
[edit] Naming, style and notability
The project itself now has an article style guidelines page which gives a steer on how to go about writing a good article on narrative prose fiction (novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories). n.b. the short examples may need to treat the style guidelines as more tentative in nature.
[edit] Article templates
Articles should be written to an agreed basic style. We encourage all to make use of this template as a starting place for any new article and a guide to the amendment of any existing article that needs improvement.
For Novel articles:

- an Infobox template for a book - /InfoboxCode
For Fictional character articles:

[edit] Job Centre
If you are interested in getting involved with the work of the project sign up above and also have a look at our 'responsibility clearing house' or Job Centre.
[edit] Departments
Departments are specialised areas of the project for a targeted activity, serving in a smaller way the aims of the whole. We have just the five currently.
The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's novel and novel related articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 program. The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{NovelsWikiProject}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
The automation department of the Novels WikiProject uses various automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be extremely tedious to do manually; it collects requests for tasks, discusses whether they are suitable for automation, and attempts to match them with bot operators or users of semi-automated tools for implementation. All project members are invited to request tasks and to comment on the suitability of outstanding requests.
The project's Collaboration of the Month seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every month (currently), a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. All articles dealing with some aspect of novel literature (except for current featured articles and featured article candidates) are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate candidates. The current collaboration article is Cities in Flight.
The outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants. Its primary activity is the production of monthly project newsletters, it also contains a welcome message that can be sent to each new member as they join.
The peer review department conducts peer reviews of articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.
[edit] Task forces
- Please discuss any proposals for new task forces with other members or with the project as a whole before creating them.
Task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of Novels (as defined in the "scope" above); all project members are encouraged to participate in any that interest them.

[edit] Hierarchy definition
Since there are many types of novel, boundaries must be set so that other WikiProjects can guide articles that this one doesn't. (Just like the discussion on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Novel categorization project page.) So far, the titles that have been included are those that the 'man in the street', would call it a 'novel'.
