The Organizations WikiProject is currently building a new framework for the Organizations category! We are planning to add all notable organizations by location, subject, and year from the "bottom-up", as well as move existing pages into the new scheme from the "top-down". Feel free to add content below, or share your thoughts on the Categorization Taskforce discussion page.

Welcome to the Organizations WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of local, regional and international organizations. If you would like to join us, please feel free to add your name to the list of project members!

Goals
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe organizations.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of organizations by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
  • To develop and maintain a featured quality portal, with an intuitive system of navigation templates, as well as various infoboxes and an integrated assessment process for articles.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to organizations in Wikipedia.
Scope
The project generally considers articles about any incorporated, registered, or otherwise legitimate organization to be within its scope. The term "organization" is applicable to any active or historical association, society, union, foundation, or corporation as well as any related and notable conferences or events.

Contents

[edit] Announcements and open tasks

  • Step 3 (basic editing) of the Portal, (instructions here)
  • Paste in main article structure
    • Paste in 2nd and (relevant) 3rd tier headings from example
  • Create WP:ORG redirect (example)
  • Fix and configure Navigation and announcement templates.
  • Implement system for bot tracking articles in order to assess them.

*change name of templates to reflect new shortcut (WPORGZ)

Structure
Modelled after WP:WARS, internally the project will develop several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:
  • Coordinators, who are responsible for maintaining the administrative aspects of the project.
  • Departments, which coordinate work on certain specialized tasks, such as the main portal, article assessment, peer review, or other project-wide collaboration.
  • Task forces, which are more informal groups for collaboration on specific areas of organizations, such as particular locations, regions, or types.

[edit] Bulletin board

The Bulletin Board is for announcement of issues, ongoing disputes or *FDs, problems, proposed new projects, etc.

[edit] Departments and task forces

Task force pages should be set up to handle issues with the organizations categories structure, infoboxes, notability standards, and other issues. For now, these are lists of tasks that need to be done that could eventually become a taskforce.

  info
The WikiProject Council logo WikiProject Council would like to inform all Wikipedians that it may be advantageous to:
  • Join WikiProjects of your field of knowledge or interest. This will provide you with a forum in which exchange opinions and identify common goals with respect to articles under that topic, as well as coordinated opportunities to share your knowledge.
    You may also join Maintenance WikiProjects where the focus is on the organization and functioning of Wikipedia in general.
  • Beware of overloading yourself with WikiProject memberships. Keep involved in a handful of WikiProjects to which you can actively and assiduously contribute. But always be willing to help any WikiProject when you see an opportunity, regardless of membership.
