[edit] Recurring tasks
[edit] Archiving
| Purpose: |
Manual archiving keeps the structure in the archive. |
| If dropped: |
We need to investigate if we can use a bot. |
[edit] What's New
| Purpose: |
Make it easy for members to see what's going on |
| If dropped: |
Members have to filter the chaff from the wheat in the project and talk history or miss changes |
Whenever there was a major change, such as a new member or a new discussion, I added it in What's New. This may be a bit too difficult for some members since I kept this in table format. If we want to keep it simpler then I could remove the table.
[edit] Adding our banner
| Purpose: |
Make others aware of our project |
| If dropped: |
No major consequences |
Whenever a page gets into the focus of our project, {{Banner WPSLR}} should be added to its talk page. It is recommended to enter the page also right away in Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope.
[edit] Watchlists
| Purpose: |
Help members see what's going on in our scope |
| If dropped: |
We will be less able to react and may even become inactive in our core area |
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope should contain all articles, categories and templates in our scope. The best way to make sure this is the case is by comparing the page with Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Banner_WPSLR.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope should contain all pages of our project. The best way to make sure this is the case is by adding a page here whenever a new page in our project has been added.
[edit] New users
| Purpose: |
Advertize our project |
| If dropped: |
People will be less aware of it; this hampers our effort at getting our proposals accepted. Especially new editors may resort to edit wars instead of following our advice. It also will hamper our membership growth. |
Greet newbies with {{Welcome SLR}} and others with {{Welcome SLR|intro=-}}

[edit] When a member applied
| Purpose: |
Making it easier for others to vote |
| If dropped: |
Fewer people may vote |
- Check background (Has member violated policies recently?)
- Add to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/whatsnew:
- Add this to the table header:
! [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation#Members and applications|New membership application]]
-
- And this to table body:
|
* [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sri_Lanka_Reconciliation#Neuralolive_.28talk_.E2.80.A2_contribs.29|Neuralolive]]
- Don't forget to vote!
[edit] 48 hours after an application
| Purpose: |
Obvious - accepting and welcoming a new member |
| If dropped: |
If we dropped this, we'd have to drop the whole membership application process. The alternative is for people to just sign up, like in many other WikiProjects. |
They always have been accepted, so this only covers that case.
- Add that the vote has been closed and archive it.
- Add new member to member table on WP:SLR#Members.
- Welcome new member on their talk page:

[edit] Voting related
[edit] closing votes
| Purpose: |
Reaching a conclusion |
| If dropped: |
Votes that are not closed are frustrating |
[edit] adding voting results to WP:SLR
| Purpose: |
Accruing a set of recommendations |
| If dropped: |
It will be much harder for everyone to refer to our recommendations |
