[edit] Structure

• In the instance that an article needs to be disambiguated because another article exists with the same name (as in the case of Duel), the article title should have (game show) added to it.
  • If it is the case that it is a game show that has a US version and another version in another country than it should be Game show title (country name (US, UK abbreviated) game show).

[edit] Hierarchy definition

No classification of this project has been defined.

[edit] Goals

1. Organize articles about television game shows.
2. Create well written articles.

[edit] Projects

1. In the future, create a possible subproject on The Price Is Right (U.S. game show)

[edit] Tasks

1. Currently organize the project
2. Assess all unassessed articles
3. Add the Game Show Project banner to every game show related article.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

• Example article: Easy as 1 2 3

[edit] Templates

[edit] Stub templates

NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.
