![]() Welcome to WikiProject Tropical cyclones, a WikiProject to systematically organize all the information in Wikipedia related to Tropical cyclones (also known as hurricanes or typhoons). This project's focus is to centralize the efforts of many Wikipedians to make Wikipedia the best free resource when it comes to information about the subject. If you want to help, feel free to look at the project's noticeboard, the to do list, the #wiki-hurricanes IRC channel, or this talk page. ScopeThis WikiProject aims to provide a common layout for articles on historical tropical cyclones, which includes tropical cyclone articles for storms that have been given a name (e.g., Hurricane Charley), as well as seasonal basin articles (e.g. 2004 Atlantic hurricane season) and articles that are required as a framework for those articles (e.g. Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, tropical cyclone). Goals

StructureTemplates will provide a useful set of features to show information on tropical cyclones and seasons in a consistent format. Guidelines for naming, links, and categorization help keep the vast number of articles properly interconnected. BasinsTropical cyclones are separated by basin. Generally each basin has its own categories; all articles for a particular basin are inter-woven using links and categories. It's important that the basin is listed identically (including capitalization) for all articles. The basin is generally passed in to templates to automatically create categorizations and links within an article. The basins include:
TemplatesA number of templates exist to make life easier for tropical cyclone article writers. For a complete list, see Category:Hurricane templates.
Tropical cyclone article naming
Tropical cyclone article guidelines
Tropical cyclone season article guidelines
Tropical cyclone categoriesThese guidelines show how existing storms, disambiguations, and seasons are categorized. Categorizing all articles consistently makes it easier for readers to navigate through related articles.
Images and image namesTo make uploading and categorization easier, season and storm articles should have consistent types of images and those images should have consistent names.
Hierarchy definitionTropical cyclones are categorized by basin, strength, season, and region. Seasons are categorized by basin and year. Tasks

For by-topic listings of articles that need attention, see: To flag an article for attention, add a cleanup template to the article or talk page. See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for a listing. All previously listed articles have either been fixed or tagged. See also the page history of Wikipedia:Votes for rewrite which ran from May 2002-June 2003 then was redirected to here. Adopt an articleSimilar 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.

New Wikipedia articles related to Tropical CyclonesPlease feel free to list your new Tropical Cyclones-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page.
