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.

Background and project basics

A WikiProject is a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific family of information within Wikipedia. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles, but a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. The attached talk pages are a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project. Projects can also have associated Wikiportals.

Regional notice boards also seek to improve a broad category of articles based on geographical regions.

Suggestions for new projects

1. Read Wikiproject Best practices for tips on leading a WikiProject.
2. Create the main project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject projectname. (See Starting a new page)
3. Create an outline on your project page:
   • Add {{subst:WikiProject|projectname}} into your main project page and save. (See m:Help:Template for details.)
4. Identify pages within the scope of your project:
   • A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
   • You will probably want to save a copy of the list on a project status subpage.
5. Create a project to-do list to focus and coordinate your collaborative efforts.
6. If possible, link to a sample article to give other Wikipedians a feel for the project's goals.
7. Advertise!
   • Create a project notice template, and insert it at the top of the talk page of related articles.
