Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Workshop
 | The following is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. |
Template:Current-GCOTW The Computer and video games workshop is a collaborative effort to promote non-stub essential computer and video game articles to good or featured status. Although the workshop is maintained by members of WikiProject Computer and video games, all editors are welcome to participate.
How to nominate
To nominate a non-stub article for improvement, add the following to the bottom of the list of nominations, inserting the name of the article and a short comment explaining why you feel the article should be the focus of the workshop:
==[[name of article]]== '''Support''' # ~~~~ '''Comments''' * add comment here
Articles that are stubs or do not exist should not be nominated here, but may be nominated at Gaming Collaboration of the week for improvement. Non-stub articles that have not been identified as essential may be submitted to CVG peer review if they are close to featured status.
How to support
Supporting an article indicates a willing commitment to aid in the collaboration to improve the article. Although there is no formal requirement, it is suggested that you only support articles to which you can contribute, so that the workshop's goal of improving articles can be better met.
The CVG workshop uses an approval voting system. Therefore, only support votes are allowed. Any registered user acting in good faith is encouraged to support, but must abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sockpuppets. You may support as many articles as you wish by adding
# ~~~~
to the bottom of the appropriate Support section. If you wish to withdraw support, add an asterisk and strike-through tags as shown:
#* <s>[[User:Username|Username]] 08:59, Jul 1 2005 (UTC)</s>
This allows Wikipedia to correctly calculate the remaining support.
How to improve articles
See rge Style and How-to Directory for advice on writing great articles, or look at the discussion of the perfect article and try to reach as close to as many of those ideals as possible. The WikiProject page has guidelines specifically related to CVG articles.
