Tasks
[edit]- Standardize titles with "Second World War" in them to "World War II" (for consistency and to improve search results)
- Search for titles with "WWII" in them, add to link dump
- Process items in link dump (and then remove link dump section): delete those not relevant to this subject, place those that are (into relevant subsections)
- Browse the links and add further relevant links as you come across them
- Once this list is complete/comprehensive, copy all links to List of World War II topics, and then alphabetize that list (converting it to index format).
- Then cull this list back to basic scope
what is this list about?
[edit]This is supposed to be a list of basic topics not "The following list of topics is provided as an overview of and introduction to World War II"
How is "basic" defined here? Usually it is - Of, relating to, or forming a base; fundamental--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 01:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The "History of" section needs links!
[edit]Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
[edit]Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
- http://www.warphotos.co.nr/
- Triggered by

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
[edit]"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
