To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists:
|
Welcome to the WikiProject Lists, an effort to collaboratively develop Wikipedia's list articles and embedded lists.
Goals
[edit]- In cooperation with WikiProject Outlines and WikiProject Indexes, make a comprehensive navigation system of Wikipedia that lists every page in the encyclopedia.
- Make all lists titled "List of " conform to the standards of Featured list criteria
- Note that outlines, indices, glossaries, timelines, and tables have their own standards. See their respective WikiProjects for details.
- Note also that some "List of " pages are misnamed, and are actually outlines or indices, and fall within the scope of those two WikiProjects. Most of the misnamed lists include "topics" in their titles.
- Check through Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lists
- Disperse Category:Lists into their proper subcategories
- Create Wikipedia:Most wanted articles#List of <anything>
- Reduce the number of inappropriate laundry lists
- Maintain Wikipedia:Contents and its subpages
- Make more lists to better organize Wikipedia articles
- Maintain and develop the list guidelines and help pages.
Scope
[edit]- The project covers most articles that are (or contain) lists. The lists that are intended as navigation aids are covered by WikiProject Outlines and WikiProject Indexes.
Tools
[edit]List-friendly search results enhancements
[edit]- SearchSuite.js provides menu items to modify your search results. Some of the features include sort, hide details (listify), and even format your search results for easy copying and pasting into lists, with a click of your mouse. And more.

Assessment
[edit]The assessment department gives details of our Quality and Importance statistics. This project will use only FL, List, and Stub for articles. Quality Classes such as Image, Template, Portal, Disambiguation, Category and Project will only be included in order to conform with the predefined Wikipedia:Namespace.
Currently, this project uses the Version 1.0 Editorial Team bot for article statistics. Therefore, it has become necessary for the project create a Custom mask for Quality class. The Custom mask for WikiProject Lists limits class to FL, List, and Stub for articles, and automatically changes incorrect class codes.

Notable list categories
[edit]Incomplete lists
Because of Wikipedia's role as an almanac and a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists, such as the list of U.S. state birds, are complete and unlikely to change for a long time.
Other lists are missing entries and are called incomplete lists. Incomplete lists should be immediately preceded by the {{Incomplete list}} template, or one of its topic-specific variations.
To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►": |
---|
Dynamic lists
Some lists, such as List of numbers, are intentionally inexhaustive, as they are only meant to list notable examples from a given category. These are known as "dynamic lists" and should be preceded by the {{Dynamic list}} template. Some dynamic lists require updates: for example, a list of notable alumni from a given university, or Lists of plants may need to be updated as clades and classifications are debated by botanists.
To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►": |
---|
It is our hope that other Wikipedians will pick up where we leave off, and add more items to the list, bringing it, if not to completion, at least to a mature state in which only minor updates are required as times change. Of course, it's not clear for all lists what should or shouldn't be on them, and completion may never be clear for these lists, but there should at least come a point where most representative and widely agreed upon entries are present.
