WikiProjects are projects with its focus on one part of a wiki's scope. If you would like to help out with a project, you can just add your name to the participants list; there are no requirements for joining. A project usually lists what goals it has so its members and other users can complete them. Even if you aren't part of a project, you can edit any of the articles in its scope. Vice-versa, if you are part of the project, you can edit any articles outside of its scope; a project doesn't bind you to that specific area. Projects are mainly there to show what you can do, and what you focus on.

List of projects

Any other project ideas should be brought to an administrator, or on the talk page.

Leaders

Projects, in addition to listing goals and and participants, also have leaders. If a page falls under two projects, then the two project leaders must collaborate and agree on how a page should be formatted. If a project leader is inactive for a month or more without warning, an administrator should post on their talk page and inquire about their inactivity. If there is no response within two weeks, their powers may be revoked and given to a more active user.

Project leaders have the ability to do the following:

  • Set goals for the project to accomplish
  • Manage the to-do list
  • Create page guidelines and outlines falling under the project's scope
  • Settle any disputes related to the project

(I'm also considering adding a usergroup for project leaders, enabling them to delete/protect pages.)

How to become a leader

(Still need to think about this. I was thinking something like posting on the project's talk page and asking to volunteer for project leader, having a vote and some requirements, etc.)
