edit·history·watch·refresh  To-do list for විකිපීඩියා:WikiProject Lists:


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Maintain : Portal:Contents/Lists
  • Update : Article rating systems in banners of existing WikiProjects to give more than just "list class" ratings for lists

Welcome to the WikiProject Lists, an effort to collaboratively develop Wikipedia's list articles and embedded lists.

Goals

  • 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 Scope

  • 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

List-friendly search results enhancements

  • 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

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.

Incomplete lists

Main category: Category: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 typically complete and unlikely to change for a long time.

Some lists, however, cannot be considered complete, or even representative of the class of items being listed; such lists should be immediately preceded by the {Expand list} template, or one of the topic-specific variations that can be found at Category:Hatnote templates for lists. Other lists, such as List of numbers, may never be fully complete, or may require constant updates to remain current – these are known as "dynamic lists", and should be preceded by the {Dynamic list} template.

It is our hope that other Wikipedians will pick up where we leave off, and add more items to the list, bringing it closer, if not to completion, then 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 it, and so 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.
