User:LivingBot/ProjectSignup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiProjects should be able to shout from the rooftops!

This is the page for Wikipedians wishing to sign their project(s) up to an automated WikiProject announcement system.

Overview

[edit]

WikiProject volunteers put in a lot of time and energy into Wikipedia. The growth of the WikiProject is inevitably recognised within the project itself, but unfortunately this growth is rarely known amongst other Wikipedians. In theory, the propagation of statistics about the burgeoning WikiProject should be supported by the Announcements page. In reality, however, this seems to have remarkably little on it, and has even been thought of as an archive (which it isn't!). To rectify this, the process for showing off the effort members of a project have put in needs to be made much simpler. It is my belief that projects should get their announcements relayed automatically as well as manually.

I hope you agree with me! - Jarry1250 (t, c) 21:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

How to sign a project up

[edit]

All the members of the project must do is to specify:

  • What numbers they would like measuring e.g. Good articles covered by the project.
  • How best to get these figures e.g. GAs might all be found together in one category
  • What milestones these figures should be compared to. A large WikiProject might feel reaching 100,000 is significant; a small WikiProject might celebrate serving 100 articles.

A bot will run at least once a week, checking to see if the project has surpassed a milestone. If it has, it will be recorded on the announcements page.

WikiProjects are allowed multiple entries. Some suggestions:

  • Featured article count
  • Featured sound/image count
  • Good article count
  • Total article count
