This table is now up to date again.
It is updated by a tool on the toolserver; it will not work if the toolserver is
having problems. If this chart is showing much more than zero,
then the table will be updated slowly or not at all.

The India WikiProject is a group dedicated to improving Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to the Republic of India and the history of the Indian subcontinent. The goals of this group are three-fold; to provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe aspects of India, to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of India by creating, expanding, and maintaining factual articles, to serve as the point of discussion for issues related to India in Misplaced Pages. To achieve the goals, this project group has developed features to help in managing its creative work. It includes Departments, which coordinate work on certain tasks, such as peer review or project-wide collaboration and Work Groups, and focus on content and articles related to India, such as cities, politics and culture.

Participation

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject India/Members. Feel free to add your name and join in this initiative.

Departments

Departments are groups of members who do specific work. Tasks include authoring, maintaining the project pages, administering portals, adding articles, participating in reviews, managing the project and so on. The following is a list of departments within the WikiProject. WikiProject Members may not necessarily do only departmental tasks. They can contribute content as a member of Work Groups as well.

Coverage

  • Refine and maintain the List of basic India topics, a key guide on Misplaced Pages to India as a subject. It serves as a table of contents, summary, and topic outline of coverage on the country India and is the most useful tool on Misplaced Pages for exploring and understanding fundamental material about India (and how it fits together) on Misplaced Pages. Its purpose is an important one: it simply enables readers to see at a glance how the subject of India is broken down, what the component topics are, and how they relate to each other - that is, how information on India is organized (here, and in the world-at-large). It is a site map and outline of knowledge that demystifies the subject known as "India". Because of its central role in the presentation of Misplaced Pages's coverage of this subject, it is very important to develop and maintain it to the highest level of quality: to help readers improve their conceptual awareness and understanding of India as well as find their way around this subject on Misplaced Pages. For examples of other pages in this set, see List of basic France topics, List of basic Thailand topics, List of basic Japan topics, List of basic Taiwan topics, and List of basic Iceland topics, all of which are currently completed to a higher level of quality than this page. In other words, much work needs to be done: the List of basic India topics is incomplete, needs your editing contributions, and is especially in need of pictures!

Outreach

The outreach department guides its members on strengthening the sense of community in this project. Members' tasks include welcoming new members in the project, helping other editors in the project, managing the newsletters and helping the general project community to be in touch.

Assessment

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Misplaced Pages's Indian articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject India}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

Collaboration

The Indian Collaboration of the month seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every month, a maximum of five articles are selected to be in the focus, and the project attempts to improve them, potentially to featured article standards.

Any articles dealing with some aspect of India (except for current featured articles and featured article candidates) are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.

Peer review

The peer review department conducts peer reviews of India-related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.

Photography

The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in India articles.

Cartography

The cartography department aims to create a collection of high-quality maps for use in India articles. The department gathers existing public domain and free-license maps as well as creating new ones from other materials where no suitable maps can be found. All project members are welcome to request additional maps that may be needed for particular articles from the department.

Requests

The Requested articles and Request department aims to organize, create and elevate the status of requested articles as well as properly categorize all newly created articles and remember to tag with wikiproject india.

Manual of Style

Main page: Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/India-related articles

Indic scripts in lead

Shortcut

There is community consensus that the lead sentence of an article should not contain any regional or Indic language script. It is suggested that IPA be used for help with pronunciation. For details, refer to this RfC: Native languages in lead.

Check Misplaced Pages:WikiProject India/Workgroups to see the Project organisation.

Project banner

Place this WikiProject notice {{WikiProject India}} at the top of an article's Talk page to direct editors to the Wikiproject India. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject India/Project banner for banner usage guidelines.
