; New Aims

After discussion at ] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article ] up to ] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least ] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members


;'''Article tagging'''
This month I thought that I would focus on article tagging. Article tagging is the means of identifying that an article is within the scope of the project. This is done by placing the project template {{tl|WikiProject Yorkshire}} on the talk page of an article below any existing project banners. Some pages have a number of banners and can get very cluttered, if this is the case then a shell is used to wrap the templates together and collapse them down to a single line. The main shells in use are {{tl|WikiProjectBannerShell}} and {{tl|WikiProjectBanners}} and any new template should be added inside the shell template. There is no longer a requirement to add the 'nested=yes' parameter to the Yorkshire template when doing this as it will be ignored.

Why tag, you may ask, the reason is to be able to locate relevant articles among all of Misplaced Pages's articles. If article 'Foo' is relevant to Yorkshire then, unless it is tagged, no one in the project will know it exists unless they happen to stumble across it. The odds are against this happening so tagging makes it easily identifiable to project members.

Once an article has been tagged it can be assessed to see what quality and importance it is to the project. This is done using the assessment parameters to the template, 'class=' and 'importance=', you can leave these to more experienced people to pick-up and assign. The results of this are shown in the statistics table on the left of the newsletter. Tagging also makes the articles appear on the project watchlist, article alerts log and clean-up listing when they are refreshed by the appropriate bot. It also provides readers with a point of contact if they wish to discuss the article in more detail and no responce has been received on the article's talk page or a wider audience is required on the discussion.

I would therefore encourage members to add the project template to the talk pages of articles they find that are relevant to the project so the rest of us know that it exists. You can also tag templates, categories etc. as these are all relevant to maintenance of the articles in the scope of the project. Vandalism on a template can affect a large number of articles so it needs watching.

]The project is subscribed to a ] which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis. The latest listing was created on '''March 9th'''.

*''Monitor''<br />Use the ] to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
*''Infoboxes''<br />Many of our articles would benefit from the addition of an appropriate infobox.

*''Assessment''<br />] Assessment of Yorkshire related articles has been revised recently due to new classes being added by the ]<br />The changes are:<br />
**The '''new C-Class''' represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
**The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of ], and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
**A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as ].

*''References''<br />Please remember that the ] is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference.

*''Moves''<br />Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.

  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Indonesian (voy:id:)
