A Wikipedia:WikiProject is a group of people. The point of this tag is to help people figure out whether this set of pages is currently being used by a group of people. The pages associated with currently inactive and defunct groups are not normally deleted, and whether there is an active group of people for a given set of pages is not a comment on whether the subject is objectively important to the world. Marking groups' activity levels has a purely practical goal: It helps other editors know where they'll likely find the help they need.
Pages with this template are placed into the appropriate category depending on the status selected as shown below:
|active
or if left blank (default) = Category:Active WikiProjects|semi-active
= Category:Semi-active WikiProjects|draft
= Category:Draft WikiProjects|inactive
= Category:Inactive WikiProjects|defunct
= Category:Defunct WikiProjectsExample:
With no parameters or with the |active
parameter:
![]() | This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
|
Place this template at the top of any WikiProject that appears to be barely active:
{{WikiProject status|Semi-active}}
A project is generally considered semi-active when:
Minor fiddling with formatting, automatic archiving, and unanswered messages to the WikiProject from outsiders ("Could someone with this project please help me with...") or from bots do not count as signs of project activity.
Any editor may add this template and parameter to the top of any apparently semi-active WikiProject. Any member of the project may remove it if it is placed in error. Upon removal, please consider placing a message on the WikiProject's talk page to indicate that the group is still active.
Example:
![]() | This WikiProject is believed to be semi-active. Although activity is slower than it once was, anyone is welcome to participate in the project. Remove the
|Semi-active parameter from this template if activity resumes or if this tag was changed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this WikiProject, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status|Inactive}} . |
Place this template at the top of any WikiProject that appears to be a proposal or still under construction to an extent that it is not yet usable:
{{WikiProject status|Draft}}
A project is generally considered draft when:
Neither work to reconfigure aspects of a project or add new features, nor some features becoming moribund, constitute a project lapsing into draft state.
Any editor may add this template and parameter to the top of any apparently incomplete WikiProject. Any member of the project may remove it if it is placed in error. Upon removal, please consider placing a message on the WikiProject's talk page to indicate that the group is in fact active.
Example:
![]() | This WikiProject is believed to be in a draft, or proposal state. Activity may not have progressed very far, or begun at all, yet. See the WikiProject Guide for advice on reviving an inactive WikiProject, should this one remain incomplete or unlaunched for an extended period of time. Feel free to remove the
|Draft parameter from this template if activity starts up in earnest or if this tag was placed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this WikiProject, or it remains incomplete, for several months, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status|Inactive}} . |
Place this template at the top of any WikiProject:
{{WikiProject status|Inactive}}
A project is generally considered inactive when:
Minor fiddling with formatting, automatic archiving, and unanswered messages to the WikiProject from outsiders ("Could someone with this project please help me with...") or from bots do not count as signs of project activity.
Any editor may add this template and parameter to the top of any apparently inactive WikiProject. Any member of the project may remove it if it is placed in error. Upon removal, please consider placing a message on the WikiProject's talk page to indicate that the group is still active.
Example:
![]() | This WikiProject is believed to be inactive. Consider looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse.
If you are not currently a project participant and wish to help you may still participate in the project. This status should be changed if collaborative activity resumes. |
Place this template at the top of any WikiProject that appears to be defunct:
{{WikiProject status|Defunct}}
Replace the {{inactive}} tag if it is present, or remove the inactive=yes
parameter from {{Infobox Wikipedia WikiProject}}, if present.
Before applying the tag:
Any editor may add this template and parameter to the top of any apparently defunct WikiProject, after following the steps above. Any member of the project may remove it if it is placed in error. Upon removal, please consider placing a message on the WikiProject's talk page to indicate that the group is still active or at least revivable.
Example:
![]() | This WikiProject is defunct. Consider looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse. If you feel this project may be worth reviving, please discuss with related projects first. Feel free to change this tag if the parameters were changed in error.
