WikiProjects are how you get things done in a wiki. They bring together people who are interested in that specific area of the wiki, and perhaps better use their talents & skills, instead of aimlessly using them throughout the wiki. Each member of the wiki can be a member of any number of WikiProject Teams, but it is recommended you stick to 2 or 3 of them.

Each Project is organized by a project team, under the management of the WikiProject Leader. Note:Being on a wikiproject, doesn't mean you exclusively work on pages that relate to the wikiproject. No does it mean you can't work on a page, because you aren't in the project. Rather, it's meant to be a gathering place of similar-minded, like-interests editors where they can talk about the related topic. It is hear when certain decision will likely be made, such as:

  • what standard sections will be on each page?
  • what templates and/or categories would be useful for grouping & linking pages that are under that topic?
  • What images are needed to complete an article?
  • How can we improve <insert title here>?, although, that is more likely to go on the discussion pages.... which can often be watched by the active membership of a WikiProject Team.

WikiProjects Teams are the primary groups of users in the wiki. Each team can dived itself up into smaller units, task forces, patrols, brigades, etc. They can also help the wiki keep our affiliates up to date on what's going on with the wiki.

All of this, is up to the team and more specifically the team leader.

WikiProject Leaders

Each Wiki Project needs to have 1 leader responsible for continueing the wikiprojects purpose. They can suggest new wikiprojects and form sub-projects.

In addition, each Leader is recommended to join LW:WP, as it is the super-project of all wikiprojects, and any wikiproject tools will be there for your use.

How to become a leader
