List-friendly search results enhancements

Guidelines

Assessment

[edit]

The assessment department gives details of our Quality and Importance statistics. This project will use only FL, List, and Stub for articles. Quality Classes such as Image, Template, Portal, Disambiguation, Category and Project will only be included in order to conform with the predefined Wikipedia:Namespace.

Currently, this project uses the Version 1.0 Editorial Team bot for article statistics. Therefore, it has become necessary for the project create a Custom mask for Quality class. The Custom mask for WikiProject Lists limits class to FL, List, and Stub for articles, and automatically changes incorrect class codes.

Notable list categories

[edit]

Incomplete lists

Main category: Incomplete lists
"WP:Incomplete" redirects here. Not to be confused with WP:Work in progress.

Because of Wikipedia's role as an almanac and a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists, such as the list of U.S. state birds, are complete and unlikely to change for a long time.

Other lists are missing entries and are called incomplete lists. Incomplete lists should be immediately preceded by the {{Incomplete list}} template, or one of its topic-specific variations.

To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►":
Incomplete lists (206 C)

Dynamic lists

Main category: Dynamic lists

Some lists, such as List of numbers, are intentionally inexhaustive, as they are only meant to list notable examples from a given category. These are known as "dynamic lists" and should be preceded by the {{Dynamic list}} template. Some dynamic lists require updates: for example, a list of notable alumni from a given university, or Lists of plants may need to be updated as clades and classifications are debated by botanists.

To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►":
Dynamic lists (1 C, 10,414 P)

It is our hope that other Wikipedians will pick up where we leave off, and add more items to the list, bringing it, if not to completion, at least to a mature state in which only minor updates are required as times change. Of course, it's not clear for all lists what should or shouldn't be on them, and completion may never be clear for these lists, but there should at least come a point where most representative and widely agreed upon entries are present.

2 people Members and userbox

[edit]

A list of participants can be found at Category:WikiProject Lists participants.

To add yourself to the project add the following to your userpage:

[[Category:WikiProject Lists participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]

Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add {{User WPLISTS}} or {{User WP Lists}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.

General list templates

[edit]
  • {{Delsort |Lists}} - to add an AfD to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lists. Produces:
  • {{Dynamic list}} -
    This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
  • {{Expand list}} or {{Inc-list}} -

Content type list templates

[edit]

Stub templates

[edit]

Stub templates are placed at the end of articles, below the categories. If the article's content consists of only list material, please use a Request for improvement template rather than a stub template.

Tags
