Scope

edit

Anything related to Transport in Australia is considered to be under the scope of the project. Anything under Category:Transport in Australia and its subcategories will likely be within the scope of the project. This includes all modes of transport, and not just public transport.


Our goals

edit
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of transport in Australia.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Australian transport by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles in a fair and accurate manner.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Australian transport in Wikipedia.
  • To expand and improve existing articles, and bring some to GA or FA status.


To do

edit

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

  • Add |transport=yes to {{WikiProject Australia}} on all relevant pages
  • Engage in policy, naming suggestions and article format consistency regarding Australian transport.
    • Adopt a list of reliable sources for Australian transport-related articles.
  • Engage with WikiProject Australia and WikiProject Transport and bring in editors from them.
  • Determine the notability of articles within the project at AfD, and add reliable sources if possible.

Previously heavily involved, limited time and energy at present given previous decisions re quality of sources and level of detail.

  14. ArrowAU (talk · contribs) — WA, primarily interested in Perth public transport, roads, some national locomotives, and limited knowledge of aviation. Some added knowledge of Routemaps and BSicons through contributions to other (fictional) transport-related wikis.

I keep an eye out in the news for any events, new projects/organisations etc. that I can add to relevant articles (or create new articles for) on Wikipedia. I've worked with BSicons as well as infoboxes and other common templates.
  16. DrRespect (talk · contribs) — WA, public transport, roads, infobox maps, BSicon route and station maps
