This page contains a list of articles that have been successfully nominated for Today's Article for Improvement. The current TAFI schedule is available on this page, as well as a list of articles that have not yet been included in the schedule. New additions to this page are added to the bottom of their appropriate category.

Discussion on how to improve an article should take place on that article's talk page. Ideas should be added to a existing or newly created to do list. When possible, editors and WikiProjects interested in the article should be notified that the article has been selected.

Instructions

• When moving entries here from the nominations page, please start at the bottom of the section lists there, to ensure that the oldest successful entries are moved here first.
• Important: New entries here should be placed at the end of the lists, to ensure that older entries are scheduled first.
• When scheduling entries, please start from the top of each section here.

Preparing a scheduled week

Successfully nominated articles are moved from the nominations page to the WP:Articles for improvement page. Articles are selected for the schedule by random by a bot and posted at WT:AFI.

The bot also creates the subpages for the scheduled week. The only additional required human action should be:

Specify a picture and caption by following the redlinks in the box above. Use the format File:Example.jpg to specify the picture, and include a bolded link to the selected article in the caption.

• See Template:AFI picture box for more information and ways to customize the image

The article template {{AFI}} is maintained by a bot and does not need to be added or removed manually. Similarly the {{Former AFI}} template is also automatically added to the talk page of the past week's selection.
