Structure
editGoals
editOur goal right now is to create articles related to the Saskatchewan highway network. To make these goals easier to accomplish, this page is divided into phases.
Phases of Project
editWe are currently in Phase 1 of the project. Please consult the tasks section to see your list of duties.
- Stub Creation, 1 paragraph or less is fine. Don't forget to add stub templates!
- Stub Expansion, add some details, a few more sentences to a whole paragraph.
- Further Review, expansion, add a paragraph or two.
- Final expansion, Images and templates to spruce article up.
- Patrol.
Tasks

Contest Department
editSimilar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article.This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
You may want to enter the ongoing contest to earn awards!!
Current Focus: Please improve these primary highway articles to good and feature article status. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canada_Roads/Saskatchewan#NotabilityHigh Importance and most notable articles listed here as they have the most notability in Saskatchewan.
- Example articles which have been worked on longer than some of the others: Saskatchewan Highway 913, Saskatchewan Highway 1 Trans Canada, Saskatchewan Highway 11 Louis Riel Trail, Saskatchewan Highway 58, Saskatchewan Highway 16 Yellowhead or Section of CanAm Highway Saskatchewan Highway 39
Showcase selected highway articles
editPortal Saskatchewan Selected Highway has been established to showcase the finer Saskatchewan highway articles. Instructions for Portal additions. As an article is adopted, please add highways of better quality to this section. It would be awesome, if all articles at some time would be feature class or Good Status articles.
Article Content Considerations
editCanadian Highway notability guidelines Talk
Try to add these sections to an article: If a road/highway may contain appropriate information but has not been developed add under that section heading: {{Template:Sectstub}} If no information is available delete the section heading.
- To contribute or to know which Highways, or Roads to adopt click on the list of highways or list of roads, and any article that has a red link should be adopted or added please.
- Add this substitution template... {{subst:Saskatchewan Highways}} into your article page and save.' This template was created with help from standards set by several WikiProjects and WikiProject Biography Just follow these 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article
This {{subst:SK Highways Template}} will also have several variations óf the template to add a 'highway shield to junction boxes and to infoboxes.
- Fill in the sections for your chosen Saskatchewan Highway and save.
- Add the appropriate WP templates and ratings to the talk page.
Infoboxes
edit- e.g.{{Infobox projectname}}
{{Infobox projectname }}
- Use Infobox road infobox template for your new article creations. See an example in use at Highway 19 There are instructions for how to fill in the fields at Infobox road
There is a new template being used for example Saskatchewan Highway 914:

Stub templates
edit- e.g. {{projectname-stub}}
- The current stub being used on Saskatchewan road articles is {{Canada-road-stub}}. If we find that we need a new stub to differentiate, then we can always change them. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 20:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- and the associated stub category Category:Canada road stubs
