Less than 500 references:
Need restructuring - with no to-do list yet (insert new ones alphabetically):
Structure identified (insert new ones alphabetically):
In progress (insert new ones at the end):
- Force, Mass, Atom, Photosynthesis, Biology (not specifically using template here, but a major rewrite for nontechnical and introductory readers), Fungus, Gravity
Done (insert new ones alphabetically)
Feature articles (insert new ones alphabetically; see also Categorized feature articles, archival listing):
Here is the procedure to add an article to these lists:
- scan a list of articles, eg. in a category, to find popular articles
- go to the article and click on "What links here" to see how many references it has.
- check that it has more than 500 references
This can be done by using the "limit" and "offset" parameters in the "what links here" link where limit=20 and offset=495, for which 3 different outcomes are distinguishable- "no pages link here" which occurs if there are <495 links to an article (example WHYY)
- >5 articles, which indicates that there are >500 articles linking to the targer (example Brain)
- <5 articles, meaning that there 495<n<500 articles link to the target {no example}
- note that the article count includes links from the Wikipedia, Category, Talk, and other non-Main article spaces
- --> Review not complete (Reviewed for "Done" items in listing above)
- check if it needs restructuring (see the proposed article structure below).
- if it does not need restructuring:
- -->Done
- if it needs restructuring:
- --> Need restructuring
- Optional: write a to-do list
- add {{todo1}} at the top of the talk page of the article; this creates a to-do list of priority 1.
- click "Edit this list" and add the tasks to be done to improve it; please add a reference to Wikipedia:WikiProject Science, in order to advertise our project.
- it is good etiquette, but not a requirement, to contribute to an article before creating a to-do list.
- --> Structure identified
- restructure the article by moving things around (Be bold : avoid using a temporary page)
- remove the to-do list
- add {{WPStructure|PROJECT=Science}} at the begin of the talk page
- --> In progress
- fill any missing sections
- --> Done
- bring it to Feature Article status
- --> Feature article
If it has less than 500 references but still needs improvements, you are still encouraged to insert a to-do list of lower priority ({{To do}}, ... ). Again, include a reference to Wikipedia:WikiProject Science, in order to advertise our project.
