 | This page was subservient to WP:SLR, which has been closed in 2015. |
| Purpose: |
Manual archiving keeps the structure in the archive.
|
| If dropped: |
We need to investigate if we can use a bot.
|
| Purpose: |
Make it easy for members to see what's going on
|
| If dropped: |
Members have to filter the chaff from the wheat in the project and talk history or miss changes
|
Whenever there was a major change, such as a new member or a new discussion, I added it in What's New. This may be a bit too difficult for some members since I kept this in table format. If we want to keep it simpler then I could remove the table.
| Purpose: |
Make others aware of our project
|
| If dropped: |
No major consequences
|
Whenever a page gets into the focus of our project, {{Banner WPSLR}} should be added to its talk page. It is recommended to enter the page also right away in Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope.
| Purpose: |
Help members see what's going on in our scope
|
| If dropped: |
We will be less able to react and may even become inactive in our core area
|
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope should contain all articles, categories and templates in our scope. The best way to make sure this is the case is by comparing the page with Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Banner_WPSLR.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope should contain all pages of our project. The best way to make sure this is the case is by adding a page here whenever a new page in our project has been added.
| Purpose: |
Advertize our project
|
| If dropped: |
People will be less aware of it; this hampers our effort at getting our proposals accepted. Especially new editors may resort to edit wars instead of following our advice. It also will hamper our membership growth.
|
Greet newbies with {{Welcome SLR}} and others with {{Welcome SLR|intro=-}}
When a member applied
edit
| Purpose: |
Making it easier for others to vote
|
| If dropped: |
Fewer people may vote
|
- Check background (Has member violated policies recently?)
- Add to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/whatsnew:
- Add this to the table header:
! [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation#Members and applications|New membership application]]
- And this to table body:
|
* [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sri_Lanka_Reconciliation#Neuralolive_.28talk_.E2.80.A2_contribs.29|Neuralolive]]
- Don't forget to vote!
48 hours after an application
edit
| Purpose: |
Obvious - accepting and welcoming a new member
|
| If dropped: |
If we dropped this, we'd have to drop the whole membership application process. The alternative is for people to just sign up, like in many other WikiProjects.
|
They always have been accepted, so this only covers that case.
- Add that the vote has been closed and archive it.
- Add new member to member table on WP:SLR#Members.
- Welcome new member on their talk page:
== Welcome to WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation! ==
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our project. Here's an overview of what's currently going on there:
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/whatsnew}}
This box will update automatically. I'm looking forward to your contributions! ~~~~
| Purpose: |
Reaching a conclusion
|
| If dropped: |
Votes that are not closed are frustrating
|
adding voting results to WP:SLR
edit
| Purpose: |
Accruing a set of recommendations
|
| If dropped: |
It will be much harder for everyone to refer to our recommendations
|
To add a new source to our List of sources proceed as follows:
- Start a new topic about that source on WT:SLR (Usually, we simply enter the official name as a title for the section).
- Copy the following text to the end of the table at List of sources, and replace the green cursive placeholders as appropriate:
- |-
- | [[Official Name]]
- | [http://www.name.org name.org]
- | UnclasS
- |
- | [[WT:SLR#Official Name]]
- When the discussion reached a conclusion (that is, a decision whether it is RS, QS, or unreliable, and how to attribute it, if it is a QS), then resolve as follows:
- Resolve discussion by adding {{resolved|~~~~~}} under the section headline.
- Write results of discussion in table.
- After at least 24 hours, archive as follows:
- Move discussion to archive as usual.
- Update link in the table to point to archived discussion.
