Plan for reactivating WikiProject Systems.

Mission statement

edit

Despite the recent inactivity of WikiProject Systems, the field that it represents, along with the backgrounds and interests of contributors involved in the project, offers a near-unique opportunity to develop a WikiProject that is a paragon of systematic application and development of the tools available to WikiProjects. Since the project was first set up in April 2007, there have been a number of advances in the way that WikiProjects are organised to make it easier to identify and act on required work. This re-activation seeks to use the opportunity granted by the recent inactivity to update the project, and take advantage of these methods set out by model WikiProjects, systematically specifying, developing, and creating an active WikiProject that showcases some of the best practices seen in other WikiProjects, to the benefit of both the project contributors and Wikipedia as a whole.

Overview

edit
  • Identify related and model WikiProjects
  • Archive and update the main project page using required sections
  • Establish a list of bots required for the project and required workflows
  • Establish which templates are required
  • Establish expected manual workflows
  • Contact key and active prior contributors

Other WikiProjects

edit

Model WikiProjects

edit

Are there any further statistics to highlight model WikiProjects? Are there analyses that would show e.g. Ω/ω vs. total article count? N.B. Declaring a particular WikiProject a 'model WikiProject' is not endorsement of any as 'better than all others', or lack of declaration a suggestion that another WikiProject is not as good; simply that, after looking at them, they do something in a way that I like.

Bots for project

edit
Further information: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide § Use bots to save work

Bot workflow

edit
  1. Tag articles based on category
  2. Auto-assess tagged articles
  3. Generate and prioritise cleanup listings from assessed and auto-assessed articles

Templates

Project page

edit
Further information: /New Project Page
  1. Compare project page structure to model WikiProjects
  2. Investigate replacement templates for sub-sectioned pages
  3. Draft replacement page

Assessment tasks

Rolling project overview

edit
  1. Derive categories used for project;
  2. Set up AlexNewArtBot to tag articles (see User:AlexNewArtBot#How to add feeds to the new article bot for more info);
  3. Manually run WP 1.0 bot to update list
  4. Calculate and display proportion using above figures and templates {{asof}} and {{progression}} (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment for example iteration)

Initial aims

edit
  1. All unassessed articles: http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Systems&quality=Unassessed-Class
  2. All unknown-importance articles: http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Systems&importance=Unknown-Class
  3. Choice of Top-importance B-class articles for GA improvement and promotion: http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Systems&importance=Top-Class&quality=B-Class
  4. B-class assessment of Top-importance C-class articles: http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Systems&importance=Top-Class&quality=C-Class

Longer-term aims

edit

N.B: calculation required for current project position vs. model WikiProjects

Modelled from WikiProject Medicine
  1. n% of Top-Class articles at GA or above
  2. 50%? of High-Class articles at B or above
  3. 15%? of Mid-Class articles at B or above
  4. Less than n% of Low-Class articles as stubs

Are there any templates for tying these into WP 1.0 bot? - Use {{progression}} template (see WikiProject Military History for example implementation).

Milestones

edit
Modelled from WikiProject Military history
  1. 10? featured articles
  2. 50? featured pictures
  3. 25? other featured content items
  4. 30? good articles
  5. 15%? of all articles rated B-class or better

User involvement tasks

edit

N.B: are there any bots or tools for this? For instance, this?

  1. Cross-reference participants for activity;
  2. Message all participants;
  3. Move participants inactive on Wikipedia to 'inactive participants' list.

The above has been superseded by the WikiProject directory created under WikiProject X — participant list here.

Which task forces would be recommended? Which task forces would participants want?

  1. Assessment
  2. ?

"Departments" vs. "teams"
