WikiMD:WikiProject Stub sorting is a collaborative effort within the WikiMD community aimed at improving the organization and categorization of stub articles related to medical topics. This project is part of the larger WikiProject Medicine, which focuses on creating and maintaining high-quality medical content on WikiMD.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The primary goal of WikiMD:WikiProject Stub sorting is to ensure that stub articles, which are short or incomplete entries, are properly tagged and categorized. This helps editors identify articles that need expansion and improvement, facilitating the growth of comprehensive medical content on the platform.
Objectives[edit | edit source]
The objectives of the project include:
- Identification of Stubs: Recognizing articles that qualify as stubs and tagging them appropriately with the {{stub}} template.
- Categorization: Assigning stubs to the correct or more specific subcategories, such as or.
- Expansion: Encouraging editors to expand stub articles by adding reliable sources, detailed information, and relevant images.
- Quality Control: Ensuring that stub articles meet the basic standards of verifiability and neutrality as outlined in WikiMD:Manual of Style.
Participation[edit | edit source]
Editors interested in participating in WikiMD:WikiProject Stub sorting can join by adding their names to the WikiMD:WikiProject Stub sorting/Participants page. Participants are encouraged to:
- Regularly review the Special:ShortPages and Special:NewPages to identify new stubs.
- Use the {{stub}} template to mark articles as stubs.
- Contribute to discussions on the WikiMD talk:WikiProject Stub sorting page to share ideas and strategies for improving stub articles.
Guidelines[edit | edit source]
The following guidelines are recommended for editors working on stub sorting:
- Use Specific Templates: Whenever possible, use specific stub templates, such as {{cardiology-stub}} or {{oncology-stub}}, to provide more precise categorization.
- Avoid Over-Tagging: Do not tag articles as stubs if they already contain substantial content and references.
- Collaborate: Work with other editors to expand stubs, especially those that are frequently viewed or cover important medical topics.
