Wikipedia:Community portal/Open tasks

The Community portal on Wikipedia serves as a central hub for editors to find collaborative projects, discussions, and tasks that need attention. One of the key sections within the Community portal is the Open tasks page, which lists various tasks that volunteers can help with to improve the encyclopedia.

Types of Open Tasks[edit | edit source]

The Open tasks page is divided into several categories to help editors find tasks that match their interests and expertise. These categories include:

  • Articles for creation: This section lists articles that have been submitted by new users and need review by experienced editors before they can be published.
  • Cleanup: Articles that require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards are listed here. This can include tasks such as fixing formatting issues, improving grammar, and adding references.
  • Requested articles: This section contains a list of topics that readers and editors have requested articles about. Volunteers can choose a topic from this list and create a new article.
  • Stub sorting: Stubs are short articles that need expansion. This section helps editors find stubs that they can expand into more comprehensive articles.
  • WikiProjects: These are collaborative projects focused on specific topics or areas of interest. Editors can join a WikiProject to work on related articles and tasks.

How to Get Involved[edit | edit source]

To get involved with open tasks, editors can visit the Community portal and navigate to the Open tasks page. From there, they can choose a task that interests them and start contributing. Some tasks may require specific skills or knowledge, while others are suitable for beginners.
