    Welcome to the WikiProject Lists, an effort to collaboratively develop Wikipedia's list articles and embedded lists.

    Goals

    Scope

    Tools

    List-friendly search results enhancements

    • SearchSuite.js provides menu items to modify your search results. Some of the features include sort, hide details (listify), and even format your search results for easy copying and pasting into lists, with a click of your mouse. And more.

    Guidelines

    Assessment

    The assessment department gives details of our Quality and Importance statistics. This project will use only FL, List, and Stub for articles. Quality Classes such as Image, Template, Portal, Disambiguation, Category and Project will only be included in order to conform with the predefined Wikipedia:Namespace.

    Currently, this project uses the Version 1.0 Editorial Team bot for article statistics. Therefore, it has become necessary for the project create a Custom mask for Quality class. The Custom mask for WikiProject Lists limits class to FL, List, and Stub for articles, and automatically changes incorrect class codes.

    Article statistics


    After adding our Project template to a talk page, you may run our Assessment bot by clicking Run the bot right away on the bot's User page. Type the word List, then click Submit.

    Articles for creation

    Notable list categories

    Incomplete lists

    Main category: Incomplete lists
    "WP:Incomplete" redirects here and is not to be confused with WP:Work in progress.

    Because of Wikipedia's role as an almanac and a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists, such as the list of U.S. state birds, are complete and unlikely to change for a long time.

    Other lists are missing entries and are called incomplete lists. Incomplete lists should be immediately preceded by the {{Incomplete list}} template, or one of its topic-specific variations.

    To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►":
    Incomplete lists (214 C)

    Dynamic lists

    Main category: Dynamic lists

    Some lists, such as List of numbers, are intentionally inexhaustive, as they are only meant to list notable examples from a given category. These are known as "dynamic lists" and should be preceded by the {{Dynamic list}} template. Some dynamic lists require updates: for example, a list of notable alumni from a given university, or Lists of plants may need to be updated as clades and classifications are debated by botanists.

    To display all pages, subcategories and images click on the "►":
    Dynamic lists (1 C, 10,737 P)

    It is our hope that other Wikipedians will pick up where we leave off, and add more items to the list, bringing it, if not to completion, at least to a mature state in which only minor updates are required as times change. Of course, it's not clear for all lists what should or shouldn't be on them, and completion may never be clear for these lists, but there should at least come a point where most representative and widely agreed upon entries are present.

    2 people Members and userbox

    A list of participants can be found at Category:WikiProject Lists participants.

    To add yourself to the project add the following to your userpage:

    [[Category:WikiProject Lists participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]

    Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add {{User WPLISTS}} or {{User WP Lists}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.
