Suggestions for new projects[edit]

1. Read Wikiproject Best practices for tips on leading a WikiProject.
2. Create the main project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject projectname. (See Starting a new page)
3. Create an outline on your project page:
   • Add {{subst:WikiProject|projectname}} into your main project page and save. (See m:Help:Template for details.)
4. Identify pages within the scope of your project:
   • A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
   • You will probably want to save a copy of the list on a project status subpage.
5. Create a project to-do list to focus and coordinate your collaborative efforts.
6. If possible, link to a sample article to give other Wikipedians a feel for the project's goals.
7. Advertise!
   • Create a project notice template, and insert it at the top of the talk page of related articles.
