WikiPedia:Transwiki log

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This article is about about the transwiki log. For the definition, see m:Transwiki.

This page is in need of attention to resolve old transwikied articles. It currently has a huge backlog. Please remove this notice once this has been done.

Active Wiki Fixup Projects   edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Template:Active_Wiki_Fixup_Projects&action=edit)
Must be active, systematic, have lists, & need help.
Double redirects - Over 1,100 double redirects have been identified.
Transwiki log cleanup - Help resolve the list of articles that have been transwikied to Wikipedia's sister projects. Dictionary definitions, recipes, how-tos, etc. need to be checked for possible merging or deletion.
Project Punctuation - Fix missing punctuation at the end of paragraphs. (June 18: 30% complete)
Stub sorting - Sort stubs into topical categories so editors can locate and expand stubs on subjects they are interested in. Remove stub notices attached to non-stub articles.
Disambiguation pages with links - A fresh project with thousands of high-profile disambiguations to make.
Untagged images - Put copyright tags on all images lacking them; second run. 1,937 to go.
Image sleuthing - A convivial club investigating the origin and copyright and licence terms for unverified images.


/Archive1 - Note: This archive still contains some unresolved entries, and, as it is quite old, it should probably be addressed first.

/Archive2, /Archive3 - these two archives contain only resolved entries, and exist as a record.

You can help by dealing with the articles listed here as already been transwikied. Follow the instructions below to help out.

This is a log of all articles moved into or out of the English Wikipedia via the Transwiki scheme. If you are completing a transwiki, log which page was moved, and the address it moved to. You should sign your name using ~~~~. If a page listed for transfer was deleted, please record the reason why.

For information about transwiki-ing marked articles and listing them here, further details of the transwiki scheme can be found at m:Transwiki.

Instructions

There are three possible routes for an article after a transwiki. After you have checked any of the following articles and ensured one of these steps has been taken, be sure to mark it by striking through the listing with "<s> </s>" tags and note how it was resolved. There is no voting involved; simply strike out the entry for whatever (valid) reason, note that reason, and your judgement is enough. Additionally, please do not sign resolutions, only new log entries, as the page is long enough as it is, and the signatures are unneeded. For example:

Note: any red links (deleted articles) below should always be crossed out as they have been successfully dealt with.

[edit]

(1.) Send to VfD

Please only strike out an entry after a VfD listing has been resolved, so that the result can be logged here.

After moving an article and its edit history, the article may be submitted for deletion. Submit it to VfD if there is no possible redirect for the article (see route #2) and it has no potential for encyclopedic growth (#3). Follow the normal deletion procedure. You may want to leave the following boilerplate text in place of the original article: The contents of this page and the page's history have been moved to interwiki:Transwiki:Article Name via the transwiki system, all future edits should go there. ~~~~

In the case of Wiktionary, there is a handy template that you can use that combines the {{vfd}} tag with the above boilerplate. Replace the original article with the {{moved to Wiktionary}} tag and then follow the remainder of the instructions for nominating an article for deletion.

[edit]

(2.) Create a redirect

See Wikipedia:Redirect, Wikipedia:Merge, Wikipedia:Duplicate articles

If the information in the article would be more appropriate as part of another article, you can Merge and Redirect. If the information in the article already exists in another article, or if the title of the article could reasonably be considered a useable term by which a user would search for information, you can simply create a Redirect. If the topic is overly specific, and therefore has very little potential for growth, it is preferable to redirect the transwikied article to a more general article.

[edit]

(3.) Expand the article

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page

Of course if the article has an obvious potential for encyclopedic growth, and has a conventional name, then you can help by expanding it!
