Projects are focused efforts to improve or maintain a specific section of the GuildWiki. You do not need to be member of a project to work on the GuildWiki, nor are project members required to meet any expectations—projects are simply organizational tools to bring order to an otherwise chaotic medium.
Creating a project[]
Anybody can create a project—just make a new article in the GuildWiki namespace titled with the name of your project. For instance, if you wanted to make a project to maintain mesmer skills, you would make the article GuildWars Wikia:Mesmer skills project.
Projects should all include the following sections (preferably in this order):
- Description of project (at top of the page with no section header)
- Participants
- Related projects (if applicable; GuildWars Wikia:Mesmer skills project would list GuildWars Wikia:Monk skills project as related)
- Parent projects (if applicable; GuildWars Wikia:Mesmer skills project would list GuildWars Wikia:Skills project as its parent)
- Child projects (if applicable; GuildWars Wikia:Skills project would list GuildWars Wikia:Mesmer skills project as its child)
Any other information considered helpful for the project can be listed below these sections. The following information is typical:
- A stub template specific to articles that fall under the project
- Links to relevant style and formatting guidelines
- To-do lists
- Templates that might be useful to editors contributing to the project
- A userbox for members of the project
GuildWiki projects should be added to Category:Community projects.
