Welcome to the Indie Task Force! We are a group of editors dedicated to improving the quality of indie game articles in general. The project covers independent developers and games made by them.

Scope

The Indie Task Force covers articles about:

• Concepts related to independent game development, such as independent video game development and Independent Games Festival.
• People and companies involved in independent game development, including Jonathan Blow and Wolfire Games.
• Games developed by independent game developers.

Because of the nature of self-publishing for independent games, it is expected that articles under this project meet the general notability guideline, requiring coverage from secondary sources on the developers or game titles. In particular, for games, it is expected that there is critical reception about the game from sources outlined in WikiProject Video Game Sources list.

Participants

Anyone can join the Indie Task Force. Just add {{User ITF}} to your user page, and your name will automatically be added to Category:Indie Task Force participants.

This is a list of Wikipedia members active in the task force, who have edited an article at least once within the last six months. If you want to join, simply add yourself to the roster by signing the bottom of the list with three tildes (~~~).
