Scope

[edit]

Anything related to Transport in Australia is considered to be under the scope of the project. Anything under Category:Transport in Australia and its subcategories will likely be within the scope of the project. This includes all modes of transport, and not just public transport.


Our goals

[edit]
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of transport in Australia.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Australian transport by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles in a fair and accurate manner.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Australian transport in Wikipedia.
  • To expand and improve existing articles, and bring some to GA or FA status.


To do

[edit]

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

  • Add |transport=yes to {{WikiProject Australia}} on all relevant pages
  • Engage in policy, naming suggestions and article format consistency regarding Australian transport.
    • Adopt a list of reliable sources for Australian transport-related articles.
  • Engage with WikiProject Australia and WikiProject Transport and bring in editors from them.
  • Determine the notability of articles within the project at AfD, and add reliable sources if possible.

I keep an eye out in the news for any events, new projects/organisations etc. that I can add to relevant articles (or create new articles for) on Wikipedia.
