From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are all subpages of this page that are used to track the progress of some of the "to do" given below. If the task number is linked it would be to these pages.

To Do

These are the things that need to be done to improve the document, create new items to support the categorization scheme process, or change items to work toward implementing the categorization process and scheme. Each finished item will be cut and pasted into the archived version of this page. This is a community based list of things to do. Please help by providing feedback, asking questions, doing some of these things, or suggesting additional action items. Pknkly (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since the primary purpose is to document the process the other activities will be under the "adjunct" activity. These are important to finish, but in some cases getting started will provide a "proof of concept" so that the instructions within the document can be tested. These "adjunct" action items may turn into long term action items once the document comes out of development. Pknkly (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Firm up section on CHIBOTCATS - T09092900

[edit]

Start 2009-09-29 Finished yyyy-mm-dd Confirm understanding and narrative within the section on CHIBOTCATS. This is tied in with Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chicago/Categories#Cease PSCs designation and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chicago/Categories#Understanding of CHIBOTCATS. Pknkly (talk) 11:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Think about using navigation box for subarticles - T09110400

[edit]

Start yyyy-mm-dd Finished yyyy-mm-dd As of today there are at least two subarticles and another will need to be shortly created in order to avoide exceeding the size of the main article page. Therefore, think about Wikipedia:Navigation templates to support the use of the subarticles. Pknkly (talk) 03:32, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adjunct activity

[edit]

Action items for implementing or testing categorization scheme described within the document.

Rework Importance Scale = Task2009092800

[edit]

Start 2009-09-28 Finished yyyy=mm=dd Rework existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Importance Scale as was done with Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Quality Scale (see #High level Chicago Project admin category]]. Pknkly (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Affirm all WikiProject Chicago project pages conform to categorization scheme - Task2009092810

[edit]

Start 2009-09-28 Finished yyyy-mm-dd For each subpage for WP:WikiProject Chicago make sure each talk page is tagged with the Chicago Banner and the basic page has at least the Category:WikiProject Chicago category declaration. See #Use of "noinclude" for category declarations discussion. Pknkly (talk) 01:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need a tracking page for this. Pknkly (talk) 05:52, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sync CHIBOTCATS with WPCHI content category - Task2009101100

[edit]

Start 2009-10-11 Finished yyyy-mm-dd Assign all the categories within wp:CHIBOTCATS the Category:WikiProject Chicago content categories. Once this is done, the content of Category:WikiProject Chicago content categories would be a subset of CHIBOTCATS and a distinguished subcategory of Category:Category-Class Chicago articles. The instructions instruction for the readers/editors needs to be changed. Pknkly (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About 8% done. Gives an idea of what the category would accomplish - show all the content categories that editors can use for their articles. Its a navigation tool and maybe a tool used by bots. Pknkly (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Develop Chicago Project tracking category template - Task2009092815

[edit]

Start 2009-09-28 Finished yyyy-mm-dd Complete, document use, and use a template:WikiProject Chicago tracking category. The development is at User:Pknkly/TempWork02. Unless there is a way to add additional narrative, these may have to always be substituted instead of transcluded. Pknkly (talk) 01:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Develop Chicago Project content category template - Task2009092815

[edit]

Start 2009-10-13-30 Finished yyyy-mm-dd Review list created by Xeno that contains categories within Category:Category-Class Chicago articles but not within CHIBOTCATS. Remove the Chicago banner if it is out of scope or include the category within CHIBOTCATS if it is in scope. This will get us closer to seeing if obtaining CHIBOTCATS via Category:Category-Class Chicago articles makes sense. Progress tracked at Task2009101330.

[edit]

Start yyyy-mm-dd Finished yyyy-mm-dd If it should prove to be beneficial, request that new category pages come up with either a content or project cmbox with basic instructions and format.

Pknkly (talk) 05:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plan to first have the manual processes documented and used and then move forward with the above request. Pknkly (talk) 05:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
