Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Batman work group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Batman work group of the Comics WikiProject! The Batman work group is a collaboration dedicated to building a comprehensive and detailed guide to articles about or related to Batman on Wikipedia.

Goals

[edit]
  • To standardize the film/television articles related to Batman in Wikipedia.
  • To improve Wikipedia coverage of Batman by adding, expanding and improving related articles.
  • To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Batman articles.

Scope

[edit]

This work group aims to define a standard of consistency for articles about and/or related to Batman, and the characters, publications, fictional locales, storylines, and creators of these comics, and appearances of same in other media. (including categories and templates about Batman). It also aims to encourage and provide the structure for enhancing the writing of high quality articles. This project does include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers, but relies on WikiProject Biography as the proper scope.

Templates

[edit]
  • Talk page header
    This template should be added to the talk pages of relevant articles. (adjust to suit):
  • {{Comicsproj
  • |class=stub
  • |importance=low
  • |Batman-work-group=yes}}
  • The WikiProject Comics project banner template allows certain tags which will categorise articles as in need of cleanup:
  • {{comicsproj|infobox=yes}} will tag the article as requiring an infobox.
  • {{comicsproj|image=yes}} will tag the article as requiring an image.
  • {{comicsproj|attention=yes}} will tag the article as requiring attention. Reasons for the attention include:
  • Articles needing wikifying
  • Articles in need of expert attention
  • Articles whose content or neutrality is disputed
  • Articles that lack references
