WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design and its various components. This page and its subpages contain a lot of suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help on occasions, see the to-do list there. On 1 November 2014 Mareklug talk was elected for one year to coordinate it.

Background, scope and goals
WikiProject Industrial design should be a descendent project of both WikiProject Visual arts (as is WikiProject WikiProject Graphic design among others) and, of WikiProject Technology (as is WikiProject Electronics among others). It will then have the value of uncluttering those other projects... It was born around Christmas 2009 (through Alainr345).
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to provide readers of Wikipedia a clear and consistent reference for Industrial design and its various components. Topics covered by this WikiProject include some, but not all, subcategories of the Category:Industrial design articles (in addition to all articles of that main category):
- Category:Industrial design awards (all articles);
- Category:Industrial design firms (all articles);
- Category:Product design (all articles);
- Category:Computer-aided design (all articles but no subcategories);
- Category:Industrial designers (all articles and all subcategories, except below);
- Category:Cycle designers (selected articles);
- Category:Textile designers (selected articles);
- not Category:Automobile designers (nor its subcategories);
- not Category:Motorcycle designers (nor its subcategories);
- not Category:Consumer goods (nor its subcategories, except below);
- Category:Furniture (selected articles);
- Category:Consumer electronics (to be evaluated);
- Category:Sports equipment (to be evaluated).
The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive guide to Industrial design-related articles on Wikipedia.
Current goals
"List/Tag/Assess/Write/Maintain", that's our motto here!...
- List:
- Identify all existing Wikipedia Industrial design-related articles (with Category:Industrial design or a subcategory).
- List Industrial design topics not already covered in Wikipedia articles. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial design/List_of_article_requests)
- Expand and format the list of articles accordingly. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial design/List_of_articles)
- Tag:
- Put the project banner {{WikiProject Industrial design}} on Industrial design related articles' talk page to make editors aware of the existence of this project.
- Tag the relevant articles with the {{Portal|Industrial design|Design_portal_logo.jpg}} template.
- Assess:
- Assess (or reassess) unassessed articles. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial design/Assessment)
- Increase article quality towards Start, C, B, A, GA or FA status according to their importance level.
- Write:
- Write the listed redlink articles. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial design/List_of_article_requests)
- Put an Infobox like {{Designer Infobox}} in articles where applicable.
- Monitor articles
- Recent changes in articles related to Industrial design
Structure and participants
With the current limited number of participants, we do not seem to need a structure yet - everybody is equal here.
To add yourself to this WikiProject, put the Industrial design userbox that will look something like this in your userpage by typing: {{Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial_design/Userbox}}
This user is member of WikiProject Industrial design |
...or the colorful updated version for 2014:
{{User WikiProject Industrial design version 2014}}

Things to keep in mind
There are a few things that you should try to keep in mind while editing Industrial design articles.
Audience
One of the primary goals of this project is to make Industrial design articles accessible, so you should make an effort to explain any jargon.
Conventions
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Manual of style (computer science) is a draft manual of style that can be used for Industrial design articles.
- Wikipedia:Algorithms on Wikipedia contains hints on providing good sample implementations of algorithms
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style (mathematics)#Typesetting of mathematical formulas describes how to typeset mathematical expressions
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style (command-line examples) describes how sample shell commands should be formatted
References
Try to ensure that every Industrial design article includes at least a few relevant references, and direct citations for anything that could be considered controversial. Wikipedia articles cannot be a substitute for a textbook (that is what Wikibooks is for), and references can give readers some idea of where they should go if they need more information than the article can provide. Just as important, providing further reading enables other editors to verify and to extend the given information, as well as to discuss the quality of a particular source.
