The Military history WikiProject's incubator is a temporary host for new groups and initiatives within the project while they gather interest and evolve into more permanent elements of the project's infrastructure.
Starting a new group or initiative
[edit]All project members are encouraged to start new groups and initiatives in their areas of interest. To do so, please follow the instructions below:
- Choose a word or phrase that describes the topic or purpose of your new group. The description should be short and easy to understand, such as "Submarines" or "Amphibious warfare"; please don't use codenames or cryptic phrases.
- In the box below, enter your description in place of "TOPIC", and click the "Create my new group or initiative!" button.
- You will be taken to a page pre-loaded with boilerplate contents and structure; make any changes you need, and click the "Save page" button to finish creating the page.
- Add a link to the new page in the "Current groups and initiatives" section below. This will let other interested editors find it.
Current groups and initiatives
[edit]The following groups and initiatives are currently hosted here:
- Ongoing conflicts
- Rugby union internationals killed in WWI
- War crimes
- Women in warfare and the military
- Prototype Weapons
Graduating from the incubator
[edit]Once a group or initiative has gathered a reasonable number of interested editors and demonstrated a consistent level of activity, it can graduate from the incubator and become a full-fledged task force, special project, or project department. If you think your group is ready to graduate, please contact the project coordinators and request an evaluation; once the coordinators have confirmed that there is enough interest to sustain a more permanent group, they will create any additional infrastructure needed and move your group to its new location within the project.
