List of participants
(Enter yourself at the bottom of the list by following the sign-up instructions.)

Sign-up instructions
Follow these instructions to sign up to participate in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants Stub-to-start Drive. Your entry will include a bullet point, your signature, and what you plan to upgrade. The purpose of listing what we are working on is to avoid bumping into each other (although, with over 61,000 plants stub articles as of October 2024, there is a statistically small chance that will happen).

  1. Log in to your account.[a]
  2. On a new line at the bottom of the list, type an asterisk (*) to create a bullet point.
  3. Enter ~~~~ to add your signature with date and time stamp.
  4. Enter an {{ndash}}.
  5. Still on the same line, enter the articles you plan to upgrade.[b]
    → To upgrade certain species articles:
    * ~~~~ {{ndash}} ''[[GENUS SPECIES]]''
    → To upgrade species articles within a genus:
    * ~~~~ {{ndash}} ''[[GENUS]]''
    → To upgrade species articles within a small subtribe:
    * ~~~~ {{ndash}} [[SUBTRIBE]]
    • If you wish to upgrade an article or work in a taxon that has already been added to the list, you can contact the user and decide who will do what, or you can choose another species or genus.
    • If you wish for a coordinator to assign you articles, place {{ndash}} request NUMBEROF article(s) or {{ndash}} request genus [or NUMBEROF genera] after your signature, and the links to the articles will be added here with a message to you on your user talk page.
  6. Publish your edits.

Changing your article list
You can change the list of articles assigned to you by doing either (or both) of the following:

  • Adding more articles next to your name;
  • Deleting any articles next to your name as long as you have not yet upgraded them.

Do not remove articles that you have upgraded. Do not add a check mark or the word or template "Done". That's not necessary here, but feel free to keep your own list if you wish. It also can be helpful if you enter the articles you upgrade on the Statistics page as you finish them, because we don't have a good way of automatically tracking those (yet).

Ending your participation
To end your participation in the drive, do one of the following:

  • If you have not upgraded any articles, simply remove the entire line with your signature.
  • If you have upgraded articles, do not remove the line with your signature. Instead, replace the what you had planned to upgrade with the what you did upgrade.

Notes

  1. ^ You are not required to have a username or to log in to edit Wikipedia. However, because the drive will work best with open communication on talk pages, it is recommended. If you have not yet created an account, see the Wikipedia Help topic Creating an account for instructions.
  2. ^ Enter the names of the species, genus (genera), or small subtribe(s), Wikilinked and italicized (if appropriate), of the Stub-class species articles you plan to upgrade.
