This page is part of the WikiProject on Water polo and lists ways you can help clean up articles related to water polo which have been tagged as requiring attention.
Create articles
[edit]Articles that need creating to fill redlinks are listed at Wikipedia:Most wanted articles.
Articles whose creation has been requested by other users are listed at Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports#Water polo.
You can help by creating a requested article from either of the lists above.
Expand articles
[edit]Articles requiring expansion (stubs) are listed in Category:Water polo stubs. They are placed there by a variety of stub templates as listed on the category page.
You can help by choosing an article in that category and expanding it, removing the stub template and re-assessing the article.
Fix dead links
[edit]Over time, links used as references on pages become inactive (see WP:LINKROT). These links sometimes display the [dead link] notice. To fix links, you can use WayBack Machine [1], enter the original url and try to find an archived link. Once successful, you can add |archiveurl=|archivedate= inside the citation tag and remove the {{dead link}} tag. To check the status of any particular Wikipedia page, you can use the Checklinks tool [2].
Assess articles
[edit]Articles are assessed using the criteria at Water polo work group/Assessment, you can use this criteria to change the assessment rating of any article covered by this project. You can also fulfill requests by other users to re-assess certain articles as listed at Requests for assessment.
You can also give advice to others who have put their articles up for Peer review or as a Featured Article candidate. Articles undergoing these processes are listed at Articles currently under a review.
Project tagging
[edit]Articles related to water polo that fall into the scope of this project should be add {{WikiProject Water polo|class=|importance=}} to the talk page. This helps identify articles for water polo work group members to work on and helps us manage the thousands of articles that the project helps oversee.
