This WikiProject is a community of Wikipedians who share an interest in extreme sports and who wish to improve the general quality and accessibility of Wikipedia's extreme sports articles. It is an effort to coordinate the work of Wikipedians who are knowledgeable about extreme sports, to minimize the frequent damage done to extreme sports articles, and to improve the quality and range of articles on extreme sports.
The world of Extreme Sports is characterized by enormous amounts of individualism, talent, and courage. However, it is sometimes besieged by the media as something that only "rowdy teenagers" do. Here on Wikipedia, we want to set the example for the rest of the media world by writing and maintaining only the highest quality articles. It is likely that our participants will be younger than participants in other Wikiprojects, and may be more technologically savvy. We commit to using the unique talents of all our contributors to produce Gold Standard articles.
Scope and Goals

The goals of this WikiProject are:

Standards and practices
[edit]General practices
[edit]
Extreme Sports articles should have the {{WikiProject Extreme sports}} template placed at the top of their talk page.
Extreme Sports articles should be categorised as such. (Add [[Category:Extreme sports]] to the bottom of the page)
Discuss adding more general practices.
Readability
[edit]Must be clearly legible by members of the public, this means that we can't really use our own lingo like 'fakie zerospin souls', because they won't have a clue what we're on about.
Open Tasks
[edit]Just add any tasks you think worth doing to the Extreme Sports Task List.
Add BASE Skiing
Custom Templates
[edit]Task Box
[edit]
Extreme Sports Tasks: Clean up Rock Climbing |
This list will be regularly updated by volunteers with pages that need attention.
Project pages
[edit]Putting {{WikiProject Extreme sports}} at the top of a page will add this notice to it:
| Extreme sports (inactive) | |||
| ||||
This message should be placed on talk pages of relevant articles.
Stubs
[edit]We need a stub tag to be made...
