Message from WikiProject Children's literature
I have recently proposed some extensive changes to the layout of project pages in WikiProject Children's literature. The changes can be viewed in my sandbox, and are summarised on this talk page. The proposed changes include major reformatting of the main project page, the creation of five new project sub-pages, and moves to two existing sub-pages. Please look over these proposals, and join the discussion. strdst_grl  (call me Stardust) 10:40, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Categories
The following list of categories is intended as a guide for tagging articles for WP:YA. The original list was derived from Category:Category-Class children and young adult literature articles. All project-specific cateogries have been removed, and the list is sotred into cateogries whose articles definitely belong to the project (and could therefore be bot-tagged) and those requiring deeper investigation.

Definite
The following list of categories should, assuming that the articles within them are categorised correctly, contain only articles belonging to WikiProject Children's Literature. This list can also be found at /categories:
