About the project

 * This project was forum and dedicated to improve topics and articles related to Cartoon Network. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in this field. Generally, we think of it as being the oversight for our specific subject matter and to be the layer between routine editing and the administrative layers of Wikipedia.

Scope

 * The project covers all Cartoon Network related-articles, including the main network in the United States and various other networks internationally, such as their original animated series (including Cartoon Cartoons), productions made by Cartoon Network Studios, the Adult Swim programing block (under the Adult Swim task force), and related media. However, we acknowledge and are grateful for the work of other projects in the field, and will reserve the majority of our attention to that content which does not fall within the scope of other active projects.
 * It does not cover off-network shows, anime series and programming outside Cartoon Network (except Powerpuff Girls Z).
 * It does not extend to programming which is purchased by Cartoon Network to air but has no involvement from them or to programming made by Warner Bros. Animation.
 * It has a strict policy against trivia, "...in popular culture" and otherwise crufty issues, either as sections or whole articles.

Assessment
Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with WikiProject Cartoon Network banner. One of the main tasks of the Cartoon Network WikiProject is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's Cartoon Network-related articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject Cartoon Network project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Cartoon Network articles by quality and Category:Cartoon Network articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed. To find out more, see WikiProject Cartoon Network/Assessment.

Task forces
The Cartoon Network WikiProject has four task forces.
 * Adult Swim task force
 * Aqua Teen Hunger Force task force
 * Ben 10 task force

Checklinks
Checklinks is a tool whih allows editors to verify reflinks and external links for linkrot. We use an automated version to create a list of articles that have issues. The list of articles are available here. The list is updated monthly.

New articles
AlexNewArtBot has been set up to identify new articles that are potentially within the scope of this project, based on the rules defined at User:AlexNewArtBot/Toon. It is likely that some are false positives, in which case the log at User:AlexNewArtBot/ToonLog should be examined for more information.

Watchlist
The WikiProject Cartoon Network maintains a watchlist for all articles tagged as within our scope. The list is like your own watchlist but much larger. It lists every article tagged by us, and may also be helpful if a normal alphabetical list is needed. It is updated automatically by bot, so manual changes are not required.

The watchlist is here. We also have a userbox which links to the recent changes to articles on that page.
