Wikipedia:WikiProject Portugal

Welcome to WikiProject Portugal, a WikiProject set up to better organize and present information in all articles related to Portugal. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians to improve all Portugal-related articles in order to make Wikipedia an excellent resource for Portugal-related information for all who visit. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices.

Scope and goals
This project is designed to help those interested in improving all of the Portugal-related articles on Wikipedia to find a particular area in which they are interested in working. As "Portugal" is a broad subject, there are many sub-projects and collaborations in which you can participate. We want to:
 * 1) Allow people to more easily locate groups working on Portugal-related WikiProjects
 * 2) Create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Portugal and the Portuguese
 * 3) Expand the number of articles regarding Portugal and Portuguese subjects
 * 4) Further #3 by expanding all Portugal-related article stubs
 * 5) Highlight Portugal's relationship and contributions to the rest of the world
 * 6) Properly source all Portugal-related articles, preferably using the  &lt;ref&gt; element
 * 7) Standardize the style and format of articles on Portugal or Portuguese subjects; and
 * 8) Standardize the use of Portuguese-language terms, names, and translations into English across all related articles, bringing them in line with the WP:MOS-PT.

To-do items
Please "Be Bold!" and help us out. There are plenty of things to do in the lists below, including the creation of brand new articles.

For now, we need to tag every Portuguese article with the WP:PT template. You can find details below.


 * ''For a list of Good and Featured Articles, please see WikiProject Portugal/FAC

Cleanup tasks
These are anything smaller or more specific than projects and anything that individuals can work on.


 * Beira Alta Province

You can also work on files listed on Category:Portugal articles needing attention.

Pages marked for deletion
Portugal-related articles for deletion are listed at WikiProject Deletion sorting/Portugal. Please go and express your opinion regarding any articles listed there.

Redirect requests

 * /Redirect requests (articles needing various redirects created for them)

Stubs
You can find a list of all Portugal-related stub categories on the Category talk:Portugal stubs page. All of the articles on the main Category:Portugal stubs page need to be sorted into these more specific categories while they are stubs (last performed on ). Of course, you can also expand the stubs in such a way as to make them no longer stubs. If none of the existing stubs apply, please use Portugal-stub.

If you want to make a new stub for a particular category, please note that all stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted. See Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories.

Requests
The articles on these pages need to be created (or pointed to existing articles under slightly different names). You can also add requests to one of these pages. If you aren't sure which page to add your request to, please ask on the talk page.


 * Requested articles Portugal (including soccer and literature, as well as anything else related to Portugal)
 * WikiProject Portugal/Portugal-related translation requests
 * Telenovelas
 * /Dead-end Portugal-related pages (a list of pages that need wikifying (links that point to other pages, wiki markup, etc.); find them by browsing here.)
 * /Orphaned Portugal-related pages (a list of pages that do not have any links pointing to them; find them by browsing here.)

There will be a category for requested photographs of Portugal:
 * Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Portugal

Proposed new or updated articles
List any Portugal-related articles on which you are working that aren't quite ready for prime time, or proposed replacements or updates for currently existing articles. This will allow an informal peer review of sorts by anyone interested in the particular topic, thereby helping Wikipedia to become better.


 * Proposed update of : the article was a mess and I tried to Wikify it, I think it would be great if someone who's more knowledgeable about football could make it more complete, since the posting system is a big story in Portuguese football.
