Wikipedia:WikiProject Role-playing games
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to tabletop role-playing games. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or look at the goals section on this page to see what the focus is at the moment.

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

Scope
This project aims to improve the coverage and quality of articles on role-playing games (RPGs). The main areas of interest are Games, Terms, Systems, Designers and Publishers.

The project covers traditional, live action and computer-assisted RPGs. A more specific project, WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons, exists for articles related only to Dungeons & Dragons.

Role-playing video games are outside the scope of this project; they belong at WikiProject VG. An exception to this would be video games based on specific role-playing games, such as those found in Category:Video games based on tabletop role-playing games; such articles fall under the scope of both WikiProject Video Games, and WikiProject Role-playing games.

Roleplay simulations (and similar "gamed simulations") are also outside the scope of this project.

For projects with a more general scope, see WikiProject Board and table games or WikiProject Games.

Goals
The following are long-term goals for what the project can work towards. All goals should be clearly defined and ultimately achievable. An archive of previous goals - both reached and unreached - can be found on the old Goals subpage.


 * 1) Add an infobox with an appropriate image to all role-playing game articles.
 * 2) Collaborate with other interested users on role-playing game topics.
 * 3) Find as many reliable secondary sources as possible to improve existing articles and help demonstrate the notability of topics.
 * 4) Flesh out the stubs at Category:Role-playing game stubs to build full articles.
 * 5) Improve more role-playing game articles to Good article and Featured article status.
 * 6) Create new articles and restore deleted articles for notable role-playing game topics.
 * 7) Play some role-playing games!

Style
Discussions on style and structure of role-playing game and RPG-related articles were previously held on the old Style subpage, but if desired can now be held on the WikiProject's talk page.

Articles should follow, as closely as is possible, the guidance at the Manual of Style.

References should be added using  tags throughout the body of the article, next to the facts that they are included to support. Where possible, they should use the available standard reference templates.
