You can award anyone who contributed greatly to the severe weather-related articles by using this template here: ''' Put your message here. ~  or  Put your message here. ~ '''

Newsletter
We have a newsletter, you can see it here.

Format for articles

 * See WikiProject Severe weather/Tornado for the desired article format for tornado outbreaks.


 * Note on units: All quantities should be expressed in both imperial and metric units, regardless of the affected area. The primary measurements used in this project are imperial units, although primary-metric can be used in events that only affect regions that use only the metric system (i.e. Canada, Mexico, most of Europe). For example, to show winds of 50 mph, it should be listed as "50 mph (80 km/h)" in most circumstances. Rounding should be done to reasonable levels.


 * Note on galleries: It is not desirable to have an image gallery in a main article. However, linking to a gallery on Wikimedia commons using Your article is very helpful.  To upload a file to the Commons, click here (you must create/have a commons account to do this).  For instructions on creating a commons gallery, see here.

Infoboxes
(Infoboxes for other events are planned)
 * Infobox weather event provides a template for creating an informative table for any tornado article
 * Infobox weather event/Tornado outbreak provides a subbox for tornado outbreak information
 * Infobox weather event/Tornado provides a subbox for individual tornado information
 * Infobox weather event/Effects provides a subbox for a tally of severe weather event effects
 * Infobox weather event/Footer provides a subbox for closing a weather event infobox

Depreciated Infoboxes
(Pending conversion)
 * Infobox tornado outbreak provides a template for brief information at the top of the page for tornado outbreaks, including the date
 * Infobox tornado provides the same information for events involving a single tornado
 * Infobox storm provides information for extratropical cyclones; can be used for tornado outbreaks caused by an extratropical cyclone

Stub templates

 * Climate-stub and the associated stub category Category:Atmospheric science stubs
 * This template should be added to the end of stub articles which fall under the category of general meteorology or climatology.


 * Climate-bio-stub and the associated stub category Category:Atmospheric scientist stubs
 * This template should be added to the end of stub articles which are biographies of a meteorologist or a climatologist.


 * Weather-stub and the associated stub category Category:Weather event stubs
 * This template should be added only to the end of stub articles which describe a specific historical weather event.

Data templates

 * Tornado Chart for tornado events to show the number of tornadoes produced and their intensity
 * Tornado chart small, same as above, but much smaller. Mainly for Tornado year pages.

Current weather templates

 * Current disaster for ongoing storm events. Should be used for Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado Watch when conditions are very dangerous (usually, but not always, a PDS watch).

Talk page template

 * should appear on the top of the talk page of every article covered by this project.

Subpages

 * List of.
