General

 * Tag articles with project banner: Template:WikiProject Triathlon
 * This has largely been done now by a bot - see listings of articles within this project's scope at Category:Triathlon articles by quality. Continue to add the banner to newly created and any stray articles you come across.
 * Assessment - A very quick assessment has been performed on all articles using the WP:Version 1.0 criteria. See below for assessment instructions.
 * Triathlon - aim to bring this article up to WP:GA - see (soon to be started) discussion on its talk page.
 * Paratriathlon - expand the article - It lacks a section on notable events and championships.
 * I've asked others in the ITU Paratriathlon Athletes Facebook group (includes most people competing on the international paratriathlon circuit) what they think should be included in the article. Sportygeek (talk) 14:37, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Athletes

 * Standardise/tidy biography infobox
 * Add infobox to athlete articles
 * Concentrate on world champions as they are most notable. Handy list here: User:NSH001/triathletes
 * Still plenty of redlinkers here. Strongly recommended that new articles should be written under the WP:DYK process, as this
 * raises the profile of triathlon articles (they get 6 hours linked from the Main Page)
 * ensures a minimum quality (they have to be at least Start-class to pass DYK - see Emma Carney for a recent example)
 * Triathlete biography articles should satisfy WP:BIOG and MOS:BIO. See WP:BTIP for general tips, and WikiProject Biography/Sports and games for specific advice.
 * Other-language Wikipedias can provide useful pointers to source of info, and provide a valuable check.

ITU Championships

 * Plan content and layout for article series
 * Build templates as necessary to allow standard content and layouts to be applied
 * Populate pages - start with most recent, using already completed pages as a guideline

WTC Championships

 * See discussion on project talkpage: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Triathlon/Archives/2014
 * Write articles for the more notable Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races
 * note that the German wiki has a useful series of articles on these (amongst others), see de:Kategorie:Triathlonwettbewerb

Assessment
Any member of WikiProject Triathlon may assess Sports-related articles by following the guidelines below. If you aren't sure about an article, ask about it on the assessment page.

The WikiProject Triathlon template has a class= and an importance= parameter which provide an article assessment and importance rating for each article:



The following values may be used for the class parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:
 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Triathlon articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Triathlon articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Triathlon articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Triathlon articles)
 * C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Triathlon articles)
 * List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Triathlon articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Triathlon articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Triathlon articles)
 * NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to Category:NA-Class Triathlon articles)

If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed Triathlon articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at WikiProject Triathlon/Assessment.

The importance parameter is not currently in use for this WikiProject, and can be left blank in all banners.
