Very cool
Wow, I really like this. It's a non-bitey way to get new users to know our policies, and it would slow down vandalism a little bit and lessen the admin workload if it were made official. Is there any way to do what Lucasbfr suggested and make this what non-autoconfirmed users see when they try to create an article? If this happened, I don't think I would be against letting anons create pages anymore. Grand master  ka  02:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It can be put on a message that people see when they try to create an article. However, the edit window will still be below it. AFAIK, there is no way to make it mandatory for any user group without a software change (bug Gmaxwell about that). Also, it still needs some work. You can see some other categories that are not yet done. These should be done in the same format as the others. I've also talked with User:FT2 about this and he suggested it be split into more pages with less text, that might be done in the future. Now that anon page creation is not imminent, there is less of a rush and more time to work. Mr.  Z- man  02:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

suggested sectioning
This is really good, can I suggest be added to the list as there are always going to be new ones of these added and many are by new editors. Gnangarra 13:07, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A Band or Group
 * An Album
 * A game
 * A movie

This is great! ... How can I help?
This is great! This is exactly what I was trying to get at with this suggestion. We should definitely find room for a link to this in the new article text. I think we could do more to point people at infoboxes and suggested sections. I guess that's covered in the relevant WikiProject, but it's worth making more obvious. I think we need to do one for: schools, bands, and fictional characters. How can I help? Bovlb (talk) 00:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing we could include is pointers to the specific and general naming conventions. (Yes, I saw the text in the creation input box.) Bovlb (talk) 00:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion: article-naming wizard
I did not know of this page (Article wizard) until I discovered it today, but it reminded me of a suggestion which I made in January 2008. The suggestion is explained at User talk:Wavelength.) Please respond to this message on this project talk page.  I intend to have it watchlisted for at least six months. -- Wavelength (talk) 05:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC) The suggestion is now archived (since 12:40, 29 September 2008) at User talk:Wavelength/Archive 1. -- Wavelength (talk) 01:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

The "place" template doesn't exist
When selecting "place", the "Create article!" button actually uses the "company" values &mdash; which may be a good thing, since the "place" ones don't exist! --Tardis (talk) 15:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Good idea, but please complete this
Can we please complete this? I think it's a good idea. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:19, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have massive amounts of some spare time? They all follow a pretty basic pattern. See Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Article wizard. Mr.Z-man 01:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * See Article wizard2.0 and WP:VPT. Rd232 talk 14:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Has the 2.0 completely replaced this one? If so, this should be indicated in the mainspace. Currently 2.0 is just a "see also". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 03:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I marked this page as historical. Probably the wrong tag, but the only one I can think of. I also moved the link to 2.0 above, right below the historical tag. Ikip 20:09, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Page moves
As Article wizard 2.0 is now the main article wizard and this one is not used, I propose to move this wizard and its 13 subpages to Article wizard/old to make way for Article wizard 2.0 to move here. If there are any concerns about this or any alternative suggestions for the new name of this wizard, please post at Wikipedia talk:Article wizard 2.0.
