Wikisource:WikiProject

A WikiProject is a collection of pages devoted to co-ordinating long-term tasks on Wikisource.

Before creation

 * 1) Read documentation for established wikiprojects below, Wikiproject DNB has well developed guidelines and related information. Projects also have discussion pages which are used to develop the scope and guides.
 * 2) Read Wikipedia's Wikiproject best practices for tips on creating a WikiProject.
 * 3) Discuss the project on the scriptorium and with other users.
 * 4) Ensure that scope and guidelines comply with those of the Wikisource project.

Tips

 * 1) Create a project to-do list, primarily the addition of new texts. Prepare Indexes for this.
 * 2)  Identify existing pages within the scope of your project. A good way to do this is to maintain lists, from Special:Whatlinkshere etc., of the most important works related to your project.
 * 3) If possible, link to a sample works to give other editors an idea of the project's goals.
 * 4) Texts using scans for side-by-side proofreading is best practice. The preparation and use of djvu Indexes  allows other to quickly and easily contribute to the scope of the project.
 * 5) Keep it simple, with brief instructions that allow users to contribute immediately. Separate complex or detailed discussion from the most frequently used notes and links.

Creation of the project

 * 1) Create the main project page as "Wikisource:WikiProject projectname".
 * 2) Make sure to add the project page to Category:WikiProjects.

Existing WikiProjects
This is a manual list of existing WikiProjects (see also the category). Feel free to join and contribute to ones you find interesting. If a project seems neglected, you can try to encourage increased participation and develop the project further in the collaborative spirit of Wikisource.
