For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide|Guide to WikiProjects]].

===Review===
The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Earthquakes/Review|review department]] of the Earthquakes WikiProject is the project's main forum for conducting detailed reviews—both formal and informal—of particular articles and other content within its scope.

===Assessment===
In order to easily identify articles in need of attention, [[/Assessment|the assessment department]] have been implemented. These are generated using the optional ''class'' and ''importance'' parameters in the {{tl|WP Earthquakes}} project banner on an article's talk page:

Add articles to the scope by adding <nowiki>{{WikiProject Earthquakes|class=|importance=}}</nowiki> and fill in the parameters.

===Portal===
The [[Portal:Earthquakes|portal department]] attempts to serve as a nexus for all Earthquakes-related Wikipedia materials.
