This page has tools for finding, assessing, and improving articles within the scope of WP:LGBTQ+.


Working with new articles

[edit]

Creating articles

[edit]

Creating an article requires research to determine if there is significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. See WP:Notability, including the general notability guideline, for more information. The WP:Articles for creation process is recommended for editors new to article creation.

There are several possible sources for new article subjects.

Project-tagging

[edit]

Newly created articles that deal with LGBTQ+ topics should have the WP:LGBTQ+ project banner added to the talk page. If you are unsure whether an article should be added to the project, raise it for discussion at WT:LGBTQ+.

Improving navigation

[edit]

There are several ways to make it easier for readers to find new articles.

  • New articles should be placed in appropriate LGBTQ categories, to group related topics together. See WP:CAT for more. WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS provide important guidance on categorizing articles about people.
  • Navigational templates for LGBTQ topics can be added to articles, creating links between all articles with the template.
  • New and expanded articles can be submitted to WP:Did you know, and if selected will be featured on the Main Page.

Assessing articles

[edit]

Assessing article quality helps WP:LGBTQ+ members to recognize excellent contributions and identify topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

Improving articles

[edit]

There are several ways to find articles for improvement.

If you have worked to bring an article into good shape and want feedback on further improvements, you can request a peer review.

Watching articles

[edit]

You can help maintain the quality of LGBTQ+ content on Wikipedia by reviewing recent edits and joining active discussions.
