Welcome to WikiProject Agriculture. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Agriculture and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.


Goals

  • Generally improve the standard and factual accuracy in articles, particularly regarding POV in animal husbandry.
  • Reclaim credibility by stripping down articles to facts about the topics.

Scope

Agriculture can be divided into a few large groups:

Crop Production

Livestock Production

Aquaculture

Milk Production (Dairy)

Forest Products and Forest management

Mechanical

(New section? Same section but call it "Equipment" or something?)

Ag. Support Products

Diseases & Pests

  • In Crops
  • In Livestock

Ag. Support Organizations

Governmental Bodies and NGO's

Guidelines

For an article regarding a species, include a {{taxobox}} but for the individual breeds/cultivars include a breed box or cultivar box if one is available. Cultivar boxes are found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Cultivar infobox

Open tasks

Participants

New articles

Please feel free to list your new Agriculture-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.

Project Banner

If you find an article that falls under the scope of this project, feel free to add this banner to the top of its talk page by typing {{WPFarm}}, which will produce the following:

Stub Template

For stubs, always use:

This tag should be placed at the bottom of the article page (below any categories and templates other than other stub templates). This is in addition to assessing the article as "|class = stub" on the the talk page. If the article is already tagged with {{stub}} replace it with one of the above tags but leave any other appropriate topic specific stub templates.

Category:Cattle stubs, Category:Horse stubs and Category:Sheep stubs now have dual-parentage, they feed into both Category:Mammal stubs (or Category:Even-toed ungulate stubs) and Category:Livestock stubs, there is no need to list any other Category:Biology or Category:Agriculture stubs if you use one of these stub tags. On the other hand, the tags below do not feed into Agriculture categories, do not use these tags in place of an Agriculture stub template above, rather use them together with an Agriculture stub template.

For Birds

For Mammals

For Plants

Also: {{plant-disease-stub}} and very generally {{botany-stub}}, if needed.

Tag with all appropriate non-duplicative stub templates (e.g. don't tag with both {{Legume-stub}} and {{Faboideae-stub}} - only use the more specific {{Faboideae-stub}} if it applies), as these assist other editors in searching for stubs in topics they are interested in working on and may assist other projects in finding stubs related to their subject area (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Botany in the case of plants). Additionally, some of these stubs may eventually feed into Agriculture as additional stubs, it will be easier if they are already tagged.

Other

There is also {{Veterinary-med-stub}}

Infoboxes

Livestock and Poultry

We need suggestions for an infobox probably something like {{Infobox Horse}}; see ongoing work at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Agriculture/Infobox.

Cultivars

Use the format at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Cultivar infobox

Other

{{Cereals}} produces


{{Apples}} produces


{{USDA agencies}} produces
