Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Friends task force
Welcome to the main page of the Friends WikiProject. The project launched on October 31, 2007. Currently, we have -2 active members. The WikiProject is a sub-project of the Comedy WikiProject and the Television WikiProject. Please see the discussion page for information on various project-related collaborations.
The Friends WikiProject was formed to foster the creation and encyclopedic improvement of Friends-related articles, and to establish guidelines for those articles. Its members endeavor to produce a succinct, comprehensive, general, and authoritative reference on Friends materials. Additionally, the WikiProject works to ensure that all related articles attain the standards set by WP:FICT and WP:WAF. In order to reach these standards, the WikiProject discourages extreme details and encourages an out-of-universe perspective for all prose (excluding concise plot summaries). The ultimate goal of the project is to have every article within its scope be at featured status. To participate, simply add your name to the participants section. If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns about the project, feel free to visit our talk page.
