Category talk:Articles that need to be wikified

This talk page is used for discussion about the category. Any queries regarding wikifying articles or the wikification drive can be posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikify. The archived pages here relate mainly to the wikification drive prior to WikiProject Wikify being established.

Linking to WikiProject Wikify

Instead of having a guide on how to Wikify the pages, could we just link to WikiProject Wikify instead, where the steps to Wikifying the pages are more in-depth? If there's no response in the next twenty-four hours I'll just change it and see what happens. Voyaging (talk) 05:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Support. The explanatory information seems to be a remnant of when this category page was the collaborative hub of the wikification drive, before the WikiProject started up. Some of the discussions on this talk page should probably be archived as well, namely those posted prior to the WikiProject being set up.

Talk page archived. I've added an explanatory note above. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 06:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Categorization

Since Wikification is a kind of cleanup, I added this category to Category:Wikipedia cleanup categories. If you disagree, feel free to revert. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Amounts on Sub Catogories

Where has the total amounts gone on each month that tells you how many pages are to be wikified? Katsp8 (talk) 18:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Date autoformatting is no longer encouraged

It's true. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Date_autoformatting. Editors should consider the disadvantages of applying MediaWiki's autoformatting before doing so. The alternative is to remove it from an article where it is applied inconsistently. TONY (talk) 03:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

backlog?

this doesn't seem to belong in the backlog category, as it's not 1 year or 10,000 articles backlogged? --Dak (talk) 20:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, I see no articles at all here. -- Laura S | talk to me 13:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

They are in the sub-categories. Rich Farmbrough, 19:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC).

The main problem with the list

It is a total mixture of topics - when most of us are interested in particular areas (and do not have the inclination to trawl through several thousand entries for things we wish to take on). Jackiespeel (talk) 17:27, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (just because it's empty now, that doesn't mean it always will be...better to save it than have to recreate it later) --WQUlrich (talk) 19:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
