Starting a Project

Do you have a WikiProject you would like to start? Just post a message on the Project portal talk page your ideas. One of the administrators will contact you and offer advice and support to get your WikiProject under way. Just in case you need a few ideas for other needed WikiProjects:

  • Welcoming committee - say hello and get new users off to a good start and help answer common questions.
  • Link rot patrol - keep the external links on the ISOGG Wiki valid and up-to-date.
  • Categorization - make sure pages are categorized correctly, remind authors to categorize new pages if they forget.
  • Be a 'Newbie' - think like a 'Newbie' to genetic genealogy and help identify more articles aimed specifically at those new to genetic genealogy.
  • FAQs - Common articles for common questions the genetic genealogist might have.
  • Events - help keep track of upcoming genetic genealogy events, keep the Events page up-to-date and create new individual event pages.
