Projects/Intro
From ISOGG Wiki
< Portal:Projects
A WikiProject is a group of editors (users) that want to work together as a team to improve the ISOGG Wiki. These groups often focus on a specific topic area (for example, Autosomal DNA) or a specific kind of task (for example, checking newly created pages, uploading images, or fixing external links).
A WikiProject's pages can be used for writing articles or a series of articles directly, but can also help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. WikiProjects often write advice for editors, track what is of interest to the group, and create lists of tools and templates their members commonly use. The discussion pages attached to a project page are a convenient forum for those involved in that project to talk about what they are doing, to ask questions, and to receive advice from other people interested in the group's work.
WikiProjects are not rule-making organizations. WikiProjects have no special rights or privileges compared to other editors and may not impose their preferences on articles.
