Tasks[edit]
ImproveOutline of futures studies[edit]The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in theOutline of futures studies. It in turn is part ofWikipedia's outline system which is one ofWikipedia's contents systems. Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them. While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):
The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what. The outline is intended to be a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject. It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise futures studies material. It is a hub from which to organize futures studies related topics. It was built as a "reverse outline", astructural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes. Noticeboard[edit]
Articles in need of development[edit]
New articles needed[edit]
New articles created[edit]Please feel free to list your new Futures-related articles here. Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them can be suggested for theDid you know? box on theWikipedia:Main Page.
Adopt an article[edit]Similar to theCollaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
