WikiProject Highways is awikiproject that aims primarily to standardize the format used in articles about highways, including freeways, expressways, throughways, and other major forms of road. A major part of this is the connectivity of highways and the analogous connectivity of their articles. The scope and aims of this project are likely to change in this early stage. If you are interested in joining, add yourself to theparticipants page.

This project sets the standards for countries that do not have a country roads WikiProject yet. These standards are intended to be loose so that they are applicable worldwide.

In addition to this, this project sets a few standards for country roads WikiProjects that do exist, to ensure uniformity across all highways articles.

The parent of this project isWikiProject Transport.

For the analogous lists for the various subprojects, seeWikipedia:WikiProject Australian Roads/Recognized content,Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Recognized content, orWikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Recognized content.

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly byJL-Bot (talk ·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it istagged (e.g.{{WikiProject Highways}}) orcategorized correctly and wait for the next update. SeeWP:RECOG for configuration options.

Each article should have an infobox, which is typicallyInfobox road, and alead section which introduces all the article sections. The first sentence should provide a definition of the article subject, including location. If there is another common abbreviation for the subject, state it in the lead section. A map and image help the article. This is an example of map layout adopted by theU.S. Roads WP.

The use of lists is discouraged; prose or tables should be used when more appropriate. For further exploration of road article structure, see road articles that areFeatured Articles or any of the subprojects.

As of 2010, the standard infobox,{{infobox road}}, has been updated to accommodate roads worldwide, and the subtemplates have been set up already forthese countries. There is also{{infobox road junction}} for articles on individual junctions or interchanges.

Use a standard highway map style. Identify articles about highways and routes that need maps and place a regional request map template on the talk page. For further information seeImages and media orCommons map resources. Identify and categorize existing historical highway maps, and list them at here. Add{{Image requested}} to the talk page of the road article, the request will end up in one of theseWikipedia requested photographs in places categories.

Each article should have a prose description of the route. One uniform direction should be followed; for example, in the United States, all route descriptions progress from south to north and from west to east.

Where applicable, each article should have a history section and / or a future section, describing past and present affairs of this route. Details in the future section must be verifiable and not speculation, perWP:CRYSTAL.

Each article should have a list of junctions, or where applicable, a list of exits.This is normally not just a list; it needs to be in a table format. Exit lists need to followMOS:RJL, the international road junction list section of the Manual of Style, as well. Here is a page ofjunction templates.

• The most general stub type forroad and highway articles is{{road-stub}}.
• Use the most specific stub type applicable which are listed on the specific geographical wikiprojects listed above.
• Multiple stub templates can be used on a stub, but avoid adding more than two stub templates to any specific article.
• In order to create a new stub type, identify at least around 50 articles that would fall into the proposed stub category and then make a proposal on theWikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals page.

• The most general category for highway and road articles isCategory:Roads
• Use the most specific categories applicable, deferring to the above only when the existing categories are not appropriate.
• Do not place articles into both a category and that category's parent category, but use the more specific of the two.

Please help add comprehensive coverage worldwide on theRoads portal, and if there are any additions which could be made from many countries or regions that would be appreciated.

1. For instance, a successfulDYK could be added.
2. Feel free to directly add quality, or featured road-related images or panoramas. If a photo is not recognised by being classified as quality or featured, then it should be of finer quality like would be in a magazine or print encyclopaedia. A portal showcases Wikipedia's finer work, in this case the roads portal showcases Wikipedia's finer roads-related works worldwide.
3. Feel free to directly addFeatured,A-Class orGood roads-content articles to the portal's selected article list. Articles on this list are now rotated automatically through the portal. Other articles may benominated here.
