This is the page for theRed Dwarf WikiProject. If you would like to participate, add your name to list of participants below. Be sure to check out thediscussion page as well. - Optimistic revival launched 8 September 2018.
This project focuses on creating and improving content related toRed Dwarf and coordinating the creation of guidelines and best practices related toRed Dwarf, episodes, novels, episode list, characters, people. While there are many specific WikiProjects oriented around BBC and television franchises, this project is intended to deal with Wikipedia'sRed Dwarf coverage in general. - Build upon Wikipedia's coverage ofRed Dwarf.
Our goals and duties are as follows: - Discussions and debates relating to the above items, including merges, citations, other references, image issues, splits, cleanup, formatting, and expansion.
- Reduce trivial information, speculation,point of view, and anything else that violatesWikipedia's Fictional Guidelines.
- Monitoring all articles for violations of anything listed in the above two parts.
- Work towards making all related articles and lists clean, organized, well-written, and accessible.
- Bring numerous articles toGood Article,Featured Article, and/orFeatured List status.
We need the participation of Wikipedians andRed Dwarf fans alike. Here are some general guidelines to follow. - Take a look at recent discussions and thethings to do page to see if your ideas have already been or need to be addressed.
- Make sure youcite your sources, follow the project's guidelines in addition tostyle guidelines, and follow the discussions and agreements for the project.
- Look for text that seems biased (seeWP:NPOV) and fix it.
- Bebold, but do not be reckless. See the above items and the section below for further information on what to do and what not to do.
Do not: - Insertun-cited and trivial information (see:WP:FICT,Fancruft).
- Revert war (adherence to theOne Revert Rule is encouraged)
- Addoriginal research,unsourced claims, speculation,point of view, excess plot information, vandalism, andpatent nonsense.
- This is a general interest encyclopedia, notGameFAQs orWookieepedia. Full histories and backgrounds of characters go into far more detail than Wikipedia wants.
- Only a few characters or creatures deserve their own entries. Items, spaceships, planets, and other miscellanea do not.
- See:What Wikipedia is Not.
- Again, we stress: this project is mainly for cleanup, organization, enhancement, factual fixes, and so on. Trivial information and fanfiction are frowned upon.
