• Collaboration:
  • List of lakes - naming consistency and redirects. Some use List of Lakes "in" and other List of Lakes "of". SeeWikipedia:WikiProject_Lakes#Natural_vs_Manmade
• Requested Assessment & Reassessment:
  • Brown Lake (Stradbroke Island) has been expanded and improved. It is currently a stub article and I would like to request an assessment review.SnoMurWal (talk) 01:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

    It looks like the article was re-assessed some time ago. This to-do could be removedUninspired Username (talk) 01:49, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

  • West Point Lake Major overhaul done, attempted for B grade, soon GA status. Also check importance.
• To Improve toFA standard:
• To improve toGA standard:
• To Expand:
  • List of lakes - Setup outline and scope improvement for discussion see:Talk:List_of_lakes - requires collaboration on identifying 5 lakes per section globally for top level list. Then has TODO with a fraction of the redirects with potential for all the countries that needLists of Lakes of created.
• To De-stub:
• Contribute images
• To Create:
• To Add Features:
• Work onOpenTasks:
  • Add infoboxes to articles:Category:Lakes_articles_needing_infoboxes
  • Add photos to articles:Category:Articles using infobox body of water without image
  • add {{todo, lakes}} with comments on articles and lists on how they can be improved to higher class and other tasks. Seetodo, lakes doc
  • Cleanup listing:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lakes#Cleanup_listing
    • Split Infobox Lakes legacy titles to Infobox Body of Water from|name= to|other_name= or|native_name=where the <br> is found
    • Split Infobox body of water using <br> in the|name= field to|other_name= or|native_name=where <br> is found
    • Check names for other patterns like / has been used in a few
  • Tagging Redirects - to help with tracking of best practices tracking common name variant redirects like "in" vs "of" can be tagged with the project template which classifies as NA, but allows tracking if the redirect exists or is deleted where it may be a common variant. This or other proposal to help track linking would be good to develop. It would be good to have an overview of articles with possibilities just for WP Lakes instead of sifting throughCategory:Redirects_with_possibilities
• Project Development

    • Migrate guides of further advice to separate pages with templates -Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide#Advice_pages
      • Nominate mature conventions for broader consensus and feedback.Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines#Proposals
  • Automate Project tagging where reliable -setup in progress - recursive tagging of lakes by country with category pattern filters -setup discussion -Requested bot monitorCategory:Lakes by country and tag.
  • AutomateWikiProject Lakes Watchlist - currently articles are manually added.
  • Create redirect tracking category for possibilities likeCategory:Redirects with possibilities by WikiProject
  • Look at Collaboration of the Week structure -Template:COTWs andWikipedia:WikiProject_Birds/Collaboration for ideas for Lakes
  • Performance Goals and Tasks
