This article is an
outline, a type of article that presents a list of articles or sub-topics related to its subject in a hierarchical form. For the standardized set of outlines on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines. Outlines are within the scope of WikiProject Outlines, a collaborative effort to improve outlines on Wikipedia.

IMPORTANT: Friendly advice for new contributors
Wikipedia is not a
soapbox, a
battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. This applies to the
Transhumanism-related articles, categories, templates, and talk page discussions. Therefore, all content hosted in Wikipedia cannot be:
Propaganda,
advocacy, or
recruitment of any kind, commercial, political, religious, or otherwise. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a
neutral point of view. You might wish to start a transhumanist
blog or visit a transhumanist
forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite transhumanist views.
Opinion pieces on
current affairs or
politics. Although current affairs and politics, especially those that advance or hinder the goals of the transhumanist movement, may stir passions and tempt people to "climb
soapboxes" (i.e. passionately advocate their pet point of view), Wikipedia is not the medium for this. Articles must be balanced so as to put entries, especially for
current affairs, in a reasonable perspective, and represent a
neutral point of view. Furthermore, Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete. Wikinews, however, allows commentaries on its articles.
Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or transhumanist projects you have a strong personal involvement in. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See
Wikipedia:Autobiography,
Wikipedia:Notability and
Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Advertising. Articles about companies and products are written in an
objective and unbiased style. Article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations associated with a topic. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also
Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting transhumanist causes or events, or issuing
public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so.

There's certainly enough here to build one!

Rename proposal for this page and all the pages of the set this page belongs to
Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.
It seems to me this article is a collection of concepts instead of providing an encyclopaedic view of transhumanism. It is in grave need of rewriting.

Broken refs
There were two broken refs on the page, producing the big red error text in the reflist. I commented them both out. Presumably the main references here were deleted leaving only these orphaned refs.
<ref name="Intelligent agents"/>
<ref name="Coining of the term AI"/>
I guess the task here is comb through the history, find what the real references were, and then update these to include the full citation? Gosh that sound annoying, this seems like a real problem with named refs -- when removing any named ref you have to search for ophans, if not you leave a mess for someone else.

These were never working references which became orphaned. Instead the wikitext was copied from the lead for
Artificial intelligence and the references become broken at that time. So the task is just to fix up the references to make them like the lead. Although this kind of raises the question does a lead copied into an outline need the exact same citations, or are the requirements more lenient because one can always go to the main article and see the full details?

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"
Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the
tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See
Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.
