Once you've wikified articles, please tag the talkpage with {{ Wikified}}. Thanks! |
The goal of this drive is to bring the number of {{ wikify}} and {{ Dead end}} and related tags to below 20,000 and clear all articles from the year 2008 from the backlog.
The drive is open to all, and you do not need to be a member of the WikiProject to participate. However, please consider joining.

- Click Edit on the page that opened.
- Add the following code to the page and save it:
{{subst:js|User:Dr pda/prosesize.js}}

- If you are using Internet Explorer, press Ctrl-F5
- If you are using Firefox/Safari for Windows, hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R); for Mac, press Command-R.
- If you are using Opera/Konqueror, press F5.
- To test it out go to any random article. If you look under the Toolbox menu on the far left of the screen there will be a link for Page size. The backlog elimination drive uses the number of words listed under Prose size (text only).
- Go wikify!
Some wikifyors enjoy taking a random dip in All articles that need to be wikified and learning about something completely new along the way. Others prefer editing articles in a field they already know about. Such articles can be found using categories: [Credit 3]
- Go to the whimsically named CatScan.
- Don't be intimidated! It's easy to use.
- Set the Depth to 5.
- Write or paste
All articles that need to be wikified
in the box labelled "Categories".- Write the name of a category of interest on a separate line in the same box, eg
Books
.- Scroll down and click the button labelled "Do it!"
- Be patient... For big categories the results might take a little while.
This example will find articles tagged with {{ Wikify}} in Category:Books, as well as its sub-categories, sub-sub-categories, and so on down to sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-categories.
- Set Depth to 5.
- Place
All articles that need to be wikified
in the Category box.- Tick off both Article and Talk in the Namespaces boxes.
- Place the template of the wikiproject in the Templates field and tick off "Use talk pages instead."
- Click "Do it!"
- Wow! The example search found 6 articles on Pakistan that need wikification and took 68 seconds to execute.
