Review changes — See recent changes on the
project watchlist, or visit
article alerts to discuss proposals for featured articles, deletions, moves, and more.
Another source for potential new articles is
LGBT studies redlink lists, which contains lists of topics from
Wikidata that do not have articles on Wikipedia.
Newly created articles that deal with LGBT topics should have the
WP:LGBT project banner added to the talk page. If you are unsure whether an article should be added to the project, raise it for discussion at
WT:LGBT.
Improving navigation
There are several ways to make it easier for readers to find new articles.
New articles should be placed in appropriate
LGBT categories, to group related topics together. See
WP:CAT for more.
WP:BLPCAT and
WP:EGRS provide important guidance on categorizing articles about people.
Navigational templates for LGBT topics can be added to articles, creating links between all articles with the template.
New and expanded articles can be submitted to
WP:Did you know, and if selected will be featured on the
Main Page.
Assessing article quality helps WP:LGBT members to recognize excellent contributions and identify topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the
WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.
Once an editor has assessed the article and completed the assessment parameter, the article will be added to the appropriate sub-category of
Category:LGBT articles by quality. These categories are used to generate reports like the quality table in this section.
The
LGBT articles by quality log lists articles that have been assessed, reassessed, moved, or removed from the project's scope in the past week.
Improving articles
There are several ways to find articles for improvement.
WP:LGBT/Core lists articles that are of fundamental importance to WP:LGBT's mandate.
WP:LGBT/Vital lists in-scope articles that have been identified as among the most important on Wikipedia. See
WP:VA for more information.
WP:LGBT/Popular lists the 500 highest traffic articles within WP:LGBT.
Use the quality table to pick an article from one class and work to get it to a higher class.
The LGBT WikiProject
peer reviews articles on request. This is to encourage better articles by having other contributors provide ideas for improvement. The process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality. This process is not an academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
Watching articles
You can help maintain the quality of LGBT content on Wikipedia by reviewing recent edits and joining active discussions.
WP:LGBT/Alerts reports on featured articles, proposed deletions and moves, and requests for comment on articles in WP:LGBT.
