Wikimedia subject-area collaboration
| This is a
WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
|
Some
Wikipedians have formed a
project to better organize information in articles related to urban rail transportation systems. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the
talk page and see the
to-do list there.
This
WikiProject aims primarily to expand Wikipedia coverage of
urban,
suburban, and
interurban
public transport rail services, including
funiculars,
horsecars,
cable cars,
trams,
interurban,
light rail,
heritage streetcars and similar systems.
We want to expand information and articles to include historical, current, and future time periods. Subjects should include people, companies, technology, vehicles, rights of way, and systems. Some of these may form the basis later for a split as this project progresses. Essentially, we are limiting subjects to land-based transportation of people the majority of whom are traveling 40 miles or less one-way to and from home, school, and places of employment on services.

Add the following to your user page:
{{
User Trams WikiProject}}
to create:
Add the following to the talk page of an article to place it within this project's
Category:WikiProject Streetcars articles (and please note that other parameters may be specified in the template):
{{
WikiProject Streetcars|class=|importance=}}
Add the following template to the bottom of a relevant (stub or very short) article. Note
WP:LAYOUT for placement recommendations:
{{
tram-stub}}
articles then placed into the
Category:Tram stubs can then be examined and hopefully expanded.
Similarly, the template {{
europe-tram-stub}} places articles into the
Category:Europe tram stubs, {{
UK-tram-stub}} places articles into
Category:United Kingdom tram stubs. The {{
Norway-tram-stub}} template will place an article into both the
Category:Europe tram stubs and
Category:Norway rail transport stubs.
