Template talk:ExpertContribution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK, so back in April 2006 in that TIME 100 article, when Jimmy was an avowed "anticredentialist", the WP:EXPERT thing got thrown into a tizzy. By Wikimania 2006, had was talking about quality-not-quantity, which is rather a different message. Let's use this template sparingly and, ideally, for FA articles only. It would be nice to restrict it to hard-science for starters, because that is where the project is hurting the most for real expert retention à la WP:QUIT. Also, let's limit the number of invocations on the FA-article talk pages to maybe three or five usernames or something reasonable like that. Just the people who got it to FA status or, maybe if one person has since taken it to well beyond what even FA could ask for. -- 70.231.154.13 18:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

We might also allow for Template:Maintained to show that some expert cares enough to provide themselves as a readily-available reference for pre-FA articles. Those experts are also giving of their time and effort. --199.33.32.40 23:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where's the guideline?

This template says to see Wikipedia's guideline on expert editors (Wikipedia:Expert editors), but this is not a guideline. - Rocket000 05:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
