[edit] Scope and Motivation

This WikiProject aims primarily to provide information in consistent format for articles on places in, or related to Belfast. On top of this, it aims to get the main Belfast article to featured status, whilst aiding the maintenance and improvement of the Northern Ireland Portal.

Articles and categories relating to Belfast are extensive and work needs to be/is being done across a multitude of areas. In order to gain the benefits of collaboration, please update this page with any relevant "to do"s.

[edit] Recent developments

  • Belfast has been successful as the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography's collaboration of the month. For anyone who's interested in helping to get the article up to FAC standard, there are many resources and a guide available on the UK Geography Project page.

[edit] Major pending tasks

  1. Update all {{infobox Belfast place}} templates to use include the new mapping function.
     
  2. Add the new {{WPBelfast}} template to all Belfast-related articles' talk pages.
    N.B. - please do not substitute the template, as any future changes to the template will not be updated automatically. On top of this, a substituted inclusion will not appear on the list of links that provides a gauge for the size of the WikiProject and ultimately all articles within the WikiProject (and does not include any non-relevant pages).
     
  3. Add new {{Belfast history}} navigational template to the top of all Belfast-history related articles.


  • Completely overhaul this page into a more coherent format.
    • Insert templates on talk pages of Northern Ireland-related articles referring to new MOS (yet to be created) page.
