[edit] Tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Saskatchewan: edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

[edit] Contest Department

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article.This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

You may want to enter the ongoing contest to earn awards!!

Current Focus: Please improve these primary highway articles to good and feature article status. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canada_Roads/Saskatchewan#NotabilityHigh Importance and most notable articles listed here as they have the most notability in Saskatchewan.


[edit] Showcase selected highway articles

Portal Saskatchewan Selected Highway has been established to showcase the finer Saskatchewan highway articles. Instructions for Portal additions. As an article is adopted, please add highways of better quality to this section. It would be awesome, if all articles at some time would be feature class or Good Status articles.

[edit] Article Content Considerations

Canadian Highway notability guidelines Talk

Try to add these sections to an article: If a road/highway may contain appropriate information but has not been developed add under that section heading: {{Template:Sectstub}} If no information is available delete the section heading.
