[edit] Objectives

[edit] Goals

  • To create well-written and properly organised encyclopedic coverage for all relevant video games, novels, characters, races and other notable concepts within the Warcraft series
  • To create a consistent style for Warcraft articles and related topics
  • To steamline navigation between Warcraft articles
  • To be a community of editors who like to focus on the improvement of articles relating to Warcraft
  • To indicate articles in need of improvement using our "to do" list

[edit] Scope

  • This task force aims primarily to improve and organize articles relating to the Warcraft series. It attempts to organise and coordinate the efforts of editors and create standards for constructing good articles.
  • Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Accordingly, we do not need articles that can be considered fancruft, or of an inappropriate level of detail. Our criteria for inclusion, as it is on the rest of Wikipedia, is notability in the real world, not in the subject itself.
