[edit] Article Statusbox

This could be put on the main WP:AF page to show how many articles we have and what are they ranked at

Artemis Fowl articles		Importance
		5	4	3	2	1	Total
Quality
	GA						0
	B					9	9
	Start				1	14	15
	Stub					6	6
	Assessed				1	29	30
	Unassessed					29	29
	Total				1	58	59

Note: If the article did not have a priority assigned, it is placed under priority level 1.

As of 15:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I will be ranking a lot more articles soon, and should the books be at priority level 5 as they are important to get to FA status

I did this all by looking at each article's talk page, so it would be much easier if there was a bot maybe to do it? ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 15:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there's a bot to do that, but priority 1 is the most important, not priority 5. See WP:AF/P —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvin 1998 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I added an FA row, fixed the priority order, changed the heading from "Importance" to "Priority", and made the priority columns wider. ( I didn't update any of the numbers, though.)  Laptopdude  Talk  19:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there is a bot that updates status boxes like these. But, as we seem to be using a different priority system (1 to 5, instead of Top, High, Mid, Low and None) from every other WikiProject, I don't know how it would react to our articles.

If I'd actually been around at the time this was being implemented, I would've suggested that we use the Top-High-Mid-etc system (apart from being more widely used, it's also more intuitive - whereas as this thread has shown it has to be explained whether 1 or 5 is the highest rank) but I suppose it's too late now...

PS: While I was writing this reply, that archive bot came along and moved this thread to the archive page! Grr! *shakes fist at bot* Silly bot, LOL.

That would make the task easier, but Laptopdude would have to change the talk page notice (which is probably easy for him). ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I am working on a new talk page notice with the Top, High, Med, Low, importance in my sandbox: User:Legoktm/Sandbox3 ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 04:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It is finished at User:Legoktm/Sandbox3 and examples can be seen at User:Legoktm/Sandbox4. Things to remember, You MUST capitialize the first letter in each word, i.e. stub to Stub low to Low and you CANNOT use Mid, you must use Medium. If it is fine with Dreamy, i will go ahead and change the main template and start recategorizing articles. ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 03:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

That looks like some fine work there! :) But, can I ask, why Medium instead of Mid? I thought one of the reasons to change it was so that the statistics bot doesn't go all crazy on us? (If so, we really ought to change "priority" to "importance". Also the category format seems to be "Top-importance Artemis Fowl articles", etc. rather than "Priority Top Artemis Fowl articles".) Now, I have no idea whether the bot does actually go mental if you deviate from the pattern, but, err - personally I'd rather not chance it? :| -- KittyRainbow (talk) 03:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

If we use Mid, then it will say "This article has received an importance rating of Mid within the Artemis Fowl Wikiproject." If that is fine with everyone, then you can use Mid instead of Medium. I have switched the category links. ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 04:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

(reset indent) Is everyone fine with the change from priority to importance? LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 00:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and have we found a bot for updating such a statusbox? Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 01:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's called the WP 1.0 bot. I did actually link it earlier, but the link was quite small so I'm not surprised you missed it, heh. -- KittyRainbow (talk) 13:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Any comments? LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 22:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New User

Hello Project Artemis Fowl editors and coordinators - I have joined your endeavor, and started off with making some grammar edits to the Series Page. Please tell me if you want me to take care of some edits. I will continue to improve the quality of many Artemis Fowl Pages, and hopefully Project Artemis Fowl will be a success.

[edit] Help requested

Requesting help expanding User:Calvin 1998/Domovoi Butler (a re-write of Domovoi Butler). Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 03:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Was also wondering whether we should create an article on the Paradizo family. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 21:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Why not? Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky ^Talk _Contribs 01:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, it's at User:Calvin 1998/Paradizo family. It's really small right now. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 00:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portal

Lengthy discussion about creation - click [show] over there --> to show

I have set up a portal at Portal:Artemis Fowl (shortcut P:AF). It is still being under construction. LegoKontribsTalkM 23:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC) I made a couple of the required subpages, but we still need a way to come up with the "Selected Article", "Did you know?", and all that, because those need to be updated regularly (probably weekly). Calvin 1998 (t-c) 00:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC) Might I suggest that we use Template:Random portal component in order to facilitate easy rotation of articles? Essentially it allows us to compile a set of subpages of possible articles, from which it will randomly select one when someone visits the portal. (You can see this in use on Portal:Poetry - and soon, I hope, on Portal:Children and Young Adult Literature.) Then the only section that would require regular manual updates would be the news section... Although, considering that there tends to be no AF news at all for months at a time, is there even any point in having a news section? Also, since there's only about three people related to AF, it might not be worth having a "selected biography" section either! XD; -- KittyRainbow (talk) 10:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC) I removed the news section, but I thought in Biographies, we could put character bios. LegoKontribsTalkM 06:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Putting the characters in the Biographies section would be a bit like treating them as though they're real, and that seems a bit in-universe to me... :/ I thought the Biographies section would be for Eoin Colfer, Kev Walker, Adrian Dunbar, Nathaniel Parker, etc. Other possible candidates are Andrew Donkin, Giovanni Rigano, Tony Fleetwood, Tristan Elwell... but they don't have articles. -- KittyRainbow (talk) 22:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Well, it is a portal... so there isn't a problem with being in-universe. It makes more sense to have characters in that section... perhaps rename it "Character of the Day"? Calvin 1998 (t-c) 01:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Changed to "Selected Character". LegoKontribsTalkM 05:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Current status: Main portal construction completed, now we need to make all the subpages, including the rotating character bios and selected articles. Also need to add the portal template to all articles in Category:Artemis Fowl (maybe with AWB?). Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 05:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I think all of them are Y Done LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 23:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Heh, the selected whatevers are blank for me right now... are those done? Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

And about the AWB work, I think we need to add {{Portal}} to all the AF articles... Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I got them all (The ones that show up blank, have just been tagged with the category) LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 05:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Opinions?

Any opinions/suggestions on User:Calvin 1998/Domovoi Butler? I'm more or less done with it, I just need to get all the books and put refs on it. Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 02:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Just needs the ^{[citation needed]} tags to be removed and replaced with refs. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 06:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I looked it over, fixed a couple grammar errors, added the names of those books, and the name of that city. Nice job. Also, since i don't know how to cite sources, the town was on page 380 and the books on page 381.  Laptopdude  Talk  22:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Nice... I'll add the refs in as soon as I can. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
