Talk:Writers Guild of America Awards/topic coordination

The goal of this topic coordination page is to improve all articles related about the WGA Awards to at least C-Class. The current state of these articles is abysmal. I would like to fix that, and I could use help doing it. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:05, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

About topic coordination

From the old WikiProject Council/Guide § Topic coordination:

If you just want to do a little bit of topic coordination because you want to coordinate across just a few pages, you might find the ideas in the following sections useful. (This is especially helpful when a task force is involved.)

Talk page information

Naturally, when coordinating work on the talk pages of articles related to the project, you should follow the Talk page guidelines.

Having said that, it is often useful to alter the talk page to help focus on the improvements currently needed to that page (which may not be limited to your topic coordination, but may certainly include it). You may find the following links helpful in this:

• Help:Talk pages
• Help:Archiving a talk page
• Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages
• Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines

Example: Topic coordination on a talk page

Here's one example of how to go about a topic coordination on a talk page. There are no doubt other ways; if you come across something else that works well for you, feel free to document it here. The example below uses Tulips.

1. Post a note on the Talk:Tulip page (this being the primary page for the tulips articles), saying:
   1. Your goal: that you want to try to get at least a Start-class article on each of the different species of Tulip
   2. Your to-do list: list all the articles as intra-wiki links, and encourage people to put their name next to one that they're volunteering for, or have done. You will also want to see Wikipedia:To-do list
2. Do a little networking: link from the other talk pages back to your section of the main one, using Template:Topic co-ordination link

To do list
