About the project

This project is formed by Wikipedians to increase, expand, improve, and better organize articles related to Animation. This page and its subpages contain our suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in this field. Some project goals are to help list and categorize animation related articles, develop quality standards for articles and build templates that help users browse the articles that fall under this project.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. The scope also provides a place for Wikipedians to share information and resources regarding improvements to all animation-related articles. Here, editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overlooked articles and problems, to the attention of other editors. If you are interested in joining the WikiProject, please feel free to add your name to the Participants list below, and find yourself an article to adopt.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Our broad of areas include:

Task forces

Please discuss any proposals for new work groups with other members or with the project as a whole before creating them.

WikiProject Animation runs several work groups are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the subject of animation. They afford the advantage of allowing editors to organize their efforts around a topic without having to expend time and energy organizing and duplicating the overall structure, style, and guidelines for a descendant WikiProject which would be completely or mostly covered by the Animation WikiProject.

Editors interested in creating work groups should look towards creating a work group with a medium-to-large number of articles within its scope, or consider a higher-level scope if this cannot be achieved.

Work groups should also have aroused a significant number of potential participants to warrant organizational overhead. The project, via consensus on the discussion page, will determine if a work group is to be created.

Potential task forces

  • other national or regional animation scenes
  • Animation periods (e.g. golden, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s)
  • Genres (biased towards top-level genre, not subgenre)
