Wikipedia:WikiProject Vital Articles/Collaboration

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This is where the project organizes its collaborations, in an effort to systematically improve Wikipedia's vital articles to GA-, A-, and FA-Class.

Vital article collaborations are discussed on a single subpage of the subject article's talk page, located at [[Talk:[article name]/VAC]]. These subpages should always be headed with the text "This collaboration discussion is [[WP:TRANSCLUDE|transcluded]] from [[Talk:[article name]/VAC]]." (replacing [article name] with the actual name of the article). To start a collaboration, create the subpage with this header text and an initial comment, including a link to this page. That subpage should then be transcluded onto the bottom of the normal talk page.

Next update the {{Vital}} template by adding in |collaboration=yes and add {{Vital construction}} to the top of the article itself.

Finally, make sure that all relevant WikiProjects have been made aware of the collaboration by adding a note on their project talk pages.

The project should have two active collaborations at any given time, on distinct topics. Each collaboration lasts for about two weeks; one collaboration should finish and a new one chosen each week.

You can help plan future collaborations here.
