01. DEFINITION Main 02. ACTIVITY Main 03. CATALOGUE Main Category links |
This is the Project Activity mainpage for WikiProject Mesoamerica. It contains the active worklists for a variety of article-related tasks (articles for creation, expansion, cleanup, improvement, review preparation), notes on the Project article rating and assessment scheme, a monitoring board for Mesoamerica-related articles &c. undergoing some form of review process (FAC, GA, PR, deletion, renaming) workspaces for Project activities, the current priority list of open tasks, and a forum for the outlining of general strategy and associated activities/subprojects. WikiProject Mesoamerica has three main pages: Each of these mainpages has an associated set of subpages, which contain the content and detail relevant to that section. Much of the material in those subpages can also be viewed directly from the mainpages so that the material can be reviewed all at once. The actual work and editing takes place on the subpages themselves, not the mainpages. This introductory section can be "hidden" via the hide/show toggle which appears to the right of the "02. Project Activities" title, above. |

Article rating and assessment scheme[edit]
An article rating and assessment scheme has been implemented for Mesoamerica-related articles, which is monitored and maintained by WikiProject Mesoamerica. In this scheme, all Mesoamerica-related articles ('article' here also includes lists) may be assigned:
The primary purpose of this rating and assessment scheme is to provide editors with a sub-categorised survey of the current status of Mesoamerican articles, which can then be used to prioritise the overall workload and highlight articles needing improvements at various stages. For example, higher-priority articles (those most essential to any encyclopaedia) in need of most work (i.e. lower quality) can be readily identified for attention and collaboration. There will be a number of secondary benefits from the scheme, such as being able to track which kinds and topics of articles are 'neglected'. This assessment and rating scheme follows the precepts adopted by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, see Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment and Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Work via Wikiprojects for details. The class and importance ratings are recorded by setting appropriate values to the parameters of the main WP:MESO Project banner, {{WP Mesoamerica}} (or alternatively the WP:AZTEC subproject banner, {{WP Aztec}} ), which are placed on the corresponding talk pages of in-scope Mesoamerican articles. See the template instructions for details on these and other parameters which can be set. See the Quality scale for guideline criteria for rating an article by class/quality. See the Importance scale for guideline criteria for rating an article by importance/priority. The assessments of class and importance are assigned manually by WP:MESO project members (or other interested parties)– see the Rating instructions for details. Assigning a rating will automatically place the article in an appropriate rating category. Once assigned, behind the scenes a bot (Mathbot (talk · contribs)) runs periodically (scheduled daily, about 0300hrs UTC) which compiles a variety of statistics and log data, which can then later be analysed. It is expected that this rating and assessment scheme will require periodic and iterative maintenance, as new articles are created or identified, and existing articles are progressively improved (or, hopefully much rarer, demoted), requiring the status to be reassessed (indicated by changing the parameter value). Of course, anyone is free to edit any of the articles they choose without regard to priority, however it is hoped that this will provide some basis for a more methodical approach to the longer-term overall improvement of content and coverage in the Mesoamerican field.

The current selection of priority open and ongoing tasks is contained in a separate template, seen below. These represent a sampling of the tasks and activities to focus on, and are contained in template form so that they can be listed at a number of appropriate places (eg interested participants' userpages) as a readily-visible reminder. At some future point the open tasklist is proposed to be added to the project banner (in an expandable section) to encourage wider collaboration. To add the open tasklist to your userpage, add the template {{WP Mesoamerica tasklist}}.

Details of overall Project strategy —plan of action designed to achieve particular goal(s)— are to be defined here. This will consist of a number of tactical actions intended to work towards the primary aim:
All participants and other interested parties are invited to assist with any of the tasks below, to expand them, or to suggest new ones. Strategy- activities & subprojects[edit]The sections below are intended to document and outline various activities, sub-projects and tasks for the Project —aka a few reminders of "here are some things you can do"— which are to be worked on, or are planned to be worked on. These are broadly aligned towards the individual high-level aims specified on the Goals subpage, and are grouped according to which of these they most closely address. General discussion and proposals for new activities can be directed to the corresponding talk page. As these sub-projects and tasks further develop, there may be a need to create new workspaces (project subpages), these should be linked to in the 'links' column, and also added to the overall Project Navigation panel where appropriate.
