Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Māori task force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Māori task force of New Zealand. This project's aim is to better organise information in articles related to the Māori and Moriori of New Zealand. It is a sub-project of WikiProject New Zealand.

Scope

[edit]

This task force covers all subjects closely related to the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand, including their language, culture, history, politics, relationship with the land, and many other topics. It includes Moriori, but does not cover Cook Islands Māori.

Tasks

Assessment

[edit]

Assessment results in articles being included in the table above. Article class and Māori importance are the aspects to be assessed:

  • Add {{WPNZ}} to the talk pages of articles that come under WikiProject New Zealand's scope.
  • Articles that come under this Māori task force's scope should have |maori=yes included in the WPNZ template. Importance to this task force can be defined by including and filling in the maori-importance= parameter.
  • For example, for a start class article of low importance for WPNZ, but mid importance for the Māori project, the full template entry would look like this: {{WPNZ|class=start|importance=low|maori=yes|maori-importance=mid}}. See WP:WikiProject New Zealand/Assessment for more information.
  • All existing articles should have had the |maori=yes added to them; we will achieve this through a bot run in December 2010.
  • New articles created since need to have the parameters added manually.
  • If you find a category where the articles fall within the scope of this project, but the Māori parameters are missing, please leave a note on the project talk page.

The above table updates itself about daily. It's done by a bot. So if you have just assessed an article, the table will not change immediately. As a rule of thumb, we should end up with the following classification:

  • Top: 2–5%
  • High: 5–10%
  • Mid: 25–30%
  • Low: 60%

Categorisation

The following category stub can be added to stub articles:

Other stub types are also available.

Māori MPs

[edit]

There is a complete list of past and present Māori MPs. Each article should have a parlbox, a succession box, and eventually an infobox. This should usefully be added by electorate. If anybody is keen but needs a hand to get started, drop a note on the politics talk page. Have a look at the Western Maori pages for an example of succession boxes. Samples (from Mete Paetahi) are also shown here.
