*This is basically an opening attempt to organize all Wikiprojects. The points need not be belabored. This has already been done ''de facto'' by/at [[:Category:WikiProjects]] and there is no need to reinvent the wheel. From experience, Wikiprojects that are dormant or inactive for about a year are tagged as such with the {{tl|historical}} template and categorized at [[:Category:Inactive WikiProjects]]. Deleting Wikiprojects entirely is too radical and flies in the face of [[WP:NOT#PAPER]] as well, as are many of the concerns above.

*The casual reader would not suspect that this essay was written by Wikipedia's most prolific setter-up of projects, and one of its most busy banner-clutters! This attempt to set out what projects '''ought''' to exist and be busy is completely pointless. In practice the least essential projects are often, indeed usually, the busiest and most organised. That is the Wikipedia way. Certainly projects where nothing happens, which includes most of those set up by the writer, should be closed down.
