Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge

Shortcut

• [[:|WP:WPCB]]

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Contract bridge. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

Scope

WikiProject Contract bridge aims to coordinate efforts to write all the Wikipedia articles about bridge in a coherent fashion. This includes the coherence of the following aspects:

• Naming and notation conventions
• Terminology
• Categorization

In the long term, our goal is to write a free and up-to-date equivalent of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge. In the short term, we should create at least one featured article and fill in the articles related with conventions, systems, terminology, and players.

Parentage

Father of this WikiProject is WikiProject Sports.

• Write consistent Manual of Style and Naming conventions

Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

• Example article: User:Example

Templates

All bridge templates are listed in Category:Bridge templates. The most important of those are:

• {{BridgeHand}}
• {{BridgeHandInline}}
• {{Bridgenote}}

Stub templates

Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted.

Currently, there's only one stub related with bridge: {{bridge-game-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Bridge (game) stubs.

Categories
