Shortcuts

Welcome to the WikiProject Transport! We are a group of Wikipedia editors that work on topics related to transport. We have a goal of presenting all articles in a consistent, legible and informative format.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page or try for a quicker response on the project coordinator's (currently Rcsprinter123 (talk · contribs)) talk page.

What do we do?

Our goal is to build the foremost free-content encyclopedia of transport in the English language by:

Creating, improving, and maintaining articles that describe all aspects of transport;
Providing guidelines and recommendations for editors of transport articles; and
Serving as the central point of discussion for all issues related to transport in Wikipedia.

This project was created on 25 June 2004.

Recognized content

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Transport}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

Task forces

A task force is a type of WikiProject that has a special relationship with its parent project. Task forces will typically share resources for peer reviews and A-class reviews. A task force should populate the parent's "articles by quality" category. Also, a task force may conduct its discussions on the parent project's discussion page to facilitate discussion and it may use the parent project's banner.

It may be in the best interest of a smaller project to re-brand itself as a task force.

Current task forces of WP:TRANSPORT are:

Maritime transport task force
China transport task force (jointly with WikiProject China)
Germany transport task force (jointly with WikiProject Germany)
Nepal transport task force (jointly with WikiProject Nepal)

Child projects

Child projects are WikiProjects that have declared themselves as children of this project, but do not use this project's machinery.
