WP:Articles for improvement

{{AFI/Collaborations of the day}}

• Check out the project's Articles for improvement page. Just start editing and help to improve our selected articles!
• You can nominate an article for us to work on.
• You may join the project by adding your name to the members list, and can sign up for weekly notices.
• If you have any questions, please feel free to ask at our talk page, and also at the Teahouse or Help desk.
• If you are new to Wikipedia, you may find Wikipedia's tutorial useful - it covers the basics of Wikipedia in under an hour.
• Be bold! Articles here can be edited at any time by all users, regardless of project membership status.

The project's four main tasks are to:

• Coordinate and collaborate to improve articles.
• Identify candidate articles.
• Select the order they appear on the community portal in the Articles for improvement section.
• Assess and track our accomplishments.

Since its inception, the 'Articles for Improvement' project has successfully enhanced hundreds of articles, with several achieving 'Good Article' or 'Featured Article' status, demonstrating the impact of collaborative editing efforts.

– See the Accomplishments page for additional articles.

The project member list is located at the Members page.

Our assessment criteria and procedure are explained on the Assessment page. Like many other WikiProjects, AFI assesses the articles it is involved with. Unlike other projects, we only assess the article's state before and immediately after its week of collaborative editing – that improvement is one (but not the only) measure of our success.

AFI makes use of various templates. See the Automation page for details, including banners, talk page messages, user and project maintenance templates. The project's bot tasks are also listed here, currently undertaken by MusikBot.
