WP:WikiProject Agriculture

Welcome to WikiProject Agriculture. Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of agriculture and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

This Project aims primarily to provide a consistent article structure for agricultural related topics while striving to develop and improve said agriculture articles. The goal is to make Wikipedia a comprehensive source of factually accurate, neutral articles that include relevant, credible facts.

{{see also2|List of covered agriculture subjects}}

This WikiProject strives to develop and improve articles at Wikipedia related to crop production, livestock management, aquaculture, dairy farming and forest management. The project also covers related areas, including both governmental and NGO regulatory agencies, agribusiness, support agencies such as 4H, agricultural products including fertilizers and herbicides, pest management, veterinary medicine and farming equipment and facilities.

The most popular Agriculture articles are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture/Popular pages.

• Agricultural education (ag-ed) task force
• Beekeeping task force
• Livestock task force

You can join this project by adding your name on the participants list. You might also like to place the {{tl|User WP Agriculture}} template on your user page.

• Please place new entries at the bottom of the list.

• Wheat - a previous GA that was de-listed, it's a developed article with potential to re-attain GA status with improvements. Northamerica1000^(talk) 04:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

:* Ah, I just nominated it, after a lot of ... weeding. Only took 10 years... the curse of plant breeding, perhaps. Good suggestion, anyways. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:39, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Please feel free to list new Agriculture-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,500 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.

{{/New articles}}

After 60 days on the new article list, articles are moved to the archive.

If you find an article that falls under the scope of this project, feel free to add this banner to the top of its talk page by typing {{tl|WPFarm}}, which will produce the following:

{{WikiProject Agriculture| class=NA

For stubs, always use:

• {{tl|Agri-stub}} or
• {{tl|bee-stub}} or
• {{tl|livestock-stub}} or
• {{tl|cattle-stub}} or
• {{tl|horse-stub}} or
• {{tl|sheep-stub}} or
• {{tl|goat-stub}} or
• {{tl|poultry-stub}} (upmerged, i.e. it doesn't have its own category, just its own tag, it's in {{cl|livestock stubs}})
• {{tl|pig-stub}}
• {{tl|forestry-stub}}

This tag should be placed at the bottom of the article page (below any categories and templates other than other stub templates). This is in addition to assessing the article as "|class = stub" on the talk page. If the article is already tagged with {{tl|stub}} replace it with one of the above tags but leave any other appropriate topic specific stub templates.

'''{{cl|cattle stubs}}, {{cl|horse stubs}}

{{cl|goat stubs}} and {{cl|sheep stubs}} feed into {{cl|mammal stubs}} and {{cl|livestock stubs}}, there is no need to list any other {{cl|biology}} or {{cl|Agriculture}} stubs if you use one of these stub tags. {{tl|domestic-pig-stub}} has been upmerged into {{cl|livestock stubs}}. On the other hand, the tags below do not feed into Agriculture categories, do not use these tags in place of an Agriculture stub template above, rather use them together with an Agriculture stub template.

• {{tl|poultry-stub}}
• {{tl|duck-stub}} for ducks
• {{tl|goose-stub}} for geese
• {{tl|swan-stub}} for swans
• {{tl|Anseriformes-stub}} for any other Anatidae (i.e. waterfowl)
• {{tl|Bird-stub}} or another more specific form for all other birds

:See Mammal stubs

• {{tl|lagomorph-stub}} for rabbits and hares
• {{tl|mammal-stub}} generic mammal stub

• {{tl|plant-stub}} generally
• {{tl|horticulture-stub}} where appropriate
• {{tl|legume-stub}} for family Fabaceae
• {{tl|grass-stub}} for grasses

• {{tl|fruit-stub}} for fruit
• {{tl|vegetable-stub}} for truck crops

Also: {{tl|plant-disease-stub}} and very generally {{tl|botany-stub}}, if needed.

Tag with all appropriate non-duplicative stub templates (e.g. don't tag with both {{tl|Legume-stub}} and {{tl|Faboideae-stub}} - only use the more specific {{tl|Faboideae-stub}} if it applies), as these assist other editors in searching for stubs in topics they are interested in working on and may assist other projects in finding stubs related to their subject area (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Botany in the case of plants). Additionally, some of these stubs may eventually feed into Agriculture as additional stubs, it will be easier if they are already tagged.

There is also {{tl|Veterinary-med-stub}}
