Wikipedia:WikiProject Animals/Directory

The purpose of this activity status request is not only to update the WikiProject database but also to assist editors in locating active animal-related projects to join.

Although opinions differ, a WikiProject is likely to be considered inactive if any of the following conditions are met:

A completely empty list of participants.
A list of participants that has not grown beyond the initial 1 (or 2 or 3) founders in many months, unless clearly constructive work is being done despite the tiny membership (and in such a case, a merger with a cognizable "parent" project is strongly recommended).
No changes to the WikiProject's pages (including any associated talk pages) for at least 3 months. Bot link/typo corrections and other similar minor activity are not counted as "changes".
There is no or very little evidence that the project is doing signficant work in the area for which it was established, the point above notwithstanding. It is notable by way of analogy that the Wikipedia Administrators' noticeboard and Miscellany for deletion generally interpret a user's pattern of doing nothing but fiddling with their own user page for a long period of time as evidence that the user will not be a constructive editor, resulting in the user page being deleted. A WikiProject that does nothing but work on itself for months is evidence of a similar pattern of thumb-twiddling.

If even one editor is working on a WikiProject then it will be considered an active or semi-active Project.

There will be no discussion concerning the activity status of Projects; this is merely an "administrative" action to determine the status of each project under WikiProject Animals, and to assess its viability for the future. If it is found that a number of projects are inactive then there will be a discussion of possible merges between projects in order to pool resources and members. Hope this helps. Zoo Pro
