Responsibilities

The primary responsibility of the project coordinators is the maintenance and housekeeping work involved in keeping the project and its internal processes running smoothly; this includes a variety of tasks, such as keeping the announcement and open task lists updated, overseeing the assessment and review processes, managing the proposal and creation of task forces, and so forth. There is fairly little involved that couldn't theoretically be done by any other editor, of course—in only a few places have the coordinators been explicitly written into a process—but, since experience suggests that people tend to assume that someone else is doing whatever needs to be done, it has proven beneficial to formally delegate responsibility for this administrative work to a specified group.

The coordinators also have several additional roles. They will serve as the project's designated points of contact, and are explicitly listed as people to whom questions can be directed in a variety of places around the project. They also try to regularly contribute to the

• Monitor the daily assessment log. The main things to look for:
  • Articles being removed. This is usually legitimate (due to merges or non-film articles getting untagged), but is sometimes due to vandalism or broken template code. Also note that even though the banner and tags remain on the talk page, assessing a Future-class will remove the article from the bot's listing.
  • Articles being moved to "GA-Class" and higher quality. These ratings need to correspond to the article's status in the GA and FA lists, as well as our A-Class review.
  • All newly added articles should be quickly scanned to see if additional task force tags or other maintenance tags (such as "needs infobox") are required.
• Deal with any new
  assessment requests and the unassessed articles
  .

• Welcome anybody who joins the project, using the following boilerplate: {{
  Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Outreach/Welcome
  |~~~~}}
• Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Outreach/April 2024 Newsletter with new developments within the project.

Other

• Fix the {{
  Film}} syntax on any articles in Category:Incorrectly tagged WikiProject Films articles
  . The main culprits are the following:
  1. Deleted peer-review or old-peer-review parameters. Restore as appropriate.
  2. No WP Films peer review subpage. This usually occurs when editors turn on the peer-review tag in our banner but use the main
     peer review
     page. Open the banner, click on the peer review redlink, and redirect the page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Peer review/Foo film) to the original peer review page (Wikipedia:Peer review/Foo film).
  3. Changed page name. Do as above, but redirect to the wherever the original peer review was.
  4. Start or Stub articles that meet all of the B-Class parameters. Check the article to see if they actually do. If not, change the relevant parameters. If they do, then reassess the article to B-Class.
  5. A-Class articles which have not passed A-Class review. (To be effective shortly when the dormant parameter is activated.) Re-tag down to GA (if already earned) or B.

1. Create the task force page:
   1. Create the main task force page (
      Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators/Task force
      |Fooish cinema|Fooish}} as the content.
   2. Fill in the "Scope" section on the new task force page.
   3. Create the task force talk page (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Fooish cinema task force) with {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Sidebar}} as the content.
2. Add support for the task force to {{
   Film
   }}:
   1. Select an image to use as the task force icon. The image should be recognizable at a small size and reasonably representative of the topic of the task force.
   2. Add the task force display code (shown below) to the task force section of {{
      Film
      }}, in correct position among the task force parameters. The first letter of the task force name should always be capitalized.

      |-

      {{#switch:{{lc:{{{Fooish-task-force|}}}}}|yes|y=

      {{!}} [[File:Fooimage.svg|{{#switch:{{lc:{{{small|}}}}}|yes|y=20x20px|30x30px}}|center]]

      {{!}} This {{#switch:{{Film/Class|class={{{class|}}}}}|NA=non-article page|Disambig=disambiguation page|Template=template|Category=category|article}} is within the scope of the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Fooish cinema task force|Fooish cinema task force]]'''.{{#switch:{{lc:{{{category|}}}}}|no|n=|<includeonly>{{Film/Task force categories|name=Fooish cinema|class={{{class|}}}|core={{{core|}}}|needs-image={{{needs-image|}}}|needs-infobox={{{needs-infobox|}}}|needs-plot={{{needs-plot|}}}|needs-cast={{{needs-cast|}}}|B-Class-1={{{B-Class-1|}}}|B-Class-2={{{B-Class-2|}}}|B-Class-3={{{B-Class-3|}}}|B-Class-4={{{B-Class-4|}}}|B-Class-5={{{B-Class-5|}}}}}</includeonly>}}

      }}

   3. Add the appropriate code to the checks section of {{
      Film}}, as well as the {{WikiProject Film/Checks
      }} subtemplate.
   4. Update the
      project banner documentation
      :
      1. Add "|Fooish-task-force=" to the example syntax, in correct position among the task force parameters.
      2. Add "* '''Fooish-task-force''' – "''yes''" if the article is supported by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Fooish cinema task force|Fooish cinema task force]]." to the instructions, in correct position among the task force parameters.
3. Set up the task force assessment infrastructure:
   1. Create the main task force category (
      WPFILMS Task force category
      |Fooish cinema}} as the content.
   2. Create the main task force assessment category (
      WPFILMS Task force assessment category
      |Fooish cinema}} as the content.
   3. Create the assessment level sub-categories:
      1. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|FA}} as the content.
      2. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|FL}} as the content.
      3. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|A}} as the content.
      4. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|GA}} as the content.
      5. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|B}} as the content.
      6. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|Start}} as the content.
      7. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|Stub}} as the content.
      8. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|List}} as the content.
      9. WPFILMS Assessment level category
         |Fooish cinema|Future}} as the content.
      10. WPFILMS Assessment level category
          |Fooish cinema|Unassessed}} as the content.
      11. WPFILMS Assessment level category
          |Fooish cinema|NA}} as the content.
      12. WPFILMS Assessment level category
          |Fooish cinema|Category}} as the content.
      13. WPFILMS Assessment level category
          |Fooish cinema|Disambig}} as the content.
      14. WPFILMS Assessment level category
          |Fooish cinema|Template}} as the content.
   4. Add the task force's statistics table ({{
      task force statistics table
      in the assessment department.
4. Set up the task force's open tasks listing:
   1. Create the task force's open task template ({{
      WPFILMS Announcements/Task force
      }} as the content. At a minimum, the |name= parameter must be set to "Fooish cinema"; optionally, some initial tasks should be located and added to the listing.
   2. Add the new template to the "Task force lists" section of {{
      WPFILMS Announcements
      }}; the column break should be moved, if necessary, to keep the two columns properly aligned.
5. Set up the task force's userboxes:
   1. Create the task force userbox ({{
      Film
      }} above:

      {{userbox

      | border-c = #C0C090

      | id = [[File:Fooimage.svg|40x40px]]

      | id-c = #F5DEB3

      | info = This user is a member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Fooish cinema task force|'''Fooish cinema task force''']].

      | info-c = #F8EABA

      }}<noinclude>

      [[Category:WikiProject Films user templates|Fooish cinema]]

      </noinclude>

   2. Add the following to the userbox listing at
      Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Templates/Userboxes
      , in proper order among the other task force userboxes:

      |-

      | {{tlx|User Fooish cinema task force}}

      | {{User Fooish cinema task force}}

6. Add the task force to the project's navigation system:
   1. Add a link to the task force to the
      "Task forces" section
      of the main project page.
   2. Add links to the task force and talk page to the appropriate section of {{WP Film Sidebar}}
7. Announce the new task force:
   1. Add an announcement of the new task force page to the "Announcements" section of {{
      WPFILMS Announcements
      }}, and to the discussion of the task force proposal on the project's talk pages (if any).
   2. Add the task force to the "Films" section of the WikiProject directory; add cross-reference links to any other sections into which the task force falls.
