Articles to be created
- User:Pengo/ants, ants ranked by commonness in publications
- See List of ant genera for redlink genera
- Winkler extraction
- Ant navigation
- Ant parasites
- Ant anatomy
- Haidomyrmecini, Anochetus, and Acanthognathusas all being "trap-jaw ants.
Articles in need of updating
- Update the (mostly tribal) taxonomy of the S2CID 83986771.
- Dorylinae - Talk:Dorylinae#2016 Revision
- Apomyrminae/Apomyrma - revived subfamily
- Solenopsis molesta - could use a clean up and more information and sources.
- Camponotus castaneus - No longer a stub, needs to be reviewed.
- Overbeckia
- Iberoformica and Iberoformica subrufa - inconsistent, likely need a merger.
Synonyms or misspellings
- Leptothorax recedens --> Temnothorax recedens
- Leptothorax minutissimus --> Temnothorax minutissimus
- Leptothorax duloticus --> Temnothorax duloticus
- Aphaenogaster bidentatus (misspelled?)
Myrmoxenus --> Temnothoraxnot fully accepted, notes added- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa(merge needed)
- Pseudomyrmex ferruginea --> Pseudomyrmex ferrugineus??
- Lasius murphii --> Lasius murphyi??
- Messor pergandei --> Veromessor pergandei
- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa(Carebara is a more accepted name for this genus, and the species' name diversa is also more accepted but the page Pheidologeton diversus has more details on the species than the article Carebara diversa has, so if some contents were to be deleted during merger, I suggest that the contents on the article Pheidologeton diversus] to be kept.)
Species lists in need of updating
- Feel free to link articles containing out-of-date species lists here. See also aw-taxa (script for generating lists of genera/species from AntWeb's catalog).

- Create articles on all extant species
- Add species lists to all extant genera
- All articles: Add references or tag unreferenced paragraphs with {{cn}}. Articles should contain 100% referenced/tagged content.
- Expand subfamily article to at least start class.

Task force tagging
- Example template
{{WikiProject Insects|class=GA|importance=low|ants=yes|ants-importance=top}}
- Empty template:
{{WikiProject Insects|class=|importance=|ants=yes|ants-importance=}}
The importance parameter is shared by all WikiProject Insects pages and this will likely be set to low even for imporant ant articles, but be generous with the ant-priority assessment! We'd rather have a few extra high/mid-rated articles than having important ant articles lost in the low-priority category (which is where most species articles will end up).
Available parameters (see Template:WikiProject Insects for a full list):
- Task force params:
ants=yesants-importance=top/high/mid/low
- From the parent template:
class=FA/GA/B/C/start/stub/listimportance=top/high/mid/lowattention=yesneeds-photo=yes
