Tasks

Open tasks

edit · history · watch · refresh  To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Graphic design:

Recruit motivated design practitioners, educators, and organizations to join this Wikiproject Add articles to project each design related article (here's a good list) as within the scope of this Wikiproject by adding the following code to the top of its talk page {{WikiProject Graphic design}}. If there are multiple projects claiming an article, try to consolidate them with {{WikiProject banner shell}} or {{WPB}} codes. Categorize Design-related articles not already in Category:Graphic design by adding [[Category:Graphic design]] near the bottom of each article. Be sure to properly categorize any new article you write! Proper categorization will cause an article to automatically appear in the category index. Develop a skeleton structure off which to hang a revised main article on Graphic design Create a list of stub articles on topics for which there is no article yet, and publish them on the main page a list of articles in need of repair/restructuring Clean up the Design portal by adding some more Graphic design-related content the list of Unreferenced BLPs for the project
