Watchlist

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=yes
  • ants-importance=top/high/mid/low
• From the parent template:
  • class=FA/GA/B/C/start/stub/list
  • importance=top/high/mid/low
  • attention=yes
  • needs-photo=yes

Transcluded from /Recognized content

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Ant task force articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

Resources

• antcat.org – taxonomy
  • Journal and book references can be exported on the references' details pages (follow the linked reference id) and click on 'Export' --> 'Wikipedia' (example)
  • Export wiki-formatted lists of tribes/genera/species by appending "/wikipedia" to a catalog page's URL. Example: Lasius.
  • {{AntCat}} – citation template (append "/wikipedia" like described above to populate this template from a catalog page)
  • AntCat's recent changes page – useful for discovering changes in ant taxonomy
• antweb.org – Images
• antwiki.org – Good for finding references but is not considered a reliable source itself. Claims found using AntWiki as a reference should be tagged with the {{Better source needed}}template and changed in the future.
