• Assess all articles within the scope of the project.
• Add appropriate seamount type categories to articles, and verify the accuracy of any existing categories. See the section Categorization below.
• Add {{Infobox Seamount}} to articles if needed and missing, and add seamount-related fields to existing infoboxes if these are missing.
  Use {{convert}} templates to ensure accurate conversion of elevations, distances, areas, and volumes.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Seamounts and Submarine volcanoes.

Wikimedia Commons has many images of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena, along with igneous rocks. Many of these photos would make useful additions to many of our articles here which may be lacking adequate illustrations.

However, we have built a subpage database, /Images that records many of the significant images used on Seamount and Seamount related articles.

Please see the Commons categories at right, or try searching Commons since many images available there are not properly categorized yet.

In order to easily identify articles in need of attention, article assessments have been implemented. These are generated using the optional class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Seamounts}} project banner on an article's talk page: {{WikiProject Seamount | class= | importance= }}
