Roller Coaster Task Force

Scope

Welcome to the Roller Coaster task force! The purpose of this task force is to standardise and improve all roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia.

To do

Importance scale

The classifications and criteria listed below should be used to rate an article's importance to the task force, which prioritizes articles that are most likely to be researched and visited by readers seeking more information on roller coasters. Those with the higher importance have a greater need to be well-written and complete. In some circumstances, the popularity of a subject may lead to a higher importance rating than another subject with greater importance to the industry.

Ratings are subjective, so editors may not always agree on the proper classification. Questions or concerns should be posted at WT:WikiProject Amusement Parks.

Categories

Placing articles into categories is now done automatically by the infobox. It will add any page including it to these categories, as long as the appropriate parameters are filled out correctly:

  • Roller coasters
  • Park Category
  • Manufacturer Category
  • Primary (wood or steel) and secondary type categories
  • Height category (Hyper, Giga, Strata)

If you see any redlinks in an infobox, check to ensure you have filled all fields in correctly and leave a message on the talk page if the problems persists.

Articles about types of roller coasters and roller coaster elements should be placed into Types of roller coasters and Roller coaster elements, respectively.
