Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut: WP:WPCB

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Contract bridge. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

[edit] Scope

WikiProject Contract bridge aims to coordinate efforts to write all the Wikipedia articles about bridge in a coherent fashion. This includes the coherence of the following aspects:

Naming and notation conventions
Terminology
Categorization

In the long term, our goal is to write a free and up-to-date equivalent of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge. In the short term, we should create at least one featured article and fill in the articles related with conventions, systems, terminology, and players.

[edit] Parentage

Father of this WikiProject is WikiProject Sports.

[edit] Goals

To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Bridge in general.
To achieve a complete and up-to-date coverage of bridge conventions and bridge systems
To create articles on every notable bridge player.
To improve existing bridge articles and get bridge articles to featured standard.

[edit] Projects

Creating comprehensive tables of suit combinations. The table suit combinations - T missing is pretty much complete, but almost trivial compared to the tables to be created that will describe the correct treatment of suit combinations when higher and/or more honours are missing.

[edit] Tasks

Wikiproject tasks not related directly to the development of bridge articles:

Write consistent Manual of Style and Naming conventions
Discuss and resolve the issues of merging or splitting of related articles, which created a dispute in the past. (Please share your thoughts on the Talk page)
Find a satisfactory solution for suit symbols and suit colors (Please refer to the Talk page)

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] Templates

All bridge templates are listed in Category:Bridge templates. The most important of those are:

{{Cs}},{{Ds}}, {{Hs}} and {{Ss}} (for suits)
{{BridgeHand}}
{{BridgeHandInline}}
{{Bridgenote}}

[edit] Stub templates

Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted.

Currently, there's only one stub related with bridge: {{bridge-game-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Bridge (game) stubs.
