[edit] Goals

• Develop and maintain alphabetical indexes.
• Develop standards for indexes.

[edit] Project scope

• This project covers all alphabetical index articles on Wikipedia, and all links leading to them.

[edit] Volunteers

If you would like to work on Wikipedia's indexes and receive task assignments and updates, please add your name below:

1. The Transhumanist   
2. Gimme danger (talk)

Note: To keep this list up-to-date, inactive editors will be periodically removed.

[edit] Tasks

[edit] Add links to all indexes to the index list

The index list is called Portal:Contents/Index.

[edit] Fix TOCs

Many index pages have sections that don't show up on their tables of contents (TOCs).

These need to be fixed using a TOC template. {{compactTOC8}} works great for this.

[edit] The hunt for index pages that aren't called "Index of"

They hide in two ways:

1. By not being included in Portal:Contents/Index, or
2. By not having "Index of" in their titles

When you find them, please add them to the list below.

Those marked renamed have been renamed. Those marked placed have been added to Portal:Contents/Index.

[edit] Categories

• Category:Indexes
• Category:WikiProject Index articles - a second category showing all articles with the {{WikiProject Index}} tag.

[edit] Templates

• {{Index generator}} - to use, type this on a new page and save: {{subst:Index generator|topic uncapitalized|topic capitalized}}
• {{compactTOC}}
• {{compactTOC2}}
• {{compactTOC4}}
• {{compactTOC8}} - full featured table of contents template for use on alphabetical index pages. Many options.
