RuneScape:WikiGuild
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
Throughout Gielinor, many people who share the same pursuits band together to form associations in order to better support and promote these passions. These associations are more commonly known as guilds. And as the people in RuneScape have these guilds to allow them to pool their resources on those particular projects that interest them, so too do the people of the RuneScape Wiki.
A WikiGuild is a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within the RuneScape wiki; and, simultaneously, a group of editors that use said pages to collaborate on encyclopaedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopaedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organise article writing and editing.
The attached talk pages are a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project.

[edit] Steps to creating a WikiGuild
Go to WikiGuild Proposals, and see if anyone else is already proposing this.
[edit] Identify the best scope
Identify the best scope for your project. For example, are needles too small a project scope, such that it might only ever have a few articles and ten project members (some of whom don't do much)? Either of those criteria should be enough to make you think that maybe a larger scope would be better.
In simple form, the risks of a narrow scope are not enough people and not enough pages, consequently, your project may die from administrative overload, and become inactive.
[edit] Submit your proposal
Go to WikiGuild Proposals and submit a reasonably detailed proposal. Nothing to vague à la "Let's make a WikiGuild about pies!" The primary reason for this be used to gauge support for potential WikiGuilds before putting a lot of effort into creating a detailed project page.
- Proposing a project
- To propose a project, write a brief description (including links to the related RuneScape Wiki articles), and add it along with your name to the list below (in chronological order). Some boilerplate you can use:

*'''Support''' - [Rationale for support] *'''Oppose''' - [Rationale for opposition] *'''Neutral''' - [Concerns or suggestions]
- Creating a project
- If your project gains support from less than 5 active RuneScape Wikians, remove it from this list and reconsider your proposal and its scope.
- Requesting a project
- There may be cases where you believe that there is a pronounced need for the creation of a project which does not yet exist which you may not personally feel qualified to join. In the event you are aware of such a situation, please add the relevant name to the list of projects below and see if there are any individuals interested in creating such a project.
- Archive
- In the event a given proposal does not receive sufficient support within 1 month of posting here to create a project or task force, it is added to the RuneScape:WikiGuild/Proposals/Archive page.
