CZ:Proposals/Driverless

Initial proposal records that lost, or never gained, an active driver will be moved here.

Every active proposal must have a driver, somebody who drives it along. Proposals without drivers end up here. These proposals can at any time be resurrected if somebody volunteers to adopt it and become its driver. Simply put your name in the driver field of the proposal record, review the rules for drivers, and you're ready to go.

Redirection creation bot

Summary: I propose to create a bot that creates some redirects automatically to save users time that they could better use to create new articles instead of creating redirects and to increase the amount of redirects to make it easier for users to find the article they are looking for.

Citizendium Mobile

Summary: Provide Citizendium pages automatically reformatted for mobile devices. Original proposer: Graham Proud 12:05, 23 February 2008 Next step: Fill in next step Driver: Driver needed (i.e., someone familiar with the proposals system who will move it through the system) To be done by: Fill in target date for next step Notes: Perhaps this is a MediaWiki question, and not for Citizendium? An example of how this could work may be seen in Microsoft's SharePoint Server, where the identical content is provided automatically in a layout more suited to small screens.

Teaming with Young Authors

Summary: Two of the lesser-used Subpage options appear to be the Student Level and Tutorial pages, both seemingly directed at younger readers. The proposal would be to pair subject-matter author/editors with younger (under 18) authors in areas of joint interest for the specific purpose of creating Student Level and Tutorial pages. Original proposer: Roger Lohmann 21:26, 19 February 2008 (CST) Next step: Community input Driver: Driver needed (i.e., someone familiar with the proposals system who will move it through the system) To be done by: Mar 1 Notes: I don't have time to pursue this right now, but may pick it up later. If someone else is interested in developing a full proposal, have at it. From AC: Oh, Roger, this is a great idea, but I can't take on one more thing just at the moment.

To the proposer: please read the proposals system policy page if you want to fill out a complete proposal, not just this summary. If you don't, please ask around for someone (a "driver") to take over your proposal! Start complete proposal

Should history articles be named with general terms first?

Summary: Should general article names be written as France, history as preferred to History of France or French History? The central points of contention is whether general articles (e.g France, history) should be called History of France or even French history. The idea is that the keyword should be first in an article such as this, with people searching for France in a general search will see a list of articles, e.g: France France, history France, politics France, literature etc. Original proposer: Denis Cavanagh 11:29, 8 February 2008 (CST) Next step: Fill in next step Driver: Driver needed (i.e., someone familiar with the proposals system who will move it through the system) To be done by: Fill in target date for next step Notes: This has been discussed before but deserves a fuller debate. I don't really have an opinion on the issue despite the history workgroup handily being my most active one.Denis Cavanagh 11:29, 8 February 2008 (CST)
