How to find existing articles
[edit]When choosing articles to work on, it might require a bit of exploring in Wikipedia. The easiest ways to find articles are:
- Searching for topics of related interest to the editathon topic using both Wikimedia’s internal search or through external search tools like Google.
- Investigating categories related to the topic of the editathon. For information about navigating categories, see the help page on English Wikipedia.
- Finding a WikiProject which might document the topic area and examining articles listed as part of the project. WikiProjects are listed on English Wikipedia at: the WikiProject Council Directory. Most WikiProjects have article assessment grids that can be used to find stub and start class articles which might be appropriate for an editing event.
Pro tip: If you are comfortable with Wikidata, it is possible to use Wikidata Queries to create comprehensive worklists for campaigns. The main tool for creating these lists, can be found at: Template:Wikidata list.
