Welcome to the Operation Wunderwaffe, an initiative of the Military history WikiProject.
Purpose & scope
[edit]this project strives to record all prototypes, planned weapons and experimental weapons from World War I to the modern day that never entered mass production for various reasons. Our goal is to record these amazing (or sometimes, unintelligent) designs on Wikipedia with available information, and bring these designs into the grand scheme of military history. What classifies as an experimental weapon? In this project, a weapon may be considered experimental if it has the following characteristics:
- The weapon is not a prototype of another weapon that was later mass-produced with minimal or without changes.
- The weapon is produced in very limited numbers for testing purposes, or it only exists on paper.
- The weapon is a completely new design or a significant deviation in components, structure, or purpose from an earlier design.
However, some exceptions can be made depending on the circumstance.
This project currently has four separate Phases:
Phase I: Enhance 90% existing articles about prototype/planned weapons to a C-class or above standard. Obviously, the ones without reliable further information on them are excluded.
Status- Active
Phase II: Create at least 1 start-class article for each known prototype weapon if possible.
Status- Active
Phase III: Raise 25% of the articles in the scope of this project(if possible) to a B-class standard, and 50% to a C-class standard.
Status- Inactive
Phase IV: Produce at least 4 A-class articles and 2 featured articles in this project.
Status- Inactive
