Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Short story task force
Welcome to the Short Stories task force of the Novels WikiProject!
Scope
[edit]This task force seeks to create, improve, maintain, and provide a standard of consistency for articles about short stories and short story collections, as well as create a forum in which interested editors can work together to improve articles. Slightly long pieces often referred to as novelettes are in scope.

Tagging articles
[edit]Any article related to this task force should be marked with "short-story-task-force=yes" to the {{WikiProject Novels}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Short story task force articles.
The resulting code is usually:
{{WikiProject Novels |class= |importance= |short-story-task-force=yes }}
To-do
[edit]A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
- Tag articles!
- Recruit more members!
- Collaborate and join the discussions. If you know things, teach! (If you don't know things, Ask.)
- Add new articles! There are plenty of short stories and writers still unaccounted for! Needed Articles
- Expand articles (or merge if appropriate). All of these these stubs would welcome further care and attention.
- Start looking for featured articles and lists while getting familiar with and helping with assessment of prose fiction articles. Then add an "Articles" section to this project page.
- Add things here!
Literature Portal
[edit]The Literature Portal requires regular input and is always seeking volunteers. Help us keep this portal at Featured portal status!
