Uncyclopedia:Requests for expansion

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Almost every article in Uncyclopedia could do with some expansion - the aim of Uncyclopedia is to have every article at featured status. This page is for listing those articles of any length for which there is a specific request or longer (non-stub) articles which are still embarrassingly short or insufficient for an encyclopedia of the stature to which Uncyclopedia aspires.

More specifically, however, it is used to encourage improving "problem" articles created through UN:REQ and, if necessary, preserving formerly requested articles deleted due to monthly maintenance, voted for deletion, or during a site-wide cleanup event such as Forest Fire Week.

Articles to list here:

  • Stubs - Articles that are very short. These should be tagged with {{stub}}, or a topic-specific stub tag. Since stubs by definition are tagged as being too short for their subject, the use of the {{expand}} tag on stubs should always be accompanied by a detailed explanation of what needs to be done.
  • Longer articles that still need expansion. Be sure to tag these {{expand}} when you nominate them.

Articles not to list here:

Cleanup needed[edit]

Please help remove listings which have already been expanded. To determine this, you can check the article's history tab. Compare the length of the article from when the request was posted here to its current length. If there was a request for expansion of a particular point, see if this was done. Articles that have been expanded should have the {{expand}} tag removed from the talk page.

In order to prevent this page from getting too long, requests older than six months should be removed from this page entirely. When doing so, please move the comment accompanying the request from this page to the article's talk page, and make sure it is tagged {{expand}}. This ensures that the article will continue to be featured on the opentask list and Category:Articles to be expanded until it is eventually expanded.

Urgent[edit]

For the most urgently needed article expansions, it may make sense in addition to listing the article here to find the project page of an appropriate Uncyclopedia:UnProject (e.g. Uncyclopedia:Collaboratory) or ask for help from a particular editor who has made contributions in that field before.
