| When I wrote the scope, I put that Wikipedians are in the scope of WikiProject Misplaced Pages. When I wrote that, however, I was more thinking about ] and did not know about all the articles in ]. When someone put the WikiProject Misplaced Pages banner on ], I realized that there was over 180 other articles that might fit in this WikiProject. Would they fit under the scope of the WikiProject or should we be more specific in our scope to be more focused? If they do fit in this WikiProject, should we have a task force or something similar to cover Wikipedian articles in specific? — '''<font color="blue">]</font><font color="green">]</font>''' 00:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I think it should be more focused. I bet we'd be surprised at how many people with articles also edit Misplaced Pages (far more than what is currently known), simply as something to do.

| Since we do not have a project for the Wikimedia foundation as a whole, would it not be better to move this to ] so as to cover related topics like ], ] etc? I can't see the logic in creating a small project before a larger one exists, and broadening the scope wouldn't add that many more articles anyway, while preventing them from being orphaned. ] 01:46, 27 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

| There's a new article about ], i.e., content and conduct disputes among Misplaced Pages users, along with dispute resolution efforts. The article is mostly building up from academic research -- more than a dozen so far, though there are dozens of earlier studies that could be included. | |||
| :Interesting idea, but I think that the problem would be that it wouldn't add too many articles to the scope while the template would have to be changed, the scope almost completely rewritten, and all 101 pages already tagged changed (or perhaps this isn't needed? I'm not quite sure on how templates work). Regardless, it would need a lot of renaming and fixed links (i.e. the assessment categories), but could be done. | |||
| To avoid arbitrarily selecting from Misplaced Pages as a source, it'd be great to have external Reliable Sources that cover the history of key WP disputes (such as the ] or describe the history and processes of dispute resolution efforts. Thanks. ] (]) 04:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :Another idea I was considering earlier and that was brought up on the MfD by someone else would be to create a ] to cover wikis in general and then make this a subproject or taskforce of that, that would increase the scope a lot more of articles that are often without a WikiProject. If this were to become a taskforce, a "Misplaced Pages=yes" or "Wikimedia=yes" (whichever is agreed upon) could be added to the WikiProject Wiki assessment template to allow the taskforce to still have separate assessment. — '''<font color="blue">]</font><font color="green">]</font>''' 02:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :::Well, it can't be a child project because it is a ''parent'' topic. Misplaced Pages is just a single part of the foundation. And it certainly isn't an separate project, because they are so related. I had thought there already was a ], that would also be a good idea. | |||
| Before publishing this on Misplaced Pages I am trying to get peer review for it, to make it easier for academics to trust and cite. Until publication I have this preprint. | |||
| :::Concerning the template, changing the template will change its appearance on all the pages it already appears on. All that would have to be done is change the name and fix any wayward links etc, and obviously redefine the scope of the project. Probably a bit of work, but it would be better to do this now if it is ever to be done than wait for later. ] 06:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Readership of Misplaced Pages | |||
| ::::<s>Looking at it, I think having WikiProject Wikis would cover more articles and probably attract more people. Misplaced Pages is a wiki, and people who only want to work with Misplaced Pages-related articles in specific can stay with this project or taskforce without having to worry about the greater WikiProject. It adds, not removes (and it adds a lot, otherwise this would be a rather small WikiProject), and would prevent people from objecting to this in the future (look at the MfD). | |||
| *https://doi.org/10.3897/arphapreprints.e139375 | |||
| ::::The only question is whether this should remain as project and become a subproject or switch to being a taskforce. Either way, I think the separate assessment should be kept with a "Misplaced Pages=yes" tag in the new assessment box, which might be the hardest thing to do in adding the new WikiProject. If it were a taskforce, I think it would be better if it were a Misplaced Pages (and not Wikimedia) taskforce, as a taskforce should be focused. — '''<font color="blue">]</font><font color="green">]</font>''' 13:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)</s> | |||

| :::::After talking on IRC with ], we've determined that it would probably be better to give this WikiProject a few weeks to see if it can make it on its own before making it a subproject or taskforce. And I think that making a ] (Encyclopediae?) might be more fitting than one for Wikis as a lot of articles under this WikiProject wouldn't fit under the scope of something ]-related articles. There's a lot of encyclopedia-related articles, possibly more than those for wikis. — '''<font color="blue">]</font><font color="green">]</font>''' 14:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

New article: Disputes on Misplaced Pages
There's a new article about Disputes on Misplaced Pages, i.e., content and conduct disputes among Misplaced Pages users, along with dispute resolution efforts. The article is mostly building up from academic research -- more than a dozen so far, though there are dozens of earlier studies that could be included.
To avoid arbitrarily selecting from Misplaced Pages as a source, it'd be great to have external Reliable Sources that cover the history of key WP disputes (such as the List of edit wars on Misplaced Pages) or describe the history and processes of dispute resolution efforts. Thanks. ProfGray (talk) 04:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
