note re wikiproject efforts and updates
Hi, thanks for noticing what i've been doing ^_^
Not many Wikipedia editors are doing what I am doing because the majority of them focus on the main page only, but very rarely in the 'maintenance' pages, such as categories and templates and their related talk pages, thus the WikiProject tagging. So yeah, usually I will look into the topic on what's best to classify them into what WikiProject, because some of WikiProjects are overlapping or redundant, and many of them have become inactive or even defunct.
As for WikiProject History, since I think that topic is really wide, so I shall keep it as the last WikiProject tagging. If there are any more specific WikiProjects, then I think we shall use that one first, e.g. WikiProject Women's history or WikiProject Military history. Except then the article/category/template is (let's say) History of Japan, then that is straight away WikiProject Japan and WikiProject History tagging. If anything related to years (e.g. 1995 in China), then I would tag WikiProject Years and WikiProject China. If there is any past event, I would focus to tag them on the topic and location, e.g. Brazil World Cup, I would tag WikiProject Football and WikiProject Brazil, although that event has passed and way in history. So I think the definition and scope of history in WikiProject History is quite flexible. Chongkian (talk) 12:05, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
