[edit] Scope

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.

Jask99 (talk • contribs), joined 31 January 2007 - I keep bumping into these all over the place and figure it's better to help than not
Elizabennet | talk 16:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC) - I've been helping out, especially with adding the {{infobox_short_story}}. I'm kind of an infobox maniac. They're just so organized!
Midnightdreary (talk • contribs), joined 15 February 2007 - I've been working on Edgar Allan Poe stories
María: (habla conmigo) 18:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC) - Very interested in tagging and copy-editing
23skidoo - I've been a member of the main WikiProject Novels for awhile now and I didn't realize there was a separate participants list for the SS task force so I'm adding my name. Most of my short story involvement is related to books in the Simon Templar and James Bond series, but I touch on others, too. 23skidoo 18:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging articles

Any article related to this task force should be marked with "short-story-task-force=yes" to the {{NovelsWikiProject}} 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:

{{NovelsWikiProject
|class=
|importance=
|short-story-task-force=yes
}}

[edit] To-do

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!
