A department is a segregation of members according to their specific specialities. Tasks include authoring, maintaining the project pages, administering portals, adding articles, participating in reviews, managing the project and so on. The following is a list of departments within the WikiProject. WikiProject Members may not necessarily do only departmental tasks. They can contribute content as a member of a work group as well.

Assessment

[edit]

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Pakistani articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WP Pakistan}} template project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist. If you find a Pakistan-related article without our template, please place the mentioned template at the top of the respective talk pages like this.

{{WP Pakistan|class=|importance=|attention=yes/no}}

You can also add this to the talk page of images, categories, and templates.

Cartography

[edit]

The cartography department aims to create a collection of high-quality maps for use in Pakistani articles. The department gathers existing public domain and free-license maps as well as creating new ones from other materials where no suitable maps can be found. All project members are welcome to request additional maps that may be needed for particular articles from the department.

Collaboration

[edit]

The Pakistani Collaboration of the week seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every week, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards.

Any articles dealing with some aspect of Pakistan (except for current featured articles and featured article candidates) are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.

Outreach

[edit]

The outreach department guides its members on strengthening the sense of community in this project. Members' tasks include welcoming new members in the project, helping other editors in the project, managing the newsletters and helping the general project community to be in touch.

Peer Review

[edit]

The peer review department conducts peer reviews of Pakistan-related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.

Photography

[edit]

The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in Pakistani articles.

Counter-vandalism

[edit]

The aim of Counter-vandalism department is to keep an eye on vandalism on Pakistan-related articles.
