- For each article, complete this to do list:
- Bold the article title, if necessary. Note that certain phrases, and "list of X" titles, do not need to be bolded. See Article Mechanics.
- Remove all unused (red) templates, category tags, images, and interwiki links. It might be a good idea to copy the templates and images to the talk page for people to reinsert later. Please don't remove links to nonexistent articles (unless you feel moved to work on the article: removing such links isn't part of the "assignment").
- Add appropriate workgroup category tag(s). Please use only the workgroup categories listed under CZ:Workgroups. (Note, this page is linked on the left sidebar as "Workgroups".) If you think there needs to be a new workgroup created in addition to one that you've placed an article into, then when you fill out the checklist, simply specify:
cat_check = y. Also, add "Category:Needs Workgroup" (capitalization important) if, and only if there are no suitable workgroups for an article. - Add Category:Topic Informant Workgroup if an article is a biography of a living person, profile of a company, group, etc.--essentially, any article that concerns an existing nonpolitical entity with legal interests.
- Add (or remove) the CZ Live tag as appropriate. An externally-sourced (e.g., Wikipedia) article is "CZ Live" only if there have been at least three important changes in three different places to the wording of an article. The following are not significant changes: removing unused templates, etc.; spelling and minor rewording; deletions. Note that any new article, even if a stub, is automatically "CZ Live". Note: you might wonder if Category:CZ Live is necessary, since we will be constructing Category:Internal Articles. Perhaps--but we should not remove Category:CZ Live or even stop from maintaining it well, until after we have created Category:Internal Articles as its replacement--which means, not until we have added The Article Checklist to all of our articles.
- Check the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box if any part of the article is sourced from Wikipedia. NOTE: if, for whatever reason, this is the only edit that you want to make to an article, you have to make some small edit in the article text box as well (e.g., add a space at the end of a line--it won't show up). Otherwise your checkbox change won't be saved. Do look at the bottom of the page that there's a link to Wikipedia.
