See Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Templates

Try to add a Saskatchewan or Canadian Template to each article. Where one of the above is not available use a generic topic template.

• All settlements in Saskatchewan should use {{Infobox Settlement}}. This infobox provides a consistent look between the various types settlements in Saskatchewan like Saskatoon and North Battleford and to settlements in the other parts of Canada like Toronto, Montreal, St. John's, and Edmonton. The default "settlement_type" is city, but it can be changed to reflect any type of settlement, like counties, towns, villages, etc. {{Infobox Settlement}} also has a super imposable dot map feature that allows a map to be used with any settlement in Saskatchewan.
• {{Template:Infobox road}} for example use the infobox road template for your new Saskatchewan Road article creations.

• Newsletter archives and future issues: WP Sask Outreach
• New Articles

Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/January 2025

To get an article to featured article status, make sure to follow these steps to ensure all articles we submit to Featured article candidates meet the FA criteria. All of these apply to almost any good article, so keep them in mind when editing even outside of Saskatchewan articles. The suggestions are:

1. Expand articles listed in:

1a. *Category:Saskatchewan stubs

1b. *Category:Saskatchewan geography stubs

2. Organize list structure and add to list of needed articles:

2a.*WikiProject Saskatchewan/Article requests

3. Check for and do needed articles at:

3a.*WikiProject Saskatchewan/Article requests

3b. Establish collaborations and improvements for Saskatchewan related articles

4. Photo Requests. For Saskatchewan-related articles needing a photograph, use {{Image requested|in=Saskatchewan}} in the talk page, which adds the article needing a photo to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Saskatchewan. You can help Wikipedia by uploading freely licensed photographs for these articles to Wikimedia Commons.

The Free Image Search Tool may be able to locate suitable images on other web sites.

The Image Existence Checker shows articles in this list that have images.

.

5. Map Requests. Use {{reqmapin|Saskatchewan}} on talk page of articles needing maps which will list maps needed at: Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Saskatchewan. Use the coordinates map template and one of the options for either degree, minutes and seconds or decimal latitude and longitude.

• There has been a Location map for Saskatchewan created. Just enter the placename and longitude and latitude and the marker will identify the location on the Saskatchewan map. See Simpson and Location map options and instructions for an example of its use.

6. Update census demographic information to the 2006 Census version on community pages and remove {{Template:Update}}. This is a template for this; just modify the appropriate variables for the community profile in question. {{Canada_CP_2006|pop=206,900|popDelta=+1.6%|landArea=176.6|popDensity=1,326.8|medianAge=34.3|medianAgeM=33.1|medianAgeF=35.5|privateDwell=84,281|medianHHIncome=41,991}}

7. Review existing assessment of articles and reassess following Assessment guidelines. Clarify assessment criteria at Assessment guidelines

8. Place banners on talk pages and rate Saskatchewan articles via the banner placed upon the article's talk page template in this way: {{WikiProject Canada|class= |importance= | sk=yes }} For more information see the Saskatchewan wikiproject Assessment page.

9. Articles which contain the word Saskatchewan or are Saskatchewan related which have error template tags on them. To Do listing Please clean up articles, remove tag, and remove from both lists on page.

10. Here are some of the many SK categories (drill to sub and parent categories as well) where you can look for untagged articles and articles to expand:
