Welcome to WikiProject RISC OS. A number of Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of RISC OS and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, enquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
|
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
Please feel free to add yourself here, and to indicate any areas of particular interest.
Articles are added into the project by the use of the {{
WikiProject Computing}} banner on the Article's Talk page, adding in the riscos=yes
and riscos-importance=
Low/Mid/High/Top fields.
Note that the importance of an article within WikiProject RISC OS is not the same as its importance in WikiProject Computing. When assessing articles, take care not to inflate the computing importance. Most articles in this project have general computing importance=low. ( RISC OS itself has general computing importance=mid.) If you're uncomfortable assessing the general computing importance, you can leave it blank.
The following is a suggestion as to how to internally grade using the riscos-importance
parameter.
Rating | Suggestions |
---|---|
Top | RISC OS |
High | Hardware platforms, Key Companies, Key OS Components |
Mid | Key Software and Games, People, Publications, Other Companies, Other OS Components |
Low | Other Software, Games, People and Publications |

Please feel free to list your new RISC OS-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
Articles that you think should be written, please remove from the list once the article is started.
