Okay, I started this page to help focus building the information on here about Ontario, I have modelled it after some similar projects and hopefully some of you will pick it up from here! user:blacknail 19:31, 7 September 2005
I'm interested in developing the articles pertaining to the Rainy River District, I'd certainly need some help as I'm not too familiar with the formatting used.-- Picard102 16:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm not currently a participant in this project (is it still alive?) but I have noticed a significant number of Ontario-related articles now include a Demographics section. While I guess this information is relevant to some, I have a few issues with how it's being done:
Thoughts? Ideally I'd love to hear from the two anonymous contributors, as it's obvious they've put a lot of work into tabulating this information. -- Darthsco 20:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I hear ya, I'm having a similiar problem in the Hamilton, Ontario article where an editor wants to include figures that have no cited source and are not in the 2001 census. It doesn't seem useful to me to give a discussion on demographics in an article as they are frequently changing, easily linked to on a statscan site and tend to produce a lot of debate over accuracy and under representation. I know one fellow was calling them rascist on the talk page. Your thoughts? Alan.ca 10:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I recently created this article, I think it would be great if someone could take a look over and offer suggestions for improvement. I think there's still lots to do here and the redlinks indicate more articles that could be created. Thanks Matt 01:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Tito xd( ?!? - help us) 18:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Provincial Stub Proposals - Should templates and stub categories be created for Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland & Labrador? (See related SFD discussion regarding N.B., PEI, and Manitoba (plus the territories)). Agent 86 02:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the "Western Ontario" stub, the official name for this part of the province is "Southwestern Ontario". Western Ontario is an outdated name partly because it can be confused with Northwestern Ontario. I think the name of the stub should be changed. Jc8025 19:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I wrighte article about Kristen on cs.wikipedia, but I am frustrated from to small part of article, which is related to her life befor kidnaping.

If you have (solid) newpapers with this or tape with this, contact me, please.
The second problem: I need Image for article. On internet are many Images ( 1, 2, but I am afraid to be thinking about copyright od this Images is works for very crazzy men. And If You have Image PD or GFDL, please, I need it_ :-).
After all, These things will be good for these article to. If you will improve en: article, I'll improve cs: article too... :-). Cinik 18:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 18:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
The referenced project has been linked to Regional Municipality of York, Ontario, not a bad thing in itself but when I checked the project page, my concern began. The author seems to want to compartmentalize York Region's road network, which I think is ill-advised since roads are built to connect municipalities. Any opinions on how, or whether, to address this? PKT 02:45, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
We could really use some help at the Hamilton, Ontario article. Does this project have a peer review process or would someone advise where we should start? Alan.ca 10:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Last week, I discovered that the stub entry for downtown Hamilton's historic MacNab Street Presbyterian Church (Hamilton) was given the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bayside Community Church nomination, in a "Mass Afd" centering on a number of Churches...I don't have the time at present to expand the stub, but if anyone has any input for the Afd (preferably KEEP), be aware this Hamilton feature is in limbo!!

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I just realized that Category:GTA was resurrected, despite having been deleted in July. It is poorly populated (again). Do we need it? If so, I'm concerned that it doesn't seem to have any structure, and would strongly recommend that it should sort of adopt the existing categories for Toronto, York, Durham, Peel, Halton, etc. as its subcategories. If we don't need it, let's have it deleted. Opinions? PKT 17:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Greetings! I come under the auspices of WikiProject Abandoned Articles, a project designed to bring abandoned articles that have not been edited for a number of years back to life. One such is Julia Munro, which by the looks of things seems to have a lot of outdated information, as well as not being perticularly informative. So if anybody would be able to spare some time, knowledge and expertise in bringing it back to life and expanding on it, it would be much appreciated. Lord Pheasant 05:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Like the other provinces, this project's template has been merged with the {{ WikiProject Canada}} template. You can now tag articles talk pages with {{WikiProject Canada | on=yes}}. This will allow you to assess articles using class= and importance=.

There is a request to rename Parliament Hill because a place called Parliament Hill, London is named after a girls school Parliament Hill School, and the nominator says the London hill is quite famous. 132.205.99.122 ( talk) 19:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I've mentioned this already at the main CWNB, but I wanted to mention it here as well. Because we still have a lot of redlinked gaps and very brief stubs about Ontario geographic topics, I've begun a slightly different practice for articles on unincorporated communities within larger municipalities than we've tended to use in the past. Essentially, for smaller communities which are either (a) still redlinks, or (b) only one-or-two line stubs identifying the topic as a community within Township of Whateverville but giving no other verifiable and properly sourced information about the community, I've begun redirecting them to the municipality's article if the municipality's article is also still a stub or a redlink.
For example, Utterson is now a redirect to Huntsville, and Verschoyle is a redirect to South-West Oxford. And since Desbarats had a stub article but the actual township of Johnson was still a redlink, I moved the article to Johnson in the meantime since an article on the incorporated municipality really should have come first.
However, I do not follow this practice if either the smaller community or the parent municipality already has a substantial article. And, of course, an unincorporated community that isn't part of any municipality (e.g. Nolalu or Estaire) remains a standalone, regardless of length, since there isn't an appropriate parent article to redirect it to.
Note, of course, that the existence of a redirect is not a permanent ban on the community ever having its own separate article, but we should use redirects rather than one-line stubs until such time as the parent municipality's article is actually long and detailed enough that it's worth dividing it into multiple articles. Bearcat ( talk) 01:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not a part of this particular project, but through interaction with another editor I've come in contact with some Ontario articles. I wanted to suggest that the project see about going through Category:Western_Ontario_geography_stubs and make sure all the articles are tagged? None of the ones I saw were except a few I tagged last night to get them under the project's scope for much needed clean up and expansion. AnmaFinotera ( talk) 19:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I have flagged KDSL as "not notable" twice and each time an anonymous editor has removed this flag without explanation. Fair enough, maybe he knows something I don't know.

The articles Ottawa Valley Twang, Elizabeth Cowper, York Regional Road 21, Toronto-Montreal rivalry, Holy Trinity Catholic High School (Simcoe), Central Student Association, Friends of Fiddler's Green, Kelly Meighen, and Society of Graduate and Professional Students at Queen's University are all Ontario related articles which have been tagged with notability issues.

In the article "Algoma Steel", there is no mention of its nationalization under the NDP government of Ontario.

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Hello all...
An image used in the article, specifically File:Milliken GO Station.JPG, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Ontario articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Hello! For 2011 the Wine Project is doing a new
Wine Improvement Drive where each month we focus on an area of articles that relate to a particular theme. In January, we are are ringing in the New Year with
New World wine, with a focus on the wines of the Northern Hemisphere-
Canadian wine,
American wine and
Mexican wine. I am going by related projects to see if there is any interest in collaboration between this project and the wine project on the subject of Ontario wine? Some suggestion on potential article creations include
History of Ontario wine, the Ontario related red links on
Vintners Quality Alliance as well as individual appellation articles such as
Pelee Island VQA (similar to the
American Viticultural Areas where each wine region gets its own article) that are featured in
Ontario_wine#Growing_regions. On a smaller scale, there are Ontario wine related articles that could use some help with clean up (such as
Henry of Pelham Winery and
Jackson-Triggs) or expanding beyond a stub such as the
Vidal Blanc grape which is the source so many delicious Canadian Icewines. And, of course, of HUGE help would be the upload of free use photos of Ontario wineries, wines and wine regions to Commons that could be used to better illustrate Ontario wine articles. If you're interested in helping, please drop a note at the
Wine Project's talk page with the article you're interested in helping with. Thanks and have a great New Year!

While the terms involving the 'tiers' (single-tier, upper-tier, lower-tier) are much favoured by AMO and the Ontario Ministries, can we avoid using them? 'Unitary authority' and 'two-level system/configuration' are much clearer. The term 'unitary authority' would capture both merged municipalities like Kawartha Lakes, and administratively separate (independent) cities like Windsor.
Also can we discard the term 'separated municipality', referring to these instead as 'independent cities'? It makes their relationship to the county clearer.
Finally, the City of Brantford is described as a 'single-tier municipality', but it's more accurately described as a independent city. Yes, the County of Brant which it left is unitary, but saying Brantford is somehow different from other independent cities is misleading. Particularlystatic ( talk) 06:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
There's a new editor, User:Louve101, who seems to be interested in Oakville, Ontario and has created multiple articles about the neigbourhoods of the town which are unsourced, and likely not to meet notability. I don't want to discourage enthusiasm, but there's a high likelihood that his work to date will get either redirected or deleted. I think he needs some guidance. I've left a message on his talk page. I was wondering if somebody in this wikiproject might be able to provide some guidance and steer him in the right direction. (cross-posted to WikiProject Ontario) Regards. -- Whpq ( talk) 03:25, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Ontario will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Ontario's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch ( talk) 23:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

This section of this list article needs cleanup.

Hello, this is my first time visiting WikiProject Ontario. I am wondering why your page has a geography section, but no equivalent history section. I am working on an article about the Ontario Genealogical Society. I know that there are a number of other organizations in Ontario dedicated to preserving Ontario's history, such as the Ontario Historical Society, the Ontario Heritage Trust, the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, Community Heritage Ontario, to name a few. There are plenty of articles on Wikipedia about historical events in Ontario that could benefit from being supported by a project. Is there another project that covers this type of thing? This has probably been brought up before, so if it's an old discussion just ignore this. — Anne Delong ( talk) 19:19, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
An editor added numerous categories to many Ontario highway articles. While I feel it is beneficial categorically to be able to find a route listed in the Transportation in X category, some articles are overloaded with categories. For example, Ontario Highway 2 has 19 of these categories... and that only covers some of the cities along the route!
So what's the solution in your opinion? - Floydian τ ¢ 08:14, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
I've been sweeping across the country implementing WP:CANSTYLE#Infoboxes, which states all city articles should use the "name", "official_name" and "settlement_type" parameters in their infoboxes. Determining a format for presenting the "settlement_type" parameter in Ontario has proven somewhat problematic due to Ontario's unconventional system of municipality statuses. In Ontario, we have the overarching "tier" municipal statuses (i.e., single-tier, lower-tier and upper-tier) and a set of more "conventional" municipal statuses (e.g., city, town, village, townships, etc.). Starting with Ontario's cities and referring to this Municipal Affairs and Housing source, I approached their infoboxes with the following wikilinked presentation format for single-tier and lower-tier cities:
Despite the above being factual and accurate, the presentation format has met some resistance. I therefore ask the Ontario WikiProject community to help determine a preferred format. Here are some options:
|
|
|
|
* Note for Options 1, 2 and 3: we can drop the word "municipality" to shorten. e.g., Single-tier ( city), City ( single-tier) or Single-tier
** Note for Option 4: if we abandon tier, we should also abandon other ways of inferring tier. i.e., no more usage of Independent city
Looking forward to the community determining a standard format. If we can come to a consensus, maybe we can update WP:CANSTYLE#Infoboxes to explicitly state how to approach the "settlement_type" parameter for Ontario articles. Cheers, Hwy43 ( talk) 05:54, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Therefore, my preference is Option 2 as it is reflective of both municipal statuses, and the embedded wikilinks (particularly for the tiers) explain to readers what they mean if clicked. It places the "conventional" status first, which is what most readers would expect based on what they've seen for articles outside Ontario, and reflects that Ontario municipalities are more commonly known by their "conventional" statuses rather than their "tier" statuses. Hwy43 ( talk) 05:54, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
It has been 10 days and it appears that there is consensus in favour of Option 2 (the only one not in favour of Option 2 was UrbanNerd, and as far as I am concerned that's a mark in favour of Option 2. Skeezix1000 ( talk) 20:09, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

I am aware there was a discussion here a few years back that led to the adoption of a province wide [City] ([Tier]) style as the settlement_type on all municipalities in the province. That discussion, however, appears to be based on the false belief that Ontario uses the three tiers (single, upper, and lower) instead of traditional terms like "city" and "town", which is not true. The tiers set out my the province have no correlation whatsoever to the type of settlement in question, they are merely a legal status. This list here even refers to them as "municipal status".
There is nothing specific with regard to population, area, density, or geography that makes any given municipality a "single", "upper", or "lower" municipality. Take the clear, contrasting example of Toronto, Ontario and Brethour, Ontario. Both Toronto and Brethour are classified as "single-tier municipalities". Toronto has a population of nearly 3,000,000 and is the largest city in Canada; Brethour has 129 permanent inhabitants. Toronto has a population density of 4,334.4/km2; Brethour's is 1.6/km2. This simple comparison demonstrates the meaninglessness of including the municipalities' tier in the settlement_type parameter. One would think the most basic purpose of having a settlement_type parameter would be to differentiate between places like Toronto and Brethour, yet it needlessly fails to do so.
MOS:Canada#Infoboxes suggests using only simple terms like "city", "municipality", "community", or "town".
-- TrailBlzr ( talk) 04:17, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
I too don't like Ontario's illogical approach to municipal status designation, but legislated municipal status is legislated municipal status and the consensus achieved respects this fact. The conventional municipal statuses no longer exist and are now simply how the municipalities in Ontario choose to brand themselves within the illogical system. We found a way to make an exception to overcome this through the use of parentheses under the current format, and it has worked for five years. Removing the factual municipal status would bring Ontario's municipalities out of consistency with municipalities across Canada, and therefore the wider Canadian WikiProject should be engaged as a result.
By the way, MOS:Canada#Infoboxes has been completely mischaracterized above to suit the proposer's argument. It actually specifically states "The settlement type field should use English-language terminology such as "city", "municipality", "community", or "town". Non-English terms such as "ville" and "communauté" should be avoided." (emphasis added) Thus, the French equivalent of lower/upper/single tier municipality must be avoided, not the municipality's actual municipal status. It is actually advancing a position on the language of the term, not the specific term to use.
Regarding the parameter itself, Template:Infobox settlement explicitly states "Any type can be entered, such as City, Town, Village, Hamlet, Municipality, Reservation, etc." And in this case, within Ontario and within Canada, a consensus has been established as to how to use this parameter when it comes to incorporated municipalities.

First, I have been told previously that [[List of cities in Ontario|City]]
is improper because readers seeing "City" in blue will click it thinking they are going to
City, yet find themselves at
List of cities in Ontario, which is unexpected and can be frustrating. Rather, I see it as helpful as the concept of "city" is widely understood already, and it is more informative to land at
List of cities in Ontario as it tells the reader what a city is in the Ontario context. Further, I see no harm done as
List of cities in Ontario links to the
City article anyway (second word in lead); it is only one more click away. I seem to recall being told it was a
MOS:SEAOFBLUE violation but my tired eyes aren't seeing it right now. If this is in fact a violation of SEAOFBLUE or something related, the same could be said for [[List of cities in Canada#Capitals|National capital]]
. Is what I have been told regarding this a "too rigid", "beyond the intent" of SEAOFBLUE (or whatever MOS standard that is actually in question here)?
Second, I have been told that a situation such as [[List of cities in Ontario|City]] ([[List of municipalities in Ontario#Single-tier municipalities|single-tier]])
, which renders as
City (
single-tier), is a SEAOFBLUE violation.
MOS:SEAOFBLUE states When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link (a "sea of blue"). Now I am observant enough to notice that the opening parenthesis between the two terms is black, which technically is a break between two blue links. So similar to my first question, is what I have been told a "too rigid", "beyond the intent" interpretation of SEAOFBLUE?
Third, as we are seeing no objections from anyone on the proposal above to solve the community's role as a "capital" concern, shall we amend WP:CANSTYLE#Infoboxes to suit what appears to be the consensus? That is, including the community's role as a capital "in addition to" the community's incorporated status for Canada's 14 capitals?

Similar to what was done with the St. John's, NL project ( discussion here) and per WP:REVIVE, I would like to consolidate some of the small-scope or abandoned projects and task forces into larger projects.

This task force in particular is for a region of less than 100k residents and has had basically no activity since 1 month after creation in 2009.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (
per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! —
