Outreach

File:Help-browser.png Outreach (Articles) If you find desert-related articles that need attention, use the stub box to keep track of them. (see instructions) {{Desert-stub}} {{topography-stub}} Place {{Expand|date=???}} on the top of the article needing content expansion. For a specific section of the article, place {{Expand section}} on the top of that section. You can add {{cleanup|date=???}} banner on the top of articles that require cleaning up. If you find a desert-related article without the project banner on its talk page, add {{Template:WikiProject Deserts}} on top of the talk page. (see instructions) Avoid clustering of banners on a talk page by using {{WikiProjectBanners}}. If you find an article on a desert without an infobox, add {{Infobox desert}} at the top of that article. (see instructions) Add {{Reqinfobox}} to talk page of the article to requiring an infobox. To request images: Add {{Reqmap}} on the talk page of the article requiring a map. Add {{Image requested}} on the talk page of the article requiring a photograph. If you find a desert-related article without a navbox, add {{Deserts}} at the end of that article. (see instructions) File:Im-aim.png Outreach (Participants) You can invite other Wikipedians by placing {{subst:WP Deserts Invite}} on their talk page. (see instructions first) You can welcome new members by placing {{subst:WP Deserts Welcome}} on their talk page.
