[edit] How to make a new project

Create a new article in the Guild Wars Wiki namespace which has the name of your project. For instance, if you wanted to make a project to update the Armor gallery, you could make the article "Guild Wars Wiki:Projects/Armor gallery project".

The project page itself should be clear on what the project is trying to achieve. It may include things like:

• An overview of what the project aims to do.
• A detailed to-do list for the project.

Once the project page is ready, remember to add it to the list of current projects above and to Category:Projects with the appropriate sort key (e.g. [[Category:Projects|Armor gallery project]]).
