:''This WikiProject is about articles on databases. For the project about Wikipedia database analysis, see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Database analysis]]''

Welcome to '''WikiProject Databases''', a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] to assemble and compile a comprehensive '''Database reference''' for Wikipedia. This involves creating, organizing, editing, and improving articles related to [[database|databases]].

If you are interested in contributing, add yourself to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Databases#Participants|Participants list]] below. Keep in touch with project developments by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Databases&action=watch clicking here] to add [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Databases]] to your [[meta:Help:Watching pages|watchlist]], and get involved on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]].'':

==Scope==

This project covers all aspects of databases, including (but not limited to) logical design methodologies, query languages, storage systems, physical design, administration, and security.  The information currently available on Wikipedia concerning this important, far-reaching, topic requires the talents of all available subject-matter experts, writers, editors, and those with organizational skills.

==Goals==
The ultimate aim of this [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] is to create a comprehensive '''Database reference''' for Wikipedia. As a result, the scope of the project includes all articles in the area of [[Database|databases]], although there is likely to be some overlap with articles in areas such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics|mathematics]], [[Logic|logic]], and [[Software engineering|software engineering]] as well. The specific goals of the project are to:
* Discover and tag '''all''' database-related articles with the {{[[Template:WPDATABASE|WPDATABASE]]}} banner.
* Split, merge, delete, and create articles as needed to build a useful and comprehensive body of knowledge.
* Develop individual database articles to the highest-possible standard.
** Make all database articles [[Wikipedia:Make technical articles accessible|accessible]].
** Work towards [[Wikipedia:Featured Article|featured article]] status for database articles.
* Build a community of interest around databases.

== Restructure proposals ==

Please boldly edit, or [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Databases#Restructure_proposal|discuss on talk page]].

=== Option 1: Task force in computing ===

==== Phase 1 ====

# Modify {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}:
#* Add a Databases task force, accessed with <code>databases=yes</code>
#* Make it so <code>science=auto</code> adds the article to WPCS, and also to {{cl|Automatically assessed Database articles}}
# Get help from a bot to replace <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Databases}}</nowiki></code> (and synonyms used) with <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Computing|databases=yes|science=auto}}</nowiki></code>.
#* If the talk page already transcludes {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}, add <code>|science=auto|databases=yes</code>
#* Set <code>|database-importance=</code> with the value of <code>importance=</code> in the Databases template, if present.
#* If <code>|science-importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computer-science-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
#*If <code>|importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computing-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
# Move this page to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Databases task force]]

==== Phase 2 ====

# Review the ~600 automatically tagged articles in {{cl|Automatically assessed Database articles}} and change <code>science=auto</code> to <code>science=yes</code> if they need to stay in WPCS, and remove it otherwise.
# Delete {{tl|WikiProject Databases}}
# Rename subcategories of {{cl|WikiProject Databases}} and update {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} accordingly.
# Delete {{cl|WikiProject Databases}}.

=== Option 2: Task force in computing and CS ===

==== Phase 1 ====

# Create [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer Science/Database theory task force]].
# Modify {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}:
#* Add a Databases task force, accessed with <code>databases=yes</code>
#* Add a Database theory task force parameter, accessed with <code>database-theory=yes</code>, which adds the article to [[WP:WPCS]] and to its new database theory task force
#* <code>database-theory=auto</code> should do the same, and also add the article to {{cl|Automatically assessed database theory articles}}
# Modify {{tl|WikiProject Computer science}}:
#* Add a Database theory task force parameter, accessed with <code>database-theory=yes</code>
# Get help from a bot to replace <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Databases}}</nowiki></code> (and synonyms used) with <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Computing|databases=yes|database-theory=auto}}</nowiki></code>.
#* If the talk page already transcludes {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}, add <code>|database-theory=auto|databases=yes</code>
#* Set <code>|database-importance=</code> and<code>|database-theory-importance</code> with the value of <code>importance=</code> in the Databases template, if present.
#* If <code>|science-importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computer-science-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
#*If <code>|importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computing-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
# Move this page to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Databases task force]]

==== Phase 2 ====

# Review the articles the bot skipped – those which are still listed in [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WikiProject Databases]]. Manually remove <nowiki><code>{{databases}}</code></nowiki> and add <code>databases=yes|database-importance=??</code> or <code>databases=yes|database-importance=??</code> into the existing computing banner
# Review the ~600 automatically tagged articles in {{cl|Automatically assessed database theory articles}} and change <code>database-theory=auto</code> to <code>database-theory=yes</code> if they need to stay in WPCS, and remove it otherwise.
# Delete {{tl|WikiProject Databases}}
# Rename subcategories of {{cl|WikiProject Databases}} and update {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} accordingly.
# Delete {{cl|WikiProject Databases}}.

=== Option 3: Task force in computing, with automatic intersection for database-related CS articles ===

==== Phase 1 ====

# Modify {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}:
#* Add a Databases task force, accessed with <code>databases=yes</code>, which adds the articles to {{cl|All Database articles}}
#* Make it so <code>science=auto</code> adds the article to WPCS, and also to {{cl|Automatically assessed Database articles}}
#* Make it add articles with <code>databases=yes|science=yes</code> to {{cl|All database-related computer science articles}}
# Modify {{tl|WikiProject Computer science}}:
#* Add a Databases task force, accessed with <code>databases=yes</code>
#* Make it add articles with <code>databases=yes</code> to {{cl|All database-related computer science articles}} and {{cl|All Database articles}}
# Get help from a bot to replace <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Databases}}</nowiki></code> (and synonyms used) with <code><nowiki>{{WikiProject Computing|databases=yes|science=auto}}</nowiki></code>.
#* If the talk page already transcludes {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}, add <code>|science=auto|databases=yes</code>
#* Set <code>|database-importance=</code> with the value of <code>importance=</code> in the Databases template, if present.
#* If <code>|science-importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computer-science-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
#*If <code>|importance=</code> is not in the existing WP Comp template, set it with the value of <code>|computing-importance=</code> in the Databases template if present.
# Move this page to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Databases task force]]

==== Phase 2 ====

# Review the ~600 automatically tagged articles in {{cl|Automatically assessed Database articles}} and change <code>science=auto</code> to <code>science=yes</code> if they need to stay in WPCS, and remove it otherwise.
# Delete {{tl|WikiProject Databases}}
# Rename subcategories of {{cl|WikiProject Databases}} and update {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} accordingly.
# Delete {{cl|WikiProject Databases}}.
