<div width="100%" style="background-color:#F9F9F9; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; text-align: left; padding: 10px;border-radius:10px">'''Subject structure and navigation'''{{-}}Refine and maintain the ''[[Outline of Mexico]]'', a key guide on Wikipedia to [[Mexico]] as a subject. It serves as a table of contents, summary, and ''topic outline'' of coverage on the political entity [[Mexico]] and is the most useful tool on Wikipedia for exploring and understanding fundamental material about Mexico (and how it fits together) on Wikipedia.  Its purpose is an important one:  it simply enables readers to see at a glance how the subject of Mexico is broken down, what the component topics are, and how they relate to each other - that is, how information on Mexico is organized (here, and in the world-at-large).  It is a site map and outline of knowledge that demystifies the subject known as  "Mexico".  Because of its central role in the presentation of Wikipedia's coverage of this subject, it is very important to develop and maintain it to the highest level of quality: to help readers improve their conceptual awareness and understanding of Mexico as well as find their way around this subject on Wikipedia.  For examples of other pages in this set, see [[Outline of France]], ''[[Outline of Thailand]]'', ''[[Outline of Japan]]'', ''[[Outline of Taiwan]]'', and ''[[Outline of Iceland]]'', all of which are currently completed to a higher level of quality than this page. In other words, it's getting its ass kicked: the ''[[Outline of Mexico]]'' is incomplete, needs your editing contributions, and is especially in need of maps and pictures.</div>

===Mexico articles by quality statistics===
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Mexico articles by quality statistics}}
| style="vertical-align:top;" |

===General strategy===
#Bring our identified core topic articles (about 160) up to an agreed standard of quality.  This work is coordinated through the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics/Core topics COTF|COTF]].
#Add a further list of "key topics" which includes many more specific subjects (important historical figures, etc.), as discussed [[Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics|here]].
#Integrate suitable [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/FAs first|featured articles]] and the key quality articles identified by our contacts with WikiProjects into the core or key lists.
#Organize the articles in a coherent way, and identify any significant missing topics or articles needing urgent review. Integrate articles with suitable support material (lists, etc.).
#Identify any possible publication problems, agree on suitable publishers, pricing, media.
#Issue a final list of articles for publication.  Ideally these would be reviewed by subject experts, and validated versions identified before publication and publish, on DVD, CD, paper or some combination.

===Discussion forums===
*[[/Terminology]]: Discussion forum for terminology and translation issues. For example: ministers or secretaries? Federal deputies or congressmen? ''¿El jefe delegacional en Álvaro Obregón?''
*[[/Strategy]]: Strategy and structure. For policy discussions on how to title articles, how to categorise, etc.
*[[/Community]]: Noticeboard for editors interested in Mexican articles. Basically, a community forum: use it to list articles you'd like other participants to take a look at or get a second opinion on, call attention to content disputes, post alerts, or advertise your willingness to meet up in (e.g.) Acapulco next month.

===Usage of terms related to Aztec and other Mesoamerican cultures===
*Please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mesoamerica/Guidelines]] for terminology conventions and editing guidelines relevant to Mesoamerica-related general and specific content. Alternatively, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Aztec/Terminology]] for current consensus and discussion on usage related to Aztec terminology in particular.

===Naming conventions===
'''States names'''
* [[Mexican state]]s are located at "Statename". See earlier discussion at ''[[Talk:States of Mexico]]''. Example: [[Baja California]], [[Jalisco]].
* If the state name is not the primary topic, then the article name is "Statename (state)". Example: [[Chihuahua (state)]], [[Hidalgo (state)]].

'''Municipalities names'''
* Municipalities are at their base name if not ambiguous and merged with their homonymous cities and towns.{{Ref label|note_a1|A|}} Example [[Atizapán de Zaragoza]].
* For municipalities whose homonymous cities and towns are split, it is "Municipalityname Municipality" or "Municipalityname (municipality)" only if disambiguation is needed. Example: [[Acapulco (municipality)]], [[Zitlala Municipality]].
* If further disambiguation is needed, it is "Municipalityname (statename), Statename" or "Municipalityname Municipality, Statename". Example: [[La Paz Municipality, Baja California Sur]], [[Aldama Municipality, Tamaulipas]].

'''Cities and town names'''
* Cities and town articles are at their base name.{{Ref label|note_a1|A|}}  Example: [[Hermosillo]], [[Coatzacoalcos]].
* If disambiguation with another city (Mexican or foreign) is needed, use the "Cityname, Statename" format: [[Nogales, Sonora]], [[Nogales, Veracruz]], [[Nogales, Arizona]].
* If a state and a city share a name, use the "Cityname (city)" or "Cityname City". Example: [[Veracruz (city)]] and [[Veracruz]] or [[San Luis Potosí City]] and [[San Luis Potosí]].
* If ambiguity might exist because of other uses within the same state, use "Townname, Municipalityname": [[Buenavista, Tultitlán]]
* In the rare event two or more cities or towns are located within a state, use "Town, Municipality": [[Acalmani, Ayutla de los Libres]] and [[Acalmani, Igualapa]]. You can further disambiguate with "Townname, Municipalityname, Statename" if there are other uses of that term outside that state.

'''Notes'''
*For ease of linking, unnecessary disambiguation links can be created: [[Aguascalientes (state)]], [[Ecatepec, Mexico]], etc.
*'''A''' {{Note|note_a1}} Sometimes cities and municipalities have independent articles ([[Matamoros, Tamaulipas]] [city] and [[Matamoros Municipality, Tamaulipas]] [municipality]).
