Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Template:WikiProject status {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/header}}
- This WikiProject was originally intended for individual artists, but has since been expanded to include musical groups as well. This aspect of the project is currently in progress.
Template:WikiProject progression rainbow Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Musicians and Musical ensembles/Bands. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians in writing/editing articles related to this subject. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or check out the to-do list. Script error: No such module "Portal". User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription
Overview
Scope
The purpose of this project is to provide guidelines for Wikipedia articles regarding musicians. This can cover everything from visual style and formatting to content and organization. All articles need not be identical, and there is obviously a wide variety of information which may be appropriate to some articles and not to others. The goal is to make it easier for Wikipedians to create high quality articles related to this subject matter, and also to make it easier for readers of these articles to find relevant information in consistent format and location.
This project will also participate in the categorization of related pages in order to make it even easier to find relevant related information.

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Sidebar}}
Assessment guidelines
Rate the articles according to the 1.0 Assessment guidelines. See Category:Unassessed biography (musicians) articles for articles that need a rating. You can also request an assessment.
Conversion
The purpose of this sub project is to find articles related to this subject and edit them so as to comply with the guidelines set forth by this project.
Categorization
This sub project is aimed at classifying related articles in a logical and consistent manner, the idea being to make it easier to find articles related to a certain subject matter.
Stub sorting
Help organize and label musician-related stubs with the correct stub template.
Current collaboration
This is similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale. Every so often, members of the project select a single article—existing or not—on which to focus some of our combined efforts. This involves not just fixing up the article to match the guidelines of the project, but also doing any necessary research and resource gathering for the article, including finding usable images or other media.
The Current collaboration is: non selected
This collaboration began:
Article structure
For the time being, the chief focus of this wikiproject is to establish itself by defining a solid set of guidelines for related articles to use. All are encouraged to participate in this endeavor by reviewing the existing guidelines and discussing them on the article guidelines page. Both positive and negative constructive criticism are highly welcomed, but please discuss changes prior to making them. This includes changes to existing guidelines, removal of existing guidelines, and addition of new guidelines.
Contributing
Adding articles
It only takes one very simple step to add an article to the project:
- Add the following code to the top of the talk page. This should not be underneath a section header.
{{WikiProject Biography
| living =
| class =
| listas =
| musician-work-group = yes
| musician-priority =
| attention =
| needs-photo =
| needs-infobox =
| needs-discography =
}}
This template includes articles in Template:Category link/core allows us to track articles in the project so as to better gauge the progress of the project and to find articles that need work done (please use piped category links to sort articles by artist's last name). The Template:Tl template informs others about the project to potentially inspire new contributors to the project, and also to hopefully prevent some unnecessary and inadvertent deviation from the project's guidelines which the editor may not even be aware of.
You can also feel free to add a link to the page under either "Recently added" or "New articles", which ever is appropriate. This will allow others to see what's new with the project and likely quicken the process of getting the article edited to meet guidelines.
What to add
The above method for adding articles to the project should only be used for articles that specifically pertain to the subject matter of this project, i.e., a specific musician. Articles that more generally relate to the project, for instance musician should not be added to Template:Category link/core and should not have Template:Tl added to their talk page. For articles such as these, please see the section entitled "Other related articles".
Articles need not comply exactly with the standards of the project in order to be added, in fact, they don't need to comply at all. Adding a non-compliant article will make it that much more likely that someone involved in the project will find it and fix it up. For more information on non-compliant articles, see "Articles in need of attention".
Pages that are involved more in the administrative aspect of this project, e.g. subprojects' pages, lists, templates, etc., also should not be added to Template:Category link/core or include Template:Tl. Instead, these pages should be added to Template:Category link/core.
Who to add
This project aims to improve articles of all musical performers. This includes:
- Solo artists
- Bands
- Individual band members
- Composers
- Writers
- Instrumentalists
- Ensembles
Editing project articles
Articles already part of this project are still open to editing, and there's no special procedure for doing so. Remember, a lot of articles are added to the project without any compliance to the project guidelines. Don't feel like you need to completely fix up an article when you edit it; even a small edit that follows the project is better than none. If you have completely fixed a page to meet the guidelines, go ahead and add it as a candidate for the Showcase, or even as a Featured candidate.
Not sure what articles to edit? Keep reading...
Articles in need of attention
Template:Category link/core has been created in order to better keep track of what articles need what work. Set attention equal to yes in Template:Tl (see code below) in order to add it to Template:Category link/core:
{{WikiProject Biography
| living =
| class =
| listas =
| musician-work-group = yes
| musician-priority =
| attention = yes
| needs-photo =
| needs-infobox =
| needs-discography =
}}
- If the article needs a photo, set needs-photo= yes.
- If the article needs an infobox, set needs-infobox = yes.
- If the article needs a discography, set needs-discography= yes.
If you have edited an article and believe that it no longer needs work, you should remove the Template:Para parameter from the banner. Do not delete any of the entries on the talk page related to the work (or any, for that matter), and make sure it has the two items listed under "Adding articles". In addition, fixed articles should be added to the list of Recently fixed articles along with your date-stamped signature (four tildes, ~~~~). This will allow others to review the work (no one's perfect) and make sure all the original issues have been resolved.

The Arts and Entertainment Work Group – Musicians is a working group of members of the Biography WikiProject dedicated to ensuring quality and coverage of biography articles.
Since biographies are potentially under the purview of almost all WikiProjects, it is important that we work in tandem with these projects. Also, when seeking collaboration on articles, don't neglect to approach WikiProjects that are part of the geographical region your subject is/was in. Some musicians have WikiProjects dedicated to them and these WikiProjects generally consider themselves responsible for the biographical articles within their scope.
