There is an ongoing drive to improve all of the articles in List of towns and villages in Tibet. One of our goals is to add and infobox and locator map for all 800 odd places and begin adding basic encyclopedic data and transliterations. This is the infobox for settlements in Tibet.

Tibet-related articles

To tag Tibet-related articles, simply add Tibet=yes in the Template:Tl parameters, and it will display the following:

Template:WikiProject TibetScript error: No such module "WikiProject banner".

(Note that in this example the notice has been classified as "NA", so that it will not appear on the list of unassessed articles. This will not happen normally if the above code is used.)

Tibetan Buddhism articles

To tag articles focused on the religion of Tibetan Buddhism, use the template:
{{WikiProject Tibetan Buddhism | class= | importance= }} Template:WikiProject Tibetan Buddhism

Categories

We have the following categories currently:

Article Construction

Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.

We should probably discuss article types, which may have different parameters. Example types might be:

Texts

Articles on texts should include:

  • Text's title. Should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
  • Authorship, if known. If the supposed authorship of a text is not established by scholarship, list it as an attribution: "The text is attributed to such-and-such." Name or names of the author should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
  • Date
  • Place of origin (if known); should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
  • A rough overview of the contents of the text
  • Separate sections for particularly important ideas in the text. Alternatively, short descriptions and links to articles on said ideas.
  • Whatever caveats regarding disputes over readings of the text, etc.
  • Associated sect(s) (Indicate, where appropriate, whether the text originated within the sect or was adopted by it after the fact.)
  • A table of translations, like this one:
Mulamadhyakakarika
Author Title Publisher Date Notes

Inada, Kenneth K. Nagarjuna: A Translation of his Mulamadhyamakakarika With an Introductory Essay The Hokuseido Press 1970 Romanized text and translation.
