Usage
[edit]The {{WikiProject Women in Red}} template tracks pages for WikiProject Women in Red. It categorizes those pages in relevant tracking categories, which can then be used by bots to create the Article Alerts report and other similar reports like the recognized content report.
The project banner should be placed inside the banner shell with any other project banners.
Track a specific event
[edit]To keep track of articles associated with specific edit-a-thons or initiatives, add the meetup number as a parameter, e.g. {{WikiProject Women in Red|329}} or {{WIR|329}} directly on the talk page, within the WikiProject banner shell. This will produce a banner such as
| Women in Red: Internet personalities (2025) | |||
| ||||
The latest 10 events are shown in the table below:
| Meetup | Name | Date | Template |
|---|---|---|---|
| 320 | Women in archaeology | Oct 2024 | {{WIR|320}} |
| 321 | Asian women | Nov 2024 | {{WIR|321}} |
| 322 | Geofocus: Islands Q–Z | Nov 2024 | {{WIR|322}} |
| 323 | Women in engineering | Nov 2024 | {{WIR|323}} |
| 324 | Women who died: 2024 | Dec 2024 – Jan 2025 | {{WIR|324}} |

For a full list, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/events.
Add a specific year
[edit]If you don't remember during which meetup an article was created/improved, or if the article was not improved during a meetup then you can specify the year by using the |year= parameter. For example, to show that an article was created or improved in 2025 add {{WikiProject Women in Red|year=2025}} or {{WIR|year=2025}} to the talk page, which produces
| Women in Red: 2025 | |||
| ||||
There is no need to add the year, if it is already identified with a meetup in that same year.
If you don't remember the meetup or the year, {{WikiProject Women in Red}} without any parameters also works, but it is best to find out when the article was created/improved by browsing the article's edit history.
Multiple events
[edit]The template allows you to specify multiple events with a single banner. For example, an article created as part of events 144, 168 and 189 could be tagged as:
{{WikiProject Women in Red|144|168|189}}
In this case the events are presented as a list, i.e.
| Women in Red: Parliamentarians (2019) / United Nations & UN Agencies (2020) / Black women (2021) | ||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
Track non-articles
[edit]To keep track of non-article pages, place {{WikiProject Women in Red}} without any parameter directly on the talk page, near the top. This will produce the following banner
| Women in Red | |||
| ||||
Help, I'm stuck!
[edit]Post a message at Template talk:WikiProject Women in Red, explaining what exactly you are trying to do and someone will help.
Mistakes in tagging
[edit]Sometimes Women in Red banners are accidentally or mistakenly placed on the talk pages of articles that were not created or improved for a WiR event. When it looks like a banner is placed incorrectly, please verify it was a mistake by checking the article's history, and feel free to remove the banner. Banners are often added to talk pages based on the event's list of outcomes, so it's a good idea to follow the link in the banner before removing it, so that the article can also be removed from the event's list of outcomes.
If you have questions about this banner's use, reach out to the user who added it or leave a message at the Women in Red talk page.
Technical info
[edit]Details of all meetups are held in a JSON file at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/events. A human-readable list of the data can be viewed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/events.
It is no longer necessary to create a new template for each new event.
Adding a new meetup
[edit]To add a new meetup, add code to this page, updating the example below with the details of the new event.
"n": {
"name": "Find Her",
"year": 2024,
"month": 3,
"image": "WiR Find Her logo.png",
"background": "ABCDEF"
}
Required fields are:
n, the meetup number inside quotation marks. For example, 330 is the next available number.name, the name of the event, inside quotation marks. Either the name or series of the event must be specified; if both are used, then a colon is used to separate them, e.g. "Alphabet run: G & H".
The date of the event should be specified in one of the following ways:
- For a year-long event, use
yearwith the year of the event, without quotation marks. - For an event in a single month, use
yearandmonth. The month is specified numerically (in the range 1-12) without quotation marks. - For an event with separate start and end dates, use
startandendin the following way:
"start": {
"month": 12,
"year": 2023
}
"end": {
"month": 1,
"year": 2024
Other optional fields are:
series, the series of the event, if applicable, e.g. "Geofocus" or "Alphabet run". This will categorise the articles under the relevant suvcategory of Category:WikiProject Women in Red articles by series.type, a specific type of event e.g. "initiative" or "contest". Leave this off if the event is a regular "edit-a-thon".image, a specific image for the event if applicable, inside quotation marks and without the File: namespace.background, a specific background for the event, defined as a hex triplet inside quotation marks and without the # prefix.
See this example. Bear in mind that the previous item will require a comma adding, but no comma should be added to the last item. If you miss a bracket, colon or quotation mark, then it will probably not let you save the page, so don't worry too much about messing it up!
Then, create a new category of the form Category:WikiProject Women in Red meetup 330 articles and add {{WIR category}} to the top.
Now you can tag your articles with {{WikiProject Women in Red|330}} or {{WIR|330}} for short.
Events without meetup number
[edit]There are two events without a meetup number. They are the #1day1woman initiative 2017 and the #1day1woman initiative 2018. These events are tagged using "2017" and "2018" respectively.
