Welcome to the Bedfordshire WikiProject!

The current scope of this WikiProject is all articles relating to Bedfordshire, however if someone would like to start up a WikiProject about their county it would be good if we could merege into WikiProject Bedfordshire and County Name, if enough people would like to it could even be expanded into a UK towns and villages WikiProject.

Goals

• Create an article for every Bedfordshire town and village, see List of places in Bedfordshire.
• Add an infobox to every article about a Bedfordshire town or village, see List of places in Bedfordshire.
• Expand all Bedfordshire articles, see Category:Bedfordshire.
• Better organise the categorisation of Bedfordshire articles, main category is Category:Bedfordshire.
• Add {{WikiProject Bedfordshire}} with full classification to all relevant pages.

Article templates

{{coor title dm}}

This template should be placed at the top of place pages with it's parameters filled. It displays the coordinates of that place, you can get them from Google Earth by typing in the place and looking in the bottom left hand corner.

Example of wikicode: {{coor title dm|52|01|N|0|25|W|region:GB_type:city}}

{{Infobox England place}}

This infobox should be used on all place articles.

Usage is:

{{infobox England place|
|Place=             Shepperton
|Latitude=       51.393491 *optional - use with Longitude*
|Longitude=      -0.446796 *optional - use with Latitude*

{{Places in Bedfordshire}}

Thanks to Rick Block a template which can be put on every Bedfordshire town and village page has been created designed to link articles together. You can add it to the page with {{Places in Bedfordshire}} however that only works on the article so if you want to use it elsewhere add {{Places in Bedfordshire|Place name}}. Sometimes due to redirects etc, it will not work so you have to add the place name anyway - if that does occur please report it on the template talk page and someone will try to fix it. Please note that it should be placed at the bottom of each page, but above any stub tag.

Example for Bedford:

{{Bedfordshire-geo-stub}}

Bedfordshire has it's own stub template.

Talk page templates

{{WikiProject Bedfordshire}}

The {{WikiProject Bedfordshire}} banner should be added (but not subst:ed) to the talk pages of all articles within the scope of the Bedfordshire WikiProject. Although no parameters are required there are many which provide the WikiProject with an easy way of categorising articles and working on those which need the most work etc.

{{WikiProject Bedfordshire
|fa-class           =
|a-class            =
|ga-class           =
|b-class            =
|start-class        =
|stub-class         =
|na-calss           =

|no-infobox         =
|incomplete-infobox =
|complete-infobox   =
|na-infobox         =

|collaboration-date =
|}

The class assessment parameters should have a yes beside the one applicable and the rest removed, the same applies for the infobox listings. So an example usage of this template would be:

{{WikiProject Bedfordshire|stub-class=yes|no-infobox=yes}}

Other parameters are:

• collaboration-date - if the article has been a Bedfordshire collaboration then the date should be placed here in standard format (e.g. 2006-05-17).
• current-collaboration - this indicates whether the article is a current collaboration, simply answer yes if it is.
• collaboration-candidate - is the page a current collaboration candidate?

All of those parameters should only be included if they apply.
