UNMANNED SPACEFLIGHT TASK FORCE (DEFUNCT)
Main page   Discussion   Members   Assessment Popular pages   Open tasks   Recognized content     Awards   Portal Welcome to the Unmanned spaceflight task force. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of unmanned spaceflight and the organisation of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this task force will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below. Goals The goals of this task force are to: Standardise and better organise content related to unmanned spaceflight Expand and improve the articles within its scope Create articles related to relevant topics that do not already exist Scope All articles relating to unmanned spaceflight are within the scope of this task force. Articles relating to manned spaceflight are not within this project's scope, and are instead covered by the Human spaceflight task force Guidelines Most articles should contain sections describing the spacecraft, its launch, its mission or operations, and its outcome. Both SI and imperial units should be used, however SI units should always be given first. All times should be in UTC, with local times in parentheses for ground events. UTC times should use the 24-hour clock, whilst local times should use either 12 or 24 hour clock depending on which is used in the applicable country) Mission durations should be written in clear units (e.g. "1 day, 1 hour, 8 minutes", not "1 day 01:08" or "25:08") Navboxes should be used to navigate between spacecraft related by series, bus, or other similarities.

This allows all related task forces to use the same banner. The "unmanned" parameter of this template should be set to "yes" to show that this task force is interested in the article (e.g. {{WikiProject Spaceflight|class= |importance= |unmanned=yes|unmanned-importance= }} ). See template for detailed instructions. The quality ("class") of the article uses the main WikiProject Spaceflight assessment criteria. The importance of the article to this task force should be set using the "unmanned-importance" parameter of the template. Importance grades are: WikiProject article importance scheme Importance Criteria Example  Top  Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field. Communications satellite  High  Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent. Exploration of Mars  Mid  Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area. GPS IIR-1  Low  Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article. Neptune Orbiter  NA  Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc. Template:GOES  ???  Subject importance has not yet been assessed.
