Projects:Cargo-complete: Difference between revisions

Articles on this wiki contain structured data about the article's topic which is stored in a Cargo template. This data is being prepared for a browser extension that will notify users about a company's past incidents while they are shopping online. On some pages this data shows up in a box alongside the article, but on Incident pages, it is invisible. We need editors to contribute to this data by filling in missing data points and adding Cargo templates to old pages that do not have them. We've put this project page together to try and make it easier to track down and identify articles in need of metadata updates.<!-- is there a link on this wiki to learn about or beta test the extension?-->

We have a few different Cargo tables, which are linked below. Each corresponds to a certain [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Article types|article type]] (although not all article types have Cargo tables).

The purpose of project Cargo-Complete is to ensure that every Cargo table on the wiki contains all the information that it should, and that every relevant page has a Cargo table. This page contains tables which fetch all of the articles with each kind of Cargo table present on them, By checking over these tables, you should be able to identify articles where the Cargo data is missing, incorrect, or incomplete.  

*Pages about specific incidents ([[Template:IncidentCargo|template]])

*Pages about specific companies ([[Template:CompanyCargo|template]])

*Pages about specific products or services ([[Template:ProductCargo|template]])

*Pages about specific product lines ([[Template:ProductLineCargo|template]])

 

 

'''TL;DR - We want to look for empty boxes in the tables below, and fill them in'''

We need you to go through the tables below and 'fill in the blanks', as well as check for pages that don't have Cargo tables, and make cargo tables for them.

 

There are two good ways of editing a Cargo table. The first, and best, is through the source editor. Cargo tables are stored as plaintext within articles, and you can add or fill in fields within a Cargo table by simply adding the fields, or changing the information within them. Take a look at the template pages linked above if you're not sure on how this works.

 

It is also possible to edit them by going though the 'create a page' flow, and entering the name of a page that already exists (with the correct article type). This will take you to a form where you can change and add information to the various Cargo table fields. This also works for creating Cargo tables on pages that don't have them.

 

Feel free to keep a tally of the pages you've fixed up on the discussion page for this project, or share any tools or techniques you're using to make progress on the project with other editors, it'll be a great help!
