===What are Cargo tables?===

Cargo tables are used on the Consumer Rights Wiki for storing structured metadata about articles. These can be used to create queries on the wiki (like the ones generating the tables you see below) as well as accessed via the wiki's API for use in external projects, such as the wiki's browser extension project.

These can be used to create queries on the wiki (like the ones generating the tables you see below) as well as accessed via the wiki's API for use in external projects, such as the wiki's browser extension project. 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).

===Project goals===

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, and by checking over these tables, you should be able to identify ~~empty~~ or incomplete.

This page contains tables which fetch all of the articles with each kind of Cargo table present on them, and by checking over these tables, you should be able to identify articles where the Cargo data is missing, incorrect, or incomplete.

The pages which should have a Cargo table include:

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

It is quite likely that pages will exist on the ~~wiki~~ that should have a Cargo table, but do not have one.

It is also quite likely that pages will exist on the Wiki that should have a Cargo table, but do not have one.

A good number of pages which should have cargo tables, but ~~do not, use~~ the deprecated InfoboxCompany template. A list of such articles can be found here: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:InfoboxCompany

A good number of pages which should have cargo tables but don't are currently using the deprecated [[Template:InfoboxCompany|InfoboxCompany template]]. A list of such articles can be found here: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:InfoboxCompany which should serve as as a good starting point for looking for articles that don't have the relevant cargo table.

==What you need to do==

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!

This project will be considered complete when all relevant pages contain Cargo tables, and all Cargo tables have their full complement of data.
