Welcome to the project page for WikiProject Reforming Wikipedia (WRWP), an umbrella project for all Wikipedia reform operations. The goal of this project is to advocate for content and governance reforms that will facilitate higher-quality content and fairer, more efficient governance structures. This project will serve as a place where reform-supporting editors can discuss reforms and collaborate in the process of proposing them. If you want to learn more about our goals and/or join this project, more information is provided in the sections below. Any participant may present reform proposals following the steps listed in the relevant section, and discussion is encouraged on the talk page. Thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia!
Our reform objectives are separated into two primary categories: Content and Governance. To see our goals for each category, you may read the summaries provided and click on the links to read a more detailed description.
You are not required to agree with all the goals listed above to join our project—willingness to collaborate on reform proposals for any area is welcome. To join our project, simply add your signature to the list below. You are encouraged to specify which area(s) you are interested in reforming, so that you can collaborate with other editors who share your goals. Note that in the near future, as the project grows, we may consider forming a newsletter, so all members will be notified if and when this occurs. Finally, you may wish to add the project's talk page to your watchlist, so as to be aware of any new discussion.
If you have joined, thank you for doing so! As mentioned above, you are welcome to discuss proposed improvements on the project talk page (please keep all discussion on that page) and propose reforms of your own via the process described in the flow chart below. You may also wish to add the project userbox to your userpage.
A userbox is available if you wish to show your participation on your userpage.

Any editor can make a proposal under this project and collaborate in the process of drafting possible reforms. See the flow chart below for more information.
Draft an outline of your proposal under a subpage of this project, and list it in the table below. | Notify project members about your proposal on this project's talk page. If desired, gather feedback from the Village Pump idea lab. | Expand your proposal. Detail the proposed changes and implementation details. | Advertise your proposal as widely as possible. Post neutral notices on the centralized discussion template, Village Pumps, and relevant talk pages. For major proposals, a watchlist notice may be appropriate. Be sure to comply with the canvassing guideline. | If the proposal succeeds, you have successfully advanced Wikipedia one step further. If it did not succeed, revise the proposal in accordance with community concerns or start again. |

Draftifying | Move certain articles to draft space rather than delete them outright, so as to retain more editors and create a balanced system. | 24 July 2016 | Outlining |
