This is the topic workshop of the Webcomics work group. This area of the project concentrates on creating a centralized place to collaborate on the creation and development of webcomic-related good and featured topics.
The purpose of the featured topic process is to highlight some of the most distinguished parts of Wikipedia in terms of article quality. This section will discuss how to form a featured topic, as well as the nuances of the process.
From the featured topic criteria, all topics must have at least three items, have a clear defined topical scope, are linked together, and have no major gap in the topic. For the purposes of webcomic-related articles, the most visible topics that can be formed are those based around single creators. Many online cartoonist (for instance, John Allison (comics) or Randall Munroe) have created multiple individually notable works ( Bobbins, Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery, or xkcd, What if?, " Time"). Some possible topics can be based around projects ( MS Paint Adventures, Cyanide and Happiness, Modern Tales). Character lists or articles are always considered a child of the main webcomic the characters appear in.
The main article of a topic must be one that is clearly the parent article or list for the other items of the topic, and defines the scope of the topic. The main article of a grouping is an appropriate article for other items in the grouping, usually a creator, a website, or a project. Currently, the only known webcomic that could form a subtopic would be Penny Arcade, a topic which would cover the video game and the characters, but not the Penny Arcade Expo and Child's Play. It is unlikely that webcomic-related topics get big enough to form subtopics, but it is not unreasonable.
When listing a topic, please use the {{ topicnom}} template, and create a section for the collaborators on the topic and a section for discussion on the topic. Indicate whether the topic is a potential good topic or featured topic by adding (GT) or (FT) respectively to the title of the topic. If you wish to collaborate on a topic, please add # ~~~ under the "collaborators" section of a potential topic listed here. Please keep the topics up to date on the status of the articles. The following templates can be utilized:
{{

peer review ()For all topics, good topics and featured topics alike, all of the articles in the topic must be at least good articles and all lists must be featured lists. This requirement is the minimum bar for a good topic. For a featured topic, the amount of featured content within the topic (both featured articles and featured lists are considered featured content) must constitute at least twenty-five percent of the topic, with a minimum of two items of featured content. This figure is rounded up; for instance, if the topic had 10 items, 3 items would need to be featured (10/4 = 2.5 --> 3) or if the topic had 15 items, 4 items would need to be featured (15/4 = 3.75 --> 4).
Once the scope and items of a topic have been identified, collaboration on the topic can ensue. Given the large number of quality articles required for every individual topic, it is much easier for topics to be formed through collaboration by large numbers of editors. Separating the workload by assigning tasks to individual editors or groups of editors is a possible method, as is all collaborators working on the individual items of a topic one-by-one. As a courtesy to the other collaborators, it is recommended that the editor(s) working on individual items contact the other collaborators on a topic prior to any good article, featured list, or featured article candidacy. Creating a good or featured topic is among the most difficult tasks for a Wikipedia editor, and please do not be discouraged by the amount of work that is often needed to create these topics. Keep going forward and do not be afraid to ask for help from the WikiProject and your fellow project members.
