This is WikiProject Louisville's list of tasks.
In December 2015, a front page list which is now called "Project Articles Needing Action" was created, starting with 5 rows (with 4 entries each). These are, by statistics and/or editorial judgment, articles needing the most action right now.
Following are explanations of the action categories:
If any project participants want to join the editorial staff that selects the entries for these action items, please add your username in the list at this link.
Wikipedians and especially WikiProject Louisville participants are encouraged to create or any Louisville area-related articles (including articles about people from the Louisville area) that are (or should be) included in our project.
Please also help us ensure that Louisville area-related articles (new or old) are included in our project by adding the following project template to their talk pages if it's not there already:{{
WikiProject United States|class=|Louisville=yes|Louisville-importance=}}
The above yields:
United States: Louisville NA‑class | ||||||||||

Other ways you can help in the development of articles include:
Per our goal and scope, WikiProject Louisville provides comprehensive coverage of notable subjects pertaining to the Louisville metropolitan area. But to decide what articles/pages to include can sometimes be a bit fuzzy. So following are aspects to look at in determining whether an article/page should be included in our project:
Note: Typically, any person, horse or other entity that has won a Louisville area race or contest is not included in our project unless they have an otherwise strong connection to the area.

There are many approaches to cleaning up Wikipedia articles, and cleanup activity on our included articles is a great way to contribute to our project. Obviously, issues such as typos, incorrect grammar and ambiguous links can be corrected manually, but many tools exist to aid in this effort.
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
In addition, various cleanup issues* for our project (totaling 3,337 as of April 23, 2024) are scooped up by a weekly-run automatic process and are listed by cleanup category and alphabetically by article title (sortable by assessment class or project importance, or number of issues in the alphabetic list) by for your convenience. For example, if you just want to work on articles with cite date errors, the "by cleanup category" list has those sorted out for you.
For cleanup issues identified over a decade ago and are still yet to be addressed, check out our list of articles with old issues.
*Note: these lists don't comprise all possible cleanup issues in articles—just the ones that have been tagged by editors or internal processes (and thus listed in hidden categories). Issues like spacing, typos, grammar, readability, and minor structural nits will normally not be included—sometimes you just have to read an article or review its wiki source to see where its problems lie.

To ensure that all changes to Louisville area-related pages are sound, and any vandalism reverted, here are "recent changes" pages to aid in that endeavor:
Whenever you get stuck while working on an article, there are several approaches available for you:
Since we want the world to discover our work and all that is notable about the Louisville metro area, we should continuously connect Louisville area-related articles internally and externally. More specifically, we should:
Louisville area-related articles, like all Wikipedia articles, need photos and other images for illustrative purposes, and many of our articles lack them.
Following are suggestions for needed images:
On a regular basis, editors use the link [[Louisville]] when they really mean to use [[University of Louisville]] or [[University of Louisville|Louisville]] (or a link to Louisville Cardinals or a more specific Cardinals sports program). Searching out and correcting these misuses become increasingly difficult as uses of [[Louisville]] (for any reason) accumulate. Therefore, preventing this accumulation is necessary for the continual seeking out of misuses. This ultimately means that Louisville is a redirect for search purposes rather than shorthand linking purposes.
Oftentimes, our correction will involve changing [[Louisville]] to [[Louisville, Kentucky]] (while removing any following mention of 'Kentucky', linked or not) or [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]]. Making these updates is what assists us in zeroing in on redirect misuses.
In any case, editors making these changes should pay special attention to the context in which the [[Louisville]] link is used to decide how to disambiguate.
Louisville, Kentucky is arguably the most important article we will work on, as it gives the first impression to many about our metro area, and it's the gateway to many other Louisville area-related articles. Following are related tasks:

Neighborhoods are key to explaining the Louisville area, especially Louisville itself. Their geographical connections to encyclopedic subjects (articles), and their locations relative to each other is important to document. Here are tasks necessary to complete:
Following is a list of articles our project is current targeting to take to good or featured status. Project participants are encouraged to add to this list, keeping in mind that only high or top-importance articles with a GA-class (good), B-class or C-class quality should be considered at this point (See the compiled list of such articles as of April 29, 2024).
In addition to tasks related to work on our project's included pages in the Wikipedia (such as articles), we have tasks related to maintaining and enhancing the project itself, which means its pages and any tools within.
Our Watchall page (technically now Watchall2) contains the complete list of pages included in our project along with their corresponding talk pages. This page is used in Change patrol, where Wikipedia's Recent changes tool is used to see recent changes to pages linked in the Watchall, and that can be used to police vandalism or otherwise review changes. The Watchall is updated daily by a bot due to the continual churn of new pages being added to the project, pages being deleted from the project, and pages being renamed (moved).
