Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Belize

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Spouse of governor general of Belize#Requested move 19 January 2025 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. CNC (talk) 16:21, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

WikiProject Belize, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

End report (at least for now) –

Stuff done –

• Basically redid the main proj page, mostly to declutter it, optimise for new arrivals, give a sense of scope at a glance, so on (ifl this minimal main page would be easier on new arrivals, easier to navigate),
• added copy/content to main proj page,
• created vars subpages, added copy/content to some of them,
• tagged some members as inactive (Kaldari is retired, Aaronhumes hasn't edited since 2013, John Carter is on indefinite ban since 2018).

To do still –

• add guidance (currently none),
• set up new articles subpage,
• maybe some other stuff from the WPs above.

Lmk if anything's not ok? Would appreciate feedback :)

Ps ifl we all oughtta watchlist /Requests and /To do, if possible?

It's unlikely to get much attention I'm afraid, it really needs editors in Belize to be working on it! John Carter started a lot of country projects but a lot of them were over optimistic. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:45, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Oh yh for sure, will still plough on though :) - Asdfjrjjj (talk) 18:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

To editor Gonnym: hi would you mind if I restored the Wikipedia:WikiProject Belize/Baymens humour button on this project's main page (removed 30 Nov 2025)? I feel like the humour was properly tagged so it doesn't really feel like it hijacks this project page, imo? Will revert soon but lmk if that breaches some WP guidance/etc, or if you'd really prefer I not :) - Asdfjrjjj (talk) 18:02, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

No. Keep the humor crap away from non-humor pages. Gonnym (talk) 23:03, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

To editor Gonnym: Ahhh sorry in that case! (We do need a link from main pg to /Baymens though [otherwise the subpg is orphaned], so I'll adding that to a note and the Contents table, but lmk if that breaches some WP guidance/etc?) - Asdfjrjjj (talk) 00:55, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
