Article contents
The following items are desirable for articles of all levels, although the detail will vary depending on several factors. These items do not need to be separated into distinct sections; text should flow in continuous prose so far as possible. The order this information is included is also relatively unimportant, although the order listed is generally preferred.
- Description (physical, behavioral) - what makes this (group of) critter(s) different from its close relatives? Include here evidence about cognitive capacities.
- Habitat - where does it live? how broadly does it roam? maps are good
- Cultural, Religious, Economic, etc. Importance - what impact has it had on humans? Include here use for experimental purposes that do not relate to other headings.
- Classification - how does it fit into the tree of life?
- Self-awareness - how do you deal with problems related to psychological procedures?
[edit]
Categories
The following category schema is being used. As the number of created/completed articles increases, others can be developed. Other related categories may develop in conjunction with the ones listed, but are not maintained by this WikiProject. Most should be self-explanatory. A few of the articles about prehistoric taxa are doubly linked because their taxonomic placement is significantly uncertain (Proconsul, for instance, maybe an ape, but it may not be). Early hominids contains the prehistoric taxa after the Pan/Homo split and, therefore, is using the term "hominid" in the anthropological sense and not the primatological sense.

[edit]
Task list and progress
Create article for each FamilyEnsure all Family articles are taxonomically consistent- Ensure all articles between Order and Family rank are taxonomically consistent
Prosimian article should be split to create StrepsirrhiniMerge ape and hominoidea.
- Ensure all articles between Family and Genus rank are taxonomically consistent
- Ensure all articles between Order and Family rank are taxonomically consistent
- Create articles for all Species and for needed Genera
Create links for all species articles on appropriate articlesCreate lists of uncreated articles to add to category pages:

Taxonomy and references
Primate taxonomy is by no means fully known or agreed upon. The following references are currently being used for this Project. See the discussion for other possibilities.
- Mammal Species of the World, 3rd edition (2005) - this is now the primary source for primate classification - use Template:Tl or one of its its derivatives (such as Template:Tl) in the reference section.
- Primate Taxonomy (Smithsonian Institute Press, 2001), Colin Groves (ISBN 156098872X) - formerly the primary source
- Mikko's Phylogeny Archive, Primate node - particularly good for relationships among the extant and extinct primates, although some nomenclature differs from MSW3

In general, primate entries should have taxobox. This is something we have inherited from the Tree of Life WikiProject. There are many examples there to look at.
There are several example primate taxoboxes, suitable for cut and paste insertion into entries:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/family taxobox example
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/family taxobox example with picture
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/genus taxobox example
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/genus taxobox example with picture
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/species taxobox example
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Primates/species taxobox example with picture

Talk pages
Place Template:Tl at the top of an article's talk page. This will help direct editors to this page for guidance.
