Creation Checklists

[edit]

Creation of a new Airport

  1. Categorize correctly
  2. Add link from the main city that it serves and the city or cities the airport is actually located in or nearest to, so as not to create an orphan
  3. Add the ICAO Airport Code, and the IATA Airport Code. Note that for smaller domestic-only airports there may be no code assigned. Use the Template:Tl template as follows:
    1. For just the IATA code, use {{airport codes|EDI}} for Template:Airport codes
    2. For just the ICAO code, use {{airport codes||EGPH}} for Template:Airport codes
      1. If both IATA and ICAO codes are available, use {{airport codes|EDI|EGPH}} for Template:Airport codes
    3. For small general aviation airports in the US without either an IATA or ICAO code, use {{airport codes|||S16}} for Template:Airport codes
  4. Create redirect articles for the ICAO and IATA Codes.
  5. Add Template:Tl template to the talk page.
[edit]

Creation of a new Airport Category

  1. Find all relevant airports
  2. Add to Airports category
  3. Add to the geographic category: I.e Airports of the United States in United States

Airport article structure

This list is not complete and could use some general comments on what should be provided.

Consider including the following headings in each article:

  • An infobox, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports/infobox
  • Introduction
  • History
  • Airlines and destinations if only one terminal or terminal(s) not identified otherwise Terminals and destinations Include an entry for each major terminal. Unless otherwise listed, the terminal is expected to be a passenger terminal (not cargo).
    1. For flights operated by one airline but marketed by another, avoid using the term dba, an abbreviation of the American business term doing business as. The preferred notation is:
    2. Differentiate between multiple airports in one city using "-" (eg London-Heathrow) or (London Heathrow).
    3. List city names, do not wikilink them.
    4. List direct flights only. That means the flight number, but not always the plane, starts at this airport and continues to one or more airports. Avoid using the description via since that is more correctly listed as another destination. If passengers can not disembark at a stop on a direct flight, then do not list it as a destination or as via. Direct flights are not always non-stop flights. However, avoid listing timetable "direct" flights from spoke-to-spoke through an airline hub, as these flights change frequently and do not really tell the reader anything.
    For flights that do not operate year round, add - [seasonal] - after the destination.
  • External links A link to the airport's web site. If the entry has an infobox then links to mapping sites are available by clicking on the linked coordinates.
  • Optionally you can add Template:AirportProject to the article's discussion page (insert {{AirportProject}}) so other editors are directed to this project.

Ongoing Maintenance

  1. Category:Airports - keep up to date
  2. Article count by country - country
  3. Add list of airports to each category for those we need to create
