Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Writing systems. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; whilst by no means mandatory, it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page, register your name on the Participants list and review this Project page. All contributions to articles and ideas for further development of this project are welcome.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Title

WikiProject — Writing systems

This WikiProject aims primarily to provide Wikipedia (en) with a consistent treatment for each writing system and general information relating to the study of writing systems. Many writing systems already have extensive pages, and the systematic information on those pages is not presented in a consistent way. A main purpose of this WikiProject is to present that information consistently, that many notable writing systems are documented, and to ensure that each of the major subject areas relevant to each is covered, at least briefly.

Note: the abbreviation WS may be used on this project page as a shorthand way to mean "writing system".
