  • Tornadic activity

Goals

1) Standardize pages for severe weather events and people, in the same spirit as our parent project.

2) Improve the pages for severe weather phenomena.

3) Learn more for historical severe weather events, and provide detailed information for current and recent severe weather events.

Format for articles

  • Note on units: All quantities should be expressed in both imperial and metric units, regardless of the affected area. The primary measurements used in this project are imperial units, although primary-metric can be used in events that only affect regions that use only the metric system (i.e. Canada, Mexico, most of Europe). For example, to show winds of 50 mph, it should be listed as "50 mph (80 km/h)" in most circumstances. Rounding should be done to reasonable levels.
  • Note on galleries: It is not desirable to have an image gallery in a main article. However, linking to a gallery on Wikimedia commons using {{commons}} is very helpful. To upload a file to the Commons, click here (you must create/have a commons account to do this). For instructions on creating a commons gallery, see here.

Templates

Infoboxes

  • {{Infobox tornado outbreak}} provides a template for brief information at the top of the page for tornado outbreaks, including the date
  • {{Infobox tornado}} provides the same information for events involving a single tornado
  • {{Infobox storm}} provides information for extratropical cyclones; can be used for tornado outbreaks caused by an extratropical cyclone

(Infoboxes for other events are planned)

Stub templates

This template should be added to the end of stub articles which fall under the category of general meteorology or climatology.
This template should be added to the end of stub articles which are biographies of a meteorologist or a climatologist.
This template should be added only to the end of stub articles which describe a specific historical weather event.

Data templates

Current weather templates

  • {{Current disaster}} for ongoing storm events. Should be used for Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado Watch when conditions are very dangerous (usually, but not always, a PDS watch).

Talk page template

  • {{WikiProject Weather|thunderstorms-and-tornadoes-task-force=yes}} should appear on the top of the talk page of every article covered by this project.

Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Thunderstorm and tornado articles) Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Thunderstorm and tornado articles)  FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Thunderstorm and tornado articles) List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Thunderstorm and tornado articles) ???

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Weather}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Weather|importance=???|thunderstorms-and-tornadoes-task-force=yes}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Thunderstorm and tornado articles)  Top 
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Thunderstorm and tornado articles)  High
