To do lists Wikicars is undoubtedly the fastest growing wiki on all things automtive. However, that comes at a cost: many are stubs, or otherwise need attention. If you'd like, go ahead and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration.

Expand create and expand different portals, including Exotics, Concepts, SUVs, Crossovers, Sedans, Convertibles, Roadsters, etc. Fix-up projects Help clean up and classify articles into necessary categories	Here are some other tasks you can do: Build out Lincoln MKX article Build out Jeep Wrangler article Build out Nissan Altima Hybrid article

Collaborations To improve the quality of articles which are short or lacking in detail, Wikipedia's community organizes collaborations to expand articles.

Other collaborations Active improvement teams Cleaning department Cleanup Taskforce Counter-Vandalism Unit Spam fighting team Categorization projects Countering systemic bias Encyclopedic Standards Version 1.0 Maintenance Help clear up the backlog of articles to be wikified! Wikification is the process of making an article conform to the model templates and model review templates. This involves formatting, links, sections, and checking for other things such as copyright violations and references. If necessary, you may propose it for deletion. Wikification is an easy way to improve Wikicars! WikiProjects WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist — examine the master list to find one that interests you. They are separate from, though may work with, Collaborations. Language translation Wikicars will not just be in English! Versions will exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikicars's gaps, we translate articles from other languages into English. You can view a list of articles that need translation from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).
