How to help

The aim of the project is to collate and develop consistent and attractive articles that are easy to find and read.

Getting started

• Add articles to the project by adding {{Netball}} to the article's talk page
• Expand and improve existing netball-related articles
• Increase the number of well-written netball-related articles
• Expand the biographies on every woman who has played Test netball

Further development

• Maintaining Category:Netball and sub-category structures
• Developing templates, infoboxes and other tools to help Wikipedia display and make better use of content
• Providing Portal:Netball and Current sports events with up-to-date information for international matches and provincial competitions
• Updating Recent deaths and Current sports events when notable netballers pass on (As newspaper obituaries are usually written when a netballer dies, it is also an opportunity to write up and improve the Wikipedia article on that player.)
• Coordinate efforts and peer review articles
