To-do items for anyone

Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of WikiProject Ireland and/or WikiProject Northern Ireland. You may also find ((WikiProjectBanners)) useful. To each of these banners, you should add gaeilge-task-force = yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Gaeilge task force articles.

Categories

• All articles awaiting Irish translations - populated by pages marked with ((gaeilge))
• Untranslated Irish place names - automatically populated by ((Irish place name)) and ((Gaeltacht place name))

Templates

For main project templates, see the main project page for WikiProject Ireland and WikiProject Northern Ireland.

• ((gaeilge)) - requests an Irish-language version of a English-language word or phrase

Place names

• ((Irish place name)) - suitable for providing Irish-language versions of English-language place names
• ((Irish language place name)) - suitable for providing English-language translations of places with only an Irish-language name
• ((Gaeltacht place name)) - suitable for providing English-language versions of an Irish-language place name

Place name notices

• ((ipn notice)) - warning notice for talk pages when a place name is not translated by a local or from a published source
