Meeting purpose
The purpose of this virtual meeting is to discuss the Article guidance feature with the Italian Wikipedia community. This session builds on our conversation with the Italian community. We will explain key aspects of the feature, including how to create an outline by reviewing an existing Modelli and collaboratively modifying a copy to fit the outline format. We will also examine the tags and markup functions used in outlines (see example outlines on this page) and demonstrate how to configure them to address the community’s requirements. Finally, we will answer any questions about the feature and outline the next steps to enable it on the Italian Wikipedia. Interpretation services will be available in Italian.
At the end of the meeting, the participants would:
- Have created an outline that aligns with the proposed format for the Article guidance feature.
- Understand the functionality of all aspects of the Article guidance feature.
- Have had all their questions addressed.
- Have a clear understanding of the next steps required to implement the feature on the Italian Wikipedia.

Everything you need to know before the meeting
This information summarizes what to expect and how to prepare for the meeting. This short guide will help you make the most of our first meeting.
What this meeting is about
This is our first meeting as a group working on the Article guidance initiative. Think of it as a kickoff. We will:

How to prepare for the meeting
You do not need to do extensive preparation. Here are a few steps to help you contribute more effectively during the meeting.

- Reflect on and note your experience or practices as they relate to your contributions to your language Wikipedia.
- If you have any relevant questions you want the WMF team to consider and answer during the meeting, add them in the “Questions for the WMF team” section.
Questions to reflect on
The WMF team has put together questions in this form. Your answers will be used to create an initial of the guidance to support the creation of key types of articles in your community. That will serve as an example for communities to iterate, by improving and expanding to support more topics. We want you to answer them after the meeting, but you can think about them beforehand.
The form is currently in English, but we will provide it in other languages (Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Portuguese, Persian and Turkish) before or shortly after the meeting.
