Project notes[edit]

I just created this wikiproject, after several months of contemplating doing so. I hope everyone working on hurricane articles will get involved. I went ahead and wrote a bunch of guidelines, basically based on current practices...naturally since this is something I just wrote it doesn't necessarily represent community consensus and needs to be discussed. That discussion should probably go here for now...although eventually we may make these pages a little more structured. For a general TODO list, see the "tasks" item on the project page.

Wikimedia Commons track/path names[edit]

I have noticed that the Wikimedia Commons track names for tropical depressions are not procedurally organized, with three formats dominating the system. There is this format, with no leading zero and a dash between the number and the basin name (example: File:1-L 1988 track.png), another format with the leading zero and a dash between the number and the basin name (example: File:03-L 1974 track.png), another format with the leading zero and no dash (example: File:10L 2020 track.png), and other unregulated formats like File:1970 Indian cyclone 4 track.png. The closest thing I could find to a guideline was this, but it didn't say exactly what format the depressions should be in. I propose that a new guideline be created to regulate this, using the third format (File:10L 2020 track.png). Please reply if you want to participate in this discussion. Thank you. 2003 LN6 19:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Putting to one side any problems we may have imposing any guidelines we create here on commons and other wikis, there are at least three types of depressions that would need to be covered by any such guidance. Those depressions that are named/numbered in real time, Those depressions that are named/numbered post-season or in reanalysis and those depressions that are not numbered.Jason Rees (talk) 20:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jason Rees so which format should we follow on Commons or is there really no guideline? 2003 LN6 03:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
