Members have to filter the chaff from the wheat in the project and talk history or miss changes
Whenever there was a major change, such as a new member or a new discussion, I added it in What's New. This may be a bit too difficult for some members since I kept this in table format. If we want to keep it simpler then I could remove the table.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation/scope should contain all pages of our project. The best way to make sure this is the case is by adding a page here whenever a new page in our project has been added.
People will be less aware of it; this hampers our effort at getting our proposals accepted. Especially new editors may resort to edit wars instead of following our advice. It also will hamper our membership growth.
Greet newbies with {{Welcome SLR}} and others with {{Welcome SLR|intro=-}}
If we dropped this, we'd have to drop the whole membership application process. The alternative is for people to just sign up, like in many other WikiProjects.
They always have been accepted, so this only covers that case.
== Welcome to WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation! ==
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our project. Here's an overview of what's currently going on there:

This box will update automatically. I'm looking forward to your contributions! ~~~~
To add a new source to our List of sources proceed as follows:
Start a new topic about that source on WT:SLR (Usually, we simply enter the official name as a title for the section).
Copy the following text to the end of the table at List of sources, and replace the green cursive placeholders as appropriate:
|-
| [[Official Name]]
| [http://www.name.org name.org]
| UnclasS

| [[WT:SLR#Official Name]]
When the discussion reached a conclusion (that is, a decision whether it is RS, QS, or unreliable, and how to attribute it, if it is a QS), then resolve as follows:
Resolve discussion by adding {{resolved|~~~~~}} under the section headline.
Write results of discussion in table.
After at least 24 hours, archive as follows:
Move discussion to archive as usual.
Update link in the table to point to archived discussion.
