Goals

 * Categorize and tag all articles within the scope of WikiProject Pharmacology.
 * Insert on every Pharmacology-related article's talk page you can find.
 * Assess the quality and importance of each article as it relates to this project.
 * Create msg boxes for Drug and each category (the drug msg-box will contain all categories, and specific categories' msg-boxes will contain links to actual articles of specific drugs, with possible sub-categorization).
 * Remove inconsistencies in related articles and expand all stubs under the scope of the project.

How you can help
Looking for something to do?

Improve articles

 * The article worklist contains a list of all of the articles that have been identified as being of interest to the project, organized according to category and assigned an importance and quality grade.
 * Adopt a stub! There are many, many stubby Pharmacology articles that have the potential to be excellent articles.
 * Contribute to a team effort by participating in the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week, a weekly collaboration to improve Pharmacology articles to featured article status.
 * Upgrade the infoboxes in drug articles to conform to our Drug infobox style.
 * The WikiProject Pharmacology/Requested images is where members can go to ask for help in creating pictures, figures, or diagrams that do not yet exist, replacing those with restrictive copyrights. All images covered by a non-commercial uses disclaimer should be replaced by images generated by Wikipedia users themselves. Please also see the Chemistry Project's guidelines on standardizing structural formulae.
 * Add references. Correct and reliable references are vital if the articles produced by this project are to be a verifiable source of information for our readers. Adding references is easy with this tool. Just submit the PubMed ID and copy and paste the resulting output (xxxx) into the page between Alternatively, if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox (2.0+), then Wouterstomp's bookmarklet can automate this step from the PubMed abstract page.

Categorize the many Pharmacology-related articles

 * Label articles of interest to the project by putting the WikiProject Pharmacology template on the talk pages of all articles of interest to pharmacy and pharmacology.
 * Categories:


 * Stubs: Category:Uncategorised pharmacology articles contains all stubs requiring categorization.


 * Categorize drug articles by adding them to the appropriate categories.

Direct our focus

 * Join in discussing proposals, so that we can take our ideas off the drawing board and put them into action. Go there, choose a proposal, read it and add your two cents!
 * The Pharmacology Portal always needs to be maintained!

Improve the project itself

 * Help to develop the Drugbox and drug navigational templates. Drug information boxes can be included in each Wikipedia article about a particular drug.
 * Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in pharmacology to contribute to Wikipedia.
