Creation of a new Airport

[edit]
See also: Template:WPAVIATION creator
  1. Do a search on the ICAO Airport Code, IATA Airport Code, FAA LID, and TC LID as appropriate; the article may already exist under another name.
    Note: for smaller domestic-only airports there may be few or no codes assigned.
  2. Create the article using the correct name and using the content and structure identified by the project.
  3. Include the {{Infobox Airport}} template at the top of the article and complete all available information.
  4. For US airports, include the {{US-airport}} template for automatic inclusion of links from airport-related sites.
  5. Categorize the article correctly.
  6. Add links from the article for the main city that it serves and the city or cities the airport is actually located in or nearest to, so as not to create an orphan. An {{airport codes}} template can be included in these non-airport articles, but should not be included in airport articles; it duplicates information in the {{Infobox Airport}} template.
  7. Create redirect articles for the ICAO and IATA Codes.
  8. Check that the new airport name is listed in all appropriate sub-lists of the List of Airports.
  9. Create a talk page for the article including {{WikiProject Aviation|Airports-project=yes}}

Creation of a new Airport Category

[edit]
  1. Find all relevant airports
  2. Add to Airports category
  3. Add to the geographic category: I.e Airports of the United States in United States
