Scope
editThe scope of the project is government and politics, both current and historical, from national to local level. It includes the legislative, elections, referenda, opinion polls, the public service, the judiciary and law. Regional, city and district councils are included. People such as MPs, activists and councillors are included. In other words, all articles that are in Category:Politics of New Zealand or any of its subcategories fall within the project scope.

Tasks
edit- Work on articles for likely new MPs; refer to the relevant sub-page.
- Results templates for parliamentary parties, non-parliamentary parties, and electorate results.
- Work on Candidates in the New Zealand general election 2023 by electorate and Party lists in the 2023 New Zealand general election.
- Go to campaign events, take photos, and upload them to Commons.
- Help with getting candidate photos through the parties themselves
- Add to 54th New Zealand Parliament and Sixth National Government of New Zealand articles.
- Fix broken links to electorate profiles (in "External links" sections; may be in Refs too) in electorate articles.
Infoboxes, parlboxes and succession boxes
editAll MPs should eventually have Infoboxes, parlboxes and succession boxes. CatScan can be used to generate lists, and here are the links to regenerate the results, and counts at various points in time:
Group 4 Sep 2010 20 Jan 2011 16 Aug 2011 29 Sep 2011 22 Dec 2011 8 Feb 2012 12 Mar 2012 13 Apr 2012 26 Jun 2012 18 Aug 2012 All MPs recursive 1336 1368 1370 1368 1394 1394 1395 1396 1396 1391 Missing Infobox person/officeholder 978 988 980 974 969 958 954 952 947 940 Missing NZ parlbox 886 851 829 791 745 611 527 353 266 151 Missing succession boxes 1106 977 846 832 838 772 760 740 708 607
Parlboxes are all done.
Group 1 Dec 2012 6 May 2013 17 Jun 2015 8 Dec 2016 Missing Infobox person/officeholder 926 922 870 766 Missing succession boxes 567 419 341 315
As you can see, there's a fair chunk of work yet to be done, but there's certainly movement.
Assessment
editAssessment results in articles are included in the above table. Article class and politics importance are the aspects to be assessed:
- Add
to the talk pages of articles that come under WikiProject New Zealand's scope.{{WPNZ}}
- Articles that come under this politics task force's scope should have
|politics=yes
included in the WPNZ template. Importance to this task force can be defined by including and filling in thepolitics-importance=
parameter. - For example, for a start class article of low importance for WPNZ, but mid importance for the politics project, the full template entry would look like this:
{{WPNZ|class=start|importance=low|politics=yes|politics-importance=mid}}
. See WP:WikiProject New Zealand/Assessment for more information. - All existing articles should have had the
|politics=yes
added to them; we achieved this through a bot run in July 2010. - New articles created since need to have the parameters added manually.
- If you find a category where the articles fall within the scope of this project, but the politics parameters are missing, please leave a note on the project talk page.
The above table updates itself about daily. It's done by a bot, so if you have just assessed an article, the table itself will not change immediately.
Categorisation
editThe following category stubs can be added to stub articles:
- Government {{NewZealand-gov-stub}}
- Politics {{NewZealand-poli-stub}}
- Politicians {{NewZealand-politician-stub}}
Other stub types are also available.
Other tasks
edit- Party lists in New Zealand general elections
Party lists in the 1996 New Zealand general election- Party lists in the 1999 New Zealand general election; requires formatting to the same templates as the other articles
- Party lists in the 2002 New Zealand general election; requires formatting to the same templates as the other articles
Party lists in the 2005 New Zealand general election
- Expand stub articles or reassess if appropriate (and if it's no longer a stub, remove the stub template).
- Complete the list of New Zealand by-elections (articles listed below have a complete list of by-elections by term that can be transferred; where this has been done, those articles are struck out):
- By-elections for
1st|2nd|3rd|4th|5th|6th|7th|8th|9th|10th|11th|12th|13th New Zealand Parliament'scompleted. By-elections for the 14th | 15th | 16th | and 17th New Zealand Parliaments are partially complete with all by-elections and dates listed – they need party affiliation, Incumbent, Cause & Winner fields to be completed. - Using new templates for NZ electorates & by-elections — see politics talk page
- By-elections for
- Candidates in New Zealand general elections (since 1996); new articles (see Category:Lists of New Zealand political candidates and cf Candidates in the 1999 New Zealand general election by electorate):
- Work on electorate articles, filling in election results from 1999 to 2008 using
{{MMP election box}}
and referencing from http://electionresults.govt.nz - Fix external links to http://electionresults.govt.nz in electorate and other NZ articles – URLs such as 2008.electionresults.govt.nz are deprecated to http://electionresults.org.nz/electionresults_2008 (110 cases) – see also 2005 (46) and 2002 (6)
, 1999 (2) and 1996 (2) - Write articles about the missing referendums: NB: There are no redlinks on the New Zealand elections template but are there some redirects that require an article?
- Write articles about the missing by-elections
- Deal with maintenance templates
- Write a history of the Official cash rate. There is currently information about the definition, but not how the value of cash rate changed throughout history and why.
MPs for New Zealand electorates by location
editAt present the category Category:Members of the New Zealand House of Representatives by electorate has subcategories for the South Island with further subcategories for Christchurch and Dunedin electorates, and subcategories for the North Island with a subcategory for Auckland electorates only.
- Should the Auckland category be for the Auckland Region, not Auckland as at present? Probably not?
- Should the Wellington category be for Wellington City only, or for Wellington Region (including the Hutt Valley, Kapiti and the Wairarapa?)
- Probably Wellington (City) only; in which case there should be a third North Island subcategory of MPs for Hutt Valley electorates.
Are any further subcategories required for other North Island urban areas, e.g. Hamilton. Probably not, as there have only been two Hamilton electorates (Hamilton, then Hamilton East and Hamilton West)? Hugo999 (talk) 09:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Review articles
edit- List of electoral firsts in New Zealand, partly based on List of electoral firsts in the United Kingdom but with wider coverage of MPs and ministers generally. Hugo999 (talk) 03:40, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Current Political Parties.
Parties no longer in existence. When working with parties, please refer to the page on colours and other meta attributes. And if you need to define a new party colour, there's a helpful page that has a whole bunch of different shades. If you need a hand with that work (it's a bit complex), leave a call for help on the talk page.
Mayors in New Zealand – note that all fields needed have been created, but most is commented out, as we would otherwise have a sea of redlinks.

Compare to
editA number of other countries have similar articles to which we can compare to.
- Australia – articles such as First Howard Ministry list Cabinet ministers etc., but have little else. There is substantial information on the actual policies etc. at John Howard#Prime Minister.
- United States of America – substantial articles such as George W. Bush's first term as President of the United States. Major outlay of policy, election, scandals, responses to international events.
- United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – No article equivalent, instead major detail on each PMs page (see Tony Blair for instance) and a separate list of ministers (see Blair Ministry for instance).
