This page is used to choose the professional wrestling collaborations of the week topic will be picked using this page. These are specific professional wrestling-related topics that initially have no article, have only a basic stub-like page, are in need of more information, or need to be thoroughly sourced and copy-edited to make it a good article candidate. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's professional wrestling-related articles through widespread cooperative editing. It is our hope that some of these will go on to become featured articles. At any given time there will be six active collaborations; one will be chosen from each of the following five categories: wrestling legend, current wrestler, tag team, stub article, list, and pay-per-view. Rather than setting a specific length of time for collaborations, each collaboration will last until the article has reached a certain level of quality. Most collaborations will be active until the editors involved believe it is ready to be nominated for good article status. The list collaboration will proceed until it is ready to be nominated for featured list status. The stub article collaboration will continue as long as possible, although there may not be sufficient information available for good article status. For general discussion of the tasks of WikiProject Professional wrestling, please see the project's talk page. | |||

Selecting the next PWCOTW
How it works
- Articles are kept as COTW until they reach a certain goal.
- For "Wrestling legends" the goal is GA status.
- For "Current wrestler" the goal is GA status.
- For "Tag team" the goal is GA status.
- For "Stub article" the goal is Start-Class or higher (any articles expanded fivefold will also be nominated for a Did you know appearance on Wikipedia's main page).
- For "Pay-per-view" the goal is GA status.
- For "Lists" the goal is WP:FL status.
- If the nominated article is already a Good article, then the goal becomes FA status.
How to nominate
- Guidelines
- A removed article can only be renominated after a second round of articles are chosen.
- You must be a registered user to nominate an article.
- If you have already nominated an article in the same section, all your existing nominations require at least three votes each for you to nominate a new article.
- Please only nominate or "vote" on articles that you plan to work on when they become COTW.
- Considerations for nominations
- Giving reasons why an article should become the PWCOTW may convince others to support your nomination.
- Can the wider professional wrestling community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
- Is the article a stub or very short?
- A good place to look for articles that might be worthy of a nomination are the professional wrestling stubs and bio stubs.
- Articles that are already classed as good articles can be nominated; the goal for these articles will be to elevate them to featured article status. For a list of current good articles, see professional wrestling GA-Class articles.
- Consider renominating a past candidate for COTW which had strong support but didn't quite make the cut.
- Also consider nominating an article from our project's cleanup listing that has several cleanup banners.
- Add nomination
Copy and paste the following template and fill it out.

Voting
A vote or a show of support for an article shows your commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen. Although you are not required to fulfill that commitment, we ask that you only support articles that you are able to contribute to so that this collaboration's goals of expanding and improving articles can adequately be achieved. Feel free to vote for as many candidates as you like.
Any registered user is encouraged to vote so long as you abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sock puppetry.
Please add only support votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as the winner is simply the one with the most support votes (see Approval voting).
To vote for a nomination, edit the nomination and add the following to the bottom of the Support section:
# ~~~~
This adds your username and a time stamp to the numbered list item. The vote will look like this:
- Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
If you wish to withdraw your vote, do not remove your vote; instead, add an asterisk and strike-through tags to your vote as shown:
#* <s>[[User:Username|Username]] 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)</s>
This allows Wikipedia to correctly calculate the remaining votes and will appear like this:
- Username2 08:39, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
- Username3 08:39, 2 July 2005 (UTC)
Note: We do not choose the article through consensus; we choose it through a majority voting system.
Ties
In the case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.
Pruning
As voting comes to a close, any nominations that do not win will be removed. Removed nominations can only be renominated after a second round of articles are chosen.
