Aims edit

Outline to Usable edit

Done As of November 9 2021, all articles are at usable status or above.

Next steps:

Ensure that new articles are brought to usable status quickly.
Review Usable articles to determine if any meet Guide status already and change their status to reflect that.

Usable to Guide edit

Key destinations that should be guides but still needs some more content and work done on them.

Armidale - a city in the New England region of New South Wales
Blue Mountains National Park
Darwin
Brisbane and other cities that make up Greater Brisbane (Logan City, Ipswich (Queensland), Moreton Bay and Redland City) plus some other destinations like North Stradbroke Island or Moreton Island

Other candidates that could with just a little effort be guide status:

Current articles under discussion and work in progress edit

Articles that are currently being worked on or under discussion such as merge or delete. Or articles you wish to bring to others attention.

Discussions should take place on the talk page of the article, this is just to highlight activity.

Articles needed edit

Major towns: none
To complete regions: - National Parks of NSW

UNESCO world heritage parks for Wet Tropics of Queensland edit

UNESCO world heritage parks for Gondwana Rainforests of Australia edit

These should eventually get their own articles, or be a redirect to the relevant region if they do not meet WV:Wiaa.
