Creation Checklists


Creation of a new Airport
#Categorize correctly #Add link from 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 #Add the ICAO Airport Code, and the IATA Airport Code. Note that for smaller domestic-only airports there may be no code assigned. Use the {{tl|airport codes}} template as follows: ## For just the IATA code, use {{airport codes|EDI}} for {{airport codes|EDI}} ## For just the ICAO code, use {{airport codes||EGPH}} for {{airport codes||EGPH}} ### If both IATA and ICAO codes are available, use {{airport codes|EDI|EGPH}} for {{airport codes|EDI|EGPH}} ## For small general aviation airports in the US without either an IATA or ICAO code, use {{airport codes|||S16}} for {{airport codes|||S16}} #Create redirect articles for the ICAO and IATA Codes. #Add {{tl|AirportProject}} template to the talk page.

Creation of a new Airport Category
#Find all relevant airports #Add to Airports category #Add to the geographic category: I.e Airports of the United States in United States

Airport article structure
This list is not complete and could use some general comments on what should be provided. Consider including the following headings in each article: *An infobox, see :WikiProject Airports/infobox *'''Introduction''' *'''History''' *'''Airlines and destinations''' if only one terminal or terminal(s) not identified otherwise '''Terminals and destinations''' Include an entry for each major terminal. Unless otherwise listed, the terminal is expected to be a passenger terminal (not cargo). *#For flights operated by one airline but marketed by another, avoid using the term ''dba'', an abbreviation of the American business term ''doing business as''. The preferred notation is: *#*Northwest Airlines (Destinations) *#**Northwest Airlink operated by Mesaba Airlines (Destinations) *#*Delta Air Lines (Destinations) *#**Song (airline) Song operated by Delta Air Lines (Destinations) *#*US Airways (Destinations) *#**US Airways operated by America West Airlines (Destinations) *#Differentiate between multiple airports in one city using "-" (eg London-Heathrow) or (London Heathrow). *#List city names, do not wikilink them. *#List direct flights only. That means the flight number, but not always the plane, starts at this airport and continues to one or more airports. Avoid using the description via since that is more correctly listed as another destination. If passengers can not disembark at a stop on a direct flight, then do not list it as a destination or as via. Direct flights are not always non-stop flights. However, avoid listing timetable "direct" flights from spoke-to-spoke through an airline hub, as these flights change frequently and do not really tell the reader anything. *:For flights that do not operate year round, add - [seasonal] - after the destination. *'''External links''' A link to the airport's web site. If the entry has an infobox then links to mapping sites are available by clicking on the linked coordinates. * Optionally you can add Template:AirportProject to the article's discussion page (insert '''{{AirportProject}}''') so other editors are directed to this project.

Airport articles to be cleaned up
As of 2006-02-08 the following categories contained: *:Category:North American airport stubs 83 articles *:Category:Asian airport stubs 84 articles *:Category:European airport stubs 88 articles *:Category:Airport stubs 97 articles *:Category:United States airport stubs 413 articles *:Category:Canadian airport stubs 1,384 articles *Molde-Aaro Airport *Suceava Airport *Lasham airfield *Kimbolton Airfield *Istanbul Ataturk International Airport *South Bend Regional Airport (almost cleaned - needs basic info upgrade) *Vienna International Airport - Needs major clean-up, also, article should be renamed Vienna Schwechat International Airport. ::The airport's website uses the current name, and the old name wins by a factor of more than 30 in a googlefight. *Zielona Góra Airport *Lübeck Airport only minor clean up - probably only codes required *Orio al Serio Airport *Košice International Airport *Singapore Changi Airport Suggestion to clean up this article or exclude from the project, given the current opinion. *HAL Airport, its cluttered, needs to be formatted, and perhaps a move to Hindustan International Airport, that's a redirect and I doubt the airport's formal name is "HAL".

Clean up completed
* Chinggis Khaan International Airport -- It's not as much of a mess as it used to be, really needs expansion mostly. -- User:PRueda29 PRueda29.html" title="Meaning of PRueda29">PRueda29 / ^{User_talk:PRueda29 Ptalk29} / ^{Special:Contributions/PRueda29 Pcontribs29} 18:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC) * Gran Canaria International Airport - Cleaned by User:PRueda29 PRueda29 on July 26, 2005 * Sioux Gateway Airport by User:MCB MCB. I will be adding some additional material on commercial service.

Resources
Can we use:
- airlinecodes.co.uk to look up both ICAO and IATA codes
- IATA Location Identifier Code Finder to look up IATA codes (caution contains railways, etc)
- World Airport Codes another IATA code sorce
- The Airport Guide for airport information
- Airservices Australia En-Route Supplement Australia (ERSA) - click the copyright notice first, then look at the ERSA section. Plenty of information for all Australian airports.
- COPA Places to Fly in Canada. Some information on Canadian airports. Good as external link. Category:WikiProjects Airports ja: :ウィキプロジェクト 空港・飛行場 see :WikiProject Airports
