::In the case of WPMED, we have a detailed importance scale at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment#Importance scale]] and anything involving laws is <code>|importance=Low</code> by default. It could perhaps be argued that since [[Cannabis]] is "High", then a major subtopic of cannabis could be "Mid", but the group is never going to agree that [[Legality of cannabis]] is more important to them than [[Cannabis]] itself, or more important than medical conditions that routinely appear in top-10 lists of causes of death.

:::Does WikiProject Medicine even cover causes of death? Because that is within the scope of WikiProject Death. [[User:Dimadick|Dimadick]] ([[User talk:Dimadick#top|talk]]) 04:55, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

::::[[Cause of death]] is marked as mid-importance for WPMED on the talk page. It could be argued that it should be high-importance, but it won't make top-importance. We provide pretty detailed information about how to rate for priority, if you want [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment|to read it]].

== Adding articles to WikiProjects ==

I believe the [[WP:WikiProject Discrimination|Discrimination WikiProject]] is inactive. [[User:Butlerblog|ButlerBlog]] ([[User talk:Butlerblog|talk]]) 13:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

:{{tps}}{{Ping|Butlerblog}} lots of WikiProjects are inactive, but that doesn't mean new pages should not be tagged for them:

:# inactive ≠ defunct

:# talk page inactivity does not necessarily mean project inactivity

:# new pages might be enough to revitalize a project, and limiting or removing pages from a project is a surefire way to defunct it

:# I frequently find myself using inactive projects' categories for projects I'd never consider myself a participant of

:# just in case, when tagging pages with an inactive project, I generally like to have at least 1 labeled-active project to back it up

Why did you add the template "Discrimination" to the article [[Christian fundamentalism]]? - [[Special:Contributions/91.65.129.18|91.65.129.18]] ([[User talk:91.65.129.18|talk]]) 14:41, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

::::Thats not what "discrimination" is -[[Special:Contributions/91.65.129.18|91.65.129.18]] ([[User talk:91.65.129.18|talk]]) 15:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

:IP editor: re [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AChristian_fundamentalism&diff=1249161278&oldid=1249160847], the addition of an article to a project does not require discussion. It's not the same as adding a contentious label within the article or a categorization that is not supported. This is merely adding the article to a project that is interested in it. If an article is of interest to a project, the article can be added to the project without discussion. [[User:Butlerblog|ButlerBlog]] ([[User talk:Butlerblog|talk]]) 15:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
