Aims
[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.
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:
