| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cal Invitation. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
A key part of having an active, effective group is increasing the member size. Here's some information on inviting members.
The entire member list can be found here.
Usage
- Look for members who have contributed to Bay Area related topics. They can be high-profile topics, such as San Francisco, or low-profile like a local school, street, BART station, etc.
- Check the history log to see what sort of contributions users have made.
- Go to talk pages. Users who comment on talk pages are more likely to be significant contributors. You can confirm this by checking their list of contributions.
- Look for members who live in the Bay Area. This may be indicated on their user page. You can also check categories such as Category:Wikipedians in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Once you've found the member you wish to invite, add the template to his or her talk page with
{{subst:SFBA Invitation}} ~~~~
- It's best to add a personal note, such as mentioning an article he or she has contributed to significantly.
