The Prussia task force is a collaboration to organise articles about Prussia. There is clearly far too much information about Prussia to be confined to a single page. This project originally concentrated on just the Kingdom of Prussia, but now it will cover all periods, including modern.

In addition to developing articles on the geopolitical subdivisions of Prussia, this task force is also a place for the coordination of all other articles related to Prussia. WikiProject Prussia was inactive for most of the 2010s, and has even been turned into a task force of WikiProject Germany, but with your help, suns that have set may rise again.

Short Term Goals:

Create an open tasks page

Increase membership significantly

Long Term Goals:

Bring the article Prussia to featured article status

Improve all Prussia related articles

For any Prussia-related entries on Wikipedia, place one of the following on the talk page:

• {{WikiProject Germany|Prussia=yes}} in order to set importances for both WikiProject Germany and WikiProject Prussia. To set the importance for Prussia here, use the {{{PrussiaImp}}} parameter.
• or {{subst:Prussia task force}} if you don't want, or don't need to set an importance for WikiProject Germany. In that substitution, {{{PrussiaImp}}} is assigned to the {{{importance}}} parameter you would normally use for WikiProject Germany's importance.

{{User WP Prussia}}

{{History of Brandenburg and Prussia}}, used for the main states involved in the history of Brandenburg and Prussia.

To invite people into this project, place {{WikiProject Prussia invite}} on the person, of whom you want to invite's talk page.

Anyone who is interested to improve Prussia-related articles can join this project. Then consider putting your name in here.

There are many unknown-importance articles that need to be assessed. One can help get the unknown articles assessed by going to a random unassessed page.

The articles shall be organized in a hierarchy that matches the administrative structure of the Prussian Kingdom as it existed in 1905. Alternate organizations (before and after this time) can be made if sufficient material can be found to accompany the division breakdowns. Otherwise, the alternate organizations should be treed in the main article.

The article hierarchy is therefore:

• Kingdom of Prussia
  • Provinces (example: Province of Posen)
    • Admin districts ("Regierungsbezirke") (example: Bromberg district)
      • Counties ("Kreise") (example: Kreis Kolmar)
        • Civil registration districts ("Standesämter") (example: Standesamt Kolmar)

Examples: See these articles for examples of the structure, organization and linkage

In the Standesämter series of articles, links to the towns will be to the article for the current day version of the town, which may use the current name in a language other than German if the town is no longer part of Germany. These town articles should contain the entire history of that town, so it would be unnecessary to create pages for only the history of the scope of this project. ---->
