Scope and Goals
The scope of the Logic task force is articles about reasoning, concepts in logic, critical thinking, history of logic, biographical articles about logicians, mathematical logic, foundations of mathematics, and set theory. Our goal is to find and identify all substantive forms of logic and expand the Wikipedia presence of those forms.
The task force is a descendant of WikiProject Philosophy, as logic is a major subfield of philosophy. The task force also serves as the group most focused on the Foundations field of WikiProject Mathematics. The task force keeps two worklists:
In addition, the task force places a high priority on the following goals:
Categories
The following categories are within the purview of the task force.
Philosophy
It is proposed that at some point we get a bot to tag the all the articles in these categories with the WikiProject Philosophy banner in the logic=yes field:
Mathematics
It is proposed that the WikiProject Mathematics take responsibility for these categories by tagging appropriate articles under WikiProject Mathematics with the field=foundations field:
Standards
In addition to the standards suggested for all Wikipedia articles, special attention to the following while expanding logic articles:
Guidlines for Philosophy articles
Guidlines for Mathematics articles
Logic-specific guidelines
These standards, as with all Wikipedia guidelines, are not obligatory. However, it should be noted that any article that is seeking featured article status should comply with these standards.
Note that new standards should be subjected to consensus building before being added here (a consensus should be reached on the discussion page).

Things to do
Looking for something to do? The following table lists some of the places on Wikipedia where Logic related requests, suggestions and tasks have been collected together.
Templates
Navigation Template
Putting {{logic}} at the bottom of a page will add this navigation template to it:
This template should be placed at the bottom of pages of all important articles about major logical topics. It appears originally as collapsed.
Portal Pointer
{{portalpar|Logic}} adds a box which leads to the combined philosophy category/portal. It looks like this:
It should appear at the bottom of each logic article, immediately before the categories list.
Task Box
{{LogicTasks}} will add the Philosophy WikiProject task list to a page. To add the pretty boxed version seen above, use {{LogicTasksBox}} instead. (Note: Both are case-sensitive.)
This list is regularly updated by participants, and is used for reporting pages that need attention. If you find such a page, feel free to edit Template:LogicTasks to add it to the list. Please add items to the task list by placing them at the top of the list. You may also remove items from the bottom of the list if it is too long.
If you wish to place the box on your own User or User_talk page, it would be much appreciated. (Keep in mind that the box is currently auto-justified to the right.)
Project pages
Putting {{philosophy|logic=yes}} will add this notice to it:
This article is within the scope of the WikiProject Philosophy, which collaborates on articles related to philosophy. To participate, you can edit this article or visit the project page for more details.
This message should be placed at the top of the talk pages of all philosophical logic articles.
Putting {{maths rating|field=foundations}} at the top of a page will add this notice to it:
This message should be placed at the top of the talk pages of all mathematical logic articles.
These messages should be placed at the top of the talk pages of all appropriate logic articles in the respective area mathematics or philosophy. This includes
Logician Infobox
Putting the text found at Template:Infobox Philosopher at the top of a biographical page will add a box for basic biographical information. This infobox is primarily a navigation tool. See the discussion at Template talk:Infobox Philosopher for more information.
Stubs
{{logic-stub}} will add the Template:logic-stub template to the page. This is how it looks:
This logic-related article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.Add it to the bottom of the discussion page of a logic-related stub. You can view a list of these stubs at Category:Logic stubs or by clicking on What links here on the template page.
Invitation to join this project
{{LogicInvit}} Will add the Template:LogicInvit template to the page. This is how it looks:
This is to be placed on the user:talk of potential participants. if you spot someone who might be interested in this project, place this template on their talk page. Don't forget to sign it - it looks more personal. Don't forget to check the Participants Roster first, just in case they are already a member.
You can view a list of who has received invitations by clicking on What links here on the template page.
