Working Groups can serve like guilds, but are focused on work "for the space" rather than directly "for members (of the guild)". In this usage, guilds harken back to mastery of a craft or trade in a certain area, wp:guild, while our working groups have goals they aim to achieve within the context of (at least) the makerspace's resources, wp:working group.

Working Groups should have

  • A wiki page to coordinate
    • With a place in the template hierarchy
    • With Slack and Discord channels
    • With Maintainers listed, ideally on a subpage, to support separate mw:Transclusion onto other pages.
    • A clear mission. And if applicable, goals to accomplish before disbanding.
    • A sponsoring Guild

Copy the source of this section into new WG pages, and gradually replace parts with appropriate information.

Or briefly, temporarily, transclude via {{:Category:WG}}
