Would anyone be interested in joining a sub project of WP:Anthropology on oral tradition?

Can someone please help me on how to activate the Wikiproject Balochistan Category:WikiProject Balochistan, Pakistan participants. We have all the provinces activated except Balochistan. It is high importance for Pakistan: Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan as its one of the four provinces.

Yeah, right! I am also surprised to see that geographic stub types exist down to district level for Punjab and KP but not for Balochistan and Sindh. If small regions like Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan have own stub categories, Balochistan with its huge territory, clearly lacks coverage.

If there isn’t enough interest in reactivating a dedicated Wikipedia Project for Balochistan, which I would support, the province would benefit from at least having more structured support with dedicated geo-stubs, constituency-stub, and own MPA-stubs.

The real issue isn't about activating the WikiProject. It's the lack of active editors. As long as we have enough engaged editors working on Balochistan-related articles, the activity level of the WikiProject itself doesn't matter much. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:32, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240810103200","author":"Saqib","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Saqib-20240810103200-Crosji-20240810024200","replies":["c-SheriffIsInTown-20240810155800-Saqib-20240810103200"]}}-->

I have activated the project, but “use it or lose it” applies here—it will revert to inactive if there is no participation for a year.

Dear @SheriffIsInTown, thank you for this. And I will actively use it from now on.

Hi @SheriffIsInTown, I tried to tag one page but struggling to do that. Can you or someone else please help in showing me one example with the WP:Pakistan, Balochistan project.

I added it to Kalat page, you can see the command.

@Tribal Explorer It's now fixed. However, you'll need to use the Balochistan=y parameter for the WP Pakistan template, which should add the Balochistan banner.

@SheriffIsInTown Thank you. I see a difference still with other WP pages, like Pakistan: Sindh. Reference here, WP:Sindh. At Kalat, Balochistan page, it only says Pakistan only, and upon clicking show more, it shows a small line at the bottom. Just curios to know if we can fix it.
