The Public art task force of WikiProject Visual arts was originally conceived as WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Art. It became WikiProject Public art in 2010, then WikiProject Public Art in 2012, and finally, in 2023 the conversion to taskforce at WikiProject Visual arts/Public art was completed.

Move history edit

The move history of the task force page summarises very well the history of the project:

Subpages of the taskforce edit

During its time as a WikiProject, several task forces related to specific cities were spawned under it. All of them now lie dormant with no activity for over a decade. The lone exception of London public art now lies at Wikipedia:WikiProject London/Public art. [as of June 2023]

Every time the WikiProject (now taskforce) was moved to a new title, some older dormant task forces were left behind. The list of subpages provide an insight into what task forces once existed, that are no longer active. In the list below, only non-redirecting subpages are listed.
