Scope[edit]
I, TydeNet, hereby wish to implement a WikiProject on Climate, with the main objective being the creation of a "Climate" infobox to place on specific city pages, etc. Despite the huge detail embodied in Wikiproject Cities, this very important element was found lacking.
Ideally, I'd like a sort of table that also converts numerical data into a graph to be displayed above the table. Unfortunately, I think this is above my level of programming prowess, thus the need for a Project. I'd like everyone's help here!

Pages needing attention[edit]
Wikipedia:Pages needing attention listings are no longer being updated. For by-topic listings of articles that need attention, see:
To flag an article for attention, add a cleanup template to the article or talk page. See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for a listing. All previously listed articles have been either fixed or tagged.
Project details[edit]
The basic essence of the project is to first of all implement a basic Climate Table, and then build on it from there.
Future programming of said infobox (e.g. to transpose data into a graph) should be postponed until the basic Climate table is off the ground.
