Tagging articles
Any article related to this task force should be marked with "19thC-task-force=yes", as follows to the {{WikiProject Novels|19thC-task-force=yes|19thC-importance=}}
project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:19th-century novels task force articles.
The resulting code is usually:
{{WikiProject Novels |class= |importance= |19thC-task-force=yes |19thC-importance= }}
To-do
- Tag articles! (see Category:19th-century novels and subcategories)
- Recruit more members!
- Collaborate and join the discussions. If you know things, teach! (If you don't know things, Ask.)
- Create new articles! There are plenty of 19th-century novels and shorter prose items still unaccounted for on Wikipedia! (see Needed Articles)
- Expand articles (or merge if appropriate). All of these stubs would welcome further care and attention.
- Look through featured articles and lists while getting familiar with and helping with assessment of prose fiction articles, and add relevant articles to the "Articles" section below.

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
