WikiPedia:WikiProject

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Note: WikiProjects are not Wikimedia sister projects.

A WikiProject is a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific family of information within Wikipedia. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles, but a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. The attached talk pages are a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project. Projects can also have associated Wikiportals.

Regional notice boards also seek to improve a broad category of articles based on geographical regions.

This page includes a list of WikiProjects.

Suggestions for new projects

  1. Read Wikiproject Best practices for tips on leading a WikiProject.
  2. Create the main project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject projectname. (See Starting a new page)
  3. Create an outline on your project page:
  4. Identify pages within the scope of your project:
    • A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
    • You will probably want to save a copy of the list on a project status subpage.
  5. Create a project to-do list to focus and coordinate your collaborative efforts.
  6. If possible, link to a sample article to give other Wikipedians a feel for the project's goals.
  7. Advertise!
