group of contributors who work together to improve Wikipedia

AI overview

A WikiProject is a group of Wikipedia volunteers who organize themselves around a shared interest—like a particular topic, region, or type of article—to coordinate their efforts in improving that area of the encyclopedia. WikiProjects matter because they help make Wikipedia more comprehensive and consistent by allowing contributors to collaborate on common goals rather than working in isolation.

Encyclopedic overview

A WikiProject is a group of contributors who want to work together as a team to improve Wikipedia. These groups often focus on a specific topic area (for example, WikiProject Mathematics or WikiProject India), a specific part of the encyclopedia (for example, WikiProject Disambiguation), or a specific kind of task (for example, checking newly created pages). The English Wikipedia currently has over 2,000 WikiProjects, about 1,000 of which are monitored by 30–2,000 editors, all with varying levels of activity.
