For this project's talk page, see Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board.

Some Wikipedians have formed a WikiProject to better organise information in articles related to New Zealand. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please enquire on the talk page.

The current time in New Zealand is 00:18, 30 July 2026 NZST [refresh]

Some are listed as semi-active (as of May 2026). There's one honorary Kiwi in the list as he is Australian, but has done heaps of work on New Zealand topics.

NZ biographies

[edit]

Many New Zealand biographies are yet to be written, including for many people who have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The Women in Red project which supports the creation of biographies about women, has developed a Wikidata list of red linked women from New Zealand based on articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. Please note the guideline for notability of New Zealand people.

Requested images

[edit]
Shortcut

If an article needs an image add {{Image requested|in=New Zealand}} to the articles' talk page.

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New Zealand lists all pages for which an image has been requested. Suitable historic photos may be found on the website of the National Library; please follow these instructions.
