Yes Has goals? Yes Assessment Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment Guide to WikiProjects • Directory of WikiProjects WikiProject Australia is a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Australia. This page and its subpages contain suggestions on formatting and style of articles, which can be discussed at the project's notice board. To participate, simply add your name to the project members page. Our goals To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of Australia. To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Australia by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles in a fair and accurate manner. To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Australia in Wikipedia. Project scope The project generally considers any article related to Australia to be a valid topic. As of 31 July 2026, there are 218,408 articles within the scope of WikiProject Australia, of which 609 are featured and 977 are good articles. This makes up 3.03% of the articles on Wikipedia, 5.16% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.19% of all good articles (see WP:AUSFG). Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 574,398 pages in the project.

Classification An assessment parameter (FA, FL, A, GA, B, C, Start, or Stub) causes the article to be rated and grouped into categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. Collaboration The Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every fortnight, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. Any articles dealing with some aspect of Australia (except for current featured articles and featured article candidates) are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles. As collaborative efforts have slowed, there is no current Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. Requested images The Requested images department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs, maps and images for use in Australia articles. The department gathers existing public domain and free-license maps as well as creating new ones from other materials where no suitable maps can be found. All project members are welcome to request additional maps that may be needed for particular articles from the department. Outreach The outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants. To do A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
