Wikimedia subject-area collaboration
Welcome to the Africa WikiProject . This project covers all articles about people, places, things, and events associated with the African continent, not already covered by other WikiProjects . Our article alerts page is here .
A long-term drive to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations to Africa has commenced. If you want to help contribute, add your entries at the bottom of Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge .
As of 30 July 2026 , there are 122,167 articles within the scope of WikiProject Africa, of which 223 are featured and 759 are good articles . This makes up 1.69% of the articles on Wikipedia, 1.89% of all featured articles and lists, and 1.7% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 473,484 pages in the project.
Help reference Biographies of Living Persons from the list of Unreferenced BLPs (bot is inactive).
Articles for assessment:
Tag all Africa-relevant articles with {{WikiProject Africa|class= |importance= }} and an assessment.
Create all yet-uncreated project pages (those in red). See: List of missing Africa topics .
Create Africa subcategories and populate the created categories. Remove items from Category:Africa that ought to be in subcategories.
Fill out Economy templates to improve economic studies of each African country.
Copy edit Articles to be written or improved .

Format: # [[Article title]], class. Details on what should be done (optional). ~~~~
Ethiopian Civil War : Start-class; Top-importance for Africa, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia; listed as a level-4 vital article in History . Despite all of this, the article is sparse on details, entire sections lack sources, and overall, it does not cover this topic adequately at all. Marking this as needing expert attention for the past few months has, unfortunately, done very little to change this. If anyone has the knowledge or time to help improve this page, it would be greatly appreciated. XTheBedrockX (talk ) 23:36, 30 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Serengeti National Park The park is C-class and is Top Importance. This article has so much information about it online but a lack of any editors to help edit this page.This page gets about 300-200 visitors daily and it really deserves GA, Anyone who wishes to contribute, We welcome you.EpicSnek Talk to me here 00:19, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Languages of Ghana is start-class, top importance. The article itself is fine, but many – I could even say most – of the articles linked within it are poorly-written. Compare, for example, the old version of the page on the Fante dialect , before I edited it, to the current Fante dialect page, which is still far from finished. Linguistics is my area of expertise, but not African linguistics, so if anyone is able to assist with editing those language pages, I believe it's necessary. Lingvulo (talk ) 23:38, 26 December 2019 (UTC) reply
African independence movements This article is nowhere near exhaustive. It fails to address many African independence movements. For the ones it does address, the perspective is strictly European and does not indicate when independence was gained. There are also 0 citations. I would like to help improve the article but am not a subject matter expert. I had just read it for leisure as I'm currently reading Unity and Struggle by Amilcar Cabral and wanted to get some more background – which I somehow got even less background from this article.
Healthcare in Malawi start-class, ranked top-importance. I would like to restructure this article and add a number of more specific sections that are clearly articulated and cited. There are a number of scholarly/reliable sources that I would like to draw from, one example is the world fact book for updates data on health indicators. I am a student that is very interested in this topic and am working on this article for a class at Rice University. Any input/guidance is greatly appreciated. A more comprehensive contribution proposal can be found on my user page. Brookeethleen (talk ) 00:01, 9 October 2013 (UTC) reply
If your subjects have to do with countries that do not use English as an official language, in addition to posting your image requests on the list, on the talk page(s) of the subject(s), and on the Wikimedia Commons (Commons:Commons:Picture requests ), please also post them on the photograph request lists on other Wikipedias.
