Our project is dedicated to improving articles and coverage related to Canada in a fair and accurate manner, with an emphasis on subjects with national significance. Some project goals are to help improve vital articles, continue developing quality standards, maintain and expand templates, lists, portals and categories in a manner that helps users browse the articles that fall under this project's scope. Editors are encouraged to participate in the more regional and/or topic specific Canadian Wikiprojects.
As of 25 July 2024, there are 147,166 articles within the scope of WikiProject Canada, of which 279 are featured and 884 are good articles. This makes up 2.15% of the articles on Wikipedia, 2.55% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.21% of all good articles (see: Canadian Featured content). Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 436,264 pages in the project.
Project organization and collaborators
It is recommended that Project members add each of the following Project pages to their watchlists.
The Canadian Manual of Style is a guide applicable to all Canadian Wikipedia articles. It presents Canadian styles, and is intended to help editors to produce articles with proper Canadian language, layout, and formatting that are consistent, clear, and precise.
The outlines are hierarchical lists of topics. Each outline summarizes an entire subject, and Wikipedia's coverage of it, such as Canada, one of its provinces or territories, or a city. Each outline serves as a guide to its subject, and as a table of contents or site map of Wikipedia on that subject.
