Community portal

Welcome to the community portal. This is the place to find out what is happening on Wikipedia. Learn what tasks need to be done, what groups there are to join, and share news about recent events or current activities taking place on Wikipedia.

Help out

Wikipedia is, by number of articles, the largest encyclopedia ever to exist. However, many articles are stubs, or otherwise need attention. If you like, go ahead, be bold, and jump right in. If you are not ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration.

Things to do

General tasks
  • Patrol new pages and help improve new articles.
  • Category:Wikipedia backlog always needs attention.
  • Assess articles by quality or by importance—pick a topic of interest and grade according to that WikiProject's scale. (See links from article talk pages.)
  • Adopt a basic topic list (Outline), to help develop and maintain a table of contents to a major subject on Wikipedia.
  • Let SuggestBot suggest pages for you to improve.
  • Update pages with old (ref or note template) citations to the new references format.
  • Do you have a historical perspective? Articles slanted towards recent events might need to be looked at with a new eye.

Fix-up projects

Open tasks

{{Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask}} Not sure where to report a certain type of problem with article content? If it exists, it is probably listed at Wikipedia:Maintenance.


Collaborations

To improve the quality of articles that are short or lacking in detail, Wikipedia's community organizes collaborations to expand articles.


Other collaborations

Active improvement teams

WikiProjects

WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist—examine the master list to find one that interests you.

Language translation

Wikipedia is not just in English. Versions exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikipedia's gaps, we translate articles from other languages into English. You can view a list of articles that need translation from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).

Guidelines, help & resources

Wikipedia has many help pages, policies, and departments. Here are some of the most general. For a comprehensive list of Wikipedia's departments, see the Wikipedia department directory.

Policies and guidelines

This is a very brief sampling of some of the most important; for more information, see the main policies and guidelines page.
