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
Project scopeThe project generally considers any article related to Australia to be a valid topic. As of 16 March 2026, there are 215,037 articles within the scope of WikiProject Australia, of which 600 are featured and 946 are good articles. This makes up 3.01% of the articles on Wikipedia, 5.15% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.17% of all good articles (see WP:AUSFG). Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 561,200 pages in the project. Project organisationIf you wish to help out, please add your name to the list of participants.
The following pages serve as tables of contents or indexes to Australia-related content on Wikipedia. They need to be developed, and maintained:

The WikiProject Australia assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Australian articles.
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.
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.
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.
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.
