 Welcome to Wikipedia for beginners, in this video we'll look at wiki projects. Wiki projects are where groups of people work together on a specific topic, this could be Australian biota, Australian music, jazz, cinema, football, whatever you can think of there's probably a wiki project dedicated to it. Let's take a look at wiki project Australia. To find this project type wp colon wiki project australia in the search box and click search. We'll look at how to find other projects soon, but for now let's look at wiki project Australia. Not all project pages look exactly the same, but they are usually pretty similar. On the main project page you can see their goals, and links at the top to a list of articles to improve, a to-do list, a notice board for discussion, and others. Scrolling down under subprojects there is a table of the number of articles covered by this project, ranked by quality of importance. Because this is wiki project Australia all of these articles are in some way related to Australia. Let's click on one of these numbers under start quality. We're now on a page listing all articles under this project that have been rated as start quality, and by clicking on one of these links in the list we'll go to the wikipedia article. A start quality article usually is one that needs more information or improvements. In this example the article just needs more references. Going back to wiki project Australia, under subprojects, there's also this list of wiki projects related to wiki project Australia, for example wiki project Australian music. Going there shows a similar project page with information on pages within the project scope relating to Australian music. There's also a list of members where people have added their username and what topics they're interested in improving. You can add yourself to this list by editing the page, adding a hashtag, and clicking the signature button. This will add your username. Click public changes when you're done. If you want to talk to other people interested in this project, go to the talk page. Click talk at the top of the page, and then click add topic to start a new topic. You can also scroll down and reply to other conversations and messages already there. Not every project is active, and even projects like wiki project Australian music that have several members might not have many currently active members as people come and go. But wiki projects are extremely useful if you have a group of people wanting to work together, so if you have some friends wanting to work on Australian music content, why not use the talk page on wiki project Australian music to coordinate your work, as it will allow others to join in too. But how do you find the project that is right for you? There are two ways. The first is to go to a wikipedia article on a topic you're interested in. Let's look at this one about the jazz musician Freddie Logan. Click on the talk page, and above the discussion you can see a box with wiki projects this article is related to. There's wiki project biography, wiki project Australia, and wiki project jazz. Let's look at jazz. Just like the wiki project Australia page, the wiki project jazz page has information on article quality, a list of members, and some suggested sources to help you in your research. The talk page here is also quite active, and has several archives of previous discussions which can be browsed. This would be a good place to get help if you're working on wikipedia articles about jazz. But there's a second way to find wiki projects. In the search box at the top of wikipedia, type wp colon project. This will take you to a page about wiki projects. Here you can search for projects, or there are directories if you'd rather browse. Clicking on the manually curated link takes you to this page. Then, if you want to find a project about music, you'd click music to find a list of projects by genre, nationality, or bands etc. Clicking on any of these will take us to the project page, and then you can join in their community. You can also create your own projects, and back on the wiki project page there is information on how to do that. Happy editing!
