Welcome to WikiProject Canada on the English Wikipedia! This project was formed to foster better articles on the country of Canada with a spirit of cooperation. The project is a home base that provides a place for Wikipedians (editors) to discuss issues and share information and resources regarding improvements to Canadian related articles, which can be discussed at the project's talk page. For a listing of ongoing discussions and current requests, see Canadian article alerts. To join WikiProject Canada (anyone may join), simply list your username on the members page. Note: Don't need an account or be listed on the members page to participate in the project - as ALL are welcome! 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 19 March 2025, there are 149,802 articles within the scope of WikiProject Canada, of which 292 are featured and 916 are good articles. This makes up 2.15% of the articles on Wikipedia, 2.58% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.22% of all good articles (see: Canadian Featured content). Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 299,604 pages in the project.
It is recommended that Project members add each of the following Project pages to their watchlists.
Below are other Canadian related Wikimedia Foundation groups collaborating with this project.
The following is a list of Wikiprojects which focus on a specific topic within the scope of Canada.
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.
