WikiProject Ireland is a WikiProject dedicated to improving Knowledge (XXG)'s coverage of topics related to the island of Ireland. This page and its subpages contain their ideas; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Knowledge (XXG):WikiProjects and Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject best practices.

This project has been created in an attempt to:

• Improve existing articles relating to Ireland,
• Create needed articles relating to Ireland, and
• Provide information in standardised format so that there is consistency for articles on places in, or related to Ireland.

Articles and categories relating to Ireland are extensive and work needs to be/is being done across a multitude of areas. In order to gain the benefits of collaboration, please update this page with any relevant "to do’s.

1. Get the main Ireland article to featured article status.
2. Improve at least several articles enough that they can become featured articles.
3. Aid the maintenance and improvement of the Ireland Portal and the Northern Ireland Portal

See: Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Members

See Knowledge (XXG):Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles)

For a full list of articles created since the project began, see Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Log.

1. Examine the number of red-links in articles within the scope, and determine if they should be de-linked, or that articles should be created.

See Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Templates

The WPI template follows the hierarchy structure found in Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Australia.

Articles which fall within our scope should be labeled as such on their talk pages. To do so, simply place {{WP Ireland}} at the top of article's talk page.

Category norms for Ireland can be found here: Ireland Category norms

• Category:WikiProject Ireland participants
• Create a category of Ireland related stubs

• The main Dublin article needs to achieve featured status.
• Every locality needs at least a 500-character stub article, built on top of its framework article.
• All areas of historic importance need substantial articles.
• The article on the Mahon Tribunal needs to be tidied up, verified, and fact-checked.
• Irish language words and phrases should be marked up using {{lang}}, thus: {{lang-ga|Páirc na hÉireann}}.

To list individual Ireland related articles need images fill in the "image-needed" parameter in the project tag {{WikiProject Ireland}} on the article talk page and it will be listed here

For a complete list of the progress in tagging Irish related articles with the project template, see Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Assessment and their current statistics.
Since July 2007, when 1,044 articles were tagged and many were unassessed or unclassified, much work was been done and by 19 March, 2008, 12,705 articles were tagged with none being unassessed and around 1,000 being unclassified, most being stubs. By mid-2008, over 20,000 pages had been tagged. As of the end of November 2017 a total of almost 60,000 project banners existed, of which less then 3,000 were for articles better than Start and Stub-class, which between them accounted for 34,000 pages, while category-class and template-class pages amounted to almost 20,000. By January 2022 we had reached over 90,000 pages tagged, with just 3,500 stubs left to be priority-rated. Much work can still be done to improve the Start and Stub-class articles and increase the number of higher quality articles, including securing more GA and FA pages.

In order to create a gallery from which Wikipedians can source pictures of Ireland for use in articles, upload to Wikimedia Commons and please list freely-licensed pictures here.

If you require pictures, please add {{Image requested}} with the appropriate county parameter to the talk page of the article. This will add the article to the correct category under Category:Knowledge (XXG) requested photographs in Ireland

If you would like to help with sourcing pictures please check out the sub-categories of Category:Knowledge (XXG) requested photographs in Ireland

Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Assessment - the assessment department

• Completed 30 Sept. 2022 - assessment of all articles tagged to the Project. Well done to all, it's been a long road (more than 1.5 decades...). Now we can refine at leisure. SeoR (talk) 19:55, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Find articles of interest to edit or improve in the following categories:

To Do List:

1. Invite new members, by contacting editors who have made substantial Ireland-related edits in the past
2. Fix templates to talk pages
3. Construct Article Classification by following the category 'tree'
4. Assess articles at Article Classification
5. Compile a list of missing articles and catalogue them by status - see Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Ireland/Missing articles

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Please feel free to list your new Ireland articles-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Knowledge (XXG) page. DYN has a 5 day time limit from the creation of the article and must be 1500+ characters of prose.
