For this project's talk page, see Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board.

Some Wikipedians have formed a WikiProject to better organise information in articles related to New Zealand. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please enquire on the talk page.

NZ biographies

[edit]

Many New Zealand biographies are yet to be written, including for many people who have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The Women in Red project which supports the creation of biographies about women, has developed a Wikidata list of red linked women from New Zealand based on articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. Please note the guideline for notability of New Zealand people.

Requested images

Shortcut

If an article needs an image add {{Image requested|in=New Zealand}} to the articles' talk page.

When assessed, the class and importance parameters are filled in, like this:

{{WPNZ|class=Start|importance=Mid}}
