The Vanuatu WikiProject is a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Vanuatu.

Scope and goals

Our goals

• To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Vanuatu by creating, expanding, and maintaining related articles.
• To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of Vanuatu.
• To help new Vanuatu editors learn the ropes of Wikipedia.
• To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Vanuatu in Wikipedia.

Our scope

The Vanuatu Wikiproject generally considers any article related to Vanuatu as a valid topic.

Milestones

• 500 articles: - 30 August 2016
• 750 articles: - 2 February 2021
• 1000 articles: - 5 March 2024

Departments

Assessment

The Assessment department will focus on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Vanuatu related articles. This will aid us in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Collaboration

The Vanuatu Collaboration 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.

Any articles dealing with some aspect of Vanuatu are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles and help improve it.

Outreach

The outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants. We aim to invite new Wikipedia contributors who recently edited a Vanuatu related article to join the project.

Photography

The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in Vanuatu articles. These may be self-taken or obtained with permission from online sources.
