WikiProject Yorùbá is a project covering the scope of topics related to Yorùbáland, the Yorùbá and the Yoruba language. WikiProject Yoruba was created on February 13, 2011 and is aimed at bringing together all Yorùbá related articles under one project to effectively monitor the coverage of these topics and in order for a community of users interested in the topics to form. Any users interested in contributing to the scope of articles covered or are already active in contributing can add their username under the 'Participants' section on this page.
