WikiProject Ireland is a
WikiProject dedicated to improving
Wikipedia'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.
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.

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.
This article is within the scope of WikiProject Ireland, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of

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}}.
Articles that have been tagged with templates

Tagged with WPIE template
For a complete list of the progress in tagging Irish related articles with the project template, see
Wikipedia: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.

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.

Useful categories
Find articles of interest to edit or improve in the following categories:
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 Wikipedia page. DYN has a 5 day time limit from the creation of the article and must be 1500+ characters of prose.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by
JL-Bot (
talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is
tagged (e.g. {{
WikiProject Ireland}}) or
categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See
WP:RECOG for configuration options.
Until the creation of specific daughter projects, the project covers a wide range of subjects (History, Society, Geography, Politics, Biography etc.) and, as a result has no single parent to it.
