About the project

This project is formed by Wikipedians to increase, expand, improve, and better organize articles related to Animation. This page and its subpages contain our suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in this field. Some project goals are to help list and categorize animation related articles, develop quality standards for articles and build templates that help users browse the articles that fall under this project.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. The scope also provides a place for Wikipedians to share information and resources regarding improvements to all animation-related articles. Here, editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overlooked articles and problems, to the attention of other editors. If you are interested in joining the WikiProject, please feel free to add your name to the Participants list below, and find yourself an article to adopt.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
