Welcome to the Help Project.

Some Wikipedians have formed this project to better organize information in articles related to the help system on Wikipedia. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that the guidelines developed here will help coordinate efforts to improve the help system. If you would like to help, please add your name to the participants list below, and check the talk page to see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope

The goal of this project is to improve Wikipedia's help system: to make it easier for new users to learn how to use and contribute to this encyclopedia, and to make it easier for all users to find the information they need to know about Wikipedia and how it works.

[edit] Subobjectives include:

Improve help pages' organization and streamline the system
- Reduce the number of clicks and scrolls needed to find the desired help
- Merge or delete redundant help pages

[edit] Subpages include:

Wikipedia:Help Project/Link repository - collecting links to ensure comprehensive coverage of the help system.

[edit] Family tree / Hierarchy definition

The Help Project's sister project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability, substantially overlaps with this project, and could use help from people on this project.
