WikiProject Christianity

Greetings! WikiProject Christianity was formed in 2006 to better organize information in articles related to Christianity. This page and its sub-pages contain links and information about the project. This project's goal is to help focus and coordinate the efforts of Wikipedians on Christianity related topics, and increase article quality and coverage.

As a group, we do not prefer any particular tradition or denomination of Christianity, but endeavor that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented. The project now includes a wide range of articles on multiple denominations.

The project noticeboard can be used to make suggestions to, or seek the help and opinion of other project members. Adding it to your watchlist will keep you informed of Christianity related events. If you'd like to join and become a part of this project, simply sign the Membership Page. To receive our Ichthus newsletter, just add your name to the list here.

Type a title:
and click "Create page"


  1. Create a new page.
  2. Create an outline for the article you started:

  5. Populate your article with images such as obtained from Wikimedia Commons, image list, or by posting a request for an image from other Wikipedians.
  6. Add the appropriate categories.
    • Since categories at the bottom of the articles interwiki linked in your article may be appropriate to place in your article, go through each interwiki link in your article and review the categories at the bottom of the linked article for inclusion in your article.
  7. Confirm that the interwiki links, footnotes, and external (non-wiki) links in your article go where you want them to go.
  8. Post an article request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for each broken (red) interwiki link in your article OR remove the double brackets around the broken interwiki link OR write that article as well (these are your only three choices).
  9. Publicize your article by ...
  10. Request peer review of your article ONLY after you believe that you completed all the above steps.
  11. Relax! and take a break if you reached this point. You deserve it!
