The '''WikiProject Council''' is a group of Wikipedians that encourage and assist with the development of active [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProjects]]. WikiProject council pages are also a central point for inter-WikiProject discussion.

# Document best practices for WikiProject structure and operation; see the [[/Guide|WikiProject Guide]] and [[/Guide/Task forces|Task Force Guide]].

# Provide a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council|central forum]] for discussing issues of interest to a wide range of WikiProjects.

# Assist in the formation of new WikiProjects and revitalization of dormant WikiProjects. We manage the [[/Proposals|WikiProject proposals]] page and [[/Guide#Tools_for_WikiProjects|catalog tools]] available for building and maintaining WikiProjects. If you need help getting started, just ask at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council|talk page]]!

# Maintain a [[/Directory|directory of WikiProjects]] to help interested editors find communities with similar interests.

There's no formal list of participants here, so there's no need to sign up. To help out, just monitor the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council|talk page]] and join ongoing discussions! You can also help to update the manual [[/Directory|WikiProject Directory]] by checking to see if section listings are up-to-date.
