Main        Members        Assessment       Recent changes to Canidae articles WikiProject Dogs This WikiProject is about Canidae Shortcut WP:DOGS WP:DOG Portal Dogs Wikimedia Commons Dogs Project banner template {{WikiProject Dogs}} Userbox {{User WikiProject Dogs}} Goals The goals of this project are to create, expand, and maintain articles related to Canidae and Dogs in general, and bring as many as we can up to either good article or featured article standard. To do this, we are developing a variety of departments, including: Featured article review Mixed-breed dog is currently in featured article review. If you can help to improve the article to address the deficiencies currently being found, please do so. many of these breeds do not have their normals name used they are more likely called by their biological names which can make it more confusing hence request you to mention their normal names too. Requested articles Several red links exist in dog related articles, and there are also several other pages which have been requested to be created. They can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Requested articles. Stubs Stub dog articles can be found here. Category:Stub-Class Dogs articles Category:Dog stubs Scope The scope of this project is those articles contained in the Category:Canines, and any other articles which directly pertain to dogs.

Collaboration - Still in the development phase. Gallery - a collection of some of our best pictures. Top-importance articles - Where all members should feel free to indicate which articles they think are of top importance to the project and thus the ones we might focus a significant part of our attention to improving in the short term. Sister project Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds has several years of intense activity recorded in various talk pages and subpages, originally intended for ensuring that all dog breed articles are consistent, but in fact has served the purpose of project:dogs for most of that time. Refer there specifically for details about breed articles and also for history of policies and decisions on dog-related articles in general. Therefore, this project should cover articles outside the dog breed project scope. See also, WikiProject Veterinary Medicine.
