• WikiProject Canada

The following is a list of other Wikiprojects which focus on a specific topic within the scope of Canada.

Some CanadianWikiProjects fall inactive or semi-active because they have a lack of interested editors or they simply have served their initial purpose of establishing an organizational structure, content assessment system, layout and navigational aids. These projects are retained for reference because they contain topic-specific considerations of the many site-wide policies and guidelines that apply to a subset of Canadian articles. SeeReviving WikiProjects. It may be best to direct questions toCanada's Wikiproject talk page.

8. For Map Requests Use {{reqmapin|British Columbia}} on talk page of articles needing maps which will list maps needed at:Category:Wikipedia requested maps in British Columbia. As an alternative using {{coord|50|28|N|126|05|W|display=title|region:CA_type:waterbody}}, for example, as it appears onJohnstone Strait gives a link to map/sat images that is a reasonable alternative. See{{coord}} for more information. Also consider adding link to BC Government place name database using{{BCGNIS}} template.
