WikiProject United Kingdom was formed with the intent of improving articles and coverage related to theUnited Kingdom in afair andaccurate manner, with an emphasis on subjects with national significance. Editors are encouraged to also participate in the more regional and/or topic specific UK related projects listed below.

As of28 November 2025, there are50,214 articles within the scope of WikiProject United Kingdom, of which268 arefeatured and910 aregood articles. This makes up 0.71% of the articles on Wikipedia, 2.32% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.12% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are171,676 pages in the project.

The following WikiProjects and task forces also deal with UK-related content:

It is expected that as this project grows we will be able to branch out into notice boards for the individual countries of the UK. It is intended that these will run alongside the main UK board.

• Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board
• Wikipedia:Northern Irish Wikipedians' notice board
• Wikipedia:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board
• Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board

Note that Wikipedians in Northern Ireland may also be found atWikipedia:Irish Wikipedians' notice board.

• {{Meetup-UK}} (see below) is now available for your use. It uses the same format as{{meetup}}, so content can be copied from one to the other; and emitshCalendar microformats for your convenience.Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing);Andy's talk;Andy's edits23:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The{{Meetup-UK}} template includes the categoryWikipedia meetups in the United Kingdom and so an article using the template will be listed on the category page.

Most UK public libraries offer their members access to a wide range of online resources which can be accessed from any computer (e.g. at home or work, without having to physically visit the library). These can includeThe Times archive 1785-1985,Oxford Dictionary of National Biography,Oxford English Dictionary, 19th-century newspapers,Newsbank (current national and regional newspapers),Encyclopedia Britannica and more. They also usually offer further databases which are for in-library use only. Find your local library's website and look for "Online resources" or "24 hour library". You will need to join the library, and have a membership number, to use the online resources: some libraries allow you to join online.
