A WikiProject is an affinity group for contributors with shared goals within the Wikimedia movement. WikiProjects are prevalent within the largest wiki, Wikipedia, and exist to varying degrees within sibling projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikisource. They also exist in different languages, and translating articles is a form of collaboration among them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS News noted the role of Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine in maintaining the accuracy of articles related to the disease. Another WikiProject that has drawn attention is WikiProject Women Scientists. Smithsonian profiled the project for its efforts to improve coverage of women scientists. The profile noted had "helped increase the number of female scientists on Wikipedia from around 1,600 to over 5,000".
