Sea anemones from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (Art forms of Nature) of 1904.

Welcome to WikiProject Biology, a WikiProject for discussing biology-related articles, editing issues, projects, and guidelines. The purpose of this project is to provide common ground for editors working in all biology-related projects, for seeking advice or requesting help from a broader community of biology editors, and for coordinating the categorization of biology articles. Please join us for discussion!

Overview

WikiProject Biology serves as a metaproject coordinating multiple subprojects. As a whole, WikiProject Biology and its subprojects maintain tens of thousands of articles, categories, templates, and other pages. However, WikiProject Biology itself only directly tags articles which pertain to the science of biology as a whole, which are relevant across many disciplines, or in some cases those which represent the field of biology as a whole to the public.

Related WikiProjects

WikiProject Biology is a daughter project of WikiProject Science. We serve as a meta-project with several subprojects under our purview. The organization of these is presented below in a cladogram. WikiProject Molecular Biology is a proposed merger of WP:BIOP, WP:COMBIO, WP:GEN, and WP:MCB and their taskforces into a single project. This and other merges may change this diagram in the future. See discussion here.

To see activity levels and active editors for these projects, see the Wikiproject Directory tool and look for the project in question. Clicking on a project will give further information.

Article assessment

• Assessment – the assessment unit, which provides information about Biology articles rated by quality and importance, and the project's criteria for article quality grading.

Category maintenance

(All stats updated June 9, 2019) It is difficult to compile statistics for such a large category and its subcategories: however, PetScan revealed 56527 total articles going down to 3 subcategories (PSID 9644858). There are certainly even more than that, because many subcategories do extend well beyond 3 sublevels. The key is that there are far more articles under the scope of WikiProject Biology than just what is shown by the talk page banner or our stats table.

Many biology categories are in bad shape. They tend to fill up with articles on minor topics that are better placed in subcategories (or sub-subcategories, etc.). A little maintenance of the top category and 30 subcategories would go a long way towards keeping articles properly sorted. These are listed below.

Main category: Biology (30 C, 133 P)

Contains well over 56,527 articles in all as of June 9, 2019.

Subcategories:

1. Biology-related lists (9 C, 95 P)
2. Category:Branches of biology (40 C, 37 P)
3. Biologists (13 C, 3 P)
4. Biology awards (7 C, 121 P)
5. Biocides (19 C, 22 P, 1 F)
6. Biological classification (6 C, 40 P)
7. Biological records (4 C, 26 P)
8. Biological systems (3 C, 15 P)
9. Biology education (1 C)
10. Biology software (5 C, 2 P)
11. Biotechnology (49 C, 376 P)
12. Biological censuses (1 C, 14 P)
13. Biological concepts (7 C, 20 P)
14. Biology and culture (10 C, 28 P)
15. Bioscience education (3 C, 11 P)
16. Eukaryote biology (4 C, 3 P)
17. Biological evolution (15 C, 38 P)
18. History of biology (15 C, 48 P)
19. Biological interactions (7 C, 35 P)
20. Philosophy of biology (9 C, 72 P)
21. Biological processes (12 C, 39 P)
22. Quantum biology (14 P)
23. Standardized tests for Biology (1 P)
24. Biological techniques and tools (9 C, 71 P)
25. Biology terminology (10 C, 134 P)
26. Unsolved problems in biology (2 C, 4 P)
27. Biological waste (3 C, 5 P)
28. Biology stubs (23 C, 238 P)
29. Biology templates (26 C, 87 P)
