Notice: The Graphics Lab is always in need of a helping hand; All are welcome to try their hand at the requests! |
The Graphics Lab helps improve all graphical content stored on Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia.
Wikigraphists work to improve the quality of images that are proposed to them by the community. This involves work such as extracting key elements from photos, improving the color of images or emphasizing the main subject, 'stitching' multiple images together and often vectorizing images (converting to SVG). We also create new drawings, diagrams and maps when requests are made to do so.
Interested in helping out? Then go to the Images to improve page, and start improving. You can also add your entry to Wikigraphist abilities and yourself to Category:Wikigraphist. Can't draw a thing? You can still help us: We really need people to find images that need improvement and to submit them. Anyone can make requests, even unregistered users.
For examples of work done by the Graphic Lab, see the archives of past work.
An ongoing effort to map the various pages of the Graphic Lab. The Top-level category for the Graphic Lab is Category:Graphic Lab. See also this link for the prefix checker

[edit] Main Page
- Wikipedia:Graphic Lab
- Talk Page: Wikipedia talk:Graphic Lab is the best place to discuss anything GL-related, apart from improving images, which should go to Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Images to improve.
- Shortcuts WP:GL, WP:GRAPHLAB, WP:Graphics.
- The GL design has been heavily modified and now uses lots of templates and transclusion. If you're interested in the layout of the GL page, or even considering starting a Graphic Lab in another language, you may wish to see this archive page. This was the last hard-coded page to be used.
- Also Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Research and Development
