Requests for New Zealand related articles can be found here. Please add any articles you would like created, or believe are missing to the list there. If you create an article and it meets the criteria, please consider nominating it at Did you know.

List an article here if the article requires an image. If an article needs an image add {{reqphotoin|New Zealand}} to the articles' talk page. Also see Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New Zealand

Also, there are no images of any of the New Zealand railway locomotive classes listed here (either on the main locomotives page or on the class-specific articles), nor are there images of operating railway lines or relics of closed lines for any of the lines with individual articles on the list of New Zealand railway lines.

[edit] Project banner

Insert {{WPNZ}} into any new New Zealand article's talk page for it to be recognised and assessed under WikiProject New Zealand. For assessment purposes, it is more helpful for the assessor if an empty assessment project banner is inserted:

{{WPNZ|class=|importance=}}

These both display the same banner. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters and helps organise relevant articles for improvement. When assessed, the class and importance parameters are filled in (for example): {{WPNZ|class=FA|importance=high}} and the banner looks like this:

Flag WikipediaWikiProject New Zealand is part of WikiProject New Zealand, which aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of New Zealand and New Zealand-related topics. If you would like to participate, visit the project page.
