Welcome to the Cryptozoology WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to cryptozoology and cryptids.

Goals
  • The goal of this WikiProject is to provide complete coverage on subjects related to cryptids, by expanding articles on cryptids, and stories about them.
Scope
  • This project proposes to work with all pages related to animals identified as cryptids, their history, geographical diffusion, and related places and people. We will specifically deal with all articles contained in the Category:Cryptozoology and its subcategories.
  • This project includes articles of former cryptids now accepted by science.
What Wikiproject Cryptozoology is not
  • This project (like all others) is not a fringe view platform (See WP:Fringe). All users are welcome (and needed) to contribute and are invited to do so.

Other tasks

To use the cryptid infobox template for all the creatures, real and imaginary, within the scope of this project. This would include:

  • The best and clearest (but not necessarily most famous) picture of the creature. If no picture is available, simply don't include anything in this space.
  • Alternate names for the creature.
  • The areas where the creature has been sighted, as specifically as possible.
  • Whether or not the creature is believed to be hostile towards humans or domestic animals.
  • The approximate height (or length for quadrupeds and sea creatures) and weight of the creature.
  • The creature's diet, if known.
  • The type of creature (use the types such as primate, etc. already present on the cryptids page. Perhaps these terms could be revised?)
  • The articles should also contain information on the specific myths and stories, if any, relating to the subject cryptid.

Below is the template for Cryptid classification:

{{Template:Infobox paranormal creatures}}
