Some Wikipedians have formed a project to try and raise the caliber of the information on Shinto in Wikipedia. Part of the problem is that there have not been an incredible amount of articles written for increasing Wikipedia's knowledge on Shinto, which something that needs to be fixed.

• VanillaX - Even though I myself am Christian, I feel like Shinto is important to have more information on. It is the basis for a lot of Japan's culture and needs to be recognized as a more mainstream religion.
• Moerou toukon - glad to be here; will try and expand sections of the mythological figures.

Goal

This WikiProject aims to improve the quality and quantity of information about Shinto, its Kami, and its notable figures on Wikipedia.

Ways to complete our Goal

1. Create more quality articles on Shinto, its Kami, and its notable figures.
2. Create more sub-categories to the category of Shinto so that all aspects of Shinto are easily accessible.
3. Add quality information to Shinto related stubs.
4. Attract attention from editors interested in Shinto and Shinto-related topics.
5. Assess our articles with the Assessment department.
6. One way to attract more attention is to add the {{Shinto}} template to the Talk page of appropriate articles:

1. Add all articles that fall within the scope of this project to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Shinto/Articles list.
2. Check recent changes for recent improvements, other changes, or vandalism to these articles.
3. Check Category:Shinto articles needing attention for articles requiring immediate attention.

Conventions

Follow the guidelines for naming shrines and temples, part of the Manual of Style for Japan-related articles.
