The AfroCreatives WikiProject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African cultural and creative industries, as well as African cultural enthusiasts, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. AfroCreatives WikiProject +film is the inaugural effort of AfroCreatives WikiProject. By mobilizing African film creatives, professionals, experts, and film enthusiasts, ACWP +film aims to measurably enhance information on Wikipedia about the art and industry of African film, including:
As of 25 August 2024, there are 7,733 articles within the scope of WikiProject AfroCreatives, of which 5 are featured and 14 are good articles.

Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 18,544 pages in the project.

A stub is any article that has only basic information while omitting important aspects of the topic. There is no exact size that defines a stub, but most articles under 250–300 words are considered stubs. Articles with more than 500 words are rarely stubs. You can identify and expand stubs into useful articles by first searching by country.

A priority for AfroCreatives WIkiProject is to encourage not just an increase in the volume of Wikipedia edits, but a continued improvement in the quality of edits. The assessment ratings are a vital measure of the quality of articles in the African film and television category. They are equally useful for ACWP and our community of editors to evaluate and track the progress of individual articles as well as of the category more broadly.
The assessment ratings mentioned here (see below table) have no relationship whatsoever to grading in education or review scores like A/B/C/D/F or other rating systems (10-point scale, 5-star system, etc.) that you might see on homework and product reviews. They represent the amount of work needed to bring the article to the next rating, which depends on both the quality of the writing and the depth of coverage of the topic, which greatly varies by subject.
Note that the differences between Stub, Start, and C classes are fairly subjective; at those ratings, the best way to improve the article is to look at the specific criteria for B-Class and aim to satisfy those. Learn more
The overwhelming majority of African film and TV articles are stubs. ACWP aims for a majority of articles to graduate to a minimum status of Start while always aiming for higher.
