This article will address the topic of Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology, which has gained relevance in recent years due to its impact in different areas. Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology has captured the attention of researchers, experts and the general public for its influence in the social, economic, political, cultural spheres, among others. Its importance lies in its ability to generate significant changes and its implications in today's society. In this sense, the various facets of Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology will be analyzed in detail, in order to understand its scope and significance in the current context.
This is a community dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of psychology, including theories, research, disorders and psychotherapy. Its broad goals are:
These are the articles that have been edited the most within the last five days. Last updated 4 April 2025 by HotArticlesBot.
We have two main ways of tracking high-activity pages. We track the pages with the most views over the previous month - the popular pages. This listing has 1000 entries, so it isn't included here, but you can follow the link (which is also in the tabs, at the top of most of the WikiProject pages). If anyone knows how to do a partial transclusion of a table, please do so, noting that the bot over-writes the page so it can't be edited with "include only" etc.
The other measure is articles which have had the most edits over the last few days - the hot articles. There are fewer of these entries, so they have been listed here.
Tasks
All tasks can be done by any user, whether or not they're a participant of the WikiProject, and regardless of their level of expertise in psychology (although we do ask that users get help if you want to make changes to a template but you're not sure how to).
Priority tasks are:
Welcome new users that are interested in psychology by putting {{subst:Psychology welcome}} ~~~~ on their talk page.
Like many other WikiProjects, we have an assessment project. Any Talk page with the {{WikiProject Psychology}} template on it gets assessed for quality and for its importance to our project. This section summarises statistics about psychology articles, based on the assessments.
Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. Updates on reimplementing the Graph extension, which will be known as the Chart extension, can be found on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org.

Please add yourself to the end of the first list using ~~~~ if you are interested in participating - anyone can join! Don't forget to mention your areas of interest, or any expertise you have. Consider adding the WP:PSYCH page to your watchlist so that you can see updates there.
