WikiProject Data Visualization is a WikiProject about datagraphics on Wikipedia.
Goals
Welcome to the WikiProject Data Visualization. The goals of the project are to create, embed, improve and update relevant datagraphics across Wikipedia.
Activities
- Updating datagraphics used in articles (see e.g. c:Category:Charts showing data through 2010)
- Creating requested datagraphics and new datagraphics using existing data sources
- Adding relevant datagraphics to articles if they are useful (see e.g. Category:Health by country and c:Category:Our World in Data)
- Helping each other in creating datagraphics
- Making sure only datagraphics with solid data sourcing are being used (see e.g. c:Help:Misinformation)
- Adding or improving captions of datagraphics and polishing how they look like

Resources
- Wikipedia:Graphs and charts
- Many studies contain datagraphics, see c:Commons:Files from studies for information on how to find and upload them
- Wikimedia Commons already has many datagraphics – see c:Category:Data graphics
- PubMed allows exporting results as csv with the "Download CSV" button in the top right for number of studies per year for the query.
- Free tools to create datagraphics with (e.g. from csv files) include kst, Gnuplot, LabPlot, (add more here)
Request datagraphics
