What we do

Improve coverage of people, places, events, organisations across Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland Region).
Maintain assessments and backlogs; run focused drives (elections, heritage, transport, etc.).

Scope: Defining Auckland content

This project covers topics primarily about the Auckland Region / Auckland Council area (Tāmaki Makaurau).

Tier 1 (always in scope)

Places within the Auckland Council area (suburbs, islands, parks, waterways, roads, schools, marae, heritage places).
Statues, monuments, memorials, markers and sculptures within the Auckland Region
Auckland governance and agencies (Mayor, Governing Body, local boards, council-controlled organisations).
Events occurring in Auckland (elections, civic events, disasters, major local festivals).
Organisations headquartered/primarily operating in Auckland; Auckland sports teams/clubs/venues; universities and institutions.
Natural environment specific to the region (e.g., Auckland Volcanic Field; Hauraki Gulf islands under Auckland Council).
Items with Wikidata property P131 as Auckland Council/Auckland Region or any local board/ward.

Tier 2 (usually in scope; use judgement)

People closely associated with Auckland (born/raised, long-term resident, educated mainly here, or held Auckland offices).
National/multi-regional organisations with head office in Auckland, or flagship asset in Auckland.
Works set in or primarily depicting Auckland; major projects built in Auckland.

Exclusions

Other “Auckland” places outside NZ (California, Durham, South Africa).
The Subantarctic Auckland Islands (unless the Auckland-region connection is central).
Neighbouring regions unless the article focuses on the Auckland side of a cross-boundary feature.
