__NOTOC__
This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] is aimed at improving editing practice on articles devoted to '''[[list of numbers|numbers]]'''. General guideline advise is given throughout to assist in creating and improving these articles.

{{Hot articles|Numbers}}

== Objectives ==
=== General goals ===

* Maintain the existing library of number articles ([[WP:WikiProject Numbers/Assessment]]), and
* Create as well as remove articles, depending on merits of inclusion.

==== Current priorities ====
* Tidy and improve existing integer number articles, information which can be added and removed, as well as reorganized and converted into prose.
* Methodically assign "importance" to integer number articles (top, high, mid, and low), following a systematic approach, still to be discussed.
* Add information and expand several sections in [[Draft:Outline of numbers]].

Discussions regarding the involvement of the Project on mathematics topics not specific to integers such as [[Constant (mathematics)|constants]], [[irrational number]]s and [[algebraic number]]s have yet to be initiated, including involvement on [[Number#Main classification|main topics about numbers]], and their [[Number#Extensions|extensions]].

== Structure ==
Articles after [[10]] are named, for the most part, {{math|''N (number)''}}.

Navigation bars inside [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers/Guidelines#Infobox|Number Infoboxes]] for number articles on integers have been added, with the following functionality:
*Increments of 1 for all integer number articles between [[−1]] and [[316 (number)]].
*Increments of 10 from [[0]] through [[300 (number)]], to be made continuous with the span of consecutive articles.
*Increments of 100 from [[0]] through [[1000 (number)]], starting at [[100]].
*Increments of 1000 between [[1000 (number)]] through [[9000 (number)]], and of 10,000 between [[10,000]] and [[90,000]].
*Increments by factors of 10''x'' between 1 and [[10,000,000,000,000]] (i.e. 1, 10, 100, ..., 10,000,000,000,000, with links starting at [[100,000]]).

Currently, there are continuous individual number articles for [[integer]]s from [[−1]] to [[316 (number)]].
*[[300 (number)]] is the first article to specifically detail information for one hundred integers in one page.
*From 300 (number) to [[1000 (number)]], articles contain information for individual integers in ranges of hundreds.
*From [[1000 (number)]] to [[10,000]], information is grouped in ranges of thousands.
*From [[10,000]] to [[100,000]], articles cover information on integers in ranges of ten thousands.
*From [[100,000]] through [[10,000,000,000,000]], articles are grouped in ranges of increments of powers of ten, 10''x'' (up to [[10,000,000,000,000]]).

There are also select article entries linked to individual articles within these ranges. Some articles are devoted to integers in ranges greater than 1012.

Regarding the status of disambiguation pages,
*[[11]] is a disambiguation page linking to [[11 (number)]], other articles. Similarly for [[12]] through [[99]], inclusive.
*[[100 (disambiguation)]] links to [[100]] (number page), and other articles.
*[[101]] is a disambiguation page linking to [[101 (number)]], and other articles, as with [[102]] to [[150]], inclusive.

The next disambiguation number page is [[163 (disambiguation)]], linking to [[163 (number)]] and other articles.
