I have been thinking about starting an open content animal encyclopedia. I would like to know if someone has any thoughts on what would be the best way to integrate this with wikipedia.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of many different integrated encyclopedias. One of those is an animal encyclopedia:

Thank you for the answers. Although I find the layout of these WikiProjects a bit confusing, I think for now I'll just start adding some articles then.

We have a bunch of articles on animals already--especially birds--and that information would be available either to include, or as a starting point if you wanted to write longer or differently-styled articles.
Is there any way to add new fields to the MySQL database schema used by Wikipedia? This way one would be able to perform a much more sophisticated search.
For instance, if I would like to find all artists born before 1955 or all butterflies of the UK, there currently is no way to do this, or is there?
