Welcome to the Crusades task force, a joint venture of the Middle Ages and Military history WikiProjects. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. ScopeThis task force covers all aspects of the Crusades in Europe and the Middle East. It covers the Crusader states in the Middle East, crusades against heretics and pagans in Europe, the Reconquista in Iberia, and crusades against the Ottomans in the Later Middle Ages, as well as Muslim, Eastern Christian, Jewish, and pagan societies affected by the crusades. The task force goes beyond purely military matters, to social, administrative, legal, art, religious, and literary history, and modern historiography of the period. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding the following to the project banners at the top of its talk page
This will automatically place it into Category:Crusades task force articles. |

Article statistics
The table to the right shows the current article assessment statistics for this task force.
A list of the top 500 most popular articles within our scope, as well as the number of page views each article received over the past month, can be found here. With most of our articles assessed as Stub- or Start-Class, there's a lot of work to be done. However, we also have a number of good, A-Class, and featured articles, which have been assessed as amongst the best Wikipedia has to offer.
