Parent WikiProjects

WikiProject Louisville shares coverage with and sometimes supersedes coverage for the following projects:

• Formatting/Structure (city articles only): Cities
• State-level: Kentucky and Indiana
  • Oftentimes, WikiProject Louisville will supersede coverage by WikiProject Kentucky. The usual exceptions are subjects that are connected only to metropolitan counties outside Jefferson, or local subjects connected to a statewide purpose, such as state representatives/senators from Louisville Metro.
• Country-level (project infrastructure): United States

Sibling WikiProjects

• Chicago (both Louisville and Chicago's metro areas include portions of Indiana)
• Cincinnati (both Louisville and Cincinnati's metro areas include portions of Kentucky)
• Indianapolis (department of WP Indiana; major city in Indiana)
