A WikiProject is a place for editors of articles of a particular subject area to work together. There they coordinate their efforts, create guidelines for the subject's articles, and much more. A WikiProject's pages are not used for writing encyclopedia articles directly, but as resources to help coordinate and organize the group's efforts at creating and improving articles.
The discussion (talk) pages attached to a project page are a convenient forum for those participating in that project to talk about what they are doing, to ask questions, and to receive advice from other people interested in the group's work.
Getting real-time help via IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
The Libera Chat network—libera.chat—has chat rooms dedicated to Wikipedia 24hours a day, in which Wikipedians can engage in real-time discussions with each other. Many Wikipedians have IRC chatting open in one window and hop back and forth between it and other windows in which they are working on Wikipedia.
You can set your computer to make a sound or your browser tab to flash when you have IRC open while somebody is replying to you. Users with a "+" sign next to their nickname are volunteer IRC helpers.
