{{CurrentGCOTW}}

The English Gaming Collaboration of the week (later month) process began on October 4, 2004, wherein the articles in question were voted on by editors in order to be selected. The final collaboration was on June 4, 2007; on January 19, 2009 the Collaboration of the Week was restarted, with the articles selected randomly by a bot from the set of high/top priority articles that were C-class or lower. On July 27, 2011, the collaboration was changed to run monthly. The winners for each week/month are listed below, along with a brief summary of how the article was improved during its featured time.
