The task force concerns itself with all articles related to the philosophical tradition of modern and contemporary anarchism, and seeks to be as broad in its coverage as it is in its depth. It concerns itself with various branches and concepts in anarchist theory; anarchist publications, art, and literature; anarchist influence on culture, sub-culture, and counterculture; the global history of anarchism throughout different eras and regions; and biographical articles about notable anarchist activists and philosophers.

The task force also works to maintain and improve the Anarchism Portal, with the mission of increasing accessibility to high quality anarchism-related content. The Portal is intended as a front page for Wikipedia's anarchism coverage, and should aid the reader in navigating the articles. It should also draw attention to current events and some of Wikipedia's best anarchism articles.

The task force supports the Portal primarily by ensuring that it has a ready supply of high-quality content to showcase.
