It's not a mistake. Some wikis call them Projects, some call them usergroups, others them "clans" or "gangs" or other terminology relevant to their subject matter - which can make them harder to find if you're an outsider.

My post clearly defined what I was talking about: "You know, pages for organised groups of users to focus on improving a certain aspect of a wiki.", and links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject as an example.

Regarding whether or not it's appropriate terminology, there are multiple wikia wikis who refer to Projects as Usergroups:
 * http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Usergroups
 * http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield_Wiki:Usergroups
 * http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_Wiki:War_Room/Inactive_usergroups
 * http://falloutfanfic.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Fanfiction_Wiki:Usergroups
 * http://area51.wikia.com/wiki/BlackSite_Wiki:Usergroups
 * http://rucka.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Usergroups
 * http://xiaolinpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Xiaolinpedia:User_groups
 * http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Gearspedia:Usergroup_Policy
 * halo.wikia formerly had usergroups, but have removed them.

Furthermore, the term "User Group" has existed offline for decades to refer to groups of people who meet with a common interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_group

If there is any mistake, it's calling them "Projects", because the term "Project" on wikia refers to each wiki.

For example,
 * Project:Policies
 * Results in Project:Policies
 * Links to Community_Central:Policies

Back on topic.

I'd still any other examples of wikis who have had success with groups of users working on projects
