Grants:PEG/Submit report/Interim

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page documents a process of the WMF Project and Event Grants program. Return to the Grants:PEG page at any time for more information!

Please do not edit this page. If you have a suggestion, please leave it on the discussion page.


Please be sure to review the reporting requirements for the Project and Event Grants Program thoroughly before submitting a report. An interim report is only required if specified by Project and Event Grants program Staff or specified in the Grant Agreement. Interim reports are always an option if you would like to provide a public update on your project. Optional interim reports are welcomed and encouraged!


How it works[edit]

Each grant request name has two parts: the first part of the name identifies the grantee, while the second part of the name identifies the project. Each final report is a subpage of its grant request entitled Report. Your interim report will be a subpage of this subpage. Therefore, your report must be named in exactly the same way your grant request is named. To avoid any errors, please copy the grantee name and the title of your grant request from your original grant submission when using the page creation tool here. Do not include the namespace Grants in the page creation box below, as your report will automatically be added to the Grants namespace. When you use the page creation tool below, your request will be named correctly. The reporting form for interim reports will be loaded when you visit the new page. Complete the form and then save your work. The link to your interim report will look like: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:NAME/PROJECT/Report/REPORTNAME. Note that titles of pages on a Wiki are case sensitive.

At any time, please Email grants at wikimedia dot org with questions about how to submit a reportl. If you need to move an existing page, you may also contact grantsadmin at wikimedia dot org for assistance.


Create your interim report here by entering your name, your project's name, and the name of your interim report and selecting "Create interim report."

Please remember: after completing the form provided, click "save" and follow the instructions provided.



Sample usage[edit]

Wikimedia Example is a recognized affiliate organization with abbreviation WM EX, and would like to submit an interim report for its first quarter (Q1) for project entitled "Example project". Wikimedia Example has already used the page creation tool for grant submissions to create a submission entitled Grants:WM EX/Example project, which may be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/Grants:PEG/WM_EX/Example_project. Wikimedia Example has copied and pasted the titel of its project from its original grant submission at http://meta.wikimedia.org/Grants:PEG/WM_EX/Example_project, and has named its interim report "Q1".

When Wikimedia Example clicks "Submit report", a page entitled Grants:PEG/WM EX/Example project/Report/Q1 will automatically load with the Interim report form, and will be created when Wikimedia Example clicks "Save page." Its new interim report will be located at http://meta.wikimedia.org/Grants:PEG/WM_EX/Example_project/Report/Q1.

Next steps[edit]

  • After your report is submitted, please add your newly created report and its discussion page to your Watchlist, so that you may promptly respond to comments and questions from WMF and the GAC.
  • After you email grants@wikimedia.org, you will receive a response within 7 days acknowledging your submission.
  • Please take a moment to read the reporting requirements and learn about next steps. It is critical that each grantee engage actively in WMF's public review process for reports.
