- Wikimedian of the Year 2022: For me, this is the most important activity in Wikimania because I get to learn what other Wikimedians did or are doing for them to be recognized and awarded. I get to know what they are doing in the Wikimedia Movement and follow their footsteps. I also learn about unique ways and contributions they are into.
- Batch uploading to Wikimedia Commons with OpenRefine: in this session I got to learn how to upload images to WikiCommons with OpenRefine without uploading it one by one but uploading them in batches. I also learnt how and where to find more documentation about using OpenRefine on Wikimedia Commons.
- 10 years of Wikidata - how it all started and where it’s going: in this session I got to see for the first time the brains behind WikiData . I also learnt more about the history of WikiData as I am an active contributor.
- How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?
I went to the OFWA's office where they organized an in-person for Wikimedians in and around Accra. We learnt a lot about the Wikimedia Movement and played games such as pick and act using information used in the movement such as IP block, edit source etc. I made new friends over there and we had loads of fun.
