They are: Sub-Saharan Africa; South Asia; Central & Eastern Europe & Central Asia; Latin America & Caribbean; Middle East & North Africa; East, Southeast Asia, & Pacific; Northern & Western Europe; North America.

In order to have their profile available on Capacity Exchange, user groups, initiatives, projects, or chapters must inform the CapX team of all usernames that should have editing rights. This process is done manually by the CapX team to increase security and prevent malicious edits.
Please email the team at capx
wmnobrasil.org with your information.
To be added as admins, the indicated users must have already created their profiles on CapX because edits on the organization profile will be made using their individual logins.
Once logged in, click on My profiles at the end of the menu located at the top right of the page or the button displayed on the top of the page. The authorized users should see two or more profile options. To edit an organization profile, click on [Your organization name].
Dezie, chekwaa, ma hichapụ profaịlụ
Click on Edit organization profile to start editing it. You can also access the profile in question by using its direct link. Only authorized users will see the editing button.
Always click on Save profile to save the changes you made to it, either at the top of the organization profile editing page or at the bottom of it. You can also click on Cancel edit to discard all the changes.
To delete your organization profile, you can contact the CapX team. If you have the rights to edit it, you can clear its data and leave all fields blank. Following the GDPR principles, once you delete the information, all data is erased and cannot be recovered.
To be removed from the role of the organization profile's manager you can also email the team. Once there is no one linked as admin, the profile will no longer be displayed on the CapX list of organizations.
The tool should be user-friendly and intuitive to navigate. So, all you have to do is follow the steps in the tooltip for each section and click on the Save profile button when you're done. Your organization profile will instantly display the updated information.

To save it to the profile, just click on Save profile button at the top or at the bottom of the page. Make sure you choose an image that shows your organization logo to avoid confusion within the Wikimedia Movement. We do not control the selections in the tool, but we may suggest that you change an image in the event of incorrect logo usage. You may encounter an error when saving the profile if the link provided does not follow the indicated format.

Organization Names (Translations)In this section, organizations can add their names in different languages. The name will be displayed based on the user's selected language. If a name is not available in the selected language, it will be displayed in English. The tool’s default language is English, as it is the lingua franca of the Wikimedia movement. Therefore, this option must always be available in profiles. To add a translation of your Organization name, click the Add Translation button. Click Select language to find the code of the desired language in a drop-down menu. Select the code language, then fill in the Organization name field with the translated name in that language.

Before picking the Known, Available and Wanted capacities, we recommend you navigate the Capacity Directory to understand them better and see which reflect your organization work. See How to navigate the Capacity Directory section below, or access the Directory at capx.toolforge.org/capacity. It is worth noting that organizations can only add skills to their profile through the profile editing page. The addition through the suggestions carousel on the Home page and the Capacity Directory on each capacity card are only available for user profiles.
Ọdịiche dị n'etiti ikikeKnown, Available and Wanted capacities are chosen from the same Capacity Directory. They can be broad ones, like Communication, or more specific ones, like press release. Known capacities are those the organization already have. They can be skills, knowledge, or competencies that reflect their work. This selection will show Wikimedians a summary of your organization's expertise. Available capacities are those the organization is willing to share with others, be them institutional entities or individual Wikimedians. They must have been listed on the Known capacities because one should know something in order to share or teach it. The tool will use this selection to display the organization profile to possible matches. Wanted capacities are those the organization would like to have in the future. From this selection, the tool will match the profiles that can help each other. The Capacity Exchange encourages the sharing of capacities on a voluntary basis, but this must be decided through personal contact between the parties. Expectations, timescale, and dedication should be agreed upon parallel to the tool.

The Capacity Directory is the heart of the tool. It contains skills, knowledge, and abilities that are related to the Wikimedia Movement. The capacities are the main function of the tool because user profiles, organization profiles, and events are organized and filtered around them.
To access it, click on the hamburger button in the upper right corner of the screen and select Capacity Directory or go directly to capx.toolforge.org/capacity.
Before editing your user or organization profile, we recommend you look through the Capacity Directory to see which skills you already have and which ones you want to learn.
** You might be shocked at how many wiki-related skills you already have that you didn't even think of, and also how many amazing things Wikimedians are capable of that you never even knew about.**
You can explore skills in four simple ways: view them as themed cards, browse a tree view, navigate by thematic categories, or use the search bar to find what you need quickly.
Click the field and start typing to filter skills, or use the three tabs below the search bar to switch between browsing modes.
The tool should be user-friendly and intuitive to navigate. If you want more information on the skills available or on how to navigate the Capacity Directory, click on the link below.

The Capacity Directory features a structure of skills organized in three ways. The first tab shows skills organized as themed cards. Each main skill is represented by a card with subcategories inside. There are currently seven main skills, each with a distinct color and a set of more specific capabilities within them. The second tab displays skills in a tree view. It follows the same hierarchy as the cards view, but highlights how skills are connected, making their relationships easier to understand at a glance. The third tab shows categories commonly used in volunteer work across three thematic areas: Linguistic Equity, Knowledge Gaps, and Open Education. It allows you to quickly select categories relevant to your work as a Wikimedian in a more direct and focused way.

All three views include a link at the bottom of the page: Can’t find a capacity? Suggest a new one!. This lets you propose a new CapX capacity, which will be reviewed by the committee before being added to the database. Click the link to open the Suggest a new capacity window, where you can enter the skill title and description. Providing clear context on why it should be added improves the chances of approval. Click Submit to send your suggestion or Cancel to discard it.

It's possible to find the seven main skills by scrolling down the page. Each of them has its own color and consists of an icon representing the main skill, its name, an information icon ( By clicking on the capacity name, the tool will redirect you to the Explore page with the filter activated to display only the profiles that contain that skills in question. If you click on the information icon ( If the capacity information is not available in your selected language, you will also see a "call to action" box (see the Translation section of this guide for more information on this box). Click on the Metabase QID link or on the Wikidata QID link to be redirected to its respective Wikidata page. Currently, capacities descriptions are pulled first from MetaBase and, when they do not exist there, from the Wikidata's database. The decision to prioritize descriptions from MetaBase is due to the fact that they tend to be closely associated with the Wikimedia universe and, as a result, more accurately describe the capacities related to it. By clicking on the arrow icon ( Tree viewIn the tree view, skills follow the same hierarchy: a general capacity contains more specific ones, and so on. The difference is that they are organized as a graph. In the initial view, you can see the seven main categories linked to the CapX logo, each with its corresponding color. Click on each one to view the skills it contains. In addition to expanding the related skills, clicking a node in the graph opens the corresponding skill card. As in the themed cards view, each card shows the skill title, its Metabase and Wikidata QIDs, a description, and a translation action if it is not available in the display language. You can also add skills directly to your user profile from using Add to Known or Add to Wanted buttons. Click the node again to collapse it, or use the Return to initial view button at the bottom of the page. Thematic categoriesThe third view is organized by thematic categories. Initially, three categories were defined based on Wikimedia volunteer activities: Linguistic Equity, Knowledge Gaps, and Open Education. Each category has a specific color and shows ten selected skills from the CapX Capacity Directory. These represent the most commonly associated skills for each thematic area. The selection was developed with CapX partners and is not exhaustive. It is intended to support and simplify initial profile setup based on a volunteer’s area of work. Use the side arrows to navigate the list and click on a skill name to open its card. As in the other views, each card includes the skill title, its Metabase and Wikidata QIDs, a description, and a translation action if it is not available in the display language. You can also add skills directly to your profile using Add to Known or Add to Wanted. |

To delete a territory, affiliation or language from your list, click on the delete icon ( It is worth noting that, if you choose to filter profiles by region, the tool will show you all the profiles that have this specific region and those that have countries contained by the region, according to 2022 Wikimedia Foundation divisions. If you select to filter by a specific country, the tool will show you only the profiles that indicated it on their territories. For example, if you choose to filter profiles in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, the tool will show you all the profiles that have LAC on their territories, and also all those that have any country contained by the region. So, if a profile has Brazil or Argentina on its territories, it will be displayed in this case – because both countries are in LAC region. But if you choose to filter profiles in Brazil, only those that have this specific country on their territories will be shown. To display the profiles filtered according to your selection, click on Show results. If you want to clear your choices, click on Clear all.

Bug Reports is a page linked to the user profile where users can report issues and suggest new features or improvements to the CapX development team.
Note that since July 2025, CapX has been in volunteer maintenance mode. As a result, bug fixes and updates may take longer to be addressed.
To access it, click on the hamburger button in the upper right corner of the screen and select Bug Reports, or go directly to capx.toolforge.org/report_bug.
It provides a simple form composed of a title, a description, and the type of issue to be reported.
In the first field, write a title for your report. Then, provide a brief and objective description of the issue you are reporting. Keep in mind that the CapX team will only have this text to understand what you are reporting and what needs to be done in the tool. To select the type of report you are creating, click on the field to open a drop-down menu. It is possible to choose from "Error", "New feature", "Improvement", or "Test case" by clicking on the chosen option.
To send it, click on the Submit bug report button. If you want to discard the report, click on the Cancel report button.
After submitting your report, it is possible to follow up on its status on the tab “Submissions”, by clicking on it at the top of the page.
Reports are visible only to their creators and the CapX development team. They are displayed in boxes showing their title and status and a View button. By clicking on the button, you can access the report's Description, its type, and the dates of submission and update. Click on the Hide button to hide its details.
It is not possible to withdraw a submitted report; only the development team can make changes to reports after they have been submitted by the user.
How to send messages
The Capacity Exchange tool offers a channel for exchange between peers: the messaging service. Messages are sent through Meta-Wiki and, therefore, provide the same privacy and options.
To access the feature, click on the hamburger button in the upper right corner of the screen and select Messages, or go directly to capx.toolforge.org/message.
You can also access the page by clicking on the Let's Talk button located at the bottom of each user profile page.
The tool should be user-friendly and intuitive to navigate. If you want more information about how to use the Messages feature click on the link below.

On the first tab, there is a contact form with the same options offered by the MediaWiki Special:EmailUser service - a special page on which a user can email another user and that is used to send CapX's messages. The first field on the form is From, which will be automatically filled with the username you used to loggin to CapX. This field cannot be altered. The second field is To. If you have accessed the Messages page via the Let's Talk button, this item will show the username in question. If you have accessed the page directly, you should fill in this field with the username of who you want to message. In this case, be careful not to make any typing mistakes. The tool automatically checks whether a profile is available. If the user exists in CapX, an Available label appears in green next to their name. If not, a red User not found label is shown - in this case, check for typos. It also indicates when the only contact option is the talk page (for users without an email address) with a orange email unavailable label. Next, there is the Contact Method field where you can choose between Email and Talkpage from the drop-down menu that opens when you click the arrow icon ( After selecting the contact method, you can write a Subject and the Message. In the first field, write a title for your message. Then, provide a brief and objective text to start the conversation with your peer. You can start with a greeting and a brief introduction before getting to the topic. Click on the Send message button to send it or on Clear message to delete it. Before the message is sent, a pop-up window will appear to confirm your decision of sending the message. This action cannot be undone. On the pop-up window, you will see information about how the message will be send. After reading it, click on the Cancel button to go back to the edition page, or on Confirm/Send to confirm your choice and send the message to the intended user. After sending the message, you will see another pop-up window congratulating you and explaining that you can see it on the Sent tab. Click on Close tab or Continue to close the window and go back to the Messages feature. Sent messagesIn the case of a message sent by email, you will receive a copy of it on your email by default. If you published the message on the user talkpage, it will be publicly available for you to see it whenever you want. In both cases, the user who receives the message can decide where to reply to it. If (and only if) the user replies to it by email, then their address will be disclosed to the sender, as is the case in the Meta-Wiki. If the user decides to keep the conversation on Wiki, their privacy will be maintained. The user can also choose to ignore the message and have the possibility of blocking another user, as it happens on Wikimedia – for more information, access MediaWiki Special:EmailUser. All message logs are displayed in the Sent tab, within the Messages feature. It means that the tool doesn't store any information shared between the users, either in the message's subject or content. Messages saved are only available to the user in question, and are displayed in boxes showing to whom they were sent and their status (sent or error). When clicking on the View button, the user can see the contact method that was used and the date the message was sent. This information can be hidden when clicking on the Hide button. You can click on the Send a new message button at the bottom of the page to go back to the Write tab. How to email through CapX?It is only possible to email a CapX user if both users, the sender (From) and the recipient (To), have email addresses linked to their Wikimedia account. The tool automatically checks whether a profile is available and whether it has an email linked to it. If the user exists and has a connected email, an Available label appears in green next to their name. If no email is available, an Email unavailable label appears in orange. This means that if the user you want to email does not have an email address registered to their Wikimedia account, you will not be able to contact them in this way. This also means that you must have an email address registered to your Wikimedia account as well. See MediaWiki Help:Preferences for more information on how to do this. Messages privacyAs previously stated, we do not store the content of the Messages: neither the title nor the text. We also do not have access to the emails of users involved in the exchange. Emails are accessed through the Wikimedia messaging service and are, therefore, not stored in the CapX database. |

How to join a Mentorship program
The Mentorship Programs page can be accessed through the hamburger menu in the top-right corner of the screen or via the page’s direct link: capx.toolforge.org/mentorship.
The pilot version of this feature is being developed in partnership with the Language Diversity Hub, the EduWiki Hub, the African Wiki Women initiative, and the Wikimedia Brazil chapter. To have your mentorship program included in CapX, please contact capxwmnobrasil.org to check the possibility.
Each of the four programs is shown as a card with the initiative’s logo, key details, and a Subscribe button. At the top, you’ll see the program’s location, followed by the Registration period, which sets its status as open, upcoming, or closed. Each card shows a short description, the format (in-person, online, or hybrid), key Capacities, available Languages, and the number of subscribers.
Click the Subscribe button, then select your role as Mentor or Mentee. To close the window, click Close tab.
Each program has its own application form with questions tailored to its needs. Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required to submit your application. The form language is set by the organizing initiative and unfortunately cannot be translated by CapX translation tools.
When you finish, click Subscribe to submit your application, or Close to close the window and discard your changes. The information you provide is stored in the CapX database in encrypted form and can only be accessed using a public key held by the partner. The mentorship program coordinator will then contact you using the details provided in the form.
How to navigate the Organization List
The list of organizations, along with the events page and the policy page, makes up the set of CapX information available to non-logged-in users. However, to access the organization profile, you need to be logged in.
To access this feature, click on Organization list button at the top of the logged-out homepage, or in the menu on the right side of the tool after logging in. It is also possible to access it directly via the link: capx.toolforge.org/organization_list.

Access the item How to edit the organization profile in this user guide for more information on how to request and edit your organization’s profile.
Currently, users can browse and filter organization profiles by capacities, by their status as learner, sharer or proficient and by their informed territories.
Organization profiles are displayed in cards that may contain the following items, depending of their availability on the profile in question:
- an image of the organization logo;
- an indication of the nature of the wanted exchange (sharer; learner; known);
- the organization name (in English or your preferred language);
- the capacities;
- the territory indicated on the profile;
- an icon that redirects to the profile in question;
You can navigate the page by typing letters in the search field to filter the profiles by their names or by scrolling down to see all profiles existent in CapX.

How to navigate Data in CapX
You can explore CapX data on the homepage or in the Data Analytics page. To access it, go to the hamburger menu in the top-right corner, select View statistics button on the homepage, or use the direct link: capx.toolforge.org/data_analytics_dashboard.
The Data analytics page displays real-time data from the tool’s database. At the top, you can see the Total number of users, how many New users have joined in the last 30 days, and the total number of messages exchanged since the feature’s creation.
Below this data, you will find a map visualization: the interactive map Wikimedians through the globe, colored according to data density. It is possible to explore the CapX database by filtering the number of Wikimedians, Languages, and Capacities across each of the eight Wikimedia territories.
If you want more information about how to navigate the Wikimedians through the globe click on the link below.
| Details on Density Map design |
|---|
|
It’s important to note that the data reflects CapX’s database. For the map to accurately represent Wikimedians across all territories, community participation is essential. Encouraging users to complete their profiles helps improve coverage and accuracy. And, with more complete data, the map becomes a valuable tool for strategic planning and for understanding capacity-building needs across the movement. The map Wikimedians through the globe is based on an updated SVG from Wikimedia Commons, designed to better reflect territorial proportions according to community consensus. It also includes an option to flip the map orientation (north or south up), reflecting decolonial perspectives and inspired by Joaquín Torres García’s 1943 work América Invertida. The default tab is Wikimedians, which shows Wikimedian Density by Territory. Clicking on the map opens a card with details for the selected region, and you can also access these cards by clicking the region name below the map. The card shows the number of countries in the territory and how many CapX Wikimedians have declared they are located there. It also includes the five Most Spoken Languages, with the number in parentheses indicating how many users speak each language in that region, followed by the five Top Capacities', including data on known and wanted skills. The density legend shows the region with the highest number of declared users. Click the Languages tab above the map to open the Languages by Territory view. Use Select a language to open the dropdown menu and choose a language. The map will then show the distribution of speakers across regions. Click a region to open its card with detailed language information. The density legend shows the region with the highest number of declared speakers. Click the Capacities tab above the map to open the Capacities by Territory view. Use Select a capacity to open the dropdown menu and choose a skill. When you select a skill, the map will display color density based on the location of users who have that skill in each region. On the right side of the selection, you can choose the view Type (All capacities, Known, Available or Wanted) to see specific information. Click a region to open its card with detailed skill information. Note that when you switch between the map tabs, the page data is also filtered to show only the information related to languages or capacities. To view all data again, return to the first tab on the map, Wikimedians. |
Below the map, you can access data on Languages, Territory, and Capacities as declared by CapX users. Click the arrow icon (
) next to the topic name to expand and view the related information.
In Languages, you’ll see a list of the most spoken languages and the number of Wikimedians who have declared them. To view more languages, click the Load more results + button.
In Territory, you’ll see a list of territories ranked by Wikimedian concentration. Next to each of the eight territories, you can see how many users have declared being located there.
In Capacities, you can see the number of users who have marked skills as either Available or Wanted, grouped into the seven main categories. Learners are users who have marked skills in that category as Wanted, while Sharers are users who have marked skills as Available.
You can also have access to the full database by establishing a partnership with CapX. For more information, please contact capxwmnobrasil.org.
How to translate the tool
Being integrated with TranslateWiki, Metabase and Wikidata the tool can be easily translated into any language.
It is worth noting that translations may take a few days to be available in the tool, especially on the software interface, so take that into consideration if you’re planning a community event, for example.
Another important information is that data pulled from Wikimedia Projects must be translated from the source - Metabase and Wikidata. The TranslateWiki platform allows the translation of the software, but not contents pulled from Wikimedia Projects such as the organization profile's Documents and Main Projects, or the name of the languages displayed on the CapX's profiles. You can translate the names and descriptions in the Capacity Directory using the Translate! page, available in the top-right hamburger menu. More details on how to translate skills and their descriptions are provided below.
You are also invited to translate Capacity Exchange Meta-wiki {{CapacityExchange}} user template by clicking on the call for action Help translate this section at the top of the box on a user profile.
Every wikimedian is welcomed to translate the tool, either on its software level (through TranslateWiki), and on the data pulled from Wikimedia Projects (translating its Metabase, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons items). This means that, to make Capacity Exchange available in multiple languages, wikimedians are also contributing to the translation of other instances of the Movement.

Click on it to pull all of your information from your profile on Let's Connect on Meta-Wiki, and insert it automatically on the Capacity Exchange profile. Click on Confirm, and the tool will pull the information already available on Meta-Wiki and display it on your editing page. This is a good way to help you fill in your information, especially the capacities known, available, and wanted. It is also helpful to fill the languages you speak, your affiliations and territory. Note that you will need to add other information into your CapX user profile. Make sure you review everything before you click on Save profile – especially because the capacities on CapX may be a bit different from the original Let’s Connect Skills Directory. After you're satisfied with all the editing, click on Save Profile. If you want to change any of your Let’s Connect registration personal information (such as Name, email, or age, for example), please follow the steps described in the following item. Since Capacity Exchange doesn’t store sensitive data, this information is stored on a private database on Toolforge that only the Let's Connect team have access to. In this private database will be stored all the personal and sensitive information about the Let's Connect participants, which is collected through the special form. Before you do it, make sure you saved the alterations you made to your profile through the integration button. It is worth noting that, when you go back to editing your profile, after clicking on the Let’s Connect integration button and Save profile, you will not see this button again. If you need more help to edit the other parts of your Capacity Exchange profile, or want more information on the available features, go to the other topics of this User Guide.
