Celebrate Women/Technical contributions survey
.jpg)
Welcome! As part of the Celebrate Women campaign in March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation's Content Enablement team wants to support women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman in some way) to advance as technical contributors on Wikimedia.
To achieve that, we are launching this survey to help us understand technical contributions by women+ on the Wikimedia projects. Please note that the target audience for this survey is Wikimedia contributors who identify in any way as women.
This survey should take between 15 and 20 minutes to complete, and it will remain open until 26 July 2026. For questions, contact gfontenelle
wikimedia.org or leave a message on the talk page.
