Like in previous years, we have planned for a wide variety of programs based on the interests and strengths of the active members of the user group, who have proposed these plans and committed to them. While some of the programs are continuation and extensions of our previous programs, including last year's plans, a few are planned to start from this year and are likely to continue for the next few years.
Wiki Docus
We started this program last year (2024-25) to video-document the cultural heritage and oral history of West Bengal. The goal of this program is to produce at least three documentary movies per year. We choose the subjects from a list prepared by our research team. The pre-production includes researching the topic, creating the script and chalking out the shooting schedule. We reach out to experts on the subject for guidance. The films are shot by the volunteers. Lastly, for post-production, we hire video editors to complete the film. The films are in Bengali, with English subtitles.
We are also creating one e-book per documentary. It would contain photographs and literature on the subject. We would be printing a few copies of the book to showcase our activities during various outreach programs. We will upload all the video footage, photographs and e-books, including the completed documentaries to Wikimedia Commons and create or edit relevant Wikidata items.
For information, in the previous annual plan, we successfully documented Leto Gan, a dying folk drama of Birbhum district, Dasai Parab, a festival of the Santal people, and an urban culture of handmade hot-air paper balloons called Fanus, all of which are underrepresented on Wikimedia sites. The equipment we bought in the previous annual plan helped us to produce good-quality video and audio footage for our documentaries. The uploads will be concluded before the reporting time.
-
Fanus - Shooting Still -
Leto Gan - Shooting Still -
Dasai Parab - Shooting
-
Dasai Parab - Shooting Still
Our plan for the coming year will be to create at least four documentaries. We have successfully created contacts with local researchers and experts and are working on the list on which we will be working.
The probable list of the topics which is to be covered are folk music and dance like Bhanjo gaan, Hapu gaan, Chhad patano gaan, Raibenshe, folk puppetry like Chadar Badar and folk villages of Sundarbans.
Wiki Documents Bengal Terracotta
We started this program last year (2024-25) to document the terracotta panels of the temples and mosques of Bengal in detail. The terracotta temples and mosques of West Bengal are full of beautiful panels. Due to a lack of maintenance and improper conservation, many are getting damaged. In temples, a group of panels together depict various mythological, religious or historically relevant stories. Hence, it is important to document them systematically and serially. Also, as some panels have minute details, the experts need high-quality images to understand and write the text. This project aims to solve these by documenting the terracotta panels systematically and in detail. The history professors in our team will be working on the meaning of the panels and the image description will be written by them. We are also creating an eBook with images of the temples and the panels with a brief history and the stories depicted in the panels. A few copies of the book will be printed to showcase our activities during various outreach programs. This year, we have successfully documented quite a few temples with rich terracotta work, the images of which will be uploaded before the reporting time. We plan to continue this project to document more terracotta structures.
Wiki Museums
We started this program last year (2024-25) to document museums diligently. Apart from a couple of others, our main documentation this year was on the Museum of Santal Culture located in the village of Bishnubati in Birbhum district of West Bengal. Apart from the images, we are working with them to create Wikidata items for each artifact and create video/audio descriptions for them. This year we plan to continue this program with a few new museums.
Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 In India
Like the past few years, the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group plans to organize the Wiki Loves Monuments in India in 2026. This year, instead of organizing offline workshops, we are planning to upload videos online. This way we will be able to use them every year. We are also planning to create a reduced list of monuments this year focusing on monuments which do not have any images on Wikimedia Commons. This will help stop the huge flow of images of the same few widely known monuments taken from the same angle as some previously won images. This year we are expecting a smaller number of photographs but which will bring more value to the competition, thus aiming for quality images over quantity of images.

WiKomix
Our aim in this project is to reach comic book lovers and motivate them to volunteer on various Wikimedia projects. We started this program last year (2024-25) and are in the final stage of creating the first book. Like this year, the coming year's book will have comics on the activities of Wikimedia, some volunteers of our User Group showcasing their work and why they do it, and the projects of the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group.
We are planning to make a 24-page book this year. The free comic book will be published digitally in Bengali and English. We will work with professional comic artists and scriptwriters on this project. We will print a few copies for showcasing at various events.
Wiki Loves Your City - Kolkata
The Wiki Loves Your City - Kolkata program plans to document the ever-changing character of Kolkata. The project will work on several lists.
- The first is the list of heritage buildings published by the local Municipal Government.
- The second will include buildings of local celebrities not included in the heritage list.
- The third will have important institutes, organizations and businesses.
- The fourth list will cover cemeteries and memorials.
We also plan to document any house or a part of it with architecture representing a specific era. E.g., railings, designs, doors, balconies, windows etc.. A lot of these are being demolished in favour of modern houses. As they don’t have heritage tags, most are not documented, and a part of history is lost.
Most of the User Group members working in Wikimedia Commons are from Kolkata. As a result, it would be possible to document the above easily. All images uploaded as part of this project will include the full address of the building/memorial for future reference.
Digitization at the Rammohun Library and Free Reading Room & the Federation Hall Society library
.jpg)
Last year, we have started a digitization project with the Rammohun Library and Free Reading Room, a century old library in Kolkata. A Wikimedian-in-residence has been assigned to digitize the rare books in the library, post process them and upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Background support is provided to check duplicate copies of those materials over internet, add metadata of those books on Wikidata and link them back to Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource. We are continuing the project next year too.
We have also started digitisation at the century old library run by the Federation Hall Society, Kolkata and will be continuing it next year.
Projects dashboard web application for User Group projects
Several of the User Group projects are based on Wikimedia Commons and lack a proper dashboard to access all details systematically and view project-related statistics. This web application will be a one-stop place to access various User Group projects and their related files/pages, activities and see the related stats.
Logistics and Infrastructure support for volunteers and project leads
For Wiki Docus a 5 TB Cloud Storage from Google would be bought for a year to store video and audio files during post-production, and the storage would be used by other volunteers of the user group for any similar requirements. Adobe Lightroom Subscription for a year will be bought for a volunteer contributing high-quality images to support raw conversion, image processing and quality image submission.
We will also support active community volunteers with internet upon request, as before.

User Group projects dashboard
Project Goal & Impact
Create a frontend for the Wikimedia Commons projects of the User Group. The base application will show the navigable project categories with breadcrumbs and some details for each category. The details will be fetched from the Wikidata items linked to each category. It will also show the number of images, quality images, featured pictures, location on the map (where applicable), etc., for each category/group of categories. This will drill down to the details pages for each item (a terracotta panel, a temple, or a heritage structure, depending on the project), where the image/image gallery will be displayed, along with all details fetched from Wikidata. There will be a basic admin interface (the maintainer will grant permission to volunteers working on the project) from where a few adjustments (which details to show) can be made to customise the interface for each project. This dashboard will help non-Wikimedians, such as organisations and researchers, easily access our data and collaborate with us on projects. Other Wikimedia communities can also use it for their Wikimedia Commons projects.
Product Strategy
Phase 1 - Develop admin interface.
Phase 2: A mockup of the frontend design and user experience will be created.
Phase 3: Develop the frontend and integrate the data.
Phase 4: Community testing and making required changes.
Technical Approach
Backend - PHP with CodeIgniter, SPARQL, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons API.
Frontend - Bootstrap
Infrastructure - Hosted on Toolforge
Dependencies
Wikidata Query Service and API, Commons API and Toolforge.
Milestones
20 days - Phase 1
30 days - Phase 2
70 days - Phase 3
45 days - Phase 4
Progress Tracking
Progress tracking will be done through GitHub commits. Community feedback will be gathered on the Meta talk page for the application. Issues will be managed on GitHub.
Success Metrics
Present the data for the following projects through a user-friendly interface.
- Wiki Documents Bengal Terracotta
- Wiki Exploration Programme
- Wiki Loves Your City
- Wiki Docus
Demand and community consultation
A project dashboard for the Wikimedia Commons projects has been in demand from the volunteers working on these projects for a long time. The reasons are -
- When approaching organisations for collaboration, we often found it challenging to show them the work we have done. Many of them have asked for a user-friendly frontend.
- For most of the projects, supplying media for Wikipedia or the other sister projects is secondary. They are self-contained projects. For example, the photographs uploaded as part of the Wiki Documents Bengal Terracotta project will benefit several sister projects. Still, the main aim is to document the details and story depicted in each terracotta panel. And to do that, we need to build a frontend that connects researchers and others working in this domain with Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
Community consultation was done during the User Group meetups.
- T2. Describe the project team, maintenance, and risk management. (required) Include the following information
- Security and privacy considerations and expertise
