Content Partnerships Hub
Improving the Wikimedia movement’s work with content partners
Helpdesk projects
Since its pilot launch in mid-2021, the Helpdesk has guided more than a dozen content partnerships from initial concept to full implementation. Each project is vetted and prioritized by our international Expert Committee, ensuring tailored workflows, licensing guidance, and technical training that empower local communities and affiliates to share open knowledge at scale.
Larger projects that are ongoing, or projects that are finalized, are publicly listed here.
