Official 2025 Poster

Africa Wiki Challenge in Tanzania 2025 is an initiative designed to generate and enhance African content on Wikipedia, with a particular focus on issues that are central to the African continent’s history, development, achievements, and ongoing struggles. The annual competition strives to enhance information about Africa on Wikipedia and its sister projects.

Often, African-related articles on Wikipedia are either stubs or lack videos or photos to provide visual context and enhance credibility. This inadvertently diminishes interest in reading existing African-related articles on Wikipedia. It's evident that Africa as a whole faces a notable deficiency, particularly in terms of content representation on Wikipedia.
