Event:WikiProject Organized Labour Month Online Campaign

From 1 to 30 September 2026, a month long online community editing event dedicated to all topics covered under WikiProject Organized Labour including strike actions, trade unions, labor law, union busting etc.

This edit-a-thon is inspired by the Wiki Workers United campaign and shows its solidarity by improving coverage of union-related topics across the different wiki projects in a policy compliant manner.

Goals

Each project page can identify and prioritize goals specifically relevant to the corresponding wiki.

On an inter-project level, WikiProject Organized Labour should foster collaboration across projects and develop shared priorities, such as:

Identify 99-relevant topics that should exist across all Wikipedia language editions: Wiki99/Organized Labour
Improve regional variety of topics across Wikis.
Identify both locally specific topics and topics with broader applicability
Make it easier for local wiki projects to run their own community editing events with language agnostic templates and prepared tasks
Have fun!
