Using Wikipedia as an enhancer, possibly for other platforms
"WikiMe"
Using Wikipedia to enhance knowledge collections and create things to share
People like to make collections of their favorite media (movies, books, music) on platforms or in private notes and spreadsheets
Wikipedia has information on all these (the real events and people that inspired works of fiction, details about production and reception, and more) but it’s not easy to find, browse, or share
How might we create a way to surface interesting context from Wikipedia related to people's collections and make it easy to browse and share, understanding lessons learned from previous projects such as Gather
A Wikipedia Robox discussion, based on the last call, as well as some project updates.

Intro to Future Audiences – what it is and why WMF is doing it (10 min)
Discussion: LATAM-specific traffic trends: Look at Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Reports/Core Metrics Q2/Appendix#By user region together and discuss: what may be contributing to traffic declines in Latin America? What different factors may be at play (for example: country-specific, audience-specific, demographic, technological, other)? How aware are communities of these trends and has there been any discussion/proposed actions? What could be a good next step to continue this discussion with the broader Spanish and Portuguese communities? (30 min)
Other important trends to think about/discuss as a movement (i.e., what's happening in related sectors – i.e., education; digital literacy; advocacy, etc.) (10 min)
Interpretation in Spanish, but anyone is welcome. We are also looking into interpretation in Portuguese.
