Part 1: Understanding your work
[edit]Per the recent update on the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy process, Wikimedia Affiliates that are General Support Fund grantees will fulfill their affiliate reporting requirements through their final or yearly grantee report.
If you are a Wikimedia Affiliate, you will use this form for your affiliate reporting and to address the affiliate health criteria. You do not need to submit a separate report to AffCom. Follow the guidance in the green boxes to report on how you met the corresponding affiliate health criteria.
If you are not a Wikimedia Affiliate, aligning your responses with the affiliate criteria is optional and not required.
1. Please share to what extent your programs, approaches, and strategies contributed to addressing the challenges you shared in your proposal. If they did not contribute as you believed they would, please share what obstacles you faced and what, if anything, you learned from them? (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 1.) to address Affiliate Health Criterion 1.1 (Goal delivery). Describe how you actively delivered on mission goals, e.g. content creation.
In 2024 one of our biggest accomplishment was in supporting the editing community. We had a working "tech support approach" with the community where we actively solved technical problems in the wiki, but also proactively fixed and updated gadgets, templates, modules, and CSS rules and focused on improving Wikidata and geodata support. The weekly and monthly competitions were well organized, and we had higher than targeted results in Women's Day competition, Punaisten linkkien naiset, and Wiki Loves Monuments. Public art documentation project also continued its progress.
Our small language support was mostly related to Sami language, but we facilitated for editing topics related to smaller groups such as Meänkieli and participated to the Roma day editathon. Sami language wikimedists highlights included two workshops in Inari organized by the Inari Sami Wikimedist group together with Wikimedia Finland and Wikimedia Norway. We also made language related cleanup in Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. Yupik was also active in National library of Finland projects related to Sami languages. Yupik and Zache participated to Finto's steering group meetings.
We also collaborated with Wikimedia Eesti, including joint travel from Wikimania to Estonia through Latvia, participation in Wikimedia Hackathon in Tallinn/AI Sauna by AvoinGlam in Helsinki, and we participated in Wikimedia Eesti's Summer Days. Heikki also participated in Wikimedia EU, Wikimedia CEE, and Wikimedia's Africa-related events. With Wikimedia Norway, we collaborated on Sami themes and also with Ukbot.
As technological targets, we got the Finnish Journalistic photo archive's 17,000 photos uploaded and initially categorized. About 4-5% of the photos were used in articles. We also updated metadata of existing photos from Finna in Wikimedia Commons to match current identifiers and metadata. For the image hash project, we were able to hash all Wikimedia Commons images and learned how to set up virtual machines in Wikimedia Cloud. We also made some patches and bug fixes to Pywikibot and Cat-a-lot. The JavaScript Wiki Browser was added to Finnish Wikipedia, and some users used it.
For improving internal capacity, we utilized the FiTech programming courses for training, and at least one Wikipedist outside of Wikimedia Finland's core group also completed FiTech courses. We also participated in a project planning course. At the end of the year, we were part of open democracy tools and practices study groups as an example of an organization that uses open decision-making, and we also organized our own study group around the topic.
2. Is there a plan to build on the key successes you had? If yes, please describe the plan and if no, please share the limitations to do so. For instance, did the activities lead to any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future? (required)
In 2025 and following years, our plan is to continue technical capacity building and find ways to integrate our current work. Our biggest targets are to improve the ways how users can participate in on-site contributing to Wikimedia. This means practically crowdsourcing metadata, confirming and fixing information, and taking photographs. For example, how people can add and fix coordinates for public art or how they can submit photos directly from their phones. How we can improve Wiki Loves Monuments uploads and make it so that the same process would work in other cooperative tasks too, not just in WLM.
In Sami-language area, our target would be to deepen our work with Sami Wikimedia actives and potentially find external funding sources for their work. For example, it would be great to have a Sami Wikimedia-in-residence place in Finland, Norway, or Sweden. Yupik and Zache as vice is also continuing as Wikimedia Finland's representative in the Finto steering group, and we expect that work will continue and deepen with the National Library of Finland.
Another thing is how to make our work more effective. One practical plan for 2025 is to move Public Art data from Wikipedia to Wikidata and publish it as part of the 2026 Oulu 2026 Culture Capital program. Other plans in Oulu2026 is to have a Wikimedist meeting together with Nordic and Baltic Wikimedists. Especially Wikimedia Eesti has asked if WMFI would like to organize a Finno-Ugric Wikimedist meeting. We are planning to organize an meeting in Oulu 2026 together with AvoinGlam, and a Wikimedist meeting would be part of a larger GLAM/language event organized by AvoinGlam
As technological targets, we have plans to improve the rephotography app, make metadata and image imports from Wikidata, improve WLM tools, improve imagehashing tools, implement a crowdsourcing campaign for Journalistic Photo Archive photos, and improve gadgets. Currently ongoing projects in the pipeline are Ukbot work together with Wikimedia Norway and Cat-a-lot submission to Outreachy.
We joined the Villa Karo Finnish African Cultural Center and Residency in Benin Republic as a community member. Wimediens du Benin User Group is our collaborative companion too.
It is clear that we cannot do all these ideas simultaneously. What we choose to do and in which order on depends on the people available, their interests, whether external funding applications are successful, and if there are specific needs at the time.
3. Please provide a link to reports that detail the activities that took place in the last year. This can include an annual report, Meta pages, and websites. If there are no links available, briefly describe the implemented activities and programs below or upload any files. (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 3.) to address Affiliate Health Criteria 2.1 (Affiliate health & resilience), 4.1 (Internal engagement), 4.2 (Community connection), and 4.3 (Partnerships and collaboration):
- Describe your activities engaging new users, new members for your decision-making body(ies), and developing leaders and organizers (2.1).
- Describe your activities creating or hosting spaces to encourage greater collaboration and engagement among your members (4.1).
- Describe how you engage with the contributing community that you serve and/or support (4.2).
- Describe your partnerships with other affiliates or with non-Wikimedia entities (4.3).
- [1]
- [2]
4. Are you interested in sharing what you achieved or learned this year with the wider community through different peer learning programs (e.g. Let's Connect program, Diff)? (optional)
Yes
Currently we have been trying to publish at least a couple of times per year to submit something to This Month In GLAM to document our work in English. Yupik has been making presentations of their Sami work in different events. With technical work, especially related to Google Summer of Code and Outreachy, we are currently sharing experiences with Wiki Mentor Africa. We are also documenting our work on-wiki. Currently, we are also actively sharing learnings with Wikimedia Eesti.
5. Did you collect feedback from your community or target groups on how the activities implemented impacted them? If yes, please attach/provide information on the results (e.g. community surveys, stories, impact booklets/reports, interviews with partner institutions, etc). Did you collect other impact-specific data? (required)
For affiliates, the response to Question 5. also partially addresses Affiliate Health Criteria 4.1 (Internal Engagement), 4.2 (Community Connection), or 4.3 (Partnerships & collaboration), where applicable.
Not systemically. We have discussed with individual Wikipedists in events, emails, chat, talk pages, etc. about our work and what they would like us to do. However, this is not a systematic method for collecting information, and we have not asked how our work has impacted them. Also, we have not asked institutional partners what they have thought about our work. The only institution where we do know that they valued our work was the National Library of Finland, which publicly thanked Yupik's Sami language work in their Finto 10-year anniversary event and asked if Wikimedia Finland would like to continue in Finto's steering group in next four year period.About other impact metric data, we are tracking usage of Wikidata items and properties in Finnish Wikipedia and how uploaded files to commons have been used.
6. During the fund period, did your efforts do any of the following? (required):
For affiliates, the response to Question 6. also partially addresses Affiliate Health Criterion 2.2 (Diversity balance).
- 6.1 Bring in participants from the following groups: women, indigenous groups , people from lower socioeconomic status, speakers of minority languages
- 6.2 Develop content about the following underrepresented topics or groups of people: women, LGBTQ+ groups, speakers of minority languages
- 6.3 Support the retention of: Editors, Organizers
7. What, if any, effective tactics or approaches can you share that worked well when dealing with the programs under points 6.1-6.3 that you selected? (optional)
We feel that Sami language projects have been working very well, for example, Sami language support in competitions is a nice way to integrate it into our daily work. It is also good to support by funding practicalities and travel costs. The National Library of Finland's project to add Northern Sami in Finto and Finna services as formal languages was something we highly appreciate as a result. The credit for the work goes much to Susanna's work in AvoinGLAM and Yupik's work through multiple organizations. As Yupik and Zache were Wikimedia Finland representatives in Finto's steering group.From a Wikimedia perspective, the project was useful as the UI and ontology translations can be used in Wikidata and when translating MediaWiki. Zache also made the request for whitelisting Finto's SPARQL endpoint in Wikimedia's Query services, and Wikimedia Finland also did some Sami cleanup work in Wikidata.
Adding clickable areas instead of just points to Wiki Loves Monuments map was a clear improvement from usability point of view, and we suspect that it was a reason which increased the number of photos taken.
Women's Day weekly competition and Punaisten linkkien naiset are working well and they are well adopted by the community. Punaisten linkkien naiset uses a museum card and dinner winners in an interesting restaurant as a meetup, and we are thinking that we could use it in other competitions too.
We have also good connections with Muijii Wikipediaan and Marginaalimerkintöjä groups, which are organizing editing events for female editors and writing about females. We have supported the International Roma Day editathon by doing housekeeping tasks in competition pages and Wikidata, and this Wikidata work could be used in the future for automatic calculation of the results, as currently it is done manually.
Tochi had a presentation about Wiki Mentor Africa work in Wikimedia Finland's autumn meeting, and we are seeking ways to work together in 2025 in some coding projects. We also have active connections with Villa Karo in Benin, and some with Wikimedist du Benin. We are planning a Benin-related editing event in 2025.
Regarding people from lower socioeconomic status, Wikimedia Finland has been hiring students for thesis works and interns, and in 2023 and 2024, two persons who had been unemployed for a long time. One of the reasons for this has been that we have used these hirings at the same time for learning, developing tutoring, internal documentation, health care contracts, learning project management, etc. One reason for hiring people who were unemployed for a long time was that they were eligible for government-paid subsidies. Compared to grants, paid subsidies are substantial, €20,000 in total, and getting them is predictable. So it is a good funding source from a project planning point of view. Another view for same is that it will require project planning so that projects can handle blockers and that the tutoring period is longer than with higher education students. However, results are rewarding. We are particularly pleased with how Ipr1 has contributed to supporting the Finnish Wikipedia editor community.
8. If you developed partnerships, which of the following factors most helped you to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors (optional):
Board members’ outreach, Volunteers from our communities, Partners proactive interest

Part 3: Skill Development / Capacity Building
[edit]12. Reflecting on your programmatic (external) and organizational (internal) work, did your grant support you to undergo any skill development that made a difference to your success? If yes, what skill was developed, and how did it lead to success? (e.g. received coaching on public speaking, attended training on nonviolent communication, hosted professional development conversations on leadership, learned and used a new tool for project management, etc.)? Can you share any materials? (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 12.) to address Affiliate Health Criteria 2.2 (Diversity balance) and 3.1 (Diverse, Skilled, and Accountable Leadership):
- Describe actions taken to prioritize gender balance in affiliate leadership, as well as any areas of diversity relevant to your affiliate's context (2.2).
- Describe the management, financial, or other leadership skills of your affiliate leaders. If you have a succession plan, please include it here (3.1).
- Describe any training or skill development (as outlined in the question above) (3.1).
- Incorporate into the annual report a disclosure of conflict of interests (if any) from the leadership (3.1).
In 2024, Wikimedia Finland used FiTech programming courses (Python, Git) as introduction courses. We also completed an open university project funding course. The main reason to use FiTech courses was that they were free university-level courses. Beyond our Wikimedia work-related courses, one person did a Unity game programming course, and one volunteer told us that he started doing FiTech courses independently after we told him about them. Learning Python programming is important to make Wikimedia Commons imports and Wikidata editing, and improved programming skills helped with Lua programming also. We also started to systematically review the incoming funding calls and started monthly meetings around the topics. In 2024, we participated in 5 funding calls, either as we submitted the application or we were reviewing/helping in the writing of applications for the calls where Wikimedia Finland was not a participant. None of them passed, though, but we learned a lot about calls.
In autumn 2024, we were reviewed for open democracy study groups as an example organization which was using open democracy practices. We also started our own open democracy study group. Our topics were about other open democracy pilots and other groups which were using open democracy decision-making and their policies. One interesting topic was the history of Open Knowledge Finland and its predecessors. Other topics were software tools, what was used for open decision-making and how they were used for collecting data for yearly planning. In the Wikimedia Finland context, we were interested in doing something similar with Wikipedists. Another interesting use case was how Tampere hacklab in Finland was showing its financial status to all its members in real time.
One of the strategic targets in 2024 has been to understand how AI applications will change the workflows, and we have actively used tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and NotebookLLM. As writing aids, we have used DeepL, Google Translate, and Grammarly. We have also followed open source AI model development such as Microsoft Phi, Llama, and Qwen. Most use cases have been in the context of how to use them as writing and coding aids and generating article topic lists. The most useful use cases for AI tools have been proofreading, getting feedback from texts, and generating code snippets as examples. In 2025, they will be used as search tools also, but in 2024 they weren't good enough for that.
We also learned new technical things, but most important in the Wikimedia context were how to use virtual machines in Wikimedia Cloud services. We also learned how to configure Ontop SPARQL server and how to submit new endpoints to Wikimedia SPARQL query service whitelist.
13. What is one capacity/skill area that you would like to focus on for the next year? And how do you plan to achieve this capacity? (required)
In 2024, we participated in an Open Democracy study group where we investigated how Tampere Cyclists (Tapo) facilitated their yearly planning using a feedback mechanism. Members were asked to respond to statements such as:
- "The main task of Tampere Cyclists is to influence traffic planning and policy for the benefit of cycling in the region."
- "Facebook should be maintained as an important information and discussion channel."
Members could answer with "Yes," "No," or "Skip" and had the option to submit their own statements. The responses generated numerical data, showing how opinions were divided. This data was then used to compile the yearly plan, with references to the statements on which the text was based.
The tool they used for this process was Pol.is.
In 2025, we plan to use a similar process to collect information from Wikimedians when planning our 2026 activities and drafting the yearly plan.
14. If you have additional information or reflections that don’t fit into the above sections, please write them here. Use the space below to upload any additional documents that would be useful to understand your report.
For affiliates, also use this section (Question 14) to fulfill the Affiliate Health Criteria requirements.
- Describe and link to any public-facing documentation for affiliate governance, including affiliate leadership and membership with a breakdown of the demographics; how elections are conducted; how conflicts of interest are declared; and how decisions are made and communicated (2.2, 2.3, 3.1).
- Describe and link to any public-facing documentation for activities incorporating, promoting awareness about, or enforcing the Universal Code of Conduct in your affiliate's activities (3.3).
- Describe and link to any public-facing documentation for internal membership engagement, such as notes from your regular meetings and how you communicate to or involve your membership (4.1).
Criteria 2.3 Good governance & communication [Q14]:
The Wikimedia Finland is governed by the Associations Act of Finland and the association's bylaws. The association's highest decision-making authority is exercised by its members at meetings of the association, usually the spring and autumn meetings. At the meeting, the board and its chair is elected, which is responsible for the association's day-to-day administration and represents the association. Membership
Anyone who accepts the organization's purpose and rules can become a regular member. Wikimedia Finland doesn’t currently have a membership fee. The board approves membership applications and resignations. The board can also expel members for failure to fulfill obligations, conduct damaging to the organization, or no longer meeting membership requirements.
General Meetings
The association has two formal meetings: a spring meeting and an autumn meeting. Special meetings can be called by decision of a meeting/board or upon written request by at least 1/10 of voting members. Convocations for meetings must be published with at least seven days' advance notice via email, postal mail, or the organization website. Our usual practice is to publish these via email, our own wiki, Wikipedia, and Facebook.
At the spring meeting, members approve the previous year's work and financial statement. At the autumn meeting, members select a new board and auditor, and approve the budget and action plan for the next year. At both meetings there is a presentation on how association strategy has been implemented. In the meetings members can make updates to the strategy if it is needed. Wikimedia Finland has been using a professional auditor since 2015.
Changes to association rules are also made in general meetings and require a ⅔ majority vote, provided that the proposed change has been declared in the meeting agenda.
Board Structure
The board consists of a chairperson and 4-8 other board members elected at the autumn meeting for one calendar year. The board selects a vice-chairperson from among themselves and appoints a secretary, treasurer, and other necessary officials (from within or outside the board). * Current board members are listed at [5]
Board Meetings
Board meetings can be called by the chairperson/vice-chairperson when needed or when at least half the board members request it. Meetings are quorate when at least half of board members are present, including the chairperson or vice-chairperson.
By long-standing practice, board meetings are held at 18:00 EEST on the first Monday of every month except July, when there is a summer break. Remote participation is possible. The next meeting date is confirmed at the previous meeting. There are also email meetings with shorter notice if there is a need for mid-month decisions on single items.
Conflict of Interest
Wikimedia Finland follows the WMF's guidelines on potential conflicts of interest, and the usual practice is to declare these at board meetings on a low threshold. If the conflict of interest is relevant, it is documented in meeting minutes.
Meeting Openness
Board meetings are open to all members who have the right to speak based on our bylaws; however, based on long-standing practice, the meetings are open to everybody, including the right to talk and add items to the agenda. One reason for this is that most Wikimedians are not formal members of Wikimedia Finland, and we want to keep our meetings open to everyone.
Travel grants, for example, are decided so that the participation to the event and travel grant are proposed in a board meeting and the board will decide on the grant. Usually the board will approve a rough size for the grant and it will be paid against actual costs. De facto prioritization is that if a Wikimedian has a presentation at the event or is an organizer or has never been to any Wikimedia event, then the person will be prioritized over people who have been to many events and do not have presentations.
Board meeting agendas and minutes are stored in Google Docs and are publicly readable. These are also Wikimedia Finlands central place for documentation about our work which links to ongoing work and published documents. In terms of financial transparency at monthly board meetings, there is a list of expense claims and purchases. There is also a summary of what employees have done in the last month, including the number of billed hours. If there are persons whose real names aren't currently known, these are not written in meeting minutes and some alternative way is used (Wikimedia username, member ID number, etc.).
Non-member participation
We do not require people to be members of Wikimedia Finland to participate in our events and work or to receive travel grants. One reason for this is that people would be required to reveal their real name and their address by association law if they would like to formally join Wikimedia Finland, and by default, we do not collect this type of information if it is not required. For this reason, we do not also collect and store information about gender, etc. in our member register.
Our main method for communicating with people are discussions on the Finnish Wikipedia on talk pages, project pages, and in the village pump, the Facebook group Wikipedian ystävät (friends of Wikipedia), and in Wikimedia Finland’s blog. The Inari Saami Wikimedians User Group also informs about our joint work online in the newspaper Anarâš aavis, on the Inari Saami Wikipedia, on the Facebook page Anarâškielâ orroomviste, and in offline publications such as Anarâš-lostâ.
Statistics
The organization has grown steadily from 23 members in 2010 to 114 members in 2024, and maintains demographic records showing that board leadership from 2009-2025 included 11 female and 20 male members, while employees during the same period included 5 male and 6 female staff members across various part-time and internship positions.

Criteria 3.3 Universal Code of Conduct compliance [Q14]
Wikimedia Suomi did not organise any events, training sessions, or campaigns that focused specifically on the Universal Code of Conduct in 2024. However, The UCoC is translated to Finnish and linked in the footer of our association wiki. All our meet‑ups and workshops participants were expected to treat one another with respect and civility in line with the UCoC, and no violations arose that required intervention. Even though 2024 did not have any UCoC related incidents in previous years we have been consulted (usually in their personal capacity not as WMFI members) with WMFI board, stewards, VTRS members, WMF trust and safety or directly intervened when we have been contacted and asked for help. We have also already adopted practices consistent with the UCoC in previous years. For example:During the Helsinki Rephotography project (2019 – 2023) we reviewed friendly‑space principles and adopted the following Finnish best‑practice references as external models:
- Turun Kirjakahvila – Accessibility & safer‑space guidelines* [11]
- Oranssi ry – Safer‑space principles* [12]
- Turvallisesti mukana – Handbook for organising safer leisure activities* [13]
Since 2022, each meeting agenda has been reviewed in advance by three people—the drafter, the chair, and a third board member (usually the secretary)—so the chair can prepare if there is complex issues in the agenda. This guide was embedded to meeting agenda template.
Example:
* [14]
One board member is explicitly responsible for personnel matters and for mediating any conflicts between members or employees or volunteers; this person is also the handler of the potential UCoC complaints.
We also maintain a long‑standing no‑alcohol policy at events (with limited exceptions, such as a toast at award ceremonies or when writing‑competition winners attend a dinner and may choose their own beverages), which further reduces risk factors.In 2024 we also monitored movement‑wide UCoC developments—such as the election of the U4C committee—while it remained a background commitment rather than an active programme focus
