Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
通過資助前，我們已先成立推廣小組、規劃課程、尋找推廣維基媒體運動的場所、查找宮廟文化可訪談的耆老、專家。 通過補助後，首先，於1月設計宣傳品為推廣之物品，第二在2月主動申請說明會場地，以推廣維基媒體運動為主要目的，第三選定辦理線上課程時間為星期二晚上，以期鼓勵參與者習慣母語文字，第四規劃實地訪談活動為5月，第五不定期發佈資訊至META及Facebook社群，最後，則鼓勵社群成員編輯wiktionary、wikidata，並於訪談結束後，於6月、7月、8月整理照片、音檔、文字至commons、wikisource。
Before approving the funding, we established a promotion group firstly. We planned courses, looked for venues to promote Wikimedia activities, and looked for elders and experts who could interview the temple culture. After we got the sponsorship, firstly, we designed a postcard, poster and some patterns for a promotion project in January. Secondly, we applied for the venue for the meeting in February, and the main purpose was promoting the Wikimedia movement. Thirdly, we chose Tuesday evening as our online course, in order to encourage participants to get used to native language writing. Fourthly, we planned a field study and interview in May and published the information in META and Facebook. Finally, community members are encouraged to edit wiktionary and Wikidata. And after the interviews are completed, we uploaded the photos, audio files, and texts into commons and Wikisource from June to August.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
The effective ways to achieve goals: First, it is important to follow the original plan and work together as a team to accomplish it during the project period. If there are somethings that need to be reviewed and improved, it should be included in future improvement and corrections. Firstly, we believed that creating promotional materials is an excellent way to promote our cause. We had designed practical postcards, with a focus on daily life and temple-related themes, adding an element of fun in addition to their utility. We had applied for event venues, with a priority on securing a location through the "Ministry of Culture." Our primary promotional theme revolves around "Mother Language Day." While our aim is to promote temple culture, our main goal is to advocate for the Wikimedia movement. In order to facilitate continuous learning, we had designated Tuesday evenings as our online learning sessions. We encouraged participants to not only practice their mother language but also gain an understanding of Wikimedia projects. Before the interview, we had scheduled interviews with elders and pre-planned discussion topics. Additionally, we had actively recruited interested participants through Facebook. Besides, we periodically shared information in our mother language on META and Facebook communities. Lastly, we motivated community members to edit Wiktionary and Wikidata. After the interviews, we uploaded photos, audio files, and texts into Commons and Wikisource.

4. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.
| A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups | Strongly agree |
| B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community | Strongly agree |
| C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups | Strongly agree |
| D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives | Strongly agree |
| E. Encourage the retention of editors | Strongly agree |
| F. Encourage the retention of organizers | Strongly agree |
5. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
我們發現到，喜愛宮廟文化的參與者，大多只能用台語聽、說，在說明活動上，確實吸引參與者至攤位，然而，持續書寫、閱讀相關內容，仍需要持續推廣。然而，耆老參與維基媒體運動的技術能力較為不足，我們在推廣期間，學習到lingualibre，將有助於協助耆老參與計畫、貢獻聲音。
We have observed that most participants who have an interest in temple culture can primarily understand and speak in Taiwanese. While our presentation activities effectively attract participants to our booth, promoting continuous writing and reading of related content remains an ongoing challenge. Furthermore, elderly participants often lack the technical skills needed to engage in the Wikimedia movement. During our promotional efforts, we have learned about LinguaLibre, which can assist elderly individuals in participating in the project and contributing their voices.
Part 2: Your main learning[edit]
6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
1.Event Planning and Promotion: We participated in World Mother Language Day booth activities and found that most people are only familiar with Wikipedia and are unaware of other Wikimedia projects. Additionally, most Taiwanese speakers in Taiwan do not possess writing skills and cannot even read Taiwanese script. This perhaps underscores the importance of actively preserving text in Wikimedia projects. 2.Taiwanese Writing and Wikimedia Data Usage: We conduct regular Taiwanese writing classes on Tuesday evenings. Initially, these classes focused primarily on visual and reading methods, with writing gradually being introduced later on. Due to the limited time available for writing during workshops, the use of Wikimedia data is not as prominent, and this aspect may require further adjustment in the future. 3.Community Management: Community management is not our primary focus. However, to promote the Taiwanese language and introduce deity and temple culture, we periodically update content. 4.Interviewing Elders: Interviewing elders is a key part of our activities. We physically visit temples, old temples, and historical sites, taking photos and asking elders to share cultural and historical insights. We then document this information on Wikisource. This approach effectively increases oral documentation, photos, and audio related to temple culture, and we plan to continue this work in the future.
7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
1.Wikidata's Lexeme and Wiktionary These two projects are quite similar, but Wikidata's Lexeme has more potential for the future, particularly in the world of AI, where it can be widely applied. We have found that if someone is familiar with Lexeme and willing to synchronize Wiktionary information with Lexeme, it can be more beneficial for the promotion of Wikimedia projects. 2.Oral Language in Interview Locations Since we focus on recording temple culture, the terminology used is often specialized. Furthermore, the pronunciation may vary significantly between Yilan and other regions. While transcribing and documenting the content from audio recordings is a challenging process, we still consider interviewing elders and recording their oral accounts to be a crucial step. This should be a long-term endeavor. 3. Shortage of Video Editing Resources Throughout the project's execution, most of our members lack video editing skills, which has prevented us from presenting our work in the form of short videos. We should consider incorporating short video promotion as it can help people better understand the Wikimedia movement. 4. Promoting LinguaLibre We have found that using LinguaLibre is a convenient way to record audio content. Since most elderly individuals are not proficient in writing and are unfamiliar with Wikimedia projects, we can effectively utilize LinguaLibre to assist them in recording their voices and preserving their mother language in shared resources.
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
本期計畫已增加了的wikisource口述內容，未來應可將口述文獻資料做為文獻參考來源，成為語言學習的文本、或是推廣的參考，長遠來看，wikisource內提及的用詞，仍然可與wikidata的lexeme與Wiktionary結合與應用，應是未來的優先目標。 我們發現到，台語的文字在維基媒體計畫仍是少數語言，關於未來活動的想法，希望能持續以wikidata的lexeme或是增加台語圖說為主要方向。 在我們執行的過程中，我們亦學習到lingualibre，期待未來能將lingualibre優先列入推廣目標，協助耆老錄製聲音，上傳至共享資源。 The project has expanded the oral content on Wikisource, and in the future, this oral documentation should serve as a reference source for literature, becoming a text for language learning or a reference for promotion. In the long term, the vocabulary mentioned in Wikisource can still be integrated and applied with Wikidata's Lexeme and Wiktionary, which should be a priority goal for the future. We have noticed that Taiwanese language content on Wikimedia projects remains limited. Regarding future activities, we hope to continue focusing on Wikidata's Lexeme or increasing the use of Taiwanese captions.
Throughout our implementation process, we have also learned about LinguaLibre. We look forward to prioritizing LinguaLibre in our promotional goals to assist elders in recording their voices and uploading them to shared resources.

12. Did you have any difficulties collecting data to measure your results? This could include things like a lack of time or resources, or the expertise in your team to collect this data. It could also include difficulties with particular data collection tools.
Yes
12a. State what difficulties you had.
我們也發現到，台語雖然是我們的母語，然而，在台灣的文字書寫是中文為主，會說台語的人，其實都不會書寫，甚至也看不懂台語文字，我們本無法快速聽音打字，一分鐘音檔需要花費一小時的時間查找字詞典、完成口述文字的記錄，是整項計畫中，最耗時、費力的工作，新的志願者較不願意花費時間協助聽打、更新維基媒體計畫。 相對於活動計分版需要加入參與者帳號以外，wikiscan是很方便的統計方式，我們能清楚看到每個帳號、每月的編輯狀況。 We have noticed that while Taiwanese is our mother tongue, the predominant written language in Taiwan is Chinese. People who can speak Taiwanese often cannot write it and may not even understand the Taiwanese script. We are unable to transcribe audio quickly; transcribing one minute of audio can take up to an hour, as it involves searching dictionaries for words and completing the oral text records. This is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive task in the entire project, and new volunteers are less willing to spend time assisting with transcription and updating Wikimedia projects. In contrast to the activity scoreboard, which requires the addition of participant accounts, Wikiscan is a convenient way to gather statistics. With Wikiscan, we can clearly see the editing activity of each account on a monthly basis. Wikiscan統計(Wikiscan Statistics) https://zh-min-nanwiktionary.wikiscan.org/?date_filter=2023&menu=userstats
12b. How do you hope to overcome these challenges in the future? Do you have any recommendations for the Foundation to support you in addressing these challenges?
The biggest challenge during project execution is that we have identified many interview contents that could be updated on Lexeme and Wiktionary. However, due to the time-consuming nature of listening and transcribing, we haven't been able to dedicate additional time to updating related vocabulary on other Wikimedia projects. We hope that future projects can include workshops on Wikisource focusing on visual, auditory, and reading skills, with interview literature as the study material.
13. Use this space to upload any documents and provide links to any tools you have used that would be useful to understand your data collection (e.g., surveys you have carried out, communications material, training material, program and event dashboard link, project page on Meta).
Here is an additional field to type in URLs.
不適用
14. Have you shared these results with other Wikimedian communities (either affiliates, user groups, volunteers, etc., different to yours)? This can include things such as data and direct outcomes, lessons you have learned, or information on how to run or recreate your programs.
Yes
14a. If yes or partially, please describe how you have already shared them and if you would like to do more sharing, and if so how.
維基媒體計畫成果分享方式主要是facebook與meta…等維基媒體計劃，我們公開任何成果資訊，並與各社群交流的過程當中，除了訪談口述成果、活動宣傳成果，亦提供維基媒體計畫的連結，我們發現大多數志願者並不了解lexeme、Wiktionary，我們也會貢獻所知、傳遞經驗。 The main platforms for sharing the results of Wikimedia projects are primarily Facebook and Meta. We openly share information about any achievements and engage in discussions with various communities. During this process, we not only share the outcomes of interviews and event promotions but also provide links to Wikimedia projects. We have noticed that most volunteers are not familiar with Lexeme and Wiktionary, so we also contribute our knowledge and share our experiences.
