Upcoming MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop
[edit]You may have seen from the banners, but I wanted to let everyone know that the next MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop is happening in our very own Sandusky, Ohio, from May 14-16. This is a three-day workshop featuring discussions of topics related to the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, organizations, and communities. If you or your organization use MediaWiki, this may be a helpful conference. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 12:23, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
Join the 6th Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign – 2025 Edition
[edit]Dear Wikimedia affiliate,
We invite your community to participate in the 6th edition of the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign, a global campaign taking place from July 1 to August 31, 2025.
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable photo from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, Wiki Loves Monuments, etc.) over the years.
More than 60 Wikimedia affiliates have participated since the campaign was launched in 2020 and have added images to more than 400,000 Wikipedia articles in over 245 Wikipedia languages. Thanks to the volunteer contributors!
We now invite your affiliate to organize and lead the campaign within your community. As a local organizer, you may:
- Encourage individual members to take part by adding images to Wikipedia articles.
- Host edit-a-thons focused on improving visual content.
- Organize training workshops to teach contributors how to correctly integrate images into Wikipedia.
These activities will help build local capacity and increase visual content across Wikipedia.
Please note that for participants to be eligible to participate in the campaign, they need to have registered an account for at least a year before the official start date of the contest. That is, for the 2025 edition, they must have registered an account on or before July 1, 2025. The account can be from any Wikimedia project wikis.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language Wikipedia.
We would be glad for you to sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.
With kind regards,
