[Social media: |hashtag>#TransVisibilityNigeriaChallenge</>]

How to register

All you have to do join this contest is to add your username under Participants then, when you create or improve pages in English languages, come back here and add a link to each page under your name, with the score you claim. To register, please follow the format of the Example below. Also, take a look at our scoring system below.

Scoring

You are responsible for counting your own points. Here's how to do it:

+5 point for each translation in any langauegs created for any Nigerian trans and intersex persons.
+5 point for every new Wikidata item created for any Nigerian trans and intersex persons.
+10 points for every new new article on Nigerian trans and intersex persons created on English Wikipedia.

The points are cumulative.

The organizers have the final say in the scoring of the contributions, and will clarify the rules and points if needed. Please note that the aim is to improve Wikipedia with high quality articles, so any content of low quality that has been added will lose points or even result in a ban from the contest, if the organizers so decide.

Please remember

The points are simply here to make this more fun. Even if you do not join the Challenge to win we would love to learn about your work after the event, so please highlight it here. Your contribution is valuable in itself and with each edit you help make Wikipedia better.

Examples:

If you create a Wikidata item about a transpersos, you get 5 points.
If you create an article about a transperson on English Wikipedia, you get 10 points.

New editors

If you are a new Wikimedia editor, first of all, welcome! We suggest that you take a look at Wikipedia Translation guidelines and the introduction to Wikipedia. That will make it easier to get going! When you start writing, the Manual of Style might be of help. These links go to Wikipedia in English, but all these pages are available in many languages. When you visit them, please have a look on the left-hand side (under "Languages") and see if they exist in your language as well. Every language version of Wikipedia is unique, with its own community and its own conventions, so it's good to have a look at the rules. If you need help, do reach out as we will also be organizing office hour sessions

Contributing to Wikipedia is easier now than ever before and you don't really have to learn any code! Please have a look at Wikipedia:VisualEditor for more information.
