News from international CEE Spring 2016[edit]

Hi, dear local organizer of CEE Spring 2016! We have some news and updates.

  • There are new countries and projects that joined the contest after it started, these are Belarusian classic Wikipedia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Sakha and Turkey. Our Timeline is updated, so please update your plans as well. If some other countries join the contest on the go, we will inform you!
  • There are two types of statistics gathered:
    If you don't use the template yet, here is an example: uk:Template:CEE Spring 2016. Its usage looks like: {{CEE Spring 2016 |user= |topic= |topic2= |topic3= |country= |country2= |country3= }}
    If you are using it but don't see your project in the stats then, perhaps, you are not using it properly. Only articles created (or improved if the rules allow this) for the contest during its period should have the template on respective talk pages.
  • Let us remind you, that as the contest is held simultaneously in many Wikipedias, it is vital that all articles, contest templates and categories are linked with Wikidata. Don't forget about this :)
  • If your local contest has some special needs (e.g. stats by weeks), let us know. Having local rules briefly described on Meta page is compulsory for well-mannered organisers :)

Please let us know if you need help with anything! Any questions leave here.

If someone wants to receive such updates from CEE Spring on their talk page, they may add their username on this page. It might also be useful to join WMCEE-l mailing list (wmcee-l@tools.wikimedia.pl, registration).

Best regards from international organizers,
