subtitle-2260-8440-1"So whether or not we broadcast the information about our plans to a large number"
subtitle-8440-13340-2"of contributors, we always should document our partnership on-wiki."
subtitle-13360-17980-3"We should have some kind of project page or partnership page on the relevant wiki."
subtitle-18010-22570-4"If it's about content on Wikipedia, then it should be on Wikipedia, in the Wikipedia"
subtitle-22570-25960-5"namespace, Wikipedia:<the name of the project>."
subtitle-27130-31560-6"If it's a massive image donation, we should have a project page on Commons."
subtitle-31570-34900-7"If it's a data donation, we should have a page on Wikidata."
subtitle-36040-40690-8"But the point is that any mention of the partnership can always be linked to that"
subtitle-40690-46150-9"central information page with all the details, including, very importantly, the"
subtitle-46150-51310-10"main contact, the person to reach out to so that it's not kind of an impersonal"

subtitle-55450-61960-12"You should always make sure that at least one specific user, specific person, even if"
subtitle-61960-66220-13"you're not public about your identity, by the way, a username is okay, but a specific"
subtitle-66220-70630-14"individual is identified as somehow being in charge of this partnership."
subtitle-72420-76620-15"And you want to make sure that you're accessible."
subtitle-77190-80880-16"And then as as the partnership develops or the potential partnership develops, you can"
subtitle-80880-83070-17"list goals and timelines."
subtitle-83070-87690-18"And eventually when things start happening, you can collect statistics and list outcomes"
subtitle-87690-93000-19"and reports and featured media and whatever you want, so that there is a living document"
subtitle-93000-94050-20"of the work."
subtitle-94200-99690-21"And then people who encounter traces of this activity elsewhere on the wiki, or someone"
subtitle-99690-104640-22"mentions, "Oh yeah, this is part of Project X", they can go click and find all the"
subtitle-104640-109260-23"information about Project X, including the person in charge, not just to complain or"
subtitle-109260-114930-24"blame, but also to volunteer and help, so make sure you create such a page."
subtitle-115620-122550-25"Here are two quick examples: This is the on-Wikipedia page for the British Library"

subtitle-123660-124950-27"It's just the beginning of the page."
subtitle-124950-129270-28"Of course you can go and look at it yourself, but there's a whole list here of"
subtitle-129270-133290-29"the projects that they've done, and of image requests, and of events that they've done,"
subtitle-133290-139320-30"and events that they're planning, and all kinds of reports, and templates, and tags,"
subtitle-139320-145650-31"and all kinds of things and statistics, all related to the relationship between Wikipedia"
subtitle-145740-147030-32"and the British Library."
subtitle-147030-153770-33"This is on Wikipedia, on English Wikipedia, and here's an example on Commons: This is an"

subtitle-165470-168530-36"These are the contact people related to this museum."
subtitle-168980-174200-37"So even though it's a lot less fancy without tabs and big categories and stuff, it"
