Wiki Editoras Lx (WELx) is a feminist user group of wikimedians in Portuguese that meet twice a month since may 2019 - in person at PENHAS CO, in Lisbon, and online since march 2020 - to edit (create, improve and extend articles/ pages) about cis and trans women, non-binary people and other matters of interest.

Committed to action based on anti-colonial, decolonial, anti-racist, anti-capacitist and anti-discrimination values and principles, we create and improve pages, and insert images and data to promote knowledge equity.

At the same time, we contribute to more people underrepresented in the Wikimedia Movement being able to edit and increase their representation on this digital platform, reducing bias and promoting a more plural community.

Edit-a-thon Visibility of Margins. Together we edit Wikipedia - 2019

We have been meeting biweekly since May 2019 — in person at PENHAS CO, in Lisbon, and online since March 2020 — to edit (create, improve and expand entries/pages) about cis and trans women, non-binary people, and issues of interest to them.

The group prioritises editing content linked to Portuguese-speaking communities, in particular black, migrant, indigenous, rural, Roma/traveller LGBTQIP+,and PcD among others. Another priority of this group is to increase the number of editors within Wikipedia, and for that purpose, it opens its meetings twice a month to those who have never edited and would like to learn.

Guest curators

These arise from the desire to collaborate in order to address the lack of representation of communities and specific knowledge in Wikipedia. Their purpose is to hold a Wiki Editoras Lx editing meeting in which the content to be edited is defined by an invited curator (person or organization). The meeting is not regular and takes place when there are opportunities for partnerships and the possibility of organisation. You don't have to know how to edit to participate, and can receive training at the event.

Partners of the Guest Curatorships carried out between 2020 and 2023:

  • curatorship #1 - Mulheres na Arquitectura Association and the academic project W.ARCH.PT
  • curatorship #2 - Poet Raquel Lima
  • curatorship #3 - Collective Faca
  • curatorship #4: Vanessa Sanches, journalist and CEO of the magazine Bantumen
  • curatorship #5 - Lolo Arziki, film-maker

Edit-a-thons

Marathons of article creation on Wikipedia in Portuguese, about and of interest to cis- and trans- women, and gender non-conforming people, with a focus on Portuguese speaking, Black, Indigenous, migrant and LGBTQI+ population. Participation is free and you do not need to know how to edit, training is provided.
