Participants of the Celebration of the Wikimedia in Portuguese

In May 2025, the Celebration of the Wikimedia in Portuguese (Festa da Wikimedia em Português in Portuguese) was held as a virtual event with a decentralized program that extended throughout the month. Designed for Portuguese-speaking organizations and individuals, the event fostered a strategic space for listening, coordination, and learning among different agents of the Wikimedia Movement in Portuguese. It strengthened Wikimedia Brasil’s commitment to diversity, decentralization, and the collaborative construction of free knowledge, connecting initiatives from Brazil, Portugal, and Portuguese-speaking African countries.[1]

The event included at least ten community sessions, engaged 85 participants, and generated 11 documented resources–such as presentations, videos, workshops, and webinars–made available on Wikimedia Commons. The initiative aligns with the strategic goal of deepening and guiding governance networks within the Wikimedia Movement, fostering globally relevant insights and contributing to a more interconnected and participatory Portuguese-speaking community.[1]

The Wikiconcurso Música Brasileira aimed to expand and improve knowledge about Brazil's rich musical heritage on Portuguese Wikipedia, enhancing visibility for genres, artists, movements, instruments, festivals, and cultural assets that reflect the country's cultural diversity. The initiative aligns with the strategic axis of coordinating Brazilian Wikimedia agencies and supports the broader dissemination of free cultural knowledge. Its primary objective was to encourage the creation and improvement of articles essential to preserving and promoting Brazilian music and showing Wikimedia as an infrastructure for cultural diversity.

Qualitatively, the contest increased coverage of under-documented topics and engaged new editors through workshops and editing activities. Quantitatively, it delivered substantial content contributions: 1517 listed articles, 925 edited articles, 181 new articles created, 239 registered editors, and more than 4.1 million bytes added.[2]
