Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub
Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub (LDH) adalah sebuah hub Wikimedia yang diusulkan untuk afiliasi dan relawan yang sedang mengerjakan versi bahasa baru Wikipedia atau proyek Wikimedia lainnya. Biasanya mencakup komunitas bahasa pribumi, minoritas, terpinggirkan, dan kurang sumber daya. Hub ini merupakan perluasan dan kelanjutan dari inisiatif Wikimedia Language Diversity, dan diusulkan sebagai hasil dari Rekomendasi Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia 2030.
Visi dan Misi
Visi Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub adalah untuk menciptakan dunia di mana setiap komunitas bahasa dapat berkontribusi dan berkembang di dalam ekosistem Wikimedia, mendorong inklusi, keragaman linguistik, dan akses yang adil ke pengetahuan.
Misi kami bertujuan untuk memberdayakan dan mendukung komunitas minoritas, pribumi, masyarakat yang kurang dilayani, dan masyarakat yang kurang memiliki sumber daya dengan menyediakan keahlian teknis, sumber daya, dan advokasi, memastikan suara mereka didengar dan pengetahuan dibagi dalam istilah mereka sendiri untuk ekosistem Wikimedia yang lebih inklusif dan multilingual.

Bimbingan
The Hub is currently providing tailored, year-long mentorship to 13 language communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America. This cohort represents diverse stages of growth, from early incubator reactivation to post-graduation strategic development. Mentorship focuses on overcoming specific technical, organizational, and outreach barriers to sustainable growth.
