Moroccan Documentation Program

The Moroccan Documentation Program is a Wikimedia Morocco initiative conducted from 20 November to 20 December 2025. Its primary goal was to enrich free knowledge about Morocco on Wikimedia projects by addressing the significant lack of visual documentation for rural areas, historical landmarks, and cultural heritage on Wikipedia.

The program encouraged contributors to integrate freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons into relevant Wikipedia articles and simultaneously improve the overall quality of the content. Key objectives included bridging the digital content gap between urban centers and underrepresented rural or mountainous regions, promoting Moroccan tangible and intangible heritage, supporting rural and mountain tourism, enhancing article quality through relevant images, and encouraging documentation best practices.

Over the one-month timeframe, the program saw participation from over 7 contributors. Their efforts resulted in the improvement of more than 30 existing articles, the creation of over 5 new articles, and the addition of over 50 images to articles, all sourced from freely licensed content on Wikimedia Commons. These achievements significantly enhanced the visual and informational quality of Moroccan-related content on Wikipedia and increased the visibility of previously underrepresented regions.

Challenges encountered included the limited availability of high-quality images for specific regions, uneven contributor participation across different topics, and time constraints faced by participants during the campaign period.

Key lessons learned from this initiative emphasize that visual documentation greatly improves article quality and the reader experience. It also highlighted that structured campaigns are effective in motivating contributors and improving coordination, and that there is a continuous need for strategic partnerships to expand image availability.

Future recommendations stemming from this program suggest organizing similar campaigns regularly, encouraging local photography initiatives to further enrich Wikimedia Commons, strengthening outreach efforts to contributors from underrepresented regions, and combining documentation campaigns with edit-a-thons and training sessions for greater impact.

The program was successfully coordinated by رشيدة رقي, DERDAKI ILIAS, and نجية بنت محمد.

Moroccan Cities and Monuments Identification Campaign"

The "Moroccan Cities and Monuments Identification Campign" was a volunteer initiative by Wikimedia Morocco, active from 24 December 2025, to 24 January 2026. Launched in conjunction with Morocco hosting the Africa Cup of Nations, its core objective was to develop and enhance Arabic Wikipedia content related to Moroccan cities, historical sites, architectural monuments, and cultural and natural heritage. This aimed to showcase Morocco's tourism and cultural assets and bolster its digital presence. The campaign specifically sought to create new articles on tourist cities and landmarks, and improve existing ones through better documentation, images, internal links, categories, and references.

Participation was open to all Wikipedia users, with an emphasis on adhering to core policies like copyright, encyclopedic style, and reliance on reliable sources. Articles had to be reserved before work commenced. Out of 117 suggested articles covering diverse topics from sports stadiums and major cities to historical sites and cultural elements, 8 articles were completed and 5 were in progress, demonstrating active engagement in approximately 11% of the topics. A total of 6 unique users actively contributed to reserving and working on these articles. The campaign was organized by رشيدة رقي and راشراش.

Challenges and Key Learnings

Challenges

Limited Completion Rate: A significant challenge was the relatively low completion rate (8 articles completed out of 117 suggested), indicating difficulties in mobilizing a large number of contributions within the one-month timeframe.
Editor Engagement: While 6 users actively participated, sustaining broader and deeper engagement across the extensive list of suggested articles proved challenging.
Resource Intensiveness: Documenting a wide array of cities and monuments, particularly for new articles, demands considerable research, sourcing, and content creation effort per editor.

Key Learnings

Themed Campaigns Drive Focus: Organizing the campaign around Moroccan cities and monuments provided a clear, patriotic theme that resonated with some editors and aimed to address a specific content gap.
Potential for Cultural Promotion: The initiative highlighted the potential of Wikimedia projects to promote national tourism and cultural heritage, especially when linked to major events like the Africa Cup of Nations.
Importance of Clear Guidelines: The emphasis on Wikipedia policies for participation underscores the commitment to content quality and reliability.
Need for Broader Outreach and Longer Duration: The outcome suggests that for comprehensive coverage of such a vast topic, future campaigns might benefit from a longer duration, more intensive outreach to a larger pool of editors, or more structured support mechanisms to boost completion rates.

The campaign successfully initiated efforts to enrich Arabic Wikipedia's content on Morocco's rich urban, historical, and cultural landscape, aligning with efforts to boost the country's digital presence and highlight its heritage, despite facing challenges in broad content completion.

Workshop at Amazigh New Year 2976 Celebration

As an integral part of the broader Amazigh New Year 2976 celebration, themed "Yennayer: Identity, Creativity, and Education," a specialized workshop focusing on "Enhancing the Presence of the Amazigh Language in the Digital Space" was successfully organized. This workshop, held on 8 January 2026, from 14:00 to 17:00 UTC+1, aimed to directly contribute to the national drive for promoting Amazigh language and culture, particularly within Wikimedia projects such as Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

Workshop Details

The workshop was a key component of the multi-day celebration hosted by the Higher School of Education and Training in Berrechid, in partnership with the Amazigh Culture Club. It was facilitated by Essaidib2 in coordination with school professors Faisal Moutaqui and Mohamed Lmouaine. The session targeted university students, with 32 students actively participating. It provided practical training designed to empower these students to contribute to digital platforms, with a specific emphasis on the Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

Objectives of the Workshop

The primary objectives of this particular workshop were to:

Strengthen the presence of the Amazigh language in the digital realm.
Equip participants with the necessary skills to contribute content to Wikimedia projects, especially those dedicated to the Amazigh language.
Foster a new generation of digital contributors for Amazigh knowledge.

Outcomes and Participation

The workshop saw a positive outcome in terms of initial engagement and account creation. Out of the 32 student attendees, 13 successfully created their own Wikimedia accounts. This is a crucial first step towards active participation and direct contribution to Amazigh language content on Wikipedia and Wiktionary. The session aimed to provide the foundational understanding and practical skills required for these new contributors to begin editing and expanding Amazigh free knowledge online.

Challenges and Key Learnings

Challenges

Account Creation Limitation: A significant challenge faced during the workshop was a Wikimedia API limitation that restricts account creation to only 6 per IP address. This technical constraint directly hindered many participants from creating their accounts during the session, despite high interest.
Technical Onboarding: Guiding participants through the initial technical steps of account creation and interface navigation, especially for those new to Wikimedia platforms, proved complex within the limited 3-hour timeframe, exacerbated by the API restriction.
Sustained Engagement: A common challenge after introductory workshops is ensuring that newly created accounts translate into sustained, active contributions.

Key Learnings

Direct Engagement is Effective: Organizing hands-on workshops within a celebratory cultural context, like the Amazigh New Year, effectively attracts participants interested in contributing to their mother tongue online.
Building a Contributor Base: The creation of 13 new accounts directly contributes to expanding the community of editors for Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia and Wiktionary, which is vital for the growth of emerging language projects.
Facilitator Role is Critical: The role of facilitators like Essaidib2 and the coordination with school professors Faisal Moutaqui and Mohamed Lmouaine is essential in guiding new users through technical processes and fostering their initial contributions.
Platform Limitations Awareness: The experience highlighted the critical importance of understanding and anticipating Wikimedia platform-specific technical limitations, such as IP Address restrictions on account creation, for planning and executing future workshops effectively.

This workshop successfully introduced a new cohort of students to Wikimedia projects and empowered them with the initial steps to contribute to the digital preservation and promotion of the Amazigh language, while also providing valuable insights into planning considerations for future events.
