Edit-a-thons

Looking to hold an edit-a-thon? It can be complex!

An edit-a-thon can take many forms, but essentially it's when groups of new or experienced editors get together to learn how to edit Wikipedia together, either face to face or online. Sometimes these events are based around a theme (like increasing the number of articles about women on Wikipedia) or a target (10 new Wikipedia pages).

If you're thinking of holding an edit-a-thon, here's some things to get you started!

  • Before running an edit-a-thon, make sure you've undertaken some basic online training yourself and have done at least a little bit of editing. We recommend two modules to get you started:
  • Edit-a-thon Checklist (PDF or editable version)
  • Printable Wikipedia editing guide for attendees (PDF)
  • Edit-a-thon runsheet template (for face-to-face or online)
  • Editable suggested content spreadsheet to prepare what participant work on
  • Create a Dashboard to automatically collect data on what participants did at your event.

Wikimedia Australia can help! We have a network of facilitators to help at edit-a-thons! We also can help promote your event. Email us at: contact@wikimedia.org.au
