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 is an event where groups of new or experienced people 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 main modules to get you started:
- Edit-a-thon Checklist (PDF)
- Printable Wikipedia editing guide for attendees (PDF)
- Edit-a-thon runsheet template for face-to-face or online - Please duplicate and rename the document before editing it.
- Editable suggested content spreadsheet to prepare what participants work on. The more preparation, the better! Please duplicate and rename the document before editing it.
- Create a Dashboard to automatically collect data on what participants did at your event. Training on how to use the Dashboard is available here.
Get in touch! Wikimedia Australia is here to help. We have a network of experienced facilitators to offer training and support at edit-a-thons. We can also help promote your event. Email us at: contact@wikimedia.org.au
