Wikimedia Australia

Wikimedia Australia is the Australian chapter of the international Wikimedia Foundation. We support people and organisations to contribute to Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia platforms through events, training and partnerships.

1Lib1Ref is a campaign by librarians around the world to add a missing references to articles on Wikipedia. In May 2022, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are joining forces to offer librarians across our region online support to add their reference. Get involved!
