Community support
The following activities were held to support and strengthen the engagement of the Wikimedia community in Australia; to increase the diversity of participants participating in online and face to face activities, in terms of gender, region, language, and topics/sectors of interest; and to build community capacity, including engagement in the global movement.
WikiClubs
WikiClubs are informal groups that meet locally based on shared geographic and/or thematic interests. They are self-managed and responsible for their own initiatives. They are a key port of call for supporting Wikimedia Australia initiatives, and in turn, they see Wikimedia Australia as a source of connection to wider national and global projects.
Three state-based WikiClubs met during 2018-19, and several institutional or special interest communities. Each WikiClub welcomes locals or visitors interested in finding out more, getting help with editing or other projects.
