Home Tasks Join in! Frequently Asked Questions


Wikimania is a great celebration of our movement and mission. And what is the more natural way to celebrate for Wikimedians than through contributions and barnstars? This is why we invite everyone participating in Wikimania to the Wikimania Editing Challenge!

During Wikimania (15–19 August 2023) we invite you to fill different editing challenges. And everyone who fills 8 out of 16 tasks will receive a special and unique Wikimania barnstar. You don't have to be registered to Wikimania to participate.

The tasks invite you to explore different (maybe sometimes new to you?) ways to contribute to Wikimedia projects. And they are related to 2023 Wikimania theme: some of them aim to support diversity, others – invite you to collaborate with others, and some - to support our future readers.
