テーマ

このガイドはウィキマニア2026（Wikimania 2026）に提案して参加を希望する皆さんにあててまとめてあります。基本構想や選考基準ならびに参加手順を説明し、私たちの運動に忠実で豊かなプログラム構成を目指します。

今回の趣旨

ウィキマニアは全てそうであるように、今回もテーマを設けてあります：Liberté, Équité, Fiabilité（自由、公平、信頼性）。

このテーマは、2026年カンファレンスの骨子を形作ることから、いずれの提案においても基本原則として扱うものとします。ただのモットーに終わらず、無償の百科事典とそのエコシステムが政治とメディア関連の試練にさらされる今こそ、「知識、公平性、自由を守ること」について考える枠組み（フレームワーク）として把握されます。

今回の関心

• 観衆に適合させる：私たちは学術会議の一般的な階層構造からあえて逸脱します。発表は適切な形式を与えるほど、聴衆に届くよう願っています。皆さんには知識の共有こそ重要であると念頭に置き、ぜひプロジェクトにどんな形式が最適かよろしくご検討願います。聴衆は各セッションの質を平等に評価するとお約束します。
• Equity in participation: The Wikimedia movement is diverse and varied. We want this diversity to be represented, giving everyone an equal opportunity to participate. To ensure equity in the submission process, we have decided to launch the call for grants (scholarships) before the call for programs. This means that the results of the grants will be known before anyone has to submit their proposal, allowing everyone to plan their participation (in person or online) on an equal basis.
  • We will give equal consideration to the four languages of the conference (English, Arabic, French, and Spanish) when selecting presentations.
  • The intention to submit a presentation was not a determining factor in the scholarship committee's selection process. The reverse is also true: having been granted a scholarship is not a determining factor in being selected for the program.
  • We defined a limit of 3 submissions per person, which also limits to 3 participations per person. The idea is to increase the number of speakers, hence giving more equity in participation.
• Reliability and quality: We aim to create a quality program, where every person leaves satisfied. The confidence we have in the reliability of your proposals will allow us to build this program. This requires a high level of rigor in terms of content, but also support to help you build, prepare, and present your presentation.
• 共同で築く：ウィキマニアとは人が集まる場です。もっとも広範で公平な知識の共有を実現する上で、主催者は類似する提案を合併する権限を行使させていただきます。新しい発表を共同で築くことができるように尽力しており、まさにウィキプロジェクト群におけるのと同様の取り組みをします。

2026年テーマを掘り下げると

To help you anchor your proposal in the theme, here's how the organizers see it:

Value	Meaning and possible angles for your submissions (examples)
Freedom	Exploration of fundamental freedoms: universal participation, freedom of publishing, free licenses, pseudonymity, freedom of association and innovation. How does your work contribute to maintaining a healthy and open space?
Equity	Beyond equal opportunities, it is about providing fair means according to individual needs. How does your work ensure accessibility, correct bias, and guarantee a healthy and safe environment for truly universal knowledge?
Reliability	Highlighting the verifiability, factuality and neutrality. What is the role of sources? How can we ensure the sustainability and integrity of the movement in the face of attacks on the reliability of information?

選考基準

The selection committee will evaluate the proposals on the basis of the following points, in order of importance:

1. Link to the theme, relevance: The relationship to themes Freedom, Equity, Reliability is central. We remain open to proposals that are off-topic but perfectly relevant to the movement.
2. 運動に寄せる関心：ウィキ類、多言語、複製できること、あるいは他の人々の発想源となることに照らし、波及効果が広がるプロジェクトほど、選出される率が高まります。ウィキマニアの観衆にとって提案内容はどれほどの価値があるでしょうか？
3. Quality of intention: Your willingness to share knowledge. Like a wiki article, how flexible and open are you to your proposal evolving through collaboration? What is your expertise on the topic?
4. Innovation and originality: New content or formats are welcome to demonstrate that it is possible to innovate in the way knowledge is shared. Is this a unique and original session that helps us deepen or broaden our understanding of the subject? Is it an original presentation and not one that the speaker repeats at every conference? Is the way the content is presented original?
5. Reliability of information: We will pay particular attention to the solidity of the information that will be shared, as well as to the impact and the potential of replication of the project presented.
6. Suitability of content and format: The type of session proposed must serve the content.
   • Example: The results of a quantitative study are ideal for a poster.
   • Example: A concrete and replicable project will be perfect for a workshop.

Criteria for distinguishing two presentations with the same intention:

• Language and Francophonie– Presentations in French and those from or related to the French-speaking world could be given priority, in line with the location of the event.
• Solidity– Is the content coherent in its presentation, or is it disjointed? Is the proposal interesting and well-thought-out? Does the background information suggest that the speaker will deliver an effective presentation?

We know that people who have participated in the conference many times are more likely to have their proposals accepted. When proposals are of equal quality, people who have never presented at Wikimania will be given greater consideration for selection.

テーマ別トラック

The intention is to have fewer tracks to allow for better review by the evaluation teams. Some themes from previous editions are merged to reflect the trends in submissions from previous editions. They take into account new trends. All tracks are of equal importance.

	Proposed track	Definition	Notes & Ideas for Inclusion
1	Education and Advocacy	Talking about the movement to the outside world
2	GLAM and partnerships	Partnerships with institutions (cultural and heritage, or otherwise)
3	Technology	Everything that makes wikis work (Mediawiki, extensions, third-party services, gadgets and scripts, servers, design & UX/UI, etc.)
4	Artificial intelligence	Everything about AI	Can cover the impact on community dynamics, content reliability, new tools, etc.
5	Community	Diversity and inclusion, contributor/community engagement, community health
6	Research	Research dedicated to Wikimedia communities	This track is a space where researchers from across disciplines are invited to meet the extended Wikimedia community. The track has a dedicated call for submissions, but all are welcome to submit and participate regardless of background or affiliation.
7	Governance & Strategy	Everything about governance and strategy
8	Wild Ideas	Everything else, and the unexpected
9	New generations	Youth in age but also in contribution	To highlight initiatives that target the newest generations (for instance the CEE Youth Group, Vikidia, or Txikipedia), and also, all the initiatives around people who are starting out.

すでに決定したカンファレンス前催事に提案を加えたい場合は、当該のカンファレンス前催事の主催者と打ち合わせしてください。

Confirmed pre-conferences

オフ会、昼食会（60分）

Meetups and Lunches are themed gatherings organized by formal or informal groups within the Wikimedia movement. They are used to discuss specific topics. Lunches take place during lunchtime.

This year, meetups are fully integrated into the official Wikimania program.

Meetups will be themed by day, as much as possible:

• Day 1: Themed meetings (WLM, OSM, etc.)
• Day 2: Geographic and linguistic meetings
• Day 3: Other

Conditions (apply to both Meetups and Lunches):

• A meetup must be requested from the organizers , using the session submission process.
• A person attending Wikimania in person must be designated as the point of contact with the organizers.
• Meetups and lunches have a limited number of slots, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Please indicate in the submission form the number of potential attendees and the session type you prefer (lunch or meetup).
• Requesting a meetup or a lunch doesn't count in the 3 submissions per person limit.

その他の形式

It is possible to submit a presentation that don't fit the pre-defined ones above, using the "Other" format type in the submission form.

The default time allocation is 60 minutes, but a different time can be requested.

The organizers reserve the right to create or consider other types of formats, or to propose changes to certain formats.

よくある質問

What is the current timeline for submissions?

The submission form will remain open until March 1. The results will be published early May.

I'd like to submit a proposal for the hackathon. How can I do this?

The hackathon has its own program. Please contact the hackathon team.

I can't find the option to submit a talk. Is it normal?

This year, the organizing team has decided to devote more time to practical and interactive sessions; we prefer to focus on these rather than lectures. If you have completed a project that you would like to share, please submit it in the form of a poster (which will be displayed throughout the event) or a lightning talk.

Is it possible to submit a lecture? Can we have a lecture during a workshop or a panel?

This year, the intention is to have practical and hands-on sessions rather than traditional lectures. Short lectures are welcomed during workshops or panel sessions, as introductions, as long as they are not taking over the entire session. If you'd like to offer a panel, the "other" session type welcomes your proposal.

Which sessions types are limited by the 3 submission per person limit?

Posters, Lightning talks (including the specific formats for the Research track), Panels, Workshops and anything listed under "Other" in the submission form.

Pre-conferences, Meetups and Lunches are the only session types with no limitation. Some specific limitations apply to Workshops, as listed below.

• Being an official participant to a Panel count for one submission. Please list all panelists names in your submission.
• Being invited as a speaker counts for one submission, even if you haven't created the submission or participated to its setup.
• The host(s) of a workshop may ask people to come and help with the practical aspects, as experts. These helpers are not allowed to be "present on stage" or formally present anything. This helper role does not count towards the limit of 3, but hosting or presenting does.

I'd like to suggest a tour or a social activity. Should I use the submission form?

Please use the submission form to suggest tours that would help attendees to improve their skills. Using the submission form, we can centralize all suggestions. Have a look at the Tours and Side Events page.

For panels, how does the "same organization" limit works? Can I invite members of different cultural institutions from the same city?

We define roughly "same organization members" as "working, or actively volunteering, for the same organization". However, civil servants (public officials) are in a different situation and we consider them as being from a different organization as long as they work for different institutions. Two librarians from the same library are working for the same organization, even when working in different services. But two librarians working for two different libraries are not considered as from the same organization. If these libraries are in the same city, please prove that they cover different fields.

If my session is accepted, will I get a scholarship or a funding?

No. The scholarships have already been attributed. You need to self-fund your attendance (travel, hotel, entry fee, etc.).

When I use the submission form, I can't save my draft if I don't fill all mandatory fields. Can it be changed?

We invite you to fill the form with "to be completed" placeholders before saving as a draft. This way we'll know that your session is not ready yet. You can edit your session until the deadline, even if already submitted.

Regarding the question "Is it the first time you present on Wikimania?" Does that mean that one of the answers will be considered more positive than the other?

In the interest of fairness, we want to make it easier for people who have not yet presented anything for the main Wikimania program to attend. We will use this parameter to ensure a good balance between people with Wikimania experience, who are more likely to have their proposals accepted, and people who are attending for the first time.

Note: if you have already presented something at a Wikimania pre-conference, you can still check the “first time” box.

Can I choose my attendance (being remote or on site) and change it afterwards?

It would help us if you select the way you are more likely to attend. You have until the call for submission ends to provide a firm answer, by editing your proposal.

Is it possible submit your pre-recorded videos too, following the program guidelines for any hybrid set up? If yes, will that be through the same submission process?

Please submit your proposal. If selected, we will check with you on the format. No need to record something in advance!

If I choose a given format, could the organizers ask me to change it?

If the organizers request a change for the format I selected, is this decision final?

If I'm asked to merge my session with another one, is this decision final?

The Program Team may suggest a change in format. This suggestion is made in order to reflect and decide together on the best format for a presentation idea. The Program Team retains the final decision.

This also applies to presentation mergers.

Has the review committee been fully formed? Haven't seen the call for reviewers.

The review committee was formed during Spring 2025. The committee has 25 members from numerous communities and wikis, linked by the French language. They've been involved in the definition of this year's program as well.

Orientation sessions are offered to help you prepare your submission to the program. During these sessions, the theme, intent, and formats will be presented. We will also answer your questions.

All presentations will be recorded and made available on this page. The FAQ will be expanded with the questions asked during the sessions.

• French: Thursday, February 5th, 6pm to 7pm UTC - Recording
• English: Friday, February 6th, 6pm to 7pm UTC - Recording
• Spanish: Saturday, February 7th, 6pm to 7pm UTC - Recording
