  • Wikimedia helped Sakizaya go through ISO-639-3 classification and then get a Wikipedia
  • Interestingly many Taiwanese languages Wikipedias start articles with Chinese page titles, fill in the content in the local language with keywords in Chinese in brackets, then move the page to the desired local language title - similar debate as Tai-gi and Cantonese
  • Plus after-discussions on Taiwanese languages and also follow-up discussion on Cantonese Wikipedia
• 2022:Submissions/Wikimedia Sound Logo Production Masterclass
• 2022:Submissions/10 years of Wikidata - how it all started and where it’s going
