Hello everyone,
Thank you all for signing up for the bot workshops! :)
The first workshop on the topic of “Pywikibot framework introduction &
installation” is coming up - it will take place on *Friday, February 25th
at 16:00 UTC*.
You can find more details on the workshop and a link to join here <

We will record this workshop and update the workshops page with the link
later. Also, a quick note on the certificate distribution we shared briefly
in the previous email - out of the eight planned workshops, individuals who
will complete five and a final assignment will receive a digital
certificate.
We look forward to your participation!
Cheers,
Srishti

Hi all,
TLDR; Want to learn new technical skills to help improve your wiki? Sign
up for workshops on scripts and bot development, organized by the small
wiki toolkits initiative: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops> [1].
Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to build technical capacity in
smaller language wikis by developing toolkits, conducting workshops, and
providing technical support <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits> [2]. The first set
of workshops for 2022 will teach individuals how to automate work in their
wiki community by developing, maintaining, and hosting bots. These
trainings build upon the lessons learned from two regional initiatives in
2021: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Past_events>

To sign up for a workshop, add your signature under a specific workshop

team will share more details on mailing lists and on your talk page closer
to the date of the workshop.
The SWT Organizing Team is also exploring issuing digital certificates and
badges to attendees of these workshops. More information on that will be
available in the coming weeks.
We look forward to your participation!
