Dear All
who knows the place where to find friendly wikipedians who are
template-wise?
For us at swwiki (and probably other smaller language versions too)
importing templates for infoboxes has become more and more challenging
as these have grown to be more and more complicated.
As we just started with a new batch of admins and look to consolidate
our newly won editors, we would be most happy to have a zoom session
with someone who can guide us thru the infobox template labyrinth.
Grateful for any advice
Ingo - Kipala from swwiki

Hi all,
I am happy to announce that I have been selected as EduWiki Outreach
Collaborator for Sub Saharan Africa. In this volunteer role I would be
collating stories around Education programs within the Sub-Saharan
Africa region.
Do you have stories around your various education outreaches you want
to share with the rest of the movement kindly reach out to me on
owulakpakpo{(a)}gmail.com.
I look forward to working with you all and share your stories.
Thanks
FYI official release below.
Dear Wikimedians,
Join me to welcome the EduWIki Outreach Collaborators[1], we are joined by
a group of Wikimedia volunteers from various parts of the world. This
group brings expertise in working with different communities,
projects, and together they will support education leaders and other
stakeholders in our movement with better networking and communication
practices for growth on Outreach Wikimedia and associated platforms.
While we received many applications for different roles, we are still
looking for female Wikimedians to join for the role of Outreach Wiki
Experts. The application for it is still open![2] You can find more
details about it on the Outreach Wiki page[3].
Best!

Hi everyone,
(Apologies for cross-posting.)
As part of the upcoming celebrations surrounding Wikipedia's 20th birthday,
the Wikimedia Foundation is publishing a short, optional survey that will
help us understand the needs of people who would like to host a celebration
event.
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4GyxYcdRSSM5M8J
The survey is expected to take three to five minutes to fill in and will
remain open until 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 30 September 2020. Before taking
the survey, please review the privacy statement policy [2].
We would also like to announce that the Foundation will be supporting
Wikipedia 20 anniversary celebration events through multiple grant programs:
- *Rapid Grants* [3] to support celebration events up to 2000 USD. More
information on them will be available next month.
- *Additional funding for Conference & Events grantees* (e.g. for a
regional or thematic conference) who wish to incorporate a celebration
event to an existing conference.
- *Conference & Event Grants* [4] to support celebration events for more
than 2000 USD.*
* Round one applications for conference & event grants is now open until *28
September 2020*.
On behalf of the Wikipedia 20 team,

Dear Community,
As you may already know, the Foundation has been developing a small team
focused on supporting and understanding content campaigns and contests (see
our page on Meta [1]). Campaigns and contests are an important part of the
movement’s organizing activities: inviting newcomers, creating content and
bringing energy to communities worldwide.
We are piloting monthly office hours to discuss how content campaigns have
been organized in the movement. The first office hour will be on September
23 2020 at 3:00 PM UTC <https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/99382142655>.[2]
The Campaigns Office hour is an opportunity to learn about how others have
organized content campaigns, new or emerging tools and tactics, and ask
questions about how campaigns have been implemented by other organizers.
The Office hour will be semi-structured, with community and WMF highlights
during the first half hour, and a Q&A period to learn more from the
speakers or from other organizers interested in content campaigns. This
month we will be highlighting:
-
What is the WMF Campaigns team? From the WMF Campaigns team
-
A Taxonomy of Knowledge Gaps [3] From WMF Research
-
What was learned from the WPWP Campaign? From the WPWP organizing team
Don’t miss our first edition of the campaign office hour: we want to learn
about your questions, experiences and new ideas for content campaigns in
your Wikimedia communities.
Looking forward to learning, discussing and sharing with you!
Best,
Felix and Alex
