Dear all,
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Women team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Portal>, I’m excited to
share an important update!
Due to technical issues reported during the campaign period that prevented
some participants from accessing and contributing, we have decided to
extend the ISA Tell Us About Her 2026 – Women in Sports campaign
<https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447> until April 5th, 2026.
You now have 6 more days to add descriptions and take part in the campaign.
There are still 2 prizes to be awarded for the top 2 contributors, so the
race is still wide open. Everything can happen in 6 days… who knows?
Don’t miss this final chance to jump in!
Cheers,
Afek
Hello everyone,
There are only 6 days left until March 31st to participate in the ISA “Tell
Us About Her” 2026 campaign <https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447>,
under the theme “Women in Sport.”
Don’t forget to take part in the campaign by adding and improving image
descriptions!
The ISA Tool is a fun, mobile-friendly way to tag and describe images on
Wikimedia Commons. Each description or tag helps improve visibility and
searchability across Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Special gifts will be awarded to the top two contributors, so don’t miss
the chance to participate!
Cheers!

Wiki Mentor Africa (TMA) is launching a brand-new annual flagship event
designed specifically *for women and girls who want to develop technical
skills in the Wikimedia open-source ecosystem.*
The WMA Women Tech Summit offers *hands-on training in Documentation,
Design, and Coding — delivered concurrently in English and French* by
dedicated trainers.
* English-French: No interpretation delays, no barriers.
* Beginner-friendly and fully practical
* Built to bridge the gender gap in Wikimedia tech contribution
* Open to all women and girls — across every African country and beyond
This is an important step towards greater female representation in
Wikimedia’s technical spaces. If you know women and girls in your
community, affiliate, or user group who are curious about contributing
technically to Wikimedia projects — this is the summit for them.
