Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged their gift to help celebrate Wikipedia's birthday, we are so excited about the pledges we have received so far!
We are keeping the birthday pledge form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5u56XyaioufIeixswQ9tIlr-ijDdz-dh8sa_w6L2X1kZLhQ/viewform open to give you the opportunity to pledge your gift, if you haven't already done so and would like to. The gift can be *given* at any point in 2026.
Here are 6 simple but impactful ways you can contribute
- *Write a new article* or improve an existing one - *Help make Wikipedia articles more discoverable by adding images * - *Build a worklist and find reliable sources *on a particular subject which is currently underrepresented on Wikipedia that can be used at future Wiki events. - *Welcome and support *new editors - If are multilingual, *support minoritised languages *by translating articles - *Organise an edit-a-thon*
*Click here https://wikimedia.org.uk/community-birthday-gifts/ for more ideas and further details. *This list is by no means exhaustive! We would love to hear from you if you have any other ideas!
