Tusaidie kupata Miradi ya Wiki au nafasi nyingine za ushirikiano mtandaoni!

Kama sehemu ya kazi ya 2024 kuhusu Mipango ya Kampeni na Bidhaa katika Wakfu wa Wikimedia, tungependa kupata maelezo zaidi kuhusu jinsi unavyotumia nafasi za ushirikiano kwenye miradi ya Wikimedia kama vile WikiProjects. Tunataka kuhakikisha kuwa vipengele vya programu kwenye wiki vinarahisisha ushirikiano kati ya wahariri wenye uzoefu wa Wikipedia, kwa njia sawa na Matukio na Kampeni kusaidia kuleta wageni na wataalamu kutoka nje kwenye miradi ya wiki.

We need your help to better understand WikiProjects or similar online collaboration spaces and why they work (or don't work) for some Wikimedia communities (See the “Definition” section). This way, we can learn how we can potentially help or improve the experiences that exist today, so it's easier for more people to take part in WikiProjects or other forms of on-wiki collaboration.

Not all WikiProjects work (see the Existing documentation section) and not all wikis need a collaboration structure like a WikiProject (smaller wikis allow better collaboration since there are few collaborators), but for most of the larger wikis something like a WikiProject exists (there are at least 4000 individual WikiProject-like spaces on the wikis). We want to learn what makes them work, and how they help you create collaborations on-wiki!

We need your help! 

Please respond to any of these options in your preferred language! The English language questions can be found here, to translate the questions to your local language create a subpage of Campaigns/WikiProjects/Preload/ with your language code.


Definition: What do we mean by WikiProject or other Collaborative editing initatives?

Not all wikis have WikiProjects, and the word “WikiProject” is applied to different kinds of efforts in the Wikimedia movement. Other concepts describing collaborative editing intiatives include topical neighborhoods, topical collaboration, task forces and sometimes simply “project”. We want to hear about all of these! If you are in doubt, complete this short form. But if it helps, here is a simple definition of scope:

We are hoping to learn more about:

  • Persistent collaborations with no clear, predetermined end date (though collaboration might stop)
  • With an on wiki home-page or portal that acts as a community space
  • Intended to help participants collaborate better to do something in the Wikimedia community as a community with shared goals (i.e. creating content on a specific topic or managing a workflow, etc)

We are not looking for examples of :

  • Activities with clear endings where participation is expected to stop (i.e. writing contests or events)
  • GLAM or Education projects that have a tightly agreed upon scope with a partner institution or a collaborator.
  • Formal organizations like Affiliates, student groups or other “clubs” or meetup groups

Learn about other documentation

Open this collapse box to learn more about other documentation we have reviewed!

Most of the widely available and documented evidence of WikiProjects working really well come from case studies largely from English Wikipedia and a limited number of examples from other larger Wikis such as French Wikipedia, or Wikidata (i.e. Government Agencies or Brazilian Law). This evidence falls into three buckets:

We are also reviewing the documentation of WikiProjects in the following places:

We have also used this query of Wikidata to explore WikiProjects on different languages and this query to see how many exist per language Wikipedia, and you can explore each wiki with this query, used on Vietnamese Wikipedia).

Tunakubali kwamba katika hali yao ya sasa WikiProjects nyingi zinaweza kuonekana zimelala au hazifanyi kazi kwa sababu fulani. Matumaini yetu ni kutambua kile kinachofanya kazi kuhusu zile ambazo watu wanajishughulisha nazo zaidi, ili kutambua ni aina gani za mifumo inayosaidia watu kushirikiana.
