Home How to Use FAQ

Registrazione di eventi è il primo strumento della Centrale eventi. La Centrale eventi will be a platform for organizing and managing [$3 campaign events], along with other event types, on the wikis. On this platform, organizers can access tools to create content campaigns, and participants can find the support they need to engage with events in the Wikimedia movement. The Event Center will simplify workflows and encourage more campaign organizing activity to happen on the wikis.

The Event Registration tool is available on wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled. With this feature, organizers can enable registration on their event pages. Once registration is enabled, participants can register for the event by clicking the “Register” button. Then, the organizers will be able to collect a list of registered event participants, along with optional data on participant demographics. Other features includeː optional private registration, mass emails to participants, integration with the Programs & Events Dashboard, and automated event promotion through the Event List.

Why use the Event Registration Tool?

The event registration tool is the first on-wiki solution for event registration. With this tool, event participants can click on a "Register" button to sign up for events, rather than needing to add their signature to an event page (which is confusing to newcomers) or using third-party registration solutions that are off the wikis. Meanwhile, event organizers can bring more of their organizing activity on the wikis, and they can benefit from a growing list of features that support event organizers over time.

The key benefits of the tool include:

  • Easier to use for organizers: Organizers can easily enable registration on their event pages, and they can easily manage a participant list.
  • Easier to use for participants: Participants can easily register for events on-wiki, with no understanding of editing or signatures required.
  • Greater data privacy for participants: Participants will not need to worry about how their data is managed, tracked, or stored by third-party registration solutions, since the event registration tool will be a part of the Wikimedia ecosystem and its privacy standards. Furthermore, there is an optional private registration feature, so that participants can only show their usernames to organizers, if they wish. It is also optional for participants to answer demographics questions about themselves.
  • Improved communication support: Organizers can easily send emails to registered participants, and a confirmation email is sent to participants after registering for the event.
  • Integration with wiki workflows and practices: Event pages and event registration can be integrated into wiki workflows, so users can watch and manage event pages.
  • Integration with the Programs & Events Dashboard: The event registration tool has integration with the Programs & Events Dashboard, so that all public registrants can have their usernames automatically pushed to the relevant event on the Programs & Events Dashboard. This can save time for event organizers and participants, since they will not need to manually add usernames to the Dashboard.
  • More data on campaign and event activity as a movement: Right now, many event organizers turn to third-party solutions to do things like create event pages, register participants, and other tasks. This means that we miss out on a lot of crucial data, analysis, and understanding related to movement events, in particular as related to their impact and outcomes. If we make it easier for organizers to create and manage events on the wikis, we can expect to see more transparency and cohesion around event activity on the wikis.
