- Members engagement:
- In our strategic plan 2014-2018 we have a quality metric that we are documenting since 2014: Involving 50% of Amical members in at least one activity every year. In 2017. Result: Done
- In order to keep being a representative organization for the Catalan community of Wikimedians, we also look forward to maintain or event increase the percentage (more than 40%) of highly active Catalan Wikipedia users bearing Amical membership, to keep a strong link between the Association and the community of editors. Result: Done
- % of Repetition: In our point of view, repetition of program, projects, editathons, workshops or events is a measure of success. If a high percentage of our projects are repetitive, it means our parnters are happy with us and our projects are successful through the years. By the way, we don't want to reach 100% of repepetition, because we also leave the door open to innovation and new partners, and also to failure every once in a while. A 50%-60% would be a desired goal for us. Example: If we do an eduwiki activity during 6 semesters with same teacher, it means that the activity is working, it is a succes and taking advantage of its own learning curves, needing progressively less efforts done by Amical each semester.
- Result: Done
Telling your program stories - all programs
editPlease tell the story of each of your programs included in your proposal. This is your chance to tell your story by using any additional metrics(beyond global metrics) that are relevant to your context, beyond the global metrics above. You should be reporting against the targets you set at the beginning of the year throughout the year. We have provided a template here below for you to report against your targets, but you are welcome to include this information in another way. Also, if you decided not to do a program that was included in your proposal or added a program not in the proposal, please explain this change. More resources for storytelling are at the end of this form. Here are some ways to tell your story.
- We encourage you to share your successes and failures and what you are learning. Please also share why are these successes, failures, or learnings are important in your context. Reference learning patterns or other documentation.
- Make clear connections between your offline activities and online results, as applicable. For example, explain how your education program activities is leading to quality content on Wikipedia.
- We encourage you to tell your story in different ways by using videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, e.g.), compelling quotes, and by linking directly to work you produce. You may highlight outcomes, learning, or metrics this way.
- We encourage you to continue using dashboards, progress bars, and scorecards that you have used to illustrate your progress in the past, and to report consistently over time.
- You are welcome to use the table below to report on any metrics or measures relevant to your program. These may or may not include the global metrics you put in the overview section above. You can also share your progress in another way if you do not find a table like this useful.

Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q4) | Projected (end of year) | Comments | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Goal 1: Organizing first ever international event, fully organised by volunteers (explained further in this report) |
|
100% | ✅ Hackathon 2018 | |||
Goal 2: Organising Viquitrobada 2018, Catalan Wikimedians AGM | 2017 edition |
|
November 2018 | We celebrated our AGM 2018 edition. Is not Amical's AGM but community's AGM. | ||
Goal 3: 4 internal formative seminars to empower our members | 2017 APG impact report |
|
50% | ✅ We found crucial to renew the knowledge of those members that give seminars, workshops and conferences. It was a new, quite successful activity among our members that improved their skills and self-confidence inside Amical. | ||
Goal 4: Microgrants | N/A |
|
N/A | We have documentation and have offered few microgrants throught the year. Even if it seems that is a model not much used by our community, we are committed to provide this option to keep engaging them. | ||
Goal 5: Volunteer driven & follow up. Writing challenges. | Monthly Reports |
|
100% | ✅ Monthly ReportsWe've been following all volunteer proposals so far (e.g: Pescar (explained further in this report)). |

Official agreement with the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for educational purposes
Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q4) | Projected (end of year) | Comments | ||||

Goal 1: Linking our WMHACK project with the educational sector. | N/A |
|

✅ | ||||
Goal 2: Improving our documentation for better spreading eduwiki projects (renewing portal, creating a how to video). | Educational Page |

❌ The increase of the demand in university wikiprojects during the autumn semester and the management for official agreements determined the efforts set in this goal. | ||||
Goal 3: Increasing our presence in secondary high schools. | 2017 Impact report |
|
|
This year there has been a significant increase of participation regarding the secondary high schools and non-university educational levels. Even without reaching the entire objective, we keep laying solid foundations to keep working in this direction. |

Wiki Loves Falles. One of our key projects on multimedia content
Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q2) | Projected (end of year) | Comments | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Goal 1: Increase community participation and motivation. | 2017 Impact Report |
|
|
Still challenging. The results have been positive when it comes to onwiki participation in contests and wikiprojects, and also for our partners (libraries, museums and other organisations). But most of Amical's community has adopted a passive role if we take the whole year engagement as a reference. | ||||
Goal 2: Increase the amount of free licensed cultural content | N/A |
|
|
✅ Scheduling more diverse projects have helped us to upload a new range of multimedia content for the Wikimedia projects, especially relating to geographical, gender, and cultural diversity. We agreed with different institutions the release of their content under CC-BY-SA licenses. |

999 bios of women appearing at The Dinner Party feminist artwork
Targeta | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q4) | End of year (projected or actual) | Comments | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kitsch culture writing challenge | N/A |
|
40% | This challenge, the goal of which was expanding the content about this topic during seven days, had four participants, who together created and edited 21 articles. | ||
999 biographies of women | N/A |
|
100% | ✅ The goal of this challenge was adding and editing biographies about 999 women for a month, ending the night before Women's Day. There were 25 participants and the list of biographies was fulfilled. | ||
Colonialism writing challenge | N/A |
|
50%? (see comments) | The goal of this challenge was editing content about colonialism during 10 days. There were 6 participants who edited 27 articles out of a list of 53 articles. However, no numeric metrics were gathered about how much content was added exactly, hence the question marks next to the percentage. | ||
PESCAR wikiproject (2nd edition) | 2017 project |
|
41% compared to last year's number of bytes modified | This year, the project, which was centered around the Mediterranean area, had 23 participants who made over 3,000 edits in almost 300 different articles. | ||
18 centenaries challenge (Wikiquote) | N/A |
|
72% of articles in the list (including "extra articles") | The goal of this challenge was to create and improve pages about 18 people who celebrated their centenary (or bi-centenary). There were three participants, excluding the jury formed by two local sysops. | ||
National Museum of Rio de Janeiro Wikiproject | N/A |
|
66% of articles in the list | This was an "emergency wikiproject" organized after the fires in the National Museum. Eight people participated editing 16 articles. Even though we didn't meet the goal, it can still be considered a (mild) success, since it was created without any kind of previous organization. | ||
5th Night of the Language in the Digital World | Last year's event |
|
100%? (see comments) | ✅ This year's topics were related to Pompeu Fabra, and there were edits in 11 different languages (including Catalan, Spanish and English), and participants edited from four different places simultaneously, as well as remotely. The same partners of last year's event helped this time too. Specific content metrics were not gathered, but the participation (184 people, including remote participants) was a success compared to last year. | ||
Asian Month | Last year's project page |
|
88% (compared to 2017 number of articles) | ✅ This is a global event, but Amical supported it by organizing and promoting it in the local Catalan-speaking community. This year, 16 users participated in 165 articles | ||
Saint Lucy Night Wikiproject | N/A |
|
20% of articles in the list | The goal of this project was creating biographies about contemporary Catalan writers. There were seven participants who edited 44 articles in different languages (Catalan, Spanish and French) | ||
"Gran Quinzena Anual de la Qualitat" | Last year's event |
|
5% (compared to 2017 results) | Compared to last year's event, QQ18 can't be considered a success. There were over 20,000 revisions in 2017, while this year's edition didn't get to 2,000. |

Wikidata Open Data editathon at CCCB
Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q4) | End of year (projected or actual) | Comments | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Goal 1: Increase the number of tech events | There was only one event during Perl & Friends annual meeting (organised as warm-up event for Hackathon as well). |
|
|
✅ We had one event during Barcelona Python meetup and some other specialized ones as Wikimedia Pre-Hackathon events. | ||||
Goal 2: Creating an stable community of developers in Catalan Areas | No technical community meeting previous year |
|
|
We had one specific prehacktahon event for community members. Technical organization and community engagement was improved, but further engagement after Hackathon might have been beneficial and it was not done in the end. |

Resources
editResources to plan for measurement
edit- Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
- Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
- Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
