- Wikisource training
There was a miscalculation of the budget to organize Wikisource training sessions, in which budgets for training was not included in the budget line. This mistake led to Wikisource training was not held until April 30, 2018, where there were seven WikiLatih sessions were held in April and become the bustling month of the WikiLatih project.
After reconsideration, the budget for carrying out Wikisource training will be subsidized from WikiLatih's budget, considering that the concept of Wikipedia and Wikisource training is the same.
