WikiTungi
WikiTungi is a city based Wikipedia community formed to help the Wikipedians in the city to meet, share and learn. The term Tungi was coined from an ancient Odia culture of Bhagabata Tungi. The Odia community's WikiTungi is a based in two cities, Puri and Bhubaneswar. While Wikimedians in Puri conduct meetups bi-monthly, Bhubaneswar Wikimedians meet once a month. In every meetup, Wikimedians exchange their resources with each other, helping address their doubts and queries regarding their problems and projects.

A city based community group such as WikiTungi helps in collaborating with local Wikimedians, and also helps identify potential Wikimedians. Every month atleast 7 Wikimedians meet in Bhubaneswar and 10 Wikipedians in Puri meet bimonthly. Each WikiTungi has a different WhatsApp group which helps in following up the discussions after the meeting, Wikipedians also keep an on-wiki record about the discussion of the meeting.
