Strategy Wiki Movimento Brasil 2023-2025
WMB dedicated the year of 2022 to the process of developing a new strategy to be implemented in-between 2023 and 2025. With the participation of more than 60 people, the final document was approved by the General Assembly of WMB and published on our pages. This document[1] redefines WMB's organizational identity and establishes the direction of its actions, taking into account the local contexts and aligning the changes in the global Wikimedia Movement.
On March 7th we published the methodology of our strategic process.[2] This document provides a comprehensive explanation of the process and it is intended to serve as a helpful tool for other affiliates and organizations to create their own strategy. Documenting the process not only adds meaning to the final document but also promotes transparency and effective communication. Moreover, it can be translated into other languages, expanding its outreach.
One week later, on March 14th, we officially launched the Strategy Wiki Movimento Brasil 2023-2025 for the broader audience.[3] The presentation provided context to the document elaboration process and set expectations for its implementation. The exchange of ideas between the people who participated in the strategic process was facilitated by the audiovisual format of the event and made it more relatable to the audience.
Before the public announcement of the new strategy, still in February, we conducted the first meeting of the newly established Strategy Committee, in which were defined the next steps for the establishment of the subcommittees for each strategic axis, such as the call for members and the committee's roles and responsibilities.[4]

Second quarter report (Apr-Jun)
Wikicontest Wiki Loves Pará
From April 13 until July 11, Wiki Movimento Brasil promoted the Wikicontest Wiki Loves Pará, one of the many activities that we are promoting in 2023 to insert and give more visibility to the environmental, cultural and social diversity of the second largest state in Brazil: Pará. In the pages of the contest, we listed more or less 1400 articles about Pará's personalities, fauna and flora, historical cultural heritage, linguistic diversity and other topics related to the state. We promoted several events regarding this wikicontest[17][18][19][20][21] and have consistently reporting to the community and through our social media.[22][23][24][25]
At this time, these are the numbers:
- More than 500 editors registered;
- +200 articles created in Wikipedia;
- +630 articles edited in Wikipedia;
- 2.68 million characters added;
- More than 658 thousand article views.

Third quarter report (Jul-Sep)
Wiki Takes
Since 2019, we have been promoting an event called Wiki Takes a city, in which we promote several wiki activities in a chosen municipality in Brazil during a couple of days. We have adopted the practice that the primary basis for defining a municipality for a Wiki Takes is the GLAM-Wiki partnership. We also try to select municipalities in the state we are working in that year in the project Wiki Loves a State. For the year of 2023, that state is Pará. In Pará, the GLAM partnerships took some time to materialize. Fortunately, we managed to activate a network of partners in Bragança, encompassing GLAM and Education, which resulted in a larger audience than expected. Although there were challenges in converting participants into editors, one highlight of the event was the documentation of oral histories and drone footage in a nearby extractive reserve adjacent to Bragança.
Organizing a Wiki Takes event involves many steps[38] and preparation. In-person events play a crucial role in building trust among partners and engage the community, but can also raise several challenges, from which the limited time management to realize and delve into the activities is one of the major ones. Other examples can be exemplified by lack of computers or internet, or even agenda conflicts with other cultural activities happening at the same time.
We organized two Wiki Takes events in Pará in August: Wiki Takes Bragança and Wiki Takes Cachoeira do Ariri. The first one, in the city of Bragança, had 50 participants, with 8 editors. Only 2 articles were edited during the edit-a-thon, but 627 photographs were uploaded as a result of the photowalk. The second event, in Cachoeira do Ariri, was way smaller, with only 6 participants, that uploaded 90 photographs.[39][40]

Fourth quarter report (Oct-Dec)
Wikicontest Brazilian Women in Sport
The Wikicontest Brazilian Women in Sport was an initiative that brought together the Football Museum and the UN Women to improve the coverage of content about women in sport in a two month campaign, between October 2 and November 30.[64]
At first, the idea of the Football Museum was to promote an edit-a-thon, but later on the proposal became to do an impactful campaign. One strong point of the contest was in communications. There were three workshops about Wikipedia editing, research in hemerotecas (journal archives), and about the gender in sport to give participants more of the context of the theme of the contest.
Furthermore, the Football Museum used resources to deliver kits for players to publicize the contest on social media, something unprecedented for the WMB communications. It also constantly contributed to our Communications team to ensure consistency in publications throughout the competition, with content that ranged from data about the competition itself to gender disparity in sport on Wikipedia. An assistant was also hired to conduct evaluations and monitor the competition, which also ensured consistency and agility in the conduct of the competition.
Once again, wikicontests prove to be community engagement activities that result in content. We had the following results in this competition:[64]
- 240 editors;
- 1077 articles edited or created in Wikipedia;
- 720 thousand views;
- 3.82 million characters added.
