Wikidata Items Wanting Photos

Background

edit

Annually, the Wikimedia movement presents several Wiki Loves events to improve the quality of content on Wikipedia with meaningful images. In line with the above, significant success has been achieved on Wikipedia through the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photo.

  2. In-person- 12th January 2022 ( TBD)
