2024/Editing Challenge

{{2024/header/en|2}}

WikiConference North America is all about celebrating the success of different projects and missions within North America. We invite everyone participating in WikiConference North America (whether in-person or as virtual attendee) to the WikiConference North America Editing Challenge!

During WikiConference North America 2024 (3-6 October 2024), we invite you to fill different editing challenges. And everyone who fills X out of Y tasks will receive a special and unique Wikimania barnstar. You don't have to be registered to WikiConference North America to participate.

The tasks invite you to explore different (maybe sometimes new to you?) ways to contribute to Wikimedia projects. And they are related to 2024 Wikimania theme: Crossroads. Some of them aim to focus on improving contents in Indiana and support diversity, others – invite you to collaborate with others, and some - to support our future readers.

Rules

• The challenge takes place 0:00 AM 3 October UTC until 1:00 PM 6 October UTC
• The challenge is open to every editor, not only to WikiConference North America participants
• During that time participants can work on the tasks from the list below; you can do the tasks in any language version of the respective Wikimedia projects
• To participate you need to sign up in the results table and report your edits there
• Each participant is responsible for tracking and updating their own progress
• At the end of the challenge period, we will check your results and award you with a nice and shiny digital barnstar! Top in-person contributors may receive physical prizes (pending budget).
  • Tie-breakers for physical prizes will be determined by (in descending order): total number of tasks performed, volume of contribution (measured in bytes)
