Introduction to editing sister projects

Type of session:

Workshop

Session theme(s):

Community Engagement

Abstract:

This workshop introduces the lesser-known sister projects and how to contribute to them. We will have volunteers on hand to help get you started and answer any questions.

Sister projects that will be presented in this workshop include: Wikivoyage (travel guide), Wikiversity (learning tool), Wikispecies (directory of species), Wikisource (free-content library) and others.

The workshop will start off with lightning introductions of these sister projects (max 2-3 mins each) and major "Dos and Don'ts" before breaking off into small groups to focus on editing a particular sister project. Everyone is welcome to drop-in at any point of this workshop.
