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 2024 Editing Challenge!

During WikiConference North America 2024 (3-6 October 2024), we invite you to fill different editing challenges. And everyone who fills 7 out of 13 tasks will receive a special and unique WikiConference North America 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 WikiConference North America 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 EDT until 1:00 PM 6 October EDT
  • The challenge is open to every editor, not just 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 contributor will receive a special, unique physical prize!
    • Tie-breakers for the physical prize will be determined by (in descending order): total number of tasks performed, volume of contribution (measured in bytes)
