Wikipedia articles are kept reliable and up-to-date by thousands of volunteers across the world, but there’s always more to be done. Focusing on local histories, the workshop aims to improve coverage of mana whenua and sites of significance from across Pōneke | Wellington.
This three-hour session will introduce you to editing Wikipedia and Tō Tātou Pōneke local history collections at Te Matapihi.
The session is coordinated by Wellingtonian Lisa Maule, Vice President of Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand and supported by Tō Tātou Pōneke staff from Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui | Wellington Central Library and Te Kano Kohinga Kupu o Pōneke | Wellington City Archives.
Please bring a laptop or tablet and charger. Afternoon tea will be provided.
For beginners there are a few small things you can do in advance:
Please create a Wikipedia account prior to the workshop. You’ll need to create a username and password. We recommend a username that doesn’t include your real name, and is anonymous. While adding an email is optional, we recommend this as it’s very helpful if you forget your password.
Watching some short videos to introduce you to Wikipedia editing will help you get stuck right in on the day. Our friends at Wikimedia Australia have some great guidance – there’s even one to help you create your account: https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Training
This event is a collaboration between the Te Mataphi ki Te Ao Wellington Central Library, Wellington City Archives, Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand (WANZ) and Wellington Heritage Festival.
