About the course

An introduction to Wikipedia

On the week of 24-28 of April 2017 we will have a quick explanation on how to cooperate with Wikipedia. Documentation for full Wikipedia editing training can be found in this page (see resources below). There will be assistance on the various possibilities that may be chosen, eg. fixing errors, adding citations, translating fragments across languages, enriching infoboxes, etc.

We will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. One the most interesting aspects may involve translingual editing, for which participants may consider (Video) Introduction to the Content Translation tool (1 minute).
