Meta:Event organizers
Event organizers are Meta-Wiki users with the technical abilities to coordinate and manage events on Meta-Wiki. The first tool available to users with the event organizer right is Event Registration via the CampaignEvents extension. Event organizers who use Event Registration have the following abilities:
- Create an event page in the event namespace
- Add users (with the organizer right) as co-organizers of an event
- Enable registration on event pages that they created
- Collect information on participant demographics, if they agree to a clickwrap agreement
- Participants can answer optional questions when registering on: Gender, age, profession, comfort level in contributing to Wikimedia projects, and if they are a part of any Wikimedia affiliates
- Edit event registration information
- Disable event registration on event page
- See who registered for the event and when they registered
- Remove participants from the participant list
- Send emails to registered participants
