Part 1 Understanding your work
[edit]1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.
在期中報告時提到組織校內教師社群,為維基百科的中文條目帶來「量」與「質」的改變。2023年維基教師社群持續將維基百科條目撰寫融入歷史系的相關課程。
在地文化方面,與臺南的臺灣歷史博物館、嘉義新港地區的新港文教基金會、新港藝術高中、花蓮的東華大學歷史系,以及臺東的東臺灣研究會合作,整合彼此的資源來擴充維基媒體系列網站的內容及多元性,將在地特有的文化與知識藉由維基的平台向社會推廣。
It was mentioned in the mid-term report that forming communities of lecturers and students brings the improvements of quality and quantity to Mandarin articles. Wikimedia article writing is still a part of the courses to promote students to upload contents.
The cooperation with National Taiwan History Museum in Tainan, Hsin Kang Foundation of culture and education (新港文教基金會) and National Singang senior high school of Arts(國立新港藝術高中), History Department of National Dong Hwa University in Hualien, as well as workshop held together with East Taiwan Studies Association in Taidong, has brought fruitful results. The contents of local culture and knowledge are presented to the society through the platforms of Wikimedia.
Ps. 「新港」's different spellings: ‘Hsin Kang ’, ‘Singang’ & ‘Xingang’.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?
我們認為,透過大學專業系所是推動開放知識的有效平台,可以有效整合教師、學生、社區等社群來推進開放知識與維基媒體運動。
在成大的校內課程,新增《臺灣省醫師名鑑》(Handbook of Outstanding Doctors in Taiwan, 1958)的內容,所記載的醫師、診所與現址照片,透過修課學生的協作,將相關資料上傳至 Wikidata。
在地文化方面,與嘉義新港文教基金會合作,舉辦耆老台語諺語採集,將俗諺、音檔與解釋上傳至維基語錄;與新港藝術高中共同舉辦「新港採編營」,訓練學員選取素材、撰寫維基條目。
We find that university could play important role in the open knowledge and wekimedia movement as a platform to coordinate different stakeholders such as NGOs, citizens, local high school teachers and students, university teachers and students. Through the collaboration with communities and participants, it is easier to collect data and to write articles. It is also important to seek professional help to digitalize historical materials for better conservation and further research, while thanks to the help of Wikimedia Taiwan for promoting the use of several Wiki-related platforms and knowledge spreading.
In the Dept. of History, NCKU, Wikimedia article writing is still a part of the courses for students to upload contents. For example, courses participants are asked to digitalize the information of doctors recorded in the book of "Handbook of Outstanding Doctors in Taiwan" (1958) to Wikidata and to take present photos of the clinics.
As to the local cultural aspects, the Taiwanese proverbs collecting with the elderly in Xingang has brought the combination of Chinese writing, latinization of the Taiwanese spelling , vocal records and their meaning. While the Wikidata workshop in the Singang senior high school had trained the participants to collect local sites' information and produce a guide book with several routes to introduce their hometown to others.

3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?
本計畫的創新之處,在於利用大學為支點與平台,去整合、串連各地的社區與團體,一同學習、前進,是專業與地方知識相互學習的正向循環。一方面,對維基平台運作不熟悉的地方團體,可以藉由本計畫學習如何運用此一工具,另一方面大學專業系所的師生也可更深入地認識地方的視角與生活,補充現有學院知識的盲點。比方說,以臺灣為例,目前維基的資料內容仍以首都臺北為主,臺北也是主要的維基活動及知識生產基地。本計畫一方面培育學生成為維基的實踐者與倡議者,讓他們具備帶領相關活動的能力,將既有的學院知識引入並與地方團體合作建置維基內容。另一方面,透過參與地方維基書寫,我們也常發現地方關心的事物缺乏好的研究或調查,此時大學專業師生也能體察現有研究的不足與缺憾,並著手投入相關研究。
The innovation of this project lies in using universities as anchors and platforms to integrate and connect communities and groups across different locations, fostering collaborative learning and progress. It represents a positive cycle of mutual learning between professional and local knowledge. On one hand, local groups unfamiliar with the operation of the Wiki platform can learn how to utilize this tool through the project. On the other hand, faculty and students from university departments can gain a deeper understanding of local perspectives and lifestyles, addressing blind spots in existing academic knowledge. Taking Taiwan as an example, current Wiki content predominantly centers around the capital, Taipei, which is also the main hub for Wiki activities and knowledge production. This project aims to cultivate students as practitioners and advocates of Wiki, empowering them with the ability to lead relevant activities and integrate existing academic knowledge into Wiki content in collaboration with local groups. Simultaneously, through participating in the writing of local Wiki articles, we often discover that there is a lack of good research or investigation on issues that matter to local communities. At such times, university faculty and students can identify shortcomings in existing research and embark on relevant studies to address those gaps.
4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.

6. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.
A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups | Strongly agree |
B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community | Strongly agree |
C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups | Strongly agree |
D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives | Strongly agree |
E. Encourage the retention of editors | Strongly agree |
F. Encourage the retention of organizers | Strongly agree |
G. Increased participants' feelings of belonging and connection to the movement. | Strongly agree |
7. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
The elder people is underrepresented in the wikimedia and in our society in general. Our strategy is to use historical material to communicate with elder people in local community and collect their ways of saying local proverbs, and upload their sound and stories to Wiki Commons. The book we use is called "The Collection of Proverbs in Taiwan"(《臺灣俚諺集覽》/たいわん りげん しゅうみ, the introduction in Mandarin: https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E8%87%BA%E7%81%A3%E4%BF%9A%E8%AB%BA%E9%9B%86%E8%A6%BD), published in the period under Japanese rule.
In this book, the editors had collected plenty of Taiwanese proverbs, their pronunciation written in Katakana and meaning in Japanese. This book has conserved the local proverbs since 1914 and become a good material for people nowadays. All the proverbs are uploaded to the Wikiversity to form a structure at first, rest of the contents are waiting for uploading.
Part 2: Your main learning
[edit]8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
先前申請時羅列三項優先學習目標:1. 維基是否能夠成為歷史專業知識公共化的重要平台?2. 維基是否能夠成為地方歷史研究的重要平台?3. 維基是否能夠成為面對快速高齡化的臺灣社會,社區經營的有用資源?
經過2023 年的計劃執行,答案是肯定的。維基確實是歷史專業知識公共化的平台,2023 年於新港藝術高中舉辦的新港文化採訪編輯營即是維基平台於地方歷史研究的應用與體現。第三點在嘉義新港的俗諺採集及扶緣活動,透過與在地老人的互動,將台語諺語紀錄下來並上傳至 Wikimedia 的平台,以應證第三點提問。
9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?
在一次新港諺語採集課程後,尚有許多時間,因此決定至鄰近的雲林縣北港鎮踏查。新港與北港兩座城鎮皆以媽祖信仰聞名於台灣,但兩者的氛圍卻不太相同。在北港踏查期間除了參觀北港朝天宮外,也在附近發現許多老診所、老醫館,對台灣的傳統文化及生活型態有更多的了解。這個經驗後續也進一步整合進成大歷史系的「臺灣醫療史導論」課程中,讓同學針對各地的老醫館進行維基數據及維基共享資源的作業。
10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
我們發現結合結合史料文獻及田野踏查是非常好的教學方式,並能進一步拓展、推廣不同維基平台的運用。例如,之前整理資料時所搜集到的《臺灣省醫師名鑑》,將1950 年代台灣著名醫師的診所資訊整理成冊。將踏查所拍攝的照片與書中資訊做比對、鏈結,上傳至 Wikimedia 的平台。後續,透過大學課堂中學生的協力合作,將範圍擴大至台灣全島,並與各地的老醫館後人及社區進行協力,重新訴說老醫館的關於地方照顧的故事及記憶,開創老醫館的新生命,希望能成為高齡化社區的照護據點。對歷史學專業來說,這不但可以充分運用史料來進行社區高齡化的照護,也可以反向透過社區的田野考察深入我們對於地方醫療史的認識。而維基平台的運用與推廣正式推動此一計畫的重要平台。
11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?
我會想要分享大學師生與社區合作的經驗。比方說,我們前往新港社區,與當地的高中生及老人家一起舉辦工作坊的事情。我們結合在地社區長期積累的田野知識,透過教高中生寫條目,讓這些未被充分代表的知識得以面像公眾。我們去日照中心跟老人家一起講俗諺,學習他們的知識並透過維基平台分享。我們也到臺東,臺灣的後山,交通及資源都最缺乏的地方,與地方志工一起寫當地的條目,並透過這個過程反思如何著手建置讓資訊公開的資源,並向地方政府遊說、施壓或爭取。這些都是難得且美好的經驗。透過維基媒體協會的預算,將大學的學術資源與地方的社群活力串接,將兩者融合的成果上傳到維基媒體相關平台,就可以將相關知識散播給社會大眾,是一件很有意義的事情。
12. Please share resources that would be useful to share with other Wikimedia organizations so that they can learn from, adapt or build upon your work. For instance, guides, training material, presentations, work processes, or any other material the team has created to document and transfer knowledge about your work and can be useful for others. Please share any specific resources that you are creating, adapting/contextualizing in ways that are unique to your context (i.e. training material).

O. Evaluating and learning from our work | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
P. Communicating and sharing what we learn with our peers and other stakeholders | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
N/A | |
N/A |
17a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
Formal training provided by a Wikimedia Movement organizing group (i.e., Affiliates, Grantees, Regional or Thematic Hub, etc.), Peer to peer learning with other community members (but that is not continuous or structured), Formal training provided by the Wikimedia Foundation
17b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
Lack of volunteer time to participate in capacity building/training, Lack of staff time to participate in capacity building/training, Lack of financial resources
18. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your organizational capacity has grown, and areas where you require support?
最主要困難在於自願者招募困難及時間有限。我們的策略是盡可能地讓維基成為正式的教育活動一環,與專業的史學方法論結合,如此希望能自然而然的讓學生習慣維基,進而培養自願者與組織幹部。臺灣維基媒體協會在教學及活動方面提供重要的協助,得以節省相當多的時間,非常有幫助。
19. Partnerships over the funding period.
A. We built strategic partnerships with other institutions or groups that will help us grow in the medium term (3 year time frame) | Strongly agree |
B. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to bring in more contributors from underrepresented groups | Strongly agree |
C. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to build out more content on underrepresented topics/groups | Strongly agree |
19a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
Staff hired through the fund, Institutional support from the Wikimedia Foundation, Partners proactive interest
19b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
Limited funding period, Lack of interest from partners
20. Please share your learning about strategies to build partnerships with other institutions and groups and any other learning about working with partners?
從彼此共同的基礎開始著手。例如,我們團隊成員是來自歷史專業科系,便優先考慮與重視地方歷史的在地組織合作,例如新港文教基金會、東台灣研究會、臺灣歷史博物館等等。我們的另一個策略在於方法論的整合,也就是將歷史學的研究方法與維基百科條目寫作方法進行整合,降低合作伙伴關於維基可信度的質疑。此外,我們也將維基定義為由下而上的公民培力運動,這也與許多社區伙伴的理念相符。
在執行計畫時,積極接洽當地的社群團體,了解對方的需求與活動運作模式,並將己方可供協助的資源與服務告知對方,共同討論與籌組有關維基平台的相關活動,建立合作互惠的關係。
Part 5: Sense of belonging and collaboration
[edit]21. What would it mean for your organization to feel a sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement?
維基媒體及知識公共化對團隊來說相當重要,執行方面也非常有成就感。成大團隊來自大學端,透過維基媒體的計畫贊助,能夠往校外與其他單位,如:博物館、高中、長照單位、研究會等舉辦各式的維基工作坊或活動,促進彼此在工作上的進步,並將相關成果放上維基媒體平台,效果顯著。
22. How has your (for individual grantees) or your group/organization’s (for organizational grantees) sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?
Increased significantly
23. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.
如前述,透過將史學研究的方法論與維基百科寫作結合,並強調由下而上公民培力、公民書寫歷史的精神,都增加我們團隊與合作組織對維基運動的認識,甚至增加認同。此外,來自維基媒體的經費支持,能支援各種教學及工作坊活動來推廣維基平台的寫作,給與大家更多動力來推廣維基媒體的各項工具。
24. How has your group/organization’s sense of personal investment in the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?
Increased significantly
25. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.
如前述,透過將史學研究的方法論與維基百科寫作結合,並強調由下而上公民培力、公民書寫歷史的精神,都增加我們團隊與合作組織對維基運動的認識,甚至增加認同與投入。
26. Are there other movements besides the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement that play a central role in your motivation to contribute to Wikimedia projects? (for example, Black Lives Matter, Feminist movement, Climate Justice, or other activism spaces) If so, please describe it below.
當然史學發展中的底層史、邊緣史、婦女史,都與維基及開放知識運動相符。
Supporting Peer Learning and Collaboration
[edit]We are interested in better supporting peer learning and collaboration in the movement.
27. Have you shared these results with Wikimedia affiliates or community members?
Yes
27a. Please describe how you have already shared them. Would you like to do more sharing, and if so how?
主要透過與社區共同舉辦教學活動及工作坊,以及演講與短文寫作,來分享與參與維基的經驗。
28. How often do you currently share what you have learned with other Wikimedia Foundation grantees, and learn from them?
We do this occasionally (less than once a month)
29. How does your organization currently share mutual learning with other grantees?
成大團隊與台北維基共同籌組教學工作坊,推廣維基媒體平台的應用,並在課堂間進行相關知識的交流。
