Pitabangan
In the spirit of empowering ethnic languages, Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia is happy to organize an online exchange activity for Wikimedians around the world in conjunction with any Wikimedia events, called Pitabangan.
Pitabangan is a 9-day online activity for any Wikimedian to create articles in their respective language Wikipedias in order to add information about the host city (or any city) for Wikimedia events.
Pitabangan is a Kadazandusun word which means "to collaborate or work together in achieving a common goal". Join us as we work together to help spread knowledge to everyone around the world.
