Setswana Wikipedia Challenge BW 2023
Setswana Wikipedia Edit-a-thon series BW 2023.
The aim of the campaign is to increase creation and editing of articles in Setswana to improve and promote writing content in our local language. It was discovered that there is a huge gap of content creation in our local language Setswana and this particular project is meant to address such concerns. The campaign will be open allowing participants to create content in Setswana about anything as long as that has something to do with Botswana.
