Partnership MediaWiki Training-2019 MediaWiki 2019 Logo What? CIS-A2K conducted the fifth iteration of the MediaWiki training to build/enhance technical knowledge of the Indian Wikimedians. This was a small workshop where advanced topics related to MediaWiki were discussed. In an effort to encourage participation from women, 20% of the participants were women. When and Where? MWT 2019 was conducted at Jayamahal Palace Hotel, Bengaluru, on 7-9 June 2019 How? This workshop was focused on providing technical support to the Indic Wikimedia communities and to develop few tools which help the community members to Wikimedia sister project in easier way. This workshop had 10 participants in which 3 were from the language community and 7 of them were GSoC applicants. The topics discussed during the workshop were Intro to MediaWiki, MediaWiki Extensions, UserScripts Creation and Gadgets Installation. Changes made? Every year, we are tweaking the structure of the MediaWiki training based on the suggestions and observation from the participants and the organising team. In this interation, we had involved WMF staff member from the very first step of the Training which helped us to get participants with more technical knowledge. It was a great event. I learnt a lot about the Wikimedia platform in general and also learnt about the various use cases it can be applied into. The best part was the hands-on experience we got. I learnt about Wikimedia API which is actually helping me a lot during my GSoC project as well. Among the various improvements, I would like to see a platform with more people and so that we interact with the various communities such as the translator community and so on. I would like to greatly thank Tito Dutta, Ananth Subray and Jay Prakash for this wonderful workshop. —User:Muhdusman Impact made With the help of this workshop, we were able to fix 8 patches on Phabicator and develop two Userscripts/Tools such as: Create Wiki File transfer tool for language wiki Speech to Text for Wikipedia Followup plan Zonal level MediaWiki training has been planned at Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology and Amritha University by the participants with the involvement of the local community members. Learning Encouraging community members to use their expertise in leading workshops. More women involvement should be encouraged.

Collaboration with the community to organise TTT: This year instead of directly selecting a city we requested Wikimedia communities to collaborate in organising. 2 communities showed interest to host the workshop in their city. After studying the two applications, and with the jury's suggestion, Visakhapatnam was selected for this year's TTT. Trainers: We had two expert trainers, User:Shyamal, and User:AshLin during TTT. Their role was not limited to training only, however they also helped in planning the schedule of the workshop. Bridging gender gap attempt: Out of 25, 8 participants were women. In comparison to previous iterations, this year women participation ratio was much higher (almost 25%). From the local organising committee 2 out 4 participants were women (i. e. 50%). Some of the topics discussed/trained in this workshop were: the importance of outreach events and activities, how to conduct events like edit-a-thons, workshops, GLAM activities, meetups and these events best practices, Global metrics, X Tools, P&E dashboard etc. The program schedule may be seen here.

Learning This was the first time we collaborate with a community to host/organise TTT. Wikimedians from VVIT added a lot of value in organising. We find this practice helpful for both the supporting community and also A2K. Wikipedia in Education What? CIS-A2K entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Christ University, Bangalore to introduce the Wikimedia and it's sister project among the students through their Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) of 1,300 undergraduate students who enroll to the University every year. When and Where? Wikipedia in Education is a year long event hosted at Christ University. How? Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA):Students who take Hindi, Kannada & Sanskrit as the second language will be working on the Wikimedia sister projects mainly focused on Wikipedia and Wikisource. This platform creates and builds student’s skills in editing and typing. and students work on the following aspect in each semester: Semester 1 CIA 1 - Type and digitize given text on Wikisource. CIA 3 - Type and proofread texts on Wikisource Semester 2 CIA 1 - Create their user page on Wikipedia. CIA 3 - Add relevant images. Semester 3 CIA 1 - Write an article on Wikipedia related to Culture and Language. CIA 3 - Add images to the articles (from commons) which were written for CIA 1. Semester 4 CIA 1 - Creation of articles related to their core subjects. CIA 3 - Add images to the articles (from commons) which were written for CIA 1. Certificate course: To increase the participation of students in the Wikimedia Movement, a Certificate course was introduced for the interested students of the University in 2016. The course helps the students to improve their knowledge of the Wikimedia movement and to help them understand how to contribute to Wikimedia projects in vernacular languages, helping them to learn basic digitisation skills in the local language. Internships: The internship activity was introduced by the CIS-A2K team at the Christ University which offers students to work with the staffs of the team and the Wikimedia community members to understand the broader Wikimedia movement. This gives an opportunity for students to have hands-on experience from the learning they had from the classroom programs. This activity is mainly focused on the creation of articles in several languages and proofreading and validations of the folios in Wikisource. During this time students improve the quality of the articles and improve the quality of the folios in Wikisource, which is created by the students during the regular assignments. It was conducted in the month of October and September. Students who have taken Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Sanskrit as their second language are given this opportunity which is very limited and hard to find. Impact made Enhanced the skills of students such as digital skills, critical evaluation of information, consumption, and creation of open knowledge resources. Enriched the content of Indic language Wikimedia projects, which also train the students to access the information in vernacular languages and contribute to the worldwide web. Social Media campaign started by CIS-A2K helped me to know that the article which I had created as a part WEP was used as Google doodle and I felt very happy at that time and also it helped me and my friends to understand the output of the work we do. —Guru Sharan, Educator at Christ University, Bangalore, India Learning To have more educators, student-community leaders. To involve the community in the complete procedure of Wikipedia in Education. Quality of the articles should be up to the community expectations.
