Activities

Sharing news, advice, and resources via Telegram group and talk page. We share news about women-centered projects, programs, and events they're organizing, to help others know what's happening.
Representatives Chocmilk03 (Emma) and JasDolt (Jas) attended WikiMania 2023 in August 2023. Jas presented a talk on Wiki Loves Local Laws too, while Emma was one of the speakers presenting Collaborative on-wiki events planning at Women in Red's Virtual Ideas Cafe.
In March 2024, we supported Les sans pagEs with the English version of the Francophone Women★ Writers Fortnight 2024, leading to the creation of over 20 articles about Francophone women writers on English Wikipedia (see project page here and Fountain tool here).
