Welcome to the Wikimedia contest Wiki Loves Sport 2025
the seventh edition of the Wikimedia campaign to write or improve sport-related articles
30 June - 21 September
What?
[edit]Wiki Loves Sport is a campaign ideated and organized by WikiDonne User Group since 2019 as part of WikiDonne Roadmap selected as one of the 11 individual or affiliate's projects granted by WMF in 2018.
The seventh edition of Wiki Loves Sport is organized to improve and extend content related to diversity in sport in the Wikimedia projects in general, and for the events it covers in particular. Given the gaps which is our topic of interest, the campaign is mainly focused on content concerning missing or underrepresented groups (women and para athelets), but as Wikimedians, we appreciate any sports-related content you want to add. Wikimedians in any language of the Wikimedia projects are invited to participate.

Why?
[edit]Wikimedia and Wikipedia have deep content gaps based on gender, linguistic and ethnic minorities etc. The contest was ideated in 2019 and it is organized by WikiDonne User Group: our goal is to improve the free knowledge about sport (with a special focus on women, LGBT+ communities, para athletics, minorities and underrepresented groups), in all languages.
