In Wiki for Minorities (WfMin) we are fully aware that the content on disability on Wikipedia is one of the many gaps in the different languages that this virtual encyclopedia is currently available. To find a solution to this, we collaboratively created a list of the articles that every Wikipedia should have on this topic, focused on the importance of readability to raise awareness about the challenges that people with disabilities face daily. Our methodology is based on the information collected after work and information meetings with different agents of change and actors in disability activism, which helped us to better understand the issues in which they are involved and in which we can help from free knowledge.

Editathons where both allies and people with disabilities themselves participate are a good initiative to help reduce this gap in each Wikipedia. We invite users in different languages to translate and create the articles suggested below:
