Wikimedian of the Year — is an annual award established in 2011 by Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales, traditionally presented at Wikimania to highlight major achievements within the Wikimedia movement. It was very much unexpected and somewhat life-changing experience for me, so I intend to share the milestones of my crisis management and emergency measures to steer related media attention to the benefit of the Wikimedia movement popularity in Russia.

How Our Governance Structres Could and Should Foster Diversity and Inclusion

User:Claudia.Garad

Executive Director Wikimedia Österreich

Over the last year WMAT reformed it's governance structures, one main aim was to build a framework that fosters diversity and inclusion. As a result we passed some substantial changes to our bylaws during the last general assembly. These include inclusive, gender-neutral language in the bylaws and a link to our friendly space policy, so these two documents conflict as little as possible.

Wiktionary and Lexemes

User:Tobias1984

WMAT community member

Wikidata now allows you to store data about words. Each word in each language can have a Lexeme page on Wikidata. How does this compare to Wiktionary? How can Wiktionary benefit from Lexemes?

Improving templates and infoboxes with new methods

User:Tobias1984

WMAT community member

Mediawiki has had the ability to make reusable text blocks that can be used on millions of pages: templates. Since a few years these templates can be filled with information from Wikidata and have become easier to write. We will look at one traditional and one modern example to wake your interest.

Let's Testament

User:KuboF Hromoslav

Esperanto and Free Knowledge, Leader of the Preparatory Committee

Wikipedia, as a libre education project, can thrive in non-libre world because it stands on the principle of non-copyrightability of idea. But another projects, like Commons and Wikisource, require explicit free license. Experience shows that many people are willing to free their work, but they do not do because of lack of law understanding of both the licenses themself and the process of freeing. So, let's help them by providing an appropriate tool. (session to invite you for feedback and ideas after the session)help
