To implement any of the tasks below, we need to attract more motivated volunteers, help them master the Wiki-Way & respective tools.

The priority goes to such tasks that increase:

  • Readership of Wikipedias & other Wikimedia projects in respective languages.
  • On-wiki activity

Attractiveness

  • Existing articles should be illustrated and enriched using Wikidata linked infoboxes

Improving ease of discovery

  • Search engine optimization (let's help Google, Yandex, Bing, etc. tell others about content we have)
    • Tools to access degree of connectedness:
      • Article creation and updating is clearly important, but without intraproject and interwiki-linking of existing pages (categories, articles, templates) they won't be found by neither human, nor a bot. This is also important for improving such SEO indicators as PageRank regarding results in respective languages.
  • Increase content utility
  1. Basic article stub with interwiki - an element of multilingual glossary
  2. Longer stub with interwiki - an element of multilingual encyclopedic dictionary

Supporting participant and community development

  • Setting up intra-wiki reference system with links to Meta-Wiki or regional auxiliary language wiki reference materials
  • Regular recognition of onwiki participants' efforts (f.e. WMRU-way)

Communicating existence & importance of respective communities

Cheatsheet

Let the community know

  • Internal communications
    • Using Outreach Newsletters to promote and showcase efforts
    • Language-specific social media – regular well planned posts (advice)

Engaging existing readers to participating in respective Wikipedias

  • Systemic work on achieving, improving and effectively communicating engaging team spirit among existing participants of the project
  • Including different languages into article writing competitions with prizes and other forms of recognition

Исключение хотя бы одной сферы, будь она разделом какой-то науки или искусства, производства или услуг, из общения на этом языке, т.е. из производства образов мысли, наносит языку непоправимый удар, способствует его вымиранию. ... Надо стремиться, чтобы новость ожидали из формулировок этого языка."
