Residensi Wikimediawan
Residensi Wikimediawan (atau variasinya, seperti Wikipediawan) adalah sebuah jabatan profesional dalam bidang komunikasi dengan sebuah organisasi untuk membagikan pengetahuannya di platform Wikimedia dan mengukur pengaruhnya. Sama halnya seperti organisasi seperti universitas, yayasan, ormas, institut penelitian, perpustakaan, dan museum dapat menaruh informasi di situs web dan media sosial mereka, organisasi tersebut juga dapat mempromosikan integrasi keahlian mereka di Wikipedia, Wikidata, dan platform Wikimedia.
Komunitas Wikimedia membedakan merek dan pemasaran dari keahlian dan pengetahuan. Dalam konteks ini, ada sebuah kebiasaan bahwa Wikimedian in Residence tidak menyunting tentang institusi mereka, tetapi lebih ke arah membagikan pengetahuan yang dimiliki institusinya. Proyek-proyek Wikimedia berusaha menghadirkan informasi terbaik yang ada dari sumber yang paling otoritatif, dan organisasi apapun yang bersedia membagikan informasinya dalam konteks itu disilakan menunjuk seorang Wikimedian in Residence untuk memfasilitasi ini.
Program-program Wikimedian in Residence bermula di awal 2010an dengan posisi pekerjaan uji coba di berbagai ruang kelas universitas, organisasi nirlaba, dan museum. Sekarang di sana budaya dan praktek peran ini lebih dikembangkan di dalam organisasi termasuk Wikimedian in Residence Exchange Network yang menyediakan dukungan peer to peer untuk organisasi dan perorangna yang ikut serta membagikan pengetahuan bebas di platform Wikimedia.

Wikipedia, Wikidata, dan platform Wikimedia adalah sebuah platform yang sejak awal digital yang telah secara konsisten meraih pemirsa dalam jumlah besar selama satu generasi. Sejak 2005, Wikipedia telah menjadi sumber informasi tunggal yang paling dirujuk pada hampir semua topik yang menjadi bahan pencarian orang-orang di internet dan ada artikel Wikipedianya. Organisasi yang memiliki otoritas dalam sebuah bidang yang ada artikel Wikipedianya dapat mempertimbangkan untuk ikut terlibat dengan Wikipedia untuk membagikan informasi itu. Menaruh konten di platform Wikimedia berarti telah ikut mendistribusikan dan menebarkannya untuk sasaran yang paling tepat dan paling luas tersedia, yaitu para individu yang secara khusus mencari informasi rujukan umum dan sumber otoritatif di setiap topik khusus.
Mengikuti kebiasaan organisasi-organisasi melacak angka pengunjung ke situs web mereka, pengikut di akun media sosial mereka, dan keikutsertaan pengguna yang mengeklik untuk bereaksi, platform Wikimedia memiliki rangkaian metrik komunikasi yang memperlihatkan bahwa menaruh konten di Wikipedia telah berhasil meraih audiens yang mencari jenis informasi yang berbagai organisasi berusaha kumpulkan untuk dibagikan. Platform Wikimedia meraih 1 milyar pengguna berbeda per tahun, konten dari platform Wikimedia berputar lebih luas lagi, dan semua orang pantas untuk yakin bahwa semua jurnalis, siswa, para komentator, para investor, pejabat publik, dan orang-orang yang tertarik akan memeriksa artikel Wikipedia dan koleksi Wikimedia ketika melakukan penelitian/kajian awal di topik apapun. Organisasi yang ingin pengetahuannya terwakilkan dalam konteks ini akan mempekerjakan Wikimedian in Residence untuk mencapainya.
Untuk organisasi

Hiring a Wikimedian in Residence is comparable to hiring a website content developer, a Facebook and Twitter post manager, a YouTube video director, or any of the other more common new media publishing roles that serve the purpose of sharing an organization's knowledge with the public in popular media channels. Various media channels have their own rules and community norms, and for organizations that share general reference information, integrating content into the Wikimedia platform is a high-impact, low-cost strategy to reach the global readership of Wikipedia.
There are no special permissions or editorial appointments available in the Wikimedia platform. Organizations that appoint Wikimedians in Residence do so from the same position as anyone else on the Internet creating a Wikipedia user account. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and a Wikimedian in Residence enters the role equal to anyone else with no special recognition or consideration of their institutional affiliation. While the Wikimedia community is favorable to institutional partnerships because the Wikimedia community respects knowledge organizations, all organizations engaged in sharing information should comply with the community rules, participate in social discourse, make some commitment to the Wikimedia mission and values, and expect that their Wikimedian in Residence will be a liaison between the Wikimedia community and their own host organization.
For individuals
Wikimedians in Residence enter their appointments with some skill set. Usually that skill set is Wikimedia editing experience including an understanding of community norms in performing test edits, seeking program review, communicating in the open with Wikimedia community stakeholders in a knowledge or media sector, and being conscious of when to request or offer the favor of time and labor collaborations with the Wikimedia community volunteer base. Not all Wikimedians in Residence heavily engage in Wikimedia community culture, though. In Wikidata as the structured data collection of the Wikimedia platform, a Wikimedian in Residence may be a data management professional who processes and manages dataset uploads with more technical engagement and less community conversation than what is the norm in Wikipedia. In Wikimedia Commons, the image and non-text media repository, the Wikimedian in Residence may have a skill set in digital access and might promote the circulation of the images and archival documents of cultural institutions in the Linked Open Web.
Any individual seeking a Wikimedian in Residence appointment or career path should grow their familiarity with how other wiki professionals have found success, but also note that jobs and funding come from institutions. People seeking a Wikimedian in Residence job ultimately must find an organization ready to hire them, and must explain the value of what they do in the context of that organization's overall digital publishing and communication goals.
Typical activities
Strategic planning in new media
Organizations which hire a Wikimedian in Residence should expect this person to identify and describe trends in new media to the leadership of the organization. It is not necessary that organizations change themselves or their culture to engage in Wikimedia projects, but engagement in Wikimedia does require more conversation and planning than publishing in platforms entirely under the control of the host platform. Some necessary topics of discussion are how sharing content on the open web invites global response to the content, what balance organizations can design for sharing content to reach more people versus restricting access so that fewer people control a complicated discourse, how to manage copyright, and what it means to be in a public media commons.
The Wikimedia community are a subset of people, mostly activist minded, who advocate for universal access to some educational information, some media which encourages good citizenship, and enough knowledge to inform decisions for quality of life. Various works of journalism and research describe this Wikimedia culture, and understanding this culture and its goals are more important to the success of most projects than entering with a particular skill set. Briefly, people in this community and culture can recognize each other, and they can recognize outsiders. In the same way that fans of opera, or a particular sport, or in a niche professional sector can identify who is and who is not like them, there are a few million people in the Open Movement who share a system of values and they have high compatibility with each other and common intuition on matters of ethics. Organizations which hire a Wikimedian in Residence should expect to bring some amount of this culture in their practices, and gain the shared history of the many shared successes and failures of how to effectively do communication in Wikimedia projects in this still new digital age.
The most common strategic planning activity among Wikimedians in Residence is collecting audience engagement metrics from the Wikimedia platform to generate a report of communication impact. This includes measuring how many readers have viewed Wikimedia content which an organization finds relevant to its interest, including audience in its field of expertise and audience to the content it has posted. The most common and easiest to collect reports are from the Programs & Events Dashboard, Traffic reporting tools such as Pageviews Analysis, and specialized reports through the Wikidata Query Service.
Text editing
Since its establishment in 2001, Wikipedia has become a foundation of the human experience. Wikipedia is an everyday presence in all cultures where people use Internet resources. All countries have Wikimedia editors in all languages where people engage with digital tools. Posting text knowledge and citations into relevant Wikipedia articles is still the best way to deliver general reference information to the people who want it. Any Wikimedian in Residence will either have at least minimal experience in editing Wikipedia, or otherwise they should start editing a little and regularly over time because Wikipedia is the center of most people's experience of the Wikimedia platform.
Sharing datasets
Whereas the most common way to edit the Wikimedia platform is one Wikipedia article at a time, Wikidata offers the promise of sharing facts as structured data at scale to the knowledge environment of any topic in every language. Perhaps the best way to describe the possibilities with sharing data is in looking to the field of data science, which seeks to collect data, analyze it, secure data pipelines for quality control and updating, engineer visualizations to make it understandable, and invest in ethics to promote good and minimize the harm from doing massive low cost publishing which gets massive viewership and engagement.
Some Wikimedians in Residence spend much of their time engaged in Wikidata. A beginner in Wikidata can assist an organization in structuring their knowledge to be FAIR data, which enables magnitudes of additional crowdsourced engagement. An person experienced in managing data will almost always be preparing an organization to engage in the next generation of online publishing. An organization's investment in data curation need not be for Wikidata specifically, and instead a Wikidata project can be a practical live attempt among an organization's broader plans to integrate into the Semantic Web. Compared to competing options, Wikidata is a low-cost, low-commitment, high-impact path for growing a culture which can imagine the advent of next generation data-based applications.
Sharing media collections
Museums and libraries traditionally measured engagement by counting humans who physically walked into their brick and mortar buildings. The Wikimedia platform offers options for museums to present their collections online through Wikipedia articles, media galleries in Commons, structured metadata in Wikidata, archives in Wikisource, and the rest.
A common museum activity is selecting some media, such as images, to integrate into Wikipedia. After posting this content the museum tracks the audience engagement with it through the Wikimedia audience measurement tools. The organization then considers the relative value of having people use its online collections versus in-person. A common general conclusion is that all organizations need a balance of investment of online versus in-person engagement, and that Wikipedia provides an excellent value for achieving and demonstrating online usefulness.
Community engagement
There is a culture in the Wikimedia community of presenting online and in-person community events in partnership with organizations. In these events, called "wiki parties" or "edit-a-thons", a group of people meet to engage with the media resources of a host institution. These people, perhaps community members in open invitation, or students from a university, or online participants who want to join but cannot physically come to the organization, take a media source of information from the host organization and then share and cite that source in the Wikimedia platforms.
Wikimedians in Residence have organized thousands of these events globally. People enjoy them. They achieve knowledge sharing and produce metrics as supporting evidence to demonstrate their impact.
History and case studies
(2010-2011)
In 2006 user:llywrch published "Wikipedian-in-residence, a proposal" articulating in print the concept of an liaison between Wikimedia projects and external organizations with domain expertise. Following that proposal in the early 2010s various Wikimedian in Residence programs flourished in different regions. Early experiments were in the United States, particularly in the Cascadia region based on llywrch's advocacy, where the United States Public Policy Initiative trained and professionalized persons at universities to collaborate with Wikimedia projects. In the college town of Pune in India a parallel experiment with the Indian Wikipedia Education program inspired many students to become highly engaged Wikipedia editors, leading to the convening of several large Wikimedia conferences in India and many of the students from that program to join regional volunteer administration in the Wikimedia India chapter. In Europe the culture leaned more to seeking museum partnerships after the model of a community outreach and events program manager. These regions each set some precedents, but the true story of the early history is the sum of all the experiments which happened globally in the first 10 years. Probably the most stable outcome of the Wikimedian in Residence experiments is the establishment of the Wiki Education Foundation, which correctly identified that universities have the best funding, the best access to highly motivated student editors, and the best knowledge resources to justify creating paid professional appointments to Wikimedians in Residence.
As of 2019, probably most of the funding which has gone into Wikimedian in Residence programs has come from encouraging public health and medical education. Probably the most common characteristic of Wikimedian in Residence programs is that they have a relationship to a university, either by the university hosting the position or the university being an essential partner in achieving the goals of the appointment. One of the most popular types of Wikimedian in Residence activity is a wiki editing event in the arts, which have a global history of drawing large crowds of first-time and beginning editors who will edit at an in-person social event and gathering.
