Bienvenue sur le portail méta pour le Mois asiatique Wikipédia ! Le Mois asiatique Wikipédia (Wikipédia Asian Month, WAM) est un événement annuel en ligne qui vise à promouvoir le contenu asiatique de Wikipédia. Depuis 2015, chaque communauté locale participante organise un edit-a-thon en ligne chaque mois de novembre, qui encourage la création ou l'amélioration du contenu de Wikipédia sur l'Asie, à l'exception de celui concernant le pays du contributeur.

La communité participante ne se limite pas à l'Asie. Le projet est mené à travers diverses éditions linguistiques de Wikipédia ainsi que d'autres projets de la Fondation Wikimedia (mouvement Wikimedia), cependant, certaines actions spécifiques sont menées dans certains pays et communautés Wikimedia via des organisateurs locaux.

Le Mois asiatique Wikipédia a énormément accompli en 5 ans : plus de 37 500 articles de haute qualité ont été ajoutés sur plus de 63 éditions linguistiques de Wikipédia par plus de 2 900 ses contributeurs.

Fountain tool is one of the tools hosted on Wikimedia Toolforge which can be used to organize edit-a-thons / contests. Historically, it has been mainly used for organizing Wikipedia Asian Month. The tool developer is Ле Лой. This page is a tutorial for the Fountain tool:
