Wikimedia projects are made by volunteers. Like you.
Editors contribute new articles and improve current articles. Developers write and debug the code that makes the wikis go. Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums share their collections and expertise. All of us have knowledge to share. Here’s how to join our global community.
No previous experience is needed to start editing Wikipedia. Visit the Teahouse for a friendly place to learn about editing. Veteran editors answer questions and help new editors become accustomed to Wikipedia culture.
Edit-a-thons bring people with similar interests together to create and improve Wikipedia articles around a common theme. These editing workshops include training for new editors.
There are over 100 active Wikimedia affiliates around the world. Each supports Wikimedia projects within a geographical region or thematic area. Find yours.
Our global technical community welcomes volunteer developers of all levels. We host hundreds of software projects in many different domains. It’s easy to get involved.
Wikimedia projects offer GLAMs and other institutions a powerful platform to share digital collections, institutional knowledge, and expertise with the public.
