AfroCreatives維基專題
AfroCreatives WikiProject项目旨在支持和动员来自非洲文化创意产业的创意人士和专业人士，以及非洲文化爱好者，为维基百科上关于非洲创意经济的知识做出贡献并加以丰富。据估计，维基百科的贡献者中仅约1.5%来自非洲，且仅有15%的贡献来自非洲大陆，而所有语言中，标记地理位置的维基百科条目中，只有5.5%与非洲相关（根据Wikipedia Diversity Observatory）。
ACWP was launched with an initial focus on African Film and Television, serving as a foundation for learning and future growth across other cultural and creative industries. In November 2025, ACWP is expanding its scope to include African literature, followed by further expansion into African fashion in 2026.
ACWP is spearheaded by The Africa Narrative (TAN), a non-profit dedicated to building capacity in the African creative economy and amplifying the global visibility of African cultural soft power.

范围
AfroCreatives維基專題+電影
AfroCreatives WikiProject的首个项目聚焦于非洲电影，内容是：
- 提高非洲电影业为维基百科和其他维基媒体项目贡献知识的能力。
- 通过社区组织者网络，在维基百科和其他维基媒体项目上增加非洲人制作的有关非洲大陆电影业的内容。
- 提高公众对维基百科作为非洲电影业宝贵信息来源的认识和兴趣。
- 利用第一个ACWP项目了解如何以最佳方式将活动扩展到其他创意领域。
'ACWP+film'的第一项活动于2022年7月启动，包括在尼日利亚、卢旺达和塞内加尔举行的“Edit-a-thons”活动。
Key outcomes of the 2024 campaign included:
- Number of organizing communities: 20 (from 16 African countries: Benin Republic, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Ghana, Guinea-Conakry, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Sudan, Togo, and Tanzania)
- Number of events organized: 30
- Number of editors: 229
- Number of Wikipedia articles created: 620
- Number of Wikipedia articles improved: 660
- Number of Commons uploads: 293
In 2025, ACWP+film continues to broaden its reach with a Wikipedia edit-a-thon campaign from 2 August to 30 September in over 2 dozen countries on the continent and in the diaspora. A dedicated Wikimedia Commons drive will follow the campaign in November.
The ACWP+film Commons drive will be carried out in collaboration with African film and TV industry stakeholders—including guilds, associations, award shows, and festivals— to enrich the visibility of African Film and TV through improved image representation. An October 2024 survey conducted by ACWP of over 2,580 articles of African actresses, actors, and directors on English Wikipedia found that:
- Less than a third (29%) of articles have an image
- 1 in 4 (43%) had a low-quality image
- Almost a quarter (23%) have an image over 10 years old
AfroCreatives WikiProject +literature
In November 2025, ACWP is amplifying its activities to include African literature with a pilot campaign that will take place in several countries covering anglophone, francophone, and arabophone markets. Additional details to follow.
