The Helpdesk provides hands-on support to you when you are trying to form a content partnership, especially for local communities in the underserved and underrepresented communities.
Do you want to upload a batch of images to Wikimedia Commons, but don't know how to do it? Or do you have a dataset with nature reserves in your country, that you want to use to run Wiki Loves Earth?
The Helpdesk supports most content-related projects you want to run together with partners. If the Helpdesk team does not have the answers, the person who requested the help will be introduced to other experts within the Wikimedia movement.
The work of the Helpdesk is guided and prioritized by an Expert Committee.
We are running the first pilot version of the Helpdesk. You can see the projects we've been working on here. Please get in touch with us at helpdesk

Do you want to form a content partnership with an institution? Do you want to know how to pitch the Wikimedia movement, or how to sign an agreement? Do you want to have good relations with the cultural heritage institutions in your area? The Helpdesk can give you support, or connect you with people with expertise, when it comes to how to establish good working relations with content partners. |

 Advocating for Free Knowledge
|
Do you know of content that you would like to see on the Wikimedia platforms, but the licensing does not match? Do you live in a country where the copyright legislation stops you from getting content from partners to the Wikimedia platforms? The Helpdesk can give you support, or connect you with people with expertise, when it comes to advocacy and policy-making, in relation to content partnerships. |

Why a helpdesk?
Many people have requested help to get started to carry out partnerships. This was frequently highlighted during the development of the 2030 strategic recommendations. The Helpdesk will provide that practical help, and lower the barriers for all affiliates within the Wikimedia Movement who want to start working with content partnerships – no matter where they are on the journey.
