Samatics/Advancing Wikimedia Projects in Gungbe Language: Gungbe Wiktionary, Gungbe Wikipedia, Wikidata & Commons
Gungbe is one of the "gbe" languages spoken in Nigeria and Benin Republic. The Gungbe Wikipedia is in the final stage of approval and I intend to introduce other Wikimedia projects to gungbe editors. Advancing Wikimedia projects in gungbe will help to improve the skills of existing editors and improve gungbe wikimedians community engagement. New and existing editors will be introduced and trained on how to contribute to Gungbe Wikipedia, Gungbe Wiktionary, Wikidata and Commons. The Gungbe Wikipedia and Gungbe Wiktionary are listed among incubator wikis that will soon get its subdomain.
