Wikimedia DC's WikiMetrics opt-in form was originally created for an edit-a-thon. It features a brief series of questions, and the opt-in language that is required to have participants opt-in, legally, to allowing program leaders to use their usernames to evaluate their behavior via WikiMetrics. You can learn more about this legal requirement and find other options for language here.

This is the English version of this document. We encourage translations and remixes. And you can also share your own opt-in form for others to use. Just stop by the Parlor and share yours.

NOTICE FOR OPT-IN

One way you can help us improve the projects and events like this one is to permit us to follow how you (through your username) use our sites during and after this event.
