Welcome! This is an initiative to support small wiki communities in learning and sharing technical skills.

This page describes the toolkits and provides information about the initiative, including how you can help.

Browse the toolkits

Toolkits are collections of recommended tools and educational resources. They focus on specific technical skills for developing, growing, and maintaining small wikis. You can use these toolkits to learn a variety of technical skills, or use them in workshops to teach more people.

Ask your technical questions

Is something unclear? Please ask! Good places to ask are usually the Support desk on mediawiki.org (if a question about MediaWiki itself), some mailing lists and IRC chat channels, the Tech page on meta-wiki (if it's about a Wikimedia wiki), or the talk pages of the links above after you have checked that the talk page has actually been active lately.

You can also join the Small Wiki Toolkits Telegram group.

Help with this initiative

Do you have an idea for building technical capacity in your wiki community? Are you interested in workshops, virtual events, toolkits, video tutorials, or interested in exchanging problems and challenges in smaller wiki communities? Add a comment on the discussion page!

People working on this project organize and track what to work on in the Small-Wiki-Toolkits Phabricator project. We sometimes have video meetings, and we have a Small Wiki Toolkits Telegram group.

Develop toolkits

Toolkits provide a limited number of links to high-quality, task-oriented ("How can I…?") material. This often requires improving existing documentation first, to be consistent, up-to-date, and in plain English. We discuss existing documentation pages for a specific area in a corresponding Phabricator task, instead of listing ten "See Also" links for one topic on this very page. Ideally, we would also love to have short, well-done video tutorials on some topics, with subtitles that could be translated.

If you want to develop and document a toolkit yourself, here are some recommendations:

Organize a workshop

Interested in starting a workshop series or initiative? The workshop guide describes the roles and responsibilities of organizers and mentors of small wiki toolkits. For more info, contact us on the talk page.
