Wiki Expedition Dimitrovgrad - Dragoman 2015/Sharing

Nice projects edit

#100wikidays edit

  • Project: 100wikidays
  • Idea: Write an article in 100 days in a row.
  • Necessary preparation:

Project "Birthdays" edit

  • Project: bg:Уикипедия:Рожденици
  • Idea: Promote writing articles for encyclopaedically notable people born on the day.
  • Necessary preparation:
    • Create and regularly maintain templates for all 366 days in the year, following the "MM-DD" convention for easy sorting and navigation. In each template add red links to unwritten bio-articles with very short explanation / teaser giving the nationality, occupation and the argument of notability of each person. Articles that already exist in different languages can be linked.
    • Maintain monthly archive of what has and has not been written in the current month. Follow the YYYY-MM convention. Here is the aggregated view bg:Уикипедия:Рожденици/Архив. This helps for creating statistics

Useful tools and rights edit

Tool: GLAMify edit

  • Used for: Helping other/smaller Wikipedias make good use of those collections based on the already existing usage of those images on Wikipedia in another language.
  • Address: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ijon/GLAMify
  • Example: Request
    # sr; bg; Wiki Expedition Dimitrovgrad - Dragoman 2015 Day 2; Spiritia
    has yielded the following result: User:Ijon/GLAMify/2015/10/Wiki Expedition Dimitrovgrad - Dragoman 2015 Day 2 sr bg
  • How to use it:
    • Checks for only two languages at a time, and the results for
      # sr; bg; ...
      will be most probably different from the results for
      # bg; sr; ...
    • It only checks the category that has been given as parameter, no traversing its subcategories
    • Multiple requests are handled.
