Wikisource Conference 2025/Submissions/The usage of PAWS in Tamil Wikisource
- Title of the submitted proposal:
The usage of PAWS in Tamil Wikisource
- Description:
According to the Indic Wikisource Statistic tool data, Tamil Wikisource(WSta) contributors completed more than 1.5 lakh Proofread(yellow) pages and the top among Indic Wikisource projects. We achieved this status mainly because of female contributors, the strategy discussions and our pywikibot codes especially to write headers, mass find and replaces, placing transclusion and few more templates, moving WS data to other sister projects like wiktionary, wikipedia, wikiquote. The selected pywikibot screencasts will be given from c:category:விக்கிமூலம். Let us learn together and grow together for the Open data.
- Relationship to Wikisource or to the theme:
I am going to share my 14 years of experieces on wiki edit knowledge that will make the Wiki-bond strong especially the technical gap among female contributors from non-technical background.
