Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the NavWiki Project. This project teaches people how to add and edit content on Wikipedia and its sister projects such as Wikimedia Commons.

Are you looking for comprehensive training?
NavWiki is in development, and it doesn't currently offer comprehensive training for new contributors, but some wikis have their own training programs. Click the "Help" link at the top of the page to see links to help pages. NavWiki may offer more comprehensive training in the future!

Short introduction to NavWiki

Who can use NavWiki?

NavWiki is designed for people who want to contribute to Wikipedia and are not part of a formal group such as a GLAM program or education program. Formal groups often have their own ways of training new users. However, NavWiki products may be helpful to these people also!
