What should your focus be?

The best way of determining what your focus should be is to consider your language Wikipedia version. None of these are mutually exclusive; instead, think about crafting the focus of your education program around what can get you the most impact for your language Wikipedia.

  • Does your language Wikipedia have many holes in specific subjects (e.g., humanities, social sciences, history)? Then you should focus on working with university or Ph.D. students who are studying those subjects.
  • Does your language Wikipedia lack gender diversity? Then you should target women's schools or subjects in which women make up the majority of students (such as languages or arts).
  • Does your language Wikipedia lack articles? Consider working with language students (of any age) who can translate articles from larger Wikipedias into your language.
