Building Technical Capacity in Smaller Wikis
Wikimania 2019

Wiki communities often face similar technical challenges. How can we ensure knowledge transfer from one wiki to another? How can wikis adapt bots, templates, and tools from others to not reinvent the wheel? What kind of support is needed to strengthen technical knowledge & skills in communities that don’t have many or any technical contributors? In this session we would like to discuss challenges of smaller and medium-sized wiki communities, bridge the gap between developer and editor communities and come up with ideas to build technical capacity & knowledge across wikis. The session is related to the Wikimania Hackathon focus area [[phab:T221394|Small Wiki Toolkits]].
