As part of the Museum Next conference, Wikimedia Community Ireland are presenting a workshop on Wikipedia. The event aims to help turn participants into active users and contributors to Wikipedia. Participants will be able to develop their editing skills, as well as learning more about using Wikipedia as a tool in the GLAM sector.
The workshop will take the form of three sections: firstly an introduction to Wikipedia, followed by a hands-on workshop of the basics of Wikipedia editing, finishing up an exploration of other ways to contribute to Wikipedia and other projects.
How to Prepare
[edit]CREATE A WIKIPEDIA ACCOUNT (if you don't already have one)
Please set up an account before the event if at all possible. Very few details are needed: a Username, password, and we recommend giving your email, if only to be reminded of your password when you forget it. The short Wikipedia:Tutorial/Registration explains why this is a good idea.
If you like, you can also learn a little about editing ahead of time here: w:en:Wikipedia:Tutorial, or see Getting started on Wikipedia for more information
