When people want to check a fact or learn about something new, they often end up on Wikipedia. With its cited sources, community norms, and over 2 decades of work by volunteer editors, it’s resisted the enshittification of the rest of the internet.
If we want to get our collections and knowledge into more peoples’ hands, this is where to do it - but there’s a lot to do.
Hear about Te Papa’s approach to professional development for Wikipedia, and how building a community of editors is turning small individual contributions into a wave of opportunities and impact.
