The Meeting

edit

Want to meet a Friendly Face first?

edit

We know it can be difficult for some people to walk into a group of strangers without knowing anyone. If you'd like to meet up with a friendly face before the meeting or to have a chat to see if this group is for you please contact Dianne on info @ wikimedia.nz Dianne will be overjoyed to introduce you to one of the group who will be available to meet up with you for coffee and chat. They can also be on hand to meet you prior to the meeting and walk in with you and introduce you to the group. Whatever will make you comfortable.

Agenda and Notes from Meeting

Introduction to meet up by organisers (if there are any newbies joining us)

edit

General welcome to any new folk who join us.


Updates from Meeting organisers, President or committee members

edit
  • Encouraging the editors and organisers to contribute to the draft community report for the year. It is six months into the year and we encourage you add to this. This report is really useful for WANZ to submit to Wikimedia Foundation as it gives more of a community view of the activities that are happening than the annual grant report. It is more comprehensive.

Future events

edit
If you're an event organiser, don't forget to add your event as a program to the Campaign Dashboard July 2024 - June 2025. The Dashboard is a key tracking tool for reporting back to Wikimedia Foundation and will help us ensure that we get funding in future years. If you are unsure how to add programs to the Campaign dashboard you can find further information here on how to create a new event dashboard and how to link it to the overall campaign dashboard. Alternatively contact: Ambrosia10 (talk) on her talk page for help.
If you're interested in organising a Wiki event, Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand (WANZ) provides support funding. Contact admin @ wikimedia.nz for more information on how to apply. It's really simple - we promise!

Content Projects that need help

edit
Project Contacts: DrThneed
  • Content: WikiProject New Zealand Women Photographers - A WANZ funded project being implemented at Te Papa by a group of Te Papa editors. Others welcome to join us. It builds on the research dataset released openly on data.govt.nz and the book Through Shaded Glass: Women and Photography in Aotearoa New zealand 1860 - 1960 published by Te Papa Press.

Anyone know of or organising any other events or content projects? Note here to let the group know.

Wiki News - add any news from the wider Wiki movement the group may be unaware of

edit
  • GLAMwiki Newsletter: [1] has New Zealand and other information that might be of interest to Wellington editors.
  • Wikimedia Commons structured data: The depicts statement. A new script has been created by TiagoLubiana to help those adding depicts statements to Wikimedia commons files. You install it to your Wikimedia Commons common.js page. See Ambrosia10's common.js page as an example here. You add the following line to your common.js page:

importScript('User:TiagoLubiana/hasDepicts.js');

This code installs an on/off box for the tool when you are in a Wikimedia Commons category and when the tool is switched on it will show either a green or red dot beneath each file in a particular category showing you which files have depicts statements.
