Hello | مرحباً بكم | Olá | Bonjour | Hola Wikimedia-L,
Let’s Connect <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect>would like to invite you to participate in our February learning clinic on: Strengthening Local-Language Admin Communities. The session will be in English, with simultaneous translation into Spanish, Portuguese, French and Arabic. Session date: Wednesday, February 25, 2026, from 17:00 to 19:00 UTC. Location(zoom): Registration link here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdz-AB2Vop7phl_AghGymL_4OLyl_qwK3Htw0-Pg4xyaDXEbQ/viewform> . Once you register, the Google Calendar invitation will be sent. 👉 What is this Learning Clinic for? Many smaller Wikipedias struggle to recruit and retain administrators, and admin rights processes vary across wikis. In this clinic, you will be introduced to the functionary roles across the Wikimedia ecosystem, learn how admin requests work on Wikipedia, and discuss best practices for sustaining these roles. 👉 What do you need to prepare? 🧠 Please review any of the following materials if possible before attending, and come with an open mind and a willingness to explore how you can strengthen the Admin process in your community. - Convening Users with Extended Rights to Discuss Safety, Privacy, and Tools during Wikimania 2025 – Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/05/01/convening-users-with-extended-rights-to-discuss-safety-privacy-and-tools-during-wikimania-2025/> - Wikimedia Research Showcase (Feb 2025): Where have all the admins gone? <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r88qrgi6ozA> - Research: Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition (Meta-Wiki) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Administrator_Recruitment,_Retention,_and_Attrition> - Wikimania panel: Where are all the Wikipedia administrators <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program/Where_are_all_the_Wikipedia_administrators%3F_A_panel_discussion_about_the_future_of_administrators_on_Wikipedia> ? Learning outcomes: - Participants will learn about the various functionary roles within the Wikimedia ecosystem. - Participants understand the admin-rights request process on local wikis (who approves requests and how it differs by language).
