transfeminise Wikipedia!

Join us to learn how you can contribute to Wikipedia, the free, online encyclopedia, written and maintained by a community of volunteers. In these two sessions, we’ll be editing pages on Wikipedia relating to transfeminism and trans women, improving knowledge pathways and clearing up some facts!

Trainers from Wikimedia UK will give an overview of how to edit Wikipedia, why it is important and will help you get started on your Wikipedia editing journey. Everybody is welcome. No special skills are needed. Come with your curiosity! This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with experience alike. We’ll have a list of suggested articles to work on, but if you have something that you’d like to edit please bring that too!

The suggested articles have been drawn up by co-host and researcher Jaye Hudson from TgirlsonFilm, who works to dig up and document UK transfeminist history and trans life for zines, screenings, and community projects.

What you will need: – A Wikipedia account, made before the event starts. – A laptop (you can borrow one of ours) – That’s it! Snacks will be provided.
