Help Needed – A project to grow content and attract more contributors in Nepali Wikipedia
नमस्कार Nepal Wikipedia,
We apologize that this message is not in your language. कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्.
The WMF Language and Product Localization team is planning to launch a campaign project to encourage more native speakers to contribute to your Wikipedia.
Our approach
We will invite native speakers through Nepali Wikipedia homepage to join a 3-week onboarding program in an Event registration page. This program will:
- Guide them step-by-step through an onboarding material on how to edit and use contribution tools to expand articles.
- Surface vital articles that the community has prioritized for improvement and editing tasks can be worked on to improve those articles.
Through this guided onboarding program we will see if this approach will increase contributions from new editors or less experienced editors in your Wikipedia. You can read more about the project here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Engage_native_speakers_to_improve_vital_content_in_small_language_Wikipedias#Hypothesis_WE2.1.5.
Tasks you can volunteer to help us with
To make this project successful, we need your community’s help with these key tasks:
- Translate the onboarding materials on this page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)/Sandbox/Event:_Vital_Knowledge_Drive_2026#Overview into Nepali.
- Set up a call-to-action message on your homepage using the translations. Admins are needed for this step. Instructions for the setup are on this page. @Biplab Anand and @Saroj, please can you help with this task?
- Create an Event Registration Page on Nepali Wikipedia, and insert the translated materials in it. Here is a sample of the event registration page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)/Sandbox/Event:_Vital_Knowledge_Drive_2026#Event:_Vital_Knowledge_Drive_2026
- Identify local Wikipedia articles or lists of articles needing improvement or missing in your Wikipedia. You might find inspiration in the "List of articles every Wikipedia should have". These articles are to be added into the Event page you will create. Our team will help generate links to contribution tools for the selected articles.
Timeline and Next Steps
Please, help us complete these tasks by March 20, 2026. We plan to launch the program on March 23, 2026.
We understand this is a big effort and truly appreciate any help you all can provide. Your support can help grow your community and make Nepali Wikipedia stronger.
Please let us know If your community is interested in this project and would help us with the tasks by replying on this thread.
Thank you for your time and support!
