Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026

Dear Wikimedian,

We thank you for taking an initiative to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2026 writing competition on your local Wikipedia.

The international campaign will run from 1 February to 31 March 2026 and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.

About the Campaign

Feminism and Folklore is a global writing initiative that complements the Wiki Loves Folklore photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the gender gap on Wikipedia by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and marginalized voices.

What Can Participants Write About?

Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:

• Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
• Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
• Women and queer figures in folklore
• Women in mythology and oral traditions
• Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
• Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
• Folk games, sports, and cultural practices

Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.

Checklist for Organizers

Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:

1. Create a local project page on your wiki (see sample)
2. Set up the campaign using the CampWiz tool
3. Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:
   • Campaign timeline
   • Local and international prizes
4. Request a site notice from local administrators (see sample)
5. Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the Meta project page

Campaign Tools

The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:

• Article List Generator by Topic – Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
• CampWiz – Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.

Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access the tools

Hi ZI Jony,

Is there a definite start date? I tried submitting Canal of Zubaidah (created February 18th) but the system would not accept it.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

@Crisco 1492, please try now. Technical issue has been fixed. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 21:51, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for dumping all of these on your talk page; I get the impression that the Wiki Loves Ramadan page is unmonitored. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:37, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

@Crisco 1492, we are sorry that we missed our to update earlier. On English Wikipedia, we are preferring creating new articles only. That’s why existing articles were not accepting by the tool. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 08:58, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026 and an English article Nyekar

Hello,

I have created two articles so far for the Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026 editathon. These are Padusan and Nyekar. There was an existing page Nyekar, which was used as a redirect to Balungan and I don't know why it was there because I don't see any relation to the subject. Anyway, I have edited the content on the old page. And this causes the page not to be treated as a new entry. Let me know your thoughts.

GreenRedFlag (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

@GreenRedFlag, I moved the page Nyekar to User:GreenRedFlag/Nyekar without leaving a redirect. Now you could copy the text from your subpage, and create Nyekar as new again. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 23:34, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks GreenRedFlag (talk) 13:22, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

DaniloDaysOfOurLives, thank you for your message and wish. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 17:23, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Your contribution has been instrumental in bridging the gender and folk gap on Wikipedia, and we truly appreciate your dedication to this important cause.

However, if you find that the number of articles is high and you require more time, please don't hesitate to inform us via email or on campaign Meta Wiki talk page. We are more than willing to approve an extension if needed.

Should you encounter any issues with the tools, please feel free to reach out to us on Telegram for assistance.

Your feedback and progress updates are crucial for us to improve the campaign and better understand your community's insights. Therefore, we kindly ask you to spare just an hour to collectively share your progress and achievements with us during our community feedback session.
