Want Wikipedia or Wikimedia training?

All the Wikimedia projects are based on Mediawiki technology, so once you learn the basics of one, you can contribute to the others as well.

If you are interested in a training session for your community or workplace, please contact the office. Keep an eye on the events calendar and Wikimedia UK's Twitter feed; there may already be a training event in your area that you can ask to join.

We are especially keen to work:

Want to train others?

The for trainers section of this site includes session plans, materials, advice on training methods and details of past events.

If you see an event in the calendar that you'd like to help with, get in touch with Wikimedia UK's contact person for the event.
