- Description and overall rationale
We are continuing to deliver the project, which was started in 2013-14. Living Paths is a project that aims to empower local communities with simple Wikipedia web-authoring skills in all coastal counties that border the Wales Coast Path. Wikipedia articles will be developed on the Wales Coast Path. Visitors and local people would benefit not only from better information but also a simple way of finding it. So far, communities in Wales find it difficult to share information about their locality such as historic buildings, circular paths, geographical features and other points of interest. The information is published in local history pamphlets but these are expensive to distribute therefore difficult to source. The project addresses this problem by teaching simple skills – how to edit on Wikipedia. Local people know best about interesting places to visit, sights to see and facilities available such as picnic areas, parking and safety issues.
The aim is to develop the content and community of Wicipedia Cymraeg and English Wikipedia in Wales through encouraging and training new editors.
- Timelines - i.e. what happens quarter by quarter
- Success criteria and Metrics - overall and quarter by quarter breakdown if relevant
These targets work towards higher level mertics around increasing quantity and quality of open content and developing a thriving and diverse volunteer community.
Improving quality:
- To have 2,000 notable places in Wales have a Welsh and English Wikipedia article
- To have >400 Wikipedia articles on different elements of the Path (eg Points of Interests) available. In total there will be 40% increase in the content of Welsh Wikipedia in comparison to before the project
- To have >500 listings and links to Wikivoyage created
Increasing participation:
- Publish and distribute 6,000 guides on editing Wicipedia
- Publish >25 Welsh training videos on Wicipedia Cymraeg
- Train representatives from >150 groups in wiki-skills (on wiki)
- Contact and work with 9 county councils which border the Coastal Path in order to spread the awareness of the project and broaden reach
- Risks
