The Ōtepoti Dunedin weekly meetups are a chance for Wiki people (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, and so on) to get together, get advice, get collaborations started. Everybody's welcome, beginners or experienced.
- Seminar Room 2, Central Library, University of Otago (look for the Wikipedia banner by the library's west entrance)
- Friday, 31 October 2025
- 12.30 to 1.30pm
Come along and get stuck into some wiki-work, or learn from other editors about the things they're working on.
Today we will also celebrate Wikidata's 13th birthday!
Attendees
Add your Wikipedia username if you have one. Tip: in Source editing you can just type asterisk-space-three tildes (* ~~~)
Apologies
What have we been up to?
- I've been updating Water pollution in the Canterbury Region, and have been adding recent info to Climate change in New Zealand - (Hillmenco (talk))
- We talked about Twinkle - it used to be a user script and is now a gadget, turned on under your preferences. It contains some handy things like rolling back several edits in a page version history.
Upcoming events
- Wikidatacon this weekend
Outcomes and tips
- We can try out a new Wikidata-based game, Knowledge Train while we eat birthday cake
- Also...find out the one thing every Wikipedia editor should know about Wikidata! (hint: this video) and then have a go at using Duplicity to match New Zealand articles to Wikidata (click the check Wikidata link after an article title)
- Call for proposals - got an idea for a project? Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand has funding! https://www.wikimedia.nz/partner-with-us/
- WikidataCon is running all weekend, you can attend online (some sessions are attendable in our time zone!) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Event:WikidataCon_2025
Next meetups
This is the last scheduled lunchtime meetup. Time to review -do we continue weekly, change to monthly, or something else?
