What if students could help build the dictionary they use?

Wiktionary allows learners to write definitions, add examples, and contribute to real-world language resources.

Our latest Diff explores how this works in practice.

Would you try this approach? Let us know!

Hi Let’s Connectors,

Welcome to the April Let’s Connect Connectathon. We know we had to make a date change, and we hope to see you Friday! It's an opportunity for all Let's Connect participants to meet and mingle in a relaxed environment, discussing more casual topics of interest.

This April's Connectathon theme: “Beyond the Username: Life, Burnout & Taking a Step Back” will take place on Friday, April 10th, 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM UTC. This connectathon is designed to pause the “work” and focus on the well-being of the contributors. We will move away from technical tasks to talk about who we are when we log off, how we navigate the “Wiki-guilt” of being inactive, and how we can identify the early warning signs of burnout. This connectathon is about retention through empathy.

This session will be held via Zoom. The meeting link is available at: https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/87977870278.

Today in Abuja, we celebrate more than an event; we celebrate a movement.

For over 7 years, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria and the Embassy of Sweden in Nigeria have built a strong partnership through the WikiGap initiative advancing gender equity and amplifying women’s voices on Wikipedia.

From our very first gathering in 2018 to today’s WikiGap Nigeria Symposium, this journey has grown into a thriving community of women editors, leaders and changemakers bridging the gender gap in knowledge.

We are honored to host distinguished guests including Her Excellency the Swedish Ambassador, Senator Natasha Akpoti and other inspiring voices who continue to shape this impact.

Join us LIVE on zoom:
- 10:00 AM (GMT+1)
- https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81016225825?pwd=afteB1wwNZm9Hzo3MbcQb8nMJOfWCn.1

Be part of the conversation wherever you are. Together, we continue to document, empower and amplify women’s stories one edit at a time.
