Ways to Contribute

Once you feel confident using and editing Wikipedia, there are many ways you can use these skills further.

You can book to attend upcoming workshops on MyEd or via the Wikimedia in Scotland page.

Digital Volunteering with Wikipedia

Improve a subject area on Wikipedia you are interested in: be it Scots Law, Gothic Literature, Climate Change, Covid-19 research, International Development, Women in STEM, Black History, LGBT history or anything else that appeals. Improve awareness of how knowledge gets online locally and understanding of your discipline globally.
