About Inspire Campaigns

Inspire Campaigns are month-long events to focus collaborative efforts on some of the most pressing challenges of the Wikimedia movement. This is a time to share and create new ideas.

After the campaign, grants are available to turn these ideas into collective action. For projects that do not need funding, planning and logistical support are available.





What is the current theme?

In this campaign, we invite your ideas on how to measure the health of your editing community.

Healthy projects promote high quality content creation, respectful collaboration, efficient workflows, and effective conflict resolution. Patterns of experiences that result in editor frustration, poor editor retention, broken workflows, and unresolved conflicts can be seen as unhealthy.

As a movement, Wikimedians have always measured aspects of their communities. Data points such as editor activity levels, new users, and editor retention are regularly collected. While these metrics provide some useful indications about the health of a project, they do not give major insights into challenges and specific areas needing improvement.

We need to collect data that evaluate projects holistically, like overall editing stats, but we also need to measure the smaller, specific circumstances and processes that editors encounter in their work.



If you have ideas on how to measure community health, please share them during the current campaign!
