This hands-on, interactive, in-person tutorial will provide an introduction to Wikifunctions. It will be co-organised with Nicolas Vigneron, user of Wikifunctions. We will first give a gentle, high-level overview of Wikifunctions. We will then lead the audience members in a set of introductory activities, each of which can be done through the wikifunctions.org site. These activities will include finding and calling existing functions; creating new functions, tests, and implementations; and editing existing functions, tests, and implementations.
Wikimania 2024 provides an outstanding and timely opportunity to raise awareness of Wikifunctions and accelerate the growth of its community. This hands-on, interactive, in-person tutorial will provide an ideal forum in which to make this happen. The workshop will be run conjunctly by the Wikifunctions team and Nicolas Vigneron, user of Wikifunctions.
We will first give a gentle, high-level overview of Wikifunctions, briefly describing its supported user-journeys and some background knowledge that's helpful in working with it. Following that, we will lead the audience members in a set of introductory activities, each of which can be done through the wikifunctions.org site. These activities will include finding and calling existing functions; creating new functions, tests, and implementations; and editing existing functions, tests, and implementations. If time permits, we will also touch on the topic of debugging functions under development.
As a key objective for Wikifunctions is accessibility to non-experts, the materials and activities will assume no prior knowledge of Wikifunctions or of programming. We aim for attendees to leave the tutorial feeling "at home" in the Wikifunctions UI, with a sense of fun and excitement around exploring and contributing to Wikifunctions.

Wikifunctions is an open, collaborative project. With this workshop, we want to teach and explore new paths to the collaborative creation and open sharing of functionality which has not been available before. It will be also a way to positively engage the Wikimedia community to join the Wikifunctions community.
