Ada Jakubowska
Senior Technical Support Specialist, Wikimedia Polska.
I joined a team of Wikimedia Polska empoyees in January 2023. My job is to provide tech, oragnisational and administrative support for the WMPL emoplyees and whole community of wiki volunteers. A few tasks I’m right now up to along with the support team are building an on-boarding platform for newcomers, organising contents or wikimedian’s meetings. I’m working in cooperation with the edu team as well on the Wikischool site and courses for teachers. I’m always there, where my help is needed.
Sessions
Entering the vast ecosystem of Wikipedia can be daunting for newcomers. Recognizing this, Wikimedia Polska and Grow Uperion have embarked on an innovative collaboration to make Wikipedia more accessible and engaging for beginners. "Leveling Up Wikipedia: A Gamification Approach for Newcomers" is a session that explores this unique partnership between a seasoned non-governmental organization and a dynamic startup. Together, they have developed a gamification platform designed to ease the learning curve for new Wikipedia contributors, making the process of contributing to the encyclopedia more intuitive and rewarding.
