A Wikimedia quiz that would be suitable for participants of all abilities.


The proposal is a Wikimedia quiz, designed to be suitable for participants of all abilities. Questions would be designed to

  • be as language and project-independent as possible
  • have a wide standard deviation overall in terms of difficulty level, so there would be some questions that even a newcomer would be able to access, while a few would be designed to stretch the very best participants.

This is not an event designed with socialisation in mind (such as a pub quiz). The focus is on the questions.

The quiz specification is available at https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Leaderboard/WMF_Quiz_2024
