Wikipedia is an extraordinary attempt to build an electronic repository for the world’s knowledge – an online encyclopaedia with well over a million articles in English that anyone can edit.

In part 1, we showed how to make straightforward factual changes to articles, add original photos and make other simple adjustments.

In this Workshop, we’re going to demonstrate how anyone can create brand-new Wikipedia articles that visitors can read and add to. We’ll explain how to structure an article, how to ‘borrow’ formatting from other entries to make creation and editing easier and how to collaborate with others to improve the quality of your articles.

Follow the workshop here.
