WikiLovesAfroLiterature
Wiki Loves AfroLiterature is a campaign to celebrate and improve Wikipedia content related to African literature, including notable African writers, novels, poetry, publishing houses, literary awards, and cultural movements. The campaign invites volunteers, students, librarians, literature enthusiasts, and experienced editors to help make African stories more visible online.
Running from November 1 to December 31, 2025, this campaign combines hands-on training, community support, and a focused editing sprint to improve knowledge equity and content depth for African topics. This project supports Wikimedia Movement Strategy goals: Knowledge Equity, Content Quality, and Capacity Building.
