This is the workshop page for the TetZooCon 2019 Wikipedia workshop, run by me on 20th October 2019 at Student Central, Malet Street, London. TetZooCon is a meeting of fans and researchers who follow Darren Naish's blog Tetrapod Zoology. TetZooCon 2019 was the sixth annual meetup, and the first to involve a Wikipedian.
