Auckland Museum Wiki Workplan 2020-21
This year the Museum aims to focus on three broad themes: Enhancement, Engagement and Enrichment. This work will be partly foundational, tidying up data and imagery already uploaded to Wikimedia and Wikipedia, partly based on strengthening relationships with the Wikimedia community, as well as adding some new images and data to Wiki projects:

Engage with the Wiki community in person and online. This will involve quarterly events onsite – either edit-a-thons or meetups (tbc COVID) and reaching out to online volunteers who have used Museum collections on Wikipedia and Wikimedia.

Enhance data in Wikipedia & Wikimedia. Fix broken links and investigate enhancing internal reporting and analytics from Wikipedia.

Enrich Wikimedia and Wikidata with new data. Upload new data for staff profiles, Museum publications, Museum research into Wikidata, and add new Museum publicity images to Wikimedia.

In taking this approach the Museum is seeking to increase engagement on various Wikimedia platforms focusing on local and global communities, both online and on-site. The end goal is to pivot towards a strategic approach that contributes Museum collections and expertise to increase engagement and contributes to Wikipedia's goals of making knowledge free, open and accessible for all.
