Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/301

In March 2024, Women in Red wants to make it easier to find women and non-binary people on Wikipedia. '''This is a new event! We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating redirects and adding categories and wikilinks to make it easier to find women.'''

Here are some ways you can make it easier to find women:


 * Add categories including relevant subcategories of Category:Women
 * Add wikilinks on other pages to the page such as a relevant list of people (e.g. "List of women writers", "List of [nationality] writers"), or check the Find Link tool and see if you can find her on other pages
 * Create redirects from alternative names (e.g. her performance name, birth name, pseudonym) (see information about redirects here)

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to work on articles or add new articles about any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the topics of the month or our comprehensive #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:
 * to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia (in an easier way than creating new biographies!)
 * to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works.

Useful tips and links
For this event, you'll be working on existing articles so we don't have our usual lists of redlinks.

Useful tips for a starting point:
 * Guidance: You can find Wikipedia's guidance on redirects here, guidance on categories here and guidance on wikilinking here. If you have any questions or are finding anything confusing, post on the Women in Red talk page and experienced editors will be happy to help you.
 * Surnames: Adding someone to the relevant surname page (or making a redirect from her surname if she's the only name-holder) is really useful. It helps the reader who only knows a surname, and reminds people that there are Janes and Georginas in among all the Johns and Georges. For examples of a surname page, see Hanson (surname), List of people with surname Miller or List of people with surname Peña.
 * Checking for redirects: To find out whether an article already has existing redirects, click on "What links here" (likely on the right-hand side of the screen, under Tools) and then look for them. It helps if you've installed the userscript which displays all redirects in green, User:Anomie/linkclassifier, as you can then see redirects easily, but isn't essential.
 * For more guidance: Read the essay on Writing women into the encyclopedia describing how writing about women on Wikipedia doesn't stop after you've created a biography. This essay gives great suggestions on additional categories to add, where to add links, and more.

Here are some links that can help you identify articles to work on, and feel free to add more:


 * Articles needing additional categories to help identify articles that are missing categories
 * Orphaned articles about women artists
 * Orphaned articles about women scientists
 * Orphaned articles about women writers
 * Orphaned articles about women's history
 * Look at articles created in past WiR Editathons Talkpage suggestion to adopt-an-editathon
