Queering Wikipedia

• QW2024 trans-local events TBC

• Queering Wikipedia 2020 cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.
• Queering Wikipedia 2021 User Group Working Days
• Queering Wikipedia 2022 Meeting
• Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference

The conference and event series organizers recognize that various terms and acronyms are in use to represent diverse populations and communities within the spectra of sexualities and gender identities / expressions (ex: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, non-binary, two-spirit, third gender, LGBT+, LGBTQ+, LGBTQQ2IA*, QUILTBAG, SOGI, etc). The term “Queer” is used here to represent all who self-identify as members of these various communities and work toward solidarity for those affected by related discriminations.

While this event series is named “Queering Wikipedia”, it is intentionally inclusive of all Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, etc.)

We warmly encourage the use of "QW" in event names (like QW2023), to de-center Wikipedia and to advance more diverse work.
