NavWiki
Welcome
Hi! Welcome to the NavWiki Project. This project teaches people how to add and edit content on Wikipedia and its sister projects such as Wikimedia Commons.
You may want to read the short introduction to NavWiki that is below. When you are ready to access a module, please click the "Published Modules" link that is at the top of this page.
Click this text to see a list of links to help pages for a variety of language editions of Wikipedia, and also links to help pages for Commons, Wikidata, and other sites.
NavWiki is in development, and it doesn't currently offer comprehensive training for new contributors, but some wikis have their own training programs. Click the "Help" link at the top of the page to see links to help pages. NavWiki may offer more comprehensive training in the future!
If you have a question or comment regarding NavWiki resources, then please post on the NavWiki talk page.
Short introduction to NavWiki
Who can use NavWiki?
NavWiki is designed for people who want to contribute to Wikipedia and are not part of a formal group such as a GLAM program or education program. Formal groups often have their own ways of training new users. However, NavWiki products may be helpful to these people also!
