Wikipedia is one of the first sources that anyone looks up for any important or unknown information as well as for more information about a known topic. The main purpose of Wikipedia is sharing information from all branches of knowledge. Wikipedia data is also used by NLP practitioners for building language models.

This tutorial aims to guide volunteers in making valuable contributions to the Wikimedia ecosystem
