Wikipedia is the 8th most popular website in the word, but the number of people who actually edit Wikipedia is much smaller. There are acknowledged areas of omission and bias, and learning to write for and edit Wikipedia requires an understanding of community norms.
This set of pages walks you through some simple games you can play that introduce you gently to Wikipedia, give you some fun ways of exploring where bias might exist, and some hints as how you might start contributing to the sum of all human knowledge.
As you explore Wikipedia, keep asking yourself what’s missing?
