Small wiki toolkits?
 * Landing page; then "starter kit" you probably want to do XYZ, as a subpage.
 * "That one doc per topic to read if you want to learn basic stuff yourself" vs "Materials for teaching skills to others"
 * Remove list of "past events" stuff at bottom, because irrelevant for readers?
 * Watch a 90min video with insufficient contrast?
 * Task-orientated?
 * Category:Small_wiki_toolkits on Commons, list on meta, duplication, ...
 * Boxes, images, good structures
 * Boxes as placeholders - Help us create this item!
 * Do not translate this page yet! template...

What is this about?
How to support people in smaller wikis? By learning and sharing technical skills!

What you should read
These are recommendations for smaller wikis, for example gadgets which you should have on your wiki as they make life easier for everybody in your community. You likely want to look at them at some point.

 Use Wikimedia APIs in your code to query data
 * Read the Phabricator help

 Customize the main page

Your feedback is welcome!  Change the configuration of your wiki

 Deploy your first tool on Toolforge
 * First follow the Gerrit tutorial
 * Then follow the specific instructions

 Learn Lua, for example to get data from Wikidata into infobox templates

Box1
 * This welcomes improvements.

Teach others
If you are already a bit technical and want more people to have technical knowledge, here is presentation material which you can use in workshops to teach people technical skills.

If you have an idea for building local technical capacity or you have developed a toolkit on a technical topic relevant for small wikis, please get in touch.

Ask your technical questions
Is something unclear? Please ask! However, unfortunately we cannot offer (yet) the "one place" where you will definitely receive an answer to your question. Good places to ask are usually the Support desk on mediawiki.org, some mailing lists and IRC chat channels, or the talk pages of the links above after you have checked that the talk page has actually been active lately.

How can you help with this initiative?
Are you interested in workshops, virtual events, video tutorials, or interested in exchanging problems and challenges in smaller wiki communities?

Join our group! TODO: But how and where? Add a comment on the talk page? Use a Telegram group?

In an ideal world, we "slice" topics into 10-15min video tutorials. With English subtitles. And link to a guide how to translate. And classify them as A2, B1, C3. If you want to go deeper, here is a 90min video.
