Session
The Helpdesk supports Wikimedians in implementing large scale GLAM collaborations. Since its inception, it has supported volunteers in large batch uploads of medical illustrations, affiliates in running Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments based on Wikidata and GLAM partners on how to make batch uploads in the best ways. Anyone can receive support from the Helpdesk – in this session we will explain how the Helpdesk works and how it will develop ahead. We will also explain how working groups will be created to support the work of the Helpdesk, and how Wikimedians worldwide can join the work of these Working Groups.
