There are many ways to share and access information, and sometimes even edit, when there is no internet. Which are they?

Wikimania celebrates collaboration, but what if we made space for the bold, the unfiltered, the provocative—with WikiLove? This lightning talk session invites Wikimedians to share “unpopular takes” or “wild ideas” about improving the movement. Whether it's appointing admins by lottery, questioning sacred cows, or challenging beloved slogans, the goal is to stir the pot—without spilling it.

Each speaker gets 5 minutes to present their idea. The only rule: be bold, be constructive, and don’t be mean. This session encourages respectful disruption, creative thinking, and a little bit of irreverence to spark deeper conversations. Come to laugh, cringe, cheer, or quietly nod in agreement. You might not agree with every idea, but you’ll leave thinking differently.

This could be done within the conference, or as a social activity in the evening, or some other slot.
