Visualising Wikipedia is a visual analytics tool developed within the research project *“Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change: Assessing Online Open Content and Supporting Community Engagement. The Case of Wikipedia”* (2025–2029). The tool enables the exploration, analysis, and monitoring of groups of Wikipedia articles through interactive visualisations, supporting the work of Wikimedia volunteers, researchers, and institutions. Its goal is to provide evidence-based insights into content coverage, quality, gaps, and dynamics, facilitating informed interventions and community engagement. The current prototype focuses on Wikipedia articles in English, Spanish, French, and Italian related to climate change and sustainability. It is designed to assess the current state of coverage of these topics and to test targeted interventions. Once fully developed, the tool will be adaptable to any subject area by leveraging Wikidata and Wikipedia categories, with the possibility to extend it to additional languages. Developed in collaboration with the Wiki Education Impact Visualizer, it will be released as an interactive dashboard comparable to the existing Wikimedia event dashboard. The research project is led by the SUPSI in collaboration with the Wiki Education Foundation, Wikimedistas de Uruguay, Wiki in Africa, and Open Climate Campaign, with the endorsement of Wikimedia Italia, the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF, grant 10.003.183), and the active involvement of Wikipedia and Wikidata volunteers. The research team includes Iolanda Pensa (principal investigator and concept), Giovanni Profeta (coordinator and designer), Chiara Somajni, Florence Devouard, Sage Ross, Nicole Schwitter, Cristian Scapozza, Florian Maximilian Meier, and Ahmed Amine Hassou.
