DescriptionThe Foundation Global Advocacy team launched a public mapping project to collect all initiatives and tools that have been developed at the local level across Wikimedia projects, and make them easily accessible and available to the movement at large.

Crowdsourcing this information will allow us to support our community better, thereby improving Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects’ protection against disinformation. We need your help to do so.

If you are aware of an initiative, tool, training, or other form of community engagement around misinformation, disinformation, or information integrity, please let us know.

We are currently in the mapping process - we've had many conversations with folks across the movement and have compiled the resources they shared. NEXT we will share them (and we need help/input on how/where to share and host these learning materials); THEN we will identify a few of the tools or programmes that we came across and try to replicate these at scale to better counter disinformation (we will need folks to dedicate time to help is scale some of these selected projects).
