You, as a patroller or license reviewer, are eligible to request the new temporary account IP viewer right, if you need it to continue fighting vandalism and abuse on Commons. If you want to request the right, please file the request here. Please be aware that you also have to accept the Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy in your preferences.

Invitation to Join – Event Registration on Wikimedia Commons (WLF Office Hour)

Dear Event organizer,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m pleased to invite you to join our upcoming office-hour session: Event Registration on Wikimedia Commons, taking place on 28 November 2025 at 16:00 UTC via Zoom.

As an organiser who already holds the “Event Organizer” rights on Wikimedia Commons and is using or exploring the Event Registration tool, we would greatly appreciate your participation.

The session will be led by Giovanna Fontenelle (WMF), Program Officer for Culture and Heritage at the Wikimedia Foundation.

Purpose of the session:

• To walk through the workflow of enabling registration for your events on CampaignEvents extension (via the Event Registration tool) on Event Center.
• To share best practices, tips, and examples from event organisers within the Wikimedia movement.
• To provide a space for questions, peer-sharing and support for organisers implementing registration workflows.

Next steps:

Please register yourself at event page to confirm your participation. We will then send the meeting agenda, access link, and any preparatory materials.

Feel free to share or forward this invitation to any fellow organisers in your network who hold the organiser rights.

Thank you for considering this invitation. We’re excited to bring together our organiser community and walk through the registration workflow together.

Warm regards,

On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team
