Wikidata:Event organizers

Event organizers on Wikidata are users who have access to extra features from the CampaignEvents extension on Wikidata. This allows them to manage their events, WikiProjects, or other on-wiki activities more easily. Event organizers who use the tools from the extension have the following abilities:

Create an event page in the event namespace
Add users (with the organizer right) as co-organizers of an event
Enable registration on event pages that they created
Collect information on participant demographics, if they agree to a clickwrap agreement
- Participants can answer optional questions when registering on: Gender, age, profession, comfort level in contributing to Wikimedia projects, and if they are a part of any Wikimedia affiliates
Edit event registration information
Disable event registration on event page
See who registered for the event and when they registered
Remove participants from the participant list
Send emails to registered participants
Generate invitation lists

Recommended requirements for rights

The following are recommended requirements for users to be granted event organizer rights. These criteria serve as a guideline and may evolve based on community agreement or consensus:

Required for all applicants:
- No active blocks on Wikidata
- Must have read and understood the instructions on how to use the Event registration tool or watched the video guide series on Commons
- Must have made themselves familiar with Wikidata's Notability Policy. When organizing events targeted towards users not previously familiar with Wikidata, and where the participants will be editing as part of the event, they must make sure to make the event participants aware of the existence of this policy and to consult it if they want to add new items.
Additionally, you must meet one of these requirements:
- Experience organizing Wiki event. If you have experience organizing Wiki event, give clear examples of events you have organized or helped with, either within or outside of Wikidata. This should include links to relevant events as proof. These could be added to the "reason" section of the request template.
- You are a Wikimedia affiliate staff member. An endorsement from your affiliate to support your application will be required.
- You have received a Wikimedia grant for an event
