editathon

An editathon is a collaborative editing event, typically organized by Wikipedia or other wikis, where participants work together to improve the content of the wiki. These events are usually time-limited and can range from a few hours to a full day. Editathons are designed to encourage new contributors, improve existing articles, and create new ones. They often focus on specific topics or themes, such as a particular country, historical event, or scientific discipline. Participants can work on their own or in teams, using the wiki's editing tools to add, edit, or improve content. Editathons can be held in person, virtually, or as a combination of both. They are a popular way to engage the community and foster a sense of collaboration and shared purpose.
