2024:Program/Wikimedia quiz
Session title: Wikimedia quiz
- Session type: Meetup / performance / event
- Track: Wild Ideas
- Language: en
A Wikimedia quiz that would be suitable for participants of all abilities.
Description
[edit | edit source]The proposal is a Wikimedia quiz, designed to be suitable for participants of all abilities. Questions would be designed to
- be as language and project-independent as possible
- have a wide standard deviation overall in terms of difficulty level, so there would be some questions that even a newcomer would be able to access, while a few would be designed to stretch the very best participants.
This is not an event designed with socialisation in mind (such as a pub quiz). The focus is on the questions.
The quiz specification is available at https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Leaderboard/WMF_Quiz_2024
- How does your session relate to the event theme, Collaboration of the Open?
The event is designed to bring participants of all levels and experience together in a common quiz, where they'll get the chance to showcase what they do know, and learn what they don't,
- What is the experience level needed for the audience for your session?
Everyone can participate in this session
