This page is the 2023 Annual Report for Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia (MYS) for the period of 10 September 2022 – 9 September 2023. This annual report is the sixth report submitted by the user group after its official formation and formal recognition on 10 September 2017.
Note: By default, all of the links written here are directed to Meta-Wiki pages. If not, then it will be directed to English Wikipedia pages, and some to Wikimedia Commons or third-party websites.
Background
[edit]This annual term (2022–2023) of the user group shows a spike increase in our activities, with a total of 24 meetups held in the past one year, the most within one year since our user group founding in 2017. We even saw the first meetup held in Sarawak and Putrajaya. Engagement with various institutions (namely educational institutions and embassies) had been greatly expanded. Focus was made to recruit more and more new editors and we also managed to established the first Wikimedia student club, based in Sabah.
