About This Course
The Wikimedia Core Curriculum is a set of instructional modules designed to teach complete beginners the basic skills and principles needed to successfully integrate into the Wikipedia editing community.
It focuses on teaching the core content policies, because understanding those is the key difference between people who encounter a lot of friction in Wikipedia (and eventually give up or get blocked) and those who thrive and remain active and valued volunteers.
These modules were designed by the Community Development team at the Wikimedia Foundation with valuable input from Wikimedians. They're under constant iteration and we welcome any feedback at comdevteam@wikimedia.org
This module introduces the course and sets expectations.
Requirements
The course assumes proficiency with grammatically correct written English, a general high school education, and regular access to the Internet. No other prior knowledge is required.
