Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Collaborative contributions

Overview

The Event Registration tool in the CampaignEvents extension has a new feature: Collaborative Contributions. With this feature, you can see the edits made collectively during an event or a group activity on the wikis. The edit data is visible on the Contributions tab of the EventDetails page for the event.

Data displayed on the wiki

Example of contributions tab of Event Registration (beta cluster, November 2025)

The Contributions tab currently displays:

• a summary view, with the number of:
  • participants
  • wikis edited
  • articles created
  • articles edited
  • total edit count
  • bytes changes
  • links changed
• a table view that displays data on every edit made, with the following sortable columns:
  • name of article edited (with link to article and a plus icon to indicate a newly created article)
  • wiki of the edit
  • username of editor (with link to user page)
  • timestamp of edit (with link to diff of edit)
  • bytes changed
  • actions column with a trash icon (if the editor viewing the page has the permission to remove an edit)

Global support

As a part of Event Registration, this is a global tool. This means that you can:

• View the Contributions tab on any wiki with the CampaignEvents extension. You don't need to go to the home wiki of the event to view the data.
• See contribution data from multiple wikis on the Contributions tab. So, for example, you can see contribution data for an event that targets Spanish Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, and Wikidata all on the same page.

Public and private registration support

All edits of publicly registered participants are visible to everyone who visits the Contributions tab. The edits of privately registered participants are visible to anyone who is able to see the the private participant data on the wikis, which is usually: the participant who made the edit, the organizers of the event, and wiki admins.

Ability to change edit associations

If you are the editor who made the edit, or if you are an organizer of the event, you can remove an edit association via the Actions column.

We also be implementing a method to manually add an individual edit via the EventDetails page soon in an upcoming release

Instructions

Below, we have provided instructions on how the feature works today. We will update this page as we continue to further develop the feature.

Organizers: How to set up collaborative contributions

Example of contributions tab of Event Registration (beta cluster, November 2025)

1. Create an event and choose to enable event registration (see instructions on how to do this).
2. When configuring event registration, ensure that:
   1. When selecting Event type, at least one of the options selected is a contribution event (Editing event, Media upload event, Backlog drive, or Contest)
   2. When selecting target wikis, either choose “Yes, open to all wikis” or select specific wikis. We strongly encourage you to pick specific wikis, since “Yes, open to all wikis” means that users will see the post-publication dialog on all wikis during the event time period.
   3. If the event is in person or online and in person, the event cannot be taking place in a country that is listed as “Not published” or “Higher risk” in the Wikimedia Foundation Country and Territory Protection List.
3. If all of the conditions in step 2 are met, you will see that “Show contribution statistics” is automatically toggled on for the event. However, if you do not want it on, you can turn it off.

Participants: How to associate edits with events

Example of selecting between multiple events for edit association on patchdemo

1. An editor needs to register for an event that has contribution statistics turned on.
2. The editor must then make an edit on a target wiki of the event during the event time period (i.e., between the start and end times of the event).
3. After they save the edit, they will see a post-publication dialog, which will ask if they want to associate the edit with the event. If they are registered for multiple events that the edit could be associated with, they will see a drop-down of options to select the appropriate event. They can only associate an edit with one event.
4. If they associate an edit with an event, the edit data will then be displayed in the Contributions tab of EventDetails. If they do not associate an edit with an event, they will not see the data in the Contributions tab of EventDetails.

Organizers & participantsː How to remove edits associations

If you are an organizer of the event, or if you are the person who made the edit, you can choose to remove an edit association from an event. Here is how you do this:

1. Go to the Contributions tab of EventDetails
2. Go to the Actions column. You will see that, for all of the edits that you have permission to remove, there will be a trash icon in the column. If you do not have the permission to remove any edits, you will not see the Actions column.
3. Click the trash icon for the edit you want to remove.
4. You will see a pop-up to confirm that you want to remove the edit.

Noteː We will also be releasing a feature improvement soon, which will allow you to manually add an edit to an event from the EventDetails page.

Participants: How to opt out of the post-publication dialog

If you do not want to see the post-publication dialog after you make an edit, you can do the following things:

• Unregister for the event. If you unregister, you will no longer see the post-publication dialog.
• Wait for the event to end. Once the event ends, you will no longer see the post-publication dialog.
• Contact the event organizer and ask them to toggle off contribution statistics. If they turn it off, you (and all event participants) will no longer see the post-publication dialog.

Noteː We will also be releasing a feature improvement soon, which will allow you to opt out of the post-publication dialog on a per-event basis.
