There’s a lot that goes into documenting sport beyond the final score.

Right now, 15 mentees are going through the Wiki Loves Sport 2026 mentorship, learning how to contribute to Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons, while also building skills in photography, documentation, and digital storytelling.

And our aim os for better visibility of Ugandan sports, built by a community that understands it.

Busitema University joins the Wiki University Clubs Initiative.

A new chapter for student leadership and open knowledge begins on campus.

Through the Wiki Club, students will learn how to research, verify information, and contribute to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms. They will also build digital skills while helping close local knowledge gaps about Uganda and their communities.

Knowledge grows when more voices take part.

For a long time, contributing in many Ugandan languages meant starting from zero.

That’s beginning to shift.

With Sunflower by Sunbird AI, Runyankole Wikipedia is growing through a balance of technology and community effort where AI supports the process, but people remain at the center.

Editors are spending less time starting, and more time refining, verifying, and making sure the language is represented accurately.

This is how local knowledge grows, with the right tools, and the right people behind them.
