[[Wikipedian]]s and other [[Wikimedian]]s organize meetups to socialize and collaborate around the common goal of sharing information. Anyone can organize a meetup.  Although it helps to plan a bit and have some awareness of how Wikipedia works, no one needs permission to have a meetup and there is no requirement for anyone to have a meetup in a certain way.

Some meetups are in person but online programs and events are great too. Some meetups are for discussing Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects, while others have the goal of convening people to edit. Many meetups have at least one experienced Wikipedia editor present, but lots of meetups have organized and accomplished their goals without an experienced editor attending.

This page is used as a starting point for Wikipedians organising meetups, and subpages are used for finalising the details once a meetup has been agreed. For meetings in other languages/places please use the [[Wikipedia:interlanguage links |interlanguage links]] from this page.
