Bay Area wiki enthusiasts have been gathering since at least 2007. There is a solid community of contributors around here; maybe related to the proximity of Silicon Valley and all the tech-focused creativity that brings; the rich non-profit presence in the area; and the presence, since 2008, of the Wikimedia Foundation's global headquarters. A Bay Area Wikipedians User Group was proposed in 2024.

- Community event: The Life of a Wikipedia Editor, and How You Can Join. Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM, San Francisco Public Library, North Beach branch. Sit with a panel of experienced Wikipedia editors as they discuss some of the rewards and challenges of contributing to the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. There will be tips on how you can get involved and make your first edits, as well as plenty of time for both structured Q&A and informal meet and greet.
NEW: a wiki-tech working group will be meeting during the monthly meetup. Join us if you are a developer wanting to improve wiki projects, or an existing technical contributor.
What is the meetup like? We organize regular presentations, social times and working groups on themes common to our members. Current working groups include: [1] technical contributions; [2] Humanities and Wikimedia projects and [3] Wikidata x Maps ; [4] Bay Area topics.
