Wikidata:Event Organizers
Event organizers on Wikidata are users who have access to extra features from the CampaignEvents extension on Wikidata. This allows them to manage their events, WikiProjects, or other on-wiki activities more easily. Event organizers who use the tools from the extension have the following abilities:
- Create an event page in the event namespace
- Add users (with the organizer right) as co-organizers of an event
- Enable registration on event pages that they created
- Collect information on participant demographics, if they agree to a clickwrap agreement
- Participants can answer optional questions when registering on: Gender, age, profession, comfort level in contributing to Wikimedia projects, and if they are a part of any Wikimedia affiliates
- Edit event registration information
- Disable event registration on event page
- See who registered for the event and when they registered
- Remove participants from the participant list
- Send emails to registered participants
- Generate invitation lists
