This is a report of activities of Wiki Project Med Foundation for 2021. It is not a complete list of everything we have done this year but represents a highlight of our work. The compiling of this report — like much that we do — has been a group effort, and we encourage involvement by further individuals within the wider membership.
Projects and activities
MDWiki
MDWiki has received more than 150,000 edits since going live in July of 2020. Mirroring has been developed, such that any article missing from within MDWiki, will automatically show the latest version from English Wikipedia. More than 2,000 medical articles have been further developed on the site.
In 2021 we had 137,634 total visits from about 80,169 unique visitors. They viewed about 3.8M pages using a bandwidth of 102Gb. We have seen about a three fold increase in visits from the first half to the second half of the year.
NC Commons
We launched NC Commons in March of 2021, which accepts NC and ND licensed material. We have more than 1.1 million media files and this material can be directly used within MDWiki similar to the use of material from Commons.
In 2021 we say 6,270 visits from 3,431 unique visitors. This results in a total pages viewed of 99,182 and a bandwidth of 5.69 Gb.
Offline
We began making ZIMs of MDWiki in Apr of 2021. Fully functional versions, with and without video are available as of December 2021. This can be both downloaded via the WPM:IIAB control panel or via the Kiwix app. In 2021 we shipped 13 Internet in a Box to various parts of the world.
We have began updating other languages of the app to the new introductory page format. Examples in Japanese and Hindi.
Translation
We have a new translation dashboard and workflow which allowed the relaunch of the Translation Task Force in May of 2021. This allows easy translation of either the lead or the entire article from MDWiki to other languages of Wikipedia. Our leaderboard automatically tracks the impact of these efforts with more than 300 articles and 60,000 words translated, with work occurring in six languages, and readership of more than 100,000 pageviews.
VideoWiki
We have become the primary supporter of VidewoWiki. MDWiki has a specific namespace which occurs as a top tab between "Article" and "Talk" on each article for the video scripts. The tool was working in 18 languages before it broke. We are working to find a new developer and funds to get it fixed and running again.
