​Pada 2 Mei 2026, Kumpulan Komuniti Pengguna Wikimedia Malaysia dengan kerjasama Persatuan Kebudayaan Dusun Bundu Sabah telah melakar sejarah dalam usaha pemeliharaan bahasa menerusi penganjuran Bengkel Wikikamus Bahasa Dusun Bundu di Pusat Pendidikan Etnik Ranau, Sabah. Program pendigitalan bahasa ini mencatatkan kejayaan membanggakan apabila 25 peserta daripada pelbagai lapisan umur berjaya merekodkan 777 lema perbendaharaan kata baharu serta lebih 200 sebutan audio melalui platform Lingua Libre, sekali gus memecahkan sasaran awal yang ditetapkan. Walaupun program tersebut sempat digemparkan dengan insiden penemuan ular yang memerlukan pemantauan pihak Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM), bengkel berkenaan berjaya disempurnakan dengan matlamat utamanya untuk memartabatkan dan memelihara warisan bahasa Dusun di platform digital terbuka tercapai.

Student volunteers from International Islamic University Malaysia won the Gold Award at the 9th University in Action Symposium in Malaysia for their project WikiPusaka, which aims to preserve indigenous language and culture on Wikimedia projects.

These students took part in the university course we're teaching at the university, where they learn to become Wikimedia trainers and train rural villagers on projects such as Wiktionary, Lingua Libre, and Wikimedia Commons.

The students received support from the Rapid Fund grant provided by the Wikimedia Foundation and were able to execute the workshop throughout three days across three weeks.

Receiving the award in the picture is Brother Azri, who served as the programme manager to the group of 30 students.
