Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia is proud to share the collective impact of our recent workshops held in conjunction with Ukraine’s Cultural Diplomacy Month 2026. This year, our efforts spanned across both higher education and secondary school levels, reinforcing our commitment to bridging cultural gaps through open knowledge.
Bridging Cultures in Cyberjaya
On 23 April 2026, we returned to City University Malaysia, Cyberjaya, for our fourth consecutive year of collaboration. Our facilitators guided a diverse group of international students in translating 44 articles about Ukrainian heritage, cities, and prominent figures into seven languages, including Malay, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Bulgarian, and Spanish.
Local Voices from Sandakan
The initiative also reached East Malaysia, where students from SMK Sandakan took part in a dedicated edit-a-thon. These young editors focused on making Ukrainian culture accessible to local audiences by creating and translating 22 articles into Malay and other local languages.
A Collaborative Success
The Embassy of Ukraine in Malaysia has expressed its sincere appreciation to our coordinator, Mr. Mohd Taufik Rosman, for his leadership in mobilizing the SMK Sandakan students. As a gesture of gratitude, participants were treated to #Roshen products, celebrating a successful exchange of knowledge and culture.
We are honored to see these 66 new articles added to the global encyclopedia and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership next year.

​Sempena Bulan Asia Wikipedia tahun lalu, kami telah menganjurkan sebuah bengkel Wikimedia kepada mahasiswa Universiti Malaya (UM) pada 19 Disember 2025.

Dalam bengkel tersebut, kami mendedahkan cara menyunting di laman ensiklopedia bebas, Wikipedia dan memasukkan perkataan ke kamus bebas dalam talian, Wikikamus (Wiktionary).

Bengkel turut dijalankan secara serentak bersama rakan-rakan Wikimedia di Jepun, sempena jalinan Persahabatan Wikimedia Jepun-Malaysia.

Pada acara ini, Dr. Woo Wai Sheng dari Jabatan Bahasa-Bahasa Asia dan Eropah, Fakulti Bahasa dan Linguistik UM juga berkesempatan menyampaikan ucapan alu-aluan.

Acara ini turut mendapat sokongan Kedutaan Besar Jepun di Malaysia dan Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Jepun ini, dan telah berjaya menghasilkan 10 rencana baharu di Wikipedia dan memasukkan 391 perkataan bahasa Jepun ke Wikikamus.

Wikimedia Malaysia amat berbesar hati dengan kerjasama ini. Semoga dapat bersama-sama menyumbang pengetahuan untuk semua.

<![CDATA[Mak­ing know­ledge access­ible to every­one for 25 years | The Sun]]>Sun, 18 Jan 2026 16:00:00 GMThttp://wikimedia.org.my/penerbitan/mak-ing-know-ledge-access-ible-to-every-one-for-25-years-the-sun​Wiki­pe­dia high­lights Malay­sia achieve­ments, strong local read­er­ship, par­ti­cip­a­tion
​As of early 2026, Wikipedia has evolved from a "digital dream" into the backbone of the internet, now serving as a primary data source for AI and search engines. In Malaysia, the platform has seen massive growth in local language content, high readership, and international award-winning projects for indigenous language preservation.
Key Highlights (Malaysia Statistics & Achievements)
  • Readership Pulse: Between Jan 2024 and Nov 2025, Malaysia recorded an average of 94.53 million monthly views across all language editions.
  • Malay Wikipedia: Now hosts 435,698 articles and attracts 9 million unique visitors per month.
  • Active Community: Malaysia averages 1,276 monthly contributors, with over 400 specifically dedicated to the Malay site, producing roughly 53,000 edits per month.
  • Indigenous Success: The Kadazandusun Wikipedia is now a fully launched reality. The WikiKata project won the International Green Gown Award in October 2024 for its work in preserving endangered languages like Iban and Kadazandusun.
  • Combatting AI Bias: The article emphasizes that in the age of AI, "human-powered" knowledge is more critical than ever. Wikipedia is now one of the highest-quality datasets used to train Large Language Models (LLMs).

The 25th Anniversary Features
  • Digital Time Capsule: A resource where users can hear founder Jimmy Wales recount the site’s origin story.
  • Video Docuseries: A behind-the-scenes look at eight global volunteers, including those documenting hurricanes, medical doctors, and librarians.
  • Future Strategy: The Wikimedia Foundation is focusing on AI strategies that "put humans first" and closing knowledge gaps for the next generation.
