In the framework of the celebration of the International LGBT Pride Day (28 June), last Saturday 14 June 2025, from Wikisphere and in coordination with Medialab Slaughterhouse (@medialabMM) in Madrid, dedicated a Day make visible on Wikipedia, by creating and translating articles, biographies of relevant lesbians and lesbian-themed works.

On this occasion, we dedicate our efforts to the creation and translation of articles from other languages into Spanish Many important profiles that were already created on the English Wikipedia were missing. Although there are still many biographies to be created and translated, we did a great job of making these women, organizations and publications visible in the free encyclopedia.

This activity was organized within the framework of the international campaign Wiki Loves Pride, driven by Wikimedia LGBT (@wmlgbt.org), a group of users who support the LGBT+ community and represent LGBT+ content in Wikimedia projects and with whom we regularly collaborate in the creation of content for the Wikiproject:LGBT.
