In February of this year, since Wikisphere<\/strong> and in coordination with the Teatro de la Zarzuela<\/strong> (@teatrodelazarzuela<\/a>), we launched the course Women of Zarzuela: Edit on Wikipedia with a gender perspective<\/strong><\/a><\/em> on the platform Wikilearn<\/strong>. The aim was to develop the second edition of the project launched in 2025 on Women of Zarzuela<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/em> but taking one more step that would allow us to deepen the formation and knowledge of Wikipedia. We propose a one-quarter course<\/strong> with nine topics organized in three modules, combining asynchronous content in Wikilearn with synchronous sessions by Zoom for resolution of doubts, and a Virtual Shutdown Editatone<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the course, students learned to edit Wikipedia from scratch: From searching for reliable sources and researching in archives to writing and publishing complete biographies of historically invisible Spanish lyric women. They also worked on the encyclopedia's sister projects: uploading images to Wikimedia Commons and editing data on Wikidata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this edition, he has participated teachers and students of music subjects of ten Spanish universities and educational institutions<\/strong>: the Autonomous University of Madrid<\/strong> (UAM), the Complutense University of Madrid<\/strong> (UCM), the University of Castile-La Mancha<\/strong> (UCLM), the University of Granada<\/strong> (UGR), the University of Oviedo<\/strong> (UNIOVI), the University of Salamanca<\/strong> (USAL), the University of Santiago de Compostela<\/strong> (USC), the International University of La Rioja<\/strong> (UNIR), the Alfonso X The Wise University<\/strong> (UAX) and the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid<\/strong> (RCSMM). The objective was to involve researchers in the elaboration of biographies and train them in the use of digital technologies to edit Wikipedia, thus contributing to create an accessible and diverse knowledge community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this new edition of the project Women of Zarzuela<\/a><\/em><\/strong> we have made a qualitative and quantitative leap compared to the previous year and the results have exceeded our expectations<\/strong>: increased engagement as well as a longer and more comprehensive training process has led us to a new way of approaching content creation on Wikipedia by expert people, which demonstrates the potential of Wikilearn as a platform to scale this type of training projects<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although during the course, students did research to create, translate and improve articles of all kinds, as well as release images on Wikimedia Commons and contribute to the Wikidata database, we collect below the data on the Women of the Zarzuela<\/strong> to which it contributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
