        Supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and hosted by the Internet Archive, WikiCredCon 2025 brought together more than fifty people for three days of talks and tool-building in San Francisco on February 14–16, 2025.

        Participants included Wikipedians, leadership from the Wikimedia Foundation, technology policy experts, much of the Internet Archive’s technology team, technology journalists from major publications in the United States and Europe and members of the Credibility Coalition.

        The group discussed themes that included

        • Combating harassment and increasing attempts to dox editors
        • Enhancing efforts and systems that protect against disinformation
        • Building and incorporating citation tools for Wikipedia’s global network of volunteer contributors.

      • WikiCred's Focus

        Improving Media Literacy

        Develop educational resources and training materials that help both editors and readers critically evaluate sources and content.

        Enhancing Citation Transparency

        Explore ways to make Wikipedia’s references clearer and more transparent, through better citation notices or tools to independently verify sources.

        Tackling Disinformation

        Create and refine tools, bots, and dashboards that will help flag unreliable sources, correct misinformation, and verify citation quality.

        Empowering Editors

        Build tools to help editors access and use high-quality sources, integrate databases, and streamline citation processes, including more accurate metadata and citation bot improvements.

        Long-Term Collaboration

        Work with experts in disinformation to update Wikipedia’s guidelines and best practices, particularly for contentious or highly edited topics that are vulnerable to manipulation.
