Editors working at a previous event

If you're interested, we have regular Wikimedia meetups here in Ōtautahi—our next one is on Sunday 24 May! We also have a local local taskforce that edits articles related to Christchurch.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or place {{Help me}} on this page and someone will drop by to help. ~~~~
