Welcome to WikiProject 48toInfinity. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of women in Malawi and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please add yourself as a participant in the project, inquire on the talk page, and see the to-do list, below.

Goals

• to improve the coverage of women in Malawi on English wikipedia, commons and Wikidata
• to provide an on-wiki talk space, in conjunction with periodic events, for building a 48toInfinity community of editors in Malawi, the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

Events

Upcoming Events

• ?

Past Events

• 29 July 2026: Photography by Ulemu Nkhoma of the Malawi Parliamentary Women's Caucus. 68 images added to Commons here
• 31 July 2026: Edinburgh-Lilongwe editathon. Hybrid event co-hosted by the Gender and Justice Unit and the University of Edinburgh. In collaboration with the Scotland Malawi Partnership, the Malawi Scotland Partnership, Motokazi, and Rotaract. Training by User:Stinglehammer. Onboarded 13 new editors. 55 pages edited or improved.
• 26 August 2026: Women's football in Malawi editathon. 5 new pages, 2 new templates, a new category; multiple pages improved.

Editing advice

• For some Malawi topics much of the coverage appearing first in web search is from Facebook, which is not usually accepted as a reliable source in English Wikipedia. A useful trick is to restrict search to particular publications. For example, this search about women's football restricts results to the Nyasa Times website.

Clean-up
