Abstract




Wikiconferencia Colombia 2025
Wikiconferencia Colombia 2025

Foreword

The Proceedings of the WikiConf Colombia 2025, held on November 14, 2025, in Bogotá, Colombia, bring together abstracts dedicated to the study of Wikipedia and other wiki projects as significant phenomena within the contemporary scientific, educational, and information space.

Organized by Wikimedia Colombia, with the support of the Wikimedia Foundation, the conference gathered participants from Colombia and abroad and marked an important step in fostering a scholarly community focused on interdisciplinary research of open knowledge and wiki environments. The contributions, published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license, reflect a wide range of research topics, including digital commons, free culture, historical memory, biodiversity, and Indigenous languages, while also emphasizing the role of Wikipedia in transforming prevailing digital paradigms and advancing the principles of free culture.

WikiConf Colombia 2025 constitutes the annual meeting of the Wikimedia community in Colombia. This year’s edition, held in Bogotá, aims to foster critical discussions on transforming prevailing digital paradigms and advancing the principles of free culture. The conference convenes a diverse range of participants, including local community members, Wikimedia Colombia (WMCO) staff, national scholarship recipients, and guests, to exchange experiences, address emerging challenges, and collaboratively envision more open and participatory futures for the Wikimedia movement in Colombia.

The conference seeks to reflect on digital commons as collaborative practices that challenge both the privatization of the digital sphere and uncritical forms of automation. It aims to open a space for imagining freer and more solidaristic futures in which open culture, historical memory, biodiversity, and Indigenous languages occupy a central place.

Digital commons are woven through diversity: they emerge in collaboration with Indigenous, Afro-descendant, rural, and urban communities, through the exchange between ancestral knowledge and open, emerging technologies. WikiConf Colombia 2025 serves as a moment of recognition, collective learning, and the creation of new alliances.
