How the challenge works
Any Wikipedian with a named account (on any wiki) can participate. Two Wikipedians can form a team and participate jointly: this means you don’t have to be multilingual!
To participate you must sign up on the Users and Points page here. You must include a link to your talk page (it may be on any Wikipedia, but please test the link to make sure it works!).
The challenge is based on a points system, with the goal for each participant to gain as many points as possible. Details on barnstars and prizes can be found here.
