Metabase is a wiki, a linked, structured knowledge base hosted on Wikibase Cloud, developed by Wikimedia Sverige as part of the Content Partnerships Hub initiative.
The goal of Metabase is to collect information about the activities done and the resources produced by the international Wikimedia movement, with an initial focus on resources connected to content partnerships. This topic is both vast and relevant to many actors in the Wikimedia movement, and also has a natural connection to our capacity building efforts within the Content Partnerships Hub.

- MEOW
MEOW (Metabase Educational Open Works) is an easy way to browse the resources in Metabase. You don't need to know SPARQL or how Wikibase works.
In MEOW, you can:
- search and filter resources by language, type, keyword, author and publication year
- get an overview of everything that's been published on a particular topic
- identify resources that need additional data
- export results in CSV format
- share a link to a specific filtered view
ABOUT
- What is Metabase?
Metabase is a shared, searchable catalog of what the global Wikimedia movement has done. Information about documents (e.g. reports, articles, presentations) and events (e.g. workshops, conferences, edit-a-thons) is collected as Linked Open Data. Metabase is hosted on Wikibase Cloud, running on the same software as Wikidata, and free for everyone to access and edit.
- What problem is it intended to solve?
The Wikimedia movement's knowledge is multilingual, constantly evolving and scattered around many platforms: Meta Wiki, Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia in different languages, blogs and websites. This means capacity building resources can be hard to find.
- Who is it for?
Metabase is for anyone working in and developing the Wikimedia movement: affiliate staff and volunteers planning projects, trainers looking for existing material, newcomers and experienced Wikimedians.
- How can communities use it?
Metabase can be used to answer questions such as "where have there been edit-a-thons about art?" or "what presentations about artificial intelligence have been held at Wikimania"? Affiliates can use Metabase to document their work, such as organized events or published annual reports, in a way that makes accessing it easy for others.
- What is available now?
Metabase contains over 28.000 items (fall 2026), covering a variety of topics - Diff and This Month in GLAM posts, educational resources, events organized by a number of affiliates. A couple Wikimania and GLAM-Wiki conferences are covered in full, with complete lists of sessions and associated resources.
- How is new information added?
The Wikimedia Sverige team is working on adding data in topic-focused batches, such as conference programs or newsletter archives. There is also a growing number of volunteers adding data relevant to their affiliate or country. Anyone can join us.
