Cwmhiraeth won the 2013 competition, becoming the first user to ever win the competition twice.At the very start of the new year, 2014's WikiCup competition began. As you read this, it's likely that the competition has only just started, and rules limiting points to content developed in 2014 mean that it can take a few weeks for most people to really start scoring – but this is part of the excitement, as competitors and followers wait to see who scores the first of each type of content, from the bread-and-butter of the competition, like did you knows and good articles, into some of the more obscure corners of Wikipedia, like featured portal candidates.
