Attention workshop leaders/facilitators: This is a sample one day Wikipedia training workshop for new editors. New editors can use it as a self-training tool. Workshop facilitators can adapt it to their own time schedules, the interest of their trainees, etc. After a workshop facilitators can leave a link to the outline of their final agenda and any report on their workshop in the Archive section of Wikipedia talk:Workshop. (Feel free to create a Wikipedia:Workshop subpage for you and your participants to work their way through and link that page.
The purpose of this workshop is to acquaint new editors with the overall scope of Wikipedia, its policies and practices. We'll also explore handy links to its most useful features and resources, as well as do exercises to give you a taste of actual editing. Thus you will feel more comfortable when you start editing on your own. Don't worry if you do not finish all the exercises, you can always come back and do them later. Make sure you "watch" this page (click on the star above) if you are registered. Otherwise, you can find it at the workshop archive - or use the most current "one day workshop" linked from Wikipedia:Workshop.
