DCWC closing update

Three weeks ago, the 2026 Developing Countries WikiContest came to a close! After three months of competition, we have our winners. OpalYosutebito (submissions) comes in third with 525 points earned from a large series of good articles about pandas. Vestrian24Bio (submissions), with an immense number of submissions relating to cricket, comes in second with 1040 points. And our runner-up from last year makes their way to the top of the podium: Simongraham (submissions) takes gold with 1065 points, coming from another round of good articles about African jumping spiders!

The award for the most countries covered goes, once again, to Simongraham (submissions) who submitted articles under 30 flags! Vestrian24Bio (submissions) tops the chart for the most quality articles (23 good articles). Kisseran (submissions) and OpalYosutebito (submissions) tie for the award for most submissions under a single country; both made 14 submissions related to China. The award for most submissions related to women goes to GreenLipstickLesbian (submissions) with 12 biographies about women. We also have a tie for the most reviews! Both Dragonhawk12 (submissions) and Simongraham (submissions) submitted 23 reviews each for the category!

Multiple DCWC records were also broken! Simongraham (submissions) set the new record for the most total points, with 1100. Vestrian24Bio (submissions) set two inaugural records, earning the contest's first featured and good topics. GreenLipstickLesbian (submissions) submitted 29 In the news entries, 12 more than the previous record.

Among the participants' contributions were six FAs, five FLs, 132 GAs, and a number of DYKs, ITNs, and reviews of every kind—far more than last year! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed to a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year, and we look forward to seeing your contributions again! However, before that...

Before adding a category to an article, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter.

Sorry for my reverts of your recent edits! You may want to look at WP:NONDEF/WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:SUBCAT (which says "Pages (and subcategories) should not usually be placed in both a given category and any of its subcategories or parent categories"). Thank you, and apologies if I've messed anything up. ⚙ Crash >> Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:47, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Organhaver, Thank you for reaching out. I agree that WP:SUBCAT rules were notg followed by me; and I apologize for accidentally creating more work for you. However, in the case of Webfishing, I think that the category for games about mammals (or animals more broadly at the very least) is not trivial information as nearly every source cited in that article mentions that you play as animals in the game and even cites it as an important stylistic choice bearing homage to Animal Crossing. In addition; the Webfishing article mentions this aspect in the lead stating that "In Webfishing, players control an anthropomorphic animal avatar in a 3D world to catch different types of fish"; because of all of this I would consider the categories about animals to be relevant information. Perhaps a sub-category of this category titled something like "Video Games with animal protagonists" would be in order? I think that would be more specific. -Samoht27, forever with the workingfellow.

Thanks for the reply, and no worries. For Webfishing, Animal Crossing actually does not have the "games about mammals" category (...but, I could understand adding it to either article. No strong opinion.). I am a bit worried that the suggested category would be trivial, but I'm relatively new to category work and if you wish to, you should make it. ⚙ Crash >> Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 21:25, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!
