An educator framework for organizing Wikipedia editathons for computational biology. Bioinformatics. 2025 Jul 1;41(Supplement_1):i12-i20. DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf2161367-4803http://hdl.handle.net/10230/71390Motivation: Wikipedia is a vital open educational resource in computational biology; however, a significant knowledge gap exists between English and non-English Wikipedias. Reducing this knowledge gap via intensive editing events, or "editathons," would be beneficial in reducing language barriers that disadvantage learners whose native language is not English. Results: We present a framework to guide educators in organizing editathons for learners to improve and create relevant Wikipedia articles. As a case study, we present the results of an editathon held at the 2024 ISCB Latin America conference, in which ten new articles were created for the Spanish-language edition of Wikipedia. We also present a web tool, "compbio-on-wiki," which identifies relevant English Wikipedia articles missing in other languages. We demonstrate the value of editathons to expand the accessibility and visibility of computational biology content in multiple languages.
