Synopsis
The project will be a guided adventure tour on MediaWiki and MetaWiki to give users insight on “How to create userscript on Wikimedia projects” based upon 3-4 projects.
I have experience of the skills sets mentioned for the project. The Wikipedia Adventure is really a great project. I have always been an admirer of such guided adventure tools where users feel like they are just playing games and learning at the same time. Learning new things, creating something out of them and sharing my knowledge with someone has always been my biggest passion. I have been conducting several workshops and programs to empower other students and helping others learn is what I love to do. I am familiar with all the required skills set for this project and my creativity will surely help to complete this project in best way.
