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.

@Awanshrestha1 ​We are sorry to say that we could not allocate a slot for you this time. Please do not consider the rejection to be an assessment of your proposal. We received over 100 quality applications, and we could only accept 10 students. We were not able to give all applicants a slot that would have deserved one, and these were some very tough decisions to make. Please know that you are still a valued member of our community and we by no means want to exclude you. Many students who we did not accept in 2020 have become Wikimedia maintainers, contractors and even GSoC students and mentors this year!

Your ideas and contributions to our projects are still welcome! As a next step, you could consider finishing up any pending pull requests or inform us that someone has to take them over. Here is the recommended place for you to get started as a newcomer: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers.

If you would still be eligible for GSoC next year, we look forward to your participation
