RemarksVision and Objectives

Deoband Community Wikimedia (abbreviated as DCW) is a recognized user-group affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Named after the Deoband Islamic seminary, DCW aims at improving Wikipedia and its sister projects with knowledge and information related to but not limited to global Muslim academia, scholarship, history and culture, at a global level, in any language.

Established on 31 July 2021, DCW was recognised by the Affiliation Committee on 16 January 2022. Its initiatives include DCW Conversation Hour, Heritage Lens, and collaborative projects such as Deoband Yoruba Collaborative Project and DCW-K Editathon. In January 2024, DCW briefly organised the first edition of Wiki Loves Muslim Academia, and initiated Train a Wikipedian as a pilot program in February 2025.
