Talk:Wikimania
Alt text
@ProtoplasmaKid: The main page is all images, which means alt text is very important. This applies both screen readers, and for search results. You can see that the snippet at https://www.google.com/search?q=Wikimania+2015 is not very helpful.
I suggest simply putting the text in the images into caption attribute (this is basically any text that is not a particular parameter). See en:Wikipedia:Alternative_text_for_images. As one example, the header one can be:
[[File:HeaderWikimania2015 01.png|HeaderWikimania2015 01|link=|Wikimania is the international Wikimedia conference. Wikimania 2015 will be July 15-19, 2015, at Bibloteca Vasconcelos, in Mexico City]]

Signing to show interest in submissions
Noting here that the submissions are all on pages where the default editor is VisualEditor. I don't have an inherent problem with that, but "Sign with a hash and four tildes. (# ~~~~)." doesn't work. Risker (talk) 00:50, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- There is a script for adding signatures in VisualEdtor: User:Aude/sign.js which I enable in User:Aude/common.js Aude (talk) 04:29, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Need a new link, please
Hi! Could someone please edit the page so that the "News from the team" image actually links to Wikimania:News from the Team? Thank you! --Andycyca (WMMX, Wikimania 2015 Staff) | (Any questions?) 07:54, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Improvement suggestions
Hi all! I have thought about several things that could be improved regarding Wikimania at large, scholarship process and talk acceptance. By now I have several items that I think warrant discussion. I know that there is some sort of wrap-up on this very page after Wikimania but I feel that it does not have a large audience. Who would like to suggest a place where such discussion could have wide input? Somewhere on meta? Thanks, Pgallert (talk) 17:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Es un encuentro de programadores, al parecer de todas las ramas y lenguajes.

Would it be possible to turn on Visual Editor for this wiki? @ProtoplasmaKid: Thanks! -- Fuzheado (talk) 14:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Broken link?
Looks like the link for "Wikimedia Mexico" (Sponsors section) is broken, I believe the correct is mx.wikimedia.org, and not wikimedia.mx - Eduardogobi (talk) 21:17, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Videos
Hello, where's the videos of the conference? I can't find any of them. --167.57.34.156 00:09, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
- The (yet) few of them are here: Commons:Category:Wikimania 2015 videos. Regards --Schniggendiller (talk) 21:46, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

I added my pics here since Upload Wizard didn't seem to work for me. You're welcome to move them to Commons, of course! Sorry for the delay, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 12:21, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
