Note: many examples of successful campaigns have been focused on Wikipedia or Commons campaigns. We have seen variations of each of many of the campaign types above in WikiData, WikiSource, Wiktionary and WikiQuote. 

Campaigns like the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/SheSaid" target="[object Object]">SheSaid Campaign</a> or various <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_proofreading_contests" target="[object Object]">WikiSource contests</a> have been successful at growing participation on the non-Wikipedia wikis, and often are good places to start.

Unlike Wikipedias or Commons, the smaller editing communities and less complex editorial policies of the wikis frequently make the wikis more welcoming for newcomers. However, having smaller wikis can introduce challenges as well.  

For example, on small language WikiSources or WikiQuotes, there may not be a large number of experienced editors who can review and format the quality of content. Or, if the wiki does not have an established editorial community, the small language wiki may not have editorial practices appropriate for its context.

Wikidata can be both a prelude to a campaign on other wikis or a campaigning activity in and of itself. By using Wikidata to populate a list of topics on a strategic knowledge gap, local Wikidata campaigns can help increase future content creation.
