Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!

Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.81% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!

How to MassMessage edit

Instead of one big list, there are now three smaller lists for EN-WP MassMessaging:

Index of available opt-in/opt-out lists, but doesn't have any editor names so don't use it for MassMessaging.
Here is the link to the MassMessage page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MassMessage
Add one of these to the notice (the way it appears on this page, not in the editing view which shows 'code' and 'nowiki' brackets)
