The [[International Dunhuang Project]] group at the British Library, together with [[User:Andrew Gray|Andrew Gray]], the Wikipedian in Residence, ran a multi-day, multi-language, editing programme during late October 2012. This was focused on the broad theme of Central Asian history and archaeology, as well as material specific to the Dunhuang collections worldwide. Participants were drawn from IDP staff and colleagues in other departments of the British Library, as well as volunteer Wikipedians, three groups of students, and a number of participants from external institutions.

The event was sketched out in May, following the appointment of the BL's Wikipedian in Residence. The date of late October was settled on so as to fit with the run-up to the [http://idp.bl.uk/conference/index.html Archaeology of the Southern Taklamakan] conference in early November. An October date also made it more practical to bring in student groups, as there would be time to organise it prior to the next academic year.

The week began with a workshop on Monday 22nd at the University of Birmingham, where a group of students contributed material about [[Buddhism in Khotan|Buddhist sites in Khotan]], including [[Endere]], [[Balawaste]] and [[Farhad-beg-yailaki]].
