    Tip of the month:

    • When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
      Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
      it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.

    Moving the needle: (statistics available via Humaniki tool)

    • 24 Mar 2025: 20.070% of biographies on EN-WP are about women (2,057,083, 412,857 women)
    • 27 Jan 2025: 20.031% (2,047,793 bios, 410,200 women)

    Thank you if you contributed one or more of the 2,657 articles during this period!
