What are volunteer editors of Wikipedia commonly called?

Volunteer editors of Wikipedia are commonly called Wikipedians. The term covers people who create, expand, copyedit, patrol, source, translate, or otherwise maintain Wikipedia articles and related pages.

Wikipedians do not form a single formal club or professional guild. They are part of a large online community that coordinates through article talk pages, user talk pages, noticeboards, and project discussions. Some edit under registered usernames, while others contribute without logging in and are identified only by an IP address.

The label is broader than “administrator.” Administrators are experienced volunteers entrusted with additional technical tools, but most Wikipedians are ordinary contributors. The term is also distinct from “Wikimedian,” which can refer more broadly to contributors, organizers, or supporters across Wikimedia projects such as Commons, Wikidata, and Wikiquote.
