The WikiCup is a championship that takes place every year on Wikipedia. The cup is played and won by skill of editing. The purpose of the cup is to encourage content improvement and make editing on Wikipedia more fun. The 2012 WikiCup began on January 1; Signups for the 2012 WikiCup are now closed. Signups for next year's competition will open later this year.

The plan for the layout of the 2012 tournament is as follows (please note that points reset to zero at the end of each round):

• January 1 to February 26 – We start with one group of all contestants, with the top 64 from that group progressing. Signups closed in mid-February.
• March 1 to April 28 – 64 contestants left – 8 groups of 8, the top two in each pool progressing, as well as the top 16 of all remaining users.
• May 1 to June 28 – 32 contestants left – 4 groups of 8, the top two in each pool will progress, as well as the top eight of all remaining users.
• July 1 to August 29 – 16 contestants left – 2 groups of 8, the top two in each pool will progress, as well as the top four of all remaining users.
• September 1 to October 31 – 8 contestants left – 1 group of 8, the top one will win!

Prizes are awarded at the end of the WikiCup, for various categories. For contest results from previous years, please see 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

For the full rules clarifying for what points can be awarded, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. However, the spirit of the rules are more important than the letter, and the judges reserve the right to deny points to anyone deemed to be abusing the system, as well as remove persistently problematic users from the competition. The judges for the WikiCup are J Milburn (talk · contribs · email) and The ed17 (talk · contribs · email).

If you believe one of the contestants is abusing the spirit of the rules, intentionally submitting subpar articles with the aim of getting more WikiCup points, or anything similar, please contact one or both of the judges. They will look into the matter and take action if necessary.
