What is a Wikithon? The name "Wikithon" is based on the term "hackathon" (an event in which computer programmers and others collaborate intensively on software projects). So by analogy, a Wikithon is an event in which content owners, community of practice members and others collaborate intensively on creating wiki content. Wikipedia call this an "editathon".
A Wikithon is therefore a special event for creating and editing Wiki content, which may last from a couple of hours to a day or more. The event may be co-located or it may be virtual. As a side benefit, the Wikithon often introduces many new people to the concept of the wiki.[1]
