On Wednesday, 11 June 2025, the Rainbow Editathon took place at the student club dOUpě of the Faculty of Social Studies, University of Ostrava. The event was held as part of Ostrava Pride Month and was initiated by the Faculty. It was also supported by a Community Mini-Grant from Wikimedia Czech Republic.
The editathon focused on expanding Wikipedia with topics related to gender, sexual and relationship diversity. Participants created or improved articles about queer culture, Czech LGBTQ+ organizations, and media representation. New entries included Bears of Ostrava or the series Transparent, which inspired a Czech group of the same name.
The Faculty was represented by Karel Pavlica, and Wikimedia Czech Republic by Wikipedian Martin Strachoň, a notable figure in the Czech LGBT movement.
