Wikipe-tan is the mascot character for WikiProject Anime and manga, the Counter-Vandalism Unit, and Admin coaching (in which she is dressed like a stereotypical gym teacher); she was also a contender for the Wikipedia mascot. In addition, Wikimedia Hong Kong uses the images and cosplay of Wikipe-tan as their mascot, during their functions and promotions.
