I would like to apply as an administrator for this new wiki to secure the accuracy of entries, check the proper orthography of words, and secure this wiki from any sort of possible vandalism or false information. I have been an active editor of this wiki since its incubator stage and filed the final request for its approval. Thank you very much. --

I work on Bikol orthography and published an orthography guide book Antabay sa Ortograpiya nin Bikol Sentral in 2012. With Master's degree in Filipino and a member of Parasurat Bikolnon writers organization, I have become a Wiktionarian and am in fact the original proponent of Bikol Wiktionary, Bikol Wikipedia and Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia many years ago, I have a clear understanding of what a Wiktionary should be like. For example, meanings should have references and entries need to be in simple form as in no affixes specially in verbs. I would like to focus on these areas. Most importantly, I wish to give a sense of balance in the community of a project which should be open to ideas and to new editors from different backgrounds. Being a Wikimedian, I believe in collaboration rather than competition. --

Personally, for someone who just joined the Bikol Community of the Wikimedia movement last year (2020), I became an active editor in the Bikol Wikipedia and Bikol Wiktionary through the PH-WC User Group's initiative. Finally, I believe that those three (3) qualifications I stated above are enough for him to be considered as an administrator of the Bikol Wiktionary. --

Hello, I recently received a grant funding from the WMF to head a
campaign
(Dec 2021-July 2022) for the Bikol Wiktionary. In this regard I would like to request administrator and interface administrator access to apply necessary changes and updates in the said platform especially in the language codes, spelling guide, diacritics, introductory grammar, entry organization, categories, and audio. These were based on your suggestions and feedback (see above). My goal is to make the platform more systematic, accessible, economical, and collaborative. This will also ensure a smoother and a more active participation from editors (both old and new) and readers which I have invited to participate in the 6-month campaign to revitalize Bikol Wiktionary. Cheers and padagos lang!

Hello. To facilitate
steward
granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the
standard bot policy
on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables
global bots
on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from
Project:Bot policy
, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read
the text at Meta-Wiki
before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

Latest comment:

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the
Wikimedia Foundation Web team
In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average
87% of active logged-in users
of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to
any other skins
. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

Vector legacy (current default)

About the skin
baguhon
[Why is a change necessary]
The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects.
The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective]
The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the
Community Wishlist Surveys
, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins.
We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%
. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results]
The skin introduces a
series of changes
that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Try it out]
Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in
your preferences
and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
How can editors change and customize this skin?
baguhon
It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out
our repository
for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.
Our plan
baguhon
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022
. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
Request for more time to discuss the change
If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the
talk page of the project
. We will gladly answer! Also,

Wikimedia Youth Commemorates the International Youth Day 2022 in an exciting way in the Philippines

The
Wiki Advocates Philippines
joined young people from around the world in a series of thrilling activities to commemorate the International Youth Day (IYD) 2022 in the Wikimedia movement. The International Youth Day 2022 was organized globally by the
WikiVibrance Project
, a youth-focused initiative, to celebrate young people's voices, actions, and initiatives as well as their meaningful engagement in the Wikimedia movement. The WikiVibrance Project recognizes that young Wikimedians are part of the about 1.8 billion young people taking action to solve pressing issues in different corners of the world today and as such should celebrate their presence and contributions in building free knowledge on Wikimedia projects.
Wiki Vibrance Logo
As part of the exciting activities to mark the commemoration, we spotlighted
Sheryl Jean B. Bengua
and
Daphne "Daph" Boncodin
from the Philippines community alongside other young wikimedians from Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Sudan for their commitment in advancing open knowledge. The IYD 2022 coordinator in Philippines,
Anthony Diaz
shared inspiring stories of the work of Filipino young people with featured young wikimedians from South Sudan, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Ukraine, Kenya, Palestine, Spain, Nigeria, Philippines, and Uganda during a session on 13th August at the 2022 Wikimania conference.
In September 2022, young wikimedians from Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, Philippines, Nigeria Benin, and South Sudan kickstarted a month-long campaign to improve content related to this year's IYD theme "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages
on wikimedia projects. They focused on improving content on age-related diseases (eg diabetes, stroke, depression among others); youth and adult movements related to human rights; policies/laws/acts related to age discrimination in employment, healthcare; legal working & retirement age; youth exclusion; child labour; youth development; ageism as a whole; women and senior citizens in politics, health, employment sector; health risks posed by occupations taken by youths and senior citizens; child labor and rights; obstacles to employment or human right issues associated with Ageism among others.
Still in the spirit of the celebration, the spotlighted youth and lead organizer of IYD 2022 (Sheryl Jean B. Bengua, Daphne "Daph" Boncodin and Anthony Diaz) in Philippines will be joining a Winners Call (a social space call) on 30th September, 2022 to network with other recognized young people from the participating countries.
Through the International Youth Day 2022 activities, we hope to draw attention to the work of young wikimedians in the Philippines in growing knowledge on Wikimedia projects as well as their capacity on growing knowledge in the digital space. Recognizing the importance of this, we invite Filipino youth to join us on the WikiVibrance Project. You can follow the official social media handles @WikiVibrance on twitter, Instagram and Facebook to stay updated.
About WikiVibrance Project
The WikiVibrance Project aims at acknowledging and celebrating young Wikimedians advancing open knowledge through community engagement during international, regional and national youth days in order to create synergies, share knowledge and build capacities to contribute content of selected thematic areas across Wikimedia projects.
The core team members are:

The
Wikimedia Foundation
tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on
1 March
. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in
MediaWiki
, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on
Wednesday 1 March 2023
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects
Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

Hello! I would like to inform the community that I will be applying for an administrator in this project and possibly with an interface administrator rights as well. I would like to continue fixing the modules and templates that I am still working on. There are still a lot of things in this project that need some fixing, others some updating. Thank you in advance for your support.

I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
Community members in good standing

Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either

Hello there,
We are glad to announce
the new members and advisors of the Elections Committee

Elections Committee

After an open nomination process, the strongest candidates spoke with the Board and four candidates were asked to join the Elections Committee. Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.
Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the
Universal Code of Conduct
work. The
Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter
is now ready for your review.
The
Enforcement Guidelines
require a
Building Committee
form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the
Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)
. Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?

• Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the
Wikimedia Foundation Web team
In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
Global preferences
If you prefer keeping the current skin
select "Vector legacy (2010)" on
the appearance tab of the global preferences
and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.
If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a
local
(but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English)
[Why is a change necessary]
When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways.
The old Vector does not meet their needs
[Objective]
The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the
Community Wishlist Surveys
, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins.
The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%
. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell]
The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Customize this skin]
It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out
the repository
for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The
Elections Committee
will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
June-August 2024: Campaign period
End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on
this Meta-wiki page
, and make your plan.
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this
Meta-wiki page
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak
(Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the
Charter Electoral Commission
is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As
communicated
by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on
July 9, 23:59 UTC
. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the
Wikimedia Movement Charter
ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these,
1,710
voted “yes”;
623
voted “no”; and
113
selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these,
93
voted “yes”;
18
voted “no”; and
18
selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted
not to ratify
the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv,
shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps
With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is
not ratified
We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.
The Charter Electoral Commission,

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
baguhon
Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on
the project page
We want your feedback
to make sure this feature works well for you:
Please try
the current state of development on beta wiki and

team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the
2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
Christel Steigenberger
Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
Victoria Doronina
Lorenzo Losa
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.

Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the
Parser Unification
project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the
Extension:ParserMigration
documentation.
There is
more information about our roll-out strategy
available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of
Abstract Wikipedia
: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at

The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
August 2025: Campaign period
August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page
[link]
Call for Questions
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related.

Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page

Thank you!

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
baguhon
Latest comment:
9 months ago
1 comment

Dear Wikimedia Community,
The
Community Affairs Committee (CAC)
of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned
the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)
to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki
projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose.
Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources
. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly,
failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones
. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
Wikispore
baguhon
The
application to consider Wikispore
was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided
not to recommend
Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows
better flexibility
and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
Wikinews
baguhon
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.
[1]
[2]
[3]
Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action
[4]
[5]
, see section 5
as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews
[6]
Initial metrics
compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
Options
mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
Feedback and next steps
baguhon
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages:
Public consultation about Wikispore
and
Public consultation about Wikinews
. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

Please, translate this message into your language.
Hi all, we want to let you know that
Wikifunctions
is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.
A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!
Please check out
these tutorials
for more details. You’re also invited to
create functions
that you find useful, or
ask for help from the Wikifunctions community
We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki (
here for VisualEditor messages
, and
here for the Wikifunctions interface proper
).
Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me
on my talk page

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
baguhon
Latest comment:

Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation
Product Safety and Integrity
team. We would like to announce that
we plan to enable
temporary accounts
for this wiki in the week of September 1
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
Why we are building temporary accounts
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
How temporary accounts work
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern:
~2025-12345-67
(a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
What does this mean for different groups of users?
For logged-out editors
This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who
meet the relevant requirements
will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
For community members interacting with logged-out editors
A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki
For patrollers
who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who
meet the requirements
will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range (
Special:IPContributions
). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the
IP Info
feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
For admins blocking logged-out editors
It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the
autoblock
option.
It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
Our requests for you, and next steps
If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on
testwiki
or
test2wiki
. If you are a volunteer developer,
read our documentation for developers
, and in particular, the section on
how your code might need to be updated
If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
Look at our
previous message
about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out
our FAQ
– you will find many useful answers there. You may also
look at the updates
(we have just posted one) and
subscribe to our new newsletter
. If you'd like to talk to me (Szymon) off-wiki, you will find me on Discord and Telegram. Thank you!

Hello
. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from
Wikifunctions
and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then
please learn more and vote now
