Policies
edit
Each channel/group may have their own policies. Please show respect to others.
Public groups should use Wikidata property
Telegram username (P3789)
to record their group ID. Eg see
Chinese Wikipedia
But many groups prefer to stay private to avoid spam. In that case you can add a statement that P3789 is "unknown" with qualifier "described at URL" pointing to the relevant section below.
Eg see
Wikidata
that has two Telegram groups:
A public group
"wikidatachat"
(Wikidata Help) with fewer subscribers
A private group "Wikidata" with more subscribers, expressed as "unknown" value with qualifier that points to a section below with a "joinchat" link
You can also record
number of subscribers (P3744)
to allow users to pick more popular groups, as shown for
Wikidata
Wikimedia

Telegram List:
(updated August 2025)
This is a list to easily add about 12 of the links below (the publicly available channels and groups) with one click. They will automatically appear in your Telegram as a separate folder, and by default archived from your main display (you need to click "Archived chats" or the folder "Wikimedia TG" to access the list). Due to security limitation, private groups cannot be added to this list, so you need to add them. Once you click the link, you're free to unselect some of the channels/groups that you're not interested with. You will immediately be added/joined to those channels and groups. Be aware that some groups require Captcha, so you need to resolve the Captcha immediately or risk kicking from those groups.

Bots
edit
@wikilinksbot
is a bot that can be added to Telegram groups by anyone, that will link
[[wiki links]]
(including all
interwiki links
),
{{templates}}
and Wikidata entities like Q42 or P31 when they are used by chat members. The bot can be configured for each group to link to different wikis (even non-Wikimedia wikis), use different languages for Wikidata labels and more. Only group administrators or the bot maintainers can change the bot configuration for a group, but anyone can try out the options by starting
a private chat
with the bot. The full documentation can be found on the bot's
GitHub page
@wiki
is a Telegram bot that you can call in any chat/groups, just type @wiki, and followed by a search query (article title or general query).
Links not working?
edit
Many of the groups are not public to avoid spam. That means they can't be found by searching Telegram and you will need to use an invite link or have someone add you manually.
If the links on this page don't work in your browser, try opening them from within Telegram:
Copy the link on this page
Switch to Telegram
Find the "saved messages" section
Paste the link then send the message to send the link to yourself
Click the link in the message you just created
If that also doesn't work, you could search for the group "Wikimedia General chat" and ask in there if someone can help.
If a link on this page has expired, please let someone know so that it can be fixed!
