The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.
The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.
There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?
Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions
Volunteers should:
Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner
Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up
here
to receive updates. You can use the
talk page
for questions about translation.

Hi all,
Community members are invited to
propose statements to use in the Election Compass
for the
2022 Board of Trustees election.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.
Regards,
Movement Strategy & Governance

Delay of Board of Trustees Election

Dear community members,
I am reaching out to you today with an update about the timing of the voting for the Board of Trustees election.
As many of you are already aware, this year we are offering an
Election Compass
to help voters identify the alignment of candidates on some key topics. Several candidates requested an extension of the character limitation on their responses expanding on their positions, and the Elections Committee felt their reasoning was consistent with the goals of a fair and equitable election process.
To ensure that the longer statements can be translated in time for the election, the Elections Committee and Board Selection Task Force decided to delay the opening of the Board of Trustees election by one week - a time proposed as ideal by staff working to support the election.
Although it is not expected that everyone will want to use the Election Compass to inform their voting decision, the Elections Committee felt it was more appropriate to open the voting period with essential translations for community members across languages to use if they wish to make this important decision.
The voting will open on August 23 at 00:00 UTC and close on September 6 at 23:59 UTC.
Best regards,
Matanya, on behalf of the Elections Committee

Dear Wikimedians,
Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023.
The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.
We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.
Here is a survey
form
to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on
this page
, if you support the idea.

Hello everyone,
The
Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee
is requesting comments regarding the
Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
. This review period will be open from
8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:
To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by
8 October 2022
. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.
Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta
, and a
comparison page in some languages.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revisions Guideline Talk Page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines.
Conversation hours
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published
here

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. --

Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the
Enforcement Guidelines
for the
Universal Code of Conduct
will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows
the March 2022 vote
, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s
Community Affairs Committee
requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led
Revisions Committee
worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed
here
, and a comparison of changes can be found
here
How to vote?
Beginning
January 17, 2023
, voting will be open.
This page on Meta-wiki
outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The
eligibility requirements
for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

Hello community members,
Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department
is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
The Terms of Use (ToU)
are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.
This update comes in response to several things:
Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct.
Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license.
Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing.
Bringing the Terms of Use in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Wikimedia Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act
As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held: the first on 2 March and the second on 4 April.
For further information, please consult:
The
proposed update of the ToU by comparison

feedback

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
᱑᱔:᱐᱐ 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.
GitLab
will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can
read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens.
Please share this information with your community.

by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). 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
Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
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

Apologies if this message does not reach you in your favorite language.
You can help translate it centrally at Meta
. Thanks for your help.
We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's
Editing team
is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.
This affects citations made with the
VisualEditor Automatic tab
, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on
refToolbar
. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.
You can keep updated on the situation
via Phabricator
, or by reading the next issues of
m:Tech News
. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.

MinT Machine Translation enabled and plans to deploy Content and Section Translation in Santali Wikipedia

{{int:Hello}}
Santali Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
{{int:Please help translate}}
to your language.
The WMF Language team has added a machine translation (MT) system supporting [
Content Translation] for the first time in your Wikipedia called MinT; you can use
MinT machine translation
when translating Wikipedia articles using the Content Translation tool.
The WMF Language team provides the MinT service. It is hosted in the Wikimedia Foundation Infrastructure with
neural machine translation
models that other organizations have released with an open-source license. MinT integrates translation based on
NLLB-200
and
OpusMT
and will replace those as separate options. This MT will be set as default in your Wikipedia. Still, you can choose not to use it by selecting "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.
Since MinT is hosted in the WMF Infrastructure and the models are open source, it adheres to Wikipedia's policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user and brand representation. You can find more information about the MinT Machine translation and the models on
this page
Please note that the use of the MinT MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:
use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
please provide feedback
about the service and its quality, and the service you prefer as default for your Wikipedia.
Plans to deploy the Content and Section translation tool
Now that you have Machine Translation support in your Wikipedia, We will enable the Content and Section translation by default to your Wikipedia if there are no objections from your community.
The
Section Translation
extends the capabilities of
Content Translation
to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:
Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones
Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device
After enabling it, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to try the current implementation of the Section Translation tool in
our testing instance
and raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on
the project talk page
We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content and Section Translation tool once it is enabled.
Thank you!

This is what we have been waiting for years for:
"""

I have tried the current implementation of the Section Translation tool in the Test Wikipedia. The tool was easy to use, and I have not experienced any lag so far, MinT translation was giving 70-80
% accurate translation which is totally ok as we also have to make manual suggestion.
Our wiki will soon turn 5 years old, and this will be a wonderful gift. We are also planning to organize an editathon by next week. I am really excited to use this tool in the upcoming editathon.!!
I am very thankful to the WMF Language team for their wonderful support and hard work in developing accessibility tools that make it easier for contributors to contribute to Wikipedia. I am also grateful to my active Santali Wikipedians for keeping this Wikipedia alive.

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.

conversation hours

Hello
Santali Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your native language,
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language team
wants to make
MinT
the default machine translation support in Santali Wikipedia
Content Translation
. MinT uses the
IndicTrans2
machine translation model, which recently has a new version.
Our proposal to set MinT as the default machine translation service in this Wikipedia will expose contributors to open source service by default and allow them to switch to other services if they prefer those services. Contributors can decide to switch to another translation service that is not default if they prefer the service, which will be helpful in analysing user preferences in the future.
The WMF Language team is requesting feedback from members of this community in this thread if making the MinT the default translation service is okay in Santali Wikipedia. If there are no objections to the above proposal. In that case, MinT will become the default machine translation in this Wikipedia by the 6th of February 2024.
Thank you for your feedback.

UOzurumba
Hi, @
UOzurumba (WMF)
I'm writing to share some feedback on the current MinT translation experience:
MinT without IndicTrans: While I recognize IndicTrans' potential, I find its current results inconsistent. For now, MinT without it delivers better quality translations.
Alternative option: I discovered Glosbe Translate (
), which seems to use an NLLB model and produces promising results.
Recommendations:
Revert to previous settings: Consider temporarily reverting to MinT without IndicTrans until its quality improves.
Option for model selection: Implement a user-selectable option between IndicTrans and NLLB (e.g., Glosbe) models.
Integrate Glosbe Translate: Explore integrating Glosbe Translate as an alternative model.
Thanks

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2024
writing competition from February 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a
Wiki Loves Folklore
gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
Set up a campaign on
CampWiz
tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
Request local admins for site notice.
Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the
meta project page
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the
Article List Generator by Topic
and
CampWiz
. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.
Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our
project page
. Feel free to contact us on our
meta talk page
or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

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.

Plans to enable MinT for Wiki readers in Santali Wikipedia

Hello
Santali Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language team
has been working on
MinT for Wiki Readers
. This feature will allow communities to access more content that is only available in other languages with machine translation in Wikipedia. We will be enabling the initial version of this feature first in Igbo Wikipedia, and your Wikipedia is the next to test and have this feature since it will be beneficial for reading content in other languages. For this, our team would like you to read about the feature and
test it
so you can:
Ask us questions
Tell us how to improve the feature
Give us your feedback on enabling it in your Wikipedia
About the feature
The MinT for Wiki Readers is a feature that will allow readers of Santali Wikipedia to expand their reading options and knowledge beyond the language they are familiar with in Wikipedia. For instance, if someone is interested in a topic or content that only exists in the Japanese language and the person is not familiar with the language. While using the mobile web version of Wikipedia, the reader can access the machine translation version of that content in the Santali language from the language selector or the article's footer (as shown in the media files below).
Language selector entry point.
Article footer entry point
These machine-generated translations of content are clearly identified as such, and the human-created content is surfaced and recommended if available.
This feature is in its initial development. It is an early and functional version, and many aspects will be improved based on your community member's feedback on what works and what can be improved to better support your needs as readers.
How to try the tool
Before we enable this feature in your Wikipedia by the 26th June 2024, we invite members of your community to try MinT for Wiki Readers in your Wikipedia at
Special:AutomaticTranslation
and give us early feedback in this thread or on
this talk page
. Our team would like to know your impression on:
How do you use the feature
Anything we should consider for our plans to enable it?
Your ideas for improving it.
We greatly appreciate your time and effort in testing this tool. We eagerly look forward to your valuable feedback and questions, which will be instrumental in the further development of this feature. Thank you.

Johar 🙏🙏 @
UOzurumba (WMF)
, Fantastic, sorry for replying late here. Love the new feature that translates any language articles to Santali! I'm thrilled to be an early adopter of the new automatic translation feature, especially for Santali content!. While I haven't been able to fully test it due to traveling through remote areas, I did manage a preliminary exploration, and I'm eager to share some initial thoughts.
The ability to seamlessly translate any article into Santali is incredibly impressive. This feature can bridge the gap for readers who want to consume content without actively contributing translations themselves. There are many articles which are only availabe in Santali, which may be read by others too. Great for readers who just want to enjoy content.
Here, I have got some creative ideas:
Give a Pop-up Notification: Explain what automatic translation is when someone opens a translated article. Mark these articles differently from regular ones to avoid confusion, maybe by changing background colour.
Improve Translations: readers can help improve translations, If possible to draft the current automatic translated article for future translation.
List: Create a list of article which were viewed as automated translation, so that more priority can be given to translate those article and increase viewership.
Eye Care Reminder: Add a pop-up reminding users to take breaks while reading. With the exciting prospect of this new feature, we can expect even more readers to delve into our content. To ensure their well-being during extended reading sessions, incorporating a gentle reminder to take breaks every 15 minutes would be a valuable addition. This revision removes the negative connotation of "addicted" and emphasizes the positive aspects of increased readership.
Thanks
Excited about this feature!

Thank you @
Rocky 734
, for sharing your ideas.
Your idea of having a Pop-up notification to explain automatic translation and marking the articles differently from the regular ones to avoid confusion was considered. We provided an icon and a label at the top and footer of articles to indicate they are automatic translations and not human-curated content, as shown below. Also, the footer label has a link for people to learn more about automatic translation.
A notice to learn more about the automatic translation
A label distinguishing the page from human-curated one.
Regarding your suggestion for readers to improve translations, currently, machine translations are provided by machine learning models, which cannot be updated immediately. For now, the alternative we provide is to write a human-curated translation of the contents with Content Translation. It does not cover the use-case of making a small, quick fix when finding an issue in machine-translated content. We have plans to support this with community-provided translations (more details in
this ticket
). In this way, users can make corrections to the specific translation of a sentence. That correction will be incorporated into a translation memory system, making it immediately available for future machine translation requests. Creating this system is exciting since it can help to improve machine translation quality. However, it is not a trivial effort, so it will still take some time.
We have noted your third and fourth suggestions.
Once again, thank you so much for your feedback; since there are no objections, we will enable the feature.

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

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.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Santali Wikipedia
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
ᱱᱟᱶᱟ ᱢᱚᱛᱟᱢᱚᱛ:
᱑ year ago
᱕ ᱢᱚᱛᱟᱢᱚᱛ ᱠᱚ

Hello
Santali Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language.
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language and Product Localization
team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.
The
Contribute
entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on
Edit discovery
, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Santali Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.
For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to
make the entry point optional for experienced contributors
who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.
We plan to enable it
on mobile
for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 20th November 2024.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!
On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.

Thank you All, for your feedback. Since there are no objections to having the "Contribute" entry point, we will enable it at the stipulated time in Santali Wikipedia.

, you won't be able to see the message string for now in translatewiki.net because it has not been enabled in your wiki. However, I have done a screen record to show you how to access it in translatewiki.net once it is enabled.

Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to
Initiate the discussions about India’s potential bid to host

, the annual international conference of the Wikimedia movement. This is a call to the community to express interest and share ideas for organizing this flagship event in India.
Having a consortium of a good number of country groups, recognised affiliates, thematic groups or regional leaders primarily from Asia for this purpose will ultimately strengthen our proposal from the region. This is the first step in a collaborative journey. We invite all interested community members to contribute to the discussion, share your thoughts, and help shape the vision for hosting Wikimania 2027 in India.
Your participation will ensure this effort reflects the strength and diversity of the Indian Wikimedia community. Please join the conversation on

Our aim is to seek input and assess the overall community sentiment and thoughts from the Indian community before we proceed further with the steps involved in submitting the formal EOI.
As part of the same, we are hosting an
open community call regarding India's Expression of Interest (EOI) to host Wikimania 2027
. This is an opportunity to gather your valuable feedback, opinions, and suggestions to shape a strong and inclusive proposal.
📅 Date: Wednesday, January 15th 2025
⏰ Time: 7pm-8pm IST
📍 Platform:
Your participation is key to ensuring the EOI reflects the collective aspirations and potential of the vibrant South Asian community.
Let’s join together to make this a milestone event for the Wikimedia movement in South Asia.
We look forward to your presence!
Warm regards,

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2025
writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a
Wiki Loves Folklore
gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
Set up a campaign on
CampWiz
tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
Request local admins for site notice.
Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the
meta project page
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the
Article List Generator by Topic
and
CampWiz
. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.
Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our
project page
. Feel free to contact us on our
meta talk page
or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2025 International Team

Hello
Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
Please help translate to your language
The
Language and Product Localization team
has improved the
Content Translation dashboard
to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device.
With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users now have access to the capabilities shown in the image below.
Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic).  Also, users can use translation to create new articles (as before) and expand existing articles section by section. You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard  in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.
In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.
We will implement
this improvement
on your wiki
on Monday, March 17th, 2025
and remove the current dashboard
by May 2025
Please reach out with any questions concerning the dashboard in this thread.
Thank you!

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
Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content
. Thank you in advance! --

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) 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 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.
[link]
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!

Hello everyone,
(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the
CampaignEvents extension
to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the
week of June 23rd
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
Event Registration
: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
Collaboration List
: A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at
Special:AllEvents
Invitation Lists
: A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
Note
: The extension comes with a new user right called
"Event Organizer"
, which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including
Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia
, and more (
See the full deployment list
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the
extension talkpage
. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you!

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
ᱱᱟᱶᱟ ᱢᱚᱛᱟᱢᱚᱛ:
᱙ months ago
᱑ ᱢᱚᱛᱟᱢᱚᱛ
᱑ ᱦᱚᱲ ᱜᱟᱞᱢᱟᱨᱟᱣ ᱨᱮ
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
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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.

Hello everyone, the
Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects
team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your
Watchlists
and
Recent Changes
lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the
Wikidata:Glossary
for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for
17.07.2025
, between
1300 - 1500 UTC
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this
project task page
. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated
Talk page
Thank you, -
Danny Benjafield (WMDE)

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon

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
at meta-wiki.
Thank you!

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 wiki. 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 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.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our
known issues
documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the

Feminism and Folklore 2026 starts soon
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Please help translate to your language
Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026
Dear Wiki Community,
We are pleased to invite Wikimedia communities, affiliates, and independent contributors to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2026
writing competition on your local Wikipedia.
The international campaign will run from
1 February to 31 March 2026
and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.
About the Campaign
Feminism and Folklore
is a global writing initiative that complements the
Wiki Loves Folklore
photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the
gender gap on Wikipedia
by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and marginalized voices.
What Can Participants Write About?
Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:
Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
Women and queer figures in folklore
Women in mythology and oral traditions
Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
Folk games, sports, and cultural practices
Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.
How to Sign Up as an Organizer
Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:
Create a local project page on your wiki
(see sample)
Set up the campaign using the
CampWiz
tool
Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:
Campaign timeline
Local and international prizes
Request a site notice from local administrators
(see sample)
Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the
Meta project page
Campaign Tools
The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:
Article List Generator by Topic
– Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
CampWiz
– Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.
Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

Our knowledge is spoken, not written. Help us change how Wikipedia cites them!

Johar to all Santali Wikimedians! Apologies for writing in English.
South Asia has nearly 800 languages, most of which are spoken, not written. The knowledge of these communities is oral — yet Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects require written citations. We are building a process that lets Wikimedians cite oral knowledge from Adivasi and other low-resourced language communities. We have documented oral histories in nearly 20 languages from India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Read our proposal and, if you support this work,
endorse
it.
Proposal Summary
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Proposal summary (read
full proposal
): This proposed 2nd phase (July 2026–June 2027) will build on a successful Phase 1 to bring oral histories from Indigenous and low-resourced South Asian languages into Wikimedia projects. The audio and video are community-reviewed and can be cited on Wikimedia projects as sources.
Problem we're addressing
Oral knowledge from Indigenous and minoritised language communities is largely absent from Wikimedia projects — not because it doesn't exist, but because there are no clear, trusted process to document, subtitle, and cite it.
Existing Wikimedia citation rules benefit written, institutionally published sources such as books, leaving oral traditions structurally excluded.
Communities with existing audio/video archives (radio programmes, field recordings) cannot use them on Wikipedia due to gaps in digitisation tools, subtitling capacity, and citation infrastructure.
Collaborating with Santali and other communities to organise Wiki Loves Languages (
ᱣᱤᱠᱤ ᱫᱩᱞᱟᱹᱲᱟᱜᱼᱟ ᱯᱟᱹᱨᱥᱤ ᱥᱟᱯᱟᱲᱟᱣ ᱒᱐᱒᱖
) campaign and improve Wikipedia content about languages
What we are building
Support OpenSpeaks Fellows across five language clusters (eastern, northern, and southern India; Nepal; Sri Lanka) to record, subtitle, review, and bring oral histories on Wikimedia Commons, and improve Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikisource.
Help pilot WikiVoice: experimental infrastructure (from the Wikimedia Futures Lab) for language archivists to publish oral knowledge and generate references for Wikimedia projects.
Explore AI-assisted speech-to-text for languages with legacy audio-video archives.
Produce open educational resources (OERs) on Meta/Wikiversity so other archivist-Wikimedians can replicate the model.
Timeline (July 2026–June 2027)
Q1
: Onboard fellows and partners; co-design WikiVoice roadmap; run FAIR–CARE training
Q2
: Begin documentation and digitisation pilots; start subtitling with AI-STT where appropriate
Q3
: Scale documentation across all clusters; test WikiVoice citation workflows
Q4
: Consolidate outputs; publish documentation; evaluate and plan for Year 3

Bhai
Thank you for the proposal, it looks good for community like Santali having low resoursce. It will be very much helpful if this project work on. Further I would suggest a online call on zoom or google for more understanding and plannings.

Johar everyone. Thanks much for joining the call last night. I got to learn the wonderful language documentation work Santali Wikimedians in Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and Bangladesh are doing. As some of you asked, sharing a few links that we discussed:
OpenSpeaks Archives
, the project page with details
framework
we've co-created to help with language documentation practices
guide
to help with captioning/subtitling
Tools
to help with various aspects of language documentation and archiving (preserving)
