Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.

Please help translate to your language
Hi all,
Volunteers in the
2022 Board of Trustees election
are invited to
vote for statements to use in the Election Compass
. You can vote for the statements you would like to see included in the Election Compass on Meta-wiki.
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/disagree/neutral). 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: Volunteers 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

Movement Strategy and Governance

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
اؠڈِٹ
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
اؠڈِٹ
[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?
اؠڈِٹ
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
اؠڈِٹ
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,

Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the
Web team
working on the new skin,
Vector 2022
We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment.
We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week
. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to
reach out to us
and we can help make one.
We invite you to
get involved in the project
. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you!

Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the
Movement Charter Drafting Committee
(MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page
here
on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it
here
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three
“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter"
sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:
Asia/Pacific
: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (
your local time
). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa
: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (
your local time
). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
North and South America/ Western Europe
: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (
your local time
). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the
Meta page
you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become
Movement Charter Ambassadors
(MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages.
Regional facilitators
from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up
here
. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.

The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians.
Movement Strategy Implementation Grants
support projects that take the current state of a
Movement Strategy Initiative
and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this
community engagement package
helpful.
The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.
If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your
regional facilitators
to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on
this page
to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee
اؠڈِٹ
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
More languages
Please help translate to your language
Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.
About the Ombuds commission
The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of
CheckUser
and
Oversight
(also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles,
see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki
Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve
two-year terms
(note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
About the Case Review Committee
The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role,
see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki
We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the
terms of the Committee charter
. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve
two-year terms
(note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
Applying to join either of these groups
Members are required to sign the
Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information
and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the
access to non-public information policy
and the
Foundation privacy policy
). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.
If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above,
please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca
wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal
wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:
Your primary projects
Languages you speak/write
Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
Any other information you think is relevant
The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

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.
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.

Hello
Kashmiri Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
⧼Please help translate⧽
to your language.
The
WMF Language team
is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the
Section translation
tool in Kashmiri Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:
Give us your feedback
Ask us questions
Tell us how to improve it.
Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.
Background information
Content Translation
has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February 2021 in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and provide feedback to make it better.
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.
Kashmiri Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since it has Content Translation tool enabled by default. Also, some of your community members have
requested for the tool
We plan to enable the tool in the coming week if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:
As a reply to this message
On
the project talk page
Try the tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in
our testing instance
. Once it is enabled on Kashmiri Wikipedia, you’ll have access to
with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.
Provide feedback
Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:
The tool
What you think about our plans to enable it
Your ideas for improving the tool.
Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback.

Dear @
UOzurumba (WMF)
Thanks for this amazing news. I have tested it on Test wiki. I don't find a way to add new sections to the articles that I have created on test wiki. Checking the in-progress sections doesn't allow me to search the translations that i have made. The language search option in it doesn't allow me to search for my language. Can you guide me how can i add a new section to the article that I created on test wiki. Thankyou.

Hello

I think I can help you:
Step 1:
Click on the "

" button, it will bring you to where you see the "+ New translation" button.
Step 2:
Click on the "
+ New translation
" button. That will take you to the search space and below it, you will find a list of your Recently translated sections (written as "Recently edited by you").
You should find the articles you are looking for below. I hope this helps you. Let me know if it works. Thank you!

Suppose you still can't add new sections to your translated article. In that case, the reason will be that the suggested sections are based on the contents from the actual (production) Wikipedia. For example, if there is no article for Paneer in Kashmiri, the tool will allow you to create one. However, if you do so in the test server, the tool still acts as if the article does not exist because it does not exist on the Kashmiri Wikipedia

Hello,
As follow-up to
the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines
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
sign up on the Meta-Wiki page
, or contact ucocproject
wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023.

Automatic citations based on ISBN are broken
اؠڈِٹ
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.

Hello
Kashmiri Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
⧼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 is set as optional; in your Wikipedia, so you can choose not to use it as your preferred initial translator. If you decide to use this service, you can select "MinT" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu, where you will find other existing machine translation services on the sidebar.
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 optional. However, we would want your community to:
use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service; and
please provide feedback
about its quality and ask any questions about this addition.
We look forward to you using this open-source addition to the Content Translations tool.
Thank you!

Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them,
you can opt out
. If you are
using the gadgets
Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.
Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.

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 Kashmiri 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 end of January 2024.
Thank you for your feedback.

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
اؠڈِٹ
Apologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to
make reusing references easier
. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen.
More information here
Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
Compensation is available
Sessions will be held in January and February.
Sign up here if you are interested.
Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you,

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2024
writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 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

Apologies for writing in English. If you can translate this message, that would be much appreciated.
Hi. As announced some weeks ago
] [
, Wikimedia Deutschland’s
Technical Wishes
team introduced
Reference Previews
to many wikis, including this one. This feature shows popups for references in the article text.
While this new feature is already usable on your wiki, most people here are not seeing it yet because your wiki has set
a gadget as the default
for previewing references. We plan to remove the default flag from the gadget on your wiki soon. This means:
The new default for reference popups on your wiki will be Reference Previews.
However, if you want to keep using the gadget, you can still enable it in
your personal settings
The benefit of having Reference Previews as the default is that the user experience will be consistent across wikis and with the
Page Previews feature
, and that the software will be easier to maintain overall.
This change is planned for February 14. If you have concerns about this change,
please let us know on this talk page
by February 12. – Kind regards,

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.

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on
20 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 20 March 2024
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.

Hello
Kashmiri 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 Kashmiri 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 Kashmiri language from the language selector or the article's footer (as shown in the media files below).
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.

Dear @

Thankyou for informing us about this feature. I have tried it and it gives good results in case of city and village related articles. I am hopeful it will help readers to read articles in Kashmiri that are not existing on Ks Wiki. I was hoping if we have a feature of from which readers can review or make slight changes in it and then publish. It will also help this wiki grow and also encourage readers to turn editors. Thankyou.

Thank you @
511KeV
for your feedback.
At the moment, the alternative we provide is to write a human-created translation of the contents with Content Translation which also has an entry point from the language selector. This does not cover the use-case of making a small, quick fix when finding an issue in a machine translated content. We have plans to support this with community-provided translations (more details in
this ticket
). In this way, users can make a correction to the specific translation of a sentence, and that correction will be incorporated to 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, but it is not a trivial effort, so it will still take some time. Please, feel free to subscribe to the linked .ticket and share any comments or suggestions
Since there are no objections to having this feature, we will go ahead and enable it in this Wikipedia.

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.

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

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on
25 September
. The switch will start at
15:00 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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
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 25 September 2024
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.

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Kashmiri Wikipedia

Hello
Kashmiri 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 Kashmiri 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.

Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to
Initiate the discussions about India’s potential bid to host
Wikimania 2027
, 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
Meta page
and help make this vision a reality!

محترم

صاحب ، محترم
511KeV
صاحب اور دیگر فعال صارفین کی خدمت میں آداب عرض ہے۔
السلام علیکم،
میں آپ سے ایک نہایت اہم اور دلچسپ علمی منصوبے کے بارے میں بات کرنا چاہتا ہوں۔ میری خواہش ہے کہ کشمیری ویکیپیڈیا اور اردو ویکیپیڈیا کے درمیان ایک دوستانہ اور مشترکہ منصوبہ ترتیب دیا جائے، جس کا مقصد دونوں زبانوں اور ثقافتوں کو قریب لانا ہے۔
اس منصوبے کے تحت:
1. ثقافتی اور علمی مواد کی تخلیق:
کشمیری ویکیپیڈیا پر اردو زبان، ثقافت، تاریخ، اور اردو بولنے والے علاقوں سے متعلق معیاری مضامین لکھے جائیں گے۔ اور اس کے برعکس اردو ویکیپیڈیا پر کشمیری سے متعلق۔ الغرض ایک دوسرے سے متعلق سب کچھ۔
2. معیاری مواد کی بہتری:
موجودہ مضامین کو اپڈیٹ اور بہتر بنایا جائے گا تاکہ اردو ویکیپیڈیا اور کشمیری ویکیپیڈیا کا معیار بلند ہو۔
3. مشترکہ کوشش اور ہم آہنگی:
یہ منصوبہ دونوں ویکیپیڈیاؤں کے درمیان دوستانہ تعلقات کو مضبوط کرنے اور علم و فہم کے تبادلے کو فروغ دینے کے لیے ترتیب دیا جا رہا ہے۔
آپ کشمیری ویکیپیڈیا کے ایک فعال اور قابلِ احترام صارفین ہیں، اس لیے میں چاہتا ہوں کہ یہ تجویز سب سے پہلے آپ کے سامنے پیش کروں۔ اگر آپ اور کشمیری ویکیپیڈیا کی برادری اس منصوبے پر رضا مندی کا اظہار کریں، تو یہ ہمارے لیے ایک شاندار موقع ہوگا۔ آپ کی قیادت اور رہنمائی اس منصوبے کو کامیاب بنانے میں کلیدی کردار ادا کر سکتی ہے۔
اگر آپ اس منصوبے میں دلچسپی رکھتے ہیں تو براہ کرم اپنی قیمتی رائے اور تجاویز سے آگاہ کریں۔ میں آپ کی طرف سے مثبت جواب کا منتظر رہوں گا تاکہ ہم اس منصوبے کو عملی جامہ پہنا سکیں۔
والسلام،

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

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool

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!
On behalf of the Language and Product Localization team.

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on
19 March
. The switch 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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
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 19 March 2025
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.
Please share this information with your community.

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!
اؠڈِٹ
(Apologies for posting in English)
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the
old Graph extension
was disabled in 2023
due to security reasons
. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the
Charts extension
, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the
EasyTimeline extension
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from
May 6
. Please, consult
our page on MediaWiki.org
to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also
consult the documentation
about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the
project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org
, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the
talk page

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions
اؠڈِٹ
More languages
Please help translate to your language
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

Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension
اؠڈِٹ
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.

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
اؠڈِٹ
ٲخری تَبصُر:
27 جوٗن 2025
1 کَتھ
1 صٲرِف بَحَث مَنٛز
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
اؠڈِٹ
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
اؠڈِٹ
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
اؠڈِٹ
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.

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

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
اؠڈِٹ
ٲخری تَبصُر:
26 اَگست 2025
1 کَتھ
1 صٲرِف بَحَث مَنٛز
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

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 24 September 2025
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.

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.
Please share this information with your community.

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

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!

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.

Campaign Tools
The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as
Module:Itemgroup/list
).
The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property
P1846
, combined with the qualifier
P180
Q19571328
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property:
P14226
What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from
P14226
instead of the old
P1846
P180
structure. A
list of pages
was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on
P1846
to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old
P1846
statements will be removed after
May 1, 2026
. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help!
