Dobrý den!
Již nyní si můžete zapnout Narozeninový režim
. Rádi bychom vás informovali o důležitých změnách, které se týkají této funkce a k nimž se vaše wiki rozhodla připojit. Tyto úpravy proběhly po testování na beta clusteru a na Testovací Wiki a po ověření přístupnosti i pro osoby citlivé na pohybové efekty.
Podrobné informace najdete
zde
Mezi hlavní změny patří:
Seznam článků (QIDs), na kterých se objeví Baby Globe, bude omezen na 2 500 na jazykovou verzi. Nebude existovat žádná „neutrální“ verze Baby Globe, která by se zobrazovala na ostatních stránkách. Díky tomu bude nalezení Baby Globe působit více jako easter egg.
Seznam předem vybraných QIDs
si může každá jazyková verze Wikipedie dále upravit prostřednictvím nástroje
Community Configuration
Aby se Baby Globe zobrazoval i na mobilní verzi webu, budou
globálně zapnuté sitenotice pro mobilní verzi
Narozeninový režim bude nyní k dispozici až do 6. dubna.
Budeme rádi za vaše dotazy. Děkujeme!

Highlights
Let's Talk
continues
Birthday mode
: This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on ~2,500 articles, waiting to be discovered by readers. The feature is available for all Wikipedias to customise through Community Configuration until 6 April 2026. So far
17 Wikipedias
have joined in the fun.

Etherpad cleanup
: For security and performance reasons, all current pads on Wikimedia’s
Etherpad
instance, the web-based "ephemeral" editor for real-time collaborative document editing,
will be permanently deleted after 30 April
. We will continue running this Etherpad instance to support events and other short-term collaboration, but will be periodically deleting data going forward. If you have content in Etherpad you want to keep, please create local backups, as data will be permanently deleted and will not be able to be recovered.
Activity tab
: Wikipedia iOS app has rolled out the improved
Activity tab
to all users in version 7.9.0. A/B test results showed increased account creation among users with access to the feature. Updates include enhanced editing impact insights, module customization, and relocation of History into the Search tab.
Reference Check
: The feature
Reference Check
has been deployed to all Wikipedias. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop (or acknowledge/explain why they did not) and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web.
Semantic search
: The Foundation has launched a limited
Android mobile app experiment
that tests hybrid search capabilities which can handle both
semantic
and keyword queries. The
Phase 1 beta
is now live on Greek Wikipedia. The goal is to understand whether combining meaning-based retrieval with keyword search helps readers find information more effectively. Testing will expand to English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias in March.
Navigation experience
: The Foundation will run
an experiment
for mobile web users, that adds a table of contents and automatically expands all article sections, to learn more about navigation issues they face. The test will be available on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.

Site notices
: Site notices (
MediaWiki:Sitenotice
and
MediaWiki:Anonnotice
) now will render on all platforms, not just on the desktop site. Users on mobile web will now see these notices and be informed.
Tech News
: Latest updates from Tech News week

Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on February 27. Please help
translate
Highlights
Supporting readers
: For most of its history, Wikipedia did not have to worry about attracting readers. But with the way people search for information changing, there is a drop in the number of readers which is impacting the number of accounts created and contributions to our sites. Have a look at some of
the ongoing and planned work to support reader experience.
Server switch
All wikis will be read-only
for a few minutes on March 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is for the
datacenter server switchover backup tests
, which happen
twice a year
Tools improvement
: The
PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group
continued improvements to
Video2Commons
in February, with fixes addressing authentication errors, large-file handling, task queue visibility, and clearer upload behavior.
Work is still ongoing in some areas
, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads.
Wikipedia 25 Grants
: The celebration continues! The Wikimedia Foundation offers
Wikipedia 25 Birthday Funds
to communities planning Wikipedia’s 25th birthday events with funding between USD 1,000–2,000. Apply before March 31.

Experiments
: The Foundation is frequently conducting experiments to help learn what features will be most effective and valuable to the projects.
The list of experiments in Product and Technology
, tracks upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments as well as their rationale. For example, the tracker shares that
one upcoming experiment, Reader to Contributor Baseline
, will measure how many readers create contributor accounts and whether the rate differs depending on how people arrived to the site.
Article guidance
: Help less experienced editors by filling out a questionnaire
on this page
(available in 7 languages). The Foundation are looking particularly for experienced Wikipedia editors from these
pilot wikis
. Your answers will help
customize guidance for less experienced editors while creating an article
Wikifunctions:
You can now create Functions that will
show a citation in their output.
Editing feature
Suggestion Mode
is available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines.
Paste Check
Paste Check
is now available at all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation.
Mobile experience
: The user menu in the top corner for all mobile users
is standardized
so that it is closer to the desktop experience to improve the user interface for readers.
Two-factor authentication
: For security reasons, members of certain user groups are
required to have two-factor authentication
(2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will
gradually change in March
Tech News
: Latest updates from Tech News week
10
and
11
include the new GraphQL API has been released as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS). They also link to the 50 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

New Rapid Funds in CEE – global support now closer to your local activities

1 člověk v diskusi
Hi everyone,
Starting from 1 April 2026
, the CEE Hub will begin reviewing and supporting Rapid Fund applications for Central and Eastern Europe, in close cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation. This change is part of our shared effort to bring support closer to communities and make the process more accessible and responsive to local contexts.
You will still apply through the same system (Fluxx), and WMF will continue handling contracts and fund transfers. What changes is that the CEE Hub becomes your first point of contact, offering guidance, reviewing applications, and staying closer to your ideas throughout the process.
We encourage you to reach out to
Toni
, our Grants Specialist before applying. A short conversation can help clarify your idea and make things smoother from the start.
☝️ Rapid Funds remain open year-round (with possible delays in June and December).
☝️ For Central Asian communities: the process stays the same – you continue applying directly through WMF.
Join our online Q&A session to learn more (same content, two options to join):
2 April, 5:00 PM CEST (UTC +2;

8 April 7:00 PM CEST (UTC +2;

Editing on the mobile apps
Highlights
Supporting the mobile experience
: The Foundation is starting conversations with communities to
explore how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps
. The goal is to understand how to better support both new and experienced editors, and how the app can guide users to the right editing tools. Your input is welcome. Join the
discussion
Wikimania 2026
Registration for Wikimania 2026
is opening soon from the end of March to May 1. Like other Wikimedia events this year, we are introducing a "request for invitation" process, with trust and safety checks conducted prior to confirming in-person attendance. Our priority is to create a safe environment for connection, collaboration, and shared learning.
Around the Puzzle Globe in the CEE region
: On March 23 almost 60 Wikimedians took part in
the CEE-Catch up
- a meeting for Wikimedians from Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. As a part of
continuous conversations
we have with the communities around the Foundation's annual plan, participants discussed the global trends related to Readers and Contributors in their regional context. The meeting was also an opportunity to connect with the new Foundation CEO, Bernadette Meehan, who is meeting communities
around the puzzle globe
to listen, learn and engage with the communities.

Crawlers:
The Foundation is now
detecting and blocking billions of bot requests
that don’t follow our robot policy, such as aggressive scrapers, to make sure our resources go towards serving human readers. In the coming months we’ll be working on better detection of rapidly changing bot behavior and better API infrastructure.
Moderator tools for newer editors
: Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to an
early version of Special:PersonalDashboard
. It introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project.
Account creation on mobile
: Mobile editors
at several wikis
are now presented with a simplified logged-out warning message, which encourages them to create an account or log in. This test is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the
account creation experience on mobile
and increase participation.
Verification email redesign:
The verification email sent to new accounts
that add an email address during signup has been redesigned. When tested on English Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata, the same-week email verification rate increased from 41.6% to 45.9%.
Retaining notification history
: Wikimedia site users can export their notifications older than 5 years using
a new Toolforge tool
. This will ensure that users retain important notifications and avoid losing them based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years,
as previously announced
Tech News
: Latest highlights from Tech News weeks
12
and
13
include the update that Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys as a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. See also the 64 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
Experiments
: Check out
the list of experiments in Product and Technology
to see all upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments. One new experiment that just went live is the "Improve the logged-out warning message on mobile web," which aims to reduce the sense of friction or alarm when users encounter the logged-out warning upon editing.

Navigating articles on mobile
: The Foundation is
launching an experiment
to test how to make it easier and more intuitive for readers to navigate through articles on mobile. To do this, we want to test
Mobile Page Previews.
This experiment will go live the week of April 20 and will run for four weeks.
Editing tools for new editors
Tone Check
was
