English Wikinews will upgrade its license to CC-BY-4.0 - will you join us? / Wikinews în engleză își va actualiza licența la CC-BY-4.0 - vă veți alătura nouă?
modificare
English Wikinews has finally completed the discussions about a license upgrade and will upgrade to CC-BY-4.0, effective for all edits made from December 16, 2024. You can read about it at
en:Wikinews:2024 Copyright license upgrade
All Wikinews projects manage their processes internally and independently of English Wikinews, but on English Wikinews, we hope that you will also change your license so we can continue to share articles across the different versions of Wikinews.
Arabic Wikinews already upgraded in August 2024, but they chose CC-BY-SA-4.0 (ShareAlike). We know that other Wikinews projects would also like to change.
To complete the change, each Wikinews project needs to file a request on Phabricator. We made one for English Wikinews at
Phab:T381421
If your wiki
have already decided
to change the license you can also make a request or we can try to add your wiki to the request so the changes can take place at the same time.
If your wiki
have not yet decided
it is still possible to change the license. But your wiki needs to have a discussion about it.
To coordinate the license change, we need to know if your wiki has already decided or has an existing vote, so please either leave a message here with a link to the vote/result (and ping me please) or add it directly at
en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Results_all_Wikinews_projects
. Even if the result is that you will not upgrade, we would really appreciate knowing.

Wikinews în engleză a finalizat în sfârșit discuțiile despre o actualizare a licenței și va actualiza la CC-BY-4.0, efectiv pentru toate modificările făcute începând cu 16 decembrie 2024. Puteți citi mai multe despre asta la
en:Wikinews:2024 Copyright license upgrade
Toate proiectele Wikinews își gestionează procesele intern și independent de Wikinews în engleză, dar la Wikinews în engleză, sperăm că veți schimba și voi licența pentru a putea continua să împărtășim articole între diferitele versiuni ale Wikinews.
Wikinews în arabă a actualizat deja în august 2024, dar au ales CC-BY-SA-4.0 (ShareAlike). Știm că și alte proiecte Wikinews ar dori să schimbe.
Pentru a finaliza schimbarea, fiecare proiect Wikinews trebuie să depună o cerere pe Phabricator. Am făcut una pentru Wikinews în engleză la
Phab:T381421
Dacă wiki-ul vostru
a decis deja
să schimbe licența, puteți face și voi o cerere sau putem încerca să adăugăm wiki-ul vostru la cerere pentru ca schimbările să poată avea loc în același timp.
Dacă wiki-ul vostru
nu a decis încă
, este încă posibil să schimbați licența. Dar wiki-ul vostru trebuie să aibă o discuție despre asta.
Pentru a coordona schimbarea licenței, trebuie să știm dacă wiki-ul vostru a decis deja sau are un vot existent, așa că vă rugăm să lăsați un mesaj aici cu un link către vot/rezultat (și vă rog să mă pinguiți) sau să-l adăugați direct la
en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Results_all_Wikinews_projects
. Chiar dacă rezultatul este că nu veți actualiza, am aprecia foarte mult să știm. --

Vot despre schimbarea licenței la CC-BY-4.0
modificare
[See English version at
en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Draft_to_a_vote
in case the text does not look right - it is translated with a tool]
Așa cum s-a scris anterior, Wikinews în engleză și alte câteva Wikinews și-au schimbat acum licența. Wiki-ul dvs. nu a răspuns, așa că încep aici un vot sugerând să actualizați și dvs. licența la CC-BY-4.0. Vă rugăm să consultați și
m:Requests for comment/Update standard license for Wikinews
unde sugerez schimbarea licenței implicite pentru Wikinews pentru a asigura că toate Wikinews au aceeași licență (CC-BY-4.0) cu excepția cazului în care aleg activ o altă licență.
Votul se va încheia pe 20 ianuarie 2025, cu data schimbării stabilită pentru 1 februarie 2025. Toți utilizatorii cu mai mult de 100 de editări bune pot vota (paginile de discuții sunt excluse).
Lipsa opoziției sau absența comentariilor în timpul perioadei de vot nu este considerată automat ca suport. Mai degrabă, reflectă faptul că participanții au avut ocazia să-și exprime opiniile. Dacă nu sunt ridicate obiecții, sondajul va fi considerat o acțiune de 'continuare', presupunând că nu a fost exprimată nicio opoziție (conform
m:Requesting wiki configuration changes
).
Apreciez orice ajutor pentru a asigura că acest vot este anunțat în locurile corecte și că textul este tradus cu acuratețe. Dacă există erori, vă rugăm să ajutați la corectarea lor. Dacă politica locală are reguli diferite de cele pe care le sugerez, vă rugăm să le corectați cât mai curând posibil.
Câteva informații despre licențe
Versiunea 4.0 este mai internațională, mai compatibilă cu alte licențe și mai ușor de citit în comparație cu versiunea 2.5.
Este posibil să copiați text licențiat 2.5 la 4.0, dar nu și invers.
Este posibil să copiați text licențiat BY la BY-SA, dar nu și invers.
Nu mai este posibil să traduceți articole din Wikinews în engleză decât dacă actualizați la 4.0.
Opțiunea 1: Schimbare la CC-BY-4.0 (
CC BY 4.0
) [Implicit, cu excepția cazului în care una dintre celelalte două are mai mult suport]

Opțiunea 2: Schimbare la CC-BY-SA-4.0 (

Fundaţia
Wikimedia
vai testa intre centrele sale de date primar şi secundar. Acest lucru va asigura că Wikipedia și alte wiki-uri ale Wikimediei pot rămâne online chiar și după un dezastru.
Traficul va comuta la
19 martie
. Testul va începe la
14:00 UTC
(15:00 CEST).
Din păcate, din cauza unor limitări din
MediaWiki
, toate editările trebuie să se oprească în timp ce comutarea este efectuată. Ne cerem scuze pentru această perturbare și ne străduim să o reducem la minimum în viitor.
Un banner va fi afișat pe toate wiki-urile cu 30 de minute înainte ca această operațiune să aibă loc. Acest banner va rămâne vizibil până la sfârșitul operațiunii.
Veți putea citi, dar nu edita, toate wiki-urile pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp.
Nu veți putea edita până la o oră miercuri 19 martie 2025.
Dacă încercați să editați sau să salvați în aceste perioade, veți vedea un mesaj de eroare. Sperăm că nu se vor pierde modificări în aceste minute, dar nu putem garanta acest lucru. Dacă vedeți mesajul de eroare, vă rugăm să așteptați până când totul revine la normal. Apoi ar trebui să puteți salva editarea. Dar, vă recomandăm să faceți mai întâi o copie a modificărilor dvs., pentru orice eventualitate.
„Alte efecte”:
Lucrările de fundal vor fi mai lente și unele pot fi abandonate. Este posibil ca linkurile roșii să nu fie actualizate la fel de repede ca în mod normal. Dacă creați un articol care este deja legat în altă parte, linkul va rămâne roșu mai mult decât de obicei. Unele scripturi de lungă durată vor trebui oprite.
Ne așteptăm ca implementările de cod să se întâmple ca în orice altă săptămână. Cu toate acestea, unele înghețări de cod în fiecare caz ar putea să se întâmple punctual dacă operațiunea le va necesita ulterior.
Serviciul

nu va fii disponibil pentru vreo 90 de minute.

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!
modificare
(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

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)

(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)
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
modificare
Mai multe limbi
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

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
modificare
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
modificare
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
modificare
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
modificare
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.

Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes
modificare
(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)
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, -

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
modificare
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

(we have just posted one) and

Din păcate, din cauza unor limitări din
MediaWiki
, toate editările trebuie să se oprească în timp ce comutarea este efectuată. Ne cerem scuze pentru această perturbare și ne străduim să o reducem la minimum în viitor.
Un banner va fi afișat pe toate wiki-urile cu 30 de minute înainte ca această operațiune să aibă loc. Acest banner va rămâne vizibil până la sfârșitul operațiunii.

Veți putea citi, dar nu edita, toate wiki-urile pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp.
Nu veți putea edita până la o oră miercuri 24 septembrie 2025.
Dacă încercați să editați sau să salvați în aceste perioade, veți vedea un mesaj de eroare. Sperăm că nu se vor pierde modificări în aceste minute, dar nu putem garanta acest lucru. Dacă vedeți mesajul de eroare, vă rugăm să așteptați până când totul revine la normal. Apoi ar trebui să puteți salva editarea. Dar, vă recomandăm să faceți mai întâi o copie a modificărilor dvs., pentru orice eventualitate.
„Alte efecte”:
Lucrările de fundal vor fi mai lente și unele pot fi abandonate. Este posibil ca linkurile roșii să nu fie actualizate la fel de repede ca în mod normal. Dacă creați un articol care este deja legat în altă parte, linkul va rămâne roșu mai mult decât de obicei. Unele scripturi de lungă durată vor trebui oprite.
Ne așteptăm ca implementările de cod să se întâmple ca în orice altă săptămână. Cu toate acestea, unele înghețări de cod în fiecare caz ar putea să se întâmple punctual dacă operațiunea le va necesita ulterior.
Serviciul
GitLab
nu va fii disponibil pentru vreo 90 de minute.
Acest proiect poate fi amânat dacă este necesar. Puteți

Results of the consultation about Wikispore and Wikinews
modificare
Hey everyone,
The Sister Project Task Force ran a consultation on the future of Wikinews and Wikispore, as well as to understand how to best create structures for how to start and close Wikimedia projects, between 26 June and 15 August. Their recommendations to the Community Affairs Committee of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees have now
been published on Meta-Wiki
In summary, the task force recommends to:
Keep the current Wikispore’s technical setup, as it is functioning and supports ongoing experimentation; and explore options for closer alignment with the Incubator.
Plan for the archival of all editions of Wikinews, and support the exploration of new paradigms for Wikimedia news content by community members.
The next step is for the Board of Trustees to discuss the consultation and the recommendations coming out of it, and take a decision.
The longer version can be read on Meta.
We want to thank everyone who participated in the conversation so far.
The Wikimedia communities are obviously free to discuss this wherever they want, but we want to encourage the discussion to take place on the
Meta talk page
, in order for the Wikimedia movement to have more of a coordinated discussion. You can post in your language.

Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews
modificare
Following
extended discussions
within the Wikimedia movement about the Wikinews long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has
approved the closure
of Wikinews.
Following this decision, all Wikinews editions will transition to read-only mode one month after this announcement, on 4 May. From that date onward, pages on Wikinews will remain publicly accessible for reading, reference and dump downloading, but editing and new content creation will no longer be possible.
Further information about the technical transition to read-only mode and the preservation of existing content will be shared in the coming weeks.
We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement, and we understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn’t able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias. We hope the Wikinews editors will continue contributing to the other Wikimedia projects or free knowledge projects.

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