The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Language_engineering/Community_meetings#31_May_2024 sign up on this wiki page].

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and [[etherpad:p/language-community-meeting-may-2024|add agenda items to the document here]].

We look forward to your participation!

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Ratification/Voting#Electoral Commission|Charter Electoral Commission]] is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement Charter#Thank you for your participation in the Movement Charter ratification vote!|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter|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, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Board_resolution_and_vote_on_the_proposed_Movement_Charter|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.

שלום לכם. שנים רבות חברי הקהילה ביקשו דרך קלה לשימוש מחדש בהערות שוליים באמצעות שינוי קל בפרטים. עכשיו מגיע הפתרון של מדיה-ויקי, אפשרות ליצור הערות שוליים משניות, בעורך קוד מקור ובעורך החזותי, והיא תשפר את מנגנון הערות השוליים הקיים. תוכלו גם להמשיך להשתמש בהערות שוליים בדרכים אחרות, אבל מן הסתם תתקלו בהערות השוליים המשניות בערכים שנכתבו בידי אחרים. מידע נוסף ב[[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|דף המיזם]].

'''נשמח לקבל משוב''' כדי לוודא שזה עובד טוב עבורכם:

* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Test|אנא נסו]] את המנגנון החדש בשלב הפיתוח הנוכחי על בטא ויקי ו[[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|ספרו לנו מה דעתכם]]. 
* [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Sign-up|עשו מנוי]] לקבלת עדכונים והזמנות להשתתף בפעוליות מחקר שלנו.

צוות [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|המשאלות הטכניות]] של [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Deutschland|ויקיפדיה הגרמנית]] מתכוון להביא את המנגנון הזה לאתרי ויקי של ויקימדיה בהמשך השנה. לפני כן נדבר עם יוצרים ותומכים בכלים ובתבניות הקשורים לנושא.

[[foundation:|קרן ויקימדיה]] תבצע מעבר בין מרכזי הנתונים שלה. זה יוודא שוויקיפדיה ואתרי הוויקי הנוספים של ויקימדיה יוכלו להישאר זמינים גם לאחר אסון.

כל התעבורה תועבר ב־'''{{#time:j xg|2024-09-25|he}}'''. הבדיקה תתחיל ב־'''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2024-09-25T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2024-09-25T15:00}}]''' (16:00 שעון ישראל).

לרוע המזל, עקב מגבלות מסוימות ב[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|מדיה־ויקי]], כל העריכות חייבות להיפסק במהלך המעבר. אנו מצטערים על ההפרעה, ופועלים לצמצמם אותה בעתיד. 

תוצג כרזה בכל אתרי הוויקי 30 דקות לפני שהפעולה הזאת מתבצעת. &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.&lt;/span&gt; 

'''יהיה ניתן לקרוא, אך לא לערוך, את כל אתרי הוויקי למשך זמן קצר.'''

*לא יהיה אפשר לערוך למשך שעה לכל היותר ביום {{#time:l j xg Y|2024-09-25|he}}.
*במקרה של ניסיון לערוך או לשמור במהלך זמן זה, תראו הודעת שגיאה. אנו מקווים שלא יאבדו עריכות במהלך דקות אלו, אך אנו לא יכולים להבטיח זאת. אם מוצגת לך הודעת השגיאה, יש להמתין עד שהכול חוזר לשגרה. אז יהיה אפשר לשמור את העריכה שלך. אבל אנו ממליצים להכין העתק של השינויים שלך לפני כן, ליתר ביטחון.

'''השפעות אחרות''':

*משימות רקע יואטו וחלקן עלולות להיפסק. קישורים אדומים עשויים להתעדכן לאט מהרגיל. במקרה של יצירת ערך שכבר מקושר במקום אחר, הקישור יישאר אדום לזמן ארוך מהרגיל. כמה סקריפטים בעלי זמן־ריצה ארוך ייאלצו להיפסק.
* אנו מצפים שהתקנות קוד יתנהלו כמו בכל שבוע אחר. עם זאת, הקפאות קוד מסוימות יכולות לקרות באופן נקודתי אם התפעול דורש אותן אחרי־כן.
* אתר ה[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|גיטלאב]] לא יהיה זמין לכ־90 שניות.

הפרויקט הזה יכול להידחות אם זה יידרש. ניתן [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|לעיין בלוח הזמנים ב־wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. במקרה של שינוי תהיה הודעה על כך בלוח הזמנים.

== תוצאות מוקדמות של בחירות 2024 לחבר הנאמנים של קרן ויקימדיה ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
שלום לכולם,

תודה לכל המשתתפות והמשתתפים ב[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|בחירות 2024 לחבר הנאמנים של קרן ויקימדיה]]. הצביעו קרוב ל־6000 חברות וחברים בקהילה מיוֹתר מ־180 מיזמי ויקי.

ארבעת המועמדים והמועמדות להלן זכו למספר הקולות הגבוה ביותר:

# [[User:Kritzolina|Christel Steigenberger]]
# [[User:Nadzik|Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz]]
# [[User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]]
# [[User:Laurentius|Lorenzo Losa]]

המועמדות והמועמדים האלה דורגו אומנם ראשונים בהצבעה, אך הם עדיין לא מונו לחבר הנאמנים. הם צריכים לעבור בהצלחה בדיקת רקע ולעמוד בדרישות הקבועות בתקנון. נאמנות ונאמנים חדשים ימונו בישיבה הבאה של חבר הנאמנים בדצמבר 2024.

[[foundation:|קרן ויקימדיה]] תבצע מעבר בין מרכזי הנתונים שלה. זה יוודא שוויקיפדיה ואתרי הוויקי הנוספים של ויקימדיה יוכלו להישאר זמינים גם לאחר אסון.

כל התעבורה תועבר ב־'''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|he}}'''. הבדיקה תתחיל ב־'''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]''' (16:00 שעון ישראל).

לרוע המזל, עקב מגבלות מסוימות ב[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|מדיה־ויקי]], כל העריכות חייבות להיפסק במהלך המעבר. אנו מצטערים על ההפרעה, ופועלים לצמצמם אותה בעתיד. 

תוצג כרזה בכל אתרי הוויקי 30 דקות לפני שהפעולה הזאת מתבצעת. הכרזה הזו תישאר גלויה עד לסיום המבצע. 

'''יהיה ניתן לקרוא, אך לא לערוך, את כל אתרי הוויקי למשך זמן קצר.'''

*לא יהיה אפשר לערוך למשך שעה לכל היותר ביום {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|he}}.
*במקרה של ניסיון לערוך או לשמור במהלך זמן זה, תראו הודעת שגיאה. אנו מקווים שלא יאבדו עריכות במהלך דקות אלו, אך אנו לא יכולים להבטיח זאת. אם מוצגת לך הודעת השגיאה, יש להמתין עד שהכול חוזר לשגרה. אז יהיה אפשר לשמור את העריכה שלך. אבל אנו ממליצים להכין העתק של השינויים שלך לפני כן, ליתר ביטחון.

'''השפעות אחרות''':

*משימות רקע יואטו וחלקן עלולות להיפסק. קישורים אדומים עשויים להתעדכן לאט מהרגיל. במקרה של יצירת ערך שכבר מקושר במקום אחר, הקישור יישאר אדום לזמן ארוך מהרגיל. כמה סקריפטים בעלי זמן־ריצה ארוך ייאלצו להיפסק.
* אנו מצפים שהתקנות קוד יתנהלו כמו בכל שבוע אחר. עם זאת, הקפאות קוד מסוימות יכולות לקרות באופן נקודתי אם התפעול דורש אותן אחרי־כן.
* אתר ה[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|גיטלאב]] לא יהיה זמין לכ־90 שניות.

הפרויקט הזה יכול להידחות אם זה יידרש. ניתן [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|לעיין בלוח הזמנים ב־wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. במקרה של שינוי תהיה הודעה על כך בלוח הזמנים.

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

''(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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|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 [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

''(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 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

שלום לכולם,

השנה מסתיימת תקופת כהונתם של שני נאמנים שנבחרו לחבר הנאמנים של קרן ויקימדיה על־ידי הקהילה ושותפים [1]. חבר הנאמנים מזמין את התנועה כולה להשתתף בתהליך הבחירות לשנה זו ולהצביע על איוש המושבים המתפנים.

ועדת הבחירות תפקח על התהליך בתמיכת סגל הקרן [2]. ועדת המשילות, המורכבת מנאמנים שאינם מועמדים בתהליך הבחירות הזה (ראג'ו נריסטי, שני אבנשטיין סיגלוב, לורנצו לוסה, קאתי קולינס, ויקטוריה דורונינה ואסראא א־שאפעי) [3], תפקח ותספק מידע לחבר הנאמנים על תהליך הבחירות. פרטים נוספים על תפקידיהם של ועדת הבחירות, חבר הנאמנים והסגל נמצאים כאן [4].

התאריכים המתוכננים החשובים ביותר:

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]&lt;/span&gt;
* 17 ביוני - 1 ביולי 2025: קריאה להגשת מועמדות
* יולי 2025: במקרה הצורך, שותפים יצביעו על צמצום רשימת המועמדים אם יוגשו יותר מעשר מועמדויות. [5]
* אוגוסט 2025: תקופת מסע הבחירות
* אוגוסט - ספטמבר 2025: תקופת שבועיים להצבעת הקהילה
* אוקטובר - נובמבר 2025: בדיקת רקע למועמדים שנבחרו
* ישיבת חבר הנאמנים בדצמבר 2025: מינוי הנאמנים החדשים

'''קול קורא להצגת שאלות'''

בכל תהליך בחירות יש לקהילה הזדמנות להציג שאלות למועמדות ולמועמדים לחבר הנאמנים. ועדת הבחירות בוחרת שאלות מהרשימה שיצרה הקהילה למועמדות ולמועמדים.
על המועמדות והמועמדים לענות על כל השאלות הנדרשות במסגרת הגשת המועמדוּת כדי להיחשב מועמדים כשרים, אחרת מועמדותם תיפסל. השנה תבחר ועדת הבחירות חמש שאלות שיוצגו למועמדות ולמועמדים. השאלות שייבחרו יכולות להיות שילוב של שאלות שהציגה הקהילה, אם הן דומות או קשורות זו לזו. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[קישור]]]

'''התנדבות לבחירות'''

דרך נוספת למעורבות בתהליך הבחירות לשנת 2025 היא להיות מתנדב או מתנדבת בחירות. מתנדבי בחירות הם גשר בין ועדת הבחירות לבין הקהילה שהם באים ממנה. הם עוזרים להבטיח את הייצוג של קהילתם ולגייס אותה להצבעה. פרטים נוספים על התוכנית ואיך להצטרף נמצאים בדף מטא־ויקי הזה [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[קישור]]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
Dear Wikimedia Community,

The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]]  of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|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 ===

The [[m:Wikispore|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 ===

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.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 &lt;nowiki&gt;[2]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[3]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] 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[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews &lt;nowiki&gt;[4]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[5]&lt;/nowiki&gt;, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? &lt;nowiki&gt;[6]&lt;/nowiki&gt;].

[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|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 ===

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: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|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 ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|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 [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|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:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

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 [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;body&quot;/&gt;
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|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'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
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: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;~2025-12345-67&lt;/code&gt; (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 [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|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 [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|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:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|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 [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

[[foundation:|קרן ויקימדיה]] תבצע מעבר בין מרכזי הנתונים שלה. זה יוודא שוויקיפדיה ואתרי הוויקי הנוספים של ויקימדיה יוכלו להישאר זמינים גם לאחר אסון.

כל התעבורה תועבר ב־'''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|he}}'''. הבדיקה תתחיל ב־'''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]''' (18:00 שעון ישראל).

לרוע המזל, עקב מגבלות מסוימות ב[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|מדיה־ויקי]], כל העריכות חייבות להיפסק במהלך המעבר. אנו מצטערים על ההפרעה, ופועלים לצמצמם אותה בעתיד.

*במקרה של ניסיון לערוך או לשמור במהלך זמן זה, תראו הודעת שגיאה. אנו מקווים שלא יאבדו עריכות במהלך דקות אלו, אך אנו לא יכולים להבטיח זאת. אם מוצגת לך הודעת השגיאה, יש להמתין עד שהכול חוזר לשגרה. אז יהיה אפשר לשמור את העריכה שלך. אבל אנו ממליצים להכין העתק של השינויים שלך לפני כן, ליתר ביטחון.

'''השפעות אחרות''':

== Results of the consultation about Wikispore and Wikinews ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;content&quot; /&gt;
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 [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force/Results of the consultation about Wikispore and Wikinews|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 [[:m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force/Results of the consultation about Wikispore and Wikinews|Meta talk page]], in order for the Wikimedia movement to have more of a coordinated discussion. You can post in your language.

I am writing to you to let you know the annual review period for the Universal Code of Conduct and Enforcement Guidelines is open now. You can make suggestions for changes through 9 February 2026. This is the first step of several to be taken for the annual review. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Annual review/2026|Read more information and find a conversation to join on the UCoC page on Meta]].

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee]] (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. This annual review was planned and implemented by the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|you may review the U4C Charter]].

Please share this information with other members in your community wherever else might be appropriate.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot; /&gt;
Following [[:m:Public consultation about Wikinews|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 [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|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.&lt;section end=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;

== 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 &lt;code&gt;Module:Itemgroup/list&lt;/code&gt;).

'''The Change:'''&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. 

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.

'''What You Need To Do:'''&lt;br /&gt;
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

'''Deadline:'''&lt;br /&gt;
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|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! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[משתמש:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[שיחת משתמש:MediaWiki message delivery|שיחה]]) 20:11, 3 באפריל 2026 (IDT)
