This is the first step of several to be taken for the annual review.Read more information and find a conversation to join on the UCoC page on Meta.
You are humbly invited to organize theFeminism 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 aWiki 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 onCampWiz tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include theArticle List Generator by Topic andCampWiz. 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

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted byglobal community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, thestewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to theadmin activity review.We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify thestewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks,EPIC (thó-lūn)2025 nî 2 goe̍h 22 ji̍t (pài-la̍k) 23:27 (UTC)回覆

您好 Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language, 請協助翻譯成您使用的語言.
TheLanguage and Product Localization team has improved theContent 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 implementthis improvement on your wikion Monday, March 17th, 2025 and remove the current dashboardby 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.
TheWikimedia 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 on19 March.The switch will start at14:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations inMediaWiki, 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.
Kî-thann íng-hióng:
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.

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, theold Graph extension was disabled in 2023due 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 theCharts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also theEasyTimeline 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 fromMay 6. Please, consultour page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can alsoconsult 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 theproject’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 thetalk page or atPhabricator.

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development ofAbstract 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.

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 theCampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during theweek 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.
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, includingMeta, 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.
This year, the Wikimedia community will vote in late August through September 2025 to fill two (2) seats on the Foundation Board. Could you – or someone you know – be a good fit to join the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees? [3]
Learn more about what it takes to stand for these leadership positions and how to submit your candidacy onthis Meta-wiki page or encourage someone else to run in this year's election.
Best regards,

Hello everyone, theWikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in yourWatchlists andRecent 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 theWikidata:Glossary for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for17.07.2025, between1300 - 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 thisproject task page. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicatedTalk page.
我們的維基媒體專案應該預設為未有登入的編輯者提供更安全的編輯體驗。臨時帳戶允許用戶在不建立帳戶的情況下繼續編輯維基百科，同時避免公開他們的編輯行為與其 IP 位址關聯。我們相信這符合未有登入的編輯者的最佳利益，他們為維基百科做出了寶貴的貢獻，並且以後可能會創建帳戶，壯大我們的編輯者、管理員和其他角色社群。儘管維基百科會警告未有登入的編輯者，他們的 IP 位址將與其編輯行為關聯，但許多人可能並不理解 IP 位址是什麼，或者這可能會以意想不到的方式被用來獲取其他相關資訊。
此外，我們的審核軟體和工具過度依賴網路來源（IP 位址）來識別使用者和活動模式，尤其是在 IP 位址本身作為識別碼的穩定性日益降低的情況下。臨時帳戶允許與未有登入的編輯者進行更精準的互動，包括更精準的屏蔽，並有助於減少我們無意中屏蔽使用與惡意用戶相同 IP 位址的善意用戶的頻率。
臨時帳戶的工作原理
每當未有登入的編輯者在本維基媒體專案上發布編輯時，該使用者的瀏覽器中都會設定一個 Cookie，並自動建立一個與該 Cookie 綁定的臨時帳戶。此帳戶的名稱將遵循以下格式：~2025-12345-67（波浪號、當前年份、數字）。在「最近更改」或頁面歷史記錄等頁面上，將顯示此名稱。該 Cookie 將在創建後 90 天過期。只要它存在，從此設備進行的所有編輯均將歸因於此臨時帳戶。即使 IP 位址發生變化，該帳戶仍是同一個，除非使用者清除 Cookie 或使用其他裝置或網路瀏覽器。每次編輯時使用的 IP 位址記錄將在編輯後保存 90 天。但是，只有部分登入使用者能夠看到這個帳戶。
這對於不同的用戶群體意味著什麼？
對於未有登入的編輯者
此舉將增強隱私：目前，如果您未使用註冊帳戶進行編輯，那麼即使超過 90 天，其他人都可以看到您編輯的 IP 位址。但在本維基媒體專案上，此舉將不再適用。
如果您在過去 90 天內使用臨時帳戶在不同地點（例如，在家中和咖啡店）進行編輯，則所有這些地點的編輯歷史記錄和 IP 位址將合併記錄到同一個臨時帳戶。符合相關要求的用戶將能夠查看這些數據。如果您對此造成任何個人安全擔憂，請聯絡talktohumanrights@wikimedia.org尋求建議。
對於與未有登入的編輯者互動的社群成員
臨時帳戶與設備唯一關聯。相較之下，IP 位址可以與不同的裝置和人員共用（例如，學校或工作場所的不同人員可能擁有相同的 IP 位址）。
對於負責追蹤持續濫用者、調查違反政策行為等的巡查員：符合條件的用戶將能夠公開臨時用戶的 IP 位址以及來自特定 IP 位址或範圍的臨時帳戶的所有貢獻 (Special:IPContributions)。他們同時可以透過 IP 資訊功能存取有關IP 位址的有用資訊。許多其他軟體已被建置或調整以支援臨時帳戶，包括濫用篩選器 (AbuseFilter)、全域封鎖、全域使用者貢獻等等。 （有關志願開發者如何更新工具代碼的信息，請參閱本訊息的最後部分。）

您好 Wikimedians,
Apologies if this message is not in your language. 請協助翻譯成您使用的語言.
TheReader Experience team will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.
Dark mode is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found onthis page.Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.
Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launchin July 2024, we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and readthis page to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.
We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.
