Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 19 March 2025.
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!
[editar](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 or at Phabricator.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)
[editar](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.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (alderique) 15:27 22 may 2025 (UTC)

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
[editar]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
[editar]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
[editar]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
[editar]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
[editar](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.

Las cuentas temporales serán implantadas pronto
[editar]Hola, somos el equipo de Seguridad e Integridad de Productos de la Fundación Wikimedia. Nos gustaría anunciar que tenemos previsto habilitar las cuentas temporales para esta wiki durante la semana del 1 de septiembre.
Las cuentas temporales ya se han activado con éxito en 30 wikis, incluidas muchas de gran tamaño como la Wikipedia en alemán, Wikipedia en japonés y Wikipedia en francés. El cambio que suponen las cuentas temporales es especialmente relevante para quienes editan sin iniciar sesión, ya que esta función está destinada a protegerles. Pero también es relevante para otras personas que forman parte de la comunidad como mentores/as, patrulleros/as y bibliotecerios/as, es decir, cualquier persona que revierta ediciones, bloquee usuarios/as o interactúe de cualquier otra forma con editores/as que no han iniciado sesión como parte de su labor de mantener la seguridad y la precisión de las wikis.
Por qué se crean las cuentas temporales
Nuestras wikis deberían ser más seguras de editar para quienes editen sin iniciar sesión. Las cuentas temporales permiten la edición de las wikis sin necesidad de crear una cuenta, evitando al mismo tiempo vincular públicamente esas ediciones a la dirección IP de quién las realiza. Creemos que esto es beneficioso para los editores no conectados que hacen contribuciones valiosas y válidas en las wikis y que, tal vez, más adelante pueden crear cuentas y hacer crecer nuestra comunidad. A pesar de que la propia wiki advierte a quien edita sin iniciar sesión de que su dirección IP se asociará con su edición, muchas personas pueden no entender lo que es una dirección IP, o que dicha IP podría ser utilizada para conectarlos a otra información sobre ellos de una manera que podrían no esperar.
Además, nuestro software y herramientas de moderación se basan demasiado en el origen de la red (direcciones IP) para identificar a los usuarios y los patrones de actividad, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que las propias direcciones IP son cada vez menos estables como identificadores. Las cuentas temporales permiten interacciones más precisas con los editores desconectados, incluidos bloqueos más precisos, y pueden ayudar a limitar la frecuencia con la que involuntariamente acabamos bloqueando a usuarios de buena fe que utilizan las mismas direcciones IP que los usuarios de mala fe.
Cómo funcionan las cuentas temporales
Cada vez que una persona sin sesión publique una edición en esta wiki, se establecerá una cookie en el navegador de dicho usuario y se creará automáticamente una cuenta temporal vinculada con dicha cookie. El nombre de esta cuenta seguirá el patrón: ~2025-12345-67 (una virgulilla, el año actual, un número). En páginas como Cambios recientes o el historial de los artículos, se mostrará este nombre. La cookie expirará a los 90 días de su creación. Mientras exista, todas las ediciones realizadas desde ese dispositivo se atribuirán a esa cuenta temporal. Será la misma cuenta aunque cambie la dirección IP, a menos que el usuario borre sus cookies o utilice un dispositivo o navegador web diferente. Se guardará un registro de la dirección IP utilizada en el momento de cada edición durante 90 días después de la edición. Sin embargo, sólo algunos usuarios registrados podrán visualizarla.
¿Qué significa esto para los distintos grupos de usuarios/as?
Para quienes no inicien sesión
- Esto aumenta la privacidad: actualmente, si no utilizas una cuenta registrada para editar, todo el mundo puede ver la dirección IP de las ediciones que has hecho, incluso después de 90 días. Eso ya no será posible en esta wiki.
- Si en los últimos 90 días utilizas una cuenta temporal para editar desde diferentes ubicaciones (por ejemplo, en casa y en una cafetería), el historial de ediciones y las direcciones IP de todas esas ubicaciones se registrarán ahora juntos, bajo la misma cuenta temporal. Esa información solo podrá ser visible por aquellos usuarios que cumplan los requisitos pertinentes para ello. Si esta circunstancia te crea algún problema de seguridad personal, ponte en contacto con talktohumanrights@wikimedia.org para que te asesoren.
Para los miembros de la comunidad que interactúan con editores que no inicien sesión
- Cada cuenta temporal estará vinculada de forma exclusiva a un dispositivo. Por el contrario, una dirección IP puede ser compartida por varios dispositivos y personas (por ejemplo, distintas personas en una escuela o en el trabajo pueden tener la misma dirección IP).
- En comparación con la situación actual, será más seguro asumir que la página de discusión de un usuario temporal pertenece a una misma persona, y que los mensajes que se dejen allí serán leídos por ella. Como puedes ver en la captura de pantalla, los usuarios de cuentas temporales recibirán notificaciones. También será posible agradecerles sus ediciones, hacerles ping en los debates e invitarles a participar más en la comunidad.
Para quienes utilizando datos de direcciones IP para moderar y mantener la wiki
Para los patrulleros que rastrean a los infractores reincidentes, investigan violaciones de las políticas, etc.: Quienes cumplan los requisitos podrán revelar las direcciones IP asociadas a las cuentas temporales así como todas las contribuciones realizadas por las cuentas temporales desde una dirección IP o rango específico (Special:IPContributions). También tendrán acceso a información útil sobre las direcciones IP gracias a la función IP Info. Muchas otras piezas de software han sido construidas o ajustadas para trabajar con cuentas temporales, incluyendo AbuseFilter, bloqueos globales, Contribuciones Globales de Usuarios, y más. (Si deseas información para desarrolladores voluntarios sobre cómo actualizar el código de tus herramientas, consulta la última parte del mensaje).
- Para las personas bibliotecarias que bloquean a los editores desconectados:
- Será posible bloquear a muchos infractores simplemente bloqueando sus cuentas temporales. Una persona bloqueada no podrá crear nuevas cuentas temporales rápidamente si el bibliotecario selecciona la opción de autobloqueo.
- Seguirá siendo posible bloquear una dirección IP o un rango de IP.
- Las cuentas temporales no se aplicarán retroactivamente a las contribuciones realizadas antes de su implantación. En Epecial:Contribuciones, podrás ver las contribuciones de usuarios IP existentes, pero no las nuevas contribuciones realizadas por cuentas temporales en esa dirección IP. En su lugar, deberías utilizar Special:IPContributions para ver dicha información.
Nuestra petición para ti y próximos pasos
- Si conoces alguna herramienta, bot, gadget, etc. que utilice datos sobre direcciones IP o que esté disponible para usuarios desconectados, quizá quieras probar si funciona en testwiki o test2wiki. Si eres un desarrollador voluntario, lee nuestra documentación para desarrolladores y, en particular, la sección sobre cómo podría ser necesario actualizar tu código.
- Si quieres probar las cuentas temporales, aunque solo sea para comprobar qué se siente, puedes editar sin iniciar sesión en testwiki o test2wiki.
- Cuéntanos si conoces alguna dificultad que deba ser resuelta. Intentaremos ayudarte y, si no somos capaces, estudiaremos las opciones disponibles.
- Mira nuestro mensaje anterior sobre los requisitos para usuarios sin permisos ampliados que puedan necesitar acceso a direcciones IP.
Para aprender más sobre el proyecto, consulta nuestras FAQ – encontrarás la respuesta a muchas preguntas. También puedes consultar las actualizaciones (acabamos de publicar una) y suscribirte a nuestro boletín. Además, si lo deseas, también puedes conversar directamente con Szymon off-wiki, en Discord y Telegram. ¡Gracias!

La to Wikipedia va ponese en mou de llectura
[editar]Lleer esto n'otru idioma • Por favor, ayuda a traducilo a la to llingua
La Fundación Wikimedia prueba'l cambéu ente los sos centros principales de datos y el de respaldu. Esto va garantizar que Wikipedia y les otres wikis de Wikimedia puedan siguir en llinia inclusive después d'un desastre.
Tol tráficu'l va cambiase'l 24 de setiembre. La prueba va empezar a les 15:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation. You can contribute to the translation or proofreading of this banner text.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 24 September 2025.
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.
Please share this information with your community.Trizek (WMF) (Alderique) 15:42 18 set 2025 (UTC)

Help us decide the name of the new Abstract Wikipedia project
[editar]Bones. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. ¡Gracies!
