Wikidata weekly summary #724

Latest comment: 4 months ago 1 comment1 person in discussion
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2026年03月23日. Missed the previous one? See issue #723.

Discussions

  • New requests for permissions/Bot:
    • AraBot - Tasks: Adding Aragonese sitelinks and updating articles on Aragonese Wikipedia with Wikidata's data.
    • InventaireBot - Task: Make automated edits generated by the inventaire.io (Q32193244) server and manual edits on behalf of users without a Wikidata account.
  • Closed request for permissions/Bot: DelintBot - Task: Fix lint errors on pages across all namespaces where Wikitext can be written (namespaces not managed by Wikibase).
  • New request for comments: archive.today - due to a RfC and policy on enwiki, this discussion needs your input on whether Wikidata will continue listing archive.today links.
  • Ongoing request for comments: Notability policy reform is looking for input about remaining questions around marginalized knowledge and external identifiers

Events

  • Upcoming events: (German) Art History Loves Wiki im Museum Schnütgen, YouTube livestream – 28 March 2026 (UTC+1): presentations by Lisa Dieckmann at 12.30 - 12.50 ("Bilder verknüpfen – prometheus, Normdaten und Wikidata"), Lucy Patterson & Lukas Fuchsgruber at 16.30 - 16.45 ("Kritische Arbeit mit Sammlungsdaten auf Wikidata"), and Max Kristen at 17.30 - 17.45 ("usefulQueries: Unkompliziert Kunstgeschichte in Wikidata erkunden").

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

Tool of the week

  • Wikidata Property Creation Helper takes a property proposal page and translates it into a QuickStatements batch (and then a second one for the examples) that a property creator can use to quickly create a new property. By ArthurPSmith

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • GraphQL API ongoing feedback: If you haven’t tried it yet, you can still explore it as a developer-friendly alternative to select WDQS features. Please Share your feedback on the project page, or sign up for deeper usability testing.

Newest properties and property proposals to review

You can comment on all open property proposals!

Did you know?

  • Newest WikiProjects: WikiProject LAGL (Linked Ancient and Greek Latin) has been established to develop guidelines for adding statements for ancient authors.
  • WikiProject Highlights: WikiProject IDEA: Oral Histories - International (Digital) Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA) added a subpage for resources, guidelines and progress for adding oral history Items and Statements.
  • Showcase Items: Ngondo (Q3339328) - worship of water oracles and associated cultural traditions among the Sawa

Development

  • Infrastructure sustainability: We started working with a contractor to look at Wikidata's data storage to find opportunities for improving it.
  • Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are continuing the work on a prototype to compare a wiki page before and after it has been parsed to see if this is a feasible way to reduce the number of Wikidata changes in recent changes and watchlist that do not affect the article (phab:T419823)

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2026-13

Latest comment: 4 months ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional "Log in with passkey" button will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The screen recording demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at 15:00 UTC. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, which happen twice a year. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.

Updates for editors

  • Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a new Toolforge tool. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced.
  • Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an early version of an experience that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project.
  • The Special:Block now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at: MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown.
  • Mobile editors at several wikis can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance account creation experience on mobile and then increase participation.
  • [画像:Recurrent item] View all 36 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the bug that prevented mobile web users from seeing the block information when affected by multiple blocks has been fixed. They can now see messages of all the blocks currently affecting them when they access Wikipedia.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Images built using Toolforge will soon get the upgraded buildpacks version, bringing support for newer language versions and other upstream improvements and fixes. If you use Toolforge Build Service, review the recent cloud-announce email and update your build configuration as necessary to ensure your tools are compatible.
  • The API Portal documentation wiki will shut down in June 2026. API keys created on the API Portal will continue to work normally. api.wikimedia.org endpoints will be deprecated gradually starting in July 2026. Documentation on the API Portal is moving to mediawiki.org. Learn more on the project page.
  • [画像:Recurrent item] Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2026-14

Latest comment: 4 months ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • The Beta version of Abstract Wikipedia a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. Read more.

Updates for editors

  • The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. Read more.
  • The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap "Edit". This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.
  • [画像:Recurrent item] View all 45 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where citation fetching from the large newspaper archive Newspapers.com was no longer working, due to a block in Citoid requests, has now been fixed.

  • The arbitration case Maghreb has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 7 April.

Tech News: 2026-15

Latest comment: 3 months ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • The CampaignEvents extension now includes a new group goal-setting feature, enabling organizers to set and track event goals such as the number of articles created and participating contributors in real time. Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in the documentation.
  • Wishlist item The new watchlist labels feature (announced in Tech News 2026-07) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via EditWatchlist. In all three places it is a new field following the expiry field.
  • [画像:Recurrent item] View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where talk pages on mobile with Parsoid are unusable after empty section headers, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

  • The sub-referencing feature, which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to more wikis later this year. Wikis using the Reference Tooltips gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js as shown here) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected.
  • All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. Read more.
  • The Action API has had several formats for requested output. One of them, format=php, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the JSON format. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots.
  • The Special:NamespaceInfo page now includes namespace aliases. For example "WP" for the "Project" ("Wikipedia") namespace on the German Wikipedia.
  • [画像:Recurrent item] Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
