| Azerbaijani Wikipedia | Vikipediya:Süni intellektdən istifadə [b] | Qayda (Policy) |
The use of LLMs is only accepted when it is of an auxiliary nature, such as improving grammar and style, summarizing sources, translating, or planning the structure of an article. In all of these cases, the output should be carefully checked. Unedited LLM-generated content is prohibited in mainspace. | |

| Bulgarian Wikipedia | Уикипедия:Използване на изкуствен интелект [d] | Essay | ||
| Cantonese Wikipedia | Wikipedia:電腦gen出嚟嘅內容 [e] | Policy | Proposal | LLM-generated content contains issues with NPOV, V, OR, copyright and other policies. LLM content which contravenes policies will be considered disruptive editing. Editors are discouraged from using LLMs to assist editing in any way as the output is currently low quality; while banning generative AI technology is impossible due to the widespread use of it in commercial tools, editors must exercise caution and check carefully any output from a computer program. AI-generated pictures are not generally accepted for use on Wikipdia. |

| Chinese Wikipedia | 维基百科:快速删除 § G21 [c] | 方針 (Policy) |
18 September 2025 | Translated from the English Wikipedia speedy deletion criterion. |
| 維基百科:大語言模型 [a] | 論述 (Essay) |
April 2023 | Largely translated from a part version of the English Wikipedia guideline. It goes over some issues of LLMs with regard to OR, V and NPOV, as well as copyright issues, but it does recommend using AI to paraphrase, summarise sources, or copyedit, contrary to the corresponding enwiki version. It notes the need to be familiar with the limitations of LLMs, and the need for editors to be responsible for their own edits and carefully check all of the output. | |

|
| German Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Künstliche Intelligenz [d] | Richtlinie (Guideline) |
15 February 2026 | The use of LLMs to generate or edit content in mainspace is prohibited, besides translations, which should be fully checked for correctness.
The use of AI-powered tools in mainspace is only allowed if each suggested edit is verified by a human, and no AI-generated content is added beyond spelling and grammar corrections. The use of LLMs in other namespaces is also prohibited. |

| Italian Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Intelligenza artificiale [d] | Linea guida (Guideline) |
5 July 2025 | The use of LLMs to generate original content is prohibited in both articles and drafts. LLMs can be used for stylistic review or paraphrasing, to suggest ideas, and to draft non-original content such as wikitext lists or tables in one's sandbox. LLM translations are treated the same way as other machine translations.
Users must be fully aware of the limitations of LLMs and properly assess their risks. Human review is necessary, and users take full responsibility for their edits. LLM use should be disclosed in the edit summary and on the talk page. AI-powered semi-automated tools are prohibited. |

| Russian Wikipedia | Википедия:Нейросеть [b] | Руководство (Guideline) |
22 March 2026 | Unedited LLM content is prohibited in mainspace. Content should be fully checked before being added, and disclosure in the edit summary or on the talk page is recommended. Content violating these rules should be deleted or corrected. In doubt, the content should be temporarily reverted while consensus is sought.
Bulk LLM-created articles should be deleted if they violate policies or guidelines. A lack of content-checking in several articles is enough to justify mass deletion. |
| Википедия:Критерии быстрого удаления § C7 [c] | Правила (Policy) |
23 August 2025 | Speedy deletion criterion: | |

Proposal | An obviously AI-generated article can be deleted without needing to take into account any negative reactions from the author. In cases of doubt, the article can always be moved to a suitable sandbox. AI tools can be helpful if used in a controlled manner, for example for technical and time-consuming tasks. |

[edit ]Open proposals Essays
| Project | Policy | Status | Date passed | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Azerbaijani Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Use of artificial intelligence | Policy | Proposal | LLM-generated content is prohibited in discussions. It can be accepted as a tool to help refine ideas in some cases, for example by correcting grammar or translating terms, although the generated content should be carefully checked. |
| Chinese Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines § How to provide feedback | Guideline | 30 November 2025 | LLM-generated comments should be manually proofread. Clearly LLM-generated comments may be collapsed or removed. |
| English Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#LLM-generated | Guideline | Do not use LLMs to generate comments for discussions. (Grammar correction and similar refinements are acceptable.) | |
| Finnish Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Using artificial intelligence
Wikipedia:Tekoälyn käyttö (Policy)[a] |
Policy | 10 May 2026 | AI-assisted comments must be disclosed when AI contributed substantially to their content or structure. Fully AI-generated comments and AI-based arguments are discouraged. |
| German Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence | Guideline | 15 February 2026 | The use of LLMs outside of mainspace is prohibited. |
| Italian Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence | Guideline | 5 July 2025 | LLMs should be avoided in discussions, although their use to reformulate one's comments is allowed. AI outputs may not be used as data or arguments in discussions. |

Images and media
[edit ]Open proposals
| Project | Policy | Type | Date passed | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wikimedia Commons | AI-generated media [d] | Guideline | 12 June 2024 | Per the Commons project scope, only media that are realistically useful for an educational purpose should be hosted on Commons. Just because an AI image is interesting, pretty, or looks like a work of art, that doesn't mean that it is necessarily within the scope of Commons. While some AI-generated media fall within our scope, media that lack a realistic educational use may be nominated for deletion. |
| AI images of identifiable people | 15 February 2026 | Images of identifiable people created by AI are not allowed on Commons unless the image in question was published by the person it depicts, or the image in question is the subject of non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. Photographs of people that are subsequently altered by AI are not allowed on Commons unless the original, unaltered image is linked and the AI-modified file is tagged. | ||
| Azerbaijani Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Use of artificial intelligence | Policy | Proposal | The use of AI images is prohibited, except for images used by reliable sources and disclosed by those sources as AI. In that case, the use must still be appropriate and non-misleading, and the image should be disclosed as AI in its caption. |
| Chinese Wikipedia | None | As of 5 April 2026, the Chinese Wikipedia appears to have no restrictions on the use of AI-generated or -modified images. | ||
| English Wikipedia | AI-generated images [l] | Policy | 14 April 2025 | Most images wholly generated by AI should not be used in mainspace, especially for named people and in technical or scientific subjects such as anatomy and chemistry. This rule should be applied "subject to common sense and with a number of exceptions". Obvious exceptions include articles about AI and articles about notable AI-generated images; other categories of exceptions may arise through further community discussion. Community members have largely rejected making exceptions merely because an image lacks obvious errors, or because no free non-AI-generated images are available. |
| German Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence | Guideline | 15 February 2026 | As an exception to the AI guideline, LLM-generated or -modified images may be used sparingly. Outside of the AI topic area, such images must only be used with prior talk page consensus. AI-generated and -modified images must always be declared as such and cannot be used to replace unavailable real images, such as a person's portrait. |
| Finnish Wikipedia | AI-generated multimedia content | Policy | 10 May 2026 | AI-generated or significantly AI-modified media must be labeled. Such images must not depict named real people and should be avoided when an accurate representation is required. |
| Italian Wikipedia | Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence | Guideline | 5 July 2025 | AI-generated media should not be used, except to illustrate topics related to AI image generation. They should never depict living persons, and should be indicated as AI-generated through templates and captions. |
| English Wikibooks | Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence [d] | Policy | 14 December 2025 | Any permissible media made with the help of an LLM must be explicitly marked as such in both the edit summary and the page's discussion page, and include the date of generation/addition, the tool and version, and the prompt(s). If incorporated into a page multiple times, each instance must be documented separately, including on the talk page. |
