**Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences**
Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.
Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this  Registration form. 
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.
The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.
For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

**Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?**
Apologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.- The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen.  More information here.- Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.- Compensation is available.- Sessions will be held in January and February.-  Sign up here if you are interested.- Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you,  Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

**Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2024: We are back!**
right
Hello, dear Wikipedians!

**Invitation to participate in the #WPWPCampaign 2024**
Dear community members,
We are inviting you to participate in the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024 campaign, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation your language Wikipedia. We’d be glad for you to sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities page on Meta-Wiki.
Thank you,

**Will you help us test - Improve how edits from Wikidata are shown in your Watchlist and Recent Changes**
(Apologies for posting in English)
Hello everyone, the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is working towards improving how Wikidata edits are represented in your Recent Changes, Related Changes and Watchlist.
Below is an example of how a Wikidata edit can be shown in your Watchlist. The edit summary uses P-numbers and Q-numbers to describe what change has occurred at Wikidata and is shown somewhere in the article you are watching:
How a (Wikidata) edit summary appears in Wikipedia Watchlist
If you are not very familiar with Wikidata, the information conveyed in this way may not be clear on what has changed and we would like to explore ways to make these edit summaries less confusing and easier to understand, firstly by swapping Q- and P-numbers for their Labels, as seen in the example below:
An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s
Did you know? For Wikidata edits to be visible at all, they must first be enabled. This can be done in your Preferences:Watchlist and Preferences:Recent Changes settings, or by clicking the checkmark box from the Filters dropdown on the Watchlist and Recent Changes menu.
In short, we would like to test these changes on your Wikipedia. The changes would only occur to edit summaries that are generated by Wikidata, the majority of edit summaries will remain unchanged. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reply here, or you can post them to the Task Discussion page. Please feel free to reply in your language or English, I will use a machine translator to translate but I am only able to reply in English, sorry! 
If you are interested in following this topic or hearing about our future work, we invite you to subscribe to our Mailing List. I will do my best to answer as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, - Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (คุย) 20:52, 14 เมษายน 2568 (+07)
Hello Lerdsuwa, please forgive the pings but I could not get any traction on my first post. Would Thai Wikipedia be a willing pilot wiki to receive the changes we suggest on Watchlist notifications when a Wikidata edit affecting a Wikipedia article is made? We would really like to include Thai Wikipedia as a non-Latin alphabet Wiki.
Please feel free to ask any questions about what this would mean below or on the dedicated talk page. Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (คุย) 21:28, 23 เมษายน 2568 (+07)

**Sub-referencing: User testing**
right
Apologies for writing in English, please help us by providing a translation below
Hi I’m Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team. We are making great strides with the new sub-referencing feature and we’d love to invite you to take part in two activities to help us move this work further:
#Try it out and share your feedback
#:Please try the updated wikitext feature  on the beta wiki and let us know what you think, either on our talk page or by  booking a call with our UX researcher. 
#Get a sneak peak and help shape the Visual Editor user designs
#:Help us test the new design prototypes by participating in user sessions –  sign up here to receive an invite. We're especially hoping to speak with people from underrepresented and diverse groups. If that's you, please consider signing up! No prior or extensive editing experience is required. User sessions will start May 14th.
We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life!  Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 22:04, 28 เมษายน 2568 (+07)

**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 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.
Thank you in advance! -- User:Sannita (WMF) (talk) 22:08, 6 พฤษภาคม 2568 (+07)

**RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)**
(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) () 22:27, 22 พฤษภาคม 2568 (+07)

**Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Thai Wikipedia**
Thai Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language. .
The WMF Language and Product Localization team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.
The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Thai Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.
Mobile Contribute Page                             Mobile contribute menu (detailed)
For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.          
We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th June 2025.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no   objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!
On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.

**Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions**
 •  
Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end 1. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff 2. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) 3, is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here 4.
Here are the key planned dates:- May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period 6- June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates- July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply 5- August 2025: Campaign period- August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period- October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates- Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|link.
Call for Questions
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|link
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|link.

**  Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension**
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 the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the week 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.
The three main features of this extension are:- Event Registration: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.-  Collaboration List: A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at Special:AllEvents.-  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, including Meta, 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.
Thank you!
