Чечим кабыл алуучу статусун киргизүү

Урматтуу википедиячылар! Мен бир сунуш киргизейин дегенмин. Бизде статус алгандан жокко эсе ошондуктан статустарды алып википедиячыларды кичине болсо да википедияга кызыктырыш керек. Бул статустар башка тилдерде колдонот. Бул статустарга шайланууну эрежелерин кыска кылып өзүбүздүн саясатыбызга ыңгайлаштырып алып өтүшүбүз керек. Мисалга Википедия:Чечим кабыл алуучу деген статус бар бул жыйынтык же болбосо чечим чыгаруучу болот. Бул статусу бар колдонуучу википедияга 6 айдан көп салым кошкон активдуу колдонуучуга берилет. Бул ар түрдү энциклопедиялык мааниге ээ эмес макалаларды өчүрөт. Мындан сырткары макаланы калыбына келтирүүчү rollback деген статус бар. Бул викидеги вандализмге каршы күрөшөт жана ушул сыяктуу администраторго чейинки баскычтарды басып өтүүчү статустарды киргизсек. Ушуга эмне дейсинер. Анан биргеликте жакшы макала, мыкты макала жана тандалган макала сыяктуу макалалардын даражаларын белгилөөчү эрежелерди да иштеп чыксак.

Мен азыр Чечим кабыл алуучу статусун алуу үчүн эмнелер кылыш керек ошого байланыштуу баракты кыскача кылып түзүп койдум. Андагы кемчилик же каталар болсо, ошондой эле аталышын өзгөртүү керек деп ойлосоңүз талкуу баракчасында ой-пикириңизди жазсаңыз болот.   Mirzoulug'bek |@  07:40, 14 январь 2025 (UTC)

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon

Please help translate to your language

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism 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 a Wiki 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:

1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
4. Request local admins for site notice.
5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. 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

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2025 International Team

Айрым мейкиндиктердин кыскартмаларын орнотуу

Арыбаңыздар. Жаңы талкуу башталды. @Baydastann, @Aiylchy, @Mirzoulugʻbek, @Элдин беги, @Artelow, @Janabaevazizbek, @Kairat Zamirbekov, @Tynchtyk Chorotegin, @Абдырашит Сатылганов Bosogo (баарлашуу) 17:51, 10 февраль 2025 (UTC)

Айрым талаштуу маселелер

Урматтуу википедиячылар! Менде Википедиябыздагы талаштуу маселелер боюнча бир нече сунуштар бар эле.

1. Жыл күндөрү макалаларында (мисалы 13-январь) талаштуу маселелер бар. Ушул эле макаланы карасак "Төрөлгөндөр" бөлүмүнө адамдын аты-жөнү, туулган жылы эле жазылбастан, "төрөлгөн" сөзү кошуп жазылган. Ошондой эле туулган жылын жазгандан кийин дефис (—) белгиси коюлбастан, "жылы" деп жазылган. Менин оюмча бул ашыкчалык болуп эсептелет. Башка викилердин тажрыйбасын карап көрсөк, бизге окшоп жазгандарды көрбөйбүз. Аларда баары жөнөкөйлөштүрүлгөн жана түшүнүктүү. (мисалга жогоруда келтиргеним макала Орус Википедиясында жана Англис Википедиясында)

2. Экинчи маселе бул жалпылап айтканда бир гана Кыргыз Википедиясында колдонулуп жаткан "Аба майдан" сөзү. Эгерде бул булакты карап көрсөк "Аэропорт" сөзү кыргыз тилине "Аба майдан" деп которулганын көрбөйбүз. Дагы бир кызыктуу факт Кыргызстандын эң чоң аба майданы болгон "Манас эл аралык аба майданынын" кире беришине "Манас эл аралык аэропорту" деп жазылып турат. Жадагалса расмий сайтында дагы Аба майдан деген сөз иштетилген эмес. ММКны карап көрсөм, көпчүлүгү аэропорт деп колдонушат экен.

Айтайын дегеним ушулар. Пикириңиздерди угууга ачыкмын. Baydastann 13:05, 20 февраль 2025 (UTC)

@Baydastann

1.1. Колдойм. "Төрөлгөндөр" бөлүмүндө "төрөлгөн" деп жазганыбыз чын эле ашыкча. Контексттен түшүнүктүү.

1.2. Жылдарды "1900-ж." кыскартып көрсөкчү? Адабий тилибизде жылдар дайыма жазылчудай.

Айтор, ал макалада "Америкалык" → "америкалык", "Англиялык" → "англиялык", "Орусиялык" → "орусиялык", "Орус" → "орус" деп оңдоп коюш керек экен. Бул ката көп кездешүүдө. Ошол эле "кыргызстандыкты" эмнегедир баш тамгадан жазышат.

2. Колдойм. Айтканыңыз туура. Bosogo (баарлашуу) 14:01, 20 февраль 2025 (UTC)

@Bosogo

1.2. боюнча айткандарыңызга кошулам. Чынында сиз айткандай кылсак болот. Baydastann 16:52, 20 февраль 2025 (UTC)

Саламатсыздарбы! Мен бул маселе боюнча кайрылганыма 1 айдын жүзү болуп калыптыр. Бирок ушул аралыктын ичинде мен бир эле жооп (пикир) алганга жетиштим. Ойлошумча убакытты текке кетирбей, жогоруда айткандарымды иш жүзүндө аткара берсем. Себеби кээбир макалаларды окуп башым айланып калып жатат. Бирөөсүндө аэропорт, башкасында болсо аба майдан. Башка бирөөсүндө болсо аталышы аэропорт, макаланын ичинде аба майдан сөзү колдонулган. Мындай болбошу керек. Ушундай себептерден улам жогоруда келтиргеним булактарга таянып, аба майдан сөзүн аэропорт деп өзгөртүрөмүн. Албетте каалоочулар болсо алар да өзгөртүрсө болот. Рахмат! Baydastann 20:11, 18 март 2025 (UTC)

@Baydastann Саламатсызбы.

Убагында бул маселелерди байкабай калыптырмын, кеч болсо да оюмду билдирип коюууну туура көрдүм.

1. Биринчи маселе боюнча, жылды толук жазып жана окуя менен «—» белгиси аркылуу ажыратуу туура болчудай. Окуялар 1989-жыл — Бишкек шаарындагы троллейбустар кыймылы токтотулду. Төрөлгөндөр 1989-жыл — Баланча уулу . Каза болгондор 1989-жыл — Төкөнчө кызы Баланча.
2. Экинчи маселе боюнча маалыматтар өтө эле чар-жайыт, жада калса «Эркин-Тоо» мамлекеттик расмий гезитинин расмий сайтында да эки вариант тең колдонулган («Кербен» аба майданы кеңейтилип, реконструкцияланат, «Ош» аэропортундагы учактардын конуусуна киргизилген чектөө алынды). Тил комиссиясынын сайтындагы «Котормо кызматы» барагында да «Аба майдан» жана «Аэропорт» сөздөрү бар, алар орус тилине аэропорт деп которулуп жатат. Толугу менен тактоо үчүн Кыргыз Республикасынын Президентине караштуу Мамлекеттик тил жана тил саясаты боюнча улуттук комиссиясына кат жолдоп көрсөк болчудай.

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool

Hello Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.

The Language and Product Localization team has improved the Content 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 implement this improvement on your wiki on Monday, March 17th, 2025 and remove the current dashboard by 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.

Your wiki will be in read-only soon

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia 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 on 19 March. The switch will start at 14:00 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 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.

Please share this information with your community.

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) 15:07, 6 май 2025 (UTC)

Викимедиа Борбордук жана Чыгыш Европа 2025 жолугушуусуна катышуу (Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2025)

Саламатсыздарбы, урматтуу Кыргыз Википедиясынын жамааты жана активдүү колдонуучулары!

Кыргыз Википедиясында иш алып барганыма бир жарым жыл болуп калыптыр. Бул убакыттын ичинде көп нерсени үйрөндүм, бир катар оңдоп-түзөөлөрдү жүргүздүм жана бир нече жаңы, актуалдуу макалаларды жараттым.

Эми өзүм билбеген көптөгөн нерселерди үйрөнүү, тажрыйба топтоо жана болгон билимимди дагы да тереңдетүү максатында быйыл Салоники (Фессалоники) шаарында өтө турган Wikimedia CEE Meeting жыйынына катышуу үчүн арыз тапшырып көрүүгө ниеттенип жатам. Арыз тапшырууга дагы бир себеп жамааттын айрым мүчөлөрүнүн (@Mamatkazy, @Mirzoulugʻbek, @Элдин беги) колдоосу болуп жатат.

Бул жылкы жыйын мурункулардан айырмаланып, жалпы талкууларга жана воркшопторго өзгөчө көңүл бурулары күтүлүүдө. Анда жасалма интеллект менен иштөө, жаштар менен иштешүү, техникалык маселелер, гранттык мүмкүнчүлүктөр жана жамаатты өнүктүрүү ж.б.у. сыяктуу бүгүнкү күндүн актуалдуу темалары каралат.

Катышуу мен үчүн гана эмес, жамаат үчүн да пайдалуу болот деп ойлойм — топтолгон билим жана тажрыйба менен албетте бөлүшөмүн.

Бардык сунуш жана пикирлерге ачыкмын. Урматтоо менен, Baydastann (талкуу) 05:21, 14 май 2025 (UTC)

@Baydastann

 Колдоймун — Салам,

Эң сонун! Колдойм. Mamatkazy (баарлашуу) 06:20, 14 май 2025 (UTC)

 Колдоймун — Мен да @Baydastannдын талапкерлигин колдоймун. Жаңы нерселерди үйрөнүп, кыргыз викимедиа жамааты үчүн жакшы жаңылыктарды алып келет деп ишенем. Ийгилик! Элдин беги (баарлашуу) 13:34, 14 май 2025 (UTC)

 Колдоймун — Мен википедияга салым кошкон ар бир адамды терең урматтаймын жана колдойм. Baydastann да азыркы учурда википедияда эң жакшы салым кошуп аткан википедиячылардан бири.   Mirzoulug'bek |@  06:53, 15 май 2025 (UTC)

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) (баарлашуу) 15:26, 22 май 2025 (UTC)

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Kyrgyz Wikipedia

Hello Kyrgyz Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language. Please help translate to 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 Kirgyz 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.

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.

UOzurumba (WMF) (баарлашуу) 23:55, 27 май 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for the explanation. We support enabling the “Contribute” entry point on Kyrgyz Wikipedia. It seems like a useful tool to help new and experienced contributors find ways to add and improve content more easily.

We have no objections to activating this feature, including on mobile devices.

Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Best regards, Aiyanakk (баарлашуу) 01:55, 7 июнь 2025 (UTC)

Thank you @Aiyanakk, for your feedback. We will be enabling the Contribute menu to your Wiki soon. UOzurumba (WMF) (баарлашуу) 01:47, 10 июнь 2025 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions

More languages • Please help translate to your language

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 [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. [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 [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!

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews

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

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

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

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.

Айларды жана күндөрдү (дата) жазуу форматы

Саламатсыздарбы!

Кыргыз Википедиясындагы даталар боюнча маселени көтөрүү туура деп чечтим. Сиздер менен биргеликте бул маселени тактап чыгып, кабыл алынган чечимдин негизинде өзгөртүүлөрдү киргизүүнү максат кылып жатам. Кыргыз тилинин эрежелеринин же Кыргыз Республикасынын мыйзамдарынын арасынан даталардын жазылышы жана айлардын кыргызча аталыштарын колдонуу тууралуу так талаптарды же расмий документтерди таба албай койдум.

Ток этер жерин айтканда, төмөнкүдөй суроолор жаралууда:

• Кыргыз тилинде даталарды кандай формада жазуу туура? Айлардын эл аралык (мисалы, март, апрель) аталыштарын колдонуу керекпи же кыргызча (Жалган куран, Чын куран) аталыштарын колдонуу зарылбы? Мисалы, англис тилиндеги March макаласынан кыргыз тилиндеги баракка өткөндө, ал Март деп аталышы керекпи же Жалган куран деп аталышы керекпи?
• Даталарды жазууда кайсы форма туура:
  • 8-март
  • Жалган курандын 8-и
  • Жалган курандын сегизи

Бул маселе кыргызча энциклопедиялык, илимий жана расмий тексттердин бир түрдүүлүгүн камсыз кылуу үчүн маанилүү деп эсептейм. (Июль календары ж.б.у.с. калыптардан 24 -июль (теке) форматтын дагы кездештирсе болот).

Азыркы учурда мамлекеттик интернет булактарында, расмий документтерде жана Жогорку Кеңеш тарабынан кабыл алынган чечимдерде даталар эл аралык стандартта көрсөтүлөт — мисалы, 15-октябрь, январь жана башка. (мисалдар: Тил комиссиясынын сайтындагы даталар, ЖК документтер)

Бул маселени бир стандартка келтирүүдө сиздерден сунуш-пикирлер маанилүү. Ойлоруңуздар менен бөлүшө кетсеңиздер.

Талкуунун жыйынтыгында, жыйынтыктын негизинде Википедиядагы даталарды жана айлардын аталыштарын бир стандартка келтирүүгө аракет кылам.

Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes

(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.

Thank you, - Danny Benjafield (WMDE) on behalf of the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects Team. MediaWiki message delivery (баарлашуу) 12:45, 14 июль 2025 (UTC)

@Incall, керексиз форум барактарын дегенде эмнени айтып жатасыз. Негизи мазмуну жагынан (техникалык, жалпы сунуштар) өз алдынча форум барактары болушу керек. Бизде бардык сунуштар/маселелер Жамаат порталында каралат. --Раскольниковдун иниси (баарлашуу) 08:37, 13 август 2025 (UTC)

Мисалы: ВП:Суроо, ВП:Добуш берүү, бардык билдирүүлөрдү архивге көчүрөм. Incall ^talk 09:11, 13 август 2025 (UTC)

Негизи, ушул барактарды Википедия:Форум/... деп атасак болот, толуп кеткендерин архивдеш керек. Анан ушундай форум барактарын топтоп коюп, сол тараптагы каптал панельге Форум деп койсок болот. Ошондо, Жамаат порталы менен Форум барактарын тапканга оңой болот деп ойлойм. Бул боюнча Орус Википедиясын мисал кылып алсак болот.

Анан, Кеңеш, Суроо, Добуш берүү, Котормолорду талкуулоо ж.б.у.с. барактарды да мазмунунан келип чыгып, тиешелүү барактарга көчүрүп коюш керек деп ойлойм. --Раскольниковдун иниси (баарлашуу) 14:28, 14 август 2025 (UTC)

Саламатсызбы... Негизи ирээтеп койсок бир кыйла ыңгайлуулук түзүлмөк, бирок барактарды архивтөө эң туура багыт, толук түрдө өчүрүүгө каршымын, арасында ушул күнгө чейин ой-пикир алмашкандары бар, алардын салымдарын эске алганыбыз жакшы Абдырашит Сатылганов (баарлашуу) 15:33, 15 август 2025 (UTC)

Саламатсызбы! Мен өчүрүүгө каршымын. Дагы бир маселе Орус Википедиясынан айрым элементтерди көчүрүп алуудан, же алардыкына окшотуудан качсак! Өзү көптөгөн макалалар Орус Википедиясынын макалаларынын стилине окшойт. Аларды өзгөртүп жетише албай жатабыз… Baydastann (талкуу) 17:17, 15 август 2025 (UTC)

Калып:Которулган жок

Сиздин оюңузча, кайсы калып Кыргыз Википедиясы үчүн коозураак көрүнөт — en:Template:Interlanguage link же ru:Ш:Не переведено? @Artelow @Baydastann @Mirzoulugʻbek @Janabaevazizbek @Абдырашит Сатылганов Incall ^talk 13:57, 15 август 2025 (UTC)

Саламатсызбы... Калыпты кайсыл учурда колдонууга карап которуу туура болсо керек мисалы. Эгер орус тилинен түзмө-түз которсок анда "которулган эмес", ал эми аңглис тилинен которсок, менимче "тилдер аралык байланыш" болуп которулса керек.....Ошондуктан алгач калыптын мазмунун билүү керек, которууга мүмкүн эмес болсо, аңглис тилинде калтыруу бир кыйла ыңгайлуу... Бизде көп колдонулбаган ички калыптар аңглис тилинде түзүлгөн. Абдырашит Сатылганов (баарлашуу) 15:26, 15 август 2025 (UTC)

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon

Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation Product Safety and Integrity team. We would like to announce that we plan to enable temporary accounts for this wiki in the week of September 1.

Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.

Why we are building temporary accounts

Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.

Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.

How temporary accounts work

Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.

What does this mean for different groups of users?

For logged-out editors

• This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
• If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who meet the relevant requirements will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.

For community members interacting with logged-out editors

• A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
• Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.

For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki

• For patrollers who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who meet the requirements will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range (Special:IPContributions). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the IP Info feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
• For admins blocking logged-out editors:
  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
• Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.

Our requests for you, and next steps

• If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on testwiki or test2wiki. If you are a volunteer developer, read our documentation for developers, and in particular, the section on how your code might need to be updated.
• If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
• Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
• Look at our previous message about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

To learn more about the project, check out our FAQ – you will find many useful answers there. You may also look at the updates (we have just posted one) and subscribe to our new newsletter. If you'd like to talk to me (Szymon) off-wiki, you will find me on Discord and Telegram. Thank you!

Server switch - Your wiki will be read-only for a short time soon

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia 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 on 24 September. The switch will start at 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.

Migration to Parsoid

Read this in another language

Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the Parser Unification project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the Extension:ParserMigration documentation.

There is more information about our roll-out strategy available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our known issues documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the Content Transform Team in Phabricator.

Администраторлорго кайрылуу

Урматтуу администраторлор! Сиздерден Кыргыз футбол клубдарынын, Кыргызстан Жогорку Лигасынын, Кыргыз Футбол Биримдигинин логотиптерин Кыргыз Википедиясына киргизип берүүңүздөрдү суранам. Макалаларга аябай керек болуп жатат. Азыр файл кылып бир гана админдер киргизе алышат экен. Baydastann (талкуу) 19:09, 7 январь 2026 (UTC)

Арыбаңыздар! Кайрылууга кошулам. Урматтуу администраторлор, эгер сиздерде файл киргизүүгө убакытыңыздар же каалооңуздар жок болсо, сураныч, файл киргизүү укугун мага бериңиздер. Мен орус Википедиясына футболго байланыштуу бир топ логотиптерди киргизгем. Футболго байланыштуу дагы көптөгөн макалалар жазылат, буюрса. Arsensky (баарлашуу) 08:31, 10 январь 2026 (UTC)

Спорттук мелдештер жөнүндө макалалардын аталышы

Урматтуу Википедиячылар! Бизге спорттук мелдештер жөнүндө макалалардын аталышы боюнча чогу бир консенсуска келиш керек болуп жатат. Буга чейин @Baydastann коллега экөөбүз быйыл өтө турчу футбол боюнча дүйнө чемпионаты жөнүндө макаланын туура аталышы жөнүндө талкуу кылдык, бирок бир чечимге али келген жокпуз. Ошондуктан чогу талкуу кылып, бир консенсуска келгенге аракет кылалы.

Чемпиондук же чемпионат

Baydastann коллегабыз "чемпионат" десек туура болот деп эсептеди, менин оюмча "чемпиондук" туура болот. Мисалы: "Кыргызстан футбол чемпиондугу".

"Футбол боюнча" же жөн эле "футбол"

Менин оюмча "боюнча" деген сөздү макаланын аталышынан алып салсак болот. М: Кыргызстан улуттук футбол курамасы, «Манчестер Сити» футбол клубу, Футбол дүйнө чемпиондугу, Испания футбол кубогу, Германия футбол суперкубогу ж.б.

Аталыштагы жылдын саны

Англис тилинде жылдын саны башында жазылат (мисал: 2026 FIFA World Cup), ал эми орус тилинде — аягында (Чемпионат мира по футболу 2026). Менин жеке оюм боюнча жылдын санын башында жазган оң. Себеби дегенде толук аталышы 2026-жылкы футбол боюнча дүйнө чемпионаты болот. Кыскартыш үчүн "жылкы" деген сөздү алып салсак "2026 Футбол дүйнө чемпиондугу" десек туура болот деп ойлойм.

---

Дагы башка мелдештердин аталыштары:

• 2026 Дүйнөлүк көчмөндөр оюндары
• 2028 Жайкы олимпиада (же олимпиялык?) оюндары
• 2025/2026 УЕФА Чемпиондор лигасы
• 2025 Күрөш дүйнө чемпиондугу
• 2027 АФК Азия кубогу (же 2026 Футбол Азия кубогу)
• 2026 23-жашка чейинки АФК Азия кубогу

Мен өзүмдүм оюмду туп-туура деп айта албайм, ошондуктан сиздерди талкууга чакырам. Баарыбыз биригип, бир чечимге келели. Arsensky (баарлашуу) 08:57, 13 январь 2026 (UTC)

Пикирлер

• Саламатсызбы!

Жакшы макалаларды жазып, активдүү салым кошуп жатканыңыз байкалып турат, ийгилик каалайм!

Негизи кыргыз тилинин сөз жасоо логикасына ылайык «футбол чемпиондугу» формасы кыргызча туура жана табигый угулат. Айрым булактарда «чемпионаты» деген түрү да кездешкени менен, кыргыз тилинин нормасына көбүрөөк туура келгендиктен «чемпиондугу» деген аталышты колдоону туура деп эсептейм.

«Боюнча» деген сөздү макаланын аталышынан алып салса да болот, анткени спорттун түрү так көрсөтүлүп турат.

Жылдын аталыштын башында турушу кыргыз тилинин грамматикалык нормасына туура келет, ошондуктан бул сунушту толук колдойм.

Жыйынтык: 2026 Футбол дүйнө чемпиондугу Aiyanakk (баарлашуу) 12:56, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

• Урматтуу акылдуу википедиячылар! Мен футболдун ичинде жүргөн адам катары түшүндүрүүгө аракет кылып көрөйүн. Морфологиялык жана грамматикалык маанилерин да жазайын.

Бүгүнкү күндө, жок негизи эле “Чемпиондугу” деп аталбайт. Өзү “чемпиондугу” деген сөз “Чемпион” сөзүнөн жасалган, -дугу мүчөсү абалды, наамды билдирет. Негизги мааниси болсо: Чемпион болуу абалын, жетишкендигин билдирет. Мисалга: Ал клуб өлкө чемпиондугун утту. Бул жерде маани ошол чемпионаттын чемпиондугун утуп турганында. Ал эми “Чемпионат” болсо — белгилүү бир спорт түрү боюнча уюштурулган расмий мелдештердин жыйындысы. Мисалга: Жакында өлкө чемпионаты башталат. Эгер муну өлкө чемпиондугу башталат десек, кантип өлкө чемпиондугу башталышы мүмкүн, өлкө чемпиондугу колго киритилет, чемпиондукка жетишилет. Түшүндүрө алдым деген ойдомун.

Дагы бир маселе, “боюнча” көмөкчү сөзү кошулуусу же алынуусу жөнүндө. Бул ышарат сөз, эч качанда алынбайт. Бул кыргыз тилинин эрежелеринде жазылган. Эч ким аны өз башымча буза албайт. Боюнча көмөкчү сөзү кошулбаса, сүйлөмдөгү, же аталыштагы маани толук берилбейт. Мен түшүнбөдүм, эмнеге боюнча сөзүн алып салуу боюнча талкууга коштуңуздар, эмне кыргыз тилинин эрежелерине каршы чыгууну каалап турасыздарбы? Эгерде ушунчалык маанилүү болсо, Тил комиссиясына кайрылыңыздар, анык жооп аласыздар.

Менин тандоом: 2026 Футбол боюнча дүйнө чемпионаты. --Baydastann (талкуу) 14:52, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

Ошондо Кыргызстан футбол боюнча улуттук курамасы болобу? Arsensky (баарлашуу) 16:30, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

«Барселона» футбол боюнча клубу болобу? Же кандай? Arsensky (баарлашуу) 16:32, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

Билбейм, сиз атайын каршы тургандай сезим калтырып жатасыз. Талкуунун өзүнө жараша эрежелери бар. Сиз азыр өзүңүз анык билип турасыз, мен “боюнча” көмөкчү сөзүн “Футбол боюнча дүйнө чемпионаты” темасына байланыштырып жазганымды. Кыскасы, эмнени ойлосоңуздар, ошону жасай бериңиздер. Мен өзүмдүн жеке оюмду жазып койдум, түшүнүктүү кылып. Baydastann (талкуу) 16:38, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

Албетте жок, сиз менден караганда кыргыз тил эрежелерин көбүрөөк билгендей сезилди. Орой мамиле кылгандай көрүнсөм, кечирим сурайм. Сизден кандай туура болорун сурап жатам. Сиздин айтышыңыз боюнча көмөкчү сөз эч качанда алынбайт. Ушул жерде алыныш керек эмеспи деген ой пайда болду. Arsensky (баарлашуу) 16:45, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

Бул жерде Кыргызстан улуттук футбол курамасы кала берет. Baydastann (талкуу) 16:32, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

• Сунуш: Чемпионат эмес, биринчилик деген сөздү колдонсок кандай болот? Мисал: 2026 Футбол (боюнча) дүйнө биринчилиги. Arsensky (баарлашуу) 16:38, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

  Кыргыз Википедиясынын телеграм тайпасы бар. Бир кирип көрүңүз, ал жерге кыргыз энциклопедиясы китебинен маалыматтар жөнөтүлдү, фото түрүндө. Окуп көрүңүз. Baydastann (талкуу) 16:41, 16 январь 2026 (UTC)

Feminism and Folklore 2026 starts soon

Please help translate to your language

Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026

Dear Wiki Community,

We are pleased to invite Wikimedia communities, affiliates, and independent contributors to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2026 writing competition on your local Wikipedia.

The international campaign will run from 1 February to 31 March 2026 and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.

About the Campaign

Feminism and Folklore is a global writing initiative that complements the Wiki Loves Folklore photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the gender gap on Wikipedia by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and marginalized voices.

What Can Participants Write About?

Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:

• Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
• Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
• Women and queer figures in folklore
• Women in mythology and oral traditions
• Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
• Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
• Folk games, sports, and cultural practices

Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.

Campaign Tools

The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:

• Article List Generator by Topic – Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
• CampWiz – Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.

Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access the tools

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

We are delighted to invite Wikimedia affiliates, user groups, and community organizations worldwide to participate in Wiki Loves Folklore 2026, an international initiative dedicated to documenting and celebrating folk culture across the globe.

About Wiki Loves Folklore

Wiki Loves Folklore is an annual international photography competition hosted on Wikimedia Commons. The campaign runs from 1 February to 31 March 2026 and encourages photographers, cultural enthusiasts, and community members to contribute photographs that highlight:

• Folk traditions and rituals
• Cultural festivals and celebrations
• Traditional attire and crafts
• Performing arts, music, and dance
• Everyday practices rooted in folk heritage

Through this campaign, we aim to preserve and promote diverse folk cultures and make them freely accessible to the world.

Host a Local Edition

As we celebrate the eight edition of Wiki Loves Folklore, we warmly invite communities to organize a local edition in their country or region. Hosting a local campaign is a great opportunity to:

• Increase visibility of your region’s folk culture
• Engage new contributors in your community
• Enrich Wikimedia Commons with high-quality cultural content

Sign up to organize:

If your team prefers to organize the competition in either February or March only, please feel free to let us know.

If you are unable to organize, we encourage you to share this opportunity with other interested groups or organizations in your region.
