Enabling Dark mode for logged-out users in this Wikipedia
[editar a fonte]Ola Wikipedians,
Apologies, as this message is not written in your native language. Axuda a traducir á túa lingua.
The Wikimedia Foundation Web team will be enabling dark mode here on your Wikipedia by February 2025 now that pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!
The plan to enable is made possible by the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who ensured that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!
For context, the Web team has concluded work on dark mode. If, on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.
If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create a page: Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/xx.wikipedia.org in MediaWiki (like these pages), and report the issue in the created page.
Thank you!
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon
[editar a fonte]
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:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- 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

Porto Meeting 2025
[editar a fonte]Ola! En xuño de 2023 celebramos a primeira edición de Porto Meeting, un encontro que tivo como obxectivos, entre outros, reunir as comunidades lingüísticas minoritarias, compartir necesidades, proxectos e experiencias, e apoiar as comunidades lingüísticas minoritarias en accións concretas de desenvolvemento tecnolóxico para seguir medrando e participando nos proxectos Wikimedia.
Dado o interese en seguir traballando nesta liña, en 2025 celebraremos unha nova edición. Será do 23 ao 25 de maio de 2025, na Facultade de Letras do Porto e en Miranda do Douro, e a organización corre a cargo de WMPT, WMES, CODA (Centre for Digital Culture and Innovation) e CLUP (Centro de Linguística da Universidade do Porto).
Desde Wikimedia España poderemos cubrir o transporte para unha persoa representante de Galipedia (o resto de gastos corren a cargo de WMPT). Se alguén ten interese en acudir e intervir nalgunha das sesións (por exemplo sobre Problemas das comunidades de línguas da Península Ibérica e Soluções e recursos das comunidades de línguas da Península Ibérica), que me escriba a proyectos(arroba)wikimedia.es.

Estonia
[editar a fonte]Ola! Desde Wikimedia Estonia convidáronnos a organizar un concurso de edición conxunto. A temática sería ambos os países, é dicir: desde Estonia editarán sobre España e desde aquí editaremos sobre Estonia. Aquí suxerimos facelo tamén nas linguas cooficiais.
Sería durante todo o mes de abril e contan con orzamento para premios. Teñen tamén unha lista de temas sobre Estonia, na cal poderiamos basearnos para traducir, por exemplo. A información podería centralizarse en Meta. Que vos parece? Un saúdo. Rubén Ojeda (WMES) (conversa) 6 de marzo de 2025 ás 14:01 (UTC)
- Boas @Rubén Ojeda (WMES), paréceme unha idea xenial! Eu dende logo estou interesado en colaborar no concurso e facer medrar os contidos de Estonia na nosa wiki. Conta comigo. Cando teñas a ligazón coa información do proxecto poderías compartila por aquí? Saúdos meu. Breogan2008 (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2025 ás 22:12 (UTC)

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) 28 de abril de 2025 ás 15:03 (UTC)

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)
[editar a fonte](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) (conversa) 22 de maio de 2025 ás 15:26 (UTC)
Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions
[editar a fonte]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
[editar a fonte]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!

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Galician Wikipedia
[editar a fonte]Ola Galician Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language. Axuda a traducir á túa lingua.
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 Galician 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 17th 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.

Feedback sobre projetos Wikimedia
[editar a fonte]Cara Comunidade Wikimedia,
O Comitê de Assuntos Comunitários (CAC) do Conselho de Administração da Fundação Wikimedia designou a Força Tarefa de Projetos Irmãos (SPTF, na sigla em inglês) para atualizar e implementar um procedimento para avaliar o ciclo de vida de Projetos Irmãos — projetos wiki sustentados pela Fundação Wikimedia (WMF).
Uma visão de conhecimento livre relevante, acessível e impactante sempre guiou o Movimento Wikimedia. Conforme o ecossistema de projetos Wikimedia continua a evoluir, é crucial que revisemos periodicamente projetos existentes para garantir que eles ainda estejam alinhados com nossos objetivos e capacidade comunitária.
Apesar de sua nobre intenção, alguns projetos podem não mais servir efetivamente seu propósito original. Revisar tais projetos não é sobre desistir—é sobre a gestão responsável de recursos compartilhados. Tempo do voluntariado, apoio das equipes, infraestrutura e atenção comunitária são finitos, e os custos não técnicos tendem a crescer significativamente conforme nosso ecossistema entrou numa era diferente da internet do que aquela em que fomos fundados. Sustentar projetos inativos ou projetos que não atenderam às nossas ambições pode não intencionalmente desviar esses recursos de áreas com maior impacto em potencial.
Além disso, manter projetos que não mais refletem a qualidade e confiabilidade do nome da Wikimedia envolve um risco reputacional. Um projeto abandonado ou menos confiável afeta a confiança no movimento Wikimedia.
Por fim, deixar de encerrar ou reimaginar projetos que não estão mais funcionando pode dificultar o início de outros. Quando a comunidade se sente presa a cada decisão antiga—não importa o quão desatualizada ela seja—corremos o risco de estagnar. Um ecossistema sadio precisa permitir a evolução, a adaptação e, quando necessário, o desapego. Se criamos a expectativa de que cada projeto precisa existir por tempo indeterminado, nós limitamos nossa capacidade de experimentar e inovar.
Por causa disso, o SPTF revisou dois pedidos relacionados ao ciclo de vida dos Projetos Irmãos para trabalhar e demonstrar o processo de revisão. Escolhemos o Wikispore como um estudo de caso para uma possível abertura de um novo Projeto Irmão e o Wikinews como um estudo de caso de uma revisão de um projeto existente. Descobertas preliminares foram discutidas na reunião de 11 de setembro de 2024 do CAC, e o CAC recomendou uma consulta à comunidade em ambas as propostas.
Wikispore
[editar a fonte]A candidatura para considerar o Wikispore como um novo Projeto Irmão foi enviada em 2019 [4]. A SPTF decidiu revisar este pedido com mais profundidade porque em vez de se concentrar em um tópico em específico, como fazem a maior parte das propostas de novos Projetos Irmãos, o Wikispore tem o potencial de alimentar vários Projetos Irmãos iniciais.
Após cuidadosa análise, a SPTF decidiu não recomendar o Wikispore como um Projeto Irmão da Wikimedia. Considerando o nível atual de atividade, o estado atual permite melhor flexibilidade e experimentação enquanto a WMF fornece apoio de infraestrutura.
Reconhecemos o potencial da iniciativa e buscamos comentários da comunidade sobre o que constituiria um nível suficiente de atividade e engajamento para reconsiderar seu status no futuro.
Como parte do processo, compartilhamos a decisão com a comunidade Wikispore e convidamos suas lideranças, Pharos, para uma reunião com a SPTF.
Atualmente, convidamos especialmente comentários sobre critérios mensuráveis indicando se o projeto está pronto, como números de pessoas contribuidoras, volume de conteúdo e apoio prolongado da comunidade. Isto esclareceria os critérios suficientes para a abertura de um novo Projeto Irmão, inclusive para uma futura recandidatura do Wikispore. Contudo, os números sempre serão um guia porque qualquer número pode ser manipulado.
Wikinotícias
[editar a fonte]Escolhemos revisar o Wikinotícias dentre outros Projetos Irmãos existentes porque é aquele com o qual vimos o maior nível de preocupação de várias maneiras.
Desde que a SPTF se encontrou em 2023, seus membros pediram por opiniões da comunidade durante conferências e chamadas da comunidade sobre Projetos Irmãos que não cumpriram sua promessa no movimento Wikimedia.[1][2][3] O Wikinotícias foi o principal candidato para uma avaliação porque pessoas de muitas comunidades linguísticas propuseram isso. Além disso, sob a maioria das medidas, é o Projeto Irmão menos ativo, com a maior queda de atividade ao longo dos anos.
Conquanto a Comunidade Linguística costume abrir e fechar versões linguísticas de Projetos Irmãos em pequenas línguas, nunca houve uma proposta válida para fechar a Wikipédia em grande línguas ou qualquer projeto em inglês. Isto não é verdadeiro para o Wikinotícias, onde houve uma proposta para fechar o Wikinotícias em Inglês, que ganhou força mas não resultou em nenhuma ação[4]também a Seção 5 do [5], bem como uma proposta esboçada para fechar todas as línguas do Wikinotícias[6].
Métricas iniciais compiladas pela equipe da WMF também corroboram as preocupações da comunidade do Movimento com o Wikinotícias.
Com base nesse relatório a SPTF recomenda uma reavaliação da comunidade sobre o Wikinotícias. Concluímos que sua estrutura e nível de atividade atuais são os mais baixos entre os projetos irmãos existentes. A SPTF também recomenda pausar a abertura de novas edições linguísticas enquanto a consulta estiver em andamento.
A SPTF traz esta análise para discussão e convida discussões de resultados alternativos, incluindo potenciais esforços de reestruturação ou integração com outras iniciativas Wikimedia.
Opções mencionadas até agora (que podem ser aplicadas apenas em línguas de baixa atividade ou em todas as línguas) incluem, mas não se restringem a:
- Reestruturar como o Wikinotícias funciona e se liga a outros esforços de eventos atuais nos projetos,
- Fundir o conteúdo do Wikinotícias com as versões linguísticas relevantes das Wikipédias, possivelmente em um novo domínio,
- Fundir conteúdo com projetos externos de licenças compatíveis,
- Arquivar os projetos Wikinotícias.
Suas percepções e perspectivas têm valor imensurável na moldagem do futuro desses projetos. Encorajamos todos os membros interessados da comunidade a compartilhar suas opiniões nas páginas de discussão relevantes ou por meio de outros canais designados de feedback.
Feedback e próximos passos
[editar a fonte]Agradeceríamos se você quiser participar de uma conversa sobre o futuro desses projetos e o processo de revisão. Estamos montando duas páginas de projetos diferentes: Public consultation about Wikispore e Public consultation about Wikinews. Por favor, participe entre 27 de junho e 27 de julho, quando resumiremos a discussão para seguirmos em frente. Você pode escrever em sua própria língua.
Também vou organizar uma conversa comunitária no dia 16 de julho, quarta-feira, às 11h UTC, e no dia 17 de julho, quinta-feira, às 17h UTC (os links serão enviados em breve). Estarei disponível durante a Wikimania para mais conversas.

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
[editar a fonte]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!

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.
- How to Sign Up as an Organizer
Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:
- Create a local project page on your wiki (see sample)
- Set up the campaign using the CampWiz tool
- Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:

[editar a fonte]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.
