Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
[mute käldee]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!

Wikikysely
[mute käldee]Ensinnäkin pahoittelut, että kirjoitan suomeksi, mutta ajattelin välittää kutsun myös tänne koska Wikimedia Suomi tekee yhteistyötä inarinsaamenkielisten wikipedistien kanssa. Kyselyn kysymykset on myös pelkästään suomenkielinen tällä hetkellä, koska tämä ensimmäinen koeversio kyselytökalusta. Ollaan tekemässä siihen laajempaa kielitukea myöhemmin. --Zache (savâstâllâm) 29. porgemáánu 2025 tme 02.12 (EEST)
Hei, Wikimedia Suomi on tekemässä kyselyä wikimedisteille siitä, mitä Wikimedia Suomen halutaan tekevän ja mielipiteistä eri asioihin ylipäätänsä. Kyselyllä saatuja tietoja käytetään mm. ensi vuoden toimintasuunnitelman tekemiseen.
- Kyselyyn voit vastata sivulla https://wikikysely.toolforge.org
Kysely on Polis-tyyppinen eli siinä vastaajat voivat esittää myös omia kysymyksiä ja väitteitä siten, että niihin voi vastata kyllä tai ei. Kyselyn projektisivu on suomenkielisessä Wikipediassa w:fi:Wikiprojekti:Wikikysely 2025, mutta tarkoitus on, että kyselyyn voivat osallistua muutkin kuin suomenkielisen Wikipedian muokkaajat. Vastatakseen kyselyyn pitää kirjautua Wikimedian OAuth-kirjautumisella, ja kysely ei näytä, mitä yksittäiset henkilöt ovat vastanneet, vaan se yhdistää kaikkien vastaukset tilastoiksi. Kun vastauksia on hiukan enemmän, lisään kyselytyökaluun mahdollisuuden suodattaa vastauksia käyttäjäryhmän mukaan (esim. näytä pelkästään yli 100 muokkausta tehneiden vastaukset) Ylipäätänsä haluan sanoa, että kaikki palaute kyselyn toimivuudesta ja sen kehittämisestä on tervetullutta. Ennen kaikkea olisi hienoa saada lisää kysymyksiä ja vastauksia, jotta näkemyksistä syntyy kattavampi kuva. -- Zache (savâstâllâm) 29. porgemáánu 2025 tme 02.12 (EEST)

Feminism and Folklore 2026 starts soon
[mute käldee]
- 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.
- 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:
- Campaign timeline
- Local and international prizes
- Request a site notice from local administrators (see sample)
- Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the Meta project page
- 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
- Learn More & Get Support
For detailed information about rules, timelines, and prizes, please visit the Feminism and Folklore 2026 project page.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out via:
- Meta talk page
- Email us using details on the contact page.
- Join Us
We look forward to your collaboration and coordination in making Feminism and Folklore 2026 a meaningful and impactful campaign for closing gender gaps and enriching folk culture content on Wikipedia.
Thank you and best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2026 International Team

Invitation to Host Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Your Country
[mute käldee]
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

- 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
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.
- Get in Touch
If you have any questions, need support, or would like to explore collaboration opportunities, please feel free to contact us via:
- The project Talk pages
- Email: [email protected]
We are also happy to connect via an online meeting if your team would like to discuss planning or coordination in more detail.
Warm regards,
The Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

Migration to Parsoid
[mute käldee]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.
