  "textContent": "_Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on May 8. Previous editions of this bulletin are\non Meta_.\n\n##  ****Highlights****\n\n  * **Community Wishlist discussion** : Product & Technology introduced\nchanges meant to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging\nin discussions about a proposed\ndirection for the wishlist from community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing\nupdates.\n  * **Digital Public Goods** : The Wikimedia Foundation has\nbecome a member of the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA).\n  * **Better bot detection** : A trial\nof hCaptcha on several Wikipedias, including English, French, and Japanese, showed it can effectively detect and deter bad-faith automated activity, on its own and by giving checkusers\nand stewards signals to look into. Based on these results, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis. See\nthe project page for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections.\n\n\n\n## **Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure**\n\n_See also newsletters: Wikimedia\nApps · Growth · Product\nSafety and Integrity · Readers · Research · Wikifunctions\n& Abstract Wikipedia · Tech\nNews · Language\nand Internationalization · other\nnewsletters on MediaWiki.org_\n\nExample of the Attribution Framework recommendations.\n\n  * **A better way to give credit** : The\nWikimedia Attribution Framework and API makes it simple for developers to fairly credit volunteer contribution. When anyone encounters Wikimedia content, we want them to know that it comes from our projects, and they are invited to participate.\n  * **Baby Globe joins the Reading Challenge** : The Android and iOS Wikipedia apps released the 25-day\nreading challenge, to drive readers engagement through reading milestones. To track their reading streak during the challenge, users can add a widget featuring Baby Globe to their home screen.\n  * **Account security** : The Foundation is technically enforcing that all privileges\nthat enable users to take security- or privacy-sensitive\nactions can only be held by users who have enabled two-factor\nauthentication. Logging in with passkeys is quicker than logging in without two-factor authentication. In addition, logged-in users can see a banner encouraging them to confirm their email address. These changes secure individual accounts as well as communities and the wikis.\n  * **Incident reporting form** : The Foundation began a trial\non English Wikipedia of the incident reporting form. 60% of unblocked logged-in users see a new Report button, allowing them to report conduct issues.\n  * **Encouraging account creation** : Following a successful\naccount creation experiment, an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis this week. The\nchange will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session.\n  * **Wikimedia Android App** : The Wikipedia Android App is at the Phase\n1 of redesigning its Home Feed. The new feed includes two tabs:  _Community,_ featuring refreshed Explore content, and  _For You,_ with personalized reading recommendations based on reader interests and activity. The  _For You_ feed refreshes daily with updated suggestions.\n  * **Better discovery of images** : The Image\nBrowsing beta feature was rolled out for all Wikipedias on mobile following two successful experiments. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article’s images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to exclude\nimages from the article’s carousel or to exclude an article from\nthe feature entirely.\n  * **Reading Lists feature** : The Foundation is conducting an experiment to show the reading\nlists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment was launched on May 18 on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and will run for a month.\n\n\n\nA design mockup of what the share card looks like.\n\n  * **Testing Suggestion Mode** : Suggestion\nMode was released as an A/B test for newcomer editors on the mobile website at ~15 Wikipedias. The experiment will measure its impact on the proportion of newcomer mobile web edit sessions that result in constructive (un-reverted) article edits. It will also evaluate the feature’s impact on editor retention and monitor changes in revert and block rates.\n  * **Wikifunctions now supports Wikidata references** : References in Wikidata statements are now available\non Wikifunctions, and you now can use external links in Wikifunctions-generated\ncitations. This allows the use of more than 1.3 billion references available in Wikidata and adding them as citations to individual statements in Abstract Wikipedia.\n  * **Pilot wikis adopting Abstract Wikipedia:** The Abstract Wikipedia team has identified five potential pilot wikis to assess their interest in adopting abstract articles on their wikis. The pilots are Malayalam, Bengali, Dagbani, Arabic, and Indonesian Wikipedia. If your community is interested in becoming a pilot, let us\nknow on Meta.\n  * **Latest experiments** : An upcoming\nexperiment is testing whether we can serve readers better when a footnote click in read mode shows the full bibliographic information rather than flying them to the reference list. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments\nin Product & Technology.\n  * **Tech News** : The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 20, 21, 22, 23 include an experiment to test a new Share\nCard feature that allows readers to create visually engaging cards from Wikipedia articles and share them online See also the 92 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.\n\n\n\n## **Annual Goals Progress on Volunteer\nSupport**\n\n__See also blogs: Global Advocacy\nblog · Global\nAdvocacy Newsletter · Policy\nblog · WikiLearn\nNews · The\nWikipedia Library · list of\nmovement events__\n\n  * **Tech blog moved to Diff** : The migration\nof the Techblog to Diff is now complete: 138 posts going back over a decade have been successfully migrated. Diff is now happy to welcome technology-focused blog posts with renewed vigor.\n  * **What’s new in the Wikipedia Library** : Access to the American Psychological Association was renewed and collections from the Harvard Business Review and Swiss Media Database (Swissdox) are now available to editors who are eligible for The\nWikipedia Library.\n  * **New course on WikiLearn** : A\nfree self-paced online course, designed for researchers who want to make their field more visible on Wikipedia, was launched on WikiLearn. Share “Wikipedia\nfor Researchers” if you work with early-career researchers, teach in an academic institution, or support open knowledge communities.\n  * **Wiki Mentor Africa:** The first edition of Wiki\nMentor Africa – Women Tech Summit brought together over 315 registered participants across Africa to learn, explore, and grow in tech together.\n  * **Let’s Connect Learning Clinic** : If you missed it, you can now watch the\nrecording of the Let’s Connect Learning Clinic “How to support up-and-coming groups in the movement as a long-time Wikimedian” with Wikimedistas El Salvador.\n  * **Community Conferences** : Registration for WikiConference\nNorth America and Queering\nWiki Conference is now opened. Call\nfor Speakers for the Queering Wiki is also opened until June 30.\n\n\n\n## **Annual Goals Progress on Effectiveness**\n\n_See also: Progress\non the annual plan_\n\n  * **Sharing the Form 990s:** The Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Endowment published their Form 990s, covering the fiscal year that ran from July 2024 to June 2025. The Form 990 is an annual form required of all nonprofit organizations in the United States. You can read the highlights on Form\n990 for the Foundation and Form\n990 for the Endowment on Meta-Wiki.\n  * **Wikimedia Enterprise** : Wikimedia Enterprise’s free API accounts gets a\nsubstantial upgrade across the Snapshot and On-demand APIs, including free access to Structured Contents Snapshots.\n  * **Structured Contents** : How\nDatabricks Parsed Wikipedia to Markdown with Python.\n\n\n\n## **Board and Board committee updates**\n\n_See Wikimedia\nFoundation Board noticeboard · Affiliations\nCommittee Newsletter_\n\n  * **Board selection process** : The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is reviewing and improving how\nit selects new members. The goal is to ensure that there is the right mix of expertise and community representation on the board. Join the conversation on 16\nJune at 17:00 UTC, and share your ideas on the\ntalk page.\n\n\n\n## ******Other Movement curated newsletters & news******\n\n_See also:_ Diff blog · Goings-on · Planet\nWikimedia · Signpost\n(en) · Kurier\n(de) · Actualités\ndu Wiktionnaire (fr) · Regards\nsur l’actualité de la Wikimedia (fr) · Wikimag\n(fr) · Education · GLAM · Milestones · Wikidata · Central\nand Eastern Europe · other\nnewsletters\n\nIf you have feedback or suggestions about the bulletin, let us know at foundationbulletin@wikimedia.org.
