Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album)

:Hi Jonathan Deamer, I think I've done the best I can with the plot section; I've reduced it to 900-ish words. There's some complex details and lots of characters to deal with, so I don't think it's possible to remove much more without losing details. I considered removing the song titles but decided they're useful for locating points in the narrative. The 700-word limit is a guideline and there'll always be exceptions, so I think it should be fine. Good luck with your planned GA nom and cheers, '''<span style="color:#191960">Baffle☿''gab''</span>''' 19:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC).

Following a request for comment ↗, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15 ↗, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model ↗ (LLM) without human review.

Following a request for comment ↗, there is a new policy ↗ outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts ↗. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ↗ ahead of time.

Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.

Streak awards ↗ will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.

Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles ↗ previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.

All general sanctions ↗ imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard ↗ (WP:AE ↗) as a result of a recent RfC ↗.

Changes ↗ to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy ↗'s disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal).

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 5

'''Supporting readers''': For most of its history, Wikipedia did not have to worry about attracting readers.

Have a look at some of the ongoing and planned work to support reader experience. ↗

Work is still ongoing in some areas ↗, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads.

'''Wikipedia 25 Grants''': The celebration continues! The Wikimedia Foundation offers Wikipedia 25 Birthday Funds ↗ to communities planning Wikipedia’s 25th birthday events with funding between USD 1,000–2,000. Apply before March 31.

'''Experiments''': The Foundation is frequently conducting experiments to help learn what features will be most effective and valuable to the projects. The list of experiments in Product and Technology ↗, tracks upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments as well as their rationale. For example, the tracker shares that one upcoming experiment, Reader to Contributor Baseline ↗, will measure how many readers create contributor accounts and whether the rate differs depending on how people arrived to the site.

'''Mobile experience''': The user menu in the top corner for all mobile users is standardized ↗ so that it is closer to the desktop experience to improve the user interface for readers.

'''Two-factor authentication''': For security reasons, members of certain user groups are required to have two-factor authentication ↗ (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will gradually change in March ↗.

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 8

'''Annual Planning''': The Wikimedia Foundation published the draft Annual Plan ↗ for the coming fiscal year (2026–2027) which will focus on four main goals that directly respond to the external trends. The goals include increasing our reach, deepening engagement, protecting our projects and building speed and resilience to enable the change needed to respond to the internet being at an inflection point. Feedback welcome on the talk page ↗ and many other places ↗.

'''Global conversation''': A global conversation about the Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan ↗ will take place on May 7 at 5:00 PM UTC.

'''Sustainable reuse of Wikimedia content''': The Attribution API ↗ is now in beta ↗. It makes it easier to credit Wikimedia content fairly wherever it is used. It provides all information required by the Wikimedia Attribution Framework ↗ in a single, well-structured and easy-to-use endpoint, simplifying attribution for off-wiki reuse. Share your feedback on the project talk page ↗.

'''Feedback on Article guidance''': Experienced editors are invited to test ↗ the Article guidance ↗ feature. This tool helps less-experienced editors create structured, policy-compliant Wikipedia articles. Review the outlines ↗ and share your feedback on the project talk page ↗.

'''Update to Wikipedia app for iOS''': A major update to the Wikipedia app for iOS has rolled out, redesigning the interface to align with Apple’s latest “Liquid Glass” visual design. Download the latest version ↗ and explore the update.

'''Confirming email addresses''': On several wikis, logged-in editors who haven’t confirmed their email addresses ↗ now see a banner encouraging them to do so. Confirming the email address ↗ helps users restore account access if they lose it and receive messages about their accounts. It also provides an easy option to communicate with other users off-wiki if they choose. As of early 2026, about 62.9% of all registered Wikimedia user accounts ↗ that have an email set had not confirmed it.

'''Testing mobile web page previews''': Mobile page previews ↗ experiment was launched on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page previews are pop-ups that show a thumbnail, a lead paragraph, and a link to the full article to improve content discovery. It is already available on desktop and in the apps.

'''Account creation experiment''': Account creation experiment ↗ is live on Hindi, Indonesian, Bengali, Thai, and Hebrew Wikipedia targeting 10% of logged-out mobile web users. It looks at whether adding a button to create accounts in the mobile web header boosts new registrations and increases mobile users contributing to the wikis.

'''Experimenting with Hybrid Search on mobile apps''': The Hybrid Search Phase 1 experiment ↗ on the Wikipedia Android app has concluded. It tested a combined keyword and meaning-based search methods to meet various information needs. The team is analyzing data and feedback, and will share insights and next steps soon.

right|thumb|150px|Top read element on the current Explore Feed on Android ↗

'''Latest experiments''': See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology ↗. One upcoming experiment ↗ is testing a refreshed Explore Feed to make it easier for readers to discover interesting content and visit Wikipedia app more often.

'''Wikifunctions''': Wikifunctions crossed 4,000 functions, with subtracting two complex numbers ↗ as the 4,000th function. Also, Abstract Wikipedia reached 1,000 articles. The article about the famous Indian Brahmin Chanakya ↗ marked this milestone.

'''Reading lists now a beta feature''': New accounts are now opted into Reading lists ↗ by default on all Wikipedia wikis. This brings the "Save pages" feature to the web, which has been popular in mobile apps. For users in the beta, a "Save page" (bookmark) button appears in the toolbar on every page. The watch/unwatch (star) option moves to the tools menu. The "Watchlist" button in the top navigation shifts to the user menu. A new "Saved pages" button takes its place. In June, the feature will be available to all users and a user preference will be added to choose between two sets of buttons: Watch + Watchlist or Save + Saved list. The other set will be in the tool and user menus.

'''Structured Contents''': Article Images and Lists now in Structured Contents payloads ↗.

'''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 16 ↗ and 17 ↗ include CodeMirror 6 being promoted out of beta on Tuesday, April 21. See also the 45 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

'''Around the puzzle globe in the America region''': More than 60 people joined America call ↗ to discuss the annual plan and the global trends impacting the movement. Participants came from across the region, and the audience included a mix of affiliates from LATAM, online contributors, and users with extended rights.

'''Transparency Report:''' The Wikimedia Foundation published a transparency report ↗ covering July to December 2025.

'''Board and Board committee updates'''<br/><small>''See Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard ↗ · Affiliations Committee Newsletter ↗''</small>

'''Board selection process''': The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is reviewing and improving how it 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 and share your ideas on the talk page ↗.

Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055 ↗).

The autoconfirmed ↗ user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484 ↗).

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

The arbitration case ''SchroCat ↗'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.

Per a recent motion ↗, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue ↗ are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.

Per a recent motion ↗, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.

The arbitration case ''Maghreb ↗'' has been closed.

class=skin-invert|20px|alt= ↗ '''Miscellaneous'''

The May 2026 administrator elections ↗ are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ↗ ends May 5.

The 2026 Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election ↗ is scheduled to run from April 25 to June 1. Candidacy submissions ↗ close on May 10.

A '''new noticeboard ↗''' for non-urgent, batch page protection requests has been created, primarily for the enforcement of contentious topic restrictions ↗.

'''Better bot detection''': A trial of 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 and stewards ↗ signals to look into. Based on these results, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis. See the project page ↗ for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections.

'''A better way to give credit''': The Wikimedia 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.

'''Baby Globe joins the Reading Challenge''': The Android and iOS Wikipedia apps released the 25-day reading 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.

'''Account security''': The Foundation is technically enforcing that all privileges that enable users to take security- or privacy-sensitive actions ↗ can only be held by users who have enabled two-factor authentication ↗. 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.

'''Incident reporting form''': The Foundation began a trial on English Wikipedia ↗ of the incident reporting form. 60% of unblocked logged-in users see a new Report button, allowing them to report conduct issues.

'''Encouraging account creation''': Following a successful account creation experiment ↗, an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis this week. The change ↗ will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session.

'''Wikimedia Android App''': The Wikipedia Android App is at the Phase 1 ↗ 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.

'''Better discovery of images''': The Image Browsing ↗ 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 images from the article’s carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely ↗.

'''Reading Lists feature''': The Foundation is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists ↗ 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.

'''Testing Suggestion Mode''': Suggestion Mode ↗ 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.

'''Wikifunctions now supports Wikidata references''': References in Wikidata statements are now available on Wikifunctions ↗, and you now can use external links in Wikifunctions-generated citations ↗. 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.

'''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 know on Meta ↗.

'''Latest experiments''': An upcoming experiment ↗ 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 in Product & Technology ↗.

'''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 20 ↗, 21 ↗, 22 ↗, 23 ↗ include an experiment to test a new Share Card 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.

'''Tech blog moved to Diff''': The migration of 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.

'''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 Wikipedia Library ↗.

'''New course on WikiLearn''': A free self-paced online course ↗, designed for researchers who want to make their field more visible on Wikipedia, was launched on WikiLearn. Share "Wikipedia for Researchers ↗” if you work with early-career researchers, teach in an academic institution, or support open knowledge communities.

'''Wiki Mentor Africa:''' The first edition of Wiki Mentor Africa - Women Tech Summit ↗ brought together over 315 registered participants across Africa to learn, explore, and grow in tech together.

'''Let's Connect Learning Clinic''': If you missed it, you can now watch the recording ↗ 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.

'''Community Conferences''': Registration for WikiConference North America ↗ and Queering Wiki Conference ↗ is now opened. Call for Speakers ↗ for the Queering Wiki is also opened until June 30.

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 11

'''Community Wishlist''': Weigh in on proposals and open questions on how the wishlist will operate in the future. ↗

'''Simplifying account creation:''' The Foundation is working on improving the account creation process ↗ to reduce potential friction for newcomers to create an account. Improvements include making "Create Account" icon more prominent on mobile, simplifying the registration form, and introducing real-time username validation.

'''New U4C members elected:''' The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) has new members ↗ and has two remaining vacancies in Middle East & North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.

'''Wikimania conference program''': The Wikimania 2026 program is now live ↗!

Register for a virtual ticket ↗ here, if you haven't signed up yet.

'''Neutral Point of View''': A proposal for a baseline NPOV standard ↗ for Wikipedias that do not have one was published, with a community discussion ↗ open until July 15, 2026.

'''Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure ↗'''<br/><small>''See also newsletters: Wikimedia Apps ↗ · Growth ↗ · Product Safety and Integrity ↗ · Readers ↗ · Research ↗ · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia ↗ · Tech News ↗ · Language and Internationalization ↗ · other newsletters on MediaWiki.org ↗''</small>

thumb|250px|Screenshot showing the Explore Feed refresh in the Wikipedia app (from the Community tab entry point) ↗

'''App Explore feed''': The redesigned App Explore feed ↗, now called "Home", has been released to all Android users. The update introduces a refreshed feed experience along with the first set of new content modules, including Did You Know, Places of Interest, Random Article, and a new end-of-feed experience. Additional content and improvements are planned in future releases.

'''Wikipedia games''': The Which came first? ↗ daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia’s “On This Day” content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first.

'''Reusing references''': Sub-referencing ↗, a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, has been rolled out to Group 1 wikis ↗ and French Wikipedia following a successful pilot phase.

'''Article guidance''': The Article guidance ↗ feature is being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles. A quick guide to markups used in outlines can be found on this page ↗. Example outlines ↗ that can be adapted and instructions for how to adapt them are on this section ↗ of the project page.

'''Mobile Page Previews''': The Page Previews experiment ↗ on mobile web has concluded with the decision not to roll out the feature. The results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention – the primary success metric. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link.

'''Wikifunctions''': You can now add images ↗ to Abstract Wikipedia and the loading and display of test results when viewing Functions has been improved.

'''Wikidata''': The Foundation is migrating the Wikidata Query Service ↗ (WDQS) away from the Blazegraph backend since it no longer scales efficiently with Wikidata’s growth. The migration will take place in several phases. Here is the timeline ↗.

'''Growth features:''' Growth features are now available at Wikidata ↗!''' ''' Wikidata administrators are still configuring the features through Community Configuration, but this update enables access to Mentorship (if configured ↗), Impact, the Help Panel, and a simplified Newcomer Homepage (without Suggested Edits).

These features allow you to view which edits are made during an event and allows the group to track progress against a goal with a public progress bar. Learn more ↗.

'''Latest experiments''': An upcoming experiment ↗ 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 in Product & Technology ↗.

'''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News week 24 ↗ and 25 ↗ include how the user interface icon library ↗ is being updated. ↗ Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. See also the 62 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

'''Digital Safety''': Join a conversation about Using AI Safely. ↗ It'll explore risks & concerns of using AI tools in personal and organisational contexts and practical strategies to reduce those risks. It will take place at 03:30 UTC & 14:30 UTC on June 26. This session is not about using AI to edit Wikipedia. It's focused entirely on safe personal and organisational use.

'''Don't Blink''': Read the latest developments ↗ from around the world about protecting the Wikimedia model, its people and its values. Highlights include exploring the implications that new child safety regulations have on privacy online.
