Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue April to June 2023 ↗
'''Backlog'''
'''Redirect drive''': In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with '''23851''' reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to '''0''' (momentarily). Congratulations to {{Noping|Hey man im josh}} who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by {{noping|Meena}} and {{noping|Greyzxq}} with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page ↗ for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
'''Redirect autopatrol''': All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here ↗.
'''WMF work on PageTriage''': The WMF Moderator Tools team ↗, consisting of {{noping|Samwalton9 (WMF)|label1=Sam|JSherman (WMF)|label2=Jason|SCardenas (WMF)|label3=Susana}}, and also some patches from {{noping|Jon (WMF)|label1=Jon}}, has been hard at work updating PageTriage ↗. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test ↗ where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed ↗, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR ↗ when we are ready for beta testers.
'''Articles for Creation (AFC)''': All new page reviewers are now '''automatically approved''' for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP ↗ like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script ↗, visit Special:Preferences ↗, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed ↗, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR ↗. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional ↗, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
'''Pro tip''': Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG ↗? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST ↗ 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

'''Reminders'''

- There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord ↗ and {{IRC|wikimedia-npp}} on IRC.
- Please add the project discussion page ↗ to your watchlist.

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
- {{flagicon|New York (state)}} Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
- {{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
- {{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews ↗. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small>
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

<div style="clear:both"></div>
----
'''Highlights'''
- '''Community Protection''': Wikimedia Foundation secured Indonesian government’s commitment ↗ to user safety, privacy, and content integrity ahead of administrative registration in Indonesia.
- '''Stronger protections against bots''': Wikimedia Foundation is replacing our CAPTCHA with a new approach ↗ to detect bad-faith activities without making things harder for users.
- '''Transparency Report:''' The Wikimedia Foundation has published its latest Transparency Report ↗. This provides an overview of the work to protect Wikimedia projects and support the volunteer communities who handle the majority of content requests. Our users trust us to protect their identities against unlawful disclosure, and we take this responsibility seriously, granting only 1 of 30 requests for disclosure we received from July to December 2025.
'''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>
right|thumb|150px|Mock-up of the Wikipedia app reading challenge. ↗
- '''Reading Challenge''': As part of the 25th birthday celebrations, Wikipedia Mobile Apps launched a limited-time feature, the 25-day reading challenge with Baby Globe ↗. This challenge encourages a daily habit of reading one Wikipedia article. The goal is to motivate users to come back to the app regularly.
- '''Latest experiments''': One upcoming experiment ↗ is introducing the Incident Reporting System (IRS) to help contributors easily find the right place to seek help when facing harassment or other issues. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology ↗.
- '''Change in how new users are autoconfirmed''': The account age for autoconfirmed users ↗ will now start ↗ from their first edit, not the registration date. This is to avoid exploitation by vandals. This change will only apply to wikis that require at least one edit for autoconfirmation.
- '''Organized Reading lists''': All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the “automatically enable most beta features” option can now use the reading lists ↗ beta feature. This lets you save articles for later reading and keep it organized in one place for easy access.
- '''Thumbnail size preferences''': Default thumbnail size preference for article content is now limited to three sizes ↗: Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px). This change aims to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. Current preferences will shift to the nearest new size.
- '''Wikifunctions''': To make the development of Abstract Wikipedia visible, the Foundation is requesting your input ↗: which metrics about Abstract Wikipedia pages do you deem important?
- '''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 18 ↗ and 19 ↗ include improvements on Global Watchlist ↗. See also the 62 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
'''Annual Goals Progress on Volunteer Support ↗'''<br/><small>''See also blogs: Global Advocacy blog ↗ · Global Advocacy Newsletter ↗ · Policy blog ↗ · WikiLearn News ↗ · The Wikipedia Library ↗ · list of movement events ↗''</small>
- '''Annual Planning''': We welcome your feedback ↗ on the main talk page ↗ for the 2026–2027 draft Annual Plan and many other places ↗ for the coming fiscal year.
- '''Wikimania''': Wikimania is a joyful event. It is a chance to celebrate our community and projects, share ideas and information, build connections among Wikimedians, and inspire and develop future projects. If you and your community are interested in hosting Wikimania in 2028 and 2029 submit an expressions of interest ↗.

- '''Don't blink''': The latest developments ↗ from around the world about protecting the Wikimedia model, its people and its values.

'''Board and Board committee updates'''<br /><small>''See Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard ↗ · Affiliations Committee Newsletter ↗''</small>
- '''Wikinews closure''': All Wikinews have been closed ↗ and switched to read-only mode. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles will be able to be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions.
- '''Affcom News''': Read the latest issue of AffCom News (January-March 2026) ↗ to learn more about the latest news about the work of Wikimedia's Affiliations Committee ↗.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗
'''Backlog update'''
At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.
After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.
'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''
74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.
Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.
{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.
'''January–February backlog drive'''
The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.
'''May backlog drive'''
An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.
'''PageTriage'''
An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

'''Reminders:'''
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord ↗.

A new newsletter materializing? Quick, help us reverse the polarity of the neutron flow so it can safely land on your talk pages!
<big>'''Don't be lasagna (because there's a new newsletter to read)'''</big>
: Hello, and welcome to our first 2026 issue of ''The Space-Time Telegraph''. Inside you'll find plenty of information about recent happenings in our little ''Who'' corner of Wikipedia. We've also included a plethora of ''Doctor Who'' news you may have missed elsewhere in the last few months such as the finding of previously missing episodes, upcoming and recent product releases, a new streaming home for ''Who'' across the pond (and even a potential future partnership for new episodes). So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and jump on in!
</center>
{{columns-start|num=2}}
<big>'''Into the Vortex! (Of Good and Featured Content)'''</big>
:Since our newsletter last December, the ''Doctor Who'' WikiProject has seen a large amount of quality article improvement. So far, 16 Good Articles have been improved this year! We're at about the same pace we were last year, which is always good to see, especially given the twelve other articles nominated for GA status at present. Special shoutouts to users {{noping|Rhain}} for their improvements on First Doctor ↗ serials, {{noping|SkywalkerEccleston}} for their various improvements across a wide variety of articles, {{noping|Lbal}} for their work on Full Circle (''Doctor Who'') ↗, and {{noping|Doomitron}} for their work on Sixth Doctor ↗.
:Additionally, since then, Ice Warrior ↗ has been improved to Featured Article status, List of ''Doctor Who'' creatures and aliens ↗ and List of ''Doctor Who'' characters ↗ have been improved to Featured List status, and three Good Topics focused on articles relating to the Midnight Entity ↗, the Slitheen ↗, and ''Doctor Who'' series 15 ↗ have been nominated and approved.
:Congratulations to all of the users who have improved quality ''Doctor Who'' articles in the past few months!
<big>'''A flabbergasting discovery'''</big>
:In March, it was announced that episodes 1 ("The Nightmare Begins") and 3 ("Devil's Planet") of ''The Daleks' Master Plan ↗'' were found by the charity Film is Fabulous! in a private collection among some films. The collector gave them permission to have them and sadly passed away not long after. Upon learning of the discovery through Toby Hadoke ↗, actor Peter Purves ↗, who starred in the episodes alongside William Hartnell ↗ and Adrienne Hill ↗, said "My flabber has never been so gasted". The episodes were shown at a BFI ↗ screening (with Purves in attendance) in April and are now available on BBC iPlayer ↗ in the UK and the official Doctor Who Classic YouTube ↗ channel in the US. This means that episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 of ''The Daleks' Master Plan'' are now available.
:It has been hinted that more could be found in the near future as 95 episodes remain missing.
<big>'''Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network'''</big>
- The 1996 American-produced ''Doctor Who'' television film ↗ was remastered in 4K using the original film reels for a Blu-ray release this May. The restored version includes both the UK and U.S. broadcast versions and new special features.
- Big Finish Productions ↗ recently extended their contract with the BBC ↗ to continue licensing the ''Doctor Who'' franchise intellectual property for audio stories through 2035. The first new production to be confirmed following this announcement, is a fifteen-part box set featuring David Tennant set to begin releasing bimonthly next year.
- In February, the First Doctor ↗ serial ''The Rescue ↗'' was published on vinyl record ↗ as a special release for Record Store Day ↗ in the United Kingdom.
- ''Circuit Breaker'', a new multi-platform story starring Jo Martin ↗ as the Fugitive Doctor ↗ was announced by BBC Studios ↗ to launch this June. Spanning audio, books, comics, games, magazine, internet, and Blu-ray releases, tells a singular interconnected story about UNIT's Black Archive across several mediums.
- Seventeen years after its last release, Character Options is releasing a new five-part set of ''Doctor Who'' figures beginning in July.
- In the United States, AMC+ ↗ has secured rights to be the exclusive streaming video on demand host of all 2005–2022 ''Doctor Who'' episodes. This era of ''Who'' has been unavailable to stream in the States since its removal from HBO Max ↗ in July 2025. Noticeably absent from press releases are mention of spin-off series ''Torchwood ↗'' and ''The Sarah Jane Adventures ↗''; while these shows have historically been packaged with this era of ''Who'' in streaming deals on HBO Max, before that on Amazon Prime Video ↗, as well as Netflix ↗ and Hulu ↗ in the ancient days, there is no confirmation if these will be included. Elsewhere in America, Classic ''Who'' has it's own streaming home on BritBox ↗ (yes, BritBox still exists on this side of the pond), while the 60th anniversary specials and Gatwa's era remain on Disney+ ↗ for the foreseeable future. Disney has also yet to release ''The War Between the Land and the Sea ↗'', a five-part miniseries previously marketed by the company as releasing outside of the UK and Ireland in "early 2026". There is also no news on where, if anywhere, future episodes of ''Who'' will air or stream in the United States (or elsewhere worldwide, for that matter); however, AMC Global Media ↗ (the owner of AMC+) owns BBC America ↗, which it regularly licenses BBC content for and was the linear broadcaster of ''Who'' from 2009–2022, and a non-controlling ownership stake in BritBox ↗. AMC+ was also previously the next-day streamer of ''Who'' episodes during the Jodie Whittaker ↗/Chris Chibnall ↗-era as a transitional period between their broadcast on BBC America and release on HBO Max. Given this, and the global reach of AMC+, it's a feasible home for future new episodes and even the rumored potential of a co-production deal to fill the funding deficit left by Disney.
<big>'''Succession'''</big>
:The oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse since Arnold Yarrow ↗'s death in December 2024, Laurie Webb ↗, sadly passed away on 29 March aged 101 years, 327 days. He remains the fifth longest-lived person associated with the Whoniverse and the tenth to become a centenarian. The title of oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse is now held by 97-year-old Peter Cellier ↗ (''Time-Flight ↗'').

<div style="margin-top:10px; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">''Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on May 8. Please help translate ↗.''</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
----
'''Highlights'''
- '''Community Wishlist discussion''': Product & Technology introduced changes ↗ meant to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging in discussions ↗ about a proposed direction for the wishlist ↗ from community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing updates ↗.
- '''Digital Public Goods''': The Wikimedia Foundation has become a member ↗ of the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA).
- '''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.
'''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>
right|thumb|200px|Example of the Attribution Framework recommendations. ↗
- '''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 ↗.

<div style="margin-top:10px; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">''Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on June 5. Please help translate ↗.''</div>
----
'''Highlights'''
[[File:Baby Globe in Paris.gif|thumb|150px|The Wikimania program is now live ↗!]]
- '''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 ↗! Take a moment to review the program, and, if you are logged in, you can mark your "must see” sessions with a star to start building your personal schedule. 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).
- '''Mentors' management''': The Growth team will soon provide a system to automatically suspend or remove inactive mentors from the list of mentors ↗. Communities can already start configuring the process in the Community Configuration.
- '''Collaborative''' '''Contributions''': If you need help setting up the Collaborative Contributions and the Goal setting features, check out these video guides ↗. 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.
- '''Grantmaking strategy & Affiliate model''': Members of the Global Resources Distribution Committee ↗ (GRDC) and the Affiliations Committee (AffCom) ↗ met to advance two key movement initiatives: the development of a new Grantmaking strategy and a refreshed Affiliate Model. They produced initial proposals and advanced work on both initiatives ahead of broader conversations planned for Wikimania 2026.

WikiCup 2026 July newsletter
The third round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 June at 23:59 (UTC). As a reminder, good article nomination reviews ↗ now receive 10 points, while peer reviews ↗, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews ↗, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.
Round 3 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; eight scored over 500; and thirteen scored over 300. The top three contestants had at least one featured article ↗ (two of them with two apiece). The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
- {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant17|MCE89}} with 1567 points, mainly from good and featured articles about Australian people and geography, as well as some article reviews
- {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant17|Bgsu98}} with 1547 points, mainly from good articles, featured articles, featured lists, and a good topic about figure skating, along with 20 article reviews
- {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant17|Reconrabbit}} with 1004 points, mainly from a high-multiplier featured article on European rabbit ↗ and several good articles, DYKs, and reviews
- {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant17|A.Cython}} with 1004 points, mainly from good articles about warfare, along with 22 article reviews
- {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant17|Generalissima}} with 859 points, mainly from good and featured articles about rivers and East Asian topics
The full scores for round 3 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 7 featured-topic articles, 117 good articles, 74 good-topic articles and more than 30 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 13 In the News ↗ articles, and they have conducted nearly 180 reviews. The tournament points table ↗ has been updated.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

'''Highlights'''
- '''Wikipedia 25''': Wikipedia's 25th birthday was celebrated with various projects designed to grow awareness and support for Wikipedia and the people who make it possible. This includes the virtual birthday event on January 15, which garnered 10,000 live viewers and 15,000 reactions. Find more details on all related projects and results in the program report ↗.
- '''Sustainable use of Wikimedia infrastructure''': A valid user-agent string will now be required for automated dumps downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. This extends enforcement ↗ of the long standing user-agent policy ↗. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services will not change.
- '''Increasing account creation''': The experiment ↗ providing direct access to “Create account” and “Log in” actions on mobile increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality. The feature will now be rolled out to all wikis ↗ on mobile web.

- '''Add A Link''': The Foundation deployed Add A Link ↗ as a default-on suggestion within Suggestion Mode ↗. It is now launched on all wikis to all editors who have opted in to the Suggestion Beta Feature.
- '''Reusing references''': Sub-referencing ↗, the new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, was deployed to most small and medium-sized Wikipedia language versions.
- '''Wikifunctions''': Check out the 71 new functions ↗ with implementations to get a taste of what functions have been created.
- '''Range calculator''': The special page Special:RangeCalculator ↗ has been created. It allows users to find an IP range without needing to rely on external tools. Until now, this tool was only available to CheckUsers.
- '''Captcha verification''': Abuse filters that are set to “require CAPTCHA verification” now also affect users ↗ with the <code>skipcaptcha</code> right, which includes most autoconfirmed users. Bots are exempted. This change only affects edits that trigger an abuse filter.
- '''Latest experiments''': An upcoming experiment ↗ is testing two variations of a "thank you" badge shown to donors after a recent donation to deepen the relationship between donors and the Wikimedia movement. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology ↗.
- '''Account security on private wikis''': Two-factor authentication ↗ will become mandatory for user accounts on private wikis. This will protect private information from being exposed by an account with a compromised password.
- '''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News week 26 ↗ and 27 ↗ include users will now get a notification when they are blocked or unblocked from editing, or if this block changes. See also the 65 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
- '''Team Challenges''': The core organizing team for Wikimania is introducing Team Challenges ↗, a different approach to Wikimania Hackathon. This year, Wikimedians and professionals from other fields will join forces to undertake one of the 2026 technical challenges.
