Feminism and Folklore 2026 starts soon
- 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

Enabling Dark mode for logged-out users in this Wikipedia
[urnosen ti taudan]Hello Wikipedians,
Apologies, as this message is not written in your native language. Please help translate to your language.
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.
Phased deployment of the CampaignEvents extension across various Wikipedias
[urnosen ti taudan]Hello!
Apologies for writing this message in English.
I am writing on behalf of the Campaigns product team who are planning a global deployment of the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, starting with a small batch in April 2025.
The Ilokano Wikipedia is one of the wikis proposed for this phase! This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, wikiprojects, and other on-wiki collaborations. Also making these events/wikiprojects more discoverable. You can find out more here on the FAQs page.
The three main features of this extension are:
- Event Registration: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
- Event List: A calendar to show all events on your wiki. Soon, it will include WikiProjects too.
- Invitation Lists: A tool to find editors who might want to join, based on their edits.
Please Note:
This extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer," which will be managed by the administrators of Ilokano Wikipedia, allowing the admins to decide when and how the extension tools are used on the wikis.
Once released, the organizer-facing tools (Event Registration and Invitation Lists) can only be used if someone is granted the Event-Organizer right, managed by the admins.
The only tool that is available immediately after release is the ‘’Collaboration List’’, which is a read-only page that lists events and WikiProjects that people can join.
The extension is already on some wikis,e.g Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia (see full list). Check out the phased deployment plan and share your thoughts by March 31, 2025.
To Admins,
your feedback and thoughts are especially important because this extension includes a new user right called "Event Organizer," which will be managed by you. Once you take a look at the details above and on the linked pages, we suggest drafting a community policy outlining criteria for granting this right on Ilokano Wikipedia. Check out Meta:Event_organizers and Wikidata:Event_organizers to see examples.
For further enquiries, feel free to contact us via the talkpage, or email ikristiani@wikimedia.org.
Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Iloko Wikipedia
[urnosen ti taudan]Hello Iloko Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language. Please help translate to your language.
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 Iloko 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 26th May 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. UOzurumba (WMF) (tungtungan) 20:50, 12 Mayo 2025 (UTC)
CampaignEvents Extension Now Active on this Wiki!
[urnosen ti taudan]Good news! The CampaignEvents extension is now active on this Wiki as part of Phase 2 of the global deployment! This extension empowers organizers to plan and promote events like edit-a-thons, data-a-thons, and meetups with ease.
What You Can Do Now:
- Event Registration & Invitation Lists: Organizers can ask this wiki’s admins for the Event-Organizer right. This gives access to tools for planning, managing events, Wikiprojects and finding editors who share similar interests to invite for your upcoming event or wikiproject. These tools make organizing events simple and smooth.
- Collaboration List: You can now go to the “Special:AllEvents” page on this wiki to explore a global, automated calendar of upcoming and ongoing events, as well as WikiProjects on this wiki. It’s a great way to discover and promote collaborative activities!
- Transclude Collaboration list: You can now add the Collaboration List to any page, like this wiki’s main page, WikiProject pages, or even User pages. This creates a calendar that updates automatically with events that match your wiki or topic. You can also transclude a list of the WikiProjects on the wiki. Learn more at: mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list/Transclusion.
For further enquires, feel free to contact us via the extension talkpage or email Benedict Udeh (budeh-ctr@wikimedia.org)
Report possible machine-translated article by user who engaged in cross-wiki abuse
[urnosen ti taudan]Dear admin,@Lam-ang
Sorry for my writing in English. I'm an active user from Commons and Wikidata. I was led here because I'm investigating a sockpuppetry in Wikidata of User:Yukitanooki, who was mainly active in enwiki with babels (Non-native speaker here) and basically adds machine translations to the other languages' Wikipedias with sock puppets and temp accounts.
I suspect the article Baybay Laud Filipinas was also created by Yukitanooki' temp account(s) with machine translation service.
All in all, I suggest that article be reviewed carefully.
Thanks.-- 0x0a (tungtungan) 15:14, 18 Enero 2026 (UTC)
