Dear Wikimedia Community,
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026 International Team, I am
absolutely thrilled to announce the final results of this year's Photo and
Content Writing Competitions!
This year, we saw an incredible outpouring of creativity and dedication
from volunteers around the globe. Together, we successfully documented the
rich traditions, culture, and spirit of Ramadan, making this knowledge
freely accessible to the world.
*📸 Photo Competition Results* Our jury had the difficult but inspiring
task of reviewing *5607 *of stunning images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
From breathtaking mosque architecture to vibrant Iftar gatherings, the
visual heritage of Ramadan has been beautifully preserved.

Dear GLAM community,
in case you are running/working with your own MediaWiki installation, please spend 15-20 minutes to fill out our MediaWiki survey. Results will be shared at the MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2026 (November 11-13, Ljubljana, Slovenia) [1]
https://survey.knowledge.wiki/index.php/716248
The research project ECHOLOT [2] is trying to learn more about use cases of MediaWiki outside of the original projects of the Wikimedia Foundation.
We put a special focus on the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries Archives and Museum), but are welcoming also responses from other sectors like private or public organizations, or research and education).
Best,
Bernhard Krabina
