We are still in process of defining the work that
needs to be done for compliance. We are planning a cross Departmental program as part of
annual plan which will include all the necessary work - so Phabricator has not been
populated yet. This is a great time for input like this so I encourage you to discuss it
with John and Tony. Thanks Tom!
Best regards,
Victoria

My main concern and this should include any wiki admin with an open registration on their
wiki, is there any available information on the technical side?
I found a few tasks on phabricator but nothing specific for handling explicit consent of
users nor any tools for wiki admins using the MediaWiki software to assist them with
compliance of GDPR. There are many open source projects scrambling to improve user
registration and user account tools making sure websites run by their software is ready
for GDPR.
Yes, a few things can be handled with extensions, but at best they would be patch and
make compliance difficult.

Hi Tom,
John Bennett, our Security Director, and Tony Sebro, our Deputy General Counsel, are
leading our work on GDPR compliance. It is a significant priority for both Tech and the
Legal departments at the WMF.
Best,

Hey Everyone
Is there any roadmap for MediaWiki that addresses the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation) being enforced as of 28 May 2018?
Mainly addressing user registration on websites and holding what the EU deems personally
identifiable information of EU residents such as usernames, real names, email addresses,
etc. A method to prove consent such as a checkbox for Terms of Service and the date
consent was given.
From the read of GDPR, it effects any company or organization (even those outside the EU)
who store data on someone living in the EU.
Tom
