Dear all,
Congratulations, to you, you made it to the end of the week! Congratulations to me, the Wikipedia Test resources are finally available!
What is the Wikipedia Test? A tool for policymakers and advocates to assess whether a bill would break Wikipedia. If the answer is yes, it’s probably a bad policy for other public interest platforms. How does it work? Why do we need it? Those are great questions. Instead of making you read a long email here, I recommend you can go straight to the blog post https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/07/17/introducing-the-wikipedia-test-a-tool-to-protect-the-public-interest-internet/, click on the webinar details in the post, and decide how *you *would describe it, and if you like it (I hope you do).
📅 We’re offering two sessions to accommodate different time zones — please join whichever suits you best. Feel free to share widely with your networks. This tool, and the webinars, are for everyone who wants to do their part to promote a diverse, vibrant internet that includes platforms that serve the public interest. Platforms like OpenStreetMap, digital archives of cultural heritage, Reddit, and of course, Wikipedia.
Option 1: July 23rd @ 14:00 UTC (check your local time https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1753279200)
