Dear All,
I am User:Hydriz on Wikimedia wikis and I am working on a grant
proposal to facilitate browsing and downloading of Wikimedia datasets
(including the database dumps as well as other datasets). It is a
proposed rewrite of the existing system which focused primarily on
archiving the datasets to the Internet Archive. [1]
My proposal aims to modernize the software used for automatically
archiving datasets to the Internet Archive. More importantly, it aims
to put researchers and downloaders first, by providing both a
human-readable and a machine-readable interface for browsing and
downloading datasets, whether present or historical. I also intend to
integrate a "watchlist" feature that can automatically notify users
when new datasets are available.
Please do express your support for this proposal and help make this
project a reality. Thank you!
Warmest regards.
Hydriz Scholz

Thank you for your question.
The datasets are intended to be retained forever, as researchers may
want access to historical data. If any removal is necessary for
compliance with local and international laws, it will be primarily
handled by the Internet Archive, as they are the ones storing the
data.
Warmest regards,
Hydriz Scholz

Hi all,
Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Wiki Comparison <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…> dataset. We received questions regarding the differences between Wiki Comparison and the monthly Wikimedia Movement Metrics that our team also publishes[1]. After investigation, we found that they were due to:
A bug affecting editor counts, which was present in the published dataset for 4 days and has been corrected
Differences between metric definitions
Further details are below.
We hope this is helpful in addressing the differences and their causes, and we apologize for any inconvenience the bug affecting editor counts may have caused. Please feel free to reach out should you have further questions or require further clarification.
Bug affecting editor counts
Five months of editor data were double counted, resulting in inflated numbers in three metrics: monthly editors, monthly active editors, and monthly new active editors (Column H, I, L in datasheet ‘Dec 2020’ <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…>), and understated numbers in one metric: unique devices per editor (Column G in datasheet ‘Dec 2020’ <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…> ). The datasheet with the issue was published on Feb 22, 2021, and corrected on Feb 26, 2021. During the time when the bug was in place, any data reference to a year-over-year comparison or an absolute number of the four metrics would have been impacted, whereas the trends across wikis within the same year were consistent.
Differences between metric definitions
Unique devices
In Wikimedia Movement Metrics, unique devices are reported for only one project family: Wikipedia. Wiki Comparison contains data across 16 project families.
For the Wikipedia family alone, the total number of unique devices in Wiki Comparison is 25% higher than that in Wikimedia Movement Metrics. This is because the calculations are aggregated by different cookie definitions:
Wikimedia Movement Metrics: unique devices are aggregated based on the last global access cookie across all projects.
Wiki Comparison: unique devices are aggregated based on the last access cookie in one project.
Therefore, adding unique devices of each project together resulting in a 25% higher total in Wiki Comparison than in Product Movement Metrics.
2020 monthly avg

Unique devices (all Wikipedias)
1.65B

1.25X
Editors
Total active editors in Wiki Comparison is 1.26x of active editors in Wikimedia Movement Metrics. This is due to the metric definitions and how we count global editors:
Wikimedia Movement Metrics: the number of active editors is the number of registered users who made at least 5 content edits across all projects
Wiki Comparison: the number of active editors is the number of registered users who made at least 5 content edits in that project.
When adding the active editors of each project together into the total in Wiki Comparison, global editors can be counted multiple times if they contributed to multiple wikis. In Wikimedia Movement Metrics, global editors are counted only once no matter how many wikis they contributed to. This results in 26% more active editors in Wiki Comparison if we sum all wikis together.
This difference also applies to new active editors.

Dear All,
Hope everyone is doing well. I am writing to share that the final report of
our study "Bridging the Gender Gap: A Report on Indian Language Wikimedia
Communities" has been published on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki [1] and the CIS
website [2].
For me a valuable part of this research was networking with the various
Wikimedia contributors and learning how to be part of the extensive
Wikimedia projects.
Please revert with any queries or feedback on the report; do share this
with your networks.

Dear friends and Wikimedians,
(apologies for cross-posting!)
The Community Resources team announced in January the intention and process
to review its current grants programs (Annual Plan Grants, Simple Annual
Plan Grants, Project Grants and Rapid Grants) to ensure we are aligning
with the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement, with a focus on
knowledge equity and building a thriving movement[1][2].
Now that we have finished our needs review, key stakeholders discussions,
community brainstorms, and grantee surveys, we are excited to share with
you the draft proposal[3] that has resulted from this work:
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunc…
>
We are requesting your feedback on how the proposed grant programs would
impact you and how well they align with our movement strategy, which can be
provided in the following ways [4]:
* Complete a feedback form
* Participate in office hours
* Discuss on-wiki
* E-mail the Community Resources team (<communityresources(a)wikimedia.org>)
More information about these options can be found on our feedback page.[4]
After one month when the planned feedback period is over, the Community
Resources team will review all community input and make final adjustments
to complete the redesign. In April 2021, the Community Resources team will
review and incorporate suggested changes and send a final proposal for
endorsement and approval by the leadership of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Working with all our communities to update our grants programs is essential
to ensuring that they are useful and address real needs for our
communities. Thank you for all of the participation that has brought us to
this point. We look forward to the continued engagement in this next step
and listening to your ideas.
On behalf of the Community Resources team,
Chris

Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new
Formal Collaboration [1] with Mo Houtti and Loren Terveen of University of
Minnesota to work collaboratively on understanding article importance [2]
as part of the Addressing Knowledge Gaps program [3]. We are thankful to
them for agreeing to spend their time and expertise on this project in the
coming year.
Here are a few pieces of information about this collaboration that we would
like to share with you:
* We aim to keep the research documentation for this project in the
corresponding research page on meta [2].
* Research tasks are hard to break down and track in task-tracking systems.
This being said, tasks related to this project that can be captured on
Phabricator will be captured under here [4].
* I act as the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia
Foundation. Please feel free to reach out to me (directly, if it cannot be
shared publicly) if you have comments or questions about the project.
Best,
Isaac
