Dear All,
Some of us are planning a COST Action <https://www.cost.eu/> application,
which is an EU networking grant, to support meetings, workshops, and
working groups over the next 4 years.
We currently have working groups about:
- GLAMs
- impact metrics
- developing standard international teaching materials
- increasing diversity on Wiki
- Wiki-in-residence
- Wiki and AI, and others
Basically we are trying to create spaces in Europe for Wiki Researchers to
meet, exchange, and plan future projects. The current draft of the
application is here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O9Kv0DqQyMXoNu8WOOreG5VmVE8Z8QNr0cg5qHr…>.
we are open to all comments.
We are looking especially to support with funding young (under 40),
non-central, and minority participants, but essentially the more co-authors and
support for the proposal, the better. There is no obligation to attend the
events or do any work - the COST Action is explicitly not about doing work,
but presenting work.
We are meeting today at 4pm, here, <https://meet.google.com/bym-vjak-sdy>
if you want to hear more, or you can just reply to me, and I can invite you
through the COST platform, it is really simple to indicate support.
We would be happy to have you join us, and to support your work where
feasible.
These grants are for ~ 600,000 over 4 years, for meetings, but then result
in an average of 5 million euros for the network over the years, so it
would be really good I think.
Best, and thank you,
Brett Buttliere

Hi all,
I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Science and Technology
in Society Forum in Kyoto. The event was different from the usual events I
participate in: I met many more research leaders from many parts of the
globe and I also learned about new perspectives and opportunities. I wrote
a trip report to share what I learned with those of you interested:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:LZia_(WMF)/Trip_reports#STS_Forum_2026
And those of you in CSCW (https://cscw.acm.org/2026/) this week, have a
good conference. I hope you get a chance to do some wiki activity together.
:)
Best,
Leila
Hi all,
I’m sending this on behalf of a few groups at WMF: the Product Safety and
Integrity (PSI) team, who work on safety and security issues, as well as
our teams who promote responsible reuse and manage how our data platform
and data dumps work.
To reduce safety issues and to continue modernizing our data platform, we
are introducing a freshness delay to our content dumps, and completing the
deprecation of our legacy export system:
1.
A 7-day “safety buffer” between content creation and dumps publishing
will be added to the MediaWiki Content File Exports
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediawiki_content_history/readme.html>.
As a result of this change, the full content will be published up to 10
days after the first of the month, which allows more time for users with
extended rights to respond to calls for deletion and remove abusive content
before it is published.
2.
Legacy XML database backup dumps
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html> for full content history
and latest content versions will be sunset in January 2027. MediaWiki
Content File Exports
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediawiki_content_history/readme.html>
currently offer comparable content and will have to be used instead,
following the legacy sunsetting date.
3.
Support for the 7z compression standard will be added to the MediaWiki
Content History File Exports, at the request of the community. Previously
only bzip2 file formats were provided.
Some more information about this is below, and even more detailed
information about the safety buffer, how to migrate to MediaWiki Content
File Exports, and what the detailed timeline looks like will be available
on the project page
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legacy_content_dumps_sunset>.
What is the “safety buffer”?
The safety buffer will add a 7-day delay between content creation and when
it is published via the MediaWiki Content File Export process.
This change gives time for on-wiki content cleanup processes to happen.
This is especially important for users with extended rights to suppress
content before it is published. Unlike standard reverts for vandalism or
other bad-faith edits, suppressions fully removes the revision so it is no
longer visible to standard users. This ‘safety buffer’ is implemented as a
cooldown window, where a content snapshot is created, then any subsequent
changes to visibility made between the snapshot and publishing date will be
respected, which prevents content removed in this window from making it
into the dump at all.
Why is a ‘safety buffer’ necessary?
Once published, data dumps become permanent snapshots that propagate across
the internet. Even when content is later redacted on the wikis, those
relying on data dumps may miss those changes. This means that especially
sensitive or abusive content can easily end up included in data dumps, even
if that content was later redacted. Introducing a 7-day buffer allows
on-wiki processes some space to operate, and significantly reduces the
chances that this kind of content will be widely distributed across the
internet.
How will the buffer affect availability and publishing cadence?
MediaWiki Content File Exports will continue to be generated and published
on a monthly basis. However, with the buffer in place, dumps are expected
to be available between the 7th and 10th of the month instead of on the
1st. For example, this means that content created between October 1st and
October 31st would be available between November 7th and 10th to allow time
for both the buffer and the XML generation processes to take place.
What specific dumps are being sunset?
A huge variety of dumps are available today. This change is specifically
targeting XML dumps for all pages (current revision only) and all pages
with complete edit history. More specialized dumps, such as those for
Wikidata, category, or title dumps are currently unaffected by this change.
Why are we sunsetting legacy XML dumps?
The legacy dumps generation process is expensive to operate, difficult to
maintain, and unreliable in availability. MediaWiki Content File Exports
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Content_File_Exports> is a
process that relies on the MediaWiki Content History
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Data_Lake/Content/Mediawi…>
data set built by the Data Platform Engineering team in 2025. This data set
contains the full content of all revisions, making it a more reliable and
maintainable foundation for generating XML dumps.
What is the timeline for sunsetting?
MediaWiki Content File Exports were launched in January 2026
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/xmldatadumps-l@lists.wikimedia.…>as
a replacement for XML exports of the full content history and the latest
revision for all pages. At that time, the legacy dumps were also announced
as deprecated, but a sunsetting date was not provided. Users are now
encouraged to proactively migrate to use the MediaWiki Content File
Exports, prior to the January 2027 sunsetting date.
To ensure that all dumps users are aware of the change and incentivized to
migrate, we are also implementing progressive “brown out” periods that
limit availability of the legacy dumps through the dumps website (
dumps.wikimedia.org) before they are fully sunset. During these brown-out
periods, access to the affected legacy dumps will be unavailable. As a
temporary workaround, users may access data earlier in the month to prevent
disruption. Legacy dumps will also continue to be published to the
Wikimedia Cloud Services fileshare through January 2027.
Limited brownouts will start towards the end of October, with progressively
longer periods of blocking legacy dump downloads each month. By December,
legacy dumps will be unavailable for the majority of the month and are
expected to be fully disabled by January.
More information about this plan is available on the project page
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legacy_content_dumps_sunset>.
What does the migration path look like from the legacy XML dumps to
MediaWiki Content File Exports?
MediaWiki Content File Exports are largely compatible with legacy XML
dumps. However, the files are available on a different path, offer a
different chunking threshold, and have a different mechanism for
determining if the dump is fully complete for a given project. More
information about how to download MediaWiki Content File Exports can be
found on the project page
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Content_File_Exports#How_to_d…>
.
What does this mean for dumps accessed through WMCS?
The WMCS fileshares will remain unaffected until January 2027. Starting in
January (ie: December dump), legacy dumps will no longer be available in
the WMCS file share.
What does this mean for Wikimedia Enterprise Snapshots?
Wikimedia Enterprise Snapshots will not be affected by this buffer.
Wikimedia Enterprise users are contractually bound to continuously update
the content adhering to the policies of the source projects in ways that
minimize these issues.
What does this change mean for mirrors?
Starting in December, the rsync config will exclusively publish MediaWiki
File Exports for the in-scope XML dumps. Previous versions will continue to
reflect legacy dumps, until the last 5 are fully replaced with v2. Changes
to the rsync process will happen automatically. Mirrors that rely on rsync
updates may need to notify their users of the changes to adopt the
MediaWiki Content File Exports. A dedicated email will also be sent to
mirror managers directly with more specific details so they know what to
expect.

free to reach out directly here, on the talk page

Subject: [Release] Synthetic Reasoning Corpus and harness for
natural-language exploration of Wikidata (CC0)
To: Wikimedia-l <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
I'm happy to share the first open release from AI-BRIDGES
<https://ai-bridges.org>, funded by Wikimedia Switzerland
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CH/Grant_apply/AI-BRIDGES:_Synthe…>
and delivered by Pleias <https://pleias.ai/>, with support from Wikimedia
Deutschland.
We built a harness that lets a language model explore a frozen,
six-language Wikidata snapshot step by step, reading entities and citing
the statements it used, rather than stuffing large amounts of data into its
context, taking a Recursive Language Model approach. From it we generated a
Synthetic Reasoning Corpus of exploration traces, released under CC0.
A few results from the technical report:
-
74 of 100 questions answered correctly by Qwen3.8-27B, an open-weight
model on a single GPU, vs 61 for gpt-6-luna in the same harness
-
10,235 solving traces released under CC0, over single-entity and
multi-hop questions
-
The harness lifts both models we ran under both interfaces, with the
gain mostly on multi-hop questions
Of particular interest to editors: exploration surfaced cross-language
inconsistencies and misplaced information (for example, nationality
appearing in descriptions but not in statements). Nothing was edited
automatically; the findings are in the report for community review.

Harness, code and benchmark (GitHub):

Corpus (Hugging Face):
https://huggingface.co/datasets/AI-BRIDGES/wikidata-search-traces

Technical report:

Next, we plan to train open Wikidata search models on this corpus and we
would appreciate your help: if you work with GLAMs, Education, Research,
especially in the Humanities, please send us real questions you'd want to
ask Wikidata in plain language or in SPARQL
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ipIzwSwf-xCtU7R7ewNCCND7vk0yha6byWMNs3O…>,
or via email: contact(a)ai-bridges.org.
I'd like to take a moment to thank not just Pleias, WMCH & WMDE, but also
our other core partners, WMUK & WM Brasil, as well as other partners --
organizations, institutions and so many wonderful individuals from this
community -- for being part of the AI-BRIDGES journey and supporting it.
Feedback, questions and critique are all very welcome on-list, on wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:AI-BRIDGES> or privately.
All best wishes, Shani.

Dear all,
a quick reminder that early-bird registration for the MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2026 (MUDCon26) ends soon:
* Deadline for early-bird tickets: October 9, 2026
* Conference dates: November 11–13, 2026
* Venue: Jožef Stefan Institute, Jamova cesta 39, Ljubljana, Slovenia
MUDCon brings together users, developers and organizations from the MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki communities for three days of talks, discussions and hands-on exchange — covering use of (Semantic) MediaWiki in companies, non-profits, governments, and other communities.
Please get your ticket before the early-bird deadline to benefit from the reduced rate:

The program is already shaping up nicely, with contributions on structured data, cultural heritage, Wikibase, NeoWiki and more.
Looking forward to seeing you in Ljubljana!
Christian Erlinger and the MUDCon organizing team.
