Hello everyone,
MUDCon Fall 2026
(https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…)
will be held from November 11 to 13, 2026, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. You
can now submit your contributions to the program.
Day 1 is dedicated to GLAM topics. We welcome talks about using
MediaWiki in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Share your
collection data, data models, queries, or experiences with migration.
Day 2 will cover MediaWiki in enterprise, government, and public sector
contexts. This includes internal knowledge bases, structured data,
registries, monument lists, archival data, and related topics. We also
invite talks on knowledge management and AI, such as assistants that use
wiki content, knowledge graphs, or the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Day 3 is a half-day focused on hands-on work, including 90-minute
tutorials and open sessions that we will organize together at the event.
We are also interested in new MediaWiki integrations and extensions,
project ideas, technical experiments, and challenges related to building
and running wikis. If you are unsure, please submit your idea anyway. We
will try to find a suitable place for your contribution.
You can choose from several formats: full talks (25 minutes), short
talks (10 to 15 minutes), or lightning talks (5 minutes). Tutorials and
co-creation sessions will take place on day 3.
To submit, just provide a title, the format, and a short abstract.
Please use the Semantic-MediaWiki website
(https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…)
to publish your proposal by September 15, 2026. We will get back to you
by October 1, and the full program will be announced soon after.
If you are giving your first talk, this is a great conference to start
with. Sharing your own wiki experiences is just as valuable as technical
presentations. Get in touch with us if you are unsure whether your topic
is a good fit.
We look forward to receiving your proposals.
Cheers, Karsten Hoffmeyer, on behalf of the organizing committee

Hello,
I noticed that WikiApiary has an entry for CapoeiraWiki (
https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/CapoeiraWiki), which has been defunct for more
than 10 years.
We have created a new and active CapoeiraWiki, hosted on Miraheze, which is
maintained and developed by the community:
https://capoeirawiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
Would it be possible to update the existing entry on WikiApiary to reflect
this new and active wiki, or alternatively replace the old CapoeiraWiki
page with a reference to our new project?
I tried to update the entry myself on the new host,
https://wikiapiary.dobriy.ai/wiki/CapoeiraWiki , but I'm not sure it was
the correct way.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Best regards,
Mayuxi

Greetings, all!
I'm at the Wikimedia Hackathon in Milan and, thanks to the help of
Bernhard Krabina (who introduced us) and Daniel Dobriy (who is doing the
actual work), we'll be moving WikiApiary and its bots to a kubernetes
cluster.
You can see the work in progress at https://wikiapiary.dobriy.ai/.
The hope is to use these resources to start WikiApiary crawling and
discovering wikis again.
Of course, none of this is to diminish Bawolff's much needed work last
month to get the site actually serving pages again.
Thanks,
Mark.

Yesterday I decided to poke Wikiapiary. The site now loads at least.
Unfortunately the update bot has been turned off, so it is not being
updated (I'm not really sure how the update bot works) but at least
https://wikiapiary.com now loads consistently.
So some forward progress.

Hello,
After being silent for a year, there's finally some good news: Save the Web Project (a web archiving initiative) just created WikiKeeper <https://wikikeeper.saveweb.org/>: a website similar to WikiApiary.
It tracks the number of pages, edits, active users, as well as indexing available wiki dumps. The website has a main focus of web archiving, and lacks a lot of functionality compared to WikiApiary.
Hope this website can be a good reference for WikiApiary.
