Beta Release: Edit Wikidata Statements on Mobile
by Mohammed Abdulai 01 Apr '26

01 Apr '26

Hi everyone, We’re excited to announce that starting today, mobile statement editing is available as a beta feature on Wikidata. Following your feedback from our earlier prototypes, we’re now rolling out live editing for String and Wikibase Entity ID datatypes directly in the mobile view. This marks a big step toward making contributing to Wikidata easier and more accessible for editors using mobile devices. How you can help us refine - Enable the Beta feature: Go to your Preferences --> Beta features --> check "Edit Wikidata Items on mobile devices" and save. - Try mobile editing: Visit the Wikidata Item Wikidata Sandbox (Q4115189) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4115189> on your mobile device (or use mobile view on your desktop) - Test the edits: Try editing statements with the supported String and Wikibase Entity ID datatypes - Share your feedback: Tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see next on the project discussion page: Mobile editing of statements <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Usability_and_usefulness/Item_e…> Please note: This initial release supports only String and Entity ID datatypes. Support for additional datatypes will follow in upcoming releases. If you’re interested in participating in deeper testing or user interviews with our UX team, sign up here <https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/bo2e7e2a/apply> to join our mobile editing testing group.

This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical readers *What the Book Covers* - *The Past:* How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today. - *The Present:* The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences. - *The Future:* Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050. With *49 detailed chapters*, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike. My mission with *The Internet Ecosystem* is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only *how* the Internet works, but also *why* it matters and has become one of the most transformative human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable digital future. In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator, student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our connected world. *Get Your Copy* *The Internet Ecosystem* is now available: https://payhip.com/b/hfvYg Thank you, Best Regards, Nikesh B.

Hello! I am trying to login to my Wikidata account from OpenRefine in order to upload my edits but I keep getting "Invalid credentials" when I enter my username and password. They are both correct so I do not understand what is the problem. After that I receive an email with verification code but I do not understand where I can add the verification code you are sending me because I do not get any form to write it. Could you please explain the problem and help me solve it? Thank you in advance!
