Hello everyone,
My name is Ifeatu <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ifeatu_Nnaobi_(WMDE)>,
and I'm writing to introduce myself as the Product Manager for the Wikidata
and Wikimedia Projects team.
The Wikidata for the Wikimedia Projects team is a new team at Wikimedia
Deutschland (WMDE) that wants to provide structured data support to other
Wikis in the Wikimedia movement. The team is part of the Linked Open Data
(LOD) group at WMDE. It will work closely with Lydia Pintscher (Portfolio
Lead Product Manager for Wikidata) and other LOD team members to establish
sustainable structures to support collaborations between Wikidata and the
other Wikimedia projects.
I joined the team in June 2023, and current team member Danny Benjafield
(Community Communications Manager) and I are exploring ways to build tools
and features in a community-centred way. This means learning about existing
initiatives between Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects and examining new
insights into fostering Wikidata integrations that are collaborative,
multilingual and provide high-quality data for projects of different shapes
and sizes.
My background is in interactive media focused on queer, feminist, and
migrant narratives. As someone from the global majority, it's imperative to
contribute to improving Wikidata's ability to accommodate diverse ways of
knowledge contribution and consumption.
As the new team settles in, our big task for the year is interacting with
community members from various backgrounds and perspectives to understand
what makes collaboration between Wikidata and Wikimedia projects
challenging. Please stay tuned for our announcements on how we will do this.
In the meantime, please email me (ifeatu.nnaobi(a)wikimedia.de) or leave a
note on my Meta Talk page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ifeatu_Nnaobi_(WMDE)> if you already
have something to share.
Thrilled to be here,

It's time to embrace the secrets that lie beneath the surface and uncover the hidden treasures that await you on the American secret side.
Dear Wikimedians!
I’m Danny <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)>
and I am delighted to join Wikimedia Deutschland as a Community
Communications Manager for the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team.
Since its inception, Wikidata has been invaluable in reducing the workload
and maintenance of countless projects across many languages and as it has
grown, the demands on the Wikidata team have increased.
The establishment of this new team will translate to additional dedicated
staff to develop and champion that initial goal of Wikidata: promoting the
integration of Wikidata into the Wikimedia Projects!
My role as Community Communications Manager is to connect with editors,
engage with communities, promote collaboration with developers, foster and
encourage the integration of Wikidata with your projects.
Progress only happens with your input!
Communication and community-centric development are guiding principles to
Wikimedia Deutschland and our team exists to help you get the most out of
Wikidata for your project.
To that end, we will soon be asking for your feedback, requests and
starting conversations about how your project can benefit from Wikidata
integration!
I just wanted to say hello and am eager to connect with you in the coming
months, whether in person or virtually at Meetups, or drop me a message at
my Talk <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)> page
or an email at:

Hi everyone,
If you are using ORES scores to judge edits on Wikidata or find out the
quality of Items in Wikidata then this is important information about the
upcoming migration to Lift Wing for you.
We are collecting affected Wikidata community tools here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T343419
Cheers
Lydia

Subject: [Wikitech-l] ORES To Lift Wing Migration
To: <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everybody,
TL;DR We would like users of ORES models to migrate to our new open source
ML infrastructure, Lift Wing, within the next five months. We are available
to help you do that, from advice to making code commits. It is important to
note: All ML models currently accessible on ORES are also currently
accessible on Lift Wing.
As part of the Machine Learning Modernization Project (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/Modernization), the Machine
Learning team has deployed a Wikimedia’s new machine learning inference
infrastructure, called Lift Wing (
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/LiftWing). Lift Wing
brings a lot of new features such as support for GPU-based models, open
source LLM hosting, auto-scaling, stability, and ability to host a larger
number of models.
With the creation of Lift Wing, the team is turning its attention to
deprecating the current machine learning infrastructure, ORES. ORES served
us really well over the years, it was a successful project but it came
before radical changes in technology like Docker, Kubernetes and more
recently MLOps. The servers that run ORES are at the end of their planned
lifespan and so to save cost we are going to shut them down in early 2024.
We have outlined a deprecation path on Wikitech (
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/ORES), please read the page if you are
a maintainer of a tool or code that uses the ORES endpoint
https://ores.wikimedia.org/). If you have any doubt or if you need
assistance in migrating to Lift Wing, feel free to contact the ML team via:
- Email: ml(a)wikimedia.org
- Phabricator: #Machine-Learning-Team tag
- IRC (Libera): #wikimedia-ml
The Machine Learning team is available to help projects migrate, from
offering advice to making code commits. We want to make this as easy as
possible for folks.
High Level timeline:
**By September 30th 2023: *Infrastructure powering the ORES API endpoint
will be migrated from ORES to Lift Wing. For users, the API endpoint will
remain the same, and most users won’t notice any change. Rather just the
backend services powering the endpoint will change.
Details: We'd like to add a DNS CNAME that points ores.wikimedia.org to
ores-legacy.wikimedia.org, a new endpoint that offers a almost complete
replacement of the ORES API calling Lift Wing behind the scenes. In an
ideal world we'd migrate all tools to Lift Wing before decommissioning the
infrastructure behind ores.wikimedia.org, but it turned out to be really
challenging so to avoid disrupting users we chose to implement a transition
layer/API.
To summarize, if you don't have time to migrate before September to Lift
Wing, your code/tool should work just fine on ores-legacy.wikimedia.org and
you'll not have to change a line in your code thanks to the DNS CNAME. The
ores-legacy endpoint is not a 100% replacement for ores, we removed some
very old and not used features, so we highly recommend at least test the
new endpoint for your use case to avoid surprises when we'll make the
switch. In case you find anything weird, please report it to us using the
aforementioned channels.
**September to January: *We will be reaching out to every user of ORES we
can identify and working with them to make the migration process as easy as
possible.
**By January 2024: *If all goes well, we would like zero traffic on the
ORES API endpoint so we can turn off the ores-legacy API.
If you want more information about Lift Wing, please check
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/LiftWing
Thanks in advance for the patience and the help!
Regards,
The Machine Learning Team
