Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as
Module:Itemgroup/list
).
The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property
P1846
, combined with the qualifier
P180
Q19571328
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property:
P14226
What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from
P14226
instead of the old
P1846
P180
structure. A
list of pages
was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on
P1846
to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old
P1846
statements will be removed after
May 1, 2026
. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help!

from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
Translations
are available.
Updates for editors
The
CampaignEvents extension
now includes a new group goal-setting feature, enabling organizers to set and track event goals such as the number of articles created and participating contributors in real time. Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in
the documentation
The new
watchlist labels
feature (announced in
Tech News 2026-07
) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via
EditWatchlist
. In all three places it is a new field following the expiry field.
View all
23
community-submitted
tasks
that were
resolved last week
. For example, the issue where talk pages on mobile with Parsoid are unusable after empty section headers, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
The
sub-referencing feature
, which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to
more wikis
later this year. Wikis using the
Reference Tooltips
gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at
MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js
as shown
here
) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected.
All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions.
The
Action API
has had several formats for requested output. One of them,
format=php
, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the
JSON format
. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots.
The
Special:NamespaceInfo
page now includes namespace aliases. For example "WP" for the "Project" ("Wikipedia") namespace on the German Wikipedia.
Detailed code updates later this week:

Weekly highlight
Experienced editors are invited to
test
the
Article guidance
feature, designed to help less-experienced editors create well-structured, policy-compliant Wikipedia articles. Testing instructions are
available
. Also, after reviewing
the outlines
, please provide feedback on the
project talk page
. Based on your input, the feature will be refined and transferred to the pilot Wikipedias to translate and adapt. Check out
the video
explaining the feature.
Updates for editors
On most wikis, all autoconfirmed users can now use
Special:ChangeContentModel
page to
create new pages with custom content models
, such as mass message lists, making custom page formats more accessible. Check
Special:ListGroupRights
for the status of your wiki.
The Growth team has launched an
account creation experiment
to evaluate whether adding an account creation button to the mobile web header increases new account registrations and encourages more mobile users to contribute to the wikis. The experiment is currently live on Hindi, Indonesian, Bengali, Thai, and Hebrew Wikipedia, and targets 10% of logged-out mobile web users.

community-submitted

that were

. For example, an issue where VisualEditor could get stuck loading on Windows devices with animations turned off, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
Starting later this week,
Redaktører av misbruksfilteret
who have the
Forbedret syntaksfremheving
beta feature enabled will have
CodeMirror
instead of
CodeEditor
as the editor at
Special:AbuseFilter
. This is part of the broader effort to make the user experience more consistent across all editors.
Tools and bots that access the
Notifications API
action=query&meta=notifications
) will need to update their OAuth or BotPassword grants to also include access to private notifications.
Due to a library upgrade, listings on category pages may be displayed out of order starting on Monday, 20th April. A migration script will be run to correct this, and will take hours to days depending on the size of the wiki (up to a week for English Wikipedia).

Weekly highlight
After two years of development,
Forbedret syntaksfremheving
, also known as
CodeMirror 6
, is to be promoted out of beta on Tuesday, April 21. It brings better code and wikitext readability, reduction in typing errors, and other
benefits
to all users of the standard syntax highlighter. A huge thank you to volunteer
Bhsd
who developed many of the new features, including
code folding
autocompletion
, and
linting
A major update to the Wikipedia app for iOS is now rolling out, redesigning the interface to align with Apple's latest "Liquid Glass" visual design.
Download the latest version
and explore the update.
Updates for editors
Reading lists
is a feature which allows readers to save articles to a list for reading later. This feature is now in beta on Arabic, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and by default for all new accounts on all Wikipedias.
An experiment which explores extending
Page Previews to mobile web
will be launched in the week of April 20 on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page Previews are pop-ups that display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and a link to open the full article of a blue link, thereby improving content discovery. The feature is already available on desktop and in the apps.
Read more about this experiment and others
On several wikis, logged-in editors who haven't
confirmed their email addresses
can now see a banner encouraging them to do so. Having the email address confirmed allows a user to restore access to the account if they lose it.
View all
15
community-submitted
tasks
that were
resolved last week
. For example, an issue where editing very large wiki pages in the 2017 wikitext editor caused slow loading, preview and scrolling lag, and performance issues when selecting, cutting, or pasting content, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
As part of the promotion of
CodeMirror
from a beta feature, all users will use
CodeMirror
instead of
CodeEditor
for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages.
The
mirrors.wikimedia.org
service for Debian and Ubuntu users will sunset and stop working on May 15. The resources for the service will be replaced with new and better options. Some users may need to switch to a different server which should take about a minute.

The
image
and
oldimage
table will be removed from
wikireplicas
. If your tools or queries access
image
or
oldimage
directly, please update them to use the
file
and
filerevision
table before 28 May.
Following the recent implementation of global API rate limits on unidentified traffic, the Wikimedia Foundation will continue efforts to ensure
fair use of infrastructure
by applying global limits to identified API traffic beginning the last week of April. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see
Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits
and
Frequently Asked Questions
The
Attribution API
is now available as a
beta
. The API fetches information for crediting Wikimedia articles and media files wherever they are used. Reference documentation is available through the REST Sandbox special page available on all Wikimedia wikis (such as the
REST sandbox on English Wikipedia
). Share your feedback on the
project talk page
There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
