Writing system variants

Hello,

Regarding the rejection of the Wang Weilin 王维林 redirection, there are two Chinese script variants: The Traditional variant (found anywhere but China, Malaysia, and Singapore, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong) which has the name rendered as so: 王維林; and the Simplified variant, found primarily in Malaysia, Singapore, and mainland China, with the name rendered as so: 王维林. Tank Man is a mainland Chinese topic. I assume the person who initially put in the Hanzi names was a Taiwanese or some other person who uses Traditional. I had to personally correct them (but apparently I had missed one prior to the rejection). I wanted to cover both variants of the writing system.

Thank you for reading.

@PanContinental863 I'm not quite familiar with Chinese Language, so I used Google Translate and it showed a different meaning, so I'm going to reopen the request so another Editor can review it. Destiny Okhiria (alt) (talk) 18:10, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 10

Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on May 8. Please help translate.

---

Highlights

• Community Wishlist discussion: Product & Technology introduced changes meant to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging in discussions about a proposed direction for the wishlist from community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing updates.
• Digital Public Goods: The Wikimedia Foundation has become a member of the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA).
• Better bot detection: A trial of hCaptcha on several Wikipedias, including English, French, and Japanese, showed it can effectively detect and deter bad-faith automated activity, on its own and by giving checkusers and stewards signals to look into. Based on these results, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis. See the project page for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections.

Example of the Attribution Framework recommendations.

• A better way to give credit: The Wikimedia Attribution Framework and API makes it simple for developers to fairly credit volunteer contribution. When anyone encounters Wikimedia content, we want them to know that it comes from our projects, and they are invited to participate.
• Baby Globe joins the Reading Challenge: The Android and iOS Wikipedia apps released the 25-day reading challenge, to drive readers engagement through reading milestones. To track their reading streak during the challenge, users can add a widget featuring Baby Globe to their home screen.
• Account security: The Foundation is technically enforcing that all privileges that enable users to take security- or privacy-sensitive actions can only be held by users who have enabled two-factor authentication. Logging in with passkeys is quicker than logging in without two-factor authentication. In addition, logged-in users can see a banner encouraging them to confirm their email address. These changes secure individual accounts as well as communities and the wikis.
• Incident reporting form: The Foundation began a trial on English Wikipedia of the incident reporting form. 60% of unblocked logged-in users see a new Report button, allowing them to report conduct issues.
• Encouraging account creation: Following a successful account creation experiment, an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis this week. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session.
• Wikimedia Android App: The Wikipedia Android App is at the Phase 1 of redesigning its Home Feed. The new feed includes two tabs: Community, featuring refreshed Explore content, and For You, with personalized reading recommendations based on reader interests and activity. The For You feed refreshes daily with updated suggestions.
• Better discovery of images: The Image Browsing beta feature was rolled out for all Wikipedias on mobile following two successful experiments. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article’s images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to exclude images from the article’s carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely.
• Reading Lists feature: The Foundation is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment was launched on May 18 on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and will run for a month.

• Testing Suggestion Mode: Suggestion Mode was released as an A/B test for newcomer editors on the mobile website at ~15 Wikipedias. The experiment will measure its impact on the proportion of newcomer mobile web edit sessions that result in constructive (un-reverted) article edits. It will also evaluate the feature’s impact on editor retention and monitor changes in revert and block rates.
• Wikifunctions now supports Wikidata references: References in Wikidata statements are now available on Wikifunctions, and you now can use external links in Wikifunctions-generated citations. This allows the use of more than 1.3 billion references available in Wikidata and adding them as citations to individual statements in Abstract Wikipedia.
• Pilot wikis adopting Abstract Wikipedia: The Abstract Wikipedia team has identified five potential pilot wikis to assess their interest in adopting abstract articles on their wikis. The pilots are Malayalam, Bengali, Dagbani, Arabic, and Indonesian Wikipedia. If your community is interested in becoming a pilot, let us know on Meta.
• Latest experiments: An upcoming experiment is testing whether we can serve readers better when a footnote click in read mode shows the full bibliographic information rather than flying them to the reference list. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology.
• Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 20, 21, 22, 23 include an experiment to test a new Share Card feature that allows readers to create visually engaging cards from Wikipedia articles and share them online See also the 92 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

• Wiki Mentor Africa: The first edition of Wiki Mentor Africa - Women Tech Summit brought together over 315 registered participants across Africa to learn, explore, and grow in tech together.

Review request: Draft:Aliyu Bin Abbas

Hello @Destinyokhiria:, I hope you are doing well. I am the creator of Draft:Aliyu Bin Abbas, which has been in the Articles for Creation queue for nearly two months. The draft was previously declined but has since been significantly improved with independent, reliable sources from The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation Nigeria, and NTA Network News, particularly covering his emergence as the presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) for the 2027 general elections.

I noticed you recently edited the draft and also review AfC articles. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly take a look and consider reviewing it when you have a moment.

Thank you so much for your time and your contributions to Wikipedia. Ultimatemastery (talk) 12:29, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

I reverted your archiving at ACF/R

HI Destinyokhiria, earlier this year I asked you not archive requests so quickly and you agreed to wait at least 24 hours. However, you just did it again and some of those requests, like previous times you manually archived, had just been actioned minutes before; therefore, I have reverted you. Please let the bot handle it going forward. S0091 (talk) 21:27, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

All the Request I Archived was Created 24 hours ago. Destinyokhiria _{(talk / cont)} 21:30, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

You are right!!! I am WRONG so I have reverted myself. I apologize, Destinyokhiria. S0091 (talk) 21:46, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
