==What is Abstract Wikipedia?== &lt;!--T:1--&gt;

&lt;!--T:2--&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia is a new sister project of Wikipedia.

&lt;!--T:3--&gt;
Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge. Abstract Wikipedia will help the communities of volunteers contributing to Wikipedia and its related projects to more effectively close knowledge gaps.

&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Wikipedia has articles about more than 20 million topics in more than 300 languages. But none of these languages alone allow access to the knowledge about these 20 million topics: English has more than seven million articles, Croatian 230,000, and Swahili 100,000. Unless you speak those languages, that knowledge is not easily available to you. And as much as machine translation has improved thanks to recent improvements in AI, it is still not at the point where it can produce translations you can trust for many language pairs.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia does that without relying on AI. Each step of the way remains under human control, and is accessible and editable by the volunteers. There are no hallucinations, no inexplicable and unfixable mistakes. If anything is wrong, the problem can be traced and dealt with, and there is full transparency about how the text has been created. Sourcing and provenance can be preserved and interrogated. It is not just a probabilistic model choosing the capital of Kenya per chance every time. It is human-curated and owned knowledge.

==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?== &lt;!--T:6--&gt;

&lt;!--T:7--&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[&lt;tvar name=0&gt;D:&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.

&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
See [[&lt;tvar name=1&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article&lt;/tvar&gt;|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[&lt;tvar name=2&gt;Q1033&lt;/tvar&gt;|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:10--&gt; Or, if we use English labels for these identifiers:&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:11--&gt; This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; And that results in the English text:&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:14--&gt; And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/translate&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;

&lt;!--T:16--&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.

&lt;!--T:17--&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.
&lt;/translate&gt;

I think Z32962 would be a useful addition to the list of suggested functions. Can an admin please add it if others agree? [[User:Redmin|Redmin]] ([[User talk:Redmin|talk]]) 04:25, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

== readiness indicator ==

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific). [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 07:12, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:: The function [[f:Z35921|NLG default text]] will be able to indicate on the target Wikipedia that the text in this language is not ready yet. Maybe sentences with this indicator, or even lemma's with this indicator could be excluded from the target Wikipedia. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 08:52, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I see that in the [[#Marking NLG Default text]] section, but I am thinking more at the whole-article level; dropping a problematic fragment from the final render could change the overall meaning. [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 17:20, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:Do you mean an AI model to translate natural language input to abstract output? This was tinkered with before, I believe, last year—see [[f:Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-05-09]] if you would like to read about it.

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable
! Option !! Pro !! Con
|-
| A. Wrap all fuctions to HTML || Easy to perform || This is delaying the solution
|-
| B. Flip all functions to HTML || Keeps tracebility || Huge impact/disturbance, especialy when cached
|-
| C. Copy all functions to HTML || No disturbance || Looses tracability
|}
:: The most practical soulution would be option C. I woluld perfer that as soon as possbile. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::C is fine by me. The easiest first-implementation of a copied function C is a wrapper of the monolingual/string, so A is sort of the first step of C. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict. These functions create complete sentences, nd those should be able to use HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. My current interest is to add HTML texts like &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;mul &quot;&gt;NLG Default text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 06:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::These additional features (bold/links etc) would benefit from additional parameters to control them. I still don't know how to do this best. I tried once at [[:f:Z32496]] and [[:f:Z32410]], but it may not be right, and may not be a complete solution anyway. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:26, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::OK, let's start with option A, as a first step for option C. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::I have made wrappers (option A) for some general functions like [[f:Z36983]], [[f:Z36983]]. [[f:Z36987]], [[f:Z36993]] and [[f:Z37011]]. [[f:Z32965]] already existed, but as well as the monolingual [[f:Z26095]] both have an error: Error in evaluation. Can somebody fix this? On the AW articles I have updated a few lemmas by replacing the old functions to HTML functions, but find this quite cumbersome. A few hundred lemmas should be updated, but I have no time and/or no desire to do so. In the coming weeks (or so) I will start on Option C for these functions. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 17:51, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I'll try to help replace some of the usage. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::I think I've sorted out [[:f:Z32965]]. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:45, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thinking about this. One way we could do this particular markup would be for default monolingual functions to return a result with special language code (perhaps mul, zxx, ...).

== Infoboxes ==

I changed layout of the infoboxes, to be more in line with Wikipedia's infoboxes. See for example [[f:Z36678|Z36678]] &quot;infobox for city&quot; used in [[Q90]] &quot;Paris&quot;. I would like [[f:Z37625|Z37625]] &quot;infobox row&quot; to check if a claim exists in Wikidata, but I have difficulties with he parameters for [[f:Z27299|Z27299]] &quot;Wikidata item has claim?&quot;. With with literal input it works but with argument references it gives an error. Who can fix this?&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore I think it would be nice it we could add a pen-icon next to the values to be able to edit the claim on Wikidata, and pen-icon at the property to edit the label.

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way? [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:14, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).
::What you probably need is a collection of Featured Articles that are written in accordance with best practices and are safe to copy from. This would make it so novice users don't start picking up anti-patterns and propagating them all over abstract Wikipedia, making them harder to fix. [[User:Warudo|Warudo]] ([[User talk:Warudo|talk]]) 15:32, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Absolutely correct. I've deleted that paragraph with an explanation that that kind of work is better done on Wikifunctions to construct an English renderer. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:20, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:I'm throwing together some thoughts at [[User:99of9/ArticleWriting]]. It's still very much a draft, but I hope the ideas help. Asking questions about it may help me focus on what you want. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 11:53, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

::Single fragments usually don't time out when you first put them in. So you can usually edit productively in your first session.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.
Thanks a ton! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 08:32, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Wikifunctions Reached rate limit ==

When I open [[Q408]], the article is full of &quot;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Reached rate limit in evaluator&quot; except for some titles and images. This happens on many other pages. [[User:Steven Sun|Steven Sun]] ([[User talk:Steven Sun|talk]]) 12:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

:This issue is tracked in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430898 . The error codes sometimes get recategorised, but it ultimately seems to be some kind of rate issue. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 13:46, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good suggestion. Can you put in a Phabricator feature request to figure out how to categorise? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:40, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.

::Yeah, I heavily doubt enwiki will be open to Abstract Wikipedia integration given the fiasco that has been happening. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 21:54, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki.

:::Thank you for pointing this out. This content actually comes directly from a Wikifunctions function, so I’ll fix that. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:56, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too. The fact it's informal and colloquial means it shouldn't be used in sentences but on a table showing all the possibilities, it should absolutely be present. Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|talk]]) 07:48, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yes, that (I hope) was the fix I applied on Wikifunctions. The inclusion of “on” as a third-person singular pronoun was reversed this morning. Hopefully we’ll see an expanded table in due course! [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] We will need a detailed table to avoid confusion. I temporarily removed it from the table. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Choucas|Choucas]] For the time being, I removed &quot;on&quot; since it requires a detailed explanation (I will add when we are able to add more complex sentences.).

:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them). Since this batch is the first, I think we should even vote on whether we support each of the 5 the team chose as ready. What do others think? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 04:14, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one. Before selecting pilot articles, the process should begin with configuring and testing the necessary language functions in those languages. Only after that foundation is in place would it make sense to start identifying and evaluating potential pilot articles. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 10:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::It’s not very clear. I think it just means that during the pilot period, any pilot community’s language would be added to the limited set of languages for which previews would be available. From the final paragraph in [[Help:Abstract articles#Language coverage]], it appears that the Abstract Wikipedia community would ultimately control which languages are supported (expecting most or all). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I think Abstract Wikipedia contributors need some way to indicate that an article is a draft or otherwise inadequate, based on the quality of the information it currently provides. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article. I imagine that we will create, for example, one good set of functions to create an abstract article about tennis players or lakes and then bot create tens of thousands in one go. And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand. A tool that says which ones renders flawlessly and in which languages would be great (and even better if it can also give reports for what is missing for those who can't, like missing data on Wikidata or lexemes or lables in that language). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:34, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::I’m not in favour of bot-created articles. But the quality-assurance challenges exist even with changes to a single Wikifunctions function or Wikidata lexeme (for example). That’s why we will need article diffs that show how the rendered content has changed over time, not just the article structure. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Early on in the development, there was talk about &quot;template articles&quot; to be used for all articles of a certain topic (like soccer players or lakes). That is not in the development plan any longer. And if we neither have that nor going to create articles in bulk, I don't think I have any interest in this project any longer. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:29, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I’m just expressing my personal reservations about bot-articles. Templates and information-rich functions (like infoboxes or introductory content) are a different matter.

[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:42, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I'm sorry, I didn't mean templates in the traditional Wikipedia sense. Rather that we have an entire abstract article as a template. Like the &quot;canonical lake article&quot;. Which would mean that an improvement of the template improved all abstract articles about lakes (that hadn't been subst:ed and individually developed because it was a lake someone cared extra about). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 11:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::We don't have templates, but instead we do already have some intro sentences, like [[f:Z37922|Z37922]] (intro for species) and [[f:Z38757|Z38757]] (person lead sentence with occupations). Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion. Details information can then be added on article by article basis. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such).

:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:33, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio. [[User:Osarius|Osarius]] ([[User talk:Osarius|talk]]) 20:23, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 08:54, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

== readiness indicator ==

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific). [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 07:12, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:: The function [[f:Z35921|NLG default text]] will be able to indicate on the target Wikipedia that the text in this language is not ready yet. Maybe sentences with this indicator, or even lemma's with this indicator could be excluded from the target Wikipedia. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 08:52, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I see that in the [[#Marking NLG Default text]] section, but I am thinking more at the whole-article level; dropping a problematic fragment from the final render could change the overall meaning. [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 17:20, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable
! Option !! Pro !! Con
|-
| A. Wrap all fuctions to HTML || Easy to perform || This is delaying the solution
|-
| B. Flip all functions to HTML || Keeps tracebility || Huge impact/disturbance, especialy when cached
|-
| C. Copy all functions to HTML || No disturbance || Looses tracability
|}
:: The most practical soulution would be option C. I woluld perfer that as soon as possbile. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::C is fine by me. The easiest first-implementation of a copied function C is a wrapper of the monolingual/string, so A is sort of the first step of C. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict. These functions create complete sentences, nd those should be able to use HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. My current interest is to add HTML texts like &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;mul &quot;&gt;NLG Default text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 06:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::These additional features (bold/links etc) would benefit from additional parameters to control them. I still don't know how to do this best. I tried once at [[:f:Z32496]] and [[:f:Z32410]], but it may not be right, and may not be a complete solution anyway. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:26, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::OK, let's start with option A, as a first step for option C. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::I have made wrappers (option A) for some general functions like [[f:Z36983]], [[f:Z36983]]. [[f:Z36987]], [[f:Z36993]] and [[f:Z37011]]. [[f:Z32965]] already existed, but as well as the monolingual [[f:Z26095]] both have an error: Error in evaluation. Can somebody fix this? On the AW articles I have updated a few lemmas by replacing the old functions to HTML functions, but find this quite cumbersome. A few hundred lemmas should be updated, but I have no time and/or no desire to do so. In the coming weeks (or so) I will start on Option C for these functions. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 17:51, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I'll try to help replace some of the usage. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::I think I've sorted out [[:f:Z32965]]. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:45, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thinking about this. One way we could do this particular markup would be for default monolingual functions to return a result with special language code (perhaps mul, zxx, ...). This would require wider discussion. Then the HTML function could detect that and wrap accordingly.

== Infoboxes ==

I changed layout of the infoboxes, to be more in line with Wikipedia's infoboxes. See for example [[f:Z36678|Z36678]] &quot;infobox for city&quot; used in [[Q90]] &quot;Paris&quot;. I would like [[f:Z37625|Z37625]] &quot;infobox row&quot; to check if a claim exists in Wikidata, but I have difficulties with he parameters for [[f:Z27299|Z27299]] &quot;Wikidata item has claim?&quot;. With with literal input it works but with argument references it gives an error. Who can fix this?&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore I think it would be nice it we could add a pen-icon next to the values to be able to edit the claim on Wikidata, and pen-icon at the property to edit the label.

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way? [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:14, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
:Ah.  Now I've found {{Q|P1629}}, so i suppose that that provides a solution.  Sorry to disturb you. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:44, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).
::What you probably need is a collection of Featured Articles that are written in accordance with best practices and are safe to copy from. This would make it so novice users don't start picking up anti-patterns and propagating them all over abstract Wikipedia, making them harder to fix. [[User:Warudo|Warudo]] ([[User talk:Warudo|talk]]) 15:32, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Absolutely correct. I've deleted that paragraph with an explanation that that kind of work is better done on Wikifunctions to construct an English renderer. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:20, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:I'm throwing together some thoughts at [[User:99of9/ArticleWriting]]. It's still very much a draft, but I hope the ideas help. Asking questions about it may help me focus on what you want. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 11:53, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.
Thanks a ton! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 08:32, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Wikifunctions Reached rate limit ==

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good suggestion. Can you put in a Phabricator feature request to figure out how to categorise? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:40, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
::Sure! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 06:56, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.

:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki.

::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too.

::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them). Since this batch is the first, I think we should even vote on whether we support each of the 5 the team chose as ready. What do others think? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 04:14, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one. Before selecting pilot articles, the process should begin with configuring and testing the necessary language functions in those languages. Only after that foundation is in place would it make sense to start identifying and evaluating potential pilot articles. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 10:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::It’s not very clear. I think it just means that during the pilot period, any pilot community’s language would be added to the limited set of languages for which previews would be available. From the final paragraph in [[Help:Abstract articles#Language coverage]], it appears that the Abstract Wikipedia community would ultimately control which languages are supported (expecting most or all). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I think Abstract Wikipedia contributors need some way to indicate that an article is a draft or otherwise inadequate, based on the quality of the information it currently provides. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article. I imagine that we will create, for example, one good set of functions to create an abstract article about tennis players or lakes and then bot create tens of thousands in one go. And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand. A tool that says which ones renders flawlessly and in which languages would be great (and even better if it can also give reports for what is missing for those who can't, like missing data on Wikidata or lexemes or lables in that language). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:34, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::I’m not in favour of bot-created articles. But the quality-assurance challenges exist even with changes to a single Wikifunctions function or Wikidata lexeme (for example). That’s why we will need article diffs that show how the rendered content has changed over time, not just the article structure. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Early on in the development, there was talk about &quot;template articles&quot; to be used for all articles of a certain topic (like soccer players or lakes). That is not in the development plan any longer. And if we neither have that nor going to create articles in bulk, I don't think I have any interest in this project any longer. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:29, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I’m just expressing my personal reservations about bot-articles. Templates and information-rich functions (like infoboxes or introductory content) are a different matter.

[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:42, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I'm sorry, I didn't mean templates in the traditional Wikipedia sense. Rather that we have an entire abstract article as a template. Like the &quot;canonical lake article&quot;. Which would mean that an improvement of the template improved all abstract articles about lakes (that hadn't been subst:ed and individually developed because it was a lake someone cared extra about). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 11:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::We don't have templates, but instead we do already have some intro sentences, like [[f:Z37922|Z37922]] (intro for species) and [[f:Z38757|Z38757]] (person lead sentence with occupations). Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion. Details information can then be added on article by article basis. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such). But I appreciate this is off-topic. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).

== Wikifunctions &amp; Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter #259: Congratulations Jules*. An apple is a fruit ==

There is [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-08-05|a new update]] for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue, we congratulate Wikimedian of the Year and we discuss his favourite article in relation to Abstract Wikipedia, we introduce a new Type of function on Wikifunctions, and we take a look at the latest software developments.

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:33, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio.

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 08:54, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

== readiness indicator ==

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific). [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 07:12, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:: The function [[f:Z35921|NLG default text]] will be able to indicate on the target Wikipedia that the text in this language is not ready yet. Maybe sentences with this indicator, or even lemma's with this indicator could be excluded from the target Wikipedia. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 08:52, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I see that in the [[#Marking NLG Default text]] section, but I am thinking more at the whole-article level; dropping a problematic fragment from the final render could change the overall meaning. [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 17:20, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable
! Option !! Pro !! Con
|-
| A. Wrap all fuctions to HTML || Easy to perform || This is delaying the solution
|-
| B. Flip all functions to HTML || Keeps tracebility || Huge impact/disturbance, especialy when cached
|-
| C. Copy all functions to HTML || No disturbance || Looses tracability
|}
:: The most practical soulution would be option C. I woluld perfer that as soon as possbile. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::C is fine by me. The easiest first-implementation of a copied function C is a wrapper of the monolingual/string, so A is sort of the first step of C. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict. These functions create complete sentences, nd those should be able to use HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. My current interest is to add HTML texts like &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;mul &quot;&gt;NLG Default text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 06:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::These additional features (bold/links etc) would benefit from additional parameters to control them. I still don't know how to do this best. I tried once at [[:f:Z32496]] and [[:f:Z32410]], but it may not be right, and may not be a complete solution anyway. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:26, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::OK, let's start with option A, as a first step for option C. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::I have made wrappers (option A) for some general functions like [[f:Z36983]], [[f:Z36983]]. [[f:Z36987]], [[f:Z36993]] and [[f:Z37011]]. [[f:Z32965]] already existed, but as well as the monolingual [[f:Z26095]] both have an error: Error in evaluation. Can somebody fix this? On the AW articles I have updated a few lemmas by replacing the old functions to HTML functions, but find this quite cumbersome. A few hundred lemmas should be updated, but I have no time and/or no desire to do so. In the coming weeks (or so) I will start on Option C for these functions. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 17:51, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I'll try to help replace some of the usage. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::I think I've sorted out [[:f:Z32965]]. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:45, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thinking about this. One way we could do this particular markup would be for default monolingual functions to return a result with special language code (perhaps mul, zxx, ...). This would require wider discussion. Then the HTML function could detect that and wrap accordingly. But it doesn't solve the general problem of injections IMO. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 02:13, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

::::::::After my post I actually made that function and test even more complicated to include a call to action (CTA): a link to the function that is not configured in the requested language. I am starting to like where this is going, and think I can even get it done with strings by recognising your ❌≪ pattern, stripping it, and replacing it with a span (and a CTA link) when it turns to HTML.

With with literal input it works but with argument references it gives an error. Who can fix this?&lt;br&gt;

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way?

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).
::What you probably need is a collection of Featured Articles that are written in accordance with best practices and are safe to copy from.

:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.
Thanks a ton! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 08:32, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.

:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki.

::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too.

::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them).

Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion.

:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such).

:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:33, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio.

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 08:54, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries.

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable
! Option !! Pro !! Con
|-
| A. Wrap all fuctions to HTML || Easy to perform || This is delaying the solution
|-
| B. Flip all functions to HTML || Keeps tracebility || Huge impact/disturbance, especialy when cached
|-
| C. Copy all functions to HTML || No disturbance || Looses tracability
|}
:: The most practical soulution would be option C. I woluld perfer that as soon as possbile. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::C is fine by me. The easiest first-implementation of a copied function C is a wrapper of the monolingual/string, so A is sort of the first step of C. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict. These functions create complete sentences, nd those should be able to use HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. My current interest is to add HTML texts like &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;mul &quot;&gt;NLG Default text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 06:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::These additional features (bold/links etc) would benefit from additional parameters to control them. I still don't know how to do this best. I tried once at [[:f:Z32496]] and [[:f:Z32410]], but it may not be right, and may not be a complete solution anyway. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:26, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::OK, let's start with option A, as a first step for option C. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::I have made wrappers (option A) for some general functions like [[f:Z36983]], [[f:Z36983]]. [[f:Z36987]], [[f:Z36993]] and [[f:Z37011]]. [[f:Z32965]] already existed, but as well as the monolingual [[f:Z26095]] both have an error: Error in evaluation. Can somebody fix this? On the AW articles I have updated a few lemmas by replacing the old functions to HTML functions, but find this quite cumbersome. A few hundred lemmas should be updated, but I have no time and/or no desire to do so. In the coming weeks (or so) I will start on Option C for these functions. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 17:51, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I'll try to help replace some of the usage. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::I think I've sorted out [[:f:Z32965]]. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:45, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thinking about this. One way we could do this particular markup would be for default monolingual functions to return a result with special language code (perhaps mul, zxx, ...). This would require wider discussion. Then the HTML function could detect that and wrap accordingly. But it doesn't solve the general problem of injections IMO. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 02:13, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

::::::::After my post I actually made that function and test even more complicated to include a call to action (CTA): a link to the function that is not configured in the requested language. I am starting to like where this is going, and think I can even get it done with strings by recognising your ❌≪ pattern, stripping it, and replacing it with a span (and a CTA link) when it turns to HTML. Unfortunately the linking requires passing in a ZID, so might need a new general conversion function with an extra parameter. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 08:40, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

If they work reliably on all NLG monolingual strings, then we can use them in the wrappers (even if you think the wrappers are frivolous), and the configurations can remain deeper on the monolingual strings. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 01:56, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way? [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:14, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).

:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Wikifunctions Reached rate limit ==

When I open [[Q408]], the article is full of &quot;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Reached rate limit in evaluator&quot; except for some titles and images. This happens on many other pages. [[User:Steven Sun|Steven Sun]] ([[User talk:Steven Sun|talk]]) 12:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.

:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki.

::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too.

Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|talk]]) 07:48, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yes, that (I hope) was the fix I applied on Wikifunctions. The inclusion of “on” as a third-person singular pronoun was reversed this morning. Hopefully we’ll see an expanded table in due course! [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] We will need a detailed table to avoid confusion. I temporarily removed it from the table. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Choucas|Choucas]] For the time being, I removed &quot;on&quot; since it requires a detailed explanation (I will add when we are able to add more complex sentences.).

:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them).

:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one.

::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article.

And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand.

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:33, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

== How should Abstract Wikipedia work? ==

What do we think, as a community?

[[Abstract Wikipedia talk:About#How does Abstract Wikipedia work?]] [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:42, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

:I have particular reservations about simply acquiring data from Wikidata. On the one hand, it keeps the abstract article up to date but, on the other hand, it means our language-neutral content is not necessarily actively curated.
:I don’t see a simple solution to this, but I believe we should, as a minimum, distinguish between content that is explicitly curated on the Abstract Wikipedia article page and that which is obtained from Wikidata when the function call is evaluated. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 13:50, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

== improve diffs ==

Right now, when we try to check changes that happened to an article, the site only shows the functions and item/lexeme codes, not in a natural language form, making moderating and tracking changes quite challenging. Is there a way to allow both the code and the natural language changes to be available while checking diffs? [[User:Omar M. Ghaly|Omar M. Ghaly]] ([[User talk:Omar M.

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio.

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 08:54, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries.

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable

:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict.

::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thinking about this. One way we could do this particular markup would be for default monolingual functions to return a result with special language code (perhaps mul, zxx, ...).

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way?

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Wikifunctions &amp; Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter #257: Beyond syntactic tables ==

There is [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-07-16|a new update]] for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue, we discuss syntactic tables and news in Types, we show some community blogposts and tools, we remind you of the Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia events at Wikimania 2026, and we take a look at the latest software developments.

Want to catch up with the previous updates? Check [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates|our archive]]!

We also remind you that in the next weeks these newsletter reminders will be paused, and that they will resume in mid-August.

== Wikifunctions Reached rate limit ==

When I open [[Q408]], the article is full of &quot;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Reached rate limit in evaluator&quot; except for some titles and images. This happens on many other pages. [[User:Steven Sun|Steven Sun]] ([[User talk:Steven Sun|talk]]) 12:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

:This issue is tracked in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430898 . The error codes sometimes get recategorised, but it ultimately seems to be some kind of rate issue. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 13:46, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good suggestion. Can you put in a Phabricator feature request to figure out how to categorise? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:40, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
::Sure! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 06:56, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggested functions changed ==

I've swapped the suggested functions per the discussion on the talk page at [[MediaWiki talk:AbstractWikiSuggestedWikifunctions.json]]. Please let me know if this causes any trouble editing. In particular @[[User:Denny]], [[User:DVrandecic (WMF)]], [[User:Sannita (WMF)]], [[User:Jdforrester_(WMF)]] if will hinder your presentation, I'm happy to revert for a while if you are relying on the old list.

In case like [[Q1842|Luxembourg]] or [[Q55115|Monaco-Ville]] the funcion above doesn't work, probably because it reads twice the words Luxembourg and Monaco [[User:Mastrocom|Mastrocom]] ([[User talk:Mastrocom|talk]]) 14:54, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.
:[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:34, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yeah, I heavily doubt enwiki will be open to Abstract Wikipedia integration given the fiasco that has been happening. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 21:54, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:09, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
:::Thank you for pointing this out. This content actually comes directly from a Wikifunctions function, so I’ll fix that. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:56, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too. The fact it's informal and colloquial means it shouldn't be used in sentences but on a table showing all the possibilities, it should absolutely be present. Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|talk]]) 07:48, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yes, that (I hope) was the fix I applied on Wikifunctions. The inclusion of “on” as a third-person singular pronoun was reversed this morning. Hopefully we’ll see an expanded table in due course! [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] We will need a detailed table to avoid confusion. I temporarily removed it from the table. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Choucas|Choucas]] For the time being, I removed &quot;on&quot; since it requires a detailed explanation (I will add when we are able to add more complex sentences.).  However, English Wikipedia article needs to be corrected as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronouns_in_French#Subject_pronouns  [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:17, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them). Since this batch is the first, I think we should even vote on whether we support each of the 5 the team chose as ready. What do others think? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 04:14, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one. Before selecting pilot articles, the process should begin with configuring and testing the necessary language functions in those languages. Only after that foundation is in place would it make sense to start identifying and evaluating potential pilot articles. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 10:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::It’s not very clear. I think it just means that during the pilot period, any pilot community’s language would be added to the limited set of languages for which previews would be available. From the final paragraph in [[Help:Abstract articles#Language coverage]], it appears that the Abstract Wikipedia community would ultimately control which languages are supported (expecting most or all). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I think Abstract Wikipedia contributors need some way to indicate that an article is a draft or otherwise inadequate, based on the quality of the information it currently provides. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article. I imagine that we will create, for example, one good set of functions to create an abstract article about tennis players or lakes and then bot create tens of thousands in one go. And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand. A tool that says which ones renders flawlessly and in which languages would be great (and even better if it can also give reports for what is missing for those who can't, like missing data on Wikidata or lexemes or lables in that language). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:34, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::I’m not in favour of bot-created articles. But the quality-assurance challenges exist even with changes to a single Wikifunctions function or Wikidata lexeme (for example). That’s why we will need article diffs that show how the rendered content has changed over time, not just the article structure. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Early on in the development, there was talk about &quot;template articles&quot; to be used for all articles of a certain topic (like soccer players or lakes). That is not in the development plan any longer. And if we neither have that nor going to create articles in bulk, I don't think I have any interest in this project any longer. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:29, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I’m just expressing my personal reservations about bot-articles. Templates and information-rich functions (like infoboxes or introductory content) are a different matter.

[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:42, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I'm sorry, I didn't mean templates in the traditional Wikipedia sense. Rather that we have an entire abstract article as a template. Like the &quot;canonical lake article&quot;. Which would mean that an improvement of the template improved all abstract articles about lakes (that hadn't been subst:ed and individually developed because it was a lake someone cared extra about). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 11:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::We don't have templates, but instead we do already have some intro sentences, like [[f:Z37922|Z37922]] (intro for species) and [[f:Z38757|Z38757]] (person lead sentence with occupations). Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion. Details information can then be added on article by article basis. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such). But I appreciate this is off-topic. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yes. I don’t think the team have already decided that those articles are ready, but that is clearly a community decision. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:45, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026.

::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

:I have particular reservations about simply acquiring data from Wikidata. On the one hand, it keeps the abstract article up to date but, on the other hand, it means our language-neutral content is not necessarily actively curated.
:I don’t see a simple solution to this, but I believe we should, as a minimum, distinguish between content that is explicitly curated on the Abstract Wikipedia article page and that which is obtained from Wikidata when the function call is evaluated.

Right now, when we try to check changes that happened to an article, the site only shows the functions and item/lexeme codes, not in a natural language form, making moderating and tracking changes quite challenging.

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio.

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries.

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable

::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW.

Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

With with literal input it works but with argument references it gives an error. Who can fix this?&lt;br&gt;

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way?

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).
::What you probably need is a collection of Featured Articles that are written in accordance with best practices and are safe to copy from.

:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.
Thanks a ton! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 08:32, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good suggestion. Can you put in a Phabricator feature request to figure out how to categorise? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:40, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.
:[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:34, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yeah, I heavily doubt enwiki will be open to Abstract Wikipedia integration given the fiasco that has been happening. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 21:54, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:09, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
:::Thank you for pointing this out. This content actually comes directly from a Wikifunctions function, so I’ll fix that. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:56, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too. The fact it's informal and colloquial means it shouldn't be used in sentences but on a table showing all the possibilities, it should absolutely be present. Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|talk]]) 07:48, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yes, that (I hope) was the fix I applied on Wikifunctions. The inclusion of “on” as a third-person singular pronoun was reversed this morning. Hopefully we’ll see an expanded table in due course! [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] We will need a detailed table to avoid confusion. I temporarily removed it from the table. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Choucas|Choucas]] For the time being, I removed &quot;on&quot; since it requires a detailed explanation (I will add when we are able to add more complex sentences.).  However, English Wikipedia article needs to be corrected as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronouns_in_French#Subject_pronouns  [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:17, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them). Since this batch is the first, I think we should even vote on whether we support each of the 5 the team chose as ready. What do others think? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 04:14, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::I agree that we might need a process now in the early days, but we should when creating such policy document the ambition that we eventually would like to make it solely in the hands of the reusing community. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 09:52, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one. Before selecting pilot articles, the process should begin with configuring and testing the necessary language functions in those languages. Only after that foundation is in place would it make sense to start identifying and evaluating potential pilot articles. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 10:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::It’s not very clear. I think it just means that during the pilot period, any pilot community’s language would be added to the limited set of languages for which previews would be available. From the final paragraph in [[Help:Abstract articles#Language coverage]], it appears that the Abstract Wikipedia community would ultimately control which languages are supported (expecting most or all). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I think Abstract Wikipedia contributors need some way to indicate that an article is a draft or otherwise inadequate, based on the quality of the information it currently provides. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article. I imagine that we will create, for example, one good set of functions to create an abstract article about tennis players or lakes and then bot create tens of thousands in one go. And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand. A tool that says which ones renders flawlessly and in which languages would be great (and even better if it can also give reports for what is missing for those who can't, like missing data on Wikidata or lexemes or lables in that language). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:34, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::I’m not in favour of bot-created articles. But the quality-assurance challenges exist even with changes to a single Wikifunctions function or Wikidata lexeme (for example). That’s why we will need article diffs that show how the rendered content has changed over time, not just the article structure. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Early on in the development, there was talk about &quot;template articles&quot; to be used for all articles of a certain topic (like soccer players or lakes). That is not in the development plan any longer. And if we neither have that nor going to create articles in bulk, I don't think I have any interest in this project any longer. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:29, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I’m just expressing my personal reservations about bot-articles. Templates and information-rich functions (like infoboxes or introductory content) are a different matter. Ultimately, I think the development plan needs to align with the needs of the content creators and content consumers, rather than the other way around (recognizing that resources are always limited, of course). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:42, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I'm sorry, I didn't mean templates in the traditional Wikipedia sense. Rather that we have an entire abstract article as a template. Like the &quot;canonical lake article&quot;. Which would mean that an improvement of the template improved all abstract articles about lakes (that hadn't been subst:ed and individually developed because it was a lake someone cared extra about). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 11:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::We don't have templates, but instead we do already have some intro sentences, like [[f:Z37922|Z37922]] (intro for species) and [[f:Z38757|Z38757]] (person lead sentence with occupations). Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion. Details information can then be added on article by article basis. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such). But I appreciate this is off-topic. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yes. I don’t think the team have already decided that those articles are ready, but that is clearly a community decision. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:45, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).
:For the content, it's an other separate matter entirely. There is improvements but we are still a bit far from the minimum expected. We should keep working on that

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026.

::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

== How should Abstract Wikipedia work? ==

What do we think, as a community?

[[Abstract Wikipedia talk:About#How does Abstract Wikipedia work?]] [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:42, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

:I have particular reservations about simply acquiring data from Wikidata. On the one hand, it keeps the abstract article up to date but, on the other hand, it means our language-neutral content is not necessarily actively curated.
:I don’t see a simple solution to this, but I believe we should, as a minimum, distinguish between content that is explicitly curated on the Abstract Wikipedia article page and that which is obtained from Wikidata when the function call is evaluated. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 13:50, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

== improve diffs ==

Right now, when we try to check changes that happened to an article, the site only shows the functions and item/lexeme codes, not in a natural language form, making moderating and tracking changes quite challenging. Is there a way to allow both the code and the natural language changes to be available while checking diffs? [[User:Omar M. Ghaly|Omar M. Ghaly]] ([[User talk:Omar M. Ghaly|talk]]) 08:34, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio. [[User:Osarius|Osarius]] ([[User talk:Osarius|talk]]) 20:23, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

:Did you read [[Abstract Wikipedia:About]]? &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 08:34, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 08:54, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

== Creating abstract articles are difficult to me ==
Hi, sorry, new on AW and don't know if this is the right place to put it, but yeah.

I wanted to create an abstract article on my language Tumbuka, but the tutorial at [[Help:How to create an article]] seemed really confusing. Tried the tutorial and immediately disbanded because I got lost quickly.

Any easier ways to do this? Thank you. [[User:Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi|Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi]] ([[User talk:Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi|talk]]) 13:30, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

: To start with, for which topic did you want to create an article? Articles are organized by topic (from [[Wikidata:]]) and not by language since the goal is to have abstract content that can produce text in different languages. &lt;small&gt;Also, why do you have [[w:en:category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of هادية أنسو|so many]] socks?&lt;/small&gt; Here's the article [[Q11573]] as an example.

== readiness indicator ==

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific).

== HTML, monolingual text or String for fragments ==

I think there is an important issue on the Output type of parts for text segments. Currently some sentences produce String output (like  [[f:Z26039]] ) or monolingual text output ( like [[:f:Z26570]] ) pr HTML output ( like [[f:Z36200]] ). Apart from not being consistent I think there is even a bigger issue: these types don't allow text to be set in bold (in the introduction sentence for instance), or wikilinks to other AW articles. Am I correct that is only allowed in HTML text? 

If so I think we should change ALL languages functions to output type HTML as soon as possible. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 15:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:Currently, I am exploring this function for converting all of these to HTML fragment [[f:Z36303]]. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 16:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 21:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that new sentence functions should be HTML. For now the old ones should be wrapped by a converter (which is best done on WF). Then all calls from AW can be to HTML producing functions. When we need bold we could either try to inject it, or write equivalent functions that will eventually replace the usage of the string ones. The string ones may still be valuable for processing some of the new NLG types, so we shouldn't actually flip the original functions. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 23:30, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::I think wrapping the functions to HTML is delaying the solution. We either need to flip all (NLG) functions or all functions should be copied to HTML versions (and the all functions shoule not be used therafter)
::{| class=wikitable

| A. Wrap all fuctions to HTML || Easy to perform || This is delaying the solution

:::I like your suggestions. Based on my personal experience with different result types from Wikifunctions, I would suggest that AW support all three and convert the results to HTML using built-in functions. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 05:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::The reason why function need to change is because the current string functions don't allow HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. AW supporting all 3 type pf output could easily be avoiding by option A. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:29, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::C is fine by me. The easiest first-implementation of a copied function C is a wrapper of the monolingual/string, so A is sort of the first step of C. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, good suggestion. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:No. I really don't see why we should. These are functions that generate text fragments in a single language—the monolingual text type is the most appropriate return type for them. It is just text. They can be coerced to HTML extremely easily and doing that step ahead of time, hardcoded, for the sole purpose of making abstract articles ''marginally'' easier to write, is just not worth the effort and foregoes what makes the functions' return types suitable in the first place. If there is some argument that can be made for hard pivoting to HTML fragments then I am all ears, but I really don't see a reason for it. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 05:53, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::I like to contradict. These functions create complete sentences, nd those should be able to use HLTM features like bold text, wikilinks etc. My current interest is to add HTML texts like &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;mul &quot;&gt;NLG Default text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 06:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::These additional features (bold/links etc) would benefit from additional parameters to control them. I still don't know how to do this best.

::::A newer idea I had is to add all the links in the language-configured function, then call link-removing functions like [[:f:Z36853]] or [[:f:Z36831]] when composing them into AW. This could extend to swapping links for bold. Instead of an initial link, the QIDs could be wrapped with HTML spans with a QID ID, which could then be selectively converted into links or bolded etc. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Simple wrapping is just to benefit the AW editor. IMO it's worth it because it's pretty easy to make a new function, so is very low cost, and for the new editors on AW, they don't have to understand composing or our WF Types. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:::OK, let's start with option A, as a first step for option C. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 07:16, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

[[f:Z32965]] already existed, but as well as the monolingual [[f:Z26095]] both have an error: Error in evaluation. Can somebody fix this? On the AW articles I have updated a few lemmas by replacing the old functions to HTML functions, but find this quite cumbersome.

:::So a bunch of bespoke functions on Wikifunctions that offer some marginal improvement over their more generalized counterparts, and we expect to do all of our language generation functions ''this way'' now or something, god forbid we expend ''one'' extra function call to just wrap the output if an injection function is really that scary to you. Wrapping the functions to HTML is not 「delaying the solution」 more than it's just the least disruptive way to approach this completely frivolous problem. Are we to write all of our NLG functions to output HTML now? That is what makes sense for us now, in the future? What? We have a type for this, it's called Monolingual text. We have Python and JavaScript at our disposal, and they are wicked biznasty at string manipulation (i.e. they are very good at it), so injecting formatting into a larger sentence instead of porting the whole thing over to use HTML exclusively is really not that big of an ask. &amp;mdash; [[User:Theki|rae&lt;sup&gt;5e&lt;/sup&gt;]] &amp;lt;[[User talk:Theki|talk]]&amp;gt; 07:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

== Infoboxes ==

I changed layout of the infoboxes, to be more in line with Wikipedia's infoboxes. See for example [[f:Z36678|Z36678]] &quot;infobox for city&quot; used in [[Q90]] &quot;Paris&quot;. I would like [[f:Z37625|Z37625]] &quot;infobox row&quot; to check if a claim exists in Wikidata, but I have difficulties with he parameters for [[f:Z27299|Z27299]] &quot;Wikidata item has claim?&quot;. With with literal input it works but with argument references it gives an error. Who can fix this?&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore I think it would be nice it we could add a pen-icon next to the values to be able to edit the claim on Wikidata, and pen-icon at the property to edit the label.

== Lexemes of property names ==

{{ping|HenkvD|feeglgeef|GrounderUK}} Hello.  Please could anybody tell me their opinion on this question?  It may be necessary to find a lexeme corresponding to the name of a property.  For instance, [[f:Z28445|Z28445]] &quot;most recent year-specific sentence about item&quot; has a property reference as argument and needs the name of the property to be rendered in the output; the particular property could be {{Q|P1082}}.  In the English implementation, the name of the property &quot;population&quot; is found from the WikiData property attributes, but for other languages other syntactical information such as gender may be needed, so I suppose that a link to the lexeme is required.  How should the rendering function find a link to the lexeme?  Is there a way to find the item corresponding to the property?  Or should the syntactical information be found some other way?

== Feedback needed on constructing a new abstract article ==

Hi all, I wanted to ask a couple of questions to the community regarding how easy or difficult is to construct a new abstract article.

Consider I'm a newbie that wants to create a new abstract article about my home city. What would you suggest I do first? Is there a sufficiently good example I can copy and adapt? Can I add already almost everything that I would like to add (say, number of inhabitants, region where my city is, mayor of the city, stuff like that) or is there something I ''cannot'' add still? What is there and what is missing at the moment?

Thanks in advance for your answers! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 12:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

:Sannita, in general it is very difficult (even for me) to construct a new abstract article from scratch. Copying from an existing article is easier, as also mentioned in [[Help:How to create an article]]. That example is also a city, so we better make that article a good example. The information you mention could be in the infobox, which is also available to use and extend (if performance permits). Creating a article by copy/paste should be done for each sentence or paragraph. Add additional sentences is still very difficult. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
:The biggest challenge for me would be finding the right functions to do the job. It's kinda to the point where the help article, mentioned by HenkvD, is just saying to copy other articles. The issue is with trying to add more &quot;unique&quot; sentence structures that may not be in every article. For example, take this:
:&lt;code&gt;New York is known for being the financial hub for the United States&lt;/code&gt;
:More abstractly: &lt;code&gt;X is known for being Y for the Z&lt;/code&gt;
:If a function that does something like that doesn't exist, that pushes the user into a weird space where they may have to use a different function that may sound more robotic or be grammatically incorrect.
:It's not hard to create a stub abstract article, but anything beyond that takes a lot of time and effort to find the right functions for the job. Additionally, dealing with different data types (ex: Wikidata item reference vs Wikidata item) may turn off people who aren't familiar with computer science principles. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 02:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::The problem with copying other articles is that you need to somehow know that the article you're copying from is correct. If I wanted, for example, to make an article about some root vegetable like [[Q188614]] and copied [[Q81]] I'd be doing a very bad job because the second paragraph is written in a way that is completely untranslatable in its structure (by that I mean it is not fixable by changing [[f:Z18845]] to a function that work for all languages, the fragment itself integrates features of English grammar, such as SVO word order, and therefore needs a rewrite).
::What you probably need is a collection of Featured Articles that are written in accordance with best practices and are safe to copy from. This would make it so novice users don't start picking up anti-patterns and propagating them all over abstract Wikipedia, making them harder to fix. [[User:Warudo|Warudo]] ([[User talk:Warudo|talk]]) 15:32, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Absolutely correct. I've deleted that paragraph with an explanation that that kind of work is better done on Wikifunctions to construct an English renderer. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:20, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:I'm throwing together some thoughts at [[User:99of9/ArticleWriting]]. It's still very much a draft, but I hope the ideas help. Asking questions about it may help me focus on what you want. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 11:53, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
:To be honest I don't think we are ready to start adding new articles at full speed. Only a few functions can be used properly, and not many functions can be used in enough other languages. Furthermore the performance is so bad that most of the functions will time-out. Personally i consider the AW articles as sandboxes to experiment on, not yet articles that are well constructed.

::Single fragments usually don't time out when you first put them in. So you can usually edit productively in your first session.

== Feedback on function I created ==

I would ask this in the Telegram channel, but this is a longwinded question that I would like to get more detailed feedback on.

First and foremost, it is seriously important that we get the ability to call functions with python/JS implementations. It would make creating these types of functions ten times faster, with the additional benefit of being easier to read.

I'm relatively close to completion on a function that will create a brief introductory paragraph for species articles: '''[[wikifunctions:Z37793|Intro for species in English composition]]'''. It contains the following:
* Intro (e.g. &quot;'''''Homo sapiens''''', also known as the '''Human''', is a species of primate in the family [[Q635162|Hominidae]].&quot;)
**The word &quot;primate&quot; in this case is a string supplied by the user and is optional - it could be anything they want (ex: humanoid, animal, bipedal creature, etc)
* Year of description (e.g. &quot;The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.&quot;)
* IUCN conservation status (e.g. &quot;''C. lupus'' has been assessed as Least Concern by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).&quot;)

So all together:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
'''''Dionaea muscipula''''', also known as the '''Venus flytrap''', is a species of carnivorous plant in the family [[Q156185|Droseraceae]]. The species was described in 1768 by John Ellis. ''D. muscipula'' has been assessed as Vulnerable by the [[Q48268|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It also works when there is a lot of taxon authors:&lt;blockquote&gt;
The species was described in 2026 by Anh Van Pham, Chung Van Hoang, Nguyen Quang Truong, Thuy Thu Thi Nguyen, Ky Danh Nguyen, Toan Canh Thai and Thomas Ziegler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The composition itself is basically stringing together a lot of html fragments - if you want to find a specific bit, you just scroll down to around the section of the paragraph you want. Each HTML fragment is roughly a sentence.

I originally intended to add a sentence about distribution, but I didn't know how nicely that would play when [[wikidata:Property:P9714|P9714]] has a million values attached to it. Eventually I plan to integrate this translation into a system like the [[wikifunctions:Z20898|one that exists for year articles]]. 

I have a couple questions:
* Is there any other additions to this function that I should make? Ideally, this should be data I can fetch from Wikidata.
* What are the best practices to make the function easier to translate? I've tried to rely on other functions which can work with different languages (and making my own, including [[wikifunctions:Z37833|Z37833]])
* I'm still relatively new to Wikifunctions. If someone could take a look and see if there is any glaring errors or functions that exist and do what I am already doing, that'd be awesome.

I am aware of a couple bugs:
* The error handling is not great, and the sentence about description date has a hardcoded true value in the if function. I'm looking for a better way to deal with the errors - the main idea for this is to stop the function from generating sentences if the necessary values don't exist in Wikidata. 
* A function I made ([[wikifunctions:Z37808|Z37808]]) that fetches the describing authority crashes if the person does not have a label in the given language.

Feel free to edit/fix anything if you want to.
Thanks a ton! [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 08:32, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

:Nice one. I'll take a look. My general comment is that the extra supplied string (e.g. for the family) should not be a string, it should be a different QID. This is because in Abstract Wikipedia we can't pass in single-language strings. The function needs to somehow get from the QIDs all the way to the HTML by itself. Once you've got the structure ready, the next thing you can do is include your examples as Tests. The easiest way to make an HTML test for a function which already has a configuration is to make one with an empty validation comparison, run it, then copy the stuff it failed with into the validation. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:21, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, one more structural change. Even though this is for &quot;English&quot;, it's usually best to accept an extra parameter for the &quot;language variant&quot;, because there are a bunch of variants of English (which, for example, may have different common names). You may not use it for now, but it's a pain to change the arguments after the function has a lot of use. [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
::And if you need the &quot;of primate&quot; hypernym to be optional, you could include a boolean parameter to say whether or not to print whatever QID is supplied. Or another idea, (this may be controversial) you could decide that if both QIDs were the same, that was when to drop the &quot;of human&quot;. This second method would work particularly well in AW IMHO, because it would autofill both to be the same as the page QID, so it would work from the start without even clicking a boolean (and editors could then pick another QID if they wanted a hypernym). --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) [[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 10:31, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Wikifunctions Reached rate limit ==

When I open [[Q408]], the article is full of &quot;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Reached rate limit in evaluator&quot; except for some titles and images. This happens on many other pages. [[User:Steven Sun|Steven Sun]] ([[User talk:Steven Sun|talk]]) 12:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

:This issue is tracked in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430898 . The error codes sometimes get recategorised, but it ultimately seems to be some kind of rate issue. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 13:46, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

== The problem of categories ==

As it stands, categories require you to physically type the link into the source editor (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Living people]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), which would require a page to be made, thereby nullifying the abstract page.

I predict many wikis would like to be able to categorize Abstract articles, as in my opinion, any page that has substantial content (even if it doesn't exist yet) is worth categorizing. They may not populated in normal categorizes, but it could be something like this: 
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about living people]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about STEM]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about health]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about geographic places]]
* [[:Category:Abstract articles about extant species]]
* and more, at the choice of the language's community
&lt;small&gt;(similar to that of draft categories)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, regarding only Abstract Wikipedia, it would be nice to be able to add (and see) local categories to abstract pages. We have over 2000 pages already, and the only way to find any of them is to go to [[Special:AllPages]], [[Special:LongPages]], or to click the random page button. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 00:09, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good suggestion. Can you put in a Phabricator feature request to figure out how to categorise? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:40, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Expanding FAQ to correct common misconceptions ==

re: The ongoing closure RfC on Meta, I thought it might help to make a {{Q|4345841}} for AW. I didn't feel it was my place to do so, so I gathered [[Project_talk:Frequently_Asked_Questions#Correcting_common_misconceptions,_possibly_needs_a_separate_page_AW:NOT|a list of misconceptions on the FAQ's talk page]] which can be used as a starting point. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 02:52, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

== Suggestions wanted for early pilot articles to make available cross-wiki ==

Hey all,

We're building up to the first pilot release of cross-wiki abstract articles, where one community's sysops will be able to pick some (or none) of certain abstract articles onto their wiki for their readers to see. To demonstrate the system at all, we picked five general topics: Paris and London, Wikipedia, and our commonly-used &quot;example&quot; topics of Douglas Adams and Jupiter. (You can see the available list at [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].) 

However, these are probably not the best or only topics to get started with. We're going to be only making a small selection available to start with, but we'd love your ideas of what articles are the best early demonstrators of the work you're all doing. (I appreciate that this may be influenced by which pilot wiki or wikis are using them, so happy for you to have further ideas later, of course!)

What 3–5 articles do you collectively think we should add to this list?

[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|Jdforrester (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester (WMF)|talk]]) 21:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

: I think the proposed articles are already available on the target pilot communities/pilot Wikipedia's. I therefore propose other type or articles 
:* an Italian politician, only available in Italian language  
:* small towns in the smaller target Wikipedia's 
:* a species only available in one language
: Furthermore I don't think the larger wikipedia's (en/de/fr/es) are open for this kind of experiments, but I could be wrong.
:[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 05:34, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yeah, I heavily doubt enwiki will be open to Abstract Wikipedia integration given the fiasco that has been happening. [[User:EatingCarBatteries|EatingCarBatteries]] ([[User talk:EatingCarBatteries|talk]]) 21:54, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:I really like the diverse range of these five selected articles ([https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PreviewAbstract?uselang=en Special:PreviewAbstract].). I feel that we can further expand the list. We currently have [[f:User:Jsamwrites/Infoboxes|infoboxes]] covering topics such as astronomy, chemistry, media, GLAM, history, computer science, and Wikimedia movements (including Wikimania). We also have infoboxes for languages alongside inflection tables, which should particularly interest Wiktionary communities. For example, article on [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q11923 French grammar].  
:Additionally, some of the recent articles on AW are multilingual, while others are bilingual (English and French, showcasing how we can handle tenses and pronoun usage). A more detailed selection of articles is a great way to demonstrate that Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can effectively support both simple and complex articles. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 18:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
:: Just for your information, the French grammar article is incorrect, because both sub-level articles about pronouns are incorrect and therefore the table found on all three is wrong. &quot;on&quot; is a singular, third person pronoun, and always conjugated as such. Its use as a plural, first person one is purely informal/colloquial and should absolutely never be seen anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a very basic mistake that no French speaker of even rudimentary proficiency would have missed, so I wonder how this table was generated. If that is the kind of example you plan to showcase as proof of concept, or integrate into Wiktionary, I would seriously reconsider, especially since French is one of the biggest languages in the movement, not one of the much smaller ones supposedly targeted by abstractwiki. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 15:09, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
:::Thank you for pointing this out. This content actually comes directly from a Wikifunctions function, so I’ll fix that. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:56, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Choucas}} thanks for letting us know but I disagree and [[:en:Personal pronouns in French]] disagrees too. The fact it's informal and colloquial means it shouldn't be used in sentences but on a table showing all the possibilities, it should absolutely be present. Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|talk]]) 07:48, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::: If you clicked on the interwiki link on my userpace, you have probably seen that like you, I am a native speaker, so there is no need to explain to me how personal pronouns work in French. If the table looked the same as on the enwiki page, with the additional columns and footnotes, then yes, there would be no harm in showing the subtleties around the use of &quot;on&quot;. However, currently the table is three rows and two columns, with no explanation whatsoever, and within the rest of the page it clearly implied it is conjugated as a plural first person pronoun. Either there is a full table, or there is a simplified one and &quot;on&quot; is put in singular third person, but having it only in first person plural was just wrong. That is really the only thing I was pointing at, albeit in way less many words. [[User:Choucas|Choucas]] ([[User talk:Choucas|talk]]) 09:44, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yes, that (I hope) was the fix I applied on Wikifunctions. The inclusion of “on” as a third-person singular pronoun was reversed this morning. Hopefully we’ll see an expanded table in due course! [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] We will need a detailed table to avoid confusion. I temporarily removed it from the table. [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Choucas|Choucas]] For the time being, I removed &quot;on&quot; since it requires a detailed explanation (I will add when we are able to add more complex sentences.).  However, English Wikipedia article needs to be corrected as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronouns_in_French#Subject_pronouns  [[User:Jsamwrites|John Samuel]] ([[User:Jsamwrites|talk]]) 10:17, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
:I think we need a process (like this but more structured) where the AW community decides which articles are ready to be &quot;released&quot;, before they can be taken up by other wikis. Otherwise (as Choucas highlighted above), we risk losing credibility by making available drafts or serious errors. I'm not saying they need to be perfect before release, but I think it should be a community decision at this end as well as the other end (the language-wiki embedding them). Since this batch is the first, I think we should even vote on whether we support each of the 5 the team chose as ready. What do others think? --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 04:14, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::I agree that we might need a process now in the early days, but we should when creating such policy document the ambition that we eventually would like to make it solely in the hands of the reusing community. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 09:52, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I fully agree that we need a clear process, including a decision by the AW community on the quality of the pilot articles before they are released to the target wikis. It should also be explicit which target wikis and communities are in scope.
:::On [[Help:Abstract articles]], I read that English, German, French, and Spanish Wikipedias are in scope as target communities. Does this mean that, for example, the English Wikipedia community has expressed interest in participating as a pilot?
:::Regarding Dagbani, Igbo, and Hausa, these languages currently have either no configured language functions or only one. Before selecting pilot articles, the process should begin with configuring and testing the necessary language functions in those languages. Only after that foundation is in place would it make sense to start identifying and evaluating potential pilot articles. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 10:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::It’s not very clear. I think it just means that during the pilot period, any pilot community’s language would be added to the limited set of languages for which previews would be available. From the final paragraph in [[Help:Abstract articles#Language coverage]], it appears that the Abstract Wikipedia community would ultimately control which languages are supported (expecting most or all). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::I think Abstract Wikipedia contributors need some way to indicate that an article is a draft or otherwise inadequate, based on the quality of the information it currently provides. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
::::Perhaps, but I hope we won't try for a system that requires us to that manually article by article. I imagine that we will create, for example, one good set of functions to create an abstract article about tennis players or lakes and then bot create tens of thousands in one go. And obviously we should have some high standards for when to run the bot, but it will then be unrealistic to check them one by one by hand. A tool that says which ones renders flawlessly and in which languages would be great (and even better if it can also give reports for what is missing for those who can't, like missing data on Wikidata or lexemes or lables in that language). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:34, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::I’m not in favour of bot-created articles. But the quality-assurance challenges exist even with changes to a single Wikifunctions function or Wikidata lexeme (for example). That’s why we will need article diffs that show how the rendered content has changed over time, not just the article structure. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::Early on in the development, there was talk about &quot;template articles&quot; to be used for all articles of a certain topic (like soccer players or lakes). That is not in the development plan any longer. And if we neither have that nor going to create articles in bulk, I don't think I have any interest in this project any longer. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:29, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I’m just expressing my personal reservations about bot-articles. Templates and information-rich functions (like infoboxes or introductory content) are a different matter. Ultimately, I think the development plan needs to align with the needs of the content creators and content consumers, rather than the other way around (recognizing that resources are always limited, of course). [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 10:42, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I'm sorry, I didn't mean templates in the traditional Wikipedia sense. Rather that we have an entire abstract article as a template. Like the &quot;canonical lake article&quot;. Which would mean that an improvement of the template improved all abstract articles about lakes (that hadn't been subst:ed and individually developed because it was a lake someone cared extra about). &lt;span style=&quot;color:#EAA&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Ainali|discussion]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Ainali|contributions]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 11:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::We don't have templates, but instead we do already have some intro sentences, like [[f:Z37922|Z37922]] (intro for species) and [[f:Z38757|Z38757]] (person lead sentence with occupations). Personally I think that once enough functions are available in enough languages we could create thousands of bot articles for cities, species, soccer players, lakes etc.Into senetences combined with infoboxes that would provide enough basic information in my opinion. Details information can then be added on article by article basis. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Yes, that’s what I thought. I don’t think it’s technically difficult, but the subject-specific content would generally have to come from Wikidata or Commons, wouldn’t it? I’d be more inclined to say: here are the editorial “facts” (which may or may not be present on Wikidata), and here is one standard representation of those facts (which may or may not be an article, as such). But I appreciate this is off-topic. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
::Yes. I don’t think the team have already decided that those articles are ready, but that is clearly a community decision. [[User:GrounderUK|GrounderUK]] ([[User talk:GrounderUK|talk]]) 18:45, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
:There is 2 different things here. The topics and the content.
:For the topics, the list is good, albeit too general. Adding a place (maybe a small town or a building like a small chapel), a species (some kind of fish) a more mundane person (some John Doe unlike the famous Douglas Adams) would be better to demonstrate the diversity of possibilities (the &quot;template&quot; works for every/most human, not just for &quot;famous&quot; ones). I think it needs to be topics that have no article yet on most Wikipedia (unlike London that already exists on most Wikipedia).
:For the content, it's an other separate matter entirely. There is improvements but we are still a bit far from the minimum expected. We should keep working on that

: While I understand the point this little apple story is trying to make, I am afraid this whole thing falls flat for a very simple reason: we are not in 2002 anymore. Wikipedia is not a wild new idealistic thing, that only years of work by passionate volunteers will prove can succeed. Even worse, this is actually showing that this new start of the road in 2026 is even rougher and less promising than how it was in 2002: indeed, at that time, absolutely anyone could come in any newly set up Wikipedia in their own language and type the equivalent of &quot;an apple is a fruit&quot; and be done in a matter of fifteen seconds. That is why all these apples grew: because it was as simple as adding more words in your own language, and correcting the words of others, and that was (and still is) the magic of it. Instead, Abstract is starting from scratch again, with an impossibly high technical complexity to add even the most basic sentence or correct the simplest typo, making the growth of any article an exponentially more complex endeavor. I am not blind to the charm of the idea behind Abstract, but it is hard to look at what it involves in practice and see how it makes sense in 2026.

::I see you've come here from the RfC.&lt;br&gt;The method of producing articles by translating individual sentences [[Special:Permalink/14399|is possible on AW]], but is of course antithetical to the &quot;improve every language at once&quot; nature of the project.&lt;br&gt;It's always going to be more work to add to an abstract article than just writing text, and that's acceptable because that work has a greater impact too. It will be the choice of each editor whether they want to contribute here or to a local wikitext article. [[User:YoshiRulz|YoshiRulz]] ([[User talk:YoshiRulz|talk]]) 03:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Choucas|YoshiRulz}} you make a good point, looked at in isolation: writing one sentence is easier than writing one Wikifunction. But on Abstract Wikipédia you don't write sentence (nor translate), you set up pattern (a Wikifunction) that can be used on many articles (potentially all of them, we can imagine a point not so far away where all abstract Wikipedia pages would simply call one big general function &quot;make an article&quot;, you can have a look at [[Q18498]]). The difference is like making an addition 1+1+1+1+... (Wikipedia method) and making a multiplication 5000*1 (Wikifunctions method). So at the start, it may seems to be more work but very quickly it's better and faster with much less work. And yes, Wikifunctions are not for everyone (just like Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata are not for everyone) and won't replace Wikipedia (it goes without saying, but since it reuse the &quot;Wikipedia&quot; name, it should probably be said).

:I have particular reservations about simply acquiring data from Wikidata. On the one hand, it keeps the abstract article up to date but, on the other hand, it means our language-neutral content is not necessarily actively curated.
:I don’t see a simple solution to this, but I believe we should, as a minimum, distinguish between content that is explicitly curated on the Abstract Wikipedia article page and that which is obtained from Wikidata when the function call is evaluated.

Right now, when we try to check changes that happened to an article, the site only shows the functions and item/lexeme codes, not in a natural language form, making moderating and tracking changes quite challenging.

== Who is this for? ==

I've had a bash at creating a few articles here, and whilst I get the general premise I can't help but think who is the target audience here? Not just for reading the articles, but for creating them as well. At the moment, and I know it's early-days, creating an article is not exactly easy. You have to be fairly technically minded and understand functions, their inputs and outputs, and you have to know which functions suit your needs. None of which is currently intuitive or particularly available. On the other hand is the consumption audience. Who is this aimed at to read abstract articles? Humans? AI? It almost feels like a solution searching for a problem. Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive bit of software, but I just don't understand where it sits in WM's portfolio.

:Also, in '''my opinion''', the goal is to realize the [[foundationsite:what-we-do/open-the-knowledge/|vision]] of '''a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge''' across '''all languages'''. I could have specified 'all '''human''' languages,' but the potential of Wikifunctions goes beyond that to include [[:en:Constructed_language|'''constructed''' languages]] as well. While 'all' may sound ambitious, that is the core vision—who knows, we might even be able to generate short articles in Sumerian one day.  
:To answer your second question: since Abstract Wikipedia is being built by humans, it will serve as a space where people discuss and reach consensus on expressing even simple facts across languages (such as &quot;An apple is a fruit&quot;), likely sourced from Wikidata. Ultimately, it will be used by humans, potentially via conversational agents—though it is too early to predict exact use cases given current advances in AI.

::@[[User:Osarius|Osarius]] Basically Abstract Wikipedia create articles that can be shown on (many) other Wikipedia's if that community allows it. Only Articles that are not already present on the target Wikipedia. '''So the audience will be on the target Wikipedia's.''' This is not yet activated but we are starting pilots, see [[Abstract Wikipedia:For interested communities]]. But first functions should be written for those languages, Wikidata labels should  be updated, Wikidata Lexemes should be updated or created.

== More visibility for page for interested communities ==
Hi all, we prepared [[Abstract_Wikipedia:For_interested_communities|a landing page]] for potential Wikipedia communities that want to try out Abstract Wikipedia, and wanted to showcase it a bit more. In your opinion, is it a good idea to put that page into the sidebar together with the community portal and the project chat? Or do you suggest other venues as better or as additional places? Let me know here! [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 08:36, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

:I’d suggest the Main Page under “Get Started”. Perhaps that’s too much visibility, but it encourages contributors to work within existing language communities, where they exist, even if their community is not ready to consider integrating Abstract Wikipedia into their Wikipedia edition. I’d also consider the Community portal to be appropriate.
:I wouldn’t link directly from the sidebar, but we could consider an “in your language” link to a translatable landing page, from which contributors could find language-specific project pages. This would also cover the case where the language they are interested in is not their current interface language. The language-specific pages could link to relevant on-wiki discussions, particularly where communities are already actively involved or have concluded that they have other priorities or specific preconditions.

== Creating abstract articles are difficult to me ==
Hi, sorry, new on AW and don't know if this is the right place to put it, but yeah.

I wanted to create an abstract article on my language Tumbuka, but the tutorial at [[Help:How to create an article]] seemed really confusing. Tried the tutorial and immediately disbanded because I got lost quickly.

Any easier ways to do this? Thank you. [[User:Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi|Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi]] ([[User talk:Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi|talk]]) 13:30, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

: To start with, for which topic did you want to create an article? Articles are organized by topic (from [[Wikidata:]]) and not by language since the goal is to have abstract content that can produce text in different languages. &lt;small&gt;Also, why do you have [[w:en:category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of هادية أنسو|so many]] socks?&lt;/small&gt; Here's the article [[Q11573]] as an example.

== Editing and viewing abstract pages do not work ==

Essentially the title. To reproduce, go to, say [[Q319]]. Notice you cannot use it (it just displays JSON), and when you try to edit it, the same JSON is shown and editable. I'm sure the team is aware, just writing this down. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 18:58, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

:[[User:Jdforrester (WMF)]] notes that abstract articles are being created in the wrong namespace, which seems the likely cause. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 19:00, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

== Function links are 404s ==

If I click from https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q142 to the function view https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Z27868 I get a 404 error. That seems to be true for all the &quot;Z&quot; links. [[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] ([[User talk:Eloquence|talk]]) 23:17, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

== Undo not working ==

When I try to &quot;undo&quot; from history, it doesn't show the revert screen, but only shows the edit screen of the latest article. Maybe the same reason of mis-created namespace... [[User:Higa4|Higa4]] ([[User talk:Higa4|talk]]) 06:45, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Steps to reproduce:
* Go to [[Special:CreateAbstract/Q123456]]

== [[f:Z26095|Z26095]] not working ==

Hello, I could just file a task on Phabricator but checking here first. For some reason, I can't find [[f:Z26095|Z26095]] in the list of functions. [[User:FantasticWikiUser|FantasticWikiUser]] ([[User talk:FantasticWikiUser|talk]]) 17:33, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:FantasticWikiUser|FantasticWikiUser]]: Z26095 outputs a &quot;[https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en-gb/Z11 Monolingual text]&quot; item, not a fragment of HTML, so it won't show up in search except in places you can use a monolingual text item, like as an argument to a Z32234 call.

::On Wikidata, [[d:Q199]] didn't have a special label for English, instead using the default for all languages. The [[f:Z23753|label of item reference in language]] function was only able to find labels in the given language, without looking for defaults, so it showed up as nothing. I added an English label for 1, so everything should be fine now.

== Rate limits and other non-intelligible errors ==

I've been editing some pages here to experiment around, and the first thing I notice, aside from the very slow speed of how these very short sentences are constructed, are the constant errors I get. Some of these are:

* [[Q711]]&lt;br/&gt;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Could not acquire WASI runner within time limit
* [[Q183]]&lt;br/&gt;Unable to render this fragment due to an unknown error.

There was also something about a rate limit for the orchestrator? Is this a problem with the WMF servers? I've never noticed these kinds of performance issues, even in wikis like en-WP which have stacks and stacks of Lua modules and wikitext templates built on top of each other! [[User:LastCelebration|'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:#d98dd3;&quot;&gt;Last&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#033a7f;&quot;&gt;Celebration&lt;/span&gt;''']] ([[User talk:LastCelebration|talk]]) 06:54, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

== Error: Lexeme lacks compatible representations  ==

I have tried to create two articles using [[f:Z29743|Z29743]], one of which ([[Q467]]) has been successfully created. The other article was identical in structure, but linked the Wikidata items [[d:Q9800899|Q9800899]], [[d:Q6636|Q6636]], and [[d:Q467|Q467]]. However, neither article renders anything in English or French, throwing &lt;code&gt;Error: Lexeme lacks compatible representations&lt;/code&gt;. Any ideas?

:I think I’ve found the source of the error, and the problem is that the English lexemes with senses linking to [[:d:Q80994]] do not include the adjective [[:d:L5792]].

== Unable to select the function [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] while creating page [[Q628]] ==

I tried to add the function [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] on the page [[Q628]], but the selector didn't let me select the function, so i was forced to use the indonesian version of the function, and i think this is a bug, so i want to report it.

:@[[User:Mattiz6276|Mattiz6276]]: The problem here is that [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] doesn't return a type that can be cast as HTML raw content, but rather monolingual text.

== A language selector should be available, even for users not logged in ==

Abstract Wikipedia should have a language selector like [https://www.wikifunctions.org/ Wikifunctions] does, even for users not logged in to a Wikimedia account.

Without a language selector, it is not at all clear how people can even read the main page's introduction of Abstract Wikipedia in a language besides English.

The only way I see to change language is to add &lt;code&gt;uselang=[xx]&lt;/code&gt; at the end of a URL with a language code like [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia:Main_page?uselang=de &lt;code&gt;uselang=de&lt;/code&gt;] for German. But that is not easy for many users to discover.

== Editing and viewing abstract pages do not work ==

Essentially the title. To reproduce, go to, say [[Q319]]. Notice you cannot use it (it just displays JSON), and when you try to edit it, the same JSON is shown and editable. I'm sure the team is aware, just writing this down. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 18:58, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

== Rate limits and other non-intelligible errors ==

I've been editing some pages here to experiment around, and the first thing I notice, aside from the very slow speed of how these very short sentences are constructed, are the constant errors I get. Some of these are:

* [[Q711]]&lt;br/&gt;Wikifunctions returned a failed response: Could not acquire WASI runner within time limit
* [[Q183]]&lt;br/&gt;Unable to render this fragment due to an unknown error.

There was also something about a rate limit for the orchestrator? Is this a problem with the WMF servers? I've never noticed these kinds of performance issues, even in wikis like en-WP which have stacks and stacks of Lua modules and wikitext templates built on top of each other! [[User:LastCelebration|'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:#d98dd3;&quot;&gt;Last&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#033a7f;&quot;&gt;Celebration&lt;/span&gt;''']] ([[User talk:LastCelebration|talk]]) 06:54, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

== Unable to select the function [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] while creating page [[Q628]] ==

I tried to add the function [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] on the page [[Q628]], but the selector didn't let me select the function, so i was forced to use the indonesian version of the function, and i think this is a bug, so i want to report it. [[User:Mattiz6276|Mattiz6276]] ([[User talk:Mattiz6276|talk]]) 19:11, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Mattiz6276|Mattiz6276]]: The problem here is that [[f:Z28016|Z28016]] doesn't return a type that can be cast as HTML raw content, but rather monolingual text. Also, it looks like you wanted [[f:Z26570|Z26570]], so I changed it to use that. [[User:JJPMaster|JJP]]&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:JJPMaster|Mas]]&lt;sub&gt;[[Special:Contributions/JJPMaster|ter]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt; ([[Q1270787|she]]/[[Q3437264|they]]) 20:07, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
::Hi, i haven't been active on Abstract Wikipedia for a while (i mainly edit it.wiki), so sorry to not have answered you sooner.

== A language selector should be available, even for users not logged in ==

Abstract Wikipedia should have a language selector like [https://www.wikifunctions.org/ Wikifunctions] does, even for users not logged in to a Wikimedia account.

Without a language selector, it is not at all clear how people can even read the main page's introduction of Abstract Wikipedia in a language besides English.

The only way I see to change language is to add &lt;code&gt;uselang=[xx]&lt;/code&gt; at the end of a URL with a language code like [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia:Main_page?uselang=de &lt;code&gt;uselang=de&lt;/code&gt;] for German. But that is not easy for many users to discover.

== [[Q189125]] renders completely wrong ==

[[Q189125]] renders as the sentence &quot;Transgender persons change gender identities.&quot; three times, even though that is very much not the structure of the page. Could anyone look at what's going on here?

== Unable to add Z29591 ==
I'm trying to create Q2409 with Z29591 but it doesn't show up. I use &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; before each function. [[User:VidanaliK|VidanaliK]] ([[User talk:VidanaliK|talk]]) 00:37, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
: {{reply to|VidanaliK}} [[f:Z29591|Z29591]] has an output type of [[f:Z11|monolingual text]], so string to HTML fragment won't work. I personally recommend you use [[f:Z33068|paragraph from sentences]] (available in the drop-down), which handles this distinction for you without needing to use a function each time and handles spacing between sentences. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:03, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] As in, paragraph from sentences instead of string to HTML fragment? [[User:VidanaliK|VidanaliK]] ([[User talk:VidanaliK|talk]]) 02:21, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
::: Yes. When you select it there will be a list input. Click plus to add a sentence, then either click the three dots, then &quot;function call&quot;, or type in &quot;function call&quot; and click enter. Then type in whatever function you want, it should accept anything. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:31, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

== [[AW:]] and [[AWT:]] pseudonamespaces ==

Requesting [[mw:pseudo-namespace|pseudo-]] or [[mw:manual:using custom namespaces|custom]] namespaces to be used for shortcut redirects for project and talk pages.

Right now you have to use the full [[Abstract Wikipedia:foo]] or [[Abstract Wikipedia talk:bar]] syntax for links to get to the right place (which is to say, somewhere not in mainspace a.k.a. abstractspace). Piped links can make it look shorter in the meantime while actually being longer. [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|talk]]) 01:02, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

My name is Henk, from [[Q55|the Netherlands]] ([[:nl:Gebruiker:HenkvD]]).

I am interested in Abstract Wikipedia functionality and have general knowledge of the Dutch language (as native speaker). As most other Dutch persons I have good knowledge of English and some of German and a bit of French and Romance languages.&lt;br&gt;
I have an IT background, and try to understand the programming in Wikifunctions.&lt;br&gt;
I am contributing on language functions at Wikifunctions including Infoboxes, are active on Abstract Wikipedia, and a bit on Wikidata, including lexemes. I am active on other Wikimedia projects, mostly on Commons.

In my opinion the initial goal is to have Abstract Wikipedia pages with simple lead section (like stubs), an infobox fully from Wikidata, one or more images and maybe some simple lists. The simple lead sentences should function for as many languages as possible. That will also need that many languages will have labels in Wikidata and lexemes with genders. That will be a difficult enough to achieve.

In my opinion extensive prose will be very hard to achieve.

&lt;span id=&quot;What_is_Abstract_Wikipedia?&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Abstract Wikipedia ni nini? ==

Abstract Wikipedia ni mradi mpya ndugu wa Wikipedia.

Maono ya Wikipedia ni ulimwengu ambao kila mtu ana ufikiaji wa jumla ya maarifa yote. Abstract Wikipedia itasaidia jumuiya ya wanaojitolea kuchangia Wikipedia na miradi inayohusiana nayo kuziba mapengo ya maarifa kwa ufanisi zaidi.

Wikipedia ina makala kuhusu zaidi ya mada milioni 20 katika lugha zaidi ya 300. Lakini hakuna hata moja ya lugha hizi inayoweza peke yake kutoa ufikiaji wa maarifa kuhusu mada hizi zote milioni 20: Kiingereza kina zaidi ya makala milioni saba, Kikroeshia kina 230,000, na Kiswahili kina 100,000. Isipokuwa kama unazungumza lugha hizo, maarifa hayo hayapatikani kwa urahisi kwako. Na ingawa tafsiri za mashine zimeboreshwa sana kutokana na maendeleo ya hivi karibuni katika AI, bado hazijafikia kiwango cha kutoa tafsiri unazoweza kuziamini kwa jozi nyingi za lugha.

Abstract Wikipedia hufanya hivyo bila kutegemea AI. Kila hatua hubaki chini ya udhibiti wa binadamu, na inapatikana na inaweza kuhaririwa na wachangiaji wa kujitolea. Hakuna mauzauza, wala makosa yasiyoeleweka au yasiyoweza kurekebishwa: Ikiwa kuna kosa lolote, kulirekebisha ni hatua moja tu, na kuna uwazi kamili kuhusu jinsi maandishi yalivyoundwa. Si tu modeli ya uwezekano inayochagua mji mkuu wa Kenya kwa kubahatisha kila mara. Ni maarifa yaliyopangwa na kusimamiwa na binadamu.

&lt;span id=&quot;How_does_Abstract_Wikipedia_work?&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Abstract Wikipedia inafanyaje kazi?==

Makala katika Abstract Wikipedia zinahifadhiwa katika mfumo ambao hautegemei lugha za binadamu. Kiolesura cha Abstract Wikipedia kinawaruhusu wachangiaji wa kujitolea kuunda na kusimamia mfumo huo usiotegemea lugha. Katika hatua ya pili, mfumo huo unabadilishwa kuwa maandishi ya lugha ya binadamu. Hatua zinazohitajika ili kufanikisha hili pia zinaundwa na kusimamiwa na jumuiya ya wajitoleaji kupitia Wikifunctions. Hatua hizi zinaweza kutumia data zilizopo kwenye Wikidata, kama vile kutafuta idadi ya watu, tarehe za kuzaliwa, au miundo ya kisarufi isiyo ya kawaida, ambayo imeongezwa na inasimamiwa kwenye Wikidata na jumuiya za wajitoleaji.

Tazama [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] kwa mwongozo wa hatua kwa hatua.

Hebu tufuate mfano mmoja: [[Q1033|Nigeria ndiyo nchi yenye watu wengi zaidi barani Afrika.]] Katika Abstract Wikipedia, hili linaweza kuhifadhiwa kama:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

Au, kama tutatumia lebo za Kiingereza kwa vitambulishi hivi:

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

Hii ni wito (call) wa kazi (function) kwenye Wikifunctions. Kulingana na lugha, kazi nyingine inaitwa. Kwa Kiingereza, tunapata wito ufuatao wa kazi:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

Na hilo husababisha kupata maandishi ya Kiingereza yafuatayo:

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

Kama tungelichagua Kijerumani, kazi nyingine ingetumika (kuitwa):

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

Na hilo kwa upande wake lingetoa maandishi yafuatayo ya Kijerumani:

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

Mfano wenye lugha zaidi unaweza kupatikana hapa.&lt;!-- wapi?? --&gt;

Abstract Wikipedia huwaleta pamoja jamii nyingi kutoka Harakati ya Wikimedia na huwawezesha kufanya kazi kwa pamoja. Data ya msingi ya msamiati na data iliyopangwa kuhusu mada nyingi kutoka Wikidata, kazi (functions) zinazobeba hesabu na michakato muhimu kutoka Wikifunctions, pamoja na picha na ramani kutoka Wikimedia Commons, vyote hivi huunganishwa katika Abstract Wikipedia na kuwekwa wazi kwa ajili ya matoleo zaidi ya 300 ya lugha za Wikipedia.

Lengo la Abstract Wikipedia ni kufanya maarifa zaidi yapatikane kwa watu zaidi katika lugha zaidi, na kuwawezesha wahariri wa kujitolea kuwa na ufanisi zaidi na kufanya kazi katika lugha tofauti, bila kujali lugha wanazozungumza. Maboresho ya maarifa yataenezwa moja kwa moja hadi Wikipedia zote, makosa yataonekana haraka zaidi na kurekebishwa kwa ufanisi zaidi, na ushirikiano kati ya lugha tofauti utawezekana. Tunavunja vizuizi vya lugha vinavyotenganisha maarifa.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==What is Abstract Wikipedia?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia is a new sister project of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge. Abstract Wikipedia will help the communities of volunteers contributing to Wikipedia and its related projects to more effectively close knowledge gaps.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia has articles about more than 20 million topics in more than 300 languages. But none of these languages alone allow access to the knowledge about these 20 million topics: English has more than seven million articles, Croatian 230,000, and Swahili 100,000. Unless you speak those languages, that knowledge is not easily available to you. And as much as machine translation has improved thanks to recent improvements in AI, it is still not at the point where it can produce translations you can trust for many language pairs.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia does that without relying on AI. Each step of the way remains under human control, and is accessible and editable by the volunteers. There are no hallucinations, no inexplicable and unfixable mistakes. If anything is wrong, the problem can be traced and dealt with, and there is full transparency about how the text has been created. Sourcing and provenance can be preserved and interrogated. It is not just a probabilistic model choosing the capital of Kenya per chance every time. It is human-curated and owned knowledge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[D:|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
See [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[Q1033|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/div&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Or, if we use English labels for these identifiers:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that results in the English text&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.
&lt;/div&gt;

Abstract Wikipediya ni pulojekiti yiphya ya mudumbu wa Wikipediya.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge. Abstract Wikipedia will help the communities of volunteers contributing to Wikipedia and its related projects to more effectively close knowledge gaps.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia has articles about more than 20 million topics in more than 300 languages. But none of these languages alone allow access to the knowledge about these 20 million topics: English has more than seven million articles, Croatian 230,000, and Swahili 100,000. Unless you speak those languages, that knowledge is not easily available to you. And as much as machine translation has improved thanks to recent improvements in AI, it is still not at the point where it can produce translations you can trust for many language pairs.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia does that without relying on AI. Each step of the way remains under human control, and is accessible and editable by the volunteers. There are no hallucinations, no inexplicable and unfixable mistakes. If anything is wrong, the problem can be traced and dealt with, and there is full transparency about how the text has been created. Sourcing and provenance can be preserved and interrogated. It is not just a probabilistic model choosing the capital of Kenya per chance every time. It is human-curated and owned knowledge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[D:|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
See [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[Q1033|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/div&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Or, if we use English labels for these identifiers:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that results in the English text&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.

==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[D:|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
See [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[Q1033|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/div&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Or, if we use English labels for these identifiers:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that results in the English text&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Or, if we use English labels for these identifiers:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that results in the English text&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.

Wikipediya yili na nkhani zakukhwaskana na mitu yakujumpha 20 miliyoni mu viyowoyero vyakujumpha 300. Kweni palije chiyowoyero chilichose pa viyowoyero ivi pera icho chikuzomerezga kuti munthu waŵe na chimanyisko pa mitu 20 miliyoni iyi: ChiNgelezi chili na nkhani zakujumpha 7 miliyoni, ChiCroatia 230,000, ndipo ChiSwahili 100,000. Kupaturapo para mukuyowoya viyowoyero ivi, chimanyisko ichi chikusangika mwaluŵiro yayi kwa imwe.

Nkhani izo zili mu Abstract Wikipediya zikusungika mu mazgu ghambura kukhwaskana na viyowoyero vya ŵanthu.

Panji, usange tikugwiriskira nchito vimanyikwiro vya ChiNgelezi pa vimanyikwiro ivi:

Ichi nchiyitaniro ku ntchito pa Wikifunctions. Kulingana na chiyowoyero, ntchito yinyake yikuchemeka. Pa ChiNgelezi, tikupokera foni yakulondezgapo:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible.

&lt;span id=&quot;What_is_Abstract_Wikipedia?&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Kasi Abstract Wikipediya ni vichi?==

Abstract Wikipediya ni pulojekiti yiphya ya mudumbu wa Wikipediya.

Mboniwoni ya Wikipediya ni charu icho waliyose wangasanga chiŵelengero cha chimanyisko chose. Abstract Wikipediya yizamuwovwira mitundu ya ŵanthu ŵakujipeleka awo ŵakupeleka ku Wikipedia na mapulojekiti ghake ghakukhwaskana nayo kuti ŵajale makora mipata ya chimanyisko.

Wikipediya yili na nkhani zakukhwaskana na mitu yakujumpha 20 miliyoni mu viyowoyero vyakujumpha 300. Kweni palije chiyowoyero chilichose pa viyowoyero ivi pera icho chikuzomerezga kuti munthu waŵe na chimanyisko pa mitu 20 miliyoni iyi: ChiNgelezi chili na nkhani zakujumpha 7 miliyoni, ChiCroatia 230,000, ndipo ChiSwahili 100,000. Kupaturapo para mukuyowoya viyowoyero ivi, chimanyisko ichi chikusangika mwaluŵiro yayi kwa imwe. Ndipo nga umo kung’anamura kwa makina kwasinthira cifukwa ca kusintha kwasonosono apa kwa AI, kucali pa msinkhu uwo kungapangira kung’anamura uko mungagomezga ku viyowoyero vinandi viŵiri.

Abstract Wikipediya yikuchita nthena kwambura kugomezga AI. Sitepe yiliyose ya nthowa iyi yikukhala pasi pa mulaŵiliri wa ŵanthu, ndipo yikusangika na kusintha na ŵantu ŵakujipeleka. Palije vithuzithuzi vyakuwoneka, palije viheni ivyo vingalongosoreka yayi ndiposo ivyo vingakonzgeka yayi. Usange pali chinthu chinyake icho chabudika, suzgo lingamanyikwa na kumazgika, ndipo pali kumanyikwa kose pa umo lemba likapangikira. Kufumira na uko vikufuma vingasungika na kufumbisiska. Ni chiyelezgero cha probabilistic pera yayi kusankha msumba ukuru wa Kenya pa mwaŵi nyengo yiliyose. Ni chimanyisko icho ŵanthu ŵakuchiŵika ndiposo icho ŵali nacho.

&lt;span id=&quot;How_does_Abstract_Wikipedia_work?&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Kasi Abstract Wikipediya yikugwira wuli ntchito?==

Nkhani izo zili mu Abstract Wikipediya zikusungika mu mazgu ghambura kukhwaskana na viyowoyero vya ŵanthu. Mawonekero gha Abstract Wikipediya ghakuzomerezga awo ŵakujipeleka kuti ŵapange na kusunga chiyowoyero icho chikulembeka mwakujiyimira paŵekha. Mu chigaŵa chachiŵiri, chimanyikwiro ichi chikusinthika kuŵa malembo mu chiyowoyero cha ŵanthu. Nthowa izo zikukhumbikwa kuti ivi vichitike zikupangikaso na kusungika na gulu la ŵanthu ŵakujipeleka, pa Wikifunctions. Nthowa izi zingagwiliskira ntchito data pa [[D:|Wikidata]], kupenja nambala ya ŵanthu, mazuŵa ghakubabikira, panji mitundu ya grammar yambura kukhazikika, iyo yasazgikirapo ndipo yikusungika pa Wikidata na mitundu ya ŵanthu ŵakujipeleka.

Wonani [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] kuti muwone ndondomeko na ndondomeko.

Tiyeni tilondezge chiyelezgero chimoza: [[Q1033|Nigeria ndiyo yili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene mu Afilika.]] Mu Abstract Wikipediya, ivi vingasungika nga ni:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

Panji, usange tikugwiriskira nchito vimanyikwiro vya ChiNgelezi pa vimanyikwiro ivi:

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

Ichi nchiyitaniro ku ntchito pa Wikifunctions. Kulingana na chiyowoyero, ntchito yinyake yikuchemeka. Pa ChiNgelezi, tikupokera foni yakulondezgapo:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

Ndipo ivi vikupangiska kuti paŵe lemba la ChiNgelezi ilo:

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

Tiŵenge kuti tasankha ChiJeremani, ntchito yinyake yingachemeka kuti:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

Ndipo ichi cingapangiska kuti paŵe lemba la ChiJeremani ilo likulondezgapo:

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

Chiyelezgero na viyowoyero vinandi chingasangika apa.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;

Abstract Wikipediya yikuwunganya pamoza mitundu yinandi kufuma ku Wikimidiya Movement ndipo yikuŵazomerezga kuti ŵagwirenge ntchito pamoza. Data ya lexical yakwamba na data yakupangika pa mitu yinandi kufuma ku Wikidata, milimo iyo yikukora makompyuta ghakukhumbikwa kufuma ku Wikifunctions, na vithuzithuzi na mapu kufuma ku Wikimedia Commons vyose vikukolerana pamoza mu Abstract Wikipediya ndipo vikusangika mu viyowoyero vyakujumpha 300 vya Wikipediya.

Chilato cha Abstract Wikipediya nkhupangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵamanye vinandi mu viyowoyero vinandi, na kuzomerezga ŵakozgi ŵakujipeleka kuti ŵaŵe ŵakunozga na kugwira ntchito mu viyowoyero vyose, kwali ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero wuli.

Tikuphwanya vipingo vya chiyowoyero ivyo vikusunga chimanyisko patali.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==What is Abstract Wikipedia?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia is a new sister project of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge. Abstract Wikipedia will help the communities of volunteers contributing to Wikipedia and its related projects to more effectively close knowledge gaps.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia has articles about more than 20 million topics in more than 300 languages. But none of these languages alone allow access to the knowledge about these 20 million topics: English has more than seven million articles, Croatian 230,000, and Swahili 100,000. Unless you speak those languages, that knowledge is not easily available to you. And as much as machine translation has improved thanks to recent improvements in AI, it is still not at the point where it can produce translations you can trust for many language pairs.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia does that without relying on AI. Each step of the way remains under human control, and is accessible and editable by the volunteers. There are no hallucinations, no inexplicable and unfixable mistakes. If anything is wrong, the problem can be traced and dealt with, and there is full transparency about how the text has been created. Sourcing and provenance can be preserved and interrogated. It is not just a probabilistic model choosing the capital of Kenya per chance every time. It is human-curated and owned knowledge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[D:|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
See [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[Q1033|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/div&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

Ko kuma, idan muka yi amfani da lakabin Turanci ga waɗannan alamomin ganewa:

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that results in the English text&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;If we had chosen German, another function would be called:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia brings together numerous communities from the Wikimedia Movement and allows them to work together. Basic lexical data and structured data about many topics from Wikidata, functions that capture the necessary computations from Wikifunctions, and images and maps from Wikimedia Commons are all tied together in Abstract Wikipedia and made available for the more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to make more knowledge available to more people in more languages, and to allow volunteer editors to be more effective and work across languages, no matter what language they speak. Improvements to the knowledge will automatically propagate to the Wikipedias, errors will be spotted faster and fixed more effectively, and collaborations across languages become possible. We are tearing down the language barriers which are keeping knowledge apart.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==What is Abstract Wikipedia?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia is a new sister project of Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge. Abstract Wikipedia will help the communities of volunteers contributing to Wikipedia and its related projects to more effectively close knowledge gaps.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Wikipedia has articles about more than 20 million topics in more than 300 languages. But none of these languages alone allow access to the knowledge about these 20 million topics: English has more than seven million articles, Croatian 230,000, and Swahili 100,000. Unless you speak those languages, that knowledge is not easily available to you. And as much as machine translation has improved thanks to recent improvements in AI, it is still not at the point where it can produce translations you can trust for many language pairs.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Abstract Wikipedia does that without relying on AI. Each step of the way remains under human control, and is accessible and editable by the volunteers. There are no hallucinations, no inexplicable and unfixable mistakes. If anything is wrong, the problem can be traced and dealt with, and there is full transparency about how the text has been created. Sourcing and provenance can be preserved and interrogated. It is not just a probabilistic model choosing the capital of Kenya per chance every time. It is human-curated and owned knowledge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
==How does Abstract Wikipedia work?==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Articles in Abstract Wikipedia are stored in a notation independent of human languages. The interface of Abstract Wikipedia allows volunteer contributors to create and maintain that language-independent notation. In a second step, this notation is being turned into text in human language. The steps required to make this happen are also created and maintained by a community of volunteers, on Wikifunctions. These steps can use the data on [[D:|Wikidata]], looking up population numbers, dates of birth, or irregular grammatical forms, which have been added to and are maintained on Wikidata by communities of volunteers.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
See [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:How to create an article|Help:How to create an article]] for a step-by-step guide.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Let's follow one example: [[Q1033|Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.]] In Abstract Wikipedia, this might be stored as:
&lt;/div&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], Z27243K5)}}

Ko kuma, idan muka yi amfani da lakabin Turanci ga waɗannan alamomin ganewa:

{{block indent|1=superlative(Nigeria, populous, country, Africa, language)}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This is a call to a function on Wikifunctions. Based on the language, another function is being called. For English, we get the following function call:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1002|Z1002]])}}

Kuma hakan yana haifar da rubutun na Turanci

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.&quot;''}}

Da mun zaɓi Jamusanci, da an kira wani aiki na daban:

{{block indent|1=[[f:Z27243|Z27243]]([[d:Q1033|Q1033]], [[d:Q138758272|Q138758272]], [[d:Q6256|Q6256]], [[d:Q15|Q15]], [[f:Z1430|Z1430]])}}

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;And that in turn would result in the following German text:&lt;/span&gt;

{{block indent|1=''&quot;Nigeria ist das bevölkerungsreichste Land Afrikas.&quot;''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
An example with more languages can be found here.&lt;!-- where?? --&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In Abstract Wikipedia you can only create articles about topics that already have a Wikidata item. If the topic does not already exist on Wikidata that you can tell by [[d:special:search|search]], follow [[d:Special:MyLanguage/help:items#Creating a new item|this help page]] to make a new item for it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
This help page describes two methods to create a new article
&lt;/div&gt;
# &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create an article by copy and paste&lt;/span&gt;
# &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create an article from scratch&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== This is far too complicated! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes, agreed.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
There are two ways to make this easier:
&lt;/div&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== This is far too complicated! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes, agreed.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
There are two ways to make this easier:
&lt;/div&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In Abstract Wikipedia you can only create articles about topics that already have a Wikidata item. If the topic does not already exist on Wikidata that you can tell by [[d:special:search|search]], follow [[d:Special:MyLanguage/help:items#Creating a new item|this help page]] to make a new item for it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
This help page describes two methods to create a new article

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In Abstract Wikipedia you can only create articles about topics that already have a Wikidata item. If the topic does not already exist on Wikidata that you can tell by [[d:special:search|search]], follow [[d:Special:MyLanguage/help:items#Creating a new item|this help page]] to make a new item for it.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== This is far too complicated! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes, agreed.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
There are two ways to make this easier:
&lt;/div&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== This is far too complicated! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes, agreed.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
There are two ways to make this easier:
&lt;/div&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.

Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;.

In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Steps_to_create_an_article_from_scratch&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Nthowa zakupangira nkhani kufuma pakwamba ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Steps_to_create_an_article_from_scratch&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Nthowa zakupangira nkhani kufuma pakwamba ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-5.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Function selector open&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select a function. It has to be a function that exists on Wikifunctions, and at this point, it has to return an HTML fragment. In this example we choose the function &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot;, as this allows us to enter a string, or choose a function that creates a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-7.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selected the &quot;string to HTML fragment&quot; function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We have now selected a function. We get fields for the arguments. Instead of typing a string, we want to add another function.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-8.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Change the mode of the argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In order to do so, we change the mode of the argument named string by clicking on the three dots next to string. This allows us to change from the current mode, literal, to a function call.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-9.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the inner function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Here we can now select a function that returns a string.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Choose a function returning a string&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the function &quot;Article-less instantiating fragment&quot; -- a function that creates sentences such as &quot;Paris is a city.&quot; Note that selecting the function “Article-less instantiating HTML fragment” would have allowed us to skip using the function “string to HTML fragment”.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-10.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Arguments for article-less instantiating fragment function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Now we see the arguments for this function. We also get automatically fitting arguments filled in. This leads to the sentence &quot;Paris is a Paris.&quot;, because the arguments &quot;entity&quot; and &quot;class&quot; both get prefilled with the item we are writing about.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-11.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changing the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We need to change the mode on the &quot;class&quot; argument from the automatically filled value (an Argument reference) to a literal.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-12.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Changed the mode of &quot;class&quot; to literal.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In Abstract Wikipedia you can only create articles about topics that already have a Wikidata item. If the topic does not already exist on Wikidata that you can tell by [[d:special:search|search]], follow [[d:Special:MyLanguage/help:items#Creating a new item|this help page]] to make a new item for it.
&lt;/div&gt;

# &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create an article from scratch&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article by copy and paste ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
First, find an existing Abstract Wikipedia article similar to the one you wish to create. You can use this by using the search tool and clicking on an item with &quot;- AW&quot; next to it. Once found, click on &quot;Edit source&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt; 
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 01.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Start&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon, then select &quot;Copy to clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 02.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Copy to clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Search for the topic that you wish to create an article on.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 03.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Create new article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will take you to the &quot;Create a New Abstract Article&quot; page. Click the plus (&quot;+&quot;) button and select &quot;Add empty fragment&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 04.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Add empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the three-dot menu icon within the new fragment, then select &quot;Paste from clipboard&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 05.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select the copied fragment from the top row.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 06.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Paste from clipboard&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function's details by clicking on the chevron (&quot;&gt;&quot;) icons.&lt;/span&gt;[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 07.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Expand the function(s)&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update the arguments to reflect your topic. As pictured, change the entity and location to &quot;Utrecht&quot; and &quot;Netherlands&quot;. The preview will now display the updated text in the language you select (e.g., &quot;Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands&quot;). Do not click &quot;Publish&quot; just yet.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 08.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Update arguments&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;It is highly recommended to check the preview in other languages, to ensure the abstract translates correctly. Once reviewed, click &quot;Publish&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
[[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 09.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Check other language&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Complete the process by entering a brief edit summary describing your changes, and click &quot;Publish&quot; once more.&lt;/span&gt; [[File:AW Help Copy Paste step 10.png|center|frameless|400px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Publish&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The first version of your article is now live. You can click &quot;Edit&quot; at any time to add more information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Steps to create an article from scratch ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In order to create an article from scratch, you can go to [[Special:CreateAbstract|Create a New Abstract Article]].
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:aw-tutorial-step-1.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Select a topic&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Type to select a topic, and click on create.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-2.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Empty abstract article&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;You will get to a new screen. On the right hand side you see the preview in the selected language, on the left hand side the abstract content.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-3.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus sign to add a fragment.&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Click on the plus button in the left panel to add a new fragment. For now, we are adding an empty fragment.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-4.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;An empty fragment&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This will look like this, showing a function call without a function selected yet. We click on the caron next to the red &quot;Select Function&quot; text.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;That will open the function selector.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-6.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting a function&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;This gives us now a field to select a Wikidata item for the value of the &quot;class&quot; argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-13.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Selecting city for the class argument&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We select the &quot;city&quot; item for the class argument.&lt;/span&gt;

[[File:aw-tutorial-step-14.png|center|frameless|800px|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The first sentence is created.&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Once this is selected, the first sentence of the article should be ready. We can now click on publish and have a first version of the article available. Now you can click edit to add more.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== This is far too complicated! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes, agreed.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
There are two ways to make this easier:
&lt;/div&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the UX&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;improve the catalogue of functions&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Whereas the development team at the Wikimedia Foundation will be focused on the first approach (and will always appreciate UX ideas), the community can work on a more comprehensive and easy to use catalogue of functions in Wikifunctions. Here we see that naming the functions and arguments is important, and that we probably want to avoid too many functions which turn one type in another in the above flow.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
But yes, most importantly, Abstract Wikipedia is currently in an early public Beta, and it is currently difficult to create and edit articles. We all will need to work together to improve that. If you have ideas for new functions, please suggest them at [[Abstract Wikipedia:Suggested functions|Suggested functions]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
