== Draft inactivity policy ==

I created [[Wikiversity:Inactivity policy]] as a start. Any experienced Wikiversity user may feel free to expand it. This is also one-to-two step(s) towards opting out of the [[m:Admin activity review|AAR process]].

However, I made a bold change to reduce the response timeframe from one month to two weeks. In addition, should we reduce the inactivity timeframe to one year? For the latter, most projects use that timeframe and I suggested this for consistency. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 15:57, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

:I support those suggestions. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:55, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
: Juandev has posted some comments on the [[Wikiversity talk:Inactivity policy|talk page]]. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 16:30, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
: Thanks for creating this draft. I've made some changes (including moving back to a one month response timeframe) and moved it from draft to proposed policy.
: Based on the discussion on the talk page, I think it is close to ready (or ready) to be formally proposed as a policy (by adding it to the sitenotice) to allow wider discussion and hopefully adoption. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]&lt;/small&gt; 06:45, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

== Proposed user group and/or possible policy changes ==

{{tracked|T430416|fixed}}
I want to discuss about user group and possible policy changes.

# First, interface administrators. I don't think we should allow interface administrators to remove their permission from their own account, since we have multiple active bureaucrats and we can ask them to remove the permission when done, or for them to add a temporary grant. This is according to the [[Wikiversity:IA|current IA policy]]. I also left [[Wikiversity talk:Interface administrators#My thoughts about this user group|my thoughts on the relevant talk page]].
# Second, curators. Given that curators have some sensitive custodian rights (such as &lt;code&gt;delete&lt;/code&gt; [but not &lt;code&gt;undelete&lt;/code&gt; or similar rights that allow viewing deleted content, unless the curatorship process is RFA-like] and &lt;code&gt;protect&lt;/code&gt;), it would probably make more sense only for bureaucrats to grant and remove it, on par with them granting (but not removing) custodian permissions.
# Third, about probationary custodians. [[Wikiversity:Probationary custodians]] is currently marked as historical, and the process might still exist on [[Wikiversity:Custodianship]]. Therefore, to maintain consistency with [[Wikiversity:Curatorship#How does one become a curator?]], I propose that we repeal the probationary custodianship process and change it more or less to align with the curatorship process, effectively making probationary custodians permanent ones. However, custodian mentors would still be retained.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 17:55, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

:#Yes, I agree.
:#Thats a good point, but I dont know. At least I dont think its a good idea that both groups i.e. crats and custodiants can do that, it may create chaos.
:#Another good point. It seems to me that the current situation is somewhat unclear and should be clarified. I understand the original status of [[Wikiversity:Probationary custodians|Probationary custodians]] as a historicall and invalid, but at the same time I consider myself a probationary custodian, because on the Wikiversity:Custodianship page in the ''[[Wikiversity:Custodianship#How does one become a custodian?|How does one become a custodian?]]'' section it says, I quote, ''&quot;II ...then you will be approved as a probationary custodian for a period of at least four weeks&quot;''.
:::Mentors should definitely be kept, but for certain applicants the probation and mentorship should be abolished. For example, if someone was an active custodian for 5 years, then loses their rights or gives them up for a year and then wants to resume their custodial activities, there is no reason for them to undergo a training period. It burdens both the mentors and the community with double voting. The only exception could be a situation where policies or tools for custodians change significantly during that year, or the candidate wants to.

== Towards an Ethics policy ==

In connection with the [[Wikiversity:Community Review/Removal of Wikidebates|discussion of Wikidebates]], I said that it would be good to establish a policy on ethics, or rather a boundary between ethical and unethical content, so that we don't have to discuss individual cases. In addition, today we also have some global policies that prohibit, for example, attacks on members of the Wikimedia movement or undermining other projects.

However, at the very beginning, I would start by collecting your opinions. What content or what research should not be allowed on Wikiversity? [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 05:52, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

:One ethical issue that I think should be non-controversial is related to good faith in the learning modules. So, learning materials should not be hoaxes or encourage behavior or methods that don't work or that misrepresent the facts or the likelihood of something occurring, etc. and authors should also not plagiarize or misrepresent authorship, etc. That was quite a run-on, but I hope that others can tease out what I mean here. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 07:39, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
::I look at it from a practical perspective. We can give that to the policy, but I see the problem in that we are not able to check it except plagiarism.
::Plagiarism can be partially detected during patrolling. I see a new text, I put part of it in Google and I check if it is copied from the web. It is a problem with copying from books or other offline sources, but sometimes it happens that someone finds out that something is copied from somewhere and it can be deleted.
::The biggest issue we have here is that we are missing Wikipedia's control mechanism: references. Only some types of resources on Wikiversity require references. In-line references are not often used in courses, exercises, lectures, etc. We are thus deprived of one of the excellent control mechanisms and the only option is for the increase in the number of members with various qualifications to check it for their colleagues. [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 07:59, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Having a policy and enforcing that policy are indeed two different things. If we are only concerned with issues that we can definitively enforce, then that will definitely change this conversation. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 08:06, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

== New nomination template(s) ==

I created {{tlx|Nomination}} when someone requests curator or custodian permissions, which often at least require mentorship. On the other hand, I might create {{tlx|Nomination 2}}, in which the latter does not have a section about mentorship (often used for bureaucrat or interface administrator nominations).

== Preparing manuscript for submission to the ''WikiJournal of Humanities'' ==

I am working on preparing an article in Wikipedia for a dual goal of submitting it for a featured article candidacy in Wikipedia and submitting it to the ''[[WikiJournal of Humanities]]''.  I have an open request for pre-submission peer review at [[en:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Peer review/Rei Ayanami/archive2|Wikipedia:Peer review/Rei Ayanami/archive2]], and I am asking for someone experienced with submitting journals to WikiJournals.  The article is not ready for submission, and I would like to know where I can get assistance from users who submitted articles to the journal, but did not necessarily review them.  Furthermore, I said there that submitting to the ''WikiJournal of Humanities'' depends on whether the article attains featured article status in Wikipedia, as I would like to use the featured article as a manuscript for a journal article.

I could probably save many kilobytes by compressing my LLM chat history. Would that be ok?

:{{replyto|ThinkingScience}} I do not see why not. People should be able to look in your page's history for LLM chats before your compression. [[User:Z. Patterson|Z. Patterson]] ([[User talk:Z. Patterson|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Z. Patterson|contribs]]) 02:34, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
::That's good. Then an admin if they have been instructed to compress...then they can delete the edit history perhaps and save space, then it's up to the admin and I don't need to worry about taking up too many resources.

:::{{replyto|ThinkingScience}} Deleting does not save space. Every edit is retained. When edit history is deleted, it is just hidden from regular viewing.

== Improved access to courses via the new main page. ==

;Does it work?

:How and when will we know the increased user access to lessons as a result of the new main page? 

;Show me the numbers

:Are there comparative stats of the most popular course page accessed before and after the new main page for Wikiversity was installed?  [[User:Robert Elliott|Robert Elliott]] 01:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Robert. Statistics for WV is a difficult thing. I've tried to get numbers from various sources in the past, but the scripts which extract the numbers from the database don't seem to work all that well. One thing I keep my eye on every now and again is http://www.alexa.org, although for smaller sites the reliability of Alexa is lower. An increased usage of Wikiversity will need more than just a snazzy main page - it will need a much more helpful infrastructure around the main page as well, such as loads of new and more helpful portals, tutorials, [[Help:Guides|guides]] - i.e. a lot of things that are on the agenda but which I personally really haven't had time for yet.--[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 04:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
* More about Alexa: Wikiversity is probably in the area where Alexa is &quot;slightly reliable&quot; (reliability increases with popularity), but short-term usage figures for Wikiversity are probably better explained by seasonal factors, such as the start and finish of university terms and public holidays (plus other external factors, such as prominence of links from Wikipedia). Things like a main page redesign, infrastructure overhaul or usability aids are more likely to have a long-term effect than a short-term one, so looking for a statistics jump at some point would probably be a mistake. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 04:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
== [[Wikiversity]] ==

How could we improve this page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]]&lt;/small&gt; 15:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

: Yes. I ''suggest'': (1) redirect [[Wikiversity]] and [[Topic:Wikiversity]] to [[Portal:Wikiversity]]; (2) redesign the portal, ensuring that the content of the other two pages gets in there somewhere (e.g. by restructuring the category tree and reforming [[:Category:Wikiversity]]). [[Portal:Wikiversity]] should perhaps be a minor portal intended mainly for maintenance purposes - i.e. the place where the lid comes off Wikiversity and you can see inside its internal workings, especially the contents of the Wikiversity namespace. The user-friendly equivalents should be things like [[Help:contents]], the main page and introductions/portals for specific user types such as teachers and students. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 05:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:: At the top of [[Topic:Wikiversity]] it says (rather hopefully) &quot;Welcome to the content development project where learning resources about Wikiversity are planned, organized and developed.&quot;, which is the kind of concept which I think the original author actually intended for the School namespace (i.e. [[School:Wikiversity]]). However this is actually what we are doing at [[Wikiversity:Vision 2009]]. So I suggest getting rid of the sentence just quoted, creating [[School:Wikiversity]] and then redirecting it to the latest Wikiversity Vision project. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 05:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

::: McCormack, I looked at these pages and like these ideas; there is much to do, huh? I also wondered about possible redirection to [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity?]]. That at least seems to be the link that we're giving out e.g., in the [[w:Wikipedia Signpost|Wikipedia Signpost]] interview as the current first port of call other than the main page. Any thoughts about this? I am partly asking because I want to link both internally and externally to [[Wikiversity]] and I want that to go to a page which clearly explains WV. I also noticed that [[Wikiversity:About]] redirects to [[Wikiversity:FAQ]] and wasn't sure that it's a good redirect e.g., could we perhaps paste some content from the Signpost interview and develop this at [[Wikiversity]] and/or [[Wikiversity:About]]? Just some ideas, that's all. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]]&lt;/small&gt; 00:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

== High School Biology ==

I've created the learning project [[High School Biology]] and am looking for more people to help.  I am working on a Wikibook [[b:FHSST_Biology]] for the project and have developed a lesson (under Course in the project).  I'd appreciate feedback as I'm new and I want to make sure this is going in the right direction.  I'm also hoping to stir up a little interest in the project so others will contribute.  Thank you for taking interest.  Feel free to write here or on my wall.

Sincerely,

[[User:Wesley Gray|Wesley Gray]] 14:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

:: Very nicely done! I wasn't even aware WV offers such graphical options. But let me ask you this: Are you going to write down all biology necessary for high school students ? Everything is already written in text books, why rewrite it ? [[User:EugenSpierer|EugenSpierer]] 07:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't know of a free textbook online that people can read.  If there isn't one, then there needs to be.  This will allow people without the resources to get a specific textbook to learn biology.  The other problem is that not everyone has the same textbook.  Lesson summaries don't do much good if everyone is reading something different, and putting a whole lesson in (not just a summary) would be just as much work as writing a (concise) textbook.  If you do however, know of any free, (mostly) complete biology textbooks, please send me a link.  [[User:Wesley Gray|Wesley Gray]] 12:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

If we do this, we can focus on editing, and make a high-quality, accessible book.  Remember, this is a learning project for high school students (or those who want a basic introduction to biology), so a recommended text shouldn't be too advanced.  Thoughts?

== New welcome template proposal ==

I have made two little changes in the current {{tl|Welcome}} template, and now I want to suggest its' use as a default one to welcome new users (after renaming of course). &lt;br&gt; Advantages of {{tl|Welcome proposal}}: (1) No need for &quot;subst:&quot; any more (2) future changes in the welcome template will be visible also on talk pages of users welcomed earlier. --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 11:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC) &lt;br&gt;

:I've tried {{tl|Welcome proposal}} in preview, it seems fine but the only thing which I'm concerned about is where your name appears. Would it be possible to change your name on the template to &lt;nowiki&gt;~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt; so that users who uses the template will have there username appearing similar to the standard welcoming templates.

:Gbaor, First thing first, why do you want future changes in the welcome template be effective on the old welcomes?  One key reason for substitution is to fix the  content so that, for example, if people come back from a long wikibreak, they wouldn't be confused. [[User:Hillgentleman|Hillgentleman]]|[[User talk:hillgentleman|Talk]] 00:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I fixed the username thing, now it works like this&gt; ''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Welcome proposal|Gbaor}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;''. It is now more like the previous &quot;subst version&quot;. But it still has the advantage of &quot;future changes&quot;. &lt;br&gt; ''More about displaying future changes in the earlier welcomes:'' The welcome template is already changed, since I made this proposal. But on our talk pages there is the same-good-old-version. Also in the future there could be a major change which helps also to new ''and'' old users. Is there a more simple way to tell everybody (also to users, who don't visit colloquium regularly) about this change? I think it could help also to old users to orient them selfs in new features and possibilities on WV after a longer wikibreak.  --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 10:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:Wait.  The time stamp on [[template:welcome proposal]] is wrong.  The &lt;nowiki&gt;~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt; must be converted.
:Most communities I know, e.g. English wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia, Meta, etc, prefer substitution, but some people still prefer transclusion. People have discussed it before (see, e.g. [[w:WP:SUBST]]), and we may still discuss this.  One problem with transclusion is that, you would create a huge job queue for the server whenever you change the template (but that is developers' business, of course).  The other problem is that, if you look at the page history of the user talk page, you still only see the latest version of the template and not the archived version of the template.  And that would be misleading.  Or I may miss an old link which was removed in a revision of the welcome template.  Another point for substitution is that the transclusion mechanism &lt;nowiki&gt;{{welcome}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; hides the actual wikitext and doesn't help the newcomer hit the ground running.  Traditionally wikiversiters use substitution, but there are pros and cons for both.  Since it is problematic to use the same template to support substitution and transclusion, we may fork it into a subst version and a transcluded version, let everybody use the one she likes, and sync them from time to time - they need not be exactly the same after all - and each maintained by whoever uses it. [[User:Hillgentleman|Hillgentleman]]|[[User talk:hillgentleman|Talk]] 12:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:And to help old users come back from a long wikibreak, we may as well send a new welcome message.  That would feel warmer in the heart. [[User:Hillgentleman|Hillgentleman]]|[[User talk:hillgentleman|Talk]] 12:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Time stamp removed... As you said, there are pros and cons for both alternatives. It all makes sense, as well as my alternative (I hope :). But this is only a proposal, an option. It could be accepted or rejected, all depends on the will of the community. --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 14:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

: I believe [[:Category:Political science]] would be correct. I do not know if we have guidlines for it specifically, but we do have similar guidlines for article names. It seems categories could be looked at as special articles in the category namespace, and therefore, similar naming would be applied. And also, it is my understanding that on Wikipedia [[:Category:Political science]] would be correct. Additionally, keeping them lowercase makes it easier to automatically link to them using various magic words in templates and what not. --[[User:Remi|Remi]] 06:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

== A Short History of Nearly Everything ==

Anyone interested to read and discuss on chat, Bill Bryson's [[w:A Short History of Nearly Everything|A Short History of Nearly Everything]]. In this book Bryson describes the natural world around us and how scientists discovered the way this world came into being. It is about the universe, the planet earth and the evolution of life on earth. Bryson tried to reach a large crowd by using a lot of humour and by keeping the text relatively simple. Still, it is a good read also for intellectuals. 

I have studied history, so i am not an expert on the natural sciences, which is the main topic in this book. The title of the book says the word history, but it is the history of the natural world. Allthough, the history of scientific knowledge is being told, including the stories of how scientists came to this knowledge.

I propose to read a chapter for every discussion session. There is no need to read the entire text before a discussion. We can discuss the themes and people who didn't read the book can contribute. I will make a special article on this subject when there are enough participants.

You can add your name on the participants list:

I've noted over the past few months that [[User:Remi]] and [[User:Erkan_Yilmaz]] are often quite curious about Checkuser actions (and CU-related blocks), and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them the tool so they can see for themselves, as well as probably catching problematic accounts that JWS and I aren't catching (we're both a bit less active on RC patrol than we used to be). While we clearly don't need an entire platoon of Checkusers running around the place, both these users have a long history of doing good for the project, and being very patient even with those who are clearly seeking to try our collective patience. The CU tool gives us a powerful ability to both identify problem-causers, as well as allowing us to avoid &quot;collateral damage&quot; when blocking IPs (since it allows us to check an IP before giving a hard block). --[[User:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|'''SB_Johnny'''}}]] | &lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|talk}}]]&lt;/sup&gt; 12:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

This then essentially creates a lot of duplicate content. Then having have &quot;Random topic&quot; button in the sidebar only serves to show this off. Then also subpages have little context. For example some subpages only have a sentence and a couple of usernames (for the &quot;active participant&quot; sections).&quot; It was suggested that the random topic function could be made to not return subpages. I was hoping to build broader consensus on the issue. Does this seem reasonable/desirable? --[[User:Remi|Remi]] 19:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
:Hi! I also tried the &quot;random topic&quot; button with similar experience, your proposal makes sense. On the other side it is quite easy to identify minor subpages this way (for merge?). But the end users are generally not interested in maintance, so I support your proposal. --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 10:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
== Interwiki links across language sites ==

Can anyone help me with how to link across language sites, e.g., how can I make an internal link to  http://es.wikiversity.org/wiki/Usuario:Jtneill (and from that page, back to english WV)? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]]&lt;/small&gt; 14:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
:Just insert ''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[es:Usuario:Jtneill]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'' to your user page. The internal link will be on the left side. The same way like I did on my [[user:gbaor|user page]]. Otherwise the internal links should be ''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[:es:Usuario:Jtneill]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'' which works like this [[:es:Usuario:Jtneill]] or this [[:es:Usuario:Jtneill|Usuario:Jtneill]] --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 15:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

== Complete, Incomplete, Ready..? ==

{{complete}}
{{ready}}
{{incomplete}}
{{incomplete|text='''[[Help:Resources by completion status|Completion status]]''': This resource defies measures of completion.}}
{{complete|text='''[[Help:Resources by completion status|Completion status]]''': This resource is considered complete by its creator, but feel welcome to improve it!}}
{{useful by|9|10}}

I've been having a very interesting discussion with McCormack on IRC - but I wanted to bring it into wider discussion. It seems that these templates represent different paradigms of working. For example, if we label something as &quot;complete&quot; - are we saying that it should not be edited any more? How does this align with the wiki way? I've forked this template by creating a &quot;ready for use&quot; template, indicating an alternative way of seeing this. Both templates could exist side by side, or we could decide on a single wording that reflects the nature of the resource, and the way that we work. I've also added &quot;incomplete&quot; to this discussion, as this is a different paradigm again - in which the resource (and its knowledge) is seen as in a permanent state of becoming. But I'm interested in what others think about these templates, and how useful they can be. [[User:Cormaggio|Cormaggio]] &lt;sup&gt;&lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Cormaggio|talk]]&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; 10:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
* Please note that the templates have deliberately been constructed so that individual users can override the default wording in each of them and adapt them to their own educational philosophy. I've added some further examples. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 10:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
: I think templates that try to measure how incomplete or complete a page is are unhelpful and discourage contributions. I think it would be better to measure things like how useful a page is while encouraging people to either improve pages themselves or to leave constructive criticisms on the talk page for other people to use as a means of improving pages. --&lt;span style=&quot;font: bold 10pt 'courier new', comic, sans, ms;&quot;&gt;[[User:Darklama|{{font|color=midnightblue|dark}}]][[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]][[User_talk:Darklama|{{font|color=green|lama}}]]&lt;/span&gt; 13:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

: I do like &quot;ready to use&quot;. Perhaps in some circumstances &quot;complete&quot; may be appropriate. I cannot think creatively enough at this moment to think of any though. As for how neat or messy pages may be. If there is just some a small set of squiggly brackets in the markup page, it does not seem that that would contribute to too much disorganization. Using &quot;subst&quot; could risk a mess though. All the pages in the template namespace that use transclusions liberally that does seem to create a mess. So do all the pages that use a bunch of CSS and fancy formatting right on the page! Ah. --[[User:Remi|Remi]] 05:39, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

=== &lt;s&gt;&quot;Completely&quot; missing the point&lt;/s&gt; Refocussing on what's really going on here ===

&lt;s&gt;The pun is intended. Sorry. Couldn't resist.&lt;/s&gt; Anyway, I think some people are just ''looking'' at these templates and judging them by what they ''look'' like, which is, actually, missing the point. They can all be modified in individual cases with new wording and icons, so the appearance is actually rather irrelevant. So what's the '''point'''? Well, the point is this. (Actually, '''three points'''.) '''(1)''' A few days ago I managed to re-categorise about 1177 stub pages into about a dozen or so useful sub-categories ''in under 3 minutes''. How? Because those pages already had a template embedded in them, so I was able to ''retrospectively'' apply a complex parser function and introduce organisation where before there had been little or none. Of course, this was just beginner stuff, and the principle could be taken much further into the mysterious jungle of several thousand further &quot;lost&quot; resources on Wikiversity. The general principle is this: if a group of pages have an embedded template in them, then one can retrospectively apply useful things to them which help improve organisation. Project boxes are really just &quot;bait&quot; (as in fishing) - they are a way to encourage people to stick templates on their pages which can be useful now or later for hidden organisational functions. If you don't like them, don't use them and watch your learning resources disappear into the mist. '''(2)''' A few days ago, I asked myself a rather obvious question: how many complete/ready-to-use/usable learning resources are there on Wikiversity? I think [[User:OhanaUnited]] was asking something similar, and I'm sure that a lot of other wiki-projects, the Wikimedia Foundation, and 10's of 1000's of Wikiversity visitors, are also asking the same rather obvious question. So how many are there? Well, as a seasoned and very active Wikiversitarian, I think I could name 10 ready-to-use resources straight away and another 10 or so if I had some time to look around. Quite frankly, that's pathetic. Is the problem that we have some good resources but nobody knows where they are? Or is the problem that Wikiversity is the ultimate home of permanent incompletion, of interest only to anti-structuralist revivalists, where any &quot;complete&quot; or &quot;ready&quot; resource is deleted or side-lined in the name of political correctness? (Well, neither, quite). I think if people want to label their resources as &quot;ready&quot; (or whatever), they shouldn't be subjected to a ban on this, nor should they feel disapproved of. Equally, those who have dedicated themselves to permanent incompletion should be just as free to label themselves as such, or refuse all labelling - but please don't push your views onto others. This is a wiki, and new self-organisational structures should be allowed to emerge as the wiki grows. '''(3)''' Somewhere down the line, metadata sharing with partners is going to become reality, and I have quite a lot of experience with metadata sharing around the OER world. Wikiversity has so far pretty well ignored the rest of the OER world (and been ignored back in return). If we are going to engage, or make engagement possible, we have to start cataloguing what we've got and create metadata structures which allow sifting out resources which are worth reporting to outside projects for their directory listings. NB: Google may be enough for Wikipedia, but for something with the greater structural complexity of Wikiversity, we may need to think beyond Google. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 07:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

: Your first point won't make much difference with regard to these templates if nobody or only a few people wants to use them. As for point 2 and 3, there are other ways to organize content without referring to them as incomplete or complete. I don't have as much problem with a &quot;ready&quot; status if it doesn't imply being complete. The problems with incomplete or complete statuses is that readers might not want to read anything that might be marked as incomplete even if its at a stage where it could be a useful resource, and writers might avoid or be reluctant to improve, expand, or otherwise contribute to resources marked as complete even if there is room for expansion and improvements. I think in the long run incomplete and complete statuses will do a disservice to Wikiversity or any other wiki project that uses them.
: Wikinews uses several statuses which I think are more useful than incomplete and complete, which I think would be more useful here:
:* under development,
:* requests for comments and
:* ready for publishing,
: I think these are more useful and functional uses of statuses than incomplete and complete, and are closer to how the typical writing cycle works. A resource at any point in time can be under development, ready to receive feedback from learners and other people, and go back into a development phase again. This can easily repeat itself for some time, than get to the point where it could reasonably be ready to be republished outside of Wikiversity by schools or whatever, and than someone comes along finds a way to expand it or improve it some more sending it back into a development and review cycle. --&lt;span style=&quot;font: bold 10pt 'courier new', comic, sans, ms;&quot;&gt;[[User:Darklama|{{font|color=midnightblue|dark}}]][[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]][[User_talk:Darklama|{{font|color=green|lama}}]]&lt;/span&gt; 14:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

* I suggest this thread should continue at [[Help talk:Resources by completion status]]. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 15:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

::I'm going to reply (briefly) here. :-) Those statuses that wikinews use are ok, but they seem to reflect the way that a news resource works (i.e. happens and then 'dates' relatively quickly). I'd say that Wikiversity resources would have all three attributes to varying extents at the same time, which depends on the context in which they are to be used (for example, a very basic resource could easily be just what someone needs to turn it into a learning project). So, perhaps we need to describe what types of uses Wikiversity resources will have, and how their development can impact on these uses? This way, we'd have a clearer way to define what is appropriate for a wiki context (particularly a diverse one, such as WV - I never wanted to raise this discussion in the context of telling people what to do or not to do).

* &quot;Pathetic&quot;, no.  I have stared at the main wikiversity page and am minded that my edu-home has re-organised on the basis of student numbers with labels yet to be determined.  The categorisation process on the right of the screen has its benefits but I believe the star of the show which took me a while to stumble on, and appreciate, is that on the left of the screen - ie the film school.  Indeed like the Renoir, featured in the middle, the interest is not up front, indeed the two characters are not engaging, but it is the depth of field that the lilies behind create.  Teaching how to paint is far harder than seeking the Higgs Boson - currently the largest Learning by doing experiment - where being empathetic, one on one usually, is a serendipitous exploration.  So how do you catch attention, what tools can help students refocus from the bebo-lite culture we have gravitated towards. [[User:Paulmartin42|Paulmartin42]] 05:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

=== Promotion by an unusual way ===

Yesterday I thought quite a lot about possible ways of advertisement and promotion of WV in the world of Open educational resources . [[User:McCormack|McCormacks]] comment [[Wikiversity:Colloquium#&quot;Completely&quot; missing the point Refocussing on what's really going on here|above]] namely &quot;Wikiversity has so far pretty well ignored the rest of the OER world (and been ignored back in return)&quot; stuck in my head. Two more things came upon my mind: 1. a politician who stareted his live pre-election television debate naming the good things, which were done by his opponent during his premiership; 2. my own experience with specific sites, which I visit quite regularly, because of the interesting links I found there. &lt;br&gt; 
''So... My idea is this:'' Let's promote ourselves with promoting other OER resources. This may include heavy interlinking our pages with similar ones on other OERs or even (and this is the main part of my suggestion) on our main page similar to &quot;today's featured project&quot;. There is quite a lot free space under &quot;Community&quot; and &quot;Development&quot; for a &quot;selected OER resource&quot; which may circulate on daily/weekly basis.
''Pros and cons:'' One may argue, that we can loose readers, even participants this way, what is surely true. The possibility exists. On the other side we can assume (but not demand) that we get something similar in return from those OERs. Also it would be a bald and I think pleasant move from us towards cooperation between OERs (hopefully will be noticed also by bloggers and others). And the main advantage to the end of this entry: It is the best for the learners, people who came here to educate themselves. --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 06:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

== Minimal requirements ==

I want to ask, what are the minimal requrements to keep a page at VW for longer time. I am asking it, because there are numerous pages without [[:Category:Empty pages|any content]]. Shouldn't we delete them, if they are empty for some time (let's say 1-2 months)? In case of need, they can be ''very easily'' recreated. --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 10:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
* It's a radical idea and one for which I certainly have some sympathy, but it rather goes against the established way of doing things. Rather the opposite: the normal thing at WV seems to be to create or allow creation of any page with anything approaching a reasonable title, and hope that one day someone might expand it. However I think we should be focussing our limited manpower on finding well-developed resources in the haystack and promoting these and more like them, rather than deleting thousands of empty pages. See: [[Wikiversity:Featured]]. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 10:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::'''Deletion decisions''': there are suggested guidelines at [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy]]. I advocate the use [[Wikiversity:Welcome templates|welcome templates]] on empty pages. We can treat empty pages an an opportunity to educate Wikiversity visitors about how to edit and participate in the process of content creation. I think decisions about page deletion should be made on a page by page basis (is the page potentially useful? will the page just be created again if it is deleted now?), not on the basis of an arbitrary criterion like a time limit. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 14:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I also tend not to delete pages. I see it as a motivation factor for newcomers to build on something existing (even if it is not much). But one side effect can be that people could see this as &quot;blind alleys&quot; and get a negative opinion, see e.g. [http://dl1.yukoncollege.yk.ca/sylPLE/2008/03/08#a15 here] (search for &quot;blind alley&quot;). ----[[User:Erkan_Yilmaz|Erkan Yilmaz]] &lt;small&gt;uses the [[Wikiversity:Chat|Wikiversity:Chat]] ([http://java.freenode.net//index.php?channel=wikiversity-en try])&lt;/small&gt; 15:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree with all of you at some extent: &quot;focussing our limited manpower on finding well-developed resources&quot; ([[User:McCormack|McCormack]]); &quot;educate Wikiversity visitors about how to edit and participate&quot; &quot;page by page basis deletion decisions&quot; ([[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]]); &quot;for newcomers to build on something existing&quot; ([[User:Erkan_Yilmaz|Erkan Yilmaz]])&lt;br&gt; On the other hand the question is, what will be a reaction of people, who visit WV not to contribute but to read/learn something (our target group). In case they will search for [[birds]], [[etiquette]] or [[applied math basics]] (the latter has at least few links), they won't be pleased. It could be rather discouraging to them looking further in that topic on WV. We have good resources, yes, but one time we also will have to take care of these pages. Maybe when Wv will be better developed... &lt;br&gt;

This tiny looking school holds ''unbelievable'' amount of uncategorized, unlinked text worth to browse (I hope it isn't copyvio). --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 06:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
* Gbaor has raised '''a very good point here''' which I hadn't thought about before - namely, that if there is an empty &quot;birds&quot; page, and a visitor does a search on &quot;birds&quot;, they will, of course, end up on the empty page and not be pleased. Moreover, the empty birds page prevents the search from defaulting to a text-content search with a listing of pages by relevance. This is probably the best possible argument against hosting a few thousand stubs. '''On the other hand''': the new version of the welcome-and-expand template has a lot more helpful content than it used to - and specifically the ability to run a search across 8 different sister projects. --[[User:McCormack|McCormack]] 06:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

'''From above''': &quot;It could be rather discouraging to them&quot; to find empty/stub pages. &lt;-- 99.999% of Wikiversity remains to be constructed. People should not get past our Main Page without realizing this. To make it clear, we should change the Main Page....maybe put a big banner at the top that says &quot;Under construction, we need your help!&quot; --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 07:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

@Gbaor: I think this is not a good idea. This is Wikiversity, this is different thinking. Lets leave them in peace, if they are longer time incative and someone needs the page name - he might overwrite it or just kill data and write his own. Also be carefull on deffinition. Inactive project doesnt say that noone use it and study. There are severel types of projects or pages, which - when they are completed - they are ´static´ and they dont need to be eddited more. Also the problem with the page deletion is, that it is an extra operation, because deletion doesnt mean to kill the data - so they still fill the server. Just one difference is that deleted pages are not visible for normal users. So the key how to break people fear from reediting these pages may be don via &quot;McCormack´s&quot; templates.[[User:Juan|Juan]] 10:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Exercises has no subpages - my bad. Will check the deleted one in a minute. The error Terra encountered is because there are too many revisions to import. There is no hard number, it just fails sometimes :( You can try again (a few times!) and it may work. Another trick is to import only the top revision (which always succeeds) then import all revisions (remember that it will merge histories if there are previously-imported revisions, which is why you much check that the target doesn't exist before importing normally).

== Do not move pages... ==

At Wikiversity, people should '''not''' move pages because of spelling corrections.  (Example:  '''''(Move log); 18:10 . . Remi (Talk | contribs) School talk:Music and Dance moved to School talk:Music and dance (casing)'''''.

Moving at Wikiversity does not '''move''' a page.  It simply creates a second page.  This leaves the incorrect page still out there.

We must find a way that a page and all its references to it are changed for spelling corrections.  [[User:Robert Elliott|Robert Elliott]] 04:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

: Hi Robert, I'm not sure what the problem is here with moving because:
:* The &quot;old&quot; page becomes a redirect, so there are no broken links created and the user-end experience is the &quot;same&quot; (they are redirected automatically).
:* And the old redirect pages are not listed in search, etc. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]]&lt;/small&gt; 04:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

:;Wikiversity is new and growing
::There will be many reasons to change page names as Wikiversity continues to grow.  A single change is no problem but many pages (such as this one) are receiving multiple name changes.  Then things get messy.

::Currently, the programming at Wikiversity is not designed for a school which is always growing.  Therefore, we have to start thinking about a better system which will allow for a name change '''''without''''' creating a redirect.   [[User:Robert Elliott|Robert Elliott]] 21:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
:::That would break links, and an automatic way to update links to a page will probably never be implemented in core software. Unless you convince a developer that you want to run a bot 24/7 to bypass redirects and they should therefore allow configuration such that redirects are not created, this is going nowhere fast. I'm not sure you understand the implications of not having the redirect.
:::Note that the English Wikipedia has not failed yet due to creating redirects every time a page is moved, and they have grown far more than Wikiversity has. '''&amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;[[User:Mike.lifeguard|{{font|color=Indigo|Mike}}]].[[User talk:Mike.lifeguard|{{font|color=Indigo|lifeguard}}]]'''&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;sup&gt;[[m:User talk:Mike.lifeguard|{{font|color=Indigo|@meta}}]]&lt;/sup&gt; 23:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Alternatively, if double and triple (or more) redirects would not create hard stops, and would instead describe the path that the redirect took, this would allow for changes to be made without causing disruption in the flow of the user experience. But no one wants (I assume) hard stops caused by anything more than a single redirect. -[[User:Remi|Remi]] 00:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I'd point out two major points on moving and redirects:
* The reason for moving a page is to keep the page's revisions history - copying and pasting a page's content to a new page loses all the context of a page's development. So moving pages is most definitely good practice.
* The reason for having a redirect in place after a page-move is so that links to the page are not broken. A &quot;better system&quot; as proposed by Robert would have to automatically change all links at the same time as changing the page's url - or follow Mike.lifeguard's proposal for a bot that ignores redirects.
Personally, I don't see a problem with current practice/technology - there's nothing wrong with redirects (provided they are kept relatively tight - not getting into double/triple redirects). [[User:Cormaggio|Cormaggio]] &lt;sup&gt;&lt;small&gt;[[User talk:Cormaggio|talk]]&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; 16:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

:;Long past that state...
::I am trying to develop traditional courses at Wikiversity.  This is a huge experiment.  Not all my experimentation is correct.

::Often, I design a page which turns out not exactly what I want and I need to change its purpose and name.  My preference is to change the file name to make my changes clearer.  But currently, I refrain from making these page name corrections because it will cause a redirect.  '''Even with self restraint, I am far beyond simple redirects.'''  If I made all the corrections that I need, I would be about six or seven redirects deep.

:: Contrary to what everyone thinks, the system does not handle redirects well.  It frequently burps and does not follow all the redirects.  Occasionally, I see the wrong pages... which the next time I select the page, I see the correct page.

::We need to find a better way.   [[User:Robert Elliott|Robert Elliott]] 01:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Is there perhaps a more fundamental issue in developing a ''naming scheme'' for pages within a certain structure - in this case, a &quot;traditional course&quot;? If you had a scheme, would that help? Or is that just in fundamental contradiction with the experimental nature of the process? Would it help to devote a page to your naming scheme(s) and experiences? (Eg. [[Filmmaking/Naming scheme]]?) Your course, being by far the most developed course on Wikiversity, could be a case study we could all learn from.

::::I posted my naming scheme about 6 months ago.  At that time, everyone thought it was too complicated but as courses are developing, it might be the correct solution. ( I will try to find it again.)

Oh I absolutely have to agree with Robert Elliot here... I've seen a lot of page moving lately moving things to &quot;non-capped second/third/etc. words&quot; lately, often with the edit comment &quot;naming convention&quot;. Keep in mind that this is '''''not''''' wikipedia, and search oesn't work in subpaged projects no matter how you configure things. This is a case of the &quot;maintenance people&quot; getting in the way of the content creators, and is (IMO) frankly &lt;s&gt;obnoxious&lt;/s&gt; frustating. Categorizing and organizing is an entirely different thing from moving pages around, and moving pages without discussion and careful investigation is quite disruptive. --[[User:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|'''SB_Johnny'''}}]] | &lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|talk}}]]&lt;/sup&gt; 00:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Hi! I am sure that you comment was meant good, and I'd like to react to it in few points. 1., [[Wikiversity:Naming conventions]] are here, and although they are just ''proposed'' guidelines, I try to adjust the page names according to them; 2., creating content is the most important work here, no doubt.  But sometimes &quot;non-capped second/third/etc. words&quot; make big difference. Just compare [[:Category:Interdisciplinary Studies]] and [[:Category:Interdisciplinary studies]], [[:Category:Social Sciences]] and [[:Category:Social sciences]] and many others (I am working on them, and also on a general solution that will be proposed here). So... Maintenance '''is''' needed, sometimes even with pagemoves. Robert: I won't rename/move your pages, if you don't want it now. Just tell me. ;) There is plenty of other work to do... --[[User:Gbaor|Gbaor]] 05:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

::Well, with categories in particular keep in mind that they can be used differently in subpaged projects, and sometimes nearly-duplicate categories can serve a particular function. It's generally worth taking the time to ask whomever is actively putting things into the categories about them before diving in.

:::Hi John! Than you for this! [[m:DynamicPageList|DynamicPageList]]s are great! I don't how ''how'', but I ''will'' use them. Do you (anybody) know about any particular page/place on WV, where the &quot;DynamicPageList&quot; is used (to identify/modify the categories there)? Certainly I don't want to cause any damage to anybody. Still I think we should unify the category system (upper-lower cases) while often there is no connection between the 2 cats. See the examples above and many other in [[Special:Categories]]. &lt;br&gt; &quot;to ask whomever is actively putting things&quot; -quite hard to follow if you aren't online 24 hours a day, while there is no record of this in ''category pages'', but I will give it a try.

: Robert, I realise this isn't necessarily the solution you're after, but would it help if you were able to delete pages (that way you could tidy up your own double-redirects, etc. after pages get moved (rightly or wrongly by yourself or others).

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|170px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;. In the context of psychology and behaviour, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behavior. It is the ''driving force'' that pushes individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot; Emotions are complex psychological states characterised by feelings, physiological responses, and behavioral expressions. Emotions are often triggered by internal or external events and can significantly influence behavior and decision-making.

Therefore, both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour. Motivation is the driving force behind goal-oriented actions, while emotion is the affective states and responses to stimuli that often influence behavior and decision-making.

==What is motivation?==
;Common understanding

The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to focus and channel one's attention and efforts towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins): 

How do you motivate yourself?

;Psychological understanding
In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be defined as all internal process that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2018):
* Energy (Strength): Behaviour strength, intensity, resilience
* Direction (Purpose): Behaviour aimed to achieve particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Behaviour sustained over time and place

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve subjective feelings, psychophysiological arousal, purposeful/motivated response, and expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss (Reeve, 2018).

Emotional intelligence involves tuning into, self-regulating, and making effective use of emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In thisn unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by functioning as motivators, providing feedback about our behaviour, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|170px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;. In the context of psychology and behaviour, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behavior. It is the ''driving force'' that pushes individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot; Emotions are complex psychological states characterised by feelings, physiological responses, and behavioral expressions. Emotions are often triggered by internal or external events and can significantly influence behavior and decision-making.

Therefore, both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour. Motivation is the driving force behind goal-oriented actions, while emotion is the affective states and responses to stimuli that often influence behavior and decision-making.

==What is motivation?==
;Common understanding

The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to focus and channel one's attention and efforts towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins): 

How do you motivate yourself?

;Psychological understanding
In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be defined as all internal process that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2018):
* Energy (Strength): Behaviour strength, intensity, resilience
* Direction (Purpose): Behaviour aimed to achieve particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Behaviour sustained over time and place

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve subjective feelings, psychophysiological arousal, purposeful/motivated response, and expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss (Reeve, 2018).

Emotional intelligence involves tuning into, self-regulating, and making effective use of emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|170px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;. In the context of psychology and behaviour, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behavior. It is the ''driving force'' that pushes individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot; Emotions are complex psychological states characterised by feelings, physiological responses, and behavioral expressions. Emotions are often triggered by internal or external events and can significantly influence behavior and decision-making.

Therefore, both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour. Motivation is the driving force behind goal-oriented actions, while emotion is the affective states and responses to stimuli that often influence behavior and decision-making.

==What is motivation?==
;Common understanding

The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to focus and channel one's attention and efforts towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins): 

How do you motivate yourself?

;Psychological understanding
In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be defined as all internal process that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2018):
* Energy (Strength): Behaviour strength, intensity, resilience
* Direction (Purpose): Behaviour aimed to achieve particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Behaviour sustained over time and place

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve subjective feelings, psychophysiological arousal, purposeful/motivated response, and expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss (Reeve, 2018).

Emotional intelligence involves tuning into, self-regulating, and making effective use of emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|170px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;. In the context of psychology and behaviour, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behavior. It is the ''driving force'' that pushes individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot; Emotions are complex psychological states characterised by feelings, physiological responses, and behavioral expressions. Emotions are often triggered by internal or external events and can significantly influence behavior and decision-making.

Therefore, both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour. Motivation is the driving force behind goal-oriented actions, while emotion is the affective states and responses to stimuli that often influence behavior and decision-making.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel one's attention and efforts towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins): 

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|170px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins): 

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

{{RoundBoxTop}}

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;.  Academic study of motivation covers much more, including hidden motivations (e.g., unconscious motivations). In addition, academic approaches take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Psychological science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, and also wrong or lacking in nuance.

'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide powerful levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: Motivation and emotion have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

{{RoundBoxTop}}
For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

{{RoundBoxTop}}What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

In this unit, we'll study motivation and emotion separately but along the way, and increasingly towards the end, the emphasis will focus on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(motivation is dynamic; motivations rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons)&lt;br&gt;(individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;. However, academic study of motivation covers much more, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and hidden (e.g., unconscious) motivations. Academic approaches also take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Motivational science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, wrong, or lacking in nuance.

* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can be readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: Motivation and emotion have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

{{RoundBoxTop}}What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

This unit studies motivation and emotion separately but as the unit progesses, it increasingly emphasises on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(i.e., motivation is dynamic; motivations fluctuate; they rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(i.e. we each have multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things  (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons; individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;. However, academic study of motivation covers much more, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and hidden (e.g., unconscious) motivations. Academic approaches also take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Motivational science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, wrong, or lacking in nuance.

'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can be readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;
what we do?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;
the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;
what we feel?{{center bottom}}

Core problems to be solved by motivational science include &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot; and, more specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: Motivation and emotion have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

{{RoundBoxTop}}

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

{{RoundBoxTop}}What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

This unit studies motivation and emotion separately but as the unit progesses, it increasingly emphasises on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

;Introduction to motivation and emotion
* Motivational science
* Key questions
* Motivation theoretical frameworks
* Introduction to emotion

==Key observations==
[[File:Motivation and Emotion Scrabble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Motivation and emotion come from the latin verb ''movere'' (to move).]]
* People are motivated by different things at different times&lt;br&gt;(i.e., motivation is dynamic; motivations fluctuate; they rise and fall)
* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(i.e. we each have multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things  (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons; individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;. However, academic study of motivation covers much more, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and hidden (e.g., unconscious) motivations. Academic approaches also take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Motivational science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, wrong, or lacking in nuance.

'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can be readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;what we do?
&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;what we do?
&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;what we feel?{{center bottom}}

The core problem to be solved by motivational science is &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot;. More specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: Motivation and emotion have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

{{RoundBoxTop}}
For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

In the context of psychology, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behaviour. Motivation is understood as the ''driving forces'' that push individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

{{RoundBoxTop}}What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

This unit studies motivation and emotion separately but as the unit progesses, it increasingly emphasises on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

* Each person is motivated by multiple things at once&lt;br&gt;(i.e. we each have multiple motivations)
* Different people are motivated by different things  (e.g., two people may perform the same behaviour but for different reasons; individual differences)

==Motivational science==
[[wikt:layperson|Layperson]] perspectives often focus on how to &quot;get more motivation&quot;. However, academic study of motivation covers much more, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and hidden (e.g., unconscious) motivations. Academic approaches also take a scientific, rather than &quot;inspirational&quot; approach to motivation.

Motivational science is an evolving body of knowledge and methods that prioritise theory‑driven hypotheses tested via rigorous empirical methods rather than relying on anecdotal or opinion‑based sources (e.g. inspirational quotes, influencers, news articles). Common wisdom and lay notions about motivation are often narrow, wrong, or lacking in nuance.

'''Example''': New Year's resolutions
* Almost half of us make [[w:New Year's resolution|New Year's resolution]]s, which creates a '''feel‑good effect'''.
* However, long-term success is modest: 46% maintain resolutions over six months (Norcross et al., 2002).
* Key predictors of success include:
** '''Self‑efficacy of change''' – belief in one's capability to initiate a new behaviour or habit
** '''Self‑efficacy of maintenance''' – confidence in one's ability to sustain that behaviour over time
** '''Readiness to change''' – psychological and situational preparedness to embark on change
* However, these aspects did not explain success: 
** '''Desire to change''' – intrinsic motivation or personal aspiration driving the intention to change
** '''Skills to change''' – practical competencies and strategies required to execute and manage change
** '''Social support''' – encouragement, guidance and assistance provided by one’s social network (Norcross et al., 2002).

[[File:Scientific process.svg|right|350px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. The scientific process involves data-based testing of theory derived from real world observations, and then applying refined theory back to real world problems.]]

Understanding motivational theory and research can provide levers for unlocking one's own motivation and also in working more effectively with others. Thus, study of motivation and emotion can be readily applied.

Empirical approaches to studying motivational processes (see Figure 2) define and operationalise theoretical psychological construct(s) and then formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. Data are collected and analysed through peer‑reviewed research designs (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, meta‑analytic). Each study responds to, or builds on, previous studies, so that a cohesive body of knowledge develops. This is what is meant by being grounded in science, or [[w:Evidence-based practice|evidence-based]].

==Key questions==
The key questions underlying psychological study of motivation and emotion are:

{{center top}}Why do we do&lt;br&gt;what we do?
&lt;br&gt;
Why do we feel&lt;br&gt;the way we feel?{{center bottom}}

The practical, applied problems are:
{{center top}}
How can we change&lt;br&gt;what we do?
&lt;br&gt;
How can we change&lt;br&gt;what we feel?{{center bottom}}

The core problem to be solved by motivational science is &quot;What causes behaviour?&quot;. More specifically:
* Why does behaviour start?
* Why is behaviour sustained over time?
* Why is behaviour directed towards some goals yet away from others?
* Why does behaviour change its direction?
* Why does behaviour stop?

==Etymology==
[[File:Running Samburu Boy.jpg|thumb|right|140px|'''Figure 3'''. [[w:Etymology|Etymology]]: Motivation and emotion have a common root in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; (to move).]]

The terms &quot;motivation&quot; and &quot;emotion&quot; have their roots in the Latin verb &quot;movere&quot; which means &quot;to move&quot; (see Figure 3). More specifically:
* &quot;motivation&quot; is derived from &quot;motivus&quot; which refers to the action of moving or being moved. This evolved to &quot;motivare&quot; which means &quot;to set in motion&quot; or &quot;to stimulate&quot;.
* &quot;emotion&quot; comes from &quot;emotus&quot; which means &quot;moved&quot; or &quot;agitated.&quot;

Both motivation and emotion are linked to the idea of movement or being moved, but represent different aspects of human experiences and behaviour.

==What is motivation?==
The everyday, layperson understanding of &quot;motivation&quot; is that it involves using will-power and self-discipline to channel attention and effort towards achieving challenging short- or long-term goals such as working out or studying.

{{RoundBoxTop}}
For example, how does this video make you feel? Why? 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag The ultimate motivational clip - Rise and shine!] (YouTube) (3:24 mins) 

'''How do you motivate yourself?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

In contrast, psychological science considers ''ALL behaviour'' to be motivated, including:
* mundane behaviour (e.g., drinking and eating)
* less &quot;desirable&quot; behaviours (e.g., avoidance, procrastination, nose-picking etc.)
* &quot;non-behaviour&quot; (i.e., choosing not to do something is also a motivated behaviour)
* approach-based goal-directed behaviours (e.g., training for a marathon)

In the context of psychology, &quot;motivation&quot; refers to the processes that initiate, direct, and sustain goal-directed behaviour. Motivation is understood as the ''driving forces'' that push individuals to take action and achieve their objectives.

Motivation is complex:
* Multiple people engaged in the SAME behaviour (e.g., a workout) may have DIFFERENT motivations (e.g., fitness, emotion regulation, social engagement).
* We each have MULTIPLE motivations in any moment, but only our DOMINANT motivation gets acted upon.

Motivation can be understood as the internal processes that give behaviour energy, direction, and persistence (Reeve, 2024):
* Energy (Strength): Behavioural strength or intensity
* Direction (Purpose): Focus of behaviour towards achieving particular purposes or outcome
* Persistence (Endurance): Sustaining of behaviour over time and place

{{RoundBoxTop}}'''What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Motivation|your definition of motivation]]?'''{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is emotion?==
Emotions are complex psychological states characterised by feelings, physiological responses, and behavioural expressions. Emotions are often triggered by internal or external events and can significantly influence behavior and decision-making.

Emotions:
* are dynamic e.g., help us adapt to our environment
* provide feedback about our behaviour
* motivate changes in energy, direction, and persistence of behaviour

Emotions involve (Reeve, 2024):
* subjective feelings
* psychophysiological arousal
* purposeful/motivated response
* expressive reactions to significant life events such as opportunity, threat, and loss

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and effectively regulating emotion in one's self and others.

{{RoundBoxTop}}What is [[Motivation and emotion/Definitions#Emotion|your definition of emotion]]?{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==What is the relationship between motivation and emotion?==
How do motivation and emotion relate to one other?

How do they work together?

Consider two principles:
* Emotion ''provides feedback'' about motivation processes (e.g., positive emotion if motivational pursuit is going well and negative emotion if it is going badly)
* Emotions ''trigger motivational response'' (e.g., fear → fight, freeze, flight, fawn)

Although motivation and emotion are often studies as separate constructs, they are intrinsically intertwined.

This unit studies motivation and emotion separately but as the unit progesses, it increasingly emphasises on their relationship.

== Take-home messages ==
* This unit seeks to understand and apply psychological theory and research about motivation and emotion.
* Motivation refers to the processes that give behaviour its energy, direction, and persistence.
* Emotions help us to adapt by providing feedback about our behaviour, functioning as motivators, and communicating our needs to others.

== What is shear force? ==
Below a force of 10N is exerted at point A on a beam. This is an external force. However because the beam is a rigid structure, the force will be internally transferred all along the beam. This internal force is known as shear force. The shear force between point A and B is usually plotted on a shear force diagram. As the shear force is 10N all along the beam, the plot is just a straight line, in this example.

[[File:Shear2.PNG]]

The idea of shear force might seem odd, maybe this example will help clarify. Imagine pushing an object along a kitchen table, with a 10N force. Even though you're applying the force only at one point on the object, it's not just that point of the object that moves forward. The whole object moves forward, which tells you that the force must have transferred all along the object, such that every atom of the object is experiencing this 10N force.

Please note that this is not the full explanation of what shear force actually is. 

==Basic shear diagram==

What if there is more than one force, as shown in the diagram below, what would the shear force diagram look like then? 

[[File:Shear5.PNG]]

The way you go about this is by figuring out the shear force at points A,B,C,E (as there is an external force acting at these points). The way you work out the shear force at any point, is by covering (either with your hand or a piece of paper), everything to right of that point, and simply adding up the external forces. Then plot the point on the shear force diagram. For illustration purposes, this is done for point D:

[[File:Shear6.PNG]]

Shear force at D = 10N - 20N + 40N = 30Newtons

[[File:Shear7.PNG]]

Now, let's do this for point B. BUT - slight complication - there's a force acting at point B, are you going to include it? The answer is both yes and no. You need to take 2 measurements. Firstly put your piece of paper, so it's JUST before point B:

[[File:Shear8.PNG]]

Shear force at B = 10N

[[File:Shear9.PNG]]

Now place your paper JUST after point B:

[[File:Shear10.PNG]]

Shear force at B = 10N - 20N = -10N

[[File:Shear11.PNG]]

(B' is vertically below B)

Now, do point A, D and E, and finally join the points. your diagram should look like the one below. If you don't understand why, leave a message on the discussion section of this page (its at the top), I will elaborate on the explanation:

[[File:Shear12.PNG]]

Notice how nothing exciting happens at point D, which is why you wouldn't normally analyse the shear force at that point. For clarity, when doing these diagrams it is recommended you move you paper from left to right, and hence analyse points A,B, C, and E, in that order. You can also do this procedure covering the left side instead of the right, your diagram will be &quot;upside down&quot; though. Both diagrams are correct.

==Basic bending moment diagram==

Bending moment refers to the internal moment that causes something to bend. When you bend a ruler, even though apply the forces/moments at the ends of the ruler, bending occurs all along the ruler, which indicates that there is a bending moment acting all along the ruler. Hence bending moment is shown on a bending moment diagram. The same case from before will be used here:

[[File:Shear5.PNG]]

To work out the bending moment at any point, cover (with a piece of paper) everything to the right of that point, and take moments about that point. (I will take clockwise moments to be positive). To illustrate, I shall work out the bending moment at point C:

[[File:Shear13.PNG]]

Bending moment at C = 10Nx3m - 20Nx2m = -10Nm

(Please note that the two diagrams below should show units in &quot;Nm&quot;, not in &quot;N&quot; as it is currently showing)

[[File:Shear14.PNG]]

Notice that there's no need to work out the bending moment &quot;just before and just after&quot; point C, (as in the case for the shear force diagram). This is because the 40N force at point C exerts no moment about point C, either way. 

Repeating the procedure for points A,B and E, and joining all the points:

[[File:Shear15.PNG]]

Normally you would expect the diagram to start and end at zero, in this case it doesn't. This is my fault, and it happened because I accidentally chose my forces such that there is a moment disequilibrium. i.e. take moments about any point (without covering the right of the point), and you'll notice that the moments aren't balanced, as they should be. It also means that if you're covering the left side as opposed to the right, you will get a completely different diagram. Sorry about this...
Upon inspection, the forces are unbalanced, so it is immediately expected that the diagram will most likely not be balanced.

==Point moments==
Point moments are something that you may not have come across before. Below, a point moment of 20Nm is exerted at point C. Work out the reaction of A and D:

[[File:Shear16.PNG]]

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 40

Taking moments about A (clockwise is positive): 40·2 - 20 - 6·R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 0

R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 30N , R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 10N

If instead you were to take moments about D you would get: - 20 - 40·4 + 6·R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 0

I think it's important for you to see that wherever you take moments about, the point moment is always taken as a negative (because it's a counter clockwise moment). 

So how does a point moment affect the shear force and bending moment diagrams? &lt;br&gt;
Well. It has absolutely no effect on the shear force diagram. You can just ignore point C when drawing the shear force diagram. When drawing the bending moment diagram you will need to work out the bending moment just before and just after point C:

[[File:Shear21.PNG]]

Just before: bending moment at C = 3·30 - 1·40 = 50Nm

Just after: bending moment at C = 3·30 - 1·40 - 20 = 30Nm

Then work out the bending moment at points A, B and D (no need to do before and after for these points). And plot. 

'''Cantilever beam'''

Until now, you may have only dealt with &quot;simply supported beams&quot; (like in the diagram above), where a beam is supported by 2 pivots at either end. Below is a cantilever beam, which means - a beam that rigidly attached to a wall. Just like a pivot, the wall is capable of exerting an upwards reaction force R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; on the beam. However it is also capable of exerting a point moment M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; on the beam. 
 
[[File:Shear17.PNG]]

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 10N

Taking moments about A: -M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + 10·2 = 0 → M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 20Nm

== Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) ==
Below is a brick lying on a beam. The weight of the brick is uniformly distributed on the beam (shown in diagram A). The brick has a weight of 5N per meter of brick (5N/m). Since the brick is 6 meters long the total weight of the brick is 30N. This is shown in diagram B. Diagram B is a simplification of diagram A. As you will see, you will need to be able to convert a type A diagram to a type B.

[[File:Shear18.PNG]]
 
To make your life more difficult I have added an external force at point C, and a point moment to the diagram below. This is the most difficult type of question I can think of, and I will do the shear force and bending moment diagram for it, step by step.

[[File:Shear19.PNG]]

Firstly identify the key points at which you will work out the shear force and bending moment at. These will be points: A,B,C,D,E and F. 

As you would have noticed when working out the bending moment and shear force at any given point, sometimes you just work it out at the point, and sometimes you work it out just before and after. Here is a summary: When drawing a shear force diagram, if you are dealing with a point force (points A,C and F in the above diagram), work out the shear force before and after the point. Otherwise (for points B and D), just work it out right at that point. When drawing a bending moment diagram, if you are dealing with a point moment (point E), work out the bending moment before and after the point. Otherwise (for points A,B,C,D, and F), work out the bending moment at the point. 

After identifying the key points, you want to work out the values of R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; and R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;. You now need to convert to a type B diagram, as shown below. Notice the 30N force acts right in the middle between points B and D. 

[[File:Shear20.PNG]] 

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 50 &lt;br&gt;
Take moments about A: 4·30 + 5·20 + 40 - 10·R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 0 &lt;br&gt;
R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 24N , R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;= 26N

Update original diagram:

[[File:Shear22.PNG]] 

=== '''Shear force diagram''' === 

'''point A:'''

[[File:Shear23.PNG]] 


'''point B:'''

[[File:Shear24.PNG]] 

Notice that the uniformly distributed load has no effect on point B. 

'''point C:'''

Just before C:

[[File:Shear25.PNG]]

Now convert to a type B diagram. Total weight of brick from point B to C = 5x4 = 20N 

[[File:Shear26.PNG]]

Shear force before C: 24 - 20 = 4N
 
[[File:Shear27.PNG]]

Shear force after C: 24 - 20 - 20 = -16N

'''point D:'''

[[File:Shear28.PNG]]

Shear force at D: 24 - 30 - 20 = -26N
 
'''point F:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)
 
[[File:Shear29.PNG]]

Finally plot all the points on the shear force diagram and join them up:

[[File:Shear30.PNG]]

=== '''Bending moment diagram''' === 

'''Point A'''

[[File:Shear31.PNG]]

Bending moment at A: 0Nm

'''Point B'''

[[File:Shear35.PNG]] 

Bending moment at B: 24·1 = 24Nm

'''point C:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear27.PNG]]
 
Bending moment at C: 24·5 - 20·2 = 80Nm

'''point D:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear32.PNG]]

Bending moment at D: 24·7 - 30·3 - 20·2 = 38Nm

'''point E:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear33.PNG]]

'''point F:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear34.PNG]]

Bending moment at F: 24·10 - 30·6 - 20·5 + 40 = 0Nm

Finally, plot the points on the bending moment diagram. Join all the points up, EXCEPT those that are under the uniformly distributed load (UDL), which are points B,C and D. As seen below, you need to draw a curve between these points. Unless requested, I will not explain why this happens. 

[[File:Shear39.PNG]]

Note: The diagram is not at all drawn to scale.

I have drawn 2 curves. One from B to C, one from C to D. Notice that each of these curves resembles some part of a negative parabola. 

[[File:Shear37.PNG]]

Rule: When drawing a bending moment diagram, under a UDL, you must connect the points with a curve. This curve must resemble some part of a negative parabola. 

Note: The convention used throughout this page is &quot;clockwise moments are taken as positive&quot;. If the convention was &quot;counter-clockwise moments are taken as positive&quot;, you would need to draw a positive parabola.

==== '''Hypothetical scenario''' ==== 

For a hypothetical question, what if points B, C and D, were plotted as shown below. Notice how I have drawn the curves for this case. 
 
[[File:Shear38.PNG]]

If you wanted to find the peak of the curve, how would you do it? Simple. On the original diagram (used at the start of the question) add an additional point (point G), centrally between point B and C. Then work out the bending moment at point G. 
 
That's it! If you have found this article useful, please comment in the discussion section (at the top of the page), as this will help me decide whether to write more articles like this. Also please comment if there are other topics you want covered, or you would like something in this article to be written more clearly.

Shear force at D = 10N - 20N + 40N = 30Newtons

[[File:Shear7.PNG]]

Now, let's do this for point B. BUT - slight complication - there's a force acting at point B, are you going to include it? The answer is both yes and no. You need to take 2 measurements. Firstly put your piece of paper, so it's JUST before point B:

[[File:Shear8.PNG]]

Shear force at B = 10N

[[File:Shear9.PNG]]

Now place your paper JUST after point B:

[[File:Shear10.PNG]]

Shear force at B = 10N - 20N = -10N

[[File:Shear11.PNG]]

(B' is vertically below B)

Now, do point A, D and E, and finally join the points. your diagram should look like the one below. If you don't understand why, leave a message on the discussion section of this page (its at the top), I will elaborate on the explanation:

[[File:Shear12.PNG]]

Notice how nothing exciting happens at point D, which is why you wouldn't normally analyse the shear force at that point. For clarity, when doing these diagrams it is recommended you move you paper from left to right, and hence analyse points A,B, C, and E, in that order. You can also do this procedure covering the left side instead of the right, your diagram will be &quot;upside down&quot; though. Both diagrams are correct.

==Basic bending moment diagram==

Bending moment refers to the internal moment that causes something to bend. When you bend a ruler, even though apply the forces/moments at the ends of the ruler, bending occurs all along the ruler, which indicates that there is a bending moment acting all along the ruler. Hence bending moment is shown on a bending moment diagram. The same case from before will be used here:

[[File:Shear5.PNG]]

To work out the bending moment at any point, cover (with a piece of paper) everything to the right of that point, and take moments about that point. (I will take clockwise moments to be positive). To illustrate, I shall work out the bending moment at point C:

[[File:Shear13.PNG]]

Bending moment at C = 10Nx3m - 20Nx2m = -10Nm

(Please note that the two diagrams below should show units in &quot;Nm&quot;, not in &quot;N&quot; as it is currently showing)

[[File:Shear14.PNG]]

Notice that there's no need to work out the bending moment &quot;just before and just after&quot; point C, (as in the case for the shear force diagram). This is because the 40N force at point C exerts no moment about point C, either way. 

Repeating the procedure for points A,B and E, and joining all the points:

[[File:Shear15.PNG]]

Normally you would expect the diagram to start and end at zero, in this case it doesn't. This is my fault, and it happened because I accidentally chose my forces such that there is a moment disequilibrium. i.e. take moments about any point (without covering the right of the point), and you'll notice that the moments aren't balanced, as they should be. It also means that if you're covering the left side as opposed to the right, you will get a completely different diagram. Sorry about this...
Upon inspection, the forces are unbalanced, so it is immediately expected that the diagram will most likely not be balanced.

==Point moments==
Point moments are something that you may not have come across before. Below, a point moment of 20Nm is exerted at point C. Work out the reaction of A and D:

[[File:Shear16.PNG]]

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 40

Taking moments about A (clockwise is positive): 40·2 - 20 - 6·R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 0

R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 30N , R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 10N

If instead you were to take moments about D you would get: - 20 - 40·4 + 6·R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 0

I think it's important for you to see that wherever you take moments about, the point moment is always taken as a negative (because it's a counter clockwise moment). 

So how does a point moment affect the shear force and bending moment diagrams? &lt;br&gt;
Well. It has absolutely no effect on the shear force diagram. You can just ignore point C when drawing the shear force diagram. When drawing the bending moment diagram you will need to work out the bending moment just before and just after point C:

[[File:Shear21.PNG]]

Just before: bending moment at C = 3·30 - 1·40 = 50Nm

Just after: bending moment at C = 3·30 - 1·40 - 20 = 30Nm

Then work out the bending moment at points A, B and D (no need to do before and after for these points). And plot. 

'''Cantilever beam'''

Until now, you may have only dealt with &quot;simply supported beams&quot; (like in the diagram above), where a beam is supported by 2 pivots at either end. Below is a cantilever beam, which means - a beam that rigidly attached to a wall. Just like a pivot, the wall is capable of exerting an upwards reaction force R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; on the beam. However it is also capable of exerting a point moment M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; on the beam. 
 
[[File:Shear17.PNG]]

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 10N

Taking moments about A: -M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + 10·2 = 0 → M&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 20Nm

== Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) ==
Below is a brick lying on a beam. The weight of the brick is uniformly distributed on the beam (shown in diagram A). The brick has a weight of 5N per meter of brick (5N/m). Since the brick is 6 meters long the total weight of the brick is 30N. This is shown in diagram B. Diagram B is a simplification of diagram A. As you will see, you will need to be able to convert a type A diagram to a type B.

[[File:Shear18.PNG]]
 
To make your life more difficult I have added an external force at point C, and a point moment to the diagram below. This is the most difficult type of question I can think of, and I will do the shear force and bending moment diagram for it, step by step.

[[File:Shear19.PNG]]

Firstly identify the key points at which you will work out the shear force and bending moment at. These will be points: A,B,C,D,E and F. 

As you would have noticed when working out the bending moment and shear force at any given point, sometimes you just work it out at the point, and sometimes you work it out just before and after. Here is a summary: When drawing a shear force diagram, if you are dealing with a point force (points A,C and F in the above diagram), work out the shear force before and after the point. Otherwise (for points B and D), just work it out right at that point. When drawing a bending moment diagram, if you are dealing with a point moment (point E), work out the bending moment before and after the point. Otherwise (for points A,B,C,D, and F), work out the bending moment at the point. 

After identifying the key points, you want to work out the values of R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; and R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;. You now need to convert to a type B diagram, as shown below. Notice the 30N force acts right in the middle between points B and D. 

[[File:Shear20.PNG]] 

Force equilibrium: R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; + R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 50 &lt;br&gt;
Take moments about A: 4·30 + 5·20 + 40 - 10·R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = 0 &lt;br&gt;
R&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 24N , R&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;= 26N

Update original diagram:

[[File:Shear22.PNG]] 

=== '''Shear force diagram''' === 

'''point A:'''

[[File:Shear23.PNG]] 


'''point B:'''

[[File:Shear24.PNG]] 

Notice that the uniformly distributed load has no effect on point B. 

'''point C:'''

Just before C:

[[File:Shear25.PNG]]

Now convert to a type B diagram. Total weight of brick from point B to C = 5x4 = 20N 

[[File:Shear26.PNG]]

Shear force before C: 24 - 20 = 4N
 
[[File:Shear27.PNG]]

Shear force after C: 24 - 20 - 20 = -16N

'''point D:'''

[[File:Shear28.PNG]]

Shear force at D: 24 - 30 - 20 = -26N
 
'''point F:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)
 
[[File:Shear29.PNG]]

Finally plot all the points on the shear force diagram and join them up:

[[File:Shear30.PNG]]

=== '''Bending moment diagram''' === 

'''Point A'''

[[File:Shear31.PNG]]

Bending moment at A: 0Nm

'''Point B'''

[[File:Shear35.PNG]] 

Bending moment at B: 24·1 = 24Nm

'''point C:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear27.PNG]]
 
Bending moment at C: 24·5 - 20·2 = 80Nm

'''point D:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear32.PNG]]

Bending moment at D: 24·7 - 30·3 - 20·2 = 38Nm

'''point E:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear33.PNG]]

'''point F:'''

(I have already converted to a type B diagram, below)

[[File:Shear34.PNG]]

Bending moment at F: 24·10 - 30·6 - 20·5 + 40 = 0Nm

Finally, plot the points on the bending moment diagram. Join all the points up, EXCEPT those that are under the uniformly distributed load (UDL), which are points B,C and D. As seen below, you need to draw a curve between these points. Unless requested, I will not explain why this happens. 

[[File:Shear39.PNG]]

Note: The diagram is not at all drawn to scale.

I have drawn 2 curves. One from B to C, one from C to D. Notice that each of these curves resembles some part of a negative parabola. 

[[File:Shear37.PNG]]

Rule: When drawing a bending moment diagram, under a UDL, you must connect the points with a curve. This curve must resemble some part of a negative parabola. 

Note: The convention used throughout this page is &quot;clockwise moments are taken as positive&quot;. If the convention was &quot;counter-clockwise moments are taken as positive&quot;, you would need to draw a positive parabola.

==== '''Hypothetical scenario''' ==== 

For a hypothetical question, what if points B, C and D, were plotted as shown below. Notice how I have drawn the curves for this case. 
 
[[File:Shear38.PNG]]

If you wanted to find the peak of the curve, how would you do it? Simple. On the original diagram (used at the start of the question) add an additional point (point G), centrally between point B and C. Then work out the bending moment at point G. 
 
That's it! If you have found this article useful, please comment in the discussion section (at the top of the page), as this will help me decide whether to write more articles like this. Also please comment if there are other topics you want covered, or you would like something in this article to be written more clearly.

'''Mars''' is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the &quot;Red Planet&quot; because the [[w:iron(III) oxide|iron oxide]] prevalent on its surface gives it a [[w:Mars surface color|reddish appearance]]. Mars has with a thin [[w:atmosphere|atmosphere]] with surface features reminiscent both of the [[w:impact crater|impact craters]] of the [[w:Moon|Moon]] and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and [[w:polar ice caps|polar ice caps]] of Earth. The [[w:rotational period|rotational period]] and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of [[w:Olympus Mons|Olympus Mons]], the second highest known mountain within the Solar System (the tallest on a planet), and of [[w:Valles Marineris|Valles Marineris]], one of the largest canyons. The smooth [[w:Borealis basin|Borealis basin]] in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two known [[w:Moons of Mars|moons]], which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured [[w:asteroid|asteroids]].

Until the first successful Mars flyby in 1965 by ''[[w:Mariner 4|Mariner 4]]'', many speculated about the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface. This was based on observed periodic variations in light and dark patches, particularly in the polar [[w:latitude|latitudes]], which appeared to be seas and continents; long, dark [[w:Striation (geology)|striations]] were interpreted by some as irrigation channels for liquid water. These straight line features were later explained as optical illusions, though geological evidence gathered by unmanned missions suggest that Mars once had large-scale water coverage on its surface.In 2005, radar data revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice at the poles and mid-latitudes.

[[File:Olympus Mons alt.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Top down view of [[w:Olympus Mons|Olympus Mons]]]]
The most conspicuous feature of [[w:geology of Mars|Martian surface geology]] is a sharp contrast, known as the '''[[w:Martian dichotomy|Martian dichotomy]]''', between the rugged southern highlands and the relatively smooth northern basins.  It has been speculated that, four billion years ago, the northern hemisphere of Mars might have been struck by an object one-tenth to two-thirds the size of Earth's [[w:Moon|Moon]].

The [[w:shield volcano|shield volcano]] [[w:Olympus Mons|Olympus Mons]] (''Mount Olympus'') is an extinct volcano in the vast upland region [[w:Tharsis|Tharsis]], which contains several other large volcanoes. Olympus Mons is roughly three times the height of [[w:Mount Everest|Mount Everest]], which in comparison stands at just over 8.8&amp;nbsp;km.  (See also [[w:Volcanism on Mars|Volcanism on Mars]]).

The large canyon, [[w:Valles Marineris|Valles Marineris]] (''Mariner Valley'') has a length equivalent to the length of Europe and extends across one-fifth the circumference of Mars. Valles Marineris was formed due to the swelling of the Tharsis area which caused the crust in the area of Valles Marineris to collapse.

Like Earth, mars has undergone [[w:planetary differentiation|differentiation]], resulting in a dense, metallic core region overlaid by less dense materials.  Current models of the planet's interior imply a core region about 1794&amp;nbsp;km ± 65&amp;nbsp;km in radius, consisting primarily of [[w:iron|iron]] and [[w:nickel|nickel]] with about 16–17% [[sulfur]]. This [[Iron(II) sulfide|iron sulfide]] core is partially fluid, and has twice the concentration of the lighter elements that exist at Earth's core. The core is surrounded by a silicate [[w:mantle (geology)|mantle]] that formed many of the tectonic and volcanic features on the planet, but now appears to be dormant. The average thickness of the planet's crust is about 50&amp;nbsp;km, with a maximum thickness of 125&amp;nbsp;km. Earth's crust, averaging 40&amp;nbsp;km, is only one third as thick as Mars' crust, relative to the sizes of the two planets.

Although Mars has no evidence of a current structured global [[w:magnetic field|magnetic field]], observations show that parts of the planet's crust have been magnetized, and that alternating polarity reversals of its magnetic field have occurred in the past. One theory is that these bands demonstrate [[w:plate tectonics]] on Mars four [[w:1000000000 (number)|billion]] years ago, before the planetary [[w:dynamo theory|dynamo]] ceased to function.

During the [[w:Formation and evolution of the Solar System|Solar System's formation]], Mars was created from the [[w:protoplanetary disk|protoplanetary disk]] that orbited the Sun. Mars has many distinctive chemical features caused by its position in the Solar System. Elements with comparatively low boiling points such as chlorine, phosphorus and sulphur are much more common on Mars than Earth; these elements were probably removed from areas closer to the Sun by the young star's energetic [[w:solar wind|solar wind]].
After the formation of the planets, all were subjected to the so-called &quot;[[w:Late Heavy Bombardment|Late Heavy Bombardment]]&quot;. About 60% of the surface of Mars shows a record of impacts from that era. There is evidence of an enormous impact basin in the northern hemisphere of Mars.  One theory suggests that Mars was struck by a [[w:Pluto|Pluto]]-sized body about four billion years ago. The event, thought to be the cause of the [[w:Martian hemispheric dichotomy|Martian hemispheric dichotomy]], created the smooth [[w:Borealis basin|Borealis basin]] that covers 40% of the planet.

[[Image:Gusev - Ma'adim Vallis.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Maadim Vallis outflow channel is approximately 700&amp;nbsp;km long and much bigger than the Grand Canyon.]]

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars due to low atmospheric pressure, except at the lowest elevations for short periods. But solid water in the form of ice exists.  The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of water.  Deep underground, a [[w:permafrost|permafrost]] mantle is believed to stretch from the pole to latitudes of about 60°.

[[w:Geomorphology|Landforms]] visible on Mars strongly suggest that liquid water has at least at times existed on the planet's surface. [[w:Outflow channels|Martian outflow channels]] are extremely long, wide swathes of scoured ground, commonly containing the streamlined remnants of pre-existing topography and other linear erosive features indicating sculpting by fluids moving downslope.  About 25 huge outflow channels are thought to record erosion which occurred during the catastrophic release of water from subsurface aquifers, though some of these structures have also been hypothesized to result from the action of glaciers or lava.

[[File:Mars_gullies.800px.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Gullies on Mars]]

The youngest of these channels are thought to have formed as recently as only a few million years ago. Elsewhere, particularly on the oldest areas of the Martian surface, finer-scale, dendritic [[w:Valley networks (Mars)|networks of valleys]] are spread across significant proportions of the landscape. Features of these valleys and their distribution very strongly imply that they were carved by [[w:surface runoff|runoff]] resulting from rain or snow fall in early Mars history.

Along crater and canyon walls, there are also thousands of features that appear similar to terrestrial [[w:gullies|gullies]]. The gullies tend to be in the highlands of the southern hemisphere and to face the Equator; all are poleward of 30° latitude. A number of authors have suggested that their formation process demands the involvement of liquid water, probably from melting ice, although others have argued for formation mechanisms involving carbon dioxide frost or the movement of dry dust. No partially degraded gullies have formed by weathering and no superimposed impact craters have been observed, indicating that these are very young features, possibly even active today.

Other geological features, such as [[w:River delta|delta]]s and [[w:alluvial fans|alluvial fans]] preserved in craters, also argue very strongly for warmer, wetter conditions at some interval or intervals in earlier Mars history. Some authors have even gone so far as to argue that at times in the Martian past, much of the low northern plains of the planet were covered with a true ocean hundreds of meters deep, though this remains controversial.

[[File:Mars atmosphere.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The tenuous atmosphere of Mars, visible on the horizon in this low-orbit photo]]
Mars has two permanent polar ice caps. During a pole's winter, it lies in continuous darkness, chilling the surface and causing the [[w:Deposition (phase transition)|deposition]] of 25–30% of the atmosphere into slabs of [[w:Carbon dioxide|CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;]] ice ([[w:dry ice|dry ice]]). The polar caps at both poles consist primarily of water ice. Frozen carbon dioxide accumulates as a comparatively thin layer about one metre thick on the north cap in the northern winter only, while the south cap has a permanent dry ice cover about eight metres thick.

* '''[[w:Atmosphere of Mars|Atmosphere of Mars]]'''

Mars lost its [[w:magnetosphere|magnetosphere]] 4 billion years ago, so the [[w:solar wind|solar wind]] interacts directly with the Martian [[w:ionosphere|ionosphere]], lowering the atmospheric density by stripping away atoms from the outer layer. Both [[w:Mars Global Surveyor|Mars Global Surveyor]] and Mars Express have detected ionised atmospheric particles trailing off into space behind Mars. Compared to Earth, the [[w:celestial body atmosphere|atmosphere]] of Mars is quite rarefied. The mean surface pressure is only 0.6% of that of the Earth (101.3&amp;nbsp;kPa).

The atmosphere of Mars consists of about 96% [[w:carbon dioxide|carbon dioxide]], 1.93% [[w:argon|argon]] and 1.89% [[w:nitrogen|nitrogen]] along with traces of [[w:oxygen|oxygen]] and water.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/31|Translations]] are available.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/ContentTranslation|Content Translation]] now supports dark mode, fulfilling a [[m:Community Wishlist/W544|Community Wishlist request]]. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367077]
* DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), templates (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), HTML and parser tags (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), and magic words (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432400]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Readers Growth team]] has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
* The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists feature]], with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh|Explore Feed Refresh]] initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427201]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* After running several [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]] to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on [[Special:CreateAccount|Create Account]] has been rolled out. It includes [[:c:File:Create account - July 2026 updates.png|a popover summarizing the username policy]] to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-helpusername&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-help&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; that several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430604]
* Later this week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror syntax highlighter]] will offer [[w:en:Theme (computing)|themes]]. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#CodeMirror preferences|CodeMirror preferences]] dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing]]) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163533]
* From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the &quot;User&quot; namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgRestrictUserPageEditing|Read the configuration documentation]] to learn more.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] has developed a [https://82db7c8d4b.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=Regent%27s_Park&amp;uselang=de patch demo] that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429518]
* The Reader Experience team is planning to launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]], a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Mobile and apps/Have Apps reading lists available on Destop/Mobile|Community Wishlist item]], which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-readinglists&amp;filter=&amp;action=translate string translations] into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia.
* Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332644]

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429326]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323698]
* The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358266]

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] A new ChartWizard is [[c:Special:ChartWizard/Data:Example.Pie.chart|now available on Wikimedia Commons]] for users interested in creating charts from their own data. The wizard makes the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] more beginner-friendly by allowing editors to create charts, such as bar and pie charts, without needing to use JSON. Users can still switch to the JSON editor if they prefer. Feedback on the new tool is welcome on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist/W414|wish talk page]].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430692]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Math|Math formula]] SVG images will soon be generated in the browser instead of on the server. MathML continues to be generated on the server and renders in the browser without JavaScript. Wikibooks will see this change on 12 August, Wikisource on 19 August and Wikipedia from 20-27 August. You can try this by selecting &quot;{{int:Mw-math-mathjax}}&quot; in your preferences. This change is part of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RESTBase/deprecation|deprecating RESTBase]] and [[phab:T431372|deprecating Mathoid]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271001]
* Category pages will soon support sorting entries by the time they are added to a category. This will make it easier to find recently or long-standing categorized pages. It will also improve workflows for maintenance categories such as deletion backlogs and other time-based review tasks. You can use &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;cldsort=timestamp&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; URL argument in category view to sort the entries. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T433768]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Gadgets|Gadgets]] and user scripts on Wikimedia wikis may now use [[phab:T395347|ES2018 features]] and [[phab:T419142|ES2019 features]] in JavaScript code. Previously, the platform only allowed up to ES2017. MediaWiki validates the source code to protect functionality from syntax errors and to ensure scripts are valid in all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Compatibility#Browser_support_matrix|supported browsers]].

      <text bytes="5296" sha1="923omcchorx117c4ndc4c3zf9cvlf4s" xml:space="preserve">Many of the functions that arise naturally in mathematics and real world applications can be extended to and regarded as complex functions, meaning the input, as well as the output, can be complex numbers &lt;math&gt;x+iy&lt;/math&gt;, where &lt;math&gt;i=\sqrt{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, in such a way that it is a more natural object to study. '''Complex analysis''', which used to be known as '''function theory''' or '''theory of functions of a single complex variable''', is a sub-field of analysis that studies such functions (more specifically, '''holomorphic''' functions) on the complex plane, or part (domain) or extension (Riemann surface) thereof. It notably has great importance in number theory, e.g. the [[Riemann zeta function]] (for the distribution of primes) and other &lt;math&gt;L&lt;/math&gt;-functions, modular forms, elliptic functions, etc. &lt;blockquote&gt;The shortest path between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex domain.  — [[wikipedia:Jacques_Hadamard|Jacques Hadamard]]&lt;/blockquote&gt;In a certain sense, the essence of complex functions is captured by the principle of [[analytic continuation]].{{mathematics}}

      <text bytes="882" sha1="hpgsozlhj6eh0dpz2s7wii8z9vd8fxb" xml:space="preserve">A differential equation &lt;math&gt; y'=f(t,y(t)) &lt;/math&gt; is a first order differential equation. When placed in the form &lt;math&gt;  y'+p(t)y=g(t) &lt;/math&gt; where &lt;math&gt; p(t) &lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt; g(t) &lt;/math&gt;  are functions defined on an interval &lt;math&gt; a&lt;t&lt;b &lt;/math&gt; is called a first order linear differential equation. 

For example: 
* &lt;math&gt; y'+3y=t &lt;/math&gt; where &lt;math&gt; p(t) = 3 &lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt; g(t) = t &lt;/math&gt;
* For &lt;math&gt; e^{t}y'+3y=sin(t) &lt;/math&gt; we divide through by &lt;math&gt; e^{t} &lt;/math&gt; to place the equation in the proper form and &lt;math&gt; y'+\frac{3}{e^t}y=\frac{sin(t)}{e^{t}} &lt;/math&gt; &lt;math&gt; p(t) = 3e^{-t} &lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt; g(t) = sin(t)e^{-t} &lt;/math&gt;

Method

== Problems ==
Determine the equilibrium solutions of the following differential equations:

# &lt;math&gt;\frac {dy}{dt} = \frac {(t^3-2)(y^2-8)}{y^-2}&lt;/math&gt;
# &lt;math&gt;\frac {dy}{dt}= \frac {y+ 8}{2-y}&lt;/math&gt;

'''Recent changes'''
* You can now put pages on your watchlist for a limited period of time. Some wikis already had this function. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Watchlist_Expiry][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist_expiry]

'''Changes later this week'''
* Information from Wikidata that is used on a wiki page can be shown in recent changes and watchlists on a Wikimedia wiki.

'''Future changes'''
* You can vote on proposals in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021|Community Wishlist Survey]] between 8 December and 21 December. The survey decides what the [[m:Community Tech|Community Tech team]] will work on.

'''Tech News'''
* Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.

'''Recent changes'''
* The &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{citation needed}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270107]

'''Changes later this week'''
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

'''Future changes'''
* You can [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation/Ideas|propose and discuss]] what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
* Some wikis use [[mw:Writing systems/LanguageConverter|LanguageConverter]] to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;langconvert&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263082]
*  Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in [[Special:AbuseLog|Special:AbuseLog]]. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260904]

'''Recent changes'''
* You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the [[:w:en:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]]. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T12729]
* You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269761]
* Admins can use the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filter tool]] to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
** The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187686]
** [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Oversighters|Oversighters]] can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on [[Special:AbuseLog]]. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260904]
** When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is &quot;throttled&quot;. The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this &quot;throttle&quot;.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] There is a new tool to [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/add build new skins]. You can also [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/ see] existing [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Skins|skins]]. You can [[mw:User talk:Jdlrobson|give feedback]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-December/094130.html]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the &lt;code&gt;watchlist&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;watch&lt;/code&gt; will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258108]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto's]] [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#File metadata|file metadata]] now includes length. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209679]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[:w:en:CSS|CSS]] and [[:w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] code pages now have link anchors to [https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/40e4795d4448b55a6d8c46ff414bcf78/w/index.php/MediaWiki:En.js#L-125 line numbers]. You can use wikilinks like [[:w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T29531]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] There was a [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.25|new version]] of MediaWiki last week. You can read [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.25/Changelog|a detailed log]] of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.26|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-01-12|en}}.

* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]] posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage.

'''Problems'''
* [[:w:en:IPv6|IPv6 addresses]] were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272225]

'''Changes later this week'''
* You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138332]
* Often editors use a &quot;non-breaking space&quot; to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96666]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=| Advanced item]] Wikis use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filters]] to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like &lt;code&gt;1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55&lt;/code&gt; as well as the &lt;code&gt;1.2.3.4/27&lt;/code&gt; syntax for IP ranges.

* [[mw:Skin:Minerva Neue|Minerva]] is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap.

'''Recent changes'''
* Wikis that are part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|desktop improvements]] project can now use a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features/Search|search function]]. The desktop improvements and the new search will come to more wikis later. You can also [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements#Deployment plan and timeline|test it early]].
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Editors who put up banners or change site-wide [[:w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] code should use the [https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000566/overview?viewPanel=16&amp;orgId=1 client error graph] to see that their changes has not caused problems. You can [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/03/08/sailing-steady%e2%80%8a-%e2%80%8ahow-you-can-help-keep-wikimedia-sites-error-free read more]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T276296]

'''Problems'''
* Due to [[phab:T276968|database issues]] the [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org Wikimedia Beta Cluster] was read-only for over a day.

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.34|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-16|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-17|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-18|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* You can add a [[:w:en:Newline|newline]] or [[:w:en:Carriage return|carriage return]] character to a custom signature if you use a template. There is a proposal to not allow them in the future. This is because they can cause formatting problems. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_requirements_for_user_signatures#Additional_proposal_(2021)][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272322]
* You will be able to read but not edit [[phab:T276899|12 wikis]] for a short period of time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210323T06 {{#time:j xg|2021-03-23|en}} at 06:00 (UTC)]. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can use [https://quarry.wmflabs.org/ Quarry] for [[:w:en:SQL|SQL]] queries to the [[wikitech:Wiki replicas|Wiki Replicas]]. Cross-database &lt;code&gt;JOINS&lt;/code&gt; will no longer work from 23 March. There will be a new field to specify the database to connect to. If you think this affects you and you need help you can [[phab:T268498|post on Phabricator]] or on [[wikitech:Talk:News/Wiki Replicas 2020 Redesign|Wikitech]]. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/PAWS PAWS] and other ways to do [[:w:en:SQL|SQL]] queries to the Wiki Replicas will be affected later.

'''Recent changes'''
* There is a [[mw:Wikipedia for KaiOS|Wikipedia app]] for [[:w:en:KaiOS|KaiOS]] phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a [https://wikimedia.github.io/wikipedia-kaios/sim.html simulator] so you can see what it looks like.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Replying|reply tool]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/New discussion|new discussion tool]] are now available as the &quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-label}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.

'''Problems'''
* You will be able to read but not edit [[phab:T276899|twelve wikis]] for a short period of time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210323T06 {{#time:j xg|2021-03-23|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} at 06:00 (UTC)]. This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.36|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-23|en}}.

* [[:w:en:Syntax highlighting|Syntax highlighting]] colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the [[phab:T276346|first wikis]]. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Improved_Color_Scheme_of_Syntax_Highlighting]

'''Future changes'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|Flagged revisions]] will no longer have multiple tags like &quot;tone&quot; or &quot;depth&quot;. It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185664][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277883]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript. In 2015 this was moved from &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;wg*&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.config&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;wg*&lt;/code&gt; will soon no longer work.

'''Recent changes'''
* Some very old [[:w:en:Web browser|web browsers]] [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Compatibility|don’t work]] well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277803]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[:m:IRC/Channels#Raw_feeds|IRC recent changes feeds]] have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to &lt;code&gt;irc.wikimedia.org&lt;/code&gt; and not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern [[:wikitech:Event Platform/EventStreams|EventStreams]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224579]

'''Problems'''
* When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a [[:w:en:Job queue|job queue]] problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278350]
* Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274940]

* Editors can collapse part of an article so you have to click on it to see it. When you click a link to a section inside collapsed content it will now expand to show the section.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid|citoid]] [[:w:en:API|API]] will use for example &lt;code&gt;2010-12-XX&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;2010-12&lt;/code&gt; for dates with a month but no days. This is because &lt;code&gt;2010-12&lt;/code&gt; could be confused with &lt;code&gt;2010-2012&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;December 2010&lt;/code&gt;. This is called level 1 instead of level 0 in the [https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/ Extended Date/Time Format]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132308]

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T279303][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275294]
* If you use [[Mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|syntax highlighting]], you can see line numbers in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors when editing templates. This is to make it easier to see line breaks or talk about specific lines. Line numbers will soon come to all namespaces.

* The Wikimedia movement has been using [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC|IRC]] on a network called [[:w:en:Freenode|Freenode]]. There have been changes around who is in control of the network. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] have [[m:Special:Diff/21476411|decided]] to move to the new [[:w:en:Libera Chat|Libera Chat]] network instead. This is not a formal decision for the movement to move all channels but most Wikimedia IRC channels will probably leave Freenode. There is a [[:m:IRC/Migrating_to_Libera_Chat|migration guide]] and ongoing Wikimedia [[m:Wikimedia Forum#Freenode (IRC)|discussions about this]].

* The Wikimedia movement uses [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator|Phabricator]] for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/YAXOD46INJLAODYYIJUVQWOZFIV54VUI/][https://admin.phacility.com/phame/post/view/11/phacility_is_winding_down_operations/][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283980]
* Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct [[:w:en:Diacritic|diacritics]] because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for &lt;code&gt;Bedusz&lt;/code&gt; doesn't find &lt;code&gt;Będusz&lt;/code&gt; on German Wikipedia. The character &lt;code&gt;ę&lt;/code&gt; isn't used in German so many would write &lt;code&gt;e&lt;/code&gt; instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219550]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[:w:en:Cross-site request forgery|CSRF token parameters]] in the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page|action API]] were changed in 2014.

* Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|advanced mobile mode]]. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284763]

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] If your wiki uses markup like &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-rtl&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; without the required &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;dir&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at [[phab:T287701|T287701]]. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-rtl&quot; dir=&quot;rtl&quot; lang=&quot;he&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as &lt;code&gt;span&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;code&lt;/code&gt;. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at [[phab:T287701|T287701]].
* Reminder: Wikimedia has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC/Migrating to Libera Chat|migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network]], from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

'''Problems'''
* Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly.

This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285510]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.17|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-03|en}}.

'''Future changes'''
* The [[mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android|team of the Wikipedia app for Android]] is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Communication|read more]].

Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
* The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Beta Feature]] for {{int:discussiontools-preference-label}} will be updated in the coming weeks.  You will be able to [[mw:Talk pages project/Notifications|subscribe to individual sections]] on a talk page at more wikis.  You can test this now by adding &lt;code&gt;?dtenable=1&lt;/code&gt; to the end of the talk page's URL ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta_talk:Sandbox?dtenable=1 example]).

'''Changes later this week'''
* A [[mw:Help:Tags|revision tag]] will soon be added to edits that add links to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Disambiguator|disambiguation pages]].

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break.

* Last year, the Portuguese Wikipedia community embarked on an experiment to make log-in compulsory for editing.  The [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Impact report for Login Required Experiment on Portuguese Wikipedia|impact report of this trial]] is ready. Moving forward, the Anti-Harassment Tools team is looking for projects that are willing to experiment with restricting IP editing on their wiki for a short-term experiment.

'''Recent changes'''
* 45 new Wikipedias now have access to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature summary|Growth features]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289680]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Deployment table|A majority of Wikipedias]] now have access to the Growth features.

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.23|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-14|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-15|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-16|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* Starting this week, Wikipedia in Italian will receive weekly software updates on Wednesdays. It used to receive the updates on Thursdays. Due to this change, bugs will be noticed and fixed sooner. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286664]
* You can add language links in the sidebar in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|the new Vector skin]] again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287206]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:SyntaxHighlight|syntax highlight]] tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;golang&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; can now be used as an alias for the [[d:Q37227|Go programming language]], and a special &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;output&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; mode has been added to show a program's output.

'''Recent changes'''
* Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. [[phab:T290582|For the majority of small Wikipedias]], the features are only available for experienced users, to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/FAQ#enable|test the features]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/FAQ#config|configure them]]. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
* MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which &quot;stubs&quot; would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284917]
* A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping [[m:User:Jon (WMF)|Jon (WMF)]] on wiki or in [[phab:T290888|phabricator]] if any problems are reported.

'''Problems'''
* There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-09-13_cirrussearch_restart]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/wmf.1|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-21|en}}.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[s:Special:ApiHelp/query+proofreadinfo|meta=proofreadpage API]] has changed. The &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;piprop&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; parameter has been renamed to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;prpiprop&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290585]

'''Future changes'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Replying|Reply tool]] will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks.  It is currently part of &quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-label}}&quot; in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Beta features]] at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion|Editing Preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262331]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki_1.37/Deprecation_of_legacy_API_token_parameters|previously announced]] change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow [[phab:T291202|T291202]] for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[w:en:IOS|iOS 15]] has a new function called [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212614 Private Relay] (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use [[w:en:Safari (software)|Safari]] browser. This is like using a [[w:en:Virtual private network|VPN]] in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for [[w:en:ICloud|iCloud]]. It will come to Safari users on [[:w:en:OSX|OSX]] later. There is a [[phab:T289795|technical discussion]] about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the [[m:Customization:Explaining_skins#Portlets|portlets]] (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;.vector-menu-dropdown-noicon&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Onboarding_new_Wikipedians#New_experience|GettingStarted extension]] was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235752]
* A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old [[:w:en:root certificate|root certificate]] will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS/2021 Let's Encrypt root expiry|read more]].
* You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Notifications|receive notifications]] when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment.

'''Recent changes'''
* Mobile IP editors are now able to receive warning notices indicating they have a talk page message on the mobile website (similar to the orange banners available on desktop). These notices will be displayed on every page outside of the main namespace and every time the user attempts to edit. The notice on desktop now has a slightly different colour.

* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

'''Future changes'''
* In the future, unregistered editors will be given an identity that is not their [[:w:en:IP address|IP address]]. This is for legal reasons. A new user right will let editors who need to know the IPs of unregistered accounts to fight vandalism, spam, and harassment, see the IP.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2022/09|Translations]] are available.

'''Recent changes'''
* When searching for edits by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tags|change tags]], e.g. in page history or user contributions, there is now a dropdown list of possible tags. This was [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Miscellaneous/Improve plain-text change tag selector|a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T27909]
* Mentors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Mentor_dashboard|Growth Mentor dashboard]] will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301268][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294460]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The user group &lt;code&gt;oversight&lt;/code&gt; was renamed &lt;code&gt;suppress&lt;/code&gt;. This is for [[phab:T109327|technical reasons]]. You may need to update any local references to the old name, e.g. gadgets, links to Special:Listusers, or uses of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words|NUMBERINGROUP]].

'''Problems'''
* The recent change to the HTML of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tracking changes|tracking changes]] pages caused some problems for screenreaders. This is being fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298638]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/wmf.24|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-01|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-02|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-03|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* Working with templates will become easier. [[m:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Templates|Several improvements]] are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
* If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox&lt;/code&gt;), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at [[phab:T300314]] if you think you might be affected.

'''Problems'''
* There was a problem with the collection of some page-view data from June 2021 to January 2022 on all wikis. This means the statistics are incomplete. To help calculate which projects and regions were most affected, relevant datasets are being retained for 30 extra days. You can [[m:Talk:Data_retention_guidelines#Added_exception_for_page_views_investigation|read more on Meta-wiki]].
* There was a problem with the databases on March 10. All wikis were unreachable for logged-in users for 12 minutes. Logged-out users could read pages but could not edit or access uncached content then. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2022-03-10_MediaWiki_availability]

'''Recent changes'''
* The system for automatically creating categories for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Babel|Babel]] extension has had several important changes and fixes. One of them allows you to insert templates for automatic category descriptions on creation, allowing you to categorize the new categories. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211665][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T64714][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170654][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184941][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T33074]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/wmf.3|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-04-04|en}}.

* Some older [[w:en:Web browser|Web browsers]] will stop being able to use [[w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] on Wikimedia wikis from this week. This mainly affects users of Internet Explorer 11. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can try to upgrade to a newer version. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178356]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The deprecated &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jquery.hoverIntent&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; module has been removed. This module could be used by gadgets and user scripts, to create an artificial delay in how JavaScript responds to a hover event. Gadgets and user scripts should now use jQuery &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;hover()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;on()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; instead. Examples can be found in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Migration_guide_(users)#jquery.hoverIntent|migration guide]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T311194]

There will also be a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;.mw-archivedtalk&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; CSS class for hiding the Reply button in individual sections on a page.

'''Future changes'''
* The Vega software that creates data visualizations in pages, such as graphs, will be upgraded to the newest version in the future. Graphs that still use the very old version 1.5 syntax may stop working properly. Most existing uses have been found and updated, but you can help to check, and to update any local documentation. [[phab:T260542|Examples of how to find and fix these graphs are available]].

'''Problems'''
* For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__TOC__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is [[mw:Parsoid/Deployments/T336101_followup|a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki]], that may still need to be fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336101]
* Currently, the &quot;{{int:Visualeditor-dialog-meta-categories-defaultsort-label}}&quot; feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{DEFAULTSORT:...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337398]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts.

* VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki-config/browse/master/dblists/large.dblist large] wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.

'''Recent changes'''
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Data Across Wikimedia/Section-level Image Suggestions|Section-level Image Suggestions feature]] has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global AbuseFilter|Global abuse filters]] have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a [[:m:Requests for comment/Make global abuse filters opt-out|global request for comments]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341159]
* [[{{#special:BlockedExternalDomains}}]] is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the [[MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist|MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist]], but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist|MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:BlockedExternalDomains|the tool's documentation]]. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337431]
* The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats?group=ext-wikieditor&amp;messages=&amp;x=D#sortable:0=asc the state of WikiEditor localization into your language], and if the &quot;Completion&quot; for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation.

* The Structured Content team, as part of its project of [[:commons:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Upload Wizard Improvements|improving UploadWizard on Commons]], made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work ([[phab:T347590|T347590]]), as well as to the licensing step for own work ([[phab:T347756|T347756]]).
* The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of [[wmdoc:codex/latest/|Codex]], the new design system for Wikimedia. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Design_Systems_Team/Announcing_Codex_1.0|full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0]].

* Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a [[:w:en:International Components for Unicode|library]]. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Technical Operations/ICU announcement|read more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T345561][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T267145]

'''Future changes'''
* [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/ReferencePreviews#24WPs|24 Wikipedias]] with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference_Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]] as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference_Previews|Reference Previews]] the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/ReferencePreviews#46WPs|46 Wikipedias]] with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/ReferencePreviews#Reference Previews to become the default for previewing references on more wikis.|unless there are concerns]]. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings.

'''Recent changes'''
* On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344214]
* If you use the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|user-preference]] &quot;{{int:tog-uselivepreview}}&quot;, then the template-page feature &quot;{{int:Templatesandbox-editform-legend}}&quot; will now also work without reloading the page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136907]
* [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Extension:Kartographer|Kartographer]] maps can now specify an alternative text via the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;alt=&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute.

An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328137]
* The old [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GuidedTour|Guided Tour]] for the &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review|New Filters for Edit Review]]&quot; feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217451]

'''Recent changes'''
* People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#11_June_2024|Edit check]] for more details. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366751]
* The new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CommunityConfiguration|Community Configuration extension]] is available [[testwiki:Special:CommunityConfiguration|on Test Wikipedia]]. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community_configuration#Use_cases|Community Configuration use cases]] in the future. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323811][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T360954]
* The dark mode [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility_for_reading|project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366370]

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2024-06-11_WMCS_Ceph]
* Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, [[phab:T367463|report them here]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367480]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/wmf.10|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-18|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-19|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-20|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/Roadmap|calendar]]). [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]
* Starting June 18, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Edit Check]] will be deployed to [[phab:T361843|a new set of Wikipedias]]. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#Reference_Check_A/B_Test|a test at 11 wikis]], the number of citations added [https://diff.wikimedia.org/?p=127553 more than doubled] when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Configuration|community configurable]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361843]&lt;!-- NOTE: THE DIFF BLOG WILL BE PUBLISHED ON MONDAY --&gt;
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mailing_lists|Mailing lists]] will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367521]

'''Recent changes'''
* Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading|on the project talkpage]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361717]
* The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366515]

'''Problems'''
* You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk pages permalinking|copy permanent links to talk page comments]] by clicking on a comment's timestamp. [[mw:Talk pages project/Permalinks|This feature]] did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356196]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/wmf.11|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-25|en}}.

* Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere.

'''Recent changes'''
* Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Reading/Dark_mode|top-requested community wishes]], and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility_for_reading/Updates#June_2024:_Typography_and_dark_mode_deployments,_new_global_preferences|the latest Web team update]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366364]
* Logged-in users can now set [[m:Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering-skin-skin-prefs|global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode]], thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341278] 
* If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new [[d:Q46441|CSS]] features and to send less code to all readers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288287][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:How_to_make_a_MediaWiki_skin#Using_CSS_variables_for_supporting_different_themes_e.g._dark_mode]
* Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]]. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366458]
* Editors interested in language issues that are related to [[w:en:Unicode|Unicode standards]], can now discuss those topics at [[mw:Talk:WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org]]. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|member of the Unicode Consortium]], and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q2891049|Mandailing]] ([[w:btm:|&lt;code&gt;w:btm:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368038] 

'''Problems'''
* Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368119]

'''Future changes'''
* Please [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/758713?lang=en help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey].

'''Recent changes'''
* At the Wikimedia Foundation a new task force was formed to replace the disabled Graph with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project|more secure, easy to use, and extensible Chart]]. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Chart Project|subscribe to the newsletter]] to get notified about new project updates and other news about Chart.
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment_status|CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki]]. 
* Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits#Add an image|Add an Image]] feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
* Thank you to [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth/Celebration|all of the authors]] who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth|percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year]], which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

'''Problems'''
* A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, [[phab:T367982|has been fixed]]. 

'''Future changes'''
* The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit|Gerrit]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]], due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the [[mw:GitLab/Migration status|Migration status]] page.
* The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal#Joining the PTAC as a technical volunteer|Please apply here by August 10]].
* Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Anti Vandalism|Edit Patrol]] features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android#Contact us|you can contact the team]]. You can [[diffblog:2024/07/10/ِaddressing-vandalism-with-a-tap-the-journey-of-introducing-the-patrolling-feature-in-the-mobile-app/|read more about this project on Diff blog]].
* Editors who have access to [[m:Special:MyLanguage/The_Wikipedia_Library|The Wikipedia Library]] can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation [[phab:T368865|contacted]] them to restore access. You can read more about [[m:Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks|this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week]]. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* This week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-07 deployments|dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias]], both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations for dark mode compatibility]] to help.

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|share your opinions and questions on the project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T348895]
* Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Cross-wiki upload|Commons:Cross-wiki upload]] and [[c:Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Deactivate cross-wiki uploads for new users|discussion at Commons:Village Pump]].

'''Feature News'''
* Stewards can now [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_blocks|globally block]] accounts. Before [[phab:T17294|the change]] only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_locks|Global locks]] (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
* Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]] (also known as &quot;Pending Changes&quot;) is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Wikimedia's design system]]. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MinervaNeue|Minerva skin]] was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]] by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191156]
*  Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via [[m:Special:GlobalVanishRequest|GlobalVanishRequest]]. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367329]
* Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone?

* Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the [https://doc.wikimedia.org/generated-data-platform/aqs/analytics-api/reference/commons.html Commons Impact Metrics] analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons.

'''Project Updates'''
*  Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist|Community Wishlist]]. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

* Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/31|Translations]] are available.

'''Feature news'''
* Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|project talkpage]].

'''Bugs status'''
* Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. [[phab:T370304|These errors]] were mainly due to the addition of new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Linter|linter]] rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
* Editors can use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Information tool]] to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks#2024-07-25|28 other community-submitted tasks]] that were resolved last week.

'''Project updates'''
* There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can [[phab:phame/post/view/316/iterative_improvements/|read details about these and other improvements in this summary]].
* There is an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|update on the Charts project]]. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} in [[d:Q9056|Czech]] ([[voy:cs:|&lt;code&gt;voy:cs:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370905]

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Two new parser functions will be available this week: &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#dir|#dir]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#bcp47|#bcp47]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. These will reduce the need for &lt;code&gt;Template:Dir&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Template:BCP47&lt;/code&gt; on Commons and allow us to [[phab:T343131|drop 100 million rows]] from the &quot;what links here&quot; database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T359761][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366623]
* Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance ''Wikipedia:'' or ''Wikisource:'' namespaces) if they understand the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/FAQ#WPNS|known limitations]]. For discussions, users can already use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]] in these namespaces.
* The tracking category &quot;Pages using Timeline&quot; has been renamed to &quot;Pages using the EasyTimeline extension&quot; [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3ATimeline-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 in TranslateWiki]. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

'''Project updates'''
* Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/WikiProjects|a brief survey]] or share your thoughts [[m:Talk:Campaigns/WikiProjects|on the talkpage]]. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The new parser is being rolled out on {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} wikis over the next few months. The {{int:project-localized-name-enwikivoyage}} and {{int:project-localized-name-hewikivoyage}} were [[phab:T365367|switched]] to Parsoid last week.

* Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Sub-referencing in a nutshell|sub-referencing]] feature. You can read more [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|about the project]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Test|how to test the prototype]].
* Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Aintersection-category&amp;namespace=8 DynamicPageList], [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Akartographer-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 Kartographer], [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Aphonos-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 Phonos], [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Arss-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 RSS], [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Ascore-use-category&amp;namespace=8 Score], [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3Awikihiero-usage-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 WikiHiero].

'''Bugs status'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with &lt;code&gt;Talk:WP:&lt;/code&gt; so that their titles start with &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia talk:&lt;/code&gt;), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/]]&lt;/bdi&gt; instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in [[phab:P67388]].
* Editors who volunteer as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|mentors]] to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to [[phab:T372164|a bug fix]]. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Project updates'''
* The application deadline for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal|Product &amp; Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Administrators can now test the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|share your opinions and questions on the project talk page]].
* Later this week, editors at wikis that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]] (also known as &quot;Pending Changes&quot;) may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191156]

'''Bugs status'''
* Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will [[phab:T361465|no longer]] experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Project updates'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Please review and vote on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Focus areas|Focus Areas]], which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
* Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Outreachy|Outreachy]] is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

'''Feature news'''
* Starting this week, the standard [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|syntax highlighter]] will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|help page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T365311][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;entity:getSitelink()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from [[m:Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects/Projects/Watchlist Wikidata Sitelinks Tracking|inconsistent sitelinks tracking]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T295356]

'''Project updates'''
*  Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370962]
* Contributors of [[phab:T363538#10123348|11 Wikipedias]], including English will have a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS:&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; (usually shortcuts to the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]) are not broken by [[w:en:Mooré|Mooré]] Wikipedia (language code &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mos&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;).

'''Improvements and Maintenance'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Focus areas/Template recall and discovery|Template recall and discovery]], and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist|new wishes]].
* The new automated [[{{#special:NamespaceInfo}}]] page helps editors understand which [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces|namespaces]] exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263513]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|References Check]] is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag &quot;Edit Check (references) activated&quot; was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373692]
* It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|request]] a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373480]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's [[wikitech:Portal:Data Services#ToolsDB|public databases]] from both [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry|Quarry]] and [[wikitech:Superset|Superset]]. Those databases have always been accessible to every [[wikitech:Portal:Toolforge|Toolforge]] user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry#Querying Quarry's own database|queried from Quarry itself]]. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and {{formatnum:20}} other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].
* Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw-message-box&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=mw-message-box&amp;regex=1&amp;namespaces=&amp;title= global-search] to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;cdx-message&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; group of classes as a replacement (see [https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/components/demos/message.html#css-only-version the relevant Codex documentation], and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/Header&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=27449042 an example update]), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374499]

'''Technical project updates'''
* Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|This maintenance process also targets other services.]] The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370962]

'''Tech in depth'''

'''Weekly highlight'''
* All wikis will be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Add alt text from a halfsheet, with the article behind.png|thumb|A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature]]
* Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|Alt Text suggested-edit experiment]] after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project#Hypothesis 2 Add an Image Suggested Edit|Add an image]]&quot;. Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on [[mw:Talk:Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|the discussion page]].
* The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Design System Team/Color/Design documentation#Updates|most noticeable changes]] for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;syntaxhighlight&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368166]
* Two bugs were fixed in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Account vanishing|GlobalVanishRequest]] system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370595][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T372223]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] From [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise|Wikimedia Enterprise]]: 
** The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api/ the project's blog post]. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
** The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/structured-contents-snapshot-api/ blog post on that]) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/hugging-face-dataset/ blog post on that]). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

'''In depth'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split|WDQS Graph Split project]], we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the &quot;[https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org scholarly]&quot; and &quot;[https://query-main.wikidata.org main]&quot; subgraphs of Wikidata. The [http://query.wikidata.org query.wikidata.org endpoint] will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/September 2024 scaling update|the announcement on Wikidata]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* Readers of [[phab:T375401|42 more wikis]] can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the [https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ night-mode-checker tool] if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations page]] provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
* Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;?veaction=editsource&lt;/code&gt; to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in [[Special:Preferences#mw-input-wpvisualeditor-newwikitext|your preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239796]
* For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the &quot;donate&quot; link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to &quot;Create an account&quot;. This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. [[mw:Readers/2024 Reader and Donor Experiences#Donor Experiences (Key Result WE 3.2 and the related hypotheses)|Learn more]] about the changes related to donor experiences. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373585]
* The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|enabled]] on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. [[w:zh:Wikipedia:互助客栈/其他#引進CampaignEvents擴充功能|Chinese Wikipedia has decided]] to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress [[w:es:Wikipedia:Votaciones/2024/Sobre la política de Organizadores de Eventos|on Spanish Wikipedia]] and [[d:Wikidata:Project chat#Enabling the CampaignEvents Extention on Wikidata|on Wikidata]].

* View all {{formatnum:22}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:22|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should [[wikitech:Wikitech/SUL-migration|check if any action is required]] for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

'''In depth'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|server switch]] was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Past Switches|only 2 minutes 46 seconds]]. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/66ZW7B2MG63AESQVTXDIFQBDBS766JGW/]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]], which is used on any regular talk page. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions/Deprecation#Deprecation timeline|A first set of wikis]] are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Structured_Discussions/Deprecation][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370722]
* WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A [[phab:T332342|change last week]] on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''hastemplate''&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''incategory''&lt;/bdi&gt; keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available.

* View all {{formatnum:20}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:20|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|EditCheck]] was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editors who use the Toolforge tool [[toolforge:copyvios|Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector]] will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the &quot;search engine&quot; option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Authentication_is_now_required_for_search_engine_checks_on_Earwig's_Copyvio_Tool]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator|Phabricator]] users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator/Help#Using email|Sending email to Phabricator]] has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356077]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;bdi&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Stable interface policy/Frontend#What is not stable?|not recommended]] and might break at any time.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Mobile Apps team has released an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh#Phase 1: Creating a user Profile Menu (T373714)|update]] to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the &quot;Donate&quot; button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh|navigation refresh]] to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
[[File:IOS App Navigation refresh first phase 05.png|thumb|iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents]]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments|Content Discovery Experiments page]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Web team's projects|subscribe to their newsletter]].
* Later this month, logged-out editors of [[phab:T376499|these 12 wikis]] will start to have [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/User account types|type of user account]]. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|Guidance on how to update the code is available]]. Read more about the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|deployment plan across all wikis]].
* View all {{formatnum:33}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:33|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the [[w:nr:Main Page|South Ndebele]], [[w:rsk:Главни бок|Pannonian Rusyn]], [[w:ann:Uwu|Obolo]], [[w:iba:Lambar Keterubah|Iban]] and [[w:tdd:ᥞᥨᥝᥴ ᥘᥣᥲ ᥖᥥᥰ|Tai Nüa]] Wikipedia languages were created last week. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36785][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35660][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36614][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33424][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36556]
* It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new [[f:Z6005|Wikidata lexeme type]] launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2024-10-17#Function of the Week: select representation from lexeme|the latest Wikifunctions newsletter]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef|#timef]]:…}}&lt;/code&gt; parser function. For example, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will show as &quot;&lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/bdi&gt;&quot;. Previously, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#time:…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timef&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timefl&lt;/code&gt; for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223772][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Commons and Meta users can now efficiently [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#Localization|retrieve the user's language]] using &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{USERLANGUAGE}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; instead of using &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{int:lang}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T4085]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Tech Advisory Council]] (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the [[Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Initiatives/Technology Council|Movement Strategy's Technology Council]] initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Two new parser functions were added this week. The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interwikilink|#interwikilink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interwiki links|interwiki link]] and the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interlanguagelink|#interlanguagelink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage link]]. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS:&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; on English Wikipedia [[phab:T363538|conflict with the &lt;code&gt;mos&lt;/code&gt; language code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia]].
* Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the [[wikitech:HTTPS/Browser_Recommendations|HTTPS Browser Recommendations page]] for more-detailed information. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/CTYEHVNSXUD3NFAAMG3BLZVTVQWJXJAH/]
* Starting December 16, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: &lt;bdi&gt;arwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;cawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;frwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;mediawikiwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;orwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wawiktionary&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wikidatawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;zhwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;.

* This month the Chart extension was deployed to production and is now available on Commons and Testwiki. With the security review complete, pilot wiki deployment is expected to start in the first week of December. You can see a working version [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug with the &quot;Download as PDF&quot; system was fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376438]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers/Impacted tools|this list]]. In addition, review the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|updated documentation]] to learn how to adjust the tools. Join the discussions on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|project talk page]] or in the [[discord:channels/221049808784326656/1227616742340034722|dedicated thread]] on the [[w:Wikipedia:Discord|Wikimedia Community Discord server (in English)]] for support and to share feedback.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Documentation|Documentation hub]] on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#wikimedia-techdocs&lt;/bdi&gt; IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please [[mw:Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team#Contact us|contact the Technical Documentation Team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Edit Check on Desktop.png|thumb|Layout change for the Edit Check feature]]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with [[mw:Edit check#1 November 2024|new Checks]] that appear ''while'' they are typing. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#Reference Check A/B Test|initial results]] show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
* The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedias). You can see a working examples [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* Translators in wikis where the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/Section translation#Try the tool|mobile experience of Content Translation is available]], can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the &quot;[https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&amp;campaign=specialcx&amp;filter-type=automatic&amp;filter-id=collections&amp;active-list=suggestions&amp;from=es&amp;to=en All collection]&quot; category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;page-collection&gt; &lt;/page-collection&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translation suggestions: Topic-based &amp; Community-defined lists/How to use the features|the step-by-step guide]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378958]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Nuke]] feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a [[phab:T376379#10310998|multiselect filter for namespace selection]]. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
* The Nuke feature also now [[phab:T364225#10371365|provides links]] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364225#10371365]
* The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|Citoid]] tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveUrl&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveDate&lt;/code&gt;, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACite_web%2Fdoc&amp;diff=1261320172&amp;oldid=1260788022 example of a change in a template], and a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?namespaces=10&amp;q=%5C%22citoid%5C%22%3A%20%5C%7B&amp;regex=1&amp;title= list of all relevant templates]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374831]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} in [[d:Q9240|Indonesian]] ([[voy:id:|&lt;code&gt;voy:id:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380726]
* Last week, all wikis had problems serving pages to logged-in users and some logged-out users for 30–45 minutes. This was caused by a database problem, and investigation is ongoing. [https://www.wikimediastatus.net/incidents/3g2ckc7bp6l9]

For example, a bug in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add Link]] feature has been fixed. Previously, the list of sections which are excluded from Add Link was partially ignored in certain cases. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380455][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380329]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage [[gitiles:design/codex-php|implementation in PHP]]. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through [https://packagist.org/packages/wikimedia/codex Composer], with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in [[wmdoc:design-codex-php/main/index.html|the documentation]]. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379662]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ Wikimedia REST API] users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on [[testwiki:|testwiki]] from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related [[phab:T374683|Phabricator ticket]] before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|RESTBase]] system.
* The [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/986172 2024 Developer Satisfaction Survey] is seeking the opinions of the Wikimedia developer community. Please take the survey if you have any role in developing software for the Wikimedia ecosystem. The survey is open until 3 January 2025, and has an associated [[foundation:Legal:Developer Satisfaction Survey 2024 Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]

'''Meetings and events'''
* The next meeting in the series of [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Commons community calls|Wikimedia Foundation discussions with the Wikimedia Commons community]] will take place on [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12 December 2024 08:00 UTC|December 12 at 8:00 UTC]] and [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12_December 2024 16:00 UTC|at 16:00 UTC]].

To learn more about how to enable this extension on your wiki, visit the [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment status#How to Request the CampaignEvents Extension for your wiki|deployment status page]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review|personalized Year in Review]] with insights based on their reading and editing history.
* Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Rabbit Holes|Rabbit Holes]] feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|global reminder bot]] is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See [[m:Global reminder bot/Technical details|the technical details page]] for more information.
* The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 13 January 2025 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was [[phab:T374988|fixed]] in the Android Wikipedia App which had caused translatable SVG images to show the wrong language when they were tapped.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and a timeline.

'''Updates for editors'''
* On wikis with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments|PageAssessments]] installed, you can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments#Search|filter search results]] to pages in a given WikiProject by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;inproject:&lt;/code&gt; keyword. (These wikis: {{int:project-localized-name-arwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-enwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-enwikivoyage/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-frwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-huwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-newiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-zhwiki/en}}) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378868] 
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q34129|Tigre]] ([[w:tig:|&lt;code&gt;w:tig:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381377]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting [[phab:T374683|some page content endpoints]] from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the [[phab:project/view/6931/|MediaWiki Interfaces Team]] in Phabricator if they arise.
* Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. [[wikitech:Wikimedia Cloud Services team/EnhancementProposals/Toolforge UI|Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI]]. 
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user|OAuth 1]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user 2|OAuth 2]] returned a JSON object with an integer in its &lt;code&gt;sub&lt;/code&gt; field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382139]
* Many wikis currently use [[:mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|Cite CSS]] to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]&lt;/bdi&gt; until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370027]

'''Meetings and events'''
* The next meeting in the series of [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:WMF support for Commons/Commons community calls|Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community]] will take place on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Commons community discussion - 15 January 2025 08:00 UTC|January 15 at 8:00 UTC]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Commons community discussion - 15 January 2025 16:00 UTC|at 16:00 UTC]]. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Extension:Nuke]]. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380846]
* On [[phab:P72148|wikis that use]] the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolled edits|Patrolled edits]] feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as &quot;manually patrolled&quot; instead of &quot;autopatrolled&quot;, which is more accurate. Some editors that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:New filters for edit review/Filtering|filters]] on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302140]

For example, the Visual Editor's &quot;Insert link&quot; feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been [[phab:T383497|fixed]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]], which is used on any regular talk page. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions/Deprecation#Deprecation timeline|The last group of wikis]] ({{int:project-localized-name-cawikiquote/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-fiwikimedia/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-gomwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kabwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-ptwikibooks/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-sewikimedia/en}}) will soon be contacted.

* Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|13 other questions]] to shape the technical direction for next year.

'''Updates for editors'''
* iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review/How your data is used|personalized Year in Review]] feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in [[{{#special:RecentChanges}}]] and [[{{#special:NewPages}}]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56145]
* Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirects#Double redirects|double redirect]]). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326056]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia wikis allow [[w:en:WebAuthn|WebAuthn]]-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Fix security key (WebAuthn) support|fragile]] and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of [[mw:MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3]] (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378402]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''

* For developers that use the [[wikitech:Data Platform/Data Lake/Edits/MediaWiki history dumps|MediaWiki History dumps]]: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mediawiki_user_history&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; dump, the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;anonymous&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; field will be renamed to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;is_anonymous&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/LKMFDS62TXGDN6L56F4ABXYLN7CSCQDI/]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors who use the &quot;Special characters&quot; editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110722]
* Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380438] You can now also insert &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags using a new toolbar button.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383010] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
* Help is needed to ensure the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]] works properly on each wiki.
** (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json&lt;/code&gt; to include entries for &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;preprint&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;standard&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;dataset&lt;/code&gt;; Here are example diffs to replicate [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1189164774&amp;oldid=1165783565 for 'preprint'] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1270832208&amp;oldid=1270828390 for 'standard' and 'dataset'].

(2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The &quot;Special pages&quot; portlet link will be moved from the &quot;Toolbox&quot; into the &quot;Navigation&quot; section of the main menu's sidebar by default. This change is because the Toolbox is intended for tools relating to the current page, not tools relating to the site, so the link will be more logically and consistently located. To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at [[phab:T385346|T385346]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333211]
* As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments#Experiment 1: Display article recommendations in more prominent locations, search|the project page]] for more information.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion prefers-reduced-motion]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-transparency prefers-reduced-transparency]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-contrast prefers-contrast]&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/forced-colors forced-colors]&lt;/code&gt;).

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Wikidata [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Default values for labels and aliases|now supports a special language as a &quot;default for all languages&quot;]] for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312511]
* The function &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;getDescription&lt;/code&gt; was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383660]
* As part of the RESTBase deprecation [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|effort]], the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/related&lt;/code&gt; endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions. The stable alternative is the &quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;morelike&lt;/code&gt;&quot; action API in MediaWiki, and [[gerrit:c/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/982154/13/pagelib/src/transform/FooterReadMore.js|a migration example]] is available. The MediaWiki Interfaces team [[phab:T376297|can be contacted]] for any questions.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Communities using growth tools can now showcase one event on the &lt;code&gt;{{#special:Homepage}}&lt;/code&gt; for newcomers. This feature will help newcomers to be informed about editing activities they can participate in. Administrators can create a new event to showcase at &lt;code&gt;{{#special:CommunityConfiguration}}&lt;/code&gt;. To learn more about this feature, please read [[diffblog:2025/02/12/community-updates-module-connecting-newcomers-to-your-initiatives/|the Diff post]], have a look [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Community updates module|at the documentation]], or contact [[mw:Talk:Growth|the Growth team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Page Frame Features on desktop.png|thumb|Highlighted talk pages improvements]]
* Starting next week, talk pages at these wikis – {{int:project-localized-name-eswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-frwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-itwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-jawiki/en}} – will get [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|a new design]]. This change was extensively tested as a Beta feature and is the last step of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary|talk pages improvements]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379102]
* You can now navigate to view a redirect page directly from its action pages, such as the history page. Previously, you were forced to first go to the redirect target. This change should help editors who work with redirects a lot. Thanks to user stjn for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T5324]
* When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like &quot;1.23&quot; or localized alphabetic markers like &quot;a b c&quot; in the reference list. Previously, if there were so many reuses that the alphabetic markers were all used, [[MediaWiki:Cite error references no backlink label|an error message]] was displayed.  As part of the work to [[phab:T383036|modernize Cite customization]], these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like &quot;1.23&quot; once the alphabetic markers are all used.
* The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can [[phab:T369466|help to update the localized versions]]. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements.
* A new filter has been added to the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378488]
* Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool. Thanks to user MolecularPilot for this and the previous improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376378]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:25}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:25|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was fixed in the configuration for the AV1 video file format, which enables these files to play again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382193]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to most Wiktionaries over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyage to Parsoid Read Views last year. For more information, see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parsoid/Parser Unification]] project page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385923][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371640]
* Developers of tools that run on-wiki should note that &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; is deprecated. Tools requiring &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; must explicitly declare &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.Uri&lt;/code&gt; as a ResourceLoader dependency, and should migrate to the browser native &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;URL&lt;/code&gt; API soon.

* Administrators can now customize how the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/User language|Babel feature]] creates categories using [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel}}]]. They can rename language categories, choose whether they should be auto-created, and adjust other settings. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374348]
* The &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://www.wikimedia.org/ wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; portal has been updated – and is receiving some ongoing improvements – to modernize and improve the accessibility of our portal pages. It now has better support for mobile layouts, updated wording and links, and better language support. Additionally, all of the Wikimedia project portals, such as &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://wikibooks.org wikibooks.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;, now support dark mode when a reader is using that system setting. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373204][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368221][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals]

'''Updates for editors'''
* All logged-in editors using the mobile view can now edit a full page. The &quot;{{int:Minerva-page-actions-editfull}}&quot; link is accessible from the &quot;{{int:minerva-page-actions-overflow}}&quot; menu in the toolbar. This was previously only available to editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|Advanced mobile contributions]] setting. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387180]
* Interface administrators can now help to remove the deprecated Cite CSS code matching &quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;mw-ref&lt;/code&gt;&quot; from their local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]&lt;/bdi&gt;.

The Cite footnote markers (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) are now rendered by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid|Parsoid]], and the deprecated CSS is no longer needed. The CSS for backlinks (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;mw:referencedBy&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) should remain in place for now. This cleanup is expected to cause no visible changes for readers. Please help to remove this code before March 20, after which the development team will do it for you.
* When editors embed a file (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[File:MediaWiki.png]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) on a page that is protected with cascading protection, the software will no longer restrict edits to the file description page, only to new file uploads.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T24521] In contrast, transcluding a file description page (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) will now restrict edits to the page.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T62109]
* When editors revert a file to an earlier version it will now require the same permissions as ordinarily uploading a new version of the file. The software now checks for 'reupload' or 'reupload-own' rights,[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304474] and respects cascading protection.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140010]
* When administrators are listing pages for deletion with the Nuke tool, they can now also list associated talk pages and redirects for deletion, alongside pages created by the target, rather than needing to manually delete these pages afterwards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95797]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/03|previously noted]] update to Single User Login, which will accommodate browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies by moving login and account creation to a central domain, will now roll out to all users during March and April. The team plans to enable it for all new account creation on [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Tuesday|Group0]] wikis this week. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and an updated timeline.
* Since last week there has been a bug that shows some interface icons as black squares until the page has fully loaded. It will be fixed this week. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387351]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q2044560|Sylheti]] ([[w:syl:|&lt;code&gt;w:syl:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386441]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors who use password managers at multiple wikis may notice changes in the future. The way that our wikis provide information to password managers about reusing passwords across domains has recently been updated, so some password managers might now offer you login credentials that you saved for a different Wikimedia site. Some password managers already did this, and are now doing it for more Wikimedia domains. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3 project]] which aims to improve how our unified login works, and to keep it compatible with ongoing changes to the web-browsers we use. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385520][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384844]
* The Wikipedia Apps Team is inviting interested users to help improve Wikipedia’s offline and limited internet use. After discussions in [[m:Afrika Baraza|Afrika Baraza]] and the last [[m:Special:MyLanguage/ESEAP Hub/Meetings|ESEAP call]], key challenges like search, editing, and offline access are being explored, with upcoming focus groups to dive deeper into these topics. All languages are welcome, and interpretation will be available. Want to share your thoughts?

* All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 19. This is planned at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742392800 14:00 UTC]. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks.

* Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|a datacenter server switchover]], redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter. [http://listen.hatnote.com/ Thanks to the Listen to Wikipedia] tool, you can hear the switchover take place: Before it begins, you'll hear the steady stream of edits; Then, as the system enters a brief read-only phase, the sound stops for a couple of minutes, before resuming after the switchover. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog]].

* On Wikimedia Commons, a [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Upload Wizard Improvements#Improve category selection|new system to select the appropriate file categories]] has been introduced: if a category has one or more subcategories, users will be able to click on an arrow that will open the subcategories directly within the form, and choose the correct one. The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard.
* The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|project talk page]].
* Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at [[phab:T384372|12 Wikipedias]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi-check|Multi-Check]]. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Checks]] during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented [[phab:T373949|on Phabricator]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379131]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]], which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading. Translators can see the [[m:Global reminder bot/Translation|listing of existing translations and documentation]] to check if their language needs updating or creation.
* The [[Special:GlobalPreferences|GlobalPreferences]] gender setting, which is used for how the software should refer to you in interface messages, now works as expected by overriding the local defaults. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386584]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Later this week, the way that Codex styles are loaded will be changing. There is a small risk that this may result in unstyled interface message boxes on certain pages. User generated content (e.g. templates) is not impacted. Gadgets may be impacted. If you see any issues [[phab:T388847|please report them]]. See the linked task for details, screenshots, and documentation on how to fix any affected gadgets.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking your feedback on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|drafts of the objectives and key results that will shape the Foundation's Product and Technology priorities]] for the next fiscal year (starting in July). The objectives are broad high-level areas, and the key-results are measurable ways to track the success of their objectives. Please share your feedback on the talkpage, in any language, ideally before the end of April.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] will be released to multiple wikis (see [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status#Global Deployment Plan|deployment plan]] for details) in April 2025, and the team has begun the process of engaging communities on the identified wikis. The extension provides tools to organize, manage, and promote collaborative activities (like events, edit-a-thons, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. The extension has three tools: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Invitation list|Invitation Lists]]. It is currently on 13 Wikipedias, including English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, as well as Wikidata. Questions or requests can be directed to the [[mw:Help talk:Extension:CampaignEvents|extension talk page]] or in Phabricator (with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag).
* Starting the week of March 31st, wikis will be able to set which user groups can view private registrants in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], as part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension. By default, event organizers and the local wiki admins will be able to see private registrants. This is a change from the current behavior, in which only event organizers can see private registrants. Wikis can change the default setup by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|requesting a configuration change]] in Phabricator (and adding the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag). Participants of past events can cancel their registration at any time.
* Administrators at wikis that have a customized &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]&lt;/bdi&gt; should check that it contains an entry for the {{int:specialpages}} listing. If it does not, they should add it using &lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;* specialpages-url|specialpages&lt;/code&gt;. Wikis with a default sidebar will see the link moved from the page toolbox into the sidebar menu in April. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T388927]
* The Minerva skin (mobile web) combines both Notice and Alert notifications within the bell icon ([[File:OOjs UI icon bell.svg|16px|link=|class=skin-invert]]). There was a long-standing bug where an indication for new notifications was only shown if you had unseen Alerts. This bug is now fixed. In the future, Minerva users will notice a counter atop the bell icon when you have 1 or more unseen Notices and/or Alerts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344029]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* VisualEditor has introduced a [[mw:VisualEditor/Hooks|new client-side hook]] for developers to use when integrating with the VisualEditor target lifecycle. This hook should replace the existing lifecycle-related hooks, and be more consistent between different platforms. In addition, the new hook will apply to uses of VisualEditor outside of just full article editing, allowing gadgets to interact with the editor in DiscussionTools as well. The Editing Team intends to deprecate and eventually remove the old lifecycle hooks, so any use cases that this new hook does not cover would be of interest to them and can be [[phab:T355555|shared in the task]].
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Api&lt;/code&gt; JavaScript library, can now identify the tool using it with the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;userAgent&lt;/code&gt; parameter: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );&lt;/code&gt;. If you maintain a gadget or user script, please set a user agent, because it helps with library and server maintenance and with differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate traffic.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Editing team is working on a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Check|Edit check]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#26 March 2025|Peacock check]]. This check's goal is to identify non-neutral terms while a user is editing a wikipage, so that they can be informed that their edit should perhaps be changed before they publish it. This project is at the early stages, and the team is looking for communities' input: [[phab:T389445|in this Phabricator task]], they are gathering on-wiki policies, templates used to tag non-neutral articles, and the terms (jargon and keywords) used in edit summaries for the languages they are currently researching. You can participate by editing the table on Phabricator, commenting on the task, or directly messaging [[m:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|Single User Login]] has now been updated on all wikis to move login and account creation to a central domain. This makes user login compatible with browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies, which have prevented users of some browsers from staying logged in.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting on March 31st, the MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin a limited release of generated OpenAPI specs and a SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API|MediaWiki REST APIs]]. They invite developers from a limited group of non-English Wikipedia communities (Arabic, German, French, Hebrew, Interlingua, Dutch, Chinese) to review the documentation and experiment with the sandbox in their preferred language. In addition to these specific Wikipedia projects, the sandbox and OpenAPI spec will be available on the [[testwiki:Special:RestSandbox|on the test wiki REST Sandbox special page]] for developers with English as their preferred language. During the preview period, the MediaWiki Interfaces Team also invites developers to [[mw:MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|share feedback about your experience]]. The preview will last for approximately 2 weeks, after which the sandbox and OpenAPI specs will be made available across all wiki projects.

'''In depth'''
* Sometimes a small, [[gerrit:c/operations/cookbooks/+/1129184|one line code change]] can have great significance: in this case, it means that for the first time in years we're able to run all of the stack serving &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[http://maps.wikimedia.org/ maps.wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; - a host dedicated to serving our wikis and their multi-lingual maps needs - from a single core datacenter, something we test every time we perform a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter switchover]]. This is important because it means that in case one of our datacenters is affected by a catastrophe, we'll still be able to serve the site. This change is the result of [[phab:T216826|extensive work]] by two developers on porting the last component of the maps stack over to [[w:en:Kubernetes|kubernetes]], where we can allocate resources more efficiently than before, thus we're able to withstand more traffic in a single datacenter. This work involved a lot of complicated steps because this software, and the software libraries it uses, required many long overdue upgrades. This type of work makes the Wikimedia infrastructure more sustainable.

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025|MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025]] is happening in Sandusky, USA, and online, from 14–16 May 2025. The workshop will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users. Registration and presentation signup is now available at the workshop's website.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355914]
* File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step.

* The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]] which will enable [[:w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[:w:en:Denial-of-service attack|Distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
* To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:EmailAuth|emailed to their account]]. It is recommended that you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|check]] that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390662]
* &quot;Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?&quot; This question will be [[phab:T389401|asked at 7 wikis starting next week]], on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools|Moderator Tools team]] wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.

* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] is now integrated with [[w:dag:Solɔɣu|Dagbani Wikipedia]] since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|annual plan]] for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|executive summary]] (also on [[diffblog:2025/04/25/sharing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2025-2026-draft-annual-plan/|Diff]]), details about the three main [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals|goals]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|Infrastructure]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Volunteer Support|Volunteer Support]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Effectiveness|Effectiveness]]), [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Global Trends|global trends]], and the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Budget Overview|budget]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Financial Model|financial model]]. Feedback and questions are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|talk page]] until the end of May.

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|&quot;Get shortened URL&quot;]] link on the sidebar now includes a [[phab:T393309|QR code]]. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]], which will enable [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[w:en:Denial-of-service attack|distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/16|previously written about this]]. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the [[m:Talk:Edge Uniques|talk page]].
* Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled can use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]].
* The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|&lt;code&gt;w:nup:&lt;/code&gt;]]). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to [[w:nup:Tatacin feregi|new Wikipedia]].

* Developers can now access pre-parsed Dutch Wikipedia, amongst others (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) through the [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/docs/snapshot/#structured-contents-snapshot-bundle-info-beta Structured Contents snapshots (beta)]. The content includes parsed Wikipedia abstracts, descriptions, main images, infoboxes, article sections, and references.
* The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/data-parsoid&lt;/code&gt; REST API endpoint is no longer in use and will be deprecated. It is [[phab:T393557|scheduled to be turned off]] on June 7, 2025.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|deployment timeline]].
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]]. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement [[diffblog:2023/07/13/exploring-paths-for-the-future-of-free-knowledge-new-wikipedia-chatgpt-plugin-leveraging-rich-media-social-apps-and-other-experiments/|understand new users]], how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement.

Please review the [[mw:Help:Manage blocks/Developers|developer guide]] for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the [[mw:Help talk:Manage blocks/Developers|talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.title&lt;/code&gt; object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;isDisambiguationPage&lt;/code&gt;. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71441]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] User script developers can use a [[toolforge:gitlab-content|new reverse proxy tool]] to load javascript and css from [[gitlab:|gitlab.wikimedia.org]] with &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.loader.load&lt;/code&gt;.

To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The previously deprecated &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]&lt;/code&gt; views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]&lt;/code&gt; views instead.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects#Sessions|read the Program schedule]] and [[d:Special:RegisterForEvent/1291|register]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.4|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* Scholarship applications to participate in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025|GLAM Wiki Conference 2025]] are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025/Scholarships|apply here]]. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121]
* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to the third and last batch of Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions.

* Last week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] were rolled out on Czech, Korean, and Turkish Wikipedias. This and next week, deployments on larger Wikipedias will follow. [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Share your thoughts]] about the project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340001]
* Later this week, the Editing team will release [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi check|Multi Check]] to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|Reference checks]] within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/multi_check_ab_test_report_final.html#summary-of-results The test shows] that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395519]
* A few pages need to be renamed due to software updates and to match more recent Unicode standards. All of these changes are related to title-casing changes. Approximately 71 pages and 3 files will be renamed, across 15 wikis; the complete list is in [[phab:T396903|the task]]. The developers will rename these pages next week, and they will fix redirects and embedded file links a few minutes later via a system settings update.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Extension:Chart]]. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Transforms|Information on how to use transforms is available]]. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates]
* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;all_links&lt;/code&gt; variable in [[Special:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter]] is now renamed to &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;new_links&lt;/code&gt; for consistency with other variables. Old usages will still continue to work. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391811]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|Temporary accounts]] have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese. Now, about 1/3 of all logged-out activity across wikis is coming from temporary accounts. Users involved in patrolling may be interested in two new documentation pages: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Access to IP|Access to IP]], explaining everything related to access to temporary account IP addresses, and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Repository|Repository]] with a list of new gadgets and user scripts.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Anyone can play an experimental new game, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/New Engagement Experiments/WikiRun|WikiRun]], that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible. The project's goal is to explore new ways of engaging readers. [https://wikirun-game.toolforge.org/ Try playing the game] and let the team know what you think [[mw:Talk:New Engagement Experiments/WikiRun|on the talk page]].
* Users of the Wikipedia Android app in some languages can now play the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|trivia game]]. ''Which came first?'' is a simple history game where you guess which of two events happened earlier on today's date. It was previously available as an A/B test. It is now available to all users in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, and Chinese. The goal of the feature is to help engage with new generations of readers. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22]
* Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in some languages may see a new tabbed browsing feature that enables you to open multiple tabs while reading. This feature makes it easier to explore related topics and switch between articles. The A/B test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. More details are available on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Tabbed Browsing (Tabs)|Tabbed Browsing project page]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Commons community has decided to block [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Upload dialog|cross-wiki uploads]] to Wikimedia Commons, for all users without autoconfirmed rights on that wiki, starting on August 16. This is because of [[:c:Commons:Cross-wiki media upload tool/History|widespread problems]] related to files that are uploaded by newcomers. Users who are affected by this will get an error message with a link to the less restrictive UploadWizard on Commons. Please help translating the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-cross-wiki-upload|message]] or give feedback on the message text. Please also update your local help pages to explain this restriction. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370598]
* On wikis with temporary accounts enabled and Meta-Wiki, administrators may now set up a footer for the Special:Contributions pages of temporary accounts, similar to those which can be shown on IP and user-account pages. They may do it by creating the page named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-temp&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398347]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors can now enable the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/User Info|User Info card]]. This feature adds an icon next to usernames on history pages and similar user-contribution log pages. When you tap or click on the icon, it displays data related to that user account such as the number of edits, reverted edits, blocks, and more. It's part of a broader project to make it easier for moderators to evaluate account trustworthiness. The feature can be enabled in [[testwiki:Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|your global preferences]], and later this week it will be available in local preferences. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386439]
* Everybody is invited to share comments on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|Collaborative Contributions]], a project recently launched by the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Connection Team|Connection team]]. The project aims to create a new way to display the impact of collaborative editing activities (such as edit-a-thons, backlog drives, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. Post your comments on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378035]
* Administrators can now define the default block duration for temporary accounts. To do that, they need to create a page named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account&lt;/code&gt; and use a value defined in &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Ipboptions&lt;/code&gt;. This allows administrators to easily block temporary accounts for 90 days, which is functionally equivalent to an indefinite block. The advantage of this solution is that it does not clutter Special:BlockList. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block and unblock#Default block duration options|More documentation]] is available.

* Gadgets can now include &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;.vue&lt;/code&gt; files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using [[mw:Vue.js|Vue.js]], in particular using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the official design system of Wikimedia. [[wmdoc:codex/latest/icons/overview.html|Codex icons]] can be loaded through the gadget definition. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Gadgets#Pages|The documentation]] has examples. For user scripts that use Vue.js, an [[mw:API:CodexIcons|API module]] now exists to load Codex icons. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340460][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T311099]
* Module developers can now use a [[mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Message Bundles/Lua reference|Lua interface]] to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation on Meta-Wiki. This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation. Module developers and translators are invited to [[commons:File:Translatable modules video demo July 2025.webm|watch the demo video]], read more about [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translatable modules|translatable modules]] to understand how it works, refer to Meta-Wiki's [[m:Module:User Wikimedia project|Module:User Wikimedia project]] for example usage, and [[mw:Talk:Translatable modules|share their feedback]] on how well it addresses the challenges in their workflow. The interface still has some performance issues, so it should not be used in widely used modules yet. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T359918]
* Developers of external tools that connect to Wikimedia pages must set a user-agent that complies with [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|the user-agent policy]]. This policy will start to be more strongly enforced in August because of external crawlers that are [[diffblog:2025/04/01/how-crawlers-impact-the-operations-of-the-wikimedia-projects/|overusing]] Wikimedia's resources. Tools that are hosted on Wikimedia's Toolforge or Cloud VPS will not be affected by this for now, but should still set a user-agent. [[phab:T400119|More technical details are available]], and related questions are welcome in that task.
* Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to some smaller Wikipedias over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyages and Wiktionaries to Parsoid Read Views. For more information, see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parsoid/Parser Unification]] project page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/7694/]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The WikiEditor toolbar now includes [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:WikiEditor#Keyboard shortcuts|its keyboard shortcuts]] in the tooltips for its buttons. This will help to improve the discoverability of this feature. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400583]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] published a set of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/August 2025 draft PTAC proposals for feedback|proposed experiments]] the Wikimedia Foundation can try to improve communication with community. Feedback on the proposals are welcomed until August 22 on [[m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/August 2025 draft PTAC proposals for feedback|this talk page]].
* The search bar on the Minerva skin (mobile) has been updated to use the same type-ahead search component that is used on the Vector 2022 skin. There are no changes in search functionality but there are minor visual changes. Specifically, the close-search button has been changed from an &quot;X&quot; to a back arrow. This helps to distinguish it from the other &quot;X&quot; button that is used to clear any text. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393944]
* Editors on some wikis will see a new toggle for &quot;Group results by page&quot; on watchlist, related changes, and recent changes pages. This is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Watchlist/Experiment|an A/B experiment]] that is planned to start on August 11, and will run for 3–6 weeks on the Bengali, Chinese, Czech, French, Greek, Portuguese, and Urdu Wikipedias. The experiment will examine how making this feature more discoverable might affect editors' ability to find the edits they are looking for. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T396789]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:31}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:31|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The multiwiki datasets of [[:wikt:en:Module:Unicode data|Unicode data]] have been moved to [[c:Category:Unicode Module Datasets|Category:Unicode Module Datasets]] on Wikimedia Commons, to follow the idea of &quot;One common data source, multiple local wikis&quot;. Most wikis have been updated to use the Commons version. You can ask questions at [[c:Category talk:Unicode Module Datasets|the talkpage]]. [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module_talk:Unicode_data#Data_from_commons]
* Lua code can add warnings when something is wrong, by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.addWarning()&lt;/code&gt; function. It is now possible to add more than one warning, instead of new warnings replacing old ones. If you maintain a Lua module that used warnings, you should check it still works as expected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398390]

* Later this week, people who are logged-in and have the &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary|Discussion tools]]&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Beta Feature]] enabled will gain the ability to &quot;Thank&quot; individual comments directly from talk pages, rather than needing to navigate to page history. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary#Comment actions|Learn more about this feature]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400849]
* An A/B test comparing two versions of the desktop donate link launched on testwiki on 12 August and on English Wikipedia 14 August for 0.1% of logged out users on the desktop site. The experiment will run for three weeks, ending on 12 September. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395716]
* An A/A test to measure the baseline for reader retention was launched 12 August using [[wikitech:Experimentation Lab|Experimentation Lab]]. This measures the percentage of users who revisit a wiki after their initial visit over a 14-day period. No visual changes are expected. The experiment will run through 31 August.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template authors can now use additional CSS properties, since the CSS sanitizer used by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles]] was updated. For example: &lt;code&gt;width: fit-content&lt;/code&gt;; &lt;code&gt;ruby-align&lt;/code&gt;; relative units such as &lt;code&gt;lh&lt;/code&gt;; and custom strings in &lt;code&gt;list-style-type&lt;/code&gt;. These improvements are a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Wishes/Allow use of modern CSS in templates by updating the TemplateStyles CSS sanitizer|Community Wishlist wish]].

* On large wikis, the default time period to display edits from, within the Special:RecentChanges page, has been changed from 7 days to 1 day. This is part of a performance improvement project. This should have no user-facing impact due to the quantity of edits on these wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T399455]
* Administrators can now access the [[{{#special:BlockedExternalDomains}}]] page from the [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration}}]] list page. This makes it easier to find. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393240]
* Wikimedia Commons videos were not shown in the Videos tab in Google Search. The problem was investigated and reported to Google who have now fixed the issue.

* Two fields of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Recentchanges table|recentchanges database table]] are being removed. &lt;code&gt;rc_new&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;rc_type&lt;/code&gt; are being removed in favor of &lt;code&gt;rc_source&lt;/code&gt;. Queries to these older fields will start to fail starting this week and developers should use &lt;code&gt;rc_source&lt;/code&gt; instead. These older fields were deprecated over 10 years ago and should not be in use. This is part of work to improve the performance and stability of queries to the recentchanges table. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400696]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing team wants to compile a list of templates, jargon terms, and policies used in edit summaries when a copyright violation is removed. This will help them identify the number of edits reverted due to copyright issues. We invite community members from the following Wikis to list these terms in [[Phab:T402601|T402601]], or to share their list with [[User:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek_(WMF)]]: {{int:project-localized-name-arwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-dewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-enwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-eswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-fawiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-frwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-idwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-itwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-jawiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kowiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-nlwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-plwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-ptwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-ukwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-viwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-zhwiki/en}}.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] has been enabled for all Wikisources. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. The extension has three features: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Connection Team/Invitation list|Invitation List]]. To request the extension for your wiki, visit the Deployment information page. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#How_to_Request_the_CampaignEvents_Extension_for_your_wiki]
* The lists in the footer of the editing interface, such as &quot;Templates used on this page,&quot; will now be organized into columns when there is enough space. This enhancement minimizes scrolling when editing lengthy articles on Wikipedia. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401066]
* On September 3rd, 2025 we will increase the sampling percentages of our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Watchlist/Experiment#Scope of the experiment|group by toggle experiment]] of the &lt;code&gt;Special:RecentChanges&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;Special:Watchlist&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;Special:RelatedChanges&lt;/code&gt; pages on the Chinese, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias to 100 percent, allowing more editors to be part of this experiment. This adjustment is intended to ensure we have sufficient data to make informed decisions when evaluating the experiment results. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402958][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T396789]
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading on English Wikipedia beginning the week of September 22. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. All non-English wikis received this change in June and July. The goal is to make it easier for users to find articles.

'''In depth'''
* Wikifunctions now has a new capability called &quot;lightweight enumeration types&quot;, an enumeration type is simply a fixed set of values that's in the type's definition. This capability makes it quick and easy to define such a type, and allows for the reuse of values that are already present in Wikidata. Here is [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-07-19|a newsletter]] to learn more.
* The latest [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Newsletter updates#August 2025: Newsletter #1|Readers Newsletter]] is now available. This edition includes: the formation of two new teams — Reader Growth and Reader Experience; insights into declining pageviews and account creations; highlights from the Wikimania Nairobi panel on improving the reading experience; upcoming experiments to engage new and existing readers; and more.

'''Meetings and events'''
* Spotlight on some Wikimania 2025 Sessions:

* The Editing team is working on a new check: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Paste check|Paste check]]. This check informs newcomers who paste text into Wikipedia that the content might not be accepted. This check is an effort to increase the likelihood that the new content people are adding to Wikipedia is aligned with the Movement's commitment to offering information under a free content license.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Later this week, users of the &quot;{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] will be able to use a [[w:en:Lint (software)|linting tool]] to see errors or other potential problems in wikitext in real time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Linting|help page for more information]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381577]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] When browsing a wiki (like &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;en.wikipedia.org&lt;/code&gt;), the software responds in one of two ways: a desktop page, or a redirect to a mobile version on an &quot;m&quot; domain (like &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;en.m.wikipedia.org&lt;/code&gt;). Over the next three weeks, MediaWiki will start displaying the mobile version to mobile devices directly on the standard domain, without this redirect. This change does not affect existing m-dot URLs, or the &quot;Desktop view&quot; opt-out. [[mw:Requests for comment/Mobile domain sunsetting/2025 Announcement|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214998]
* When an edit changes the categories of a page, the changes to the category membership counts are now happening asynchronously. This improves the speed of saving edits, especially when moving many pages to or from the same category, and reduces the risk of site outages, but it means that the counts can show outdated information for a few minutes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T365303] 
* Edits on Wikidata to qualifiers (properties and values) and references (properties and values) in a Wikidata item statement will now not add entries to the RecentChanges or Watchlist pages on all other Wikis. This is a temporary change to improve performance while other solutions are created. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401286][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400698]

* Starting in the week of October 6, on [[gitiles:operations/mediawiki-config/+/a2d2aaab9ace84280dd2f4c70a33bb69cd73850f/dblists/small.dblist|small wikis]] and [[gitiles:operations/mediawiki-config/+/a2d2aaab9ace84280dd2f4c70a33bb69cd73850f/dblists/medium.dblist|medium wikis]] that have the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled, all autoconfirmed users will be able to use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] as an organizer. No changes will be made for [[gitiles:operations/mediawiki-config/+/a2d2aaab9ace84280dd2f4c70a33bb69cd73850f/dblists/large.dblist|large wikis]] unless requested in Phabricator. This change is being made to make it easier for more people to use Event Registration, especially on wikis that are less likely to have policies related to the Event Organizer right. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Proposal to grant autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis the organizer access to the event registration tool|Learn more]].
* Users that search using regular expressions (regex) can now use additional features including:
** for the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;intitle:&lt;/code&gt; keyword: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch#Metacharacters|metacharacters]] for start-of-line (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;^&lt;/code&gt;) and end-of-line (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;$&lt;/code&gt;) anchors [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T317599]
** for both &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;intitle:&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;insource:&lt;/code&gt; keywords: shorthand [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch#Character_Classes|character classes]] for digits (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\d&lt;/code&gt;), whitespace (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\s&lt;/code&gt;), and word characters (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\w&lt;/code&gt;); and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch#Escape codes|escape codes]] for line feed (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\r&lt;/code&gt;), newline (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\n&lt;/code&gt;), tab (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\t&lt;/code&gt;), and unicode (e.g. &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;\uHHHH&lt;/code&gt;). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403212]
* When you search for text that looks like an IP, the system will now show search results. It used to take you to the contributions for that IP instead of showing search results. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306325]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on September 24. This is planned at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1758726000 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests which happen twice a year. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is redesigning the Wikimedia REST API Sandbox with Codex. If you have feedback on improvements for the API documentation or what makes developer experiences smooth (or frustrating), you’re invited to [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ2aZzbXeQvjOF7gB1fJXiwAYemQjKf4sXNaRODPA7_obFyNBwkzNkoVCoTF-aeov89kIjXHbCQm join an upcoming discovery interview], or [[mw:MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Developer Feedback/Wikimedia Web APIs|leave feedback onwiki]].

* Edits to Wikidata aliases (an alternative name for an item or a property) will now be shown in RecentChanges and Watchlist entries on other wikis less often, reducing unnecessary notifications. This will reduce the overall quantity of 'noisy' entries. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged. [[m:Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects/Reduce change propagation noise#Phase 1: More granular Alias tracking|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401288]
* The new [https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode17.0.0/ Unicode 17.0] version has been released. The [[:c:Category:Unicode Module Datasets|datasets on Commons]] for the [[:d:Q39301585|Module:Unicode data]] have been updated. Wikipedias that do not use the Commons datasets should either update their own data or switch to the Commons datasets.
* Users of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise|Wikimedia Enterprise]] Structured Contents endpoints can now access [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/parsed-wikipedia-tables/ Parsed Tables]. The new Parsed Tables feature extracts and represents Wikipedia tables in structured JSON. This improves machine accessibility as part of the [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/api/structured-contents/ Structured Contents initiative]. Structured Contents output is freely available through the [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/docs/on-demand/#article-structured-contents-beta On-demand API], or through Wikimedia Cloud Services. 
* A [https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/wikimedia-foundation/english-wikipedia-people-dataset dataset of English Wikipedia biographical information] from [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise|Wikimedia Enterprise]] has been published on Kaggle, for evaluation and research. This provides structured data from more than 1.5 million biographies, including birth and death dates, education, affiliations, careers, awards, and more (from a June 2024 snapshot).

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1758726000 On September 24th at 15:00 UTC], all Wikimedia sites users will experience a brief read-only period due to a scheduled [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter server switchover]]. The Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team will redirect all traffic from one primary server to its backup. You can listen to the switchover using the [http://listen.hatnote.com/ &quot;Listen to Wikipedia&quot;] tool, where you will hear edits stop for a few minutes during the read-only phase, then resume. This twice-yearly datacenter server switchover ensures reliability by testing the backup datacenter, so that our sites can stay online even if the primary datacenter fails. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the process on the Diff blog]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors of [[f:Special:Mylanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-09-12#Next round of Wiktionaries to receive embedded Wikifunctions calls|60 more Wiktionaries]] will soon be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them into their pages. A function takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, like adding numbers, converting miles to meters, calculating elapsed time, or declining a word into a case. They will join the other [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-29#Wikifunctions available on 65 Wiktionaries|65 Wiktionary language editions]], which already have access to embedded Wikifunctions calls. Later this year, plans are in place to expand to more Wiktionaries and the Incubator.
* A new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#Technical metadata of another page|parser function]] has been added: &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#contentmodel}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. Template editors and admins can use it to get the localized or canonical name of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:ChangeContentModel|content model]] of a specific page. The function makes it easier to create and edit system messages, such as ''MediaWiki:editinginterface'', even when you switch types of pages, like wiki, JavaScript, CSS or JSON page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328254]
* Adding or editing a &lt;code&gt;DISPLAYTITLE&lt;/code&gt; for an article using VisualEditor will no longer be broken. Editors who use VisualEditor mode to modify the &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{DISPLAYTITLE}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; would no longer have the literal text &quot;DISPLAYTITLE&quot; or its localized variant added to their articles. A list of pages that may have been affected and might need cleanup is documented in [[phab:P83438|this ticket]]. 
* Beta users of the Wikipedia Android app can now try the redesigned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Activity Tab Experiment|Activity tab]], which replaces the Edits tab. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging.

'''In depth'''
* Wikifunctions users can now import many essential facts involving [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6011|geo-coordinates]], [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6010|quantities]] and [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6064|time]] values from Wikidata. This is made possible by the creation of Wikifunctions types for these values, which makes them available for use by functions in Wikifunctions. Learn more about how this works in [[c:File:ImportingWikidataDatatypesIntoWikifunctions.webm|this video]] and Wikifunctions' [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-01#News in Types I: Wikidata quantity|August 1 newsletter]] (for quantities) and [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-22#News in Types: Wikidata geo-coordinate|August 22 newsletter]] (for geo-coordinates).

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A major software upgrade has been made to [[phab:|Phabricator]]. The update introduces performance improvements, a refreshed search interface, enhancements to Maniphest task search, updates to user profile pages and project workboards, new Herald automation features, as well as general text input, mobile experience improvements and more. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/321/iterative_improvements_september_2025/]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Community Tech team will release the new Community Wishlist extension on October 1, that will improve the way wishes will be submitted. The new extension will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances. The old system will be retired. There will be a brief period of downtime while the extension is deployed and wishes are migrated to the new system. You can read more about this [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Updates|in the latest update]] or you can consult the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CommunityRequests|current documentation on MediaWiki]].
* As announced [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|on Diff blog]], the production trial of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|hCaptcha]] service for bot detection has begun. The trial is currently using hCaptcha to protect account creation on Chinese, Persian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Turkish Wikipedias, where it will replace our existing [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|CAPTCHA]] (FancyCaptcha). The goal with the trial is to better block bots while also improving usability and accessibility for users who encounter CAPTCHA challenges.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|deployed]] to Wikimedia Commons. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. On Commons, anyone who is a registered user can use it as an event participant. To use it as an organizer, someone needs to have the [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Event organizers|event organizer right]].
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to German Wikipedia. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|test the feature]] on testwiki or [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing on betawiki] as well. Please share your thoughts on [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Templates used in sub-references|using templates in sub-references]] or [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|volunteer to become a pilot wiki]].
* On wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|Mentorship]] system, communities can now opt experienced editors out of Mentorship through [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship}}]]. Within this setting, communities may define thresholds, based on edit count and account age, to decide when an editor is considered experienced enough to no longer receive Mentorship. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403563]
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tone Check|Tone check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Tone language model for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Norwegian, Romanian and Latvian. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check/Tone_Check/Model_evaluation|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on October 3, which will be the start date of the test.
* The rollout of [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|multiblocks]] had the side effect that non-active block logs may have been shown on {{#special:Contributions}} and on blocked users' user and user_talk pages. This issue will be fully resolved in a few days. As part of the fix, [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=sp-contributions-blocked-notice}} messages prefixed with &lt;code&gt;sp-contributions-blocked-notice&lt;/code&gt;] will be removed and replaced with [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=blocked-notice-logextract}} those prefixed with &lt;code&gt;blocked-notice-logextract&lt;/code&gt;] in a few weeks. Please help translate the new messages and update any local overrides if needed.
* There was a bug with links added using visual editor if they included characters such as &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[ ] |&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; after the fragment identifier (&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;#&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;). They were not encoded properly creating an incorrect link. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404823]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikiquote/en}} in [[d:Q9237|Malay]] ([[q:ms:|&lt;code&gt;q:ms:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404698]

For example, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/User Info|User Info Card]] now displays currently active global lock/blocks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401128]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Later this week, editors using Lua modules will be able to use the &lt;code&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.title.newBatch|mw.title.newBatch]]&lt;/code&gt; function to look up the existence of up to 25 pages at once, in a way that only increases the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parser functions#Expensive parser functions|expensive function]] count once.
* A new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group|Unsupported Tools Working Group]] has been formed as part of ongoing efforts to collectively determine technical work priorities, similar to the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product &amp; Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC). The working group will help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. For the first cycle, the group will be prioritizing an unsupported Wikimedia Commons tool.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#paste|Paste Check]] is a new Edit Check feature to help avoid and fight copyright violations. When editors paste text into an article, Paste Check prompts them to confirm the origin and licensing of the content. Starting Wednesday, 8 October, [[phab:T403680|22 wikis will test Paste Check]]. Paste Check will help new volunteers understand and follow the policies and guidelines necessary to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia projects.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Mobile devices will receive mobile articles directly on the standard domain (like &lt;code&gt;en.wikipedia.org&lt;/code&gt;), instead of via a redirect to an &quot;m&quot; domain (like &lt;code&gt;en.m.wikipedia.org&lt;/code&gt;). This change improves performance. This week it will be enabled on Wikipedias. The existing mobile URLs and the &quot;Desktop view&quot; opt-out remain available. [[mw:Requests for comment/Mobile domain sunsetting/2025 Announcement|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214998]
* New [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch#creationdate and lasteditdate|date filters]], &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;creationdate:&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;lasteditdate:&lt;/code&gt;, are now available in the wiki search engine. This allows users to filter search results by a page's first or last revision date. The filters support comparison operators (e.g. &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&gt;2024&lt;/code&gt;) and relative dates (e.g. &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;today-1d&lt;/code&gt;), making it easier to find recently updated content or pages within specific age ranges. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403593]
* [[f:|Wikifunctions]] now supports rich text in embedded calls across the 150 wikis where it's enabled. To showcase this, the team created a [[f:Z26333|Latin declination table]] that Wiktionary editors can use to automatically generate noun forms, producing clear, formatted results — see an [[f:Wikifunctions:Embedded function calls/Wiktionary tables demonstration|example output]]. If you need any help or have any feedback, please [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat|contact the Wikifunctions Team]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T397402]
* An edit link will now appear inside the categories box on article pages for logged in users, which will directly launch the VisualEditor category dialog. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291691]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:34}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:34|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, there was a problem downloading pdf files last week and that has been resolved. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T405957]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The field &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;rev_sha1&lt;/code&gt; in the revision database table is being removed in favor of &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;content_sha1&lt;/code&gt; in the content database table. See [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/2D2M3SP4WHR6BXXKTZ2PBLZQYR3EGQVR/ the announcement] for more information.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will roll out [[w:en:Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark Mode]] user interface on all Wikimedia sites on October 29, 2025. All anonymous users of Wikimedia sites will have the option to activate a color scheme that features light-colored text on a dark background. This is designed to provide a more comfortable reading experience, especially in low-light situations. Template authors and technical contributors are encouraged to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|learn how to make pages ready for Dark mode]] and address any compatibility issues found in templates in their wiki before the enablement. Please contact the Web team for questions or any support on [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|this talk page]] before the enablement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395628]
* Starting on Monday, October 6, API endpoints under the &lt;code&gt;rest.php&lt;/code&gt; path will be rerouted through a new internal API Gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the [[phab:tag/serviceops/|Service Ops team board]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400130]

* Last week, improvements to account security and two-factor authentication (2FA) features were enabled across all wikis. These changes include user interface improvements for [https://auth.wikimedia.org/metawiki/wiki/Special:AccountSecurity Special:AccountSecurity], the support of multiple 2FA methods via authenticator apps and portable security keys (previously users could only enable one method), and a new Recovery Codes module which facilitates fewer account lockouts due to lost two-factor apps and devices. As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project, work is continuing through the rest of 2025 on further user experience improvements, and support for passkeys as an alternate second factor. 

'''Updates for editors'''

* Another part of the Account security project is making 2FA generally available to all users. Along with editors with advanced privileges, such as administrators and bureaucrats, 40% of editors now have access to 2FA. You can check if you have access at [https://auth.wikimedia.org/metawiki/wiki/Special:AccountSecurity Special:AccountSecurity]. Instructions for activation are on the linked page. The plan is to continue increasing availability if it is determined that the user support capabilities are able to support global usage. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400579]
* This week, users at wikis where talk page [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Usability|Usability Improvements]] are already available by default (everywhere ''except'' the 12 wikis listed in [[phab:T379264|T379264]]) will gain the ability to Thank a comment directly from the talk page it appears on. Before this change, Thanking could only be done by visiting the revision history of the talk page. You can [[diffblog:2025/10/13/revolutionizing-gratitude-a-new-era-of-thanking-comments/|learn more about this change]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366095]
* Users who have not [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|verified their email address]] will soon be receiving monthly Notification reminders to do so. This is because users who have verified their email can more easily recover their account. These reminders will not be sent if the user is inactive or removes the unverified email from their account. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58074]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a fix was made for an occasional error with saving translated paragraphs in the Content Translation tool, and the related error messages are now easier to see. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376531]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''

* The Unsupported Tools Working Group has chosen [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Video2commons|Video2Commons]] as the first tool for its pilot cycle. The group will explore ways to improve and sustain the tool over the coming months.

'''Updates for editors'''
* To optimize how user data is stored in our databases, the saved preferences of users who haven't logged in for over five years and have fewer than 100 edits will be cleared. When those users return, default settings will apply. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406724]

If any issues are observed, please file a phabricator ticket to the [[phab:tag/serviceops/|Service Ops team board]].
* Edits to Wikidata references or qualifiers will now be shown in RecentChanges and Watchlist entries on other wikis less often, reducing unnecessary notifications. This will reduce the overall quantity of 'noisy' entries. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401290]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikipedia iOS app has launched an A/B/C test of improvements made to the tabbed browsing feature for select regions and languages. The test, named “More dynamic tabs”, explores new tab experiences and includes “Did you know” and “Because you read” article recommendations. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Tabbed Browsing (Tabs)/New Tab Experience and Recommendations Experiment|read more on the project page]].
* Autoconfirmed users on [[gitiles:operations/mediawiki-config/+/a2d2aaab9ace84280dd2f4c70a33bb69cd73850f/dblists/small.dblist|small]] and [[gitiles:operations/mediawiki-config/+/a2d2aaab9ace84280dd2f4c70a33bb69cd73850f/dblists/medium.dblist|medium wikis]] with the CampaignEvents extension can now use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.

For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402285]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''

* The CampaignEvents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|Visit the deployment page to learn more]].
* The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through the [[{{#special:RestSandbox}}]] page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|project launch]] page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/6931/]
* Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using the [https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?api=mw-extra&amp;title=Special%3ARestSandbox REST Sandbox]. See the [[mw:API/Deprecation|MediaWiki REST API Deprecation]] page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
* A dedicated [[mw:API:REST API/Changelog|changelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API]]. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, please [[mw:API talk:REST API/Changelog|join the discussion]].
* Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked from [[d:Q130635582#sitelinks-wikipedia|Q130635582]]. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Administrators will now find that [[{{#special:MergeHistory}}]] is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382958]
* For users with &quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-autotopicsub}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|enabled in their preferences]], starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools &quot;{{int:Skin-action-addsection}}&quot; or &quot;{{int:Discussiontools-replybutton}}&quot; widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290778]
* Scribunto modules can now be used to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#SVG library|generate SVG images]]. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T405861]
* Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395628]
* Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editing [[Special:EditWatchlist|Special:EditWatchlist]]. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. A [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/W454 community wish] has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish! [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T41510]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Since 2019 the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|Wikimedia URL Shortener]] at https://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as &quot;Get shortened URL&quot;. There are 30 wikis that also install an older &quot;ShortUrl&quot; extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means &lt;code&gt;/s/&lt;/code&gt; URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTML &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;class=&quot;title-shortlink&quot;&lt;/code&gt;. The &lt;code&gt;/s/&lt;/code&gt; URLs will keep working. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107188]
* On Thursday, October 30, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Interfaces Team|MediaWiki Interfaces]] and [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering|SRE Service Operations]] teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/serviceops/ Service Ops team] board.
* MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025.

'''In depth'''
* In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T62744][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T24029][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155097]
* Wikivoyage wikis can use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer#Markers and counters|colored map markers in the article text]]. The text of these markers will now be shown in contrasting black or white color, instead of always being white. Local workarounds for the problem can be removed.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] is experimenting with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4_Reading lists|reading lists on mobile web]], allowing logged-in readers with no edits to save private lists of articles for later. The experiment is running on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias since the week of 10 November, and will begin on English Wikipedia the week of 17 November.
* Users who can’t receive their email verification code during login can now get help by submitting a form on a new special page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, the Content Transform Team rolled out Parsoid as the default parser to many low-traffic Wikipedias and is preparing the next step to high traffic ones. This message is an invitation for you to opt-in to Parsoid, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation, and identify any issues you might encounter with your own workflow using bots, gadgets, or user scripts. Please, let us know through the ''&quot;Report Visual Bug&quot;'' link in the Tools sidebar or create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].
* Unsupported Tools: Several issues with [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Video2commons|Video2Commons]] have been fixed, including filename-related upload failures, black-video imports, and retry handling. AV1 support has also been added. Ongoing work focuses on backend stability, ffmpeg errors, subtitle imports, metadata handling, and playlist uploads.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Last week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Search Platform|Wikimedia Search Team]] recreated the &quot;DWIM&quot; (Do What I Mean) gadget functionality server-side, for Russian and Hebrew Wikipedias. This feature adds cross-keyboard suggestions to the standard search-box suggestions. For example, searching for ''&lt;span lang=&quot;und&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;cxfcnmt&lt;/span&gt;'' on Russian Wikipedia will now add suggestions for ''&lt;span lang=&quot;ru&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;счастье&lt;/span&gt;'' (&quot;happiness&quot;) that the user probably intended. They plan to enable this feature for other Russian and Hebrew wikis this week. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T408734]
* Later this week, users of the &quot;{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] will have syntax highlighting available in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]]. This requires that the &quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-sourcemodetoolbar}}&quot; preference be set. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T407918]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|Campaign events extension]] – the set of tools for coordinating events and other on-wiki collaborations has now been deployed to all Wikimedia wikis. A new feature known as [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|Collaborative contribution]] to help organizers and participants see the impact of activities has also been added. Join the upcoming [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Connection learning session 3|learning session]] to see the new feature in action and share your feedback.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
*  Users of Wikimedia API can join a usability study to help validate the new design of Wikimedia REST API sandboxes. Interested participants should fill the [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/487662 recruitment survey]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/IREJRRWTZTGCYWQHDMSNJFTQAEPOOAE3/]
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is deprecating XSLT stylesheets within the Action API. Support for &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;format=xml'''&amp;xlst={stylesheet}'''&lt;/code&gt; will be removed from Wikimedia projects by the end of November, 2025. In addition, it will soon be disabled by default in MediaWiki release versions: v1.43 (LTS), v1.44, and v1.45. Support for XSLT stylesheets will be fully removed from MediaWiki v1.46 (expected to release between April and May 2026). [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/5AX7UWAVVUNUSBOIRHMNOKWOZ5EZI3JX/]
* The WDQS legacy endpoint ([https://query-legacy-full.wikidata.org/ query-legacy-full.wikidata.org]) will be decommissioned at the end of December 2025, and finally closed down on 7th January 2026. After this date, users should expect requests to query.wikidata.org that require the full graph to fail or return invalid results if they are not rewritten to use SPARQL federation. The team encourages users to ensure that tools and workflows use the supported WDQS endpoints (&lt;span dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;https://query.wikidata.org/&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Main graph or &lt;span dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Scholarly graph). For support with migrating use cases, please review the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Data_access|Data Access]] and [[d:Wikidata:Request_a_query|Request a Query]] pages for details and assistance on alternative access methods.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025 will be available on December 2 for users of iOS and Android Wikipedia apps, featuring new personalized insights, updated reading highlights, and refreshed designs. Learn more on the review's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Wikipedia Year in Review/Updates|project page]].
* The Growth team is working on improving the text and presentation of the Verification Email sent to new users to make them more welcoming, useful and informative. Some new text have been drafted for A/B testing and you can help by translating them. See [[phab:T396155|Phabricator]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add a link]] will now be deployed at Japanese, Urdu and Chinese Wikipedias on December 2. Add a link is based on a prediction model that suggests links to be added to articles. While this feature has already been available on most Wikipedias, the prediction model could not support certain languages. A new model has now been developed to handle these languages, and it will be gradually rolled out to other Wikipedias over time. If you would like to know more, please contact [[mw:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].

'''In depth'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is in the early stages of exploring approaches to '''Article guidance'''. The initiative aims to identify interventions that could help new editors easily understand and apply existing Wikipedia practices and policies when creating an article. The project is in the exploration and early experimental design phase. All community members are encouraged to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|learn more]] about the project, and share their thoughts on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Article guidance|the talk page]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Anybody who wishes to secure their user account can now use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA). This is available to all registered users of all Wikimedia projects. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] initiative. Later, 2FA will be required for all users who can take security- or privacy-sensitive actions.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Following last week's deployments, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add a link]] feature, which allows editors to add suggested links during editing, will be available to an additional [[Phab:T410469|33 Wikipedias]] starting on 9 December. This expansion is possible thanks to the new prediction model that now supports all languages, including those that were previously not covered. While the feature has been available on most Wikipedias for some time, this rollout brings us closer to using the improved model everywhere. If you have any questions or would like more details please contact [[mw:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].
* Last week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Search Platform|Search Platform team]] added [[w:en:Transliteration|transliterated]] as-you-type search suggestions to Georgian wikis. If there are only a few regular search suggestions, then queries in Latin or Cyrillic script [[phab:T127003|are now rewritten into Georgian script]] to look for more matches. For example, searching for either &lt;bdi lang=&quot;ka-Latn&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''bedniereba''&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;ka-Cyrl&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''бедниереба''&lt;/bdi&gt; will now suggest the existing article about &lt;bdi lang=&quot;ka&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;ბედნიერება&lt;/bdi&gt; (&quot;happiness&quot;). You can recommend other languages where transliterated suggestions would be useful [[phab:T375215|on Phabricator]] for future development.
* Later this week, a controlled experiment will begin for editors on the 100 largest Wikipedias who are editing a section in the mobile web visual editor. 50% of these editors will notice a new &quot;Edit full page&quot; button that will enable them to expand their editing session to the whole page. This feature is intended to make it easier for people on mobile web to edit any article section, regardless of which section-edit icon they tapped to begin. The experiment will last ~4 weeks. You can find [[phab:T409112|more details]] about the project.
* Later this week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth|Reader Growth team]] will launch a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/WE3.1.14 Expanded Mobile Sections|mobile web experiment]] to expand all article sections by default (currently they are collapsed by default) and pin the section header the user is currently reading to the top of the page. The experiment will affect 10% of users on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409485]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Wikipedia Year in Review/2025 Year in Review|Wikipedia Year in Review 2025]], a feature in the Wikipedia mobile apps (iOS and Android) that provides users with a personalised summary of their engagement with Wikipedia over the year, is now available on the iOS and Android apps. This edition includes expanded personalised insights, improved reading highlights, new donor messaging, and updated designs. Open the app to view your Year in Review and explore your reading journey from 2025.
* A recent software bug caused edits made with VisualEditor to make unintended changes to wikitext, including removing whitespace and replacing spaces with underscores in wikilinks inside citations. This was partially fixed last week, and further fixes are in progress. Editors who used VisualEditor between November 28 and December 2 should review their edits for unexpected modifications. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411238]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting this week, users of the &quot;{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] will have [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] as the editor for Lua, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and Vue content models, instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]]. With this, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Linting|linters]] will be upgraded. This is part of a larger effort to eventually replace CodeEditor and provide a consistent code editing experience. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373711]
* Developers are encouraged to take the [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/552643 2025 Developer Satisfaction Survey], which remains open until 5 January 2026. If you build software for the Wikimedia ecosystem and would like to share your experiences or feedback, your participation is greatly appreciated. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/W4WBKO6Q55UWWCCSFWQATKEXBEHP3QNR/]

* To improve database and site performance, external links to Wikimedia projects will no longer be stored in the database.

* Interface elements such as diffs and categories generated by MediaWiki used to have the attribute &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;data-mw=&quot;interface&quot;&lt;/code&gt; to distinguish from wiki content. The attribute has been replaced with &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;data-mw-interface=&quot;&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, to avoid potential conflicts with other &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;data-mw&lt;/code&gt; attributes, which are generated by Parsoid.

These focus on global trends, faster and healthier experimentation, better support for newcomers, strengthening editors and advanced users, improving collaboration across projects, and growing and retaining readership. Feedback and ideas are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2026-2027|talk page]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* As part of the current work of Community Tech team on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/W372|Multiple watchlists]] project, the display of [[Special:EditWatchlist|EditWatchlist]] will be updated as a first step towards multiple watchlists. Additionally, the pagination on [[Special:Search|Search]] will be updated too, as a part of the work on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/W186|Revamp pagination / page navigation]] wish. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411596]
* [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|The Global Watchlist]] is a MediaWiki [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] that lets you see your watchlists from different wikis on the same page. It was recently updated to look more like the regular [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlist]], such as preparing it for temporary accounts in IP masking (including rerouting user links to contributions pages), making page titles bold, and opening links in edit summaries and tags in new browser tabs. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398361][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298919][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273526][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286309]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The tray shown on [[Special:Diff|Special:Diff]] in mobile view has been redesigned. It is now collapsed by default, and incorporates a link to undo the edit being viewed, making it easier for mobile editors and reviewers to take action while keeping the interface uncluttered. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402297] 
* [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|The Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now automatically determines the text direction (ensuring correct display of sites with unusual domain names) and shows detailed descriptions for log actions. Later this week, a new permanent link for page creations and CSS classes for each entry element will be added. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T412505][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287929][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262768][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414135]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* As mentioned in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/44|October 2025 deprecation announcement]], MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin sunsetting all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API the week of January 26. Changes are expected to roll out to all wikis on or before January 30th. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found, compared, and tested using the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox]. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in Phabricator to the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/ #MW-Interfaces-Team board].
* Interactive reference documentation for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia REST API|Wikimedia REST API]] has moved. Requests to API docs previously hosted through [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RESTBase|RESTBase]] (e.g.: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/&lt;/code&gt;) are now redirected to the [[w:en:Special:RestSandbox|REST Sandbox]].
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Platform|WMF Wikidata Platform team]] (WDP) has published its [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Wikidata Platform team/Newsletter|January 2026 newsletter]]. It includes updates on the legacy full-graph endpoint decommissioning, the User-Agent policy change, the monthly Blazegraph migration office hours, and efforts to reduce regressions caused by the legacy endpoint shutdown.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikimedia Foundation invites comments on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Year1 Reflections and Proposed Way Forward 2026 Update|proposed future]] of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] until 28 February.
* All users with registered accounts can now use passkeys for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA). Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project.
* Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the &quot;prevent this user from editing their own talk page&quot; is enabled. This solves the problem of logged-out users unable to use the default unblock process via user talk page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398673]

For example, the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) methods description on the management page has been updated. It is now clearer and easier for users to understand and make use of. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332385]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new AbuseFilter variable, &lt;code&gt;account_type&lt;/code&gt;, has been added to provide a reliable way to determine the account type being created in the &lt;code&gt;createaccount&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;autocreateaccount&lt;/code&gt; actions. As part of this change, the variable &lt;code&gt;accountname&lt;/code&gt; has been renamed to &lt;code&gt;account_name&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;accountname&lt;/code&gt; is now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414049]
* Image thumbnails that are requested in non-standard sizes, and using non-standard methods such as direct requests to &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;upload.wikimedia.org/…&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will stop working in the near future. This change is to prevent ongoing external abuse by web-scrapers and bots. Some users with custom CSS/JS, Interface Admins who can fix gadgets and local skins, and Tool-authors, will need to update their code to use standard thumbnail sizes. [[phab:T414805|Details, search-links, and examples of how to fix them, are available in the task]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Logged-in contributors who manage large or complex watchlists can now organise and filter watched pages in ways that improve their workflows with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist labels|Watchlist labels]] feature. By adding custom labels (for example: pages you created, pages being monitored for vandalism, or discussion pages) users can more quickly identify what needs attention, reduce cognitive load, and respond more efficiently. This improves watchlist usability, especially for highly active editors.
* A new feature available on [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] shows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] that are likely operated by the same person, and so makes patrolling less time-consuming. Upon checking contributions of a temporary account, users with access to temporary account IP addresses can now see a view of contributions from the related temporary accounts. The feature looks up all the IPs associated with a given temporary account within the data retention period and shows all the contributions of all temporary accounts that have used these IPs. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts#February 2026: Improvements to the patroller tooling|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415674] 
* When editors preview a wikitext edit, the reminder box that they are only seeing a preview (which is shown at the top), now has a grey/neutral background instead of a yellow/warning background. This makes it easier to distinguish preview notes from actual warnings (for example, edit conflicts or problematic redirect targets), which will now be shown in separate warning or error boxes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414742]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now properly supports more than one Wikibase site, for example both [[d:|Wikidata]] and [[testwikidata:|testwikidata]]. In addition, issues regarding text direction have been fixed for users who prefer Wikidata or other Wikibase sites in right-to-left (RTL) languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415440][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415458]
* The automatic &quot;magic links&quot; for ISBN, RFC, and PMID numbers have been [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic links|deprecated in wikitext since 2021]] due to inflexibility and difficulties with localization. Several wikis have successfully replaced RFC and PMID magic links with equivalent external links, but a template was often required to replace the functionality of the ISBN magic link. There is now a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#isbn|built-in parser function]] &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#isbn}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; available to replace the basic functionality of the ISBN magic link. This makes it easier for wikis who wish to migrate off of the deprecated magic link functionality to do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T145604]
* Two new wikis have been created: 
** a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q35401|Jju]] ([[w:kaj:|&lt;code&gt;w:kaj:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413283]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new global user group has been created: [[{{int:grouppage-local-bot}}|{{int:group-local-bot}}]]. It will be used internally by the software to allow community bots to bypass rate limits that are applied to abusive [[w:en:Web scraping|web scrapers]]. Accounts that are approved as bots on at least one Wikimedia wiki will be automatically added to this group. It will not change what user permissions the bot has.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering|SRE Team]] will be performing a cleanup of Wikimedia's [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Etherpad|Etherpad]] instance, the web-based editor for real-time collaborative document editing. All pads will be permanently deleted after 30 April, 2026 – if there are still migration projects in progress at that point the team can revisit the date on a case by case basis. Please create local backups of any content you wish to keep, as deleted data cannot be recovered. This cleanup helps reduce database size and minimize infrastructure footprint. Etherpad will continue to support real-time collaboration, but long-term storage should not be expected. Additional cleanups may occur in the future without prior notice.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Information Retrieval team will be launching an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|Android mobile app experiment]] that tests hybrid search capabilities which can handle both semantic and keyword queries. The improvement of on-platform search will enable readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily. The experiment will first be launched on Greek Wikipedia in late February, followed by English, French, and Portuguese in March.

* The Reader Growth team will run [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/WE3.10.2 Mobile Table of Contents|an experiment]] for mobile web users, that adds a table of contents and automatically expands all article sections, to learn more about navigation issues they face. The test will be available on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
* Previously, site notices ([[{{ns:8}}:Sitenotice]] and [[{{ns:8}}:Anonnotice]]) would only render on the desktop site. Now, they will render on all platforms. Users on mobile web will now see these notices and be informed. Site administrators should be prepared to test and fix notices on mobile devices to avoid interference with articles. To opt out, interface admins can add &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#siteNotice { display: none; }&lt;/code&gt; to [[{{ns:8}}:Minerva.css]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Reference Check|Reference Check]] has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/reference_check_ab_test_report_final_2025.html]
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:InterwikiSorting|InterwikiSorting extension]], which allowed for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Interwiki sorting order|sorting of interwiki links]], has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T253764]
* Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new &quot;Edit full page&quot; button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387175][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409112]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|The Reader Experience team]] is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered &quot;beta&quot; on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:skin-theme-description&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag&lt;/code&gt; to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
* The improved [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/Activity_Tab|Activity tab]] which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug that prevented [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]] from working on mobile has now been fixed, restoring full functionality. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415303]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a [[mw:Extension:GlobalWatchlist#hook|new hook]], &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild&lt;/code&gt;, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275159]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikipedia 25 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments|Birthday mode]] is now live on Betawi, Breton, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Gorontalo, Indonesian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Madurese, Sicilian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese Wikipedias! This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments/article configuration|~2,500 articles]], waiting to be discovered by readers. Communities can choose to turn Birthday mode on by getting consensus from their community and asking an admin to enable the feature and customize it via [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments#Community Configuration Demo|community configuration]] on the local wiki.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to Swedish Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia and [[:phab:T418209|a couple of other wikis]]. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|try the feature]] on these projects or on testwiki and [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing betawiki]. Learnings from the first pilot wiki German Wikipedia have been [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Learnings|published in a report]]. Reach out to the Wikimedia Deutschland team if you are [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|interested in becoming a pilot wiki]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Paste check|Paste Check]] will become available at all Wikipedias this week. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation. Paste Check [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tags|tags]] all edits where it is shown for potential review. Local administrators can configure various aspects of the feature via [[{{#special:EditChecks}}]]. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Paste Check#A/B Experiment|Research]] across 22 wikis found that Paste Check resulted in an 18% decrease in relative reverted-edits compared to the control group. Translators can [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-visualeditor-ve-mw-editcheck&amp;filter=&amp;optional=1&amp;action=translate help to localize] this and related features.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] will be standardizing the user menu in the top right for all mobile users so that it is closer to the desktop experience. Currently this user menu is only visible to users with Advanced Mobile Controls (AMC) turned on. The only change is that a couple buttons previously in the left-side menu will move to the top right for users who do not have AMC turned on. This change is expected to go out March 9 and seeks to improve the user interface. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413912]
* Starting in the week of March 2, the emails sent out when an email address was added, removed, or changed for an account will switch to a substantially nicer and clearer HTML email from the prior plaintext one. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410807]
* Notifications are currently limited to 2,000 historic entries per user, and extend back to 2013 when the feature was released. This is going to be changed to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them. This will help with long-term infrastructure health and help to prevent more recent notifications from disappearing too soon. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page continues to see improvements. The latest update improves label usage experience. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] now allows activating the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback languages|language fallback system]] for Wikidata items without labels in the viewed language, and showing those labels in the user’s preferred Wikidata language if no &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;uselang=&lt;/code&gt; URL parameter is provided. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373686][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416111]
* The Wikipedia Android team has started a beta test of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|hybrid search]] on Greek Wikipedia. Hybrid search capabilities can handle both semantic and keyword queries enabling readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily.
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will [[phab:T418580|gradually change in March]]. Members of these groups will be unable to disable last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the second half of March, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. This applies to: CentralNotice administrators, checkusers, interface administrators, suppressors, Wikidata staff, Wikifunctions staff, WMF Office IT and WMF Trust &amp; Safety. Nothing will change for other users. See the linked task for deployment schedule. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418580]

For example, the issue preventing users from creating an instance in [https://www.wikibase.cloud/ Wikibase.cloud] has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416807]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], over the next month the Wikimedia Foundation will implement global API rate limits across our APIs. In early March, stricter limits will be applied to unidentified requests from outside Toolforge/WMCS and API requests that are made from web browsers. In April, higher limits will be applied to identified traffic. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The Wikidata Query Service Linked Data Fragment (LDF) endpoint will be decommissioned in February. This endpoint served limited traffic, which was successfully migrated to other data access methods that were better suited to support existing use cases. The hardware used to support the LDF endpoint will be reallocated to support the ongoing backend migration efforts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415696]
* The new Parsoid parser [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Updates|continues to be deployed to additional wikis]], improving platform sustainability and making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. Parsoid is now the default parser on 488 WMF wikis (268 Wikipedias), now covering more than 10% of all Wikipedia page views.
* The process and criteria for [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise#Access|requesting exceptional access]] to the high volume feed of the ''Wikimedia Enterprise'' APIs (at no cost for mission-aligned usecases), [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Enterprise#Exceptional access criteria|have now been published]]. This is to provide more thorough and clearer documentation for users.
* [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/ Tech Blog], the blog dedicated to the Wikimedia technical community [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2026/02/24/a-tech-blog-diff/ will be migrating] to [[diffblog:|Diff]], the community news and event blog. The migration should be complete in April 2026, after which new posts will be accepted for publishing. Readers will be able to access posts – old and new – on the landing page at https://diff.wikimedia.org/techblog.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
* Last week, all wikis had 2 hours of read-only time, and extended unavailability for user-scripts and gadgets. This was due to a security incident which has since been resolved. Work is ongoing to prevent re-occurrences. For current information please see the [[m:Steward's noticeboard#Statement on Meta about today's user script security incident|post on the Stewards' noticeboard]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Product Safety and Integrity/March 2026 User Script Incident|translations]]).

'''Updates for editors'''
* Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Apple iCloud Private Relay|iCloud Private Relay]]) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357118]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] will become available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines. The feature is locally configurable, and can also be locally expanded with custom Suggestions. Current settings can be seen at [[Special:EditChecks]] and there are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators %E2%80%93 local customization|instructions for how administrators can customize]] the links to point to local guidelines. The feature is connected to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|Edit check]] which suggests improvements while someone is writing new content. In the future, the Editing team plans to evaluate the feature's impact with newcomers through a controlled experiment. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404600]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the issue where the cursor became misaligned during the use of CodeMirror’s syntax highlighting, which makes wikitext and code easier to read, has now been fixed. This problem specifically affected users who defined a font rule in a custom stylesheet while creating a new topic with DiscussionTools. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418793]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* API rate limiting update: To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], global API rate limits will be applied this week to requests without a compliant User-Agent that originate from outside Toolforge/WMCS and to unauthenticated requests made from web browsers. Higher limits will be applied to identified traffic in April. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The new GraphQL API has been released. The API was developed as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), to improve developer experience and foster adaptability, and efficient data access. Try it out and [[d:Wikidata:Wikibase GraphQL#Feedback and development|give feedback]]. You can also [https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/GraphQLAPI/apply sign up for usability tests].
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group|PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group]] continued improvements to [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Video2commons#|Video2Commons]] in February, with fixes addressing authentication errors, large-file handling, task queue visibility, and clearer upload behavior. Work is still ongoing in some areas, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads. Read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group#February 2026|this update]] to learn more.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature, also known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror 6]], has been used for wikitext syntax highlighting since November 2024. It will be promoted out of beta by May 2026 in order to bring improvements and new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Features|features]] to all editors who use the standard syntax highlighter. If you have any questions or concerns about promoting the feature out of beta, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|please share]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only. Now, interwiki rights changes will be logged both on Meta-Wiki and the wiki of the target user to make it easier to access a full record of user's rights changes on a local wiki. Past log entries for such changes will be backfilled in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6055]
* On wikis using [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Flagged Revisions|Flagged Revisions]], the number of pending changes shown on [[{{#Special:PendingChanges}}]] previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413016]
* Wikifunctions composition language has been rewritten, resulting in a new version of the language. This change aims to increase service stability by reducing the orchestrator's memory consumption. This rewrite also enables substantial latency reduction, code simplification, and better abstractions, which will open the door to later feature additions. Read more about [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-11|the changes]].
* Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title. The update gives an additional option to finding pages more easily and quickly. Previously, results could be sorted by Edit date, Creation date, or Relevance. To use the new option, open 'Advanced Search' on the search results page and select 'Alphabetically' under 'Sorting Order'. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403775]

For example, the bug that prevented UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons from importing files from Flickr has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419263]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new special page, [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}]], has been created to list transcluded pages that are flagged as containing lint errors to help users discover them easily. The list is sorted by the number of transclusions with errors. For example: [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}/night-mode-unaware-background-color]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170874]
* Users of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature have been using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]] for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages, for some time now. Along with promoting CodeMirror 6 out of beta, the plan is to replace CodeEditor as the standard editor for these content models by May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|Feedback or concerns are welcome]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419332]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] JavaScript modules will soon be upgraded to CodeMirror 6. Leading up to the upgrade, loading the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror.lib&lt;/code&gt; modules from gadgets and user scripts was deprecated in July 2025. The use of the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror.switch&lt;/code&gt; hook was also deprecated in March 2025. Contributors can now make their scripts or gadgets compatible with CodeMirror 6. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror#Gadgets and user scripts|migration guide]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373720]
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is expanding coverage of REST API module definitions to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API/Extensions|extension APIs]]. REST API modules are groups of related endpoints that can be independently managed and versioned. Modules now exist for [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414470 GrowthExperiments] and [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419053 Wikifunctions] APIs. As we migrate extension APIs to this structure, documentation will move out of the main MediaWiki OpenAPI spec and REST Sandbox view, and will instead be accessible via module-specific options in the dropdown on the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox] (i.e., [[{{#Special:RestSandbox}}]], available on all wiki projects).
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension provides different pieces of information about the wiki where the module is being used via the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual|mw.site]] library. Starting last week, the library also provides a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.site.wikiId|way]] of accessing the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Wiki ID|wiki ID]] that can be used to facilitate cross-wiki module maintenance.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/13|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional [[phab:T417120|&quot;Log in with passkey&quot; button]] will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The [[c:File:Passwordless_login_screencast.webm|screen recording]] demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a [[toolforge:echo-chamber|new Toolforge tool]]. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Dashboard|early version of an experience]] that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402647]
* The [[Special:Block]] now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at: [[MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401823]
* Mobile editors [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#Logged-out|at several wikis]] can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|account creation experience on mobile]] and then increase participation.

For example, the bug that prevented mobile web users from seeing the block information when affected by multiple blocks has been fixed. They can now see messages of all the blocks currently affecting them when they access Wikipedia.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Images built using Toolforge will soon get the upgraded buildpacks version, bringing support for newer language versions and other upstream improvements and fixes. If you use Toolforge Build Service, review the recent [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EMYTA32EV2V5SQ2JIEOD2CL66YFIZEKV/ cloud-announce email] and update your build configuration as necessary to ensure your tools are compatible.

* The [https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page API Portal] documentation wiki will shut down in June 2026. API keys created on the API Portal will continue to work normally. api.wikimedia.org endpoints will be deprecated gradually starting in July 2026.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Beta version of [[abstract:|Abstract Wikipedia]] a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-26|Read more]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#2. Improve logged-out warning message (T415160)|Read more]].
* The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps]]. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap &quot;Edit&quot;. This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.

'''Updates for editors'''

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] now includes a new group goal-setting feature, enabling organizers to set and track event goals such as the number of articles created and participating contributors in real time. Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Collaborative contributions#Goal setting|the documentation]].
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist labels|watchlist labels]] feature (announced in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/07|Tech News 2026-07]]) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via [[Special:EditWatchlist|EditWatchlist]]. In all three places it is a new field following the expiry field.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|sub-referencing feature]], which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to [[phab:T414094|more wikis]] later this year. Wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]] gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at [[m:MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]] as shown [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1344408362 here]) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416304]
* All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|Read more]].
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Action API|Action API]] has had several formats for requested output. One of them, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;format=php&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Data formats#Output|JSON format]]. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118538]
* The [[Special:NamespaceInfo|Special:NamespaceInfo]] page now includes namespace aliases. For example &quot;WP&quot; for the &quot;Project&quot; (&quot;Wikipedia&quot;) namespace on the German Wikipedia. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381455]

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|Reading lists]] is a feature which allows readers to save articles to a list for reading later. This feature is now in beta on Arabic, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and by default for all new accounts on all Wikipedias.
* An experiment which explores extending [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Page Previews to mobile web]] will be launched in the week of April 20 on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page Previews are pop-ups that display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and a link to open the full article of a blue link, thereby improving content discovery. The feature is already available on desktop and in the apps. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/List of experiments in Product and Technology#Template|Read more about this experiment and others]].
* On several wikis, logged-in editors who haven't [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email confirmation|confirmed their email addresses]] can now see a banner encouraging them to do so. Having the email address confirmed allows a user to restore access to the account if they lose it.

* Following the recent implementation of global API rate limits on unidentified traffic, the Wikimedia Foundation will continue efforts to ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]] by applying global limits to identified API traffic beginning the last week of April.

'''Updates for editors'''
* There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484]
* All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the &quot;automatically enable most beta features&quot; option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading. This helps organize reading interests in one place for convenient access.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] team invites experienced editors of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance/Pilot wikis and collaborators|pilot Wikipedias]]—Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Portuguese, Persian, Turkish, Simple English, Spanish, and French—to help translate and adapt [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Category:Pages_using_article_guidance sample outlines]. These outlines will guide editors in creating clear, well-structured, and policy-compliant articles when using [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:NewArticle the feature] once it is launched in May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance#Adapting a sample outline in a Wikipedia|Simple instructions]] on how to translate and adapt the outlines are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] has published [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|draft recommendations]] on a model that affiliates can follow when contributing to the technical space. Community members are invited to provide feedback on the recommendation until May 8th [[:m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|on the talk page]].
* The number of available thumbnail size preferences in MediaWiki is being reduced to three standardized options—Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px), as part of ongoing efforts to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. As a result, existing preferences will be mapped to the nearest new size (for example, smaller selections like 120px or 150px will render at 180px, while larger ones like 300px or 360px will render at 400px). The preferences interface will soon be updated to reflect these changes, and users who wish to opt out or provide feedback can do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424909]
* From now on, even when a permission expires automatically, users will receive an Echo notification similar to the standard notification for permission changes. There is a difference between this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]] in that the latter reminds users a week ''before'' the rights are due to expire, so that they can renew the rights.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the problem where the ULS language selector in [[m:Special:Translate|Special:Translate]] would scroll vertically when it shouldn't, has been resolved. Previously, when users opened the &quot;Translate to English&quot; dropdown and typed certain inputs, the dialog would scroll vertically by a few pixels even when there was enough space to display all results. The dropdown no longer shifts unnecessarily when filtering languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358864] 
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]], which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page, continues to improve. For example, watchlists for Wikibase sites such as [[:d:|Wikidata]] now support [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:EntitySchema|EntitySchema]] elements for better tracking. The Live Updates mode now refreshes the special page every 60 seconds to comply with the updated [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] for improved real-time responsiveness. Additionally, a directionality bug that displayed links as &quot;changes 3&quot; instead of &quot;3 changes&quot; in mixed-direction lists has been fixed.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The second phase of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] has been rolled out to reduce the [[diffblog:2026/03/26/quo-vadis-crawlers-progress-and-whats-next-on-safeguarding-our-infrastructure/|impact of AI crawlers]] and ensure fair, sustainable access to Wikimedia resources, prioritising human and mission-aligned traffic. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits#Limits|Limits]] have been shifted from per-hour to per-minute, producing smoother traffic patterns and more predictable API load. Community users are not expected to be affected, and no action is required. Early indications show some User-Agent-based requestors are adjusting behaviour, and around 64% of automated API traffic has been identified. Monitoring continues, and Wikimedia Enterprise remains available for commercial support.

* Community Tech has published [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/How to write a good wish|new guidance]] explaining how wishes on Community Wishlist are triaged and prioritized. The documentation is intended to help contributors write stronger proposals by clarifying the factors that influence prioritization decisions. Beyond vote counts, the guidance highlights considerations such as potential impact on the community when determining which wishes move forward.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Reader Growth team is launching an experiment to test a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Share_Card|Share Card feature]] that allows readers to create visually engaging cards from Wikipedia articles or selected article sections and share them online, with each card linking back to the original article to help expand readership and article discovery. The mobile-only A/B test will be available to a portion of readers on Arabic, Chinese, French, Vietnamese, and English Wikipedia to better understand reading and sharing habits, and is scheduled to begin the week of May 18 and run for four weeks.
* The Android and iOS Wikipedia apps recently released the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/25th_Birthday_Reading_Challenge|25-day reading challenge]] into Beta, as part of efforts to drive reader engagement by encouraging users to complete reading milestones. To track their reading streak during the challenge, App users can add a widget featuring Baby Globe to their home screen. The challenge officially begins May 11.

* The Abstract Wikipedia team has identified five potential pilot wikis to assess their interest in adopting abstract articles on their wikis. The pilots are Malayalam, Bengali, Dagbani, Arabic, and Indonesian Wikipedia. The feedback period will be open until May 22. If your community is interested in becoming a pilot, [[m:Talk:Abstract Wikipedia|let us know on Meta]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* An experiment to show [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]] to logged-out readers on mobile web will launch on May 18 across German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu Wikipedias, and will run for one month. The effort supports broader goals of helping readers save and organize articles for later reading, while encouraging habits that could lead to future Wikipedia contributions.
* To support a bookmark button in the Reading List beta feature, the &quot;Tools &gt; Action&quot; menu has been updated to display icons, including the watch star indicator that helps editors identify temporarily watched articles. The icons now also match those used on mobile, improving consistency across platforms. The change is currently limited to the actions menu and mainly affects editors with privileged user rights. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T426008]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] was released as an [[w:en:A/B test|A/B test]] for newcomer editors on the mobile website at [[phab:T421189|~15 Wikipedias]]. The experiment will measure the impact that Suggestion Mode has on the proportion of newcomer mobile web edit sessions that result in constructive (un-reverted) article edits. The experiment will also evaluate the feature's impact on editor retention, and monitor changes in revert and block rates.

* On English, French, Japanese, and a few other Wikipedias, there was a [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|trial of hCaptcha]], a third-party bot detection service. The trial showed that hCaptcha effectively detects and deters some bad-faith automated activity, on its own and by giving [[w:en:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 225#Introducing SuggestedInvestigations|checkusers and stewards]] signals to look into. Because the results were positive, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis over the next few weeks. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|See the hCaptcha project page]] for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Following a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#LOWM|successful account creation experiment]], an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis in the first week of June. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424595] 

'''Updates for editors'''
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Members of these groups will be unable to disable the last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423119][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423120]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|WMDE Technical Wishes]] will run an [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B test]] on [[:phab:T415904|10 wikis]], testing [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/References/Reference Previews|potential improvements for Reference Previews]]. The experiment will run for ~2 weeks at the end of May / beginning of June and will affect 10% of desktop readers on the participating wikis.
* After two successful experiments, the Reader Growth team is rolling out an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature for all Wikipedias on mobile on May 25. This means that anyone who has all beta features on by default will start to see this feature, and others can check the box to turn it on in their preferences. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article's images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to [[mw:Readers/Reader_Growth/Image_Browsing#Phase_2.1_beta_feature|exclude images from the article's carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely]].

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] is conducting an experiment to show the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|reading lists]] feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists#Experiment timeline|experiment]] was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
* The Wikimedia Apps team released [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|Phase 1]] of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed &quot;Community&quot; tab and a personalized &quot;For You&quot; tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increased from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand access to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizations using Wikimedia content. [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|refreshed Explore Feed]], now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedia Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content through two new tabs: ''Community'' and ''For You''. The Community tab provides a scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedia community and movement, while the ''For You'' tab offers a full-screen, swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance the learning experience in the Wikipedia app.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/&quot;Which came first?&quot; Game|Which came first?]] daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's &quot;On This Day&quot; content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first. The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in making the game available in their languages can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Games#Game availability by language|read the instructions and requirements]].
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Wednesday|Group 1 wikis]] and French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving the feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-cite&amp;language=en&amp;action_source=search&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;optional=1&amp;action=translate untranslated Cite extension messages] in their language and reviewing any use of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]], which may require [[:phab:T416304#11668731|updates]] to support the new functionality. Wikis using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference Previews|Reference Previews]] do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the ''cite-tracking-category-ref-details'' [[Special:TrackingCategories|tracking category]] as a hidden category using &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__HIDDENCAT__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item [[d:Q129764848]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425662]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews#Experimentation|Page Previews experiment]] on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons|user interface icon library]] will be [[phab:T399175|updated later this week or next week]]. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universal Language Selector]] (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] in your profile preferences and share your feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/New ULS|the project page]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The function signature for &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mw.util.addPortletLink()&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; has been simplified. Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; use &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;addPortletLink()&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and update them where appropriate. This change will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunteer Gerges for contributing this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427945]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth|Reader Growth team]] has launched an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature on the mobile web version of all Wikipedias. The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use &lt;code&gt;class=notpageimage&lt;/code&gt; excluding it from thumbnail previews, or &lt;code&gt;class=noviewer&lt;/code&gt; excluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. To submit feedback or flag bugs, please visit the [[mw:Talk:Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|project page]]. 
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tables#class=&quot;wikitable&quot;|Wikitables]] can now be [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Sortable tables#Forcing the initial sort direction|sorted in descending order]] on the first click by adding &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;data-sort-order=&quot;desc&quot;&lt;/code&gt; to the header cell. Previously, by default, clicking a column header for the first time sorts it in ascending order. This addition to a Wikitable gives it more control and flexibility, while the default behavior for subsequent clicks remains unchanged. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398416]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] feature is currently being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. [[w:simple:Special:NewArticle|This feature]] gives editors community-curated guidance to help them create articles that follow community standards. Experienced editors can continue creating or adapting outlines for specific article types that are commonly created by less experienced contributors. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles. A quick guide to markups used in outlines can be found on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance/Test feature guide#Markups in outlines|this page]]. [[w:simple:Wikipedia:Article Guidance|Example outlines]] that can be adapted and instructions for how to adapt them are on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance#Adapting a sample outline in a Wikipedia|this section]] of the project page.
* Wikis that wish to replace the &quot;indefinitely&quot; button in Special:Block for temporary accounts (for example, wikis that block temporary users only until account expiration) will be able to do so by creating [[MediaWiki:ipb-indefinite-expiry-temporary-account]] with the block duration they want.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* By the end of June, a valid user-agent string will be required for automated dumps downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. This [[phab:T400119|extends enforcement]] of the long standing [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|user-agent policy]]. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services will not change.
* The roll out of global [[mw:Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|API rate limits]] is now complete, with limits enforced across all APIs and at the documented levels for all groups. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki remain exempt. All bots should continue to follow the documented best practices to avoid being rate limited.
* The [https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page API Portal wiki] will be read only starting this week (June 15-18). The following week (June 22-25), all API Portal wiki URLs will redirect to [[mw:Wikimedia APIs|Wikimedia APIs on mediawiki.org]]. Learn more on the [[wikitech:API Portal/Deprecation|project page]].

* As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]], the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to &quot;Create account&quot; and &quot;Log in&quot; actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428220]
* After a [[phab:T426248|successful experiment]], logged-in users who did not [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation|confirm their email address]] when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428292]
* An update to [[Special:Search|Search]] is refining how the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; without negation however remains unchanged.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/28|Translations]] are available.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:34}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:34|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429769]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In preparation for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Celebrate Women|Celebrate Women campaign]] planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement/Community Growth/Content Enablement|Content Enablement team]] has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Celebrate Women/Technical contributions survey|questions]] are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Score|Score extension]] now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing [[:phab:T49578|feature request]] and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;src&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute and SVG in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;srcset&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute.
* The new [[wikitech:Parsoid|Parsoid]] parser [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Updates|continues to be deployed to additional wikis]], making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.47/wmf.10|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''
* The Wikimedia Hackathon 2026 [[diffblog:2026/06/29/wikimedia-hackathon-2026-building-collaborating-and-shaping-the-future-together/|recap blog post]] is now live. It highlights the projects, sessions, and social activities from this year’s event, and shares initial plans for the 2027 Wikimedia Hackathon.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/29|Translations]] are available.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Revise_Tone|Revise Tone]] helps newcomers identify passages in Wikipedia articles that may contain non-encyclopedic language and encourages them to consider revising the tone. The feature was [[w:en:A/B_testing|A/B tested]] on the Arabic, English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias, where newcomer task completion rates [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Revise_Tone#Experiment_Results|increased by 38.7%]] compared to the default Copyedit task, with no decrease in edit quality. The test ended on July 9, and the feature is now available for everyone on these wikis, configurable via Community Configuration. [[phab:T426364|The plan]] is to release Revise Tone to more wikis.
* The community configuration that allows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship#Automated mentor list cleanup|automatic removal of inactive mentors]] based on configurable criteria will be enabled on Thursday 16, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Deployment|on some wikis]] to keep mentor lists up to date. Mentors are experienced contributors who opt in to help new users on-wiki through the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature summary|Growth Features]]. Administrators can now prepare the settings via [[w:Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship|Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship]]; they will take effect starting Thursday.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:38}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:38|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where some users of the Wikipedia Android app were logged out immediately after signing in, preventing them from staying logged in and editing pages, has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316916]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editing a page via user scripts or gadgets was causing watchlist labels that the user had assigned to that page to reset. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423778]
* To work around a Safari bug (see [[phab:T425211]]), on Parsoid-enabled wikis, wikilink hrefs now use absolute urls instead of protocol-relative urls. REST API output remains unchanged and continue to use protocol-relative urls. Gadgets, user scripts, bots, and CSS might need to be adapted if they relied on the presence of protocol-relative urls in wikilink hrefs. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T431358]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.47/wmf.11|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation’s Experiment Platform Team has published a blog post reflecting on its first year of structured experimentation. It highlights successful experiments such as Paste Check, Reference Check, and Tone Check, which improved editing outcomes and have been rolled out to more users, as well as experiments that did not lead to product changes.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/ContentTranslation|Content Translation]] now supports dark mode, fulfilling a [[m:Community Wishlist/W544|Community Wishlist request]]. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367077]
* DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), templates (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), HTML and parser tags (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), and magic words (&lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432400]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Readers Growth team]] has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
* The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists feature]], with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh|Explore Feed Refresh]] initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427201]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* After running several [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]] to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on [[Special:CreateAccount|Create Account]] has been rolled out. It includes [[:c:File:Create account - July 2026 updates.png|a popover summarizing the username policy]] to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-helpusername&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-help&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; that several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430604]
* Later this week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror syntax highlighter]] will offer [[w:en:Theme (computing)|themes]]. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#CodeMirror preferences|CodeMirror preferences]] dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing]]) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163533]
* From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the &quot;User&quot; namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgRestrictUserPageEditing|Read the configuration documentation]] to learn more.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.47/wmf.14|MediaWiki]]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] has developed a [https://82db7c8d4b.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=Regent%27s_Park&amp;uselang=de patch demo] that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429518]
* The Reader Experience team is planning to launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]], a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Mobile and apps/Have Apps reading lists available on Destop/Mobile|Community Wishlist item]], which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-readinglists&amp;filter=&amp;action=translate string translations] into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia.
* Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332644]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:24}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:24|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where some [[w:TIFF|TIFF]] images failed to load after clicking their thumbnail, causing a broken image to be displayed instead of the full-size image, has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429326]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323698]
* The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358266]

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] A new ChartWizard is [[c:Special:ChartWizard/Data:Example.Pie.chart|now available on Wikimedia Commons]] for users interested in creating charts from their own data. The wizard makes the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] more beginner-friendly by allowing editors to create charts, such as bar and pie charts, without needing to use JSON. Users can still switch to the JSON editor if they prefer. Feedback on the new tool is welcome on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist/W414|wish talk page]].
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:19}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:19|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where the Wikipedia iOS app’s Picture of the Day widget displayed the same image every day instead of updating daily, has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430692]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Math|Math formula]] SVG images will soon be generated in the browser instead of on the server. MathML continues to be generated on the server and renders in the browser without JavaScript. Wikibooks will see this change on 12 August, Wikisource on 19 August and Wikipedia from 20-27 August. You can try this by selecting &quot;{{int:Mw-math-mathjax}}&quot; in your preferences. This change is part of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RESTBase/deprecation|deprecating RESTBase]] and [[phab:T431372|deprecating Mathoid]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271001]
* Category pages will soon support sorting entries by the time they are added to a category. This will make it easier to find recently or long-standing categorized pages. It will also improve workflows for maintenance categories such as deletion backlogs and other time-based review tasks. You can use &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;cldsort=timestamp&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; URL argument in category view to sort the entries. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T433768]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Gadgets|Gadgets]] and user scripts on Wikimedia wikis may now use [[phab:T395347|ES2018 features]] and [[phab:T419142|ES2019 features]] in JavaScript code. Previously, the platform only allowed up to ES2017. MediaWiki validates the source code to protect functionality from syntax errors and to ensure scripts are valid in all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Compatibility#Browser_support_matrix|supported browsers]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419142]

He began his literary career in 1998 writing screenplays, stage plays, retellings and translations; he began to publish novels in 2008. Ó Scolaí is widely recognized as a leading figure in contemporary Irish literature, known as “one of the most important Irish language writers of his generation”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Poirtéir|first=Cathal|date=2022|title=? Suil an Daill: Constant Tensions and Shifting Allegiances|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/suil-an-daill-constant-tensions-and-shifting-allegiances/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; and &quot;one of the great Irish language novelists [duine d’úrscéalaithe móra na Gaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; His writing has been called “the high literature of the Irish language.”&lt;ref&gt;Ó Coimín, Maitiú. ''Nós'' 2 February 2018). Qtd. in &quot;Táin Bó Cuailnge.&quot; ''Leabhar Breac''. Retrieved 25 August 2025.&lt;/ref&gt;

Much of his fiction is based on a knowledge of traditional Irish tales and narrative practices as well as Irish history. He specializes in literary and [[wikipedia:Historical_fiction|historical fiction]], or as novelist Alan Titley says, Ó Scolaí’s “peak (for now), or at least his greatest imaginative interest, is the historical novel [tá an chuma air gurb é a bhuaic (go fóill), nó ar a laghad, a mhórspéis samhlaíochta, an t-úrscéal staire].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Titley|first=Alan|date=Fall 2020|title=An Stíl Go Deo!: Soather Dharach Uí Scolaí (The style would be forever!: Worker Darach Ó Scolaí)|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27046090|journal=Comhar|volume=80, No. 10|pages=27|via=JSTOR}}&lt;/ref&gt; His retellings of old stories and tales from their original Middle and Early-Modern Irish into Modern Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]) are respected for their accessibility to students and language learners as well as for their artistry.

Ó Scolaí also regularly reviews books and lectures and writes on literature and culture. 

Beyond his writing, Ó Scolaí is a publisher and has co-produced a number of film, television shows and stage plays. 

== Life ==
Ó Scolaí was born in Dublin and raised in the Galway [[wikipedia:Gaeltacht#Galway Gaeltacht|Gaeltacht]] (Irish-speaking) regions of Cois Fharraige on the north shore of Galway Bay, in the Republic of Ireland, where he lives now with his wife and children in Lochán Beag (Indreabhán).&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=30 October 2024|title=Duais don úrscéal liteartha is fearr buaite ag Darach Ó Scolaí ag Oireachtas na Samhna|url=https://tuairisc.ie/duais-don-ursceal-liteartha-is-fearr-buaite-ag-darach-o-scolai-ag-oireachtas-na-samhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Scolaí|first=Aifric|date=2024|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://www.taiscecf.ie/ealaiontoiri?category=Scr%C3%ADbhneoir|journal=Taisce Chois Fharraige}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Writing and Publishing ===
Ó Scolaí writes in Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]), his native language, and lives in an area defined for the predominant presence of Irish as the vernacular language, the language spoken at home.

None of his works has been translated into English.

== Critical Reception ==
Ó Scolaí’s style has been called “crisp and elegant, and rich in language while being highly readable,”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Heussaf|first=Anna|date=Summer 2025|title=Bláthnaid—A tale of love, violence and sorcery retold for readers today|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/blathnaid-a-tale-of-love-violence-and-sorcery/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; with “an unsurpassed richness and precision of language.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ó Cróinín|first=Breandán|date=Summer 2025|title=unknown|journal=The Limerick Leader}}&lt;/ref&gt; “Whimsical, hilarious, and subtly learned” is how Éilis Ní Dhuibhne described his writing.&lt;ref name=&quot;:20&quot; /&gt;   

=== Original Works ===
Ó Scolaí’s first novel, the 2007 ''An Cléireach'' (''The Clerk'') won two prizes and was described as “one of the great historical novels in the Irish language and among the best books written in the language since the beginning of this century.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot; /&gt; Novelist Alan Titley says, “In ''An Cléireach'' Ó Scolaí creates the Ireland of war in the 17th century more fully than any other Irish writer on the subject of war since ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Ó Thuairisc around 1798 [In ''An Cléireach'' cruthaíonn Ó Scolaí Éire an chogaidh san 17ú haois níos iomláine ná mar a dhein aon scríbhneoir Gaeilge eile ar ábhar cogaidh ó ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Uí Thuairisc timpeall ar 1798].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot; /&gt;{{rp|25, Col. 1a}} Not all the reviews of this first novel were so positive, however; Proinsias O' Drisceoil says for the Irish Times says,&lt;blockquote&gt;This then is a novel in search of a plot, a story that attempts to attain a significance that eludes it.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/a-disaffected-clerk-in-the-confederates-1.943070|title=A disaffected clerk in the confederates|last=O' Drisceoil|first=Proinsias|date=5 July 2008|work=The Irish Times|access-date=16 October 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In the ''Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction'' Pádraig Ó Siadhail analyzes rather than reviews ''An Cléireach'': &lt;blockquote&gt;In ''An Cléireach'', Ó Scolaí revisits the trauma of Cromwellian Ireland. The primary narrative device is once again the first-hand account, in this case by Tadhg Ó Dúbháin, a clerk and quartermaster in the Confederate Army in 1650. We sample the hardships, the friendships, the tensions, the rivalries, and the petty jealousies amongst comrades in arms, including remnants of the Gaelic literary class, as the Confederate soldiers, increasingly a rabble more than a cohesive unit, retreat in advance of Cromwell’s forces. ''An Cléireach'' concludes with the narrator and his family in exile in continental Europe. But along the retreat route, and central to the novel, members of the Confederate army camp, rest up, and tell versions of a story about the keeper of the treasured manuscript &quot;Saltair an Easpaig&quot; (The Bishop’s Psalter). Their versions raise issues about memory construction, the limitations of individual perspectives, personal agendas, and how minor changes in the telling of a story can alter our understanding of history, Thus, ''An Cléireach'' complements ''Fontenoy'' in moving beyond more realistic recreation of a historical event or period to interrogate the notion of history as construct.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction|last=Ó Siadhail|first=Pádraig|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2020|isbn=9780198754893|editor-last=Harte|editor-first=Liam|pages=598–99|chapter=Contemporary Irish Fiction}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of ''Súil an Daill,'' in ''Nós'', Cathal Seoighe says, &quot;The book deserves a significant place among the collection of high-quality books published in recent years that would make you feel sorry for someone who does not speak Irish [Tá áit shuntasach ag dul don leabhar i measc an chnuasaigh leabhair ar ardchaighdeán a foilsíodh le roinnt blianta anuas a d’fhágfadh trua agat don té atá gan Ghaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Seoighe|first=Cathal|date=09/26/2022|title=‘Dar leathmhagairle an diabhail, is leabhar den scoth é seo!’ ['According to the devil’s half-wit, this is a great book!’]|url=https://nos.ie/cultur/leabhair/dar-leathmhagairle-an-diabhail-is-leabhar-den-scoth-e-seo/|journal=Nós}}&lt;/ref&gt;

''Bódléar'', Ó Scolaí's most recent book, is a “beautiful novel. There is magic and craftsmanship in it.

=== Retellings and Translations ===

==== ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' ====
''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' [''The Cattle Raid of Cooley''] is a modern edition of an 11th-century epic into modern Irish.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Gearóid Denvir reviewed ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'':&lt;blockquote&gt;Darach Ó Scolaí has ​​achieved a feat in this challenging reworking. He has found a high level of the Irish language to tell his story – as he has done before in his groundbreaking novel An Cléireach (2007, Leabhar Breac) and in his other prose works. This book is a decoration of the language, literature and culture of the Irish language, following the path of the old storytellers and writers and presenting material from the tradition to his own generation according to the understandings of his own time. The book will be a classic that will be of great interest to all readers of the Irish language, both ordinary readers, students, scholars and writers, and there should be a copy in every home in the country. [Tá éacht déanta ag Darach Ó Scolaí san athleagan dúshlánach seo.

Marie Whelton, in &quot;Léann Teanga&quot; (&quot;Language Studies&quot;), in the 2024 ''An Reiviú'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;this version [of ''Deirdre''] by Darach Ó Scolaí succeeds in skillfully capturing and portraying the complexity of gender and power issues in the ‘Deirdre’ tradition [éiríonn leis an leagan seo le Darach Ó Scolaí castacht cheisteanna na hinscne agus na cumhachta i dtraidisiún scéal Dheirdre a ghabháil agus a léiriú go sciliúil]. … There is no doubt that this new version greatly contributes to the legacy of the story and that it revives that legacy thoughtfully and artistically [Níl amhras faoi ach go gcuireann an leagan úr seo go mór le hoidhreacht an scéil agus go ndéanann sé an oidhreacht sin a athbheochan go tuisceanach agus go healaíonta.].&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.tara.tcd.ie/tara8/server/api/core/bitstreams/3c20175a-7631-44b2-8b0f-f454edd712b4/content|title=An Artistic Retelling of Deirdre's Tale and the Defeat of Conor Review of Deirdre or the Ship of Mac Uisnigh by Darach Ó Scolaí [Athinsint Ealaíonta ar Oidhe Dheirdre agus ar Ansmacht Chonchúir Léirmheas ar Deirdre nó Loingeas Mhac Uisnigh le Darach Ó Scolaí]|last=Whelton|first=Marie|date=2024|website=The Review [An Reiviú], Language Studies [Léann Teanga]|access-date=25 September 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Things Taken Out for Now ===
“’The play is a comedy about language, lies, bureaucracy and Gaeltacht grants, in the tradition of Myles na Gcopaleen,’ according to Norma-Jean Kenny in the ''Galway Advertizer'', ‘in which the author comments and criticizes the institutions of the Irish language in Ireland without ceasing.’&quot;

Supposedly a quotation by Gearóid Denvir reviewing ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'' (but I don't find it in the article):

This book has long been needed by Irish language readers and there is no doubt that it will become a classic in time and surpass Thomas Kinsella’s English version. This version remains faithful to the language of the original while at the same time finding an appropriate language in today’s Irish. Ó Scolaí masterfully overcomes the difficulties of the original’s rhetorical difficulties and the versions of the original poetic texts are extremely effective.[supposedly &lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;]

“The biggest prize ever awarded for a novel in Irish was presented at a special ceremony in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, today (Thursday, 4 October 2007). Darach Ó Scolaí, writer, artist &amp; playwright from Casla, Co. Galway, was awarded €10,000 for his literary novel, ‘An Ardscoil’. This work, under the new title ‘An Cléireach’, will be launched at Oireachtas na Samhna in Westport in November. This is the first novel from his pen, a story set in the late seventeenth century. This competition was sponsored by the Franciscan Province of Ireland.” (archive, Oireachtas na Gaeilge site, 04 October, 2007)

==Design==
The lace was designed by [[William Dyce]], head of the then Government School of Design (later known as the [[Royal College of Art]]), and mounted on a white satin dress made by [[Mary Bettans]].&lt;ref name=wed&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8466914/How-will-The-Dress-measure-up-to-history.html|title= How will The Dress measure up to history?|access-date=1 May 2011|work= The Daily Telegraph|location=London|first=Hilary|last=Alexander|date=22 April 2011}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The plain, cream-coloured satin gown was made from fabric woven in [[Spitalfields]], east London, and trimmed with a deep flounce and trimmings of lace hand-made in [[Honiton]] and [[Beer, Devon|Beer]], in [[Devon]].&lt;ref name=wed/&gt; This demonstrated support for English industry, particularly the [[cottage industry]] for lace.&lt;ref name=&quot;Khalje1997&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=wed/&gt; The handmade lace motifs were [[appliqué]]d onto cotton machine-made net.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lace crafts quarterly&quot;&gt;{{cite book|title=Lace crafts quarterly|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BblOAAAAYAAJ|access-date=1 May 2011|year=1987|publisher=Eunice Sein}}&lt;/ref&gt; Orange blossoms, a symbol of fertility, also trimmed the dress and made up a wreath, which Victoria wore instead of a tiara over her veil. The veil, which matched the flounce of the dress, was four yards in length and 0.75 yards wide. Victoria's jewellery consisted of a necklace and earrings made of diamonds presented to her by the Sultan of Turkey, and a sapphire cluster brooch given to her by Albert a day earlier. The slippers she wore matched the white of the dress. The train of the dress, carried by her bridesmaids, measured {{Convert|18|ft}} in length.

Queen Victoria described her choice of dress in her journal thus: &quot;I wore a white satin dress, with a deep flounce of Honiton lace, an imitation of an old design. My jewels were my Turkish diamond necklace &amp; earrings &amp; dear Albert's beautiful sapphire brooch.&quot;

===Reenactments===
While photography existed in 1840, the techniques were not yet fully developed. A series of photographs taken by [[Roger Fenton]] on 11 May 1854 of Victoria and Albert are often described as wedding or reenactment photographs, with the dress identified as her wedding dress.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Avenell|first=Matthew|title=Representations of Queen Victoria in Official Painted &amp; Photographic Portraits|url=http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofEnglish/visual-culture/painting/Victoria-portraits.html|publisher=Victorian Visual Culture|access-date=11 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Royal weddings in history|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/royalty/8137332/Royal-weddings-in-history.html|access-date=11 June 2013|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph}}&lt;/ref&gt; The Royal Collection has refuted these interpretations, stating that the images are the first photographs to show Victoria as a queen, rather than as a wife or mother, and that she and Albert are wearing [[Court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom|court dress]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Buckingham Palace|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=22&amp;object=2906513&amp;row=21&amp;detail=about|publisher=The Royal Collection|access-date=12 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Victoria &amp; Albert: art &amp; love|year=2010|publisher=Royal Collection |location=London |isbn=9781905686216 |editor=Jonathan Marsden}}, cited on {{Royal Collection|2906513|Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace 11 May 1854|[[Roger Fenton]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1847, Victoria commissioned [[Franz Xaver Winterhalter]] to paint a portrait of her wearing her wedding clothes as an anniversary present for Prince Albert.&lt;ref name=haslem&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria in her wedding dress by John Haslem after Winterhalter, 1848|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=21&amp;object=421993&amp;row=20&amp;detail=about|publisher=Royal Collections}}&lt;/ref&gt; The portrait was also copied as an enamel miniature by [[John Haslem (artist)|John Haslem]].&lt;ref name=haslem/&gt;

Victoria revisited the lace-makers to create the [[royal christening gown]] worn by her children, including Albert Edward (the future [[Edward VII]]).&lt;ref name=&quot;Heptinstall2008&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Simon Heptinstall|title=Devon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kgl-bkW9a8sC&amp;pg=PA98|access-date=1 May 2011|date=15 June 2008|publisher=Crimson Publishing|isbn=978-1-85458-426-7|page=98}}{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&lt;/ref&gt; This gown was worn for the christening of all subsequent royal babies until the baptism of [[James, Viscount Severn]] in 2008, when a replica was used for the first time.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Queen sees grandson's christening|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7354474.stm|work=19 April 2008|date=19 April 2008 |publisher=BBC News|access-date=5 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; As a mark of support for the Honiton industry, in addition to often wearing their lace on her and her children's clothes, Victoria insisted her daughters also order Honiton lace for their wedding dresses.&lt;ref name=staniland/&gt;

==Influence==
Wearing white was quickly adopted by wealthy, fashionable brides.  Less than a decade later, ''[[Godey's Lady's Book]]'' would incorrectly claim that white wedding gowns were an ancient custom reflecting a bride's virginity, writing &quot;Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material. It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one&quot;, even though white had been a distinctly uncommon choice for bridal gowns before Victoria's wedding and was not chosen by a majority of brides until decades later.&lt;ref name=WP/&gt;

Following the 2011 [[wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton]], comparisons were drawn between the bride's [[Wedding dress of Kate Middleton|white wedding dress]] and Queen Victoria's.&lt;ref name=&quot;WP&quot;/&gt;

== Darach Ó Scolaí ==
Darach Ó Scolaí (&lt;small&gt;Irish:&lt;/small&gt; [/ˈda.rax/ /oː/ /sˠkˠoː/l̪ˠəi/]; born 1963&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://portraidi.ie/en/darach-o-scolai/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=20 October 2017|website=Portráidí (Portraits of Irish-Language Writers)|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;) is an Irish author who works in a number of genres, from novels, plays and screenplays to illustrated books for children and adults. He began his literary career in 1998 writing screenplays, stage plays, retellings and translations; he began to publish novels in 2008. Ó Scolaí is widely recognized as a leading figure in contemporary Irish literature, known as “one of the most important Irish language writers of his generation”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Poirtéir|first=Cathal|date=2022|title=? Suil an Daill: Constant Tensions and Shifting Allegiances|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/suil-an-daill-constant-tensions-and-shifting-allegiances/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; and &quot;one of the great Irish language novelists [duine d’úrscéalaithe móra na Gaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; His writing has been called “the high literature of the Irish language.”&lt;ref&gt;Ó Coimín, Maitiú. ''Nós'' 2 February 2018). Qtd. in &quot;Táin Bó Cuailnge.&quot; ''Leabhar Breac''. Retrieved 25 August 2025.&lt;/ref&gt;

Much of his fiction is based on a knowledge of traditional Irish tales and narrative practices as well as Irish history. He specializes in literary and [[wikipedia:Historical_fiction|historical fiction]], or as novelist Alan Titley says, Ó Scolaí’s “peak (for now), or at least his greatest imaginative interest, is the historical novel [tá an chuma air gurb é a bhuaic (go fóill), nó ar a laghad, a mhórspéis samhlaíochta, an t-úrscéal staire].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Titley|first=Alan|date=Fall 2020|title=An Stíl Go Deo!: Soather Dharach Uí Scolaí (The style would be forever!: Worker Darach Ó Scolaí)|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27046090|journal=Comhar|volume=80, No. 10|pages=27|via=JSTOR}}&lt;/ref&gt; His retellings of old stories and tales from their original Middle and Early-Modern Irish into Modern Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]) are respected for their accessibility to students and language learners as well as for their artistry.

Ó Scolaí also regularly reviews books and lectures and writes on literature and culture. 

Beyond his writing, Ó Scolaí is a publisher and has co-produced a number of film, television shows and stage plays. 

== Life ==
Ó Scolaí was born in Dublin and raised in the Galway [[wikipedia:Gaeltacht#Galway Gaeltacht|Gaeltacht]] (Irish-speaking) regions of Cois Fharraige on the north shore of Galway Bay, in the Republic of Ireland, where he lives now with his wife and children in Lochán Beag (Indreabhán).&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=30 October 2024|title=Duais don úrscéal liteartha is fearr buaite ag Darach Ó Scolaí ag Oireachtas na Samhna|url=https://tuairisc.ie/duais-don-ursceal-liteartha-is-fearr-buaite-ag-darach-o-scolai-ag-oireachtas-na-samhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Scolaí|first=Aifric|date=2024|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://www.taiscecf.ie/ealaiontoiri?category=Scr%C3%ADbhneoir|journal=Taisce Chois Fharraige}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

He graduated the [[wikipedia:University_of_Galway|University of Galway]] (then University College Galway) with a B.A. in 1983.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/darach-ó-scolaí-20026920/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|last=Ó Scolaí|first=Darach|date=August 2025|website=LinkedIn}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

=== Writing and Publishing ===
Ó Scolaí writes in Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]), his native language, and lives in an area defined for the predominant presence of Irish as the vernacular language, the language spoken at home. Irish was the language of his parents' home and is the language of children as well. He is fluent in Irish and English and conversant in French. 

None of his works has been translated into English. 

==== Leabhar Breac ====
In 1995 Darach Ó Scolaí and his brother Caomhán Ó Scolaí — a [[wikipedia:Typography|typographer]] and designer — founded the publishing house Leabhar Breac at Indreabhán (Inverin), County Galway. Their father “Séamas Ó Scolaí was an editor at An Gúm and worked on the Irish-English dictionary team [bhí a n-athair Séamas Ó Scolaí ina eagarthóir sa Ghúm agus d’oibrigh sé ar fhoireann an fhoclóra Gaeilge-Béarla].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/about-us/|title=About Us|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Darach Ó Scolaí has been publisher and literary editor at Leabhar Breac since its founding. 

Named for [[wikipedia:An_Leabhar_Breac|An Leabhar Breac (The Speckled Book)]], Leabhar Breac publishing house has more than 140 books in print.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Leabhar Breac aims to publish Irish-language books that meet “a high literary and artistic standard.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Besides the content, Leabhar Breac is known for the typically &quot;superb [thar cionn]&quot; quality of the design and production of the &quot;physical book [leabhar fisiciúil].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Mhuilneoir|first=Gráinne|date=30 July 2024|title=‘Bláthnaid’ – leabhar álainn i sraithín álainn faoi mhná|url=https://tuairisc.ie/blathnaid-leabhar-alainn-i-sraithin-alainn-faoi-mhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt; Its books regularly win awards for literary and artistic quality. Leabhar Breac also publishes translations for children and adults from various early versions of Irish as well as from French and English (and has published translations of books for young readers from Spanish, Catalan, and Italian as well).

Leabhar Breac prints its books in Ireland.

=== For Young Readers ===
Ó Scolaí has written illustrated books for young readers (8–10 years old) in two series, the Fionn Series and the Scéalta Staire series, and translated a large number of classics and popular books for children of all ages. The number of these written and translated works suggests a commitment to children and their literacy in Irish. 

The Fionn Series “is a retelling ... of the great legends of the Fianna for the young Irish readers of today.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/shop/oige-en/8-9/doiteoir-na-samhna/|title=Dóiteoir na Samhna|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[wikipedia:The_Boyhood_Deeds_of_Fionn|Macgnímartha Finn (The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn)]] is a medieval story in the [[wikipedia:Fenian_Cycle|Fenian Cycle]].

== Critical Reception ==
Ó Scolaí’s style has been called “crisp and elegant, and rich in language while being highly readable,”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Heussaf|first=Anna|date=Summer 2025|title=Bláthnaid—A tale of love, violence and sorcery retold for readers today|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/blathnaid-a-tale-of-love-violence-and-sorcery/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; with “an unsurpassed richness and precision of language.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ó Cróinín|first=Breandán|date=Summer 2025|title=unknown|journal=The Limerick Leader}}&lt;/ref&gt; “Whimsical, hilarious, and subtly learned” is how Éilis Ní Dhuibhne described his writing.&lt;ref name=&quot;:20&quot; /&gt;   

=== Original Works ===
Ó Scolaí’s first novel, the 2007 ''An Cléireach'' (''The Clerk'') won two prizes and was described as “one of the great historical novels in the Irish language and among the best books written in the language since the beginning of this century.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot; /&gt; Novelist Alan Titley says, “In ''An Cléireach'' Ó Scolaí creates the Ireland of war in the 17th century more fully than any other Irish writer on the subject of war since ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Ó Thuairisc around 1798 [In ''An Cléireach'' cruthaíonn Ó Scolaí Éire an chogaidh san 17ú haois níos iomláine ná mar a dhein aon scríbhneoir Gaeilge eile ar ábhar cogaidh ó ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Uí Thuairisc timpeall ar 1798].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot; /&gt;{{rp|25, Col. 1a}} Not all the reviews of this first novel were so positive, however; Proinsias O' Drisceoil says for the Irish Times says,&lt;blockquote&gt;This then is a novel in search of a plot, a story that attempts to attain a significance that eludes it.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/a-disaffected-clerk-in-the-confederates-1.943070|title=A disaffected clerk in the confederates|last=O' Drisceoil|first=Proinsias|date=5 July 2008|work=The Irish Times|access-date=16 October 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In the ''Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction'' Pádraig Ó Siadhail analyzes rather than reviews ''An Cléireach'': &lt;blockquote&gt;In ''An Cléireach'', Ó Scolaí revisits the trauma of Cromwellian Ireland. The primary narrative device is once again the first-hand account, in this case by Tadhg Ó Dúbháin, a clerk and quartermaster in the Confederate Army in 1650. We sample the hardships, the friendships, the tensions, the rivalries, and the petty jealousies amongst comrades in arms, including remnants of the Gaelic literary class, as the Confederate soldiers, increasingly a rabble more than a cohesive unit, retreat in advance of Cromwell’s forces. ''An Cléireach'' concludes with the narrator and his family in exile in continental Europe. But along the retreat route, and central to the novel, members of the Confederate army camp, rest up, and tell versions of a story about the keeper of the treasured manuscript &quot;Saltair an Easpaig&quot; (The Bishop’s Psalter). Their versions raise issues about memory construction, the limitations of individual perspectives, personal agendas, and how minor changes in the telling of a story can alter our understanding of history, Thus, ''An Cléireach'' complements ''Fontenoy'' in moving beyond more realistic recreation of a historical event or period to interrogate the notion of history as construct.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction|last=Ó Siadhail|first=Pádraig|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2020|isbn=9780198754893|editor-last=Harte|editor-first=Liam|pages=598–99|chapter=Contemporary Irish Fiction}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Retellings and Translations ===

==== ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' ====
''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' [''The Cattle Raid of Cooley''] is a modern edition of an 11th-century epic into modern Irish.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Gearóid Denvir reviewed ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'':&lt;blockquote&gt;Darach Ó Scolaí has ​​achieved a feat in this challenging reworking. He has found a high level of the Irish language to tell his story – as he has done before in his groundbreaking novel An Cléireach (2007, Leabhar Breac) and in his other prose works. This book is a decoration of the language, literature and culture of the Irish language, following the path of the old storytellers and writers and presenting material from the tradition to his own generation according to the understandings of his own time. The book will be a classic that will be of great interest to all readers of the Irish language, both ordinary readers, students, scholars and writers, and there should be a copy in every home in the country. [Tá éacht déanta ag Darach Ó Scolaí san athleagan dúshlánach seo. Tá réim ard den teanga Ghaeilge aimsithe aige lena scéal a inseacht – mar a rinne sé cheana ina úrscéal ceannródaíoch An Cléireach (2007, Leabhar Breac) agus i saothair eile phróis dá chuid. Is maisiú ar an teanga agus ar litríocht agus cultúr na Gaeilge an leabhar seo a leanas conair na seanscéalaithe agus na seanscríobhaithe agus ábhar de chuid an traidisiúin á chur i láthair a ghlúine féin aige de réir thuiscintí a linne féin.

==== ''Deirdre'' ====

Marie Whelton, in &quot;Léann Teanga&quot; (&quot;Language Studies&quot;), in the 2024 ''An Reiviú'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;this version [of ''Deirdre''] by Darach Ó Scolaí succeeds in skillfully capturing and portraying the complexity of gender and power issues in the ‘Deirdre’ tradition [éiríonn leis an leagan seo le Darach Ó Scolaí castacht cheisteanna na hinscne agus na cumhachta i dtraidisiún scéal Dheirdre a ghabháil agus a léiriú go sciliúil]. … There is no doubt that this new version greatly contributes to the legacy of the story and that it revives that legacy thoughtfully and artistically [Níl amhras faoi ach go gcuireann an leagan úr seo go mór le hoidhreacht an scéil agus go ndéanann sé an oidhreacht sin a athbheochan go tuisceanach agus go healaíonta.].&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.tara.tcd.ie/tara8/server/api/core/bitstreams/3c20175a-7631-44b2-8b0f-f454edd712b4/content|title=An Artistic Retelling of Deirdre's Tale and the Defeat of Conor Review of Deirdre or the Ship of Mac Uisnigh by Darach Ó Scolaí [Athinsint Ealaíonta ar Oidhe Dheirdre agus ar Ansmacht Chonchúir Léirmheas ar Deirdre nó Loingeas Mhac Uisnigh le Darach Ó Scolaí]|last=Whelton|first=Marie|date=2024|website=The Review [An Reiviú], Language Studies [Léann Teanga]|access-date=25 September 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Things Taken Out for Now ===
“’The play is a comedy about language, lies, bureaucracy and Gaeltacht grants, in the tradition of Myles na Gcopaleen,’ according to Norma-Jean Kenny in the ''Galway Advertizer'', ‘in which the author comments and criticizes the institutions of the Irish language in Ireland without ceasing.’&quot;

Supposedly a quotation by Gearóid Denvir reviewing ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'' (but I don't find it in the article):

This book has long been needed by Irish language readers and there is no doubt that it will become a classic in time and surpass Thomas Kinsella’s English version. This version remains faithful to the language of the original while at the same time finding an appropriate language in today’s Irish. Ó Scolaí masterfully overcomes the difficulties of the original’s rhetorical difficulties and the versions of the original poetic texts are extremely effective.[supposedly &lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;]

“The biggest prize ever awarded for a novel in Irish was presented at a special ceremony in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, today (Thursday, 4 October 2007). Darach Ó Scolaí, writer, artist &amp; playwright from Casla, Co. Galway, was awarded €10,000 for his literary novel, ‘An Ardscoil’. This work, under the new title ‘An Cléireach’, will be launched at Oireachtas na Samhna in Westport in November. This is the first novel from his pen, a story set in the late seventeenth century. This competition was sponsored by the Franciscan Province of Ireland.” (archive, Oireachtas na Gaeilge site, 04 October, 2007)

==Design==
The lace was designed by [[William Dyce]], head of the then Government School of Design (later known as the [[Royal College of Art]]), and mounted on a white satin dress made by [[Mary Bettans]].&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot;&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8466914/How-will-The-Dress-measure-up-to-history.html|title= How will The Dress measure up to history?|access-date=1 May 2011|work= The Daily Telegraph|location=London|first=Hilary|last=Alexander|date=22 April 2011}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The plain, cream-coloured satin gown was made from fabric woven in [[Spitalfields]], east London, and trimmed with a deep flounce and trimmings of lace hand-made in [[Honiton]] and [[Beer, Devon|Beer]], in [[Devon]].&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot; /&gt; This demonstrated support for English industry, particularly the [[cottage industry]] for lace.&lt;ref name=&quot;Khalje1997&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot; /&gt; The handmade lace motifs were [[appliqué]]d onto cotton machine-made net.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lace crafts quarterly&quot;&gt;{{cite book|title=Lace crafts quarterly|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BblOAAAAYAAJ|access-date=1 May 2011|year=1987|publisher=Eunice Sein}}&lt;/ref&gt; Orange blossoms, a symbol of fertility, also trimmed the dress and made up a wreath, which Victoria wore instead of a tiara over her veil. The veil, which matched the flounce of the dress, was four yards in length and 0.75 yards wide. Victoria's jewellery consisted of a necklace and earrings made of diamonds presented to her by the Sultan of Turkey, and a sapphire cluster brooch given to her by Albert a day earlier. The slippers she wore matched the white of the dress. The train of the dress, carried by her bridesmaids, measured {{Convert|18|ft}} in length.

Queen Victoria described her choice of dress in her journal thus: &quot;I wore a white satin dress, with a deep flounce of Honiton lace, an imitation of an old design. My jewels were my Turkish diamond necklace &amp; earrings &amp; dear Albert's beautiful sapphire brooch.&quot;

===Reenactments===
While photography existed in 1840, the techniques were not yet fully developed. A series of photographs taken by [[Roger Fenton]] on 11 May 1854 of Victoria and Albert are often described as wedding or reenactment photographs, with the dress identified as her wedding dress.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Avenell|first=Matthew|title=Representations of Queen Victoria in Official Painted &amp; Photographic Portraits|url=http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofEnglish/visual-culture/painting/Victoria-portraits.html|publisher=Victorian Visual Culture|access-date=11 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Royal weddings in history|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/royalty/8137332/Royal-weddings-in-history.html|access-date=11 June 2013|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph}}&lt;/ref&gt; The Royal Collection has refuted these interpretations, stating that the images are the first photographs to show Victoria as a queen, rather than as a wife or mother, and that she and Albert are wearing [[Court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom|court dress]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Buckingham Palace|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=22&amp;object=2906513&amp;row=21&amp;detail=about|publisher=The Royal Collection|access-date=12 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Victoria &amp; Albert: art &amp; love|year=2010|publisher=Royal Collection |location=London |isbn=9781905686216 |editor=Jonathan Marsden}}, cited on {{Royal Collection|2906513|Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace 11 May 1854|[[Roger Fenton]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1847, Victoria commissioned [[Franz Xaver Winterhalter]] to paint a portrait of her wearing her wedding clothes as an anniversary present for Prince Albert.&lt;ref name=&quot;haslem&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria in her wedding dress by John Haslem after Winterhalter, 1848|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=21&amp;object=421993&amp;row=20&amp;detail=about|publisher=Royal Collections}}&lt;/ref&gt; The portrait was also copied as an enamel miniature by [[John Haslem (artist)|John Haslem]].&lt;ref name=&quot;haslem&quot; /&gt;

Victoria revisited the lace-makers to create the [[royal christening gown]] worn by her children, including Albert Edward (the future [[Edward VII]]).&lt;ref name=&quot;Heptinstall2008&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Simon Heptinstall|title=Devon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kgl-bkW9a8sC&amp;pg=PA98|access-date=1 May 2011|date=15 June 2008|publisher=Crimson Publishing|isbn=978-1-85458-426-7|page=98}}{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&lt;/ref&gt; This gown was worn for the christening of all subsequent royal babies until the baptism of [[James, Viscount Severn]] in 2008, when a replica was used for the first time.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Queen sees grandson's christening|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7354474.stm|work=19 April 2008|date=19 April 2008 |publisher=BBC News|access-date=5 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; As a mark of support for the Honiton industry, in addition to often wearing their lace on her and her children's clothes, Victoria insisted her daughters also order Honiton lace for their wedding dresses.&lt;ref name=&quot;staniland&quot; /&gt;

Victoria also wore her wedding lace mounted on the dresses she wore to the christenings of her nine children (except for Albert Edward's, for which she wore her [[Order of the Garter|Garter robes]]).&lt;ref name=&quot;poaq&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Munson|first=Richard Mullen &amp; James|title=Victoria : portrait of a queen|year=1987|publisher=British Broadcasting Corp.|location=London|isbn=0563204567|page=75|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lJdQAQAAIAAJ&amp;q=%22own+wedding+lace%22|edition=1. publ.}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last=Ridley |first=Jane |title=Bertie: A Life of Edward VII|year=2012|publisher=Random House|isbn=9781448161119|page=17|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZgINPRluu2UC&amp;pg=PA17}}&lt;/ref&gt; She also wore it to the weddings of two of her children, her eldest daughter, [[Victoria, Princess Royal|Victoria]], in 1858,&lt;ref name=&quot;poaq&quot; /&gt; and her youngest son, [[Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany|Leopold]], in 1882.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|last=Lane|first=John|title=A Right Royal Feast : Menus from Royal Weddings and History's Greatest Banquets.|year=2011|publisher=David &amp; Charles|location=Newton Abbot|isbn=978-1446301616|page=21|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jclWRnYf2-0C&amp;pg=PA21}}{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&lt;/ref&gt; Her youngest daughter, [[Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom|Princess Beatrice]], was permitted to wear it as part of [[Wedding dress of Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom|her wedding gown]] in 1885.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|last=Reid|first=Michaela|author-link=Michaela Reid|title=Ask Sir James : Sir James Reid, personal physician to Queen Victoria and physician-in-ordinary to three monarchs|year=1990|publisher=Penguin Books|location=New York, N.Y., U.S.A.|isbn=0140130241|page=65|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W7rZAAAAMAAJ&amp;q=Honiton+lace}}&lt;/ref&gt; Victoria also wore the lace to the wedding of her grandson [[George V|George]] (the future George V) to [[Mary of Teck]] in 1893,&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|last=Bolitho|first=Hector|title=Victoria and Albert|year=1938|publisher=Cobden-Sanderson|page=337|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Db8KAQAAMAAJ&amp;q=%22my+wedding+lace%22}}&lt;/ref&gt; and for her [[Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria|Diamond Jubilee]] official photograph in 1897.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|last=King|first=Greg|title=Twilight of splendor : the court of Queen Victoria during her diamond jubilee year|year=2007|publisher=Wiley|location=Hoboken, NJ|isbn=9780470044391|page=15|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tNa57nc2S0wC&amp;pg=PA15}}&lt;/ref&gt; When Victoria died, she was buried with her wedding veil over her face.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|last=Hibbert|first=Christopher|title=Queen Victoria, a personal history|year=2000|publisher=Da Capo|location=Cambridge, MA|isbn=9780306810855|page=497|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uWlnAAAAMAAJ&amp;q=wedding+veil|edition=1st DaCapo Press}}&lt;/ref&gt; In 2012 it was reported that while the dress itself had been conserved and displayed at [[Kensington Palace]] that year, the lace was now too fragile to move from storage.&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot; /&gt;

==Influence==
Wearing white was quickly adopted by wealthy, fashionable brides.  Less than a decade later, ''[[Godey's Lady's Book]]'' would incorrectly claim that white wedding gowns were an ancient custom reflecting a bride's virginity, writing &quot;Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material. It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one&quot;, even though white had been a distinctly uncommon choice for bridal gowns before Victoria's wedding and was not chosen by a majority of brides until decades later.&lt;ref name=&quot;WP&quot; /&gt;

Following the 2011 [[wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton]], comparisons were drawn between the bride's [[Wedding dress of Kate Middleton|white wedding dress]] and Queen Victoria's.&lt;ref name=&quot;WP&quot; /&gt;

== Darach Ó Scolaí ==
Darach Ó Scolaí (&lt;small&gt;Irish:&lt;/small&gt; [/ˈda.rax/ /oː/ /sˠkˠoː/l̪ˠəi/]; born 1963&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://portraidi.ie/en/darach-o-scolai/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=20 October 2017|website=Portráidí (Portraits of Irish-Language Writers)|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;) is an Irish author who works in a number of genres, from novels, plays and screenplays to illustrated books for children and adults. He began his literary career in 1998 writing screenplays, stage plays, retellings and translations; he began to publish novels in 2008. Ó Scolaí is widely recognized as a leading figure in contemporary Irish literature, known as “one of the most important Irish language writers of his generation”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Poirtéir|first=Cathal|date=2022|title=? Suil an Daill: Constant Tensions and Shifting Allegiances|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/suil-an-daill-constant-tensions-and-shifting-allegiances/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; and &quot;one of the great Irish language novelists [duine d’úrscéalaithe móra na Gaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; His writing has been called “the high literature of the Irish language.”&lt;ref&gt;Ó Coimín, Maitiú. ''Nós'' 2 February 2018). Qtd. in &quot;Táin Bó Cuailnge.&quot; ''Leabhar Breac''. Retrieved 25 August 2025.&lt;/ref&gt;

Much of his fiction is based on a knowledge of traditional Irish tales and narrative practices as well as Irish history. He specializes in literary and [[wikipedia:Historical_fiction|historical fiction]], or as novelist Alan Titley says, Ó Scolaí’s “peak (for now), or at least his greatest imaginative interest, is the historical novel [tá an chuma air gurb é a bhuaic (go fóill), nó ar a laghad, a mhórspéis samhlaíochta, an t-úrscéal staire].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Titley|first=Alan|date=Fall 2020|title=An Stíl Go Deo!: Soather Dharach Uí Scolaí (The style would be forever!: Worker Darach Ó Scolaí)|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27046090|journal=Comhar|volume=80, No. 10|pages=27|via=JSTOR}}&lt;/ref&gt; His retellings of old stories and tales from their original Middle and Early-Modern Irish into Modern Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]) are respected for their accessibility to students and language learners as well as for their artistry.

Ó Scolaí also regularly reviews books and lectures and writes on literature and culture. 

Beyond his writing, Ó Scolaí is a publisher and has co-produced a number of film, television shows and stage plays. 

== Life ==
Ó Scolaí was born in Dublin and raised in the Galway [[wikipedia:Gaeltacht#Galway Gaeltacht|Gaeltacht]] (Irish-speaking) regions of Cois Fharraige on the north shore of Galway Bay, in the Republic of Ireland, where he lives now with his wife and children in Lochán Beag (Indreabhán).&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=30 October 2024|title=Duais don úrscéal liteartha is fearr buaite ag Darach Ó Scolaí ag Oireachtas na Samhna|url=https://tuairisc.ie/duais-don-ursceal-liteartha-is-fearr-buaite-ag-darach-o-scolai-ag-oireachtas-na-samhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Scolaí|first=Aifric|date=2024|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://www.taiscecf.ie/ealaiontoiri?category=Scr%C3%ADbhneoir|journal=Taisce Chois Fharraige}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

He graduated the [[wikipedia:University_of_Galway|University of Galway]] (then University College Galway) with a B.A. in 1983.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/darach-ó-scolaí-20026920/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|last=Ó Scolaí|first=Darach|date=August 2025|website=LinkedIn}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

=== Writing and Publishing ===
Ó Scolaí writes in Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]), his native language, and lives in an area defined for the predominant presence of Irish as the vernacular language, the language spoken at home. Irish was the language of his parents' home and is the language of children as well. He is fluent in Irish and English and conversant in French. 

None of his works has been translated into English. 

==== Leabhar Breac ====
In 1995 Darach Ó Scolaí and his brother Caomhán Ó Scolaí — a [[wikipedia:Typography|typographer]] and designer — founded the publishing house Leabhar Breac at Indreabhán (Inverin), County Galway. Their father “Séamas Ó Scolaí was an editor at An Gúm and worked on the Irish-English dictionary team [bhí a n-athair Séamas Ó Scolaí ina eagarthóir sa Ghúm agus d’oibrigh sé ar fhoireann an fhoclóra Gaeilge-Béarla].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/about-us/|title=About Us|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Darach Ó Scolaí has been publisher and literary editor at Leabhar Breac since its founding. 

Named for [[wikipedia:An_Leabhar_Breac|An Leabhar Breac (The Speckled Book)]], Leabhar Breac publishing house has more than 140 books in print.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Leabhar Breac aims to publish Irish-language books that meet “a high literary and artistic standard.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Besides the content, Leabhar Breac is known for the typically &quot;superb [thar cionn]&quot; quality of the design and production of the &quot;physical book [leabhar fisiciúil].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Mhuilneoir|first=Gráinne|date=30 July 2024|title=‘Bláthnaid’ – leabhar álainn i sraithín álainn faoi mhná|url=https://tuairisc.ie/blathnaid-leabhar-alainn-i-sraithin-alainn-faoi-mhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt; Its books regularly win awards for literary and artistic quality. Leabhar Breac also publishes translations for children and adults from various early versions of Irish as well as from French and English (and has published translations of books for young readers from Spanish, Catalan, and Italian as well).

Leabhar Breac prints its books in Ireland.

=== Stage and Screen ===

==== Rosg ====
In 1998 along with Ciarán Ó Cofaigh,&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.rosg.ie/en/about/History_6/|title=About Us: History|date=July 2025|website=Rosg|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Ó Scolaí co-founded the film and television production company [http://www.rosg.ie/en/ Rosg] and was co-director until 2006. Rosg produced Ó ScolaÍ’s films ''Cosa Nite'' (1999), ''An Leabhar'' (2001) and ''Na Cloigne'' (2010). He left Rosg in 2006 to devote his time to other artistic activities. 

==== Ealaín ar Oileán ====
In 2004, along with Val Balance, Ó Scolaí co-founded the annual artists' symposium Ealaín ar Oileán (trans., Art on an Island). The Irish-language symposium was held annually in the Áras Éanna arts and cultural center on Inis Oírr ([[wikipedia:Inisheer|Inisheer]], the smallest of the [[wikipedia:Aran_Islands|Aran Islands]]) from 2004 to 2013. Ó Scolaí was its co-director from its founding&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darach_Ó_Scolaí.|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=3 February 2024|website=Vicipéid|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; until 2013.

Besides being its co-director, Ó Scolaí has taken part in this conference as an artist&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=16 January 2005|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050116163252/http://bliainiris.com/authors/darach_oscolai.html|journal=Bliainiris}}&lt;/ref&gt; and writer&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://ealainaroilean.ie/ealainaroilean.html|title=The Conference|date=7 September 2013|website=Ealaín ar Oileán|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907083744/http://ealainaroilean.ie/ealainaroilean.html|archive-date=7 September 2013|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

==== Salamandar ====
In 2006 Ó Scolaí founded the stage production company Salamandar and directed his own play ''An Braon Aníos''. His plays ''An tSeanbhróg'' (2009) and ''Craos'' (2008) were also produced by Salamandar.&lt;ref name=&quot;:19&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/product-category/darach-o-scolai/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== For Young Readers ===
Ó Scolaí has written illustrated books for young readers (8–10 years old) in two series, the Fionn Series and the Scéalta Staire series, and translated a large number of classics and popular books for children of all ages. The number of these written and translated works suggests a commitment to children and their literacy in Irish. 

The Fionn Series “is a retelling ... of the great legends of the Fianna for the young Irish readers of today.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/shop/oige-en/8-9/doiteoir-na-samhna/|title=Dóiteoir na Samhna|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[wikipedia:The_Boyhood_Deeds_of_Fionn|Macgnímartha Finn (The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn)]] is a medieval story in the [[wikipedia:Fenian_Cycle|Fenian Cycle]].

== Critical Reception ==
Ó Scolaí’s style has been called “crisp and elegant, and rich in language while being highly readable,”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Heussaf|first=Anna|date=Summer 2025|title=Bláthnaid—A tale of love, violence and sorcery retold for readers today|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/blathnaid-a-tale-of-love-violence-and-sorcery/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; with “an unsurpassed richness and precision of language.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ó Cróinín|first=Breandán|date=Summer 2025|title=unknown|journal=The Limerick Leader}}&lt;/ref&gt; “Whimsical, hilarious, and subtly learned” is how Éilis Ní Dhuibhne described his writing.&lt;ref name=&quot;:20&quot; /&gt;   

=== Original Works ===
Ó Scolaí’s first novel, the 2007 ''An Cléireach'' (''The Clerk'') won two prizes and was described as “one of the great historical novels in the Irish language and among the best books written in the language since the beginning of this century.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot; /&gt; Novelist Alan Titley says, “In ''An Cléireach'' Ó Scolaí creates the Ireland of war in the 17th century more fully than any other Irish writer on the subject of war since ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Ó Thuairisc around 1798 [In ''An Cléireach'' cruthaíonn Ó Scolaí Éire an chogaidh san 17ú haois níos iomláine ná mar a dhein aon scríbhneoir Gaeilge eile ar ábhar cogaidh ó ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Uí Thuairisc timpeall ar 1798].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot; /&gt;{{rp|25, Col. 1a}} Not all the reviews of this first novel were so positive, however; Proinsias O' Drisceoil says for the Irish Times says,&lt;blockquote&gt;This then is a novel in search of a plot, a story that attempts to attain a significance that eludes it.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/a-disaffected-clerk-in-the-confederates-1.943070|title=A disaffected clerk in the confederates|last=O' Drisceoil|first=Proinsias|date=5 July 2008|work=The Irish Times|access-date=16 October 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In the ''Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction'' Pádraig Ó Siadhail analyzes rather than reviews ''An Cléireach'': &lt;blockquote&gt;In ''An Cléireach'', Ó Scolaí revisits the trauma of Cromwellian Ireland. The primary narrative device is once again the first-hand account, in this case by Tadhg Ó Dúbháin, a clerk and quartermaster in the Confederate Army in 1650. We sample the hardships, the friendships, the tensions, the rivalries, and the petty jealousies amongst comrades in arms, including remnants of the Gaelic literary class, as the Confederate soldiers, increasingly a rabble more than a cohesive unit, retreat in advance of Cromwell’s forces. ''An Cléireach'' concludes with the narrator and his family in exile in continental Europe. But along the retreat route, and central to the novel, members of the Confederate army camp, rest up, and tell versions of a story about the keeper of the treasured manuscript &quot;Saltair an Easpaig&quot; (The Bishop’s Psalter). Their versions raise issues about memory construction, the limitations of individual perspectives, personal agendas, and how minor changes in the telling of a story can alter our understanding of history, Thus, ''An Cléireach'' complements ''Fontenoy'' in moving beyond more realistic recreation of a historical event or period to interrogate the notion of history as construct.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction|last=Ó Siadhail|first=Pádraig|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2020|isbn=9780198754893|editor-last=Harte|editor-first=Liam|pages=598–99|chapter=Contemporary Irish Fiction}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' [''The Cattle Raid of Cooley''] is a modern edition of an 11th-century epic into modern Irish.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Gearóid Denvir reviewed ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'':&lt;blockquote&gt;Darach Ó Scolaí has ​​achieved a feat in this challenging reworking. He has found a high level of the Irish language to tell his story – as he has done before in his groundbreaking novel An Cléireach (2007, Leabhar Breac) and in his other prose works. This book is a decoration of the language, literature and culture of the Irish language, following the path of the old storytellers and writers and presenting material from the tradition to his own generation according to the understandings of his own time. The book will be a classic that will be of great interest to all readers of the Irish language, both ordinary readers, students, scholars and writers, and there should be a copy in every home in the country. [Tá éacht déanta ag Darach Ó Scolaí san athleagan dúshlánach seo.

==== ''Deirdre'' ====

Marie Whelton, in &quot;Léann Teanga&quot; (&quot;Language Studies&quot;), in the 2024 ''An Reiviú'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;this version [of ''Deirdre''] by Darach Ó Scolaí succeeds in skillfully capturing and portraying the complexity of gender and power issues in the ‘Deirdre’ tradition [éiríonn leis an leagan seo le Darach Ó Scolaí castacht cheisteanna na hinscne agus na cumhachta i dtraidisiún scéal Dheirdre a ghabháil agus a léiriú go sciliúil]. … There is no doubt that this new version greatly contributes to the legacy of the story and that it revives that legacy thoughtfully and artistically [Níl amhras faoi ach go gcuireann an leagan úr seo go mór le hoidhreacht an scéil agus go ndéanann sé an oidhreacht sin a athbheochan go tuisceanach agus go healaíonta.].&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.tara.tcd.ie/tara8/server/api/core/bitstreams/3c20175a-7631-44b2-8b0f-f454edd712b4/content|title=An Artistic Retelling of Deirdre's Tale and the Defeat of Conor Review of Deirdre or the Ship of Mac Uisnigh by Darach Ó Scolaí [Athinsint Ealaíonta ar Oidhe Dheirdre agus ar Ansmacht Chonchúir Léirmheas ar Deirdre nó Loingeas Mhac Uisnigh le Darach Ó Scolaí]|last=Whelton|first=Marie|date=2024|website=The Review [An Reiviú], Language Studies [Léann Teanga]|access-date=25 September 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Things Taken Out for Now ===
“’The play is a comedy about language, lies, bureaucracy and Gaeltacht grants, in the tradition of Myles na Gcopaleen,’ according to Norma-Jean Kenny in the ''Galway Advertizer'', ‘in which the author comments and criticizes the institutions of the Irish language in Ireland without ceasing.’&quot;

Supposedly a quotation by Gearóid Denvir reviewing ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'' (but I don't find it in the article):

This book has long been needed by Irish language readers and there is no doubt that it will become a classic in time and surpass Thomas Kinsella’s English version. This version remains faithful to the language of the original while at the same time finding an appropriate language in today’s Irish. Ó Scolaí masterfully overcomes the difficulties of the original’s rhetorical difficulties and the versions of the original poetic texts are extremely effective.[supposedly &lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;]

“The biggest prize ever awarded for a novel in Irish was presented at a special ceremony in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, today (Thursday, 4 October 2007). Darach Ó Scolaí, writer, artist &amp; playwright from Casla, Co. Galway, was awarded €10,000 for his literary novel, ‘An Ardscoil’. This work, under the new title ‘An Cléireach’, will be launched at Oireachtas na Samhna in Westport in November. This is the first novel from his pen, a story set in the late seventeenth century. This competition was sponsored by the Franciscan Province of Ireland.” (archive, Oireachtas na Gaeilge site, 04 October, 2007)

==Design==
The lace was designed by [[William Dyce]], head of the then Government School of Design (later known as the [[Royal College of Art]]), and mounted on a white satin dress made by [[Mary Bettans]].&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot;&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8466914/How-will-The-Dress-measure-up-to-history.html|title= How will The Dress measure up to history?|access-date=1 May 2011|work= The Daily Telegraph|location=London|first=Hilary|last=Alexander|date=22 April 2011}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The plain, cream-coloured satin gown was made from fabric woven in [[Spitalfields]], east London, and trimmed with a deep flounce and trimmings of lace hand-made in [[Honiton]] and [[Beer, Devon|Beer]], in [[Devon]].&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot; /&gt; This demonstrated support for English industry, particularly the [[cottage industry]] for lace.&lt;ref name=&quot;Khalje1997&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;wed&quot; /&gt; The handmade lace motifs were [[appliqué]]d onto cotton machine-made net.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lace crafts quarterly&quot;&gt;{{cite book|title=Lace crafts quarterly|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BblOAAAAYAAJ|access-date=1 May 2011|year=1987|publisher=Eunice Sein}}&lt;/ref&gt; Orange blossoms, a symbol of fertility, also trimmed the dress and made up a wreath, which Victoria wore instead of a tiara over her veil. The veil, which matched the flounce of the dress, was four yards in length and 0.75 yards wide. Victoria's jewellery consisted of a necklace and earrings made of diamonds presented to her by the Sultan of Turkey, and a sapphire cluster brooch given to her by Albert a day earlier. The slippers she wore matched the white of the dress. The train of the dress, carried by her bridesmaids, measured {{Convert|18|ft}} in length.

Queen Victoria described her choice of dress in her journal thus: &quot;I wore a white satin dress, with a deep flounce of Honiton lace, an imitation of an old design. My jewels were my Turkish diamond necklace &amp; earrings &amp; dear Albert's beautiful sapphire brooch.&quot;

A series of photographs taken by [[Roger Fenton]] on 11 May 1854 of Victoria and Albert are often described as wedding or reenactment photographs, with the dress identified as her wedding dress.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Avenell|first=Matthew|title=Representations of Queen Victoria in Official Painted &amp; Photographic Portraits|url=http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofEnglish/visual-culture/painting/Victoria-portraits.html|publisher=Victorian Visual Culture|access-date=11 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Royal weddings in history|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/royalty/8137332/Royal-weddings-in-history.html|access-date=11 June 2013|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph}}&lt;/ref&gt; The Royal Collection has refuted these interpretations, stating that the images are the first photographs to show Victoria as a queen, rather than as a wife or mother, and that she and Albert are wearing [[Court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom|court dress]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Buckingham Palace|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=22&amp;object=2906513&amp;row=21&amp;detail=about|publisher=The Royal Collection|access-date=12 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Victoria &amp; Albert: art &amp; love|year=2010|publisher=Royal Collection |location=London |isbn=9781905686216 |editor=Jonathan Marsden}}, cited on {{Royal Collection|2906513|Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace 11 May 1854|[[Roger Fenton]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1847, Victoria commissioned [[Franz Xaver Winterhalter]] to paint a portrait of her wearing her wedding clothes as an anniversary present for Prince Albert.&lt;ref name=&quot;haslem&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Queen Victoria in her wedding dress by John Haslem after Winterhalter, 1848|url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalweddings/object.asp?exhibs=WedQVPA&amp;item=21&amp;object=421993&amp;row=20&amp;detail=about|publisher=Royal Collections}}&lt;/ref&gt; The portrait was also copied as an enamel miniature by [[John Haslem (artist)|John Haslem]].&lt;ref name=&quot;haslem&quot; /&gt;

Victoria revisited the lace-makers to create the [[royal christening gown]] worn by her children, including Albert Edward (the future [[Edward VII]]).&lt;ref name=&quot;Heptinstall2008&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Simon Heptinstall|title=Devon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kgl-bkW9a8sC&amp;pg=PA98|access-date=1 May 2011|date=15 June 2008|publisher=Crimson Publishing|isbn=978-1-85458-426-7|page=98}}{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&lt;/ref&gt; This gown was worn for the christening of all subsequent royal babies until the baptism of [[James, Viscount Severn]] in 2008, when a replica was used for the first time.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Queen sees grandson's christening|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7354474.stm|work=19 April 2008|date=19 April 2008 |publisher=BBC News|access-date=5 June 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; As a mark of support for the Honiton industry, in addition to often wearing their lace on her and her children's clothes, Victoria insisted her daughters also order Honiton lace for their wedding dresses.&lt;ref name=&quot;staniland&quot; /&gt;

==Influence==
Wearing white was quickly adopted by wealthy, fashionable brides.  Less than a decade later, ''[[Godey's Lady's Book]]'' would incorrectly claim that white wedding gowns were an ancient custom reflecting a bride's virginity, writing &quot;Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material. It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one&quot;, even though white had been a distinctly uncommon choice for bridal gowns before Victoria's wedding and was not chosen by a majority of brides until decades later.&lt;ref name=&quot;WP&quot; /&gt;

Following the 2011 [[wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton]], comparisons were drawn between the bride's [[Wedding dress of Kate Middleton|white wedding dress]] and Queen Victoria's.&lt;ref name=&quot;WP&quot; /&gt;

== Darach Ó Scolaí ==
Darach Ó Scolaí (&lt;small&gt;Irish:&lt;/small&gt; [/ˈda.rax/ /oː/ /sˠkˠoː/l̪ˠəi/]; born 1963&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://portraidi.ie/en/darach-o-scolai/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=20 October 2017|website=Portráidí (Portraits of Irish-Language Writers)|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;) is an Irish author who works in a number of genres, from novels, plays and screenplays to illustrated books for children and adults. He began his literary career in 1998 writing screenplays, stage plays, retellings and translations; he began to publish novels in 2008. Ó Scolaí is widely recognized as a leading figure in contemporary Irish literature, known as “one of the most important Irish language writers of his generation”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Poirtéir|first=Cathal|date=2022|title=? Suil an Daill: Constant Tensions and Shifting Allegiances|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/suil-an-daill-constant-tensions-and-shifting-allegiances/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; and &quot;one of the great Irish language novelists [duine d’úrscéalaithe móra na Gaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; His writing has been called “the high literature of the Irish language.”&lt;ref&gt;Ó Coimín, Maitiú. ''Nós'' 2 February 2018). Qtd. in &quot;Táin Bó Cuailnge.&quot; ''Leabhar Breac''. Retrieved 25 August 2025.&lt;/ref&gt;

Much of his fiction is based on a knowledge of traditional Irish tales and narrative practices as well as Irish history. He specializes in literary and [[wikipedia:Historical_fiction|historical fiction]], or as novelist Alan Titley says, Ó Scolaí’s “peak (for now), or at least his greatest imaginative interest, is the historical novel [tá an chuma air gurb é a bhuaic (go fóill), nó ar a laghad, a mhórspéis samhlaíochta, an t-úrscéal staire].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Titley|first=Alan|date=Fall 2020|title=An Stíl Go Deo!: Soather Dharach Uí Scolaí (The style would be forever!: Worker Darach Ó Scolaí)|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27046090|journal=Comhar|volume=80, No. 10|pages=27|via=JSTOR}}&lt;/ref&gt; His retellings of old stories and tales from their original Middle and Early-Modern Irish into Modern Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]) are respected for their accessibility to students and language learners as well as for their artistry.

Ó Scolaí also regularly reviews books and lectures and writes on literature and culture. 

Beyond his writing, Ó Scolaí is a publisher and has co-produced a number of film, television shows and stage plays. 

== Life ==
Ó Scolaí was born in Dublin and raised in the Galway [[wikipedia:Gaeltacht#Galway Gaeltacht|Gaeltacht]] (Irish-speaking) regions of Cois Fharraige on the north shore of Galway Bay, in the Republic of Ireland, where he lives now with his wife and children in Lochán Beag (Indreabhán).&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=30 October 2024|title=Duais don úrscéal liteartha is fearr buaite ag Darach Ó Scolaí ag Oireachtas na Samhna|url=https://tuairisc.ie/duais-don-ursceal-liteartha-is-fearr-buaite-ag-darach-o-scolai-ag-oireachtas-na-samhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Scolaí|first=Aifric|date=2024|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://www.taiscecf.ie/ealaiontoiri?category=Scr%C3%ADbhneoir|journal=Taisce Chois Fharraige}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

He graduated the [[wikipedia:University_of_Galway|University of Galway]] (then University College Galway) with a B.A. in 1983.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/darach-ó-scolaí-20026920/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|last=Ó Scolaí|first=Darach|date=August 2025|website=LinkedIn}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

=== Writing and Publishing ===
Ó Scolaí writes in Irish ([[wikipedia:Irish_language|Gaeilge]]), his native language, and lives in an area defined for the predominant presence of Irish as the vernacular language, the language spoken at home. Irish was the language of his parents' home and is the language of children as well. He is fluent in Irish and English and conversant in French. 

None of his works has been translated into English. 

==== Leabhar Breac ====
In 1995 Darach Ó Scolaí and his brother Caomhán Ó Scolaí — a [[wikipedia:Typography|typographer]] and designer — founded the publishing house Leabhar Breac at Indreabhán (Inverin), County Galway. Their father “Séamas Ó Scolaí was an editor at An Gúm and worked on the Irish-English dictionary team [bhí a n-athair Séamas Ó Scolaí ina eagarthóir sa Ghúm agus d’oibrigh sé ar fhoireann an fhoclóra Gaeilge-Béarla].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/about-us/|title=About Us|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Darach Ó Scolaí has been publisher and literary editor at Leabhar Breac since its founding. 

Named for [[wikipedia:An_Leabhar_Breac|An Leabhar Breac (The Speckled Book)]], Leabhar Breac publishing house has more than 140 books in print.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Leabhar Breac aims to publish Irish-language books that meet “a high literary and artistic standard.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; Besides the content, Leabhar Breac is known for the typically &quot;superb [thar cionn]&quot; quality of the design and production of the &quot;physical book [leabhar fisiciúil].&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ní Mhuilneoir|first=Gráinne|date=30 July 2024|title=‘Bláthnaid’ – leabhar álainn i sraithín álainn faoi mhná|url=https://tuairisc.ie/blathnaid-leabhar-alainn-i-sraithin-alainn-faoi-mhna/|journal=Tuairisc}}&lt;/ref&gt; Its books regularly win awards for literary and artistic quality. Leabhar Breac also publishes translations for children and adults from various early versions of Irish as well as from French and English (and has published translations of books for young readers from Spanish, Catalan, and Italian as well).

Leabhar Breac prints its books in Ireland.

=== Stage and Screen ===

==== Rosg ====
In 1998 along with Ciarán Ó Cofaigh,&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.rosg.ie/en/about/History_6/|title=About Us: History|date=July 2025|website=Rosg|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Ó Scolaí co-founded the film and television production company [http://www.rosg.ie/en/ Rosg] and was co-director until 2006. Rosg produced Ó ScolaÍ’s films ''Cosa Nite'' (1999), ''An Leabhar'' (2001) and ''Na Cloigne'' (2010). He left Rosg in 2006 to devote his time to other artistic activities. 

==== Ealaín ar Oileán ====
In 2004, along with Val Balance, Ó Scolaí co-founded the annual artists' symposium Ealaín ar Oileán (trans., Art on an Island). The Irish-language symposium was held annually in the Áras Éanna arts and cultural center on Inis Oírr ([[wikipedia:Inisheer|Inisheer]], the smallest of the [[wikipedia:Aran_Islands|Aran Islands]]) from 2004 to 2013. Ó Scolaí was its co-director from its founding&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darach_Ó_Scolaí.|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=3 February 2024|website=Vicipéid|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; until 2013.

Besides being its co-director, Ó Scolaí has taken part in this conference as an artist&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=16 January 2005|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050116163252/http://bliainiris.com/authors/darach_oscolai.html|journal=Bliainiris}}&lt;/ref&gt; and writer&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://ealainaroilean.ie/ealainaroilean.html|title=The Conference|date=7 September 2013|website=Ealaín ar Oileán|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907083744/http://ealainaroilean.ie/ealainaroilean.html|archive-date=7 September 2013|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

==== Salamandar ====
In 2006 Ó Scolaí founded the stage production company Salamandar and directed his own play ''An Braon Aníos''. His plays ''An tSeanbhróg'' (2009) and ''Craos'' (2008) were also produced by Salamandar.&lt;ref name=&quot;:19&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/product-category/darach-o-scolai/|title=Darach Ó Scolaí|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 July 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== For Young Readers ===
Ó Scolaí has written illustrated books for young readers (8–10 years old) in two series, the Fionn Series and the Scéalta Staire series, and translated a large number of classics and popular books for children of all ages. The number of these written and translated works suggests a commitment to children and their literacy in Irish. 

The Fionn Series “is a retelling ... of the great legends of the Fianna for the young Irish readers of today.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/en/shop/oige-en/8-9/doiteoir-na-samhna/|title=Dóiteoir na Samhna|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[wikipedia:The_Boyhood_Deeds_of_Fionn|Macgnímartha Finn (The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn)]] is a medieval story in the [[wikipedia:Fenian_Cycle|Fenian Cycle]].

== Critical Reception ==
Ó Scolaí’s style has been called “crisp and elegant, and rich in language while being highly readable,”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Heussaf|first=Anna|date=Summer 2025|title=Bláthnaid—A tale of love, violence and sorcery retold for readers today|url=https://booksirelandmagazine.com/blathnaid-a-tale-of-love-violence-and-sorcery/|journal=Books Ireland}}&lt;/ref&gt; with “an unsurpassed richness and precision of language.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ó Cróinín|first=Breandán|date=Summer 2025|title=unknown|journal=The Limerick Leader}}&lt;/ref&gt; “Whimsical, hilarious, and subtly learned” is how Éilis Ní Dhuibhne described his writing.&lt;ref name=&quot;:20&quot; /&gt;   

=== Original Works ===
Ó Scolaí’s first novel, the 2007 ''An Cléireach'' (''The Clerk'') won two prizes and was described as “one of the great historical novels in the Irish language and among the best books written in the language since the beginning of this century.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot; /&gt; Novelist Alan Titley says, “In ''An Cléireach'' Ó Scolaí creates the Ireland of war in the 17th century more fully than any other Irish writer on the subject of war since ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Ó Thuairisc around 1798 [In ''An Cléireach'' cruthaíonn Ó Scolaí Éire an chogaidh san 17ú haois níos iomláine ná mar a dhein aon scríbhneoir Gaeilge eile ar ábhar cogaidh ó ''L’Attaque'' Eoghain Uí Thuairisc timpeall ar 1798].”&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot; /&gt;{{rp|25, Col. 1a}} Not all the reviews of this first novel were so positive, however; Proinsias O' Drisceoil says for the Irish Times says,&lt;blockquote&gt;This then is a novel in search of a plot, a story that attempts to attain a significance that eludes it.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/a-disaffected-clerk-in-the-confederates-1.943070|title=A disaffected clerk in the confederates|last=O' Drisceoil|first=Proinsias|date=5 July 2008|work=The Irish Times|access-date=16 October 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In the ''Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction'' Pádraig Ó Siadhail analyzes rather than reviews ''An Cléireach'': &lt;blockquote&gt;In ''An Cléireach'', Ó Scolaí revisits the trauma of Cromwellian Ireland. The primary narrative device is once again the first-hand account, in this case by Tadhg Ó Dúbháin, a clerk and quartermaster in the Confederate Army in 1650. We sample the hardships, the friendships, the tensions, the rivalries, and the petty jealousies amongst comrades in arms, including remnants of the Gaelic literary class, as the Confederate soldiers, increasingly a rabble more than a cohesive unit, retreat in advance of Cromwell’s forces. ''An Cléireach'' concludes with the narrator and his family in exile in continental Europe. But along the retreat route, and central to the novel, members of the Confederate army camp, rest up, and tell versions of a story about the keeper of the treasured manuscript &quot;Saltair an Easpaig&quot; (The Bishop’s Psalter). Their versions raise issues about memory construction, the limitations of individual perspectives, personal agendas, and how minor changes in the telling of a story can alter our understanding of history, Thus, ''An Cléireach'' complements ''Fontenoy'' in moving beyond more realistic recreation of a historical event or period to interrogate the notion of history as construct.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction|last=Ó Siadhail|first=Pádraig|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2020|isbn=9780198754893|editor-last=Harte|editor-first=Liam|pages=598–99|chapter=Contemporary Irish Fiction}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of ''Súil an Daill,'' in ''Nós'', Cathal Seoighe says, &quot;The book deserves a significant place among the collection of high-quality books published in recent years that would make you feel sorry for someone who does not speak Irish [Tá áit shuntasach ag dul don leabhar i measc an chnuasaigh leabhair ar ardchaighdeán a foilsíodh le roinnt blianta anuas a d’fhágfadh trua agat don té atá gan Ghaeilge].&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Seoighe|first=Cathal|date=09/26/2022|title=‘Dar leathmhagairle an diabhail, is leabhar den scoth é seo!’ ['According to the devil’s half-wit, this is a great book!’]|url=https://nos.ie/cultur/leabhair/dar-leathmhagairle-an-diabhail-is-leabhar-den-scoth-e-seo/|journal=Nós}}&lt;/ref&gt;

''Bódléar'', Ó Scolaí's most recent book, is a “beautiful novel. There is magic and craftsmanship in it. A small miracle of a book and it is highly recommended.”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://leabharbreac.com/bodlear-mioruilt-bheag-de-leabhar/|title=Bódléar: Míorúilt bheag de leabhar (Bódléar: A Small Miracle of a Book)|last=Ní Ghairbhí|first=Róisín|date=2024|website=Leabhar Breac|access-date=1 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt; Éilis Ní Dhuibhne in the ''Irish Times'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;what a gem!

''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' [''The Cattle Raid of Cooley''] is a modern edition of an 11th-century epic into modern Irish.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Gearóid Denvir reviewed ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'':&lt;blockquote&gt;Darach Ó Scolaí has ​​achieved a feat in this challenging reworking. He has found a high level of the Irish language to tell his story – as he has done before in his groundbreaking novel An Cléireach (2007, Leabhar Breac) and in his other prose works. This book is a decoration of the language, literature and culture of the Irish language, following the path of the old storytellers and writers and presenting material from the tradition to his own generation according to the understandings of his own time. The book will be a classic that will be of great interest to all readers of the Irish language, both ordinary readers, students, scholars and writers, and there should be a copy in every home in the country. [Tá éacht déanta ag Darach Ó Scolaí san athleagan dúshlánach seo.

=== Things Taken Out for Now ===
“’The play is a comedy about language, lies, bureaucracy and Gaeltacht grants, in the tradition of Myles na Gcopaleen,’ according to Norma-Jean Kenny in the ''Galway Advertizer'', ‘in which the author comments and criticizes the institutions of the Irish language in Ireland without ceasing.’&quot;

Supposedly a quotation by Gearóid Denvir reviewing ''Táin Bó Cuailnge'' for ''Comhar'' (but I don't find it in the article):

This book has long been needed by Irish language readers and there is no doubt that it will become a classic in time and surpass Thomas Kinsella’s English version. This version remains faithful to the language of the original while at the same time finding an appropriate language in today’s Irish. Ó Scolaí masterfully overcomes the difficulties of the original’s rhetorical difficulties and the versions of the original poetic texts are extremely effective.[supposedly &lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;]

“The biggest prize ever awarded for a novel in Irish was presented at a special ceremony in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, today (Thursday, 4 October 2007). Darach Ó Scolaí, writer, artist &amp; playwright from Casla, Co. Galway, was awarded €10,000 for his literary novel, ‘An Ardscoil’. This work, under the new title ‘An Cléireach’, will be launched at Oireachtas na Samhna in Westport in November. This is the first novel from his pen, a story set in the late seventeenth century. This competition was sponsored by the Franciscan Province of Ireland.” (archive, Oireachtas na Gaeilge site, 04 October, 2007)

==Overview==
This tutorial:
# explains how [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials|tutorials]] will work and what will be covered
# shows how to select a topic for the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Major project|major project]]
# involves students in sharing about their selected topic or interests
# demonstrates how to add a template to help scaffold the topic development

==Welcome==
# Welcome and tutor introduction
# Tutorial content will typically involve:
## Discussion of key concepts from the textbook and lecture
## Group activities that expand and explore key concepts
## Project work which develops skills for the topic development, book chapter, and exam
# Overview of [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials|tutorial topics]]

;Virtual room tour:
# Chat
# Microphone (headset recommended) / webcam
# Raise hand
# Status and feedback
# Whiteboard tools
# Breakout rooms
# Polls

==Icebreaker==
These get-to-know-you activities provide an opportunity to meet and greet and start to explore some examples of motivations and emotions.

;Virtual
# Speedfriending: 3 minutes to meet, greet, and share about what you're looking forward to (or not) in [[motivation and emotion]]

;In-person
# [[w:sociometry|sociometric]] exercise or whiteboard discussion:
## What job/career do you hope to be doing in 5 to 10 years' time? (examples of motivations)
## How have you been feeling so far today? (Mood/Emotion) (examples of emotions)
&lt;!-- Ask participants to arrange themselves in a line or groups which represent our similarities and differences in motivation and emotion. For each question:
* Ask participants to introduce themselves to the people next to them / in their group.
* Link the sociometric data and responses to concepts in motivation and emotion.

==Topic check-in and whiparound==

===Check-in===
Poll - What stage are you up to?
# Huh? What do I do?
# I created a Wikiversity user account
# I signed up to a book topic
# I have a topic and started editing
# I'm all over it!

===Whiparound===
#[https://goalbookapp.com/toolkit/v/strategy/whiparound Whiparound] discussion based on each person's book chapter interests and progress. Ask each student to share:
## their name
## topic they've chosen (or what areas they are interested in)
# According to each person's stage of development:
## Very briefly discuss or expand on each topic, suggest related resources or ideas etc.
## If students are unsure about their interests, probe about what they are curious about - or at least find out, are they more interested in motivation or emotion etc.?
# Key points:
## Topics are typically allocated to either motivation or emotion (with a few listed under motivation and emotion). Be aware of which broad category the selected topic fits into.
## Some topics are broader (requiring a zoomed out overview without getting too deep in the weeds) and others are narrower (requiring more comprehensive, indepth coverage).
## Broader topics can be overwhelming if there is a lot of material; an option in this case is to [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Selection#Negotiate a topic|negotiate]] a narrowing of the topic title and/or sub-title.
## Narrower topics for which there is a lack of sufficient literature may benefit from negotiating a broadening of the topic title and/or sub-title.

==Project tasks==

===Create a Wikiversity account===
# [[Create an account|Create an account]]:
## Register a user name and password. Include an email for password recovery.
## Edits to Wikiversity are publicly available, so choose a name that suits your privacy requirements (e.g., can be a real name, pseudonym, or student number).
## Start at http://en.wikiversity.org (English Wikiversity) - Create account (top-right)
## Or go direct to: [[Special:Userlogin/signup|create a Wikiversity user account]]
# Log in (top-right)

===Topic selection===
# Topic selection is [[wikt:first in, best dressed|first in, best dressed]]
# Sign up to a pre-approved topic in the {{Motivation and emotion/Book}} by:
## Clicking &quot;Edit&quot; or &quot;Edit source&quot;
## Replace &quot;User name&quot; alongside your topic of choice with your Wikiversity user name
## Publish the page
## Alternatively, [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Selection#New topics|negotiate a topic]]

===Quick start template===
# It is recommended (but not required) that you add the [[Template:Motivation and emotion/Book chapter structure|quick start template]] to the topic page.
# To do this, click &quot;Create source&quot; or &quot;Edit source&quot; on the target page, paste '''[[Template:Motivation and emotion/Book chapter structure|&lt;nowiki&gt;{{subst:ME/BCS}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;]]''', then Publish.
## If you get a spam filter warning it is probably because you have a new account. You can ask the tutor to add the template for you. Or publish some smaller edits first (e.g., on your user page). This helps the system learn to trust you, then try inserting the template again.

==Next steps==
# Sign up for (or [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Selection#New topics|negotiate]]) a book chapter topic by the end of Week 2.
# Draft the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] which is a detailed plan for a full chapter, consisting of main headings with bullet-points about key points, on Wikiversity by the end of Week 3.

      <text bytes="17837" sha1="ri9qxpwswvzj1q7rt2na4lkx0nd7l5q" xml:space="preserve">A number of seemingly credible sources are describing an increase in political polarization worldwide. [[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]] describes how [[w:Rodrigo Duterte|Rodrigo Duterte]], former President of the [[w:Philippines|Philippines]] &quot;started ... with five hundred volunteers&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 147-8).&lt;/ref&gt; (1) creating “sock puppets,” or fake accounts that attack or praise; (2) “mass reporting,” or organizing to negatively impact a targeted account; and (3) “astroturfing,” or fake posts or lies designed to look like grassroots support or interest.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; These actions tricked the algorithms of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter into amplifying fraudulent messages including incitements to violence and criminal prosecutions based on trumped up charges. The results easily overwhelmed honest media. [[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]], a Senator and former Secretary of Justice of the Philippines, spent years  in pretrial detention before the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, p. 158ff) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa's news organization, [[w:Rappler|Rappler]].com, was ordered to close. Ressa herself was convicted on questionable charges. Both continued operating while the legal procedures against them were appealed.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa says similar procedures are making major contributions to the rise of fascism and far-right nationalist populists in the US, Europe, Turkey, India, Russia, and elsewhere.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; [[w:H. R. McMaster|H. R. McMaster]], former President Trump's second National Security advisor, said that &quot;The internet and social media thus provided [Russia] with a low-cost, easy way to divide and weaken America from within.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;McMaster (2020, pp. 47-48).&lt;/ref&gt; The [[w:2021 Facebook leak|2021 Facebook leak]] documented how executives of [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] and [[w:Meta Platforms|Meta]] knowingly prioritized profits over action to limit incitements to violence, even facilitating the [[w:Rohingya genocide|Rohingya genocide]] in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], because doing otherwise would have reduced their profits. 

This &quot;Category:Media reform to improve democracy&quot; include videos of experts and activists working this issue along with 29:00 mm:ss audio files submitted to a ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series syndicated on the [[w:List of Pacifica Radio stations and affiliates|Pacifica radio network]]&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Media &amp; Democracy on Audioport--&gt;{{cite Q|Q127839818}}&lt;/ref&gt; plus text and space for moderated discussions. 

Some of this work is cited in the book on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which is being written -- [[w:Crowdsourcing|crowdsourced]] -- to help humans better understand how they can counter the trend toward increasing political polarization and violence by talking politics, calmly, with respect and humility, with others with whom they may vehemently disagree, because the alternative is killing humans over misunderstanding. The goal is ''not'' to convince anyone that they are wrong. Rather it is to build relationships where humans can agree to disagree agreeably and collaborate to improve issues of common concern.

      <text bytes="18469" sha1="6xsmwbv3tesf2qzzx5d56vjt04p4yt0" xml:space="preserve">A number of seemingly credible sources are describing an increase in political polarization worldwide. [[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]] describes how [[w:Rodrigo Duterte|Rodrigo Duterte]], former President of the [[w:Philippines|Philippines]] &quot;started ... with five hundred volunteers&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 147-8).&lt;/ref&gt; (1) creating “sock puppets,” or fake accounts that attack or praise; (2) “mass reporting,” or organizing to negatively impact a targeted account; and (3) “astroturfing,” or fake posts or lies designed to look like grassroots support or interest.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; These actions tricked the algorithms of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter into amplifying fraudulent messages including incitements to violence and criminal prosecutions based on trumped up charges. The results easily overwhelmed honest media. [[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]], a Senator and former Secretary of Justice of the Philippines, spent years  in pretrial detention before the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, p. 158ff) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa's news organization, [[w:Rappler|Rappler]].com, was ordered to close. Ressa herself was convicted on questionable charges. Both continued operating while the legal procedures against them were appealed.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa says similar procedures are making major contributions to the rise of fascism and far-right nationalist populists in the US, Europe, Turkey, India, Russia, and elsewhere.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; [[w:H. R. McMaster|H. R. McMaster]], former President Trump's second National Security advisor, said that &quot;The internet and social media thus provided [Russia] with a low-cost, easy way to divide and weaken America from within.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;McMaster (2020, pp. 47-48).&lt;/ref&gt; The [[w:2021 Facebook leak|2021 Facebook leak]] documented how executives of [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] and [[w:Meta Platforms|Meta]] knowingly prioritized profits over action to limit incitements to violence, even facilitating the [[w:Rohingya genocide|Rohingya genocide]] in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], because doing otherwise would have reduced their profits. 

This &quot;Category:Media reform to improve democracy&quot; include videos of experts and activists working this issue along with 29:00 mm:ss audio files submitted to a ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series syndicated on the [[w:List of Pacifica Radio stations and affiliates|Pacifica radio network]]&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Media &amp; Democracy on Audioport--&gt;{{cite Q|Q127839818}}&lt;/ref&gt; plus text and space for moderated discussions. 

Some of this work is cited in the book on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which is being written -- [[w:Crowdsourcing|crowdsourced]] -- to help humans better understand how they can counter the trend toward increasing political polarization and violence by talking politics, calmly, with respect and humility, with others with whom they may vehemently disagree, because the alternative is killing humans over misunderstanding. The goal is ''not'' to convince anyone that they are wrong. Rather it is to build relationships where humans can agree to disagree agreeably and collaborate to improve issues of common concern.

'''Yuma''' (Ngunnawal for hello).

[https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=291045832212329 Dhawura nguna, dharuwa Ngnunnawal].

I acknowledge the '''[[w:Ngunnawal|Ngunnawal]] people''' as Traditional Custodians of the land on which the [[w:Canberra|Canberra]] Bruce campus stands. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and to their enduring culture and contribution to [[w:Canberra|Canberra]] and the region.

I also acknowledge '''other Indigenous peoples''' who maintain a cultural connection with this land.

First Nations peoples hold deep '''relationships with Country'''—including with plants, animals, and natural systems—knowledges we need as we face the challenges of living sustainably in an era of human-induced climate change.

A warm welcome to all '''Indigenous students'''—we are committed to fostering a culturally safe and supportive learning environment for you.

Welcome also to '''international students''', especially those recently arrived on exchange. I encourage everyone to connect with and support our foreign friends as they navigate a new country and culture.

To students who have travelled from '''interstate''' or changed universities—welcome to Canberra and to the UC community.

And to '''everyone else''', in all your diversity: whoever you are, you are welcome and belong here.

Let's '''engage with openness''', share ideas, and support one another as we explore the psychological science of motivation and emotion.

Third year undergraduate psychology students develop the chapters as a learning and assessment exercise for the [[Motivation and emotion|motivation and emotion]] unit at the [[University of Canberra]], Australia.

{{RoundBoxTop}}
[[File:The Bookstore (256683677).jpeg|right|thumb|''Figure 1''. Let's write something we would like to read.]]
Imagine you are at the airport, heading on a plane trip.

You have already checked in and are now waiting near the departure lounge.
There’s a bit of time before boarding.

You get that cool, groovy kind of feeling when you’re leaving the familiar behind and at the beginning of a journey. Curious, you find yourself wandering into a nearby bookshop (see Figure 1).

As you browse the shelves, you feel drawn towards the Psychology/Self-help section.

Several of the titles arouse your interest. As you read the covers and flick through the pages you want to take several of them with you on your travels, to learn more about yourself and others.

This is the kind of book we are trying to write—interesting, readable, practical, and informed by psychological science.

[https://unitfreak.github.io/Bully-Row-Timestamps/Java_Bully.html Current Bully Timestamp (GitHub)]&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/small&gt;

The '''Bully Metric Timestamp''' system is an alternative timekeeping framework that utilizes the orbit of the Sun around the Milky Way Galaxy to mark the passage of time. A new successive Bully timestamp is realized each time the Sun advances by approximately one solar radius along its path through the Galaxy. Using '''12-digit''' [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] timestamps, the Bully system has enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ sec} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}&lt;/math&gt;
=== One Solar Radius ===
[[File:Bully_Metric_Galactic_Orbit_1_Timestamp.png|thumb|right|450px|alt=Diagram showing the Sun advancing a distance equal to its own radius along its galactic trajectory over a period of 3055 seconds.|'''Figure 1:''' Motion of the Sun between two successive Bully timestamps.]]
The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a very fast speed, roughly 227.7 kilometers per second (km/s), which equals approximately 0.076% of the speed of light. Even though the Sun is moving very quickly, it is also physically immense. The radius of the Sun (&lt;math&gt;R_\odot&lt;/math&gt;) is 695,700 kilometers. Dividing the solar radius by the galactic orbital velocity, we find that it takes approximately '''3055 seconds''' for the Sun to travel a distance equal to its own radius:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;\Delta t = \frac{695,700 \text{ km}}{227.7 \text{ km/s}} \approx 3055 \text{ seconds}&lt;/math&gt;
&amp;thinsp;
'''Figure 1''' illustrates the physical movement of the Sun between two successive Bully timestamps. Timestamp '''8209 2800 0000''' is defined to have occurred at exactly '''12:00:00 TAI (International Atomic Time) on June 21, 1998'''. The sequential timestamp, '''8209 2800 0001''', occurred exactly 3,055 seconds later at '''12:50:55 TAI on June 21, 1998'''. As shown in Figure 1, the Sun orbited a distance of roughly one solar radius during this 3,055-second period.

=== The Heliosphere ===
The heliosphere, it turns out, is not actually a sphere. As shown in '''Figure 2''', the heliosphere is a vast, oblong, tailed, bubble-like region that extends from the Sun into the surrounding space. The heliosphere is somewhat analogous to Earth's atmosphere, except that Earth's atmosphere is a comparatively thin layer of gas that remains near the Earth's surface. By comparison, the heliosphere is a plasma that is constantly blasted out into space due to the extreme heat and energy of the Sun.

[[File:Bully_Metric_Galactic_Orbit_65536_Timestamps.png|thumb|right|450px|alt=Diagram showing the Sun traveling through the oblong shape of the heliosphere over a span of 16 to the 4th power timestamps.|'''Figure 2:''' Motion of the Sun during the passage of 16&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps.]]

The heliosphere is very large. It is so vast that if it were truly spherical, its diameter would be on an order of magnitude similar to '''16&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; (65,536) solar radii'''. The digit in the '''fifth position''' in a Bully timestamp represents the time required for the Sun to orbit for '''6.344 years''', which covers a distance of approximately '''65,536 solar radii''', or roughly the diameter of one spherical heliosphere.

Figure 2 illustrates the orbit of the Sun (Sun not drawn to scale) over a period of 6.344 years. As explained previously, timestamp '''8209 2800 0000''' is defined to have occurred at exactly '''12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998'''. Timestamp '''8209 2801 0000''' therefore occurred roughly 6.344 years later at '''18:34:40 TAI on October 24, 2004'''.

Incidentally, the Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed into the heliosheath, as shown in Figure 2, on December 16th 2004. Both Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) have since crossed entirely out of the heliosphere and entered the surrounding interstellar space.

=== Naked Eye Stars ===
As described above, the '''first''' and '''fifth''' digits in a Bully timestamp respectively represent 3,055 seconds and roughly 6.344 years of orbit around the Milky Way galaxy at a velocity of approximately '''one Solar Radius (''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt;)''' per Bully timestamp. Before moving on to describe the physical significance of the '''ninth''' digit in terms of &quot;naked-eye stars,&quot; it is worth noting that the length 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; is remarkably close to 10&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; light-seconds. In fact, these distances are so similar (differing by less than 0.35%) that one can estimate the ratio of the sun's orbital speed to the speed of light by dividing:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;\frac{10^{10}}{16^8 \times 3055} \approx 0.076\%&lt;/math&gt;
&amp;thinsp;
Furthermore, these values (16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; and 10&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; light-seconds) are of the same order of magnitude as 100 parsecs, where a parsec (roughly 3.26 light-years) is a common length unit used in astronomy. To be precise, '''16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; is approximately 96.83 parsecs'''.

'''Figure 3''' illustrates the physical movement of the Sun (Sun not drawn to scale) between 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; successive Bully timestamps. It is estimated that timestamp '''8209 0000 0000''' would have occurred roughly 63,000 B.C., and timestamp '''820A 0000 0000''' is estimated to occur around 353,000 A.D., for a total time lapse of '''416,000 years'''. The stacked histogram in Figure 3 has a red dashed line marking 96.83 parsecs (the distance the sun will travel in 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps). As indicated in the histogram, a large percentage of naked-eye stars are nearer to the sun than 96.83 parsecs, meaning that the appearance of the night sky will completely change over this timeframe.

A large percentage of these stars are closer to the sun than 16^8 R_☉, which is the distance that the sun travels in 16^8 Bully timestamps.|'''Figure 3:''' Motion of the Sun during the passage of 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps. The included stacked histogram shows that a large percentage of &quot;Naked Eye&quot; stars are within this travel distance of the sun, 96.83 parsecs or 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt;.]]

==== The Meaning of Naked-Eye Stars ====
The term naked-eye stars refers to any celestial object that can be seen in the night sky using only human vision, completely unaided by binoculars or telescopes. However, what qualifies as a &quot;naked-eye star&quot; is highly subjective, depending heavily on environmental light pollution and a person's biological visual acuity.

In remote regions like deserts or high mountains, the sky is perfectly dark. A person may see between 2,500 and 3,500 stars at a given time. The Milky Way can actually cast shadows on the ground in these conditions. In major metropolitan areas like New York or Tokyo, extreme light pollution blanks out the sky. Only the Moon, planets, and perhaps a dozen or two of the absolute brightest stars remain visible to the naked eye.

To see faint stars, human eyes must adapt to the dark, widening the pupils to draw in light. A young person's pupil may expand to 7 mm, whereas an older adult's pupil might only expand to 5 mm, naturally making faint stars invisible to the older observer. Also, minor uncorrected astigmatisms, nearsightedness, or mild cataracts smudge pinpoint starlight, causing faint stars to blend directly into the background glow of the night sky.

==== The Hipparchus Magnitude System ====
In 129 B.C., the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus created the world's first stellar catalog. He ranked the stars purely by how they appeared to his naked eye. In 1856, astronomer Norman Pogson formalized this ancient system mathematically. He discovered that the human eye perceives brightness logarithmically, and that Hipparchus’s 1st-magnitude stars were exactly 100 times brighter than his 6th-magnitude stars.

*'''1st Magnitude:''' The very brightest, &quot;first-rate&quot; stars to light up at twilight.
*'''2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Magnitude:''' Progressively dimmer stars.
*'''6th Magnitude:''' The absolute faintest, &quot;sixth-rate&quot; stars Hipparchus could barely see under pristine, ancient night skies.

The stars in Figure 3 are ranked using the modern version of Hipparchus's magnitude system. A total of 9,427 stars are included in the stacked histogram, but more than two-thirds of these are 6th-magnitude stars that are only visible in ideal circumstances. It is notable that stars of first through third magnitude tend to be nearer than 100 parsecs, whereas stars of fifth and sixth magnitude tend to be beyond the 100 parsecs mark. Over a time duration of 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps, the Sun will travel a distance that is beyond the majority of the brightest stars, but not as far as the dimmest naked-eye stars.

==== The Pleiades Star Cluster ====
'''Figure 4a''' provides an SVG illustration of magnitude as used in astronomy. The Pleiades Star Cluster is a good example to illustrate star magnitude. The cluster lies at an average distance of about 136.2 parsecs (approximately 444 light-years) from Earth, with the entire physical cluster spanning only about 4 to 5 parsecs in depth and width.

There are over 1,000 stars in the cluster, but shared gravity keeps them traveling through space together as a single family. Because the total internal gravity is relatively weak, it takes millions of years for a star to complete an orbital loop around the cluster's center, and the stars will eventually drift apart.

The Pleiades system, shown in '''Figure 4b''', has a combined apparent magnitude of 1.6. The nine brightest stars shown in '''Figure 4c''' have representatives ranging from third-magnitude stars to sixth-magnitude stars. A star map of the system from the Hubble Space Telescope is shown in '''Figure 4d'''.

== The Galactic Calendar ==
[[File:Sun_in_orbit_around_Galactic_Centre.gif|thumb|right|300px|alt=Diagram showing multiple stars moving along their respective orbital paths around the galactic center over a span of 250 million years.|'''Figure 5a:''' Stars orbiting around the Galactic center during a 250 million-year time period.]]

A '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This duration is not a fixed constant, but rather depends on the path a particular star follows as it orbits (see Figure 5a). Stars closer to the center orbit much more quickly than those on the outer edges. The stars shown in '''Figure 5a''' all eventually localize near the Sun despite having vastly different orbital trajectories, visually illustrating the long-term subtlety of galactic orbits.

Earlier in this resource, the Sun was assumed to travel roughly one solar radius per 3,055-second orbital timestamp. However, since the Sun’s deep-time trajectory is chaotic and unpredictable, its true orbital velocity is a topic of ongoing discovery and refinement. The previous conjectured value was just '''a useful assumption''' and not a reflection of long-term stable physical reality.

=== Bully Galactic Years ===
If the Sun followed a perfectly circular orbit around the Milky Way, with a radius of [https://www.mpe.mpg.de/6588951/The-black-hole 8,275 parsecs] (or 26,990 light-years), the total circumference of that ideal orbit would be determined by multiplying the radius by 2π:

:&lt;math&gt;\begin{align}
{\text{Circumference}} &amp;= 2\pi \times 8,275{\text{ parsecs}} \\
&amp;\approx 51,993{\text{ parsecs}}
\end{align}&lt;/math&gt;

If we divide this '''roughly 52,000-parsec''' ideal orbit into &quot;Galactic Weeks,&quot; where each week represents 1,000 parsecs of orbital travel, then a full Galactic Year would consist of 52 weeks. This beautifully mirrors the structure of an Earth year, which is also composed of roughly 52 weeks.

==== The Idealized Galactic Orbit ====
Within the context of the Bully timekeeping system, an idealized '''Bully Galactic Year''' will be defined to have a time duration of exactly '''2 × 16&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps''' (approximately 213 million years). This fixed value is not identical to a true, observed galactic year, and should be interpreted as an idealization. The table in '''Figure 5b''' illustrates how scaling the assumed baseline from 1 ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; per orbital timestamp up to 1.0488227 ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; per orbital timestamp aligns the highest digits directly with major cosmic eras.

=== Bully Galactic Weeks ===
The table in '''Figure 5c''' illustrates the division of a Galactic Year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. The table shows the Bully timestamp at which each one thousand parsecs of travel distance would be achieved in an idealized circular orbit.

Timestamps in the range '''8200 0000 0000''' through '''83FF FFFF FFFF''' indicate that the system is recording time within the '''66th Bully Galactic Year''' of the Universe. However, the Sun (and our solar system) did not come into existence until the 45th Bully Galactic Year, meaning our solar system is only '''21 Bully Galactic Years old'''.

=== The galactic ecliptic node near Sagittarius ===
A '''galactic ecliptic node''' is an intersection point on the celestial sphere where the plane of Earth's orbit (the ecliptic) crosses the plane of the Milky Way (the galactic equator). One of these intersection points is currently located near the Sagittarius constellation.

'''Sagittarius A*''' (abbreviated as Sgr A* and pronounced &quot;Sagittarius A-star&quot;) is the supermassive black hole located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. As the Sun orbits the Galactic center, the galactic ecliptic node—moving in concert with the Sun—shifts away from Sagittarius A* at a rate of 2.70 mas (milliarcseconds) per year in right ascension and 5.60 mas per year in declination. From the perspective of the Sun, the node appears to be stationary and the supermassive black hole appears to be moving in the opposite direction. In reality, it is the Sun and the node that are moving.

[[File:Ophiuchus_Galactic_Equatorial_Node.png|thumb|center|600px|alt=An educational image illustrating the 6.44-degree separation between Sagittarius A* and the adjacent Galactic Ecliptic Node. The Node, moving in concert with the Sun, shifts away from Sagittarius A* at a rate of 2.70 mas per year in right ascension and 5.60 mas per year in declination. |'''Figure 5d:''' An image illustrating the 6.44-degree separation between Sagittarius A* and the galactic ecliptic node.]]

Within the context of the Bully timekeeping system, the path of the galactic ecliptic node as it shifts away from Sagittarius A* can be used as a surrogate to track the motion of the Sun as it orbits the Galactic Center. The Sagittarius node, shown in '''Figure 5d''', is currently located 6.44° away from Sagittarius A* on the celestial sphere. The Sun's orbital travel distance can be calculated by multiplying the orbital radius (8,275 parsecs) by 6.44° and the ratio of (2π / 360°).

&lt;math&gt;d = 8,275 \text{ pc} \times 6.44^\circ \times \left(\frac{2\pi}{360^\circ}\right) \approx 930.10 \text{ pc}&lt;/math&gt;

Based on this calculation, the galactic ecliptic node—and by extension, the Sun—has traveled 930 parsecs in its orbit around the Galactic Center. According to the reference table in '''Figure 5c''', this 930-parsec distance falls just below the 1000-parsec milestone associated with timestamp '''8209 D89D 89D8''', indicating that we are still within the zeroth week of the 66th Bully Galactic Calendar. To pinpoint a more exact location, the table in '''Figure 5d''' provides a finer-grained increment, indicating that a travel distance of '''933 1/3 parsecs''' corresponds to timestamp '''8209 3093 0930'''.

== The Metonic Cycle ==
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Bully Timestamp Realization ==
Each Bully timestamp is '''realized''' exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one.  However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an '''estimate''' of how time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Similarly, any assignment of future timestamps should be viewed as an estimate of what may occur, rather than a realization. Bully timestamps should only be considered &quot;realized&quot; when time is measured with an accuracy of 10&lt;sup&gt;-10&lt;/sup&gt;. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).

=== Time Estimation Divisions ===
[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
For the purpose of time estimation, the Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:

==== First Set ====
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Used to estimate time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Time Estimation Using Cosmic Redshift ===
In [[w:physics|physics]], a '''redshift''' is an increase in [[w:wavelength|wavelength]] (or a decrease in [[w:frequency|frequency]]) of [[w:electromagnetic radiation|electromagnetic radiation]]. Cosmological redshifts are driven directly by the [[w:expansion of the universe|expansion of the universe]]. The redshift value is denoted by {{math|''z''}}, where the ratio of observed to emitted wavelength is {{math|1 + ''z''}}.

If the original wavelength of a radiation source is known, its cosmological redshift can reveal the light travel time. However, mapping redshift precisely to elapsed time requires an exact cosmological model. Ongoing measurement tension surrounding the [[w:Hubble constant|Hubble constant]] introduces uncertainty into calculations of the exact [[w:Age of the universe|age of the universe]] and distant stars.

This cosmological uncertainty directly affects the accuracy of assigning Bully timestamps. The table in Figure 3 contrasts two estimation tracks based on competing cosmological datasets. One column applies the local distance ladder framework from the '''SH0ES Team''' (corresponding to a younger universe estimate of 12.7 Gyr). The other utilizes cosmic microwave background data from the '''Planck Collaboration''' (yielding an older universe estimate of approximately 13.8 Gyr). Larger z values correspond with the more distant past.

The forward-progressing timestamps ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' through ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'' are illustrated in Figure 4 (bottom of figure). By convention, these timestamps are assumed to begin at the Big Bang and progress forward for approximately three billion years.

[[File:Redshift-by-universe-age-H0-comparison.png|frame|center|alt=Age of the Universe plot showing Bully timestamps mapped to cosmic redshift.|Figure 4: Age of the Universe plot showing Bully timestamps mapped to cosmic redshift.]]

Timestamps ''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' through ''{{mono|8200 0000 0000}}'' (top of Figure 4) measure &quot;lookback&quot; time anchored at timestamp ''8209 2800 0000''. Because the total age of the universe is unfixed, the precise mathematical relationship between universal age and lookback time remains indefinite. Two different possible universe ages are shown with the Planck Collaboration shown in red and the SH0ES Team shown in blue.

The data illustrated in Figure 5 is the same as is shown in Figure 4, but Figure 5 plots against lookback time on the x-axis, so in this plot the universe age is unfixed with the Planck Collaboration shown in red and the SH0ES Team shown in blue.

The table in Figure 6 is similar to the table in Figure 3, in that it contrasts two estimation tracks based on competing cosmological datasets. However, whereas the data in Figure 3 was for large z values, Figure 6 shows small z values. Smaller z values correspond with the recent past.

===  Time Estimation Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?

The &quot;age of the universe&quot; cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the &quot;CMB rest frame.&quot;

Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All &quot;realized&quot; Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.

Furthermore, the &quot;estimated&quot; Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==

Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is &quot;contextual&quot; because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic &quot;leaps&quot; (seconds and years). In '''Figure 10''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.

In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to &quot;true time&quot; at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 10''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.

[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 10: Modern Time Keeping]]

The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively &quot;frozen&quot; in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.

The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 10''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this &quot;legacy offset&quot; confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

All the timestamps in '''Figure 11''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====

The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 11''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain &quot;cluttered&quot; by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several &quot;leap&quot; seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.

For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains &quot;tethered&quot; to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome &quot;hybrids&quot; that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.

==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====

The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 11''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==

The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to &lt;math&gt;10,330 \times 3,055&lt;/math&gt; SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.

The name &quot;Bully&quot; is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, &quot;bully&quot; means '''&quot;beautiful&quot; or &quot;excellent,&quot;''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of &quot;bullies&quot; like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

== The Bully Mnemonic ==

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; {1 \, Sidereal \, Year} = {31,558,150 \, Seconds} &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; {1 \, Tropical \, Year} = {31,556,926 \, Seconds} &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; 1 \, Great \, Year \approx 25,824 \, Sidereal \, Years \approx 25,825 \, Tropical \, Years &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt;{1 \, Galactic \, Year} \approx 8264 \, Great \, Year \approx 213,417,800 \, Tropical \, Years &lt;/math&gt;


The '''Bully Mnemonic''' is a technique for remembering the exact number of seconds that occur in Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year sidereal year] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year tropical year], a good approximation of the Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Year Great Year], and a rough approximation of the Solar System's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year galactic year].

The '''Bully Metric Timestamp''' system is an alternative timekeeping framework that utilizes the orbit of the Sun around the Milky Way Galaxy to mark the passage of time. A new successive Bully timestamp is realized each time the Sun advances by approximately one solar radius along its path through the Galaxy. Using '''12-digit''' [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] timestamps, the Bully system has enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ sec} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}&lt;/math&gt;
=== One Solar Radius ===
[[File:Bully_Metric_Galactic_Orbit_1_Timestamp.png|thumb|right|450px|alt=Diagram showing the Sun advancing a distance equal to its own radius along its galactic trajectory over a period of 3055 seconds.|'''Figure 1:''' Motion of the Sun between two successive Bully timestamps.]]
The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a very fast speed, roughly 227.7 kilometers per second (km/s), which equals approximately 0.076% of the speed of light. Even though the Sun is moving very quickly, it is also physically immense. The radius of the Sun (&lt;math&gt;R_\odot&lt;/math&gt;) is 695,700 kilometers. Dividing the solar radius by the galactic orbital velocity, we find that it takes approximately '''3055 seconds''' for the Sun to travel a distance equal to its own radius:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;\Delta t = \frac{695,700 \text{ km}}{227.7 \text{ km/s}} \approx 3055 \text{ seconds}&lt;/math&gt;
&amp;thinsp;
'''Figure 1''' illustrates the physical movement of the Sun between two successive Bully timestamps. Timestamp '''8209 2800 0000''' is defined to have occurred at exactly '''12:00:00 TAI (International Atomic Time) on June 21, 1998'''. The sequential timestamp, '''8209 2800 0001''', occurred exactly 3,055 seconds later at '''12:50:55 TAI on June 21, 1998'''. As shown in Figure 1, the Sun orbited a distance of roughly one solar radius during this 3,055-second period.

=== The Heliosphere ===
The heliosphere, it turns out, is not actually a sphere. As shown in '''Figure 2''', the heliosphere is a vast, oblong, tailed, bubble-like region that extends from the Sun into the surrounding space. The heliosphere is somewhat analogous to Earth's atmosphere, except that Earth's atmosphere is a comparatively thin layer of gas that remains near the Earth's surface. By comparison, the heliosphere is a plasma that is constantly blasted out into space due to the extreme heat and energy of the Sun.

[[File:Bully_Metric_Galactic_Orbit_65536_Timestamps.png|thumb|right|450px|alt=Diagram showing the Sun traveling through the oblong shape of the heliosphere over a span of 16 to the 4th power timestamps.|'''Figure 2:''' Motion of the Sun during the passage of 16&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps.]]

The heliosphere is very large. It is so vast that if it were truly spherical, its diameter would be on an order of magnitude similar to '''16&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; (65,536) solar radii'''. The digit in the '''fifth position''' in a Bully timestamp represents the time required for the Sun to orbit for '''6.344 years''', which covers a distance of approximately '''65,536 solar radii''', or roughly the diameter of one spherical heliosphere.

Figure 2 illustrates the orbit of the Sun (Sun not drawn to scale) over a period of 6.344 years. As explained previously, timestamp '''8209 2800 0000''' is defined to have occurred at exactly '''12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998'''. Timestamp '''8209 2801 0000''' therefore occurred roughly 6.344 years later at '''18:34:40 TAI on October 24, 2004'''.

Incidentally, the Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed into the heliosheath, as shown in Figure 2, on December 16th 2004. Both Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) have since crossed entirely out of the heliosphere and entered the surrounding interstellar space.

=== Naked Eye Stars ===
As described above, the '''first''' and '''fifth''' digits in a Bully timestamp respectively represent 3,055 seconds and roughly 6.344 years of orbit around the Milky Way galaxy at a velocity of approximately '''one Solar Radius (''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt;)''' per Bully timestamp. Before moving on to describe the physical significance of the '''ninth''' digit in terms of &quot;naked-eye stars,&quot; it is worth noting that the length 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; is remarkably close to 10&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; light-seconds. In fact, these distances are so similar (differing by less than 0.35%) that one can estimate the ratio of the sun's orbital speed to the speed of light by dividing:
&amp;thinsp;
:&lt;math&gt;\frac{10^{10}}{16^8 \times 3055} \approx 0.076\%&lt;/math&gt;
&amp;thinsp;
Furthermore, these values (16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; and 10&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; light-seconds) are of the same order of magnitude as 100 parsecs, where a parsec (roughly 3.26 light-years) is a common length unit used in astronomy. To be precise, '''16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; is approximately 96.83 parsecs'''.

'''Figure 3''' illustrates the physical movement of the Sun (Sun not drawn to scale) between 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; successive Bully timestamps. It is estimated that timestamp '''8209 0000 0000''' would have occurred roughly 63,000 B.C., and timestamp '''820A 0000 0000''' is estimated to occur around 353,000 A.D., for a total time lapse of '''416,000 years'''. The stacked histogram in Figure 3 has a red dashed line marking 96.83 parsecs (the distance the sun will travel in 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps). As indicated in the histogram, a large percentage of naked-eye stars are nearer to the sun than 96.83 parsecs, meaning that the appearance of the night sky will completely change over this timeframe.

A large percentage of these stars are closer to the sun than 16^8 R_☉, which is the distance that the sun travels in 16^8 Bully timestamps.|'''Figure 3:''' Motion of the Sun during the passage of 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps. The included stacked histogram shows that a large percentage of &quot;Naked Eye&quot; stars are within this travel distance of the sun, 96.83 parsecs or 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt;.]]

==== The Meaning of Naked-Eye Stars ====
The term naked-eye stars refers to any celestial object that can be seen in the night sky using only human vision, completely unaided by binoculars or telescopes. However, what qualifies as a &quot;naked-eye star&quot; is highly subjective, depending heavily on environmental light pollution and a person's biological visual acuity.

In remote regions like deserts or high mountains, the sky is perfectly dark. A person may see between 2,500 and 3,500 stars at a given time. The Milky Way can actually cast shadows on the ground in these conditions. In major metropolitan areas like New York or Tokyo, extreme light pollution blanks out the sky. Only the Moon, planets, and perhaps a dozen or two of the absolute brightest stars remain visible to the naked eye.

To see faint stars, human eyes must adapt to the dark, widening the pupils to draw in light. A young person's pupil may expand to 7 mm, whereas an older adult's pupil might only expand to 5 mm, naturally making faint stars invisible to the older observer. Also, minor uncorrected astigmatisms, nearsightedness, or mild cataracts smudge pinpoint starlight, causing faint stars to blend directly into the background glow of the night sky.

==== The Hipparchus Magnitude System ====
In 129 B.C., the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus created the world's first stellar catalog. He ranked the stars purely by how they appeared to his naked eye. In 1856, astronomer Norman Pogson formalized this ancient system mathematically. He discovered that the human eye perceives brightness logarithmically, and that Hipparchus’s 1st-magnitude stars were exactly 100 times brighter than his 6th-magnitude stars.

*'''1st Magnitude:''' The very brightest, &quot;first-rate&quot; stars to light up at twilight.
*'''2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Magnitude:''' Progressively dimmer stars.
*'''6th Magnitude:''' The absolute faintest, &quot;sixth-rate&quot; stars Hipparchus could barely see under pristine, ancient night skies.

The stars in Figure 3 are ranked using the modern version of Hipparchus's magnitude system. A total of 9,427 stars are included in the stacked histogram, but more than two-thirds of these are 6th-magnitude stars that are only visible in ideal circumstances. It is notable that stars of first through third magnitude tend to be nearer than 100 parsecs, whereas stars of fifth and sixth magnitude tend to be beyond the 100 parsecs mark. Over a time duration of 16&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps, the Sun will travel a distance that is beyond the majority of the brightest stars, but not as far as the dimmest naked-eye stars.

==== The Pleiades Star Cluster ====
'''Figure 4a''' provides an SVG illustration of magnitude as used in astronomy. The Pleiades Star Cluster is a good example to illustrate star magnitude. The cluster lies at an average distance of about 136.2 parsecs (approximately 444 light-years) from Earth, with the entire physical cluster spanning only about 4 to 5 parsecs in depth and width.

There are over 1,000 stars in the cluster, but shared gravity keeps them traveling through space together as a single family. Because the total internal gravity is relatively weak, it takes millions of years for a star to complete an orbital loop around the cluster's center, and the stars will eventually drift apart.

The Pleiades system, shown in '''Figure 4b''', has a combined apparent magnitude of 1.6. The nine brightest stars shown in '''Figure 4c''' have representatives ranging from third-magnitude stars to sixth-magnitude stars. A star map of the system from the Hubble Space Telescope is shown in '''Figure 4d'''.

== The Galactic Calendar ==
[[File:Sun_in_orbit_around_Galactic_Centre.gif|thumb|right|300px|alt=Diagram showing multiple stars moving along their respective orbital paths around the galactic center over a span of 250 million years.|'''Figure 5a:''' Stars orbiting around the Galactic center during a 250 million-year time period.]]

A '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This duration is not a fixed constant, but rather depends on the path a particular star follows as it orbits (see Figure 5a). Stars closer to the center orbit much more quickly than those on the outer edges. The stars shown in '''Figure 5a''' all eventually localize near the Sun despite having vastly different orbital trajectories, visually illustrating the long-term subtlety of galactic orbits.

Earlier in this resource, the Sun was assumed to travel roughly one solar radius per 3,055-second orbital timestamp. However, since the Sun’s deep-time trajectory is chaotic and unpredictable, its true orbital velocity is a topic of ongoing discovery and refinement. The previous conjectured value was just '''a useful assumption''' and not a reflection of long-term stable physical reality.

=== Bully Galactic Years ===
If the Sun followed a perfectly circular orbit around the Milky Way, with a radius of [https://www.mpe.mpg.de/6588951/The-black-hole 8,275 parsecs] (or 26,990 light-years), the total circumference of that ideal orbit would be determined by multiplying the radius by 2π:

:&lt;math&gt;\begin{align}
{\text{Circumference}} &amp;= 2\pi \times 8,275{\text{ parsecs}} \\
&amp;\approx 51,993{\text{ parsecs}}
\end{align}&lt;/math&gt;

If we divide this '''roughly 52,000-parsec''' ideal orbit into &quot;Galactic Weeks,&quot; where each week represents 1,000 parsecs of orbital travel, then a full Galactic Year would consist of 52 weeks. This beautifully mirrors the structure of an Earth year, which is also composed of roughly 52 weeks.

==== The Idealized Galactic Orbit ====
Within the context of the Bully timekeeping system, an idealized '''Bully Galactic Year''' will be defined to have a time duration of exactly '''2 × 16&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; Bully timestamps''' (approximately 213 million years). This fixed value is not identical to a true, observed galactic year, and should be interpreted as an idealization. The table in '''Figure 5b''' illustrates how scaling the assumed baseline from 1 ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; per orbital timestamp up to 1.0488227 ''R''&lt;sub&gt;☉&lt;/sub&gt; per orbital timestamp aligns the highest digits directly with major cosmic eras.

=== Bully Galactic Weeks ===
The table in '''Figure 5c''' illustrates the division of a Galactic Year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. The table shows the Bully timestamp at which each one thousand parsecs of travel distance would be achieved in an idealized circular orbit.

Timestamps in the range '''8200 0000 0000''' through '''83FF FFFF FFFF''' indicate that the system is recording time within the '''66th Bully Galactic Year''' of the Universe. However, the Sun (and our solar system) did not come into existence until the 45th Bully Galactic Year, meaning our solar system is only '''21 Bully Galactic Years old'''.

=== The galactic ecliptic node near Sagittarius ===
A '''galactic ecliptic node''' is an intersection point on the celestial sphere where the plane of Earth's orbit (the ecliptic) crosses the plane of the Milky Way (the galactic equator). One of these intersection points is currently located near the Sagittarius constellation.

'''Sagittarius A*''' (abbreviated as Sgr A* and pronounced &quot;Sagittarius A-star&quot;) is the supermassive black hole located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. As the Sun orbits the Galactic center, the galactic ecliptic node—moving in concert with the Sun—shifts away from Sagittarius A* at a rate of 2.70 mas (milliarcseconds) per year in right ascension and 5.60 mas per year in declination. From the perspective of the Sun, the node appears to be stationary and the supermassive black hole appears to be moving in the opposite direction. In reality, it is the Sun and the node that are moving.

[[File:Ophiuchus_Galactic_Equatorial_Node.png|thumb|center|600px|alt=An educational image illustrating the 6.44-degree separation between Sagittarius A* and the adjacent Galactic Ecliptic Node. The Node, moving in concert with the Sun, shifts away from Sagittarius A* at a rate of 2.70 mas per year in right ascension and 5.60 mas per year in declination. |'''Figure 5d:''' An image illustrating the 6.44-degree separation between Sagittarius A* and the galactic ecliptic node.]]

Within the context of the Bully timekeeping system, the path of the galactic ecliptic node as it shifts away from Sagittarius A* can be used as a surrogate to track the motion of the Sun as it orbits the Galactic Center. The Sagittarius node, shown in '''Figure 5d''', is currently located 6.44° away from Sagittarius A* on the celestial sphere. The Sun's orbital travel distance can be calculated by multiplying the orbital radius (8,275 parsecs) by 6.44° and the ratio of (2π / 360°).

&lt;math&gt;d = 8,275 \text{ pc} \times 6.44^\circ \times \left(\frac{2\pi}{360^\circ}\right) \approx 930.10 \text{ pc}&lt;/math&gt;

Based on this calculation, the galactic ecliptic node—and by extension, the Sun—has traveled 930 parsecs in its orbit around the Galactic Center. According to the reference table in '''Figure 5c''', this 930-parsec distance falls just below the 1000-parsec milestone associated with timestamp '''8209 D89D 89D8''', indicating that we are still within the zeroth week of the 66th Bully Galactic Calendar. To pinpoint a more exact location, the table in '''Figure 5d''' provides a finer-grained increment, indicating that a travel distance of '''933 1/3 parsecs''' corresponds to timestamp '''8209 3093 0930'''.

== The Metonic Cycle ==
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Bully Timestamp Realization ==
Each Bully timestamp is '''realized''' exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one.  However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an '''estimate''' of how time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Similarly, any assignment of future timestamps should be viewed as an estimate of what may occur, rather than a realization. Bully timestamps should only be considered &quot;realized&quot; when time is measured with an accuracy of 10&lt;sup&gt;-10&lt;/sup&gt;. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).

=== Time Estimation Divisions ===
[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
For the purpose of time estimation, the Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:

==== First Set ====
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Used to estimate time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

* Approximately: ''{{mono|0297 0000 0000}}''
** [[w:MoM-z14|Oldest Observed Galaxy]]
&lt;/div&gt;

==== Second Set ====
* ''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'': Used to estimate cosmic look-back time ('''Figure 2'''), spanning from approximately 10.4 billion years ago to exactly 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998. Key milestones from the presolar through geological eras include:
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f0f4f7;{{Text color default}}; padding: 15px; border-left: 5px solid #009688;&quot;&gt;

=== Time Estimation Using Cosmic Redshift ===
In [[w:physics|physics]], a '''redshift''' is an increase in [[w:wavelength|wavelength]] (or a decrease in [[w:frequency|frequency]]) of [[w:electromagnetic radiation|electromagnetic radiation]]. Cosmological redshifts are driven directly by the [[w:expansion of the universe|expansion of the universe]]. The redshift value is denoted by {{math|''z''}}, where the ratio of observed to emitted wavelength is {{math|1 + ''z''}}.

If the original wavelength of a radiation source is known, its cosmological redshift can reveal the light travel time. However, mapping redshift precisely to elapsed time requires an exact cosmological model. Ongoing measurement tension surrounding the [[w:Hubble constant|Hubble constant]] introduces uncertainty into calculations of the exact [[w:Age of the universe|age of the universe]] and distant stars.

This cosmological uncertainty directly affects the accuracy of assigning Bully timestamps. The table in Figure 3 contrasts two estimation tracks based on competing cosmological datasets. One column applies the local distance ladder framework from the '''SH0ES Team''' (corresponding to a younger universe estimate of 12.7 Gyr). The other utilizes cosmic microwave background data from the '''Planck Collaboration''' (yielding an older universe estimate of approximately 13.8 Gyr). Larger z values correspond with the more distant past.

The forward-progressing timestamps ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' through ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'' are illustrated in Figure 4 (bottom of figure). By convention, these timestamps are assumed to begin at the Big Bang and progress forward for approximately three billion years.

Timestamps ''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' through ''{{mono|8200 0000 0000}}'' (top of Figure 4) measure &quot;lookback&quot; time anchored at timestamp ''8209 2800 0000''. Because the total age of the universe is unfixed, the precise mathematical relationship between universal age and lookback time remains indefinite. Two different possible universe ages are shown with the Planck Collaboration shown in red and the SH0ES Team shown in blue.

The data illustrated in Figure 5 is the same as is shown in Figure 4, but Figure 5 plots against lookback time on the x-axis, so in this plot the universe age is unfixed with the Planck Collaboration shown in red and the SH0ES Team shown in blue.

The table in Figure 6 is similar to the table in Figure 3, in that it contrasts two estimation tracks based on competing cosmological datasets. However, whereas the data in Figure 3 was for large z values, Figure 6 shows small z values. Smaller z values correspond with the recent past.

===  Time Estimation Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?

The &quot;age of the universe&quot; cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the &quot;CMB rest frame.&quot;

Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All &quot;realized&quot; Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.

Furthermore, the &quot;estimated&quot; Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==

Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is &quot;contextual&quot; because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic &quot;leaps&quot; (seconds and years). In '''Figure 10''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.

In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to &quot;true time&quot; at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 10''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.

[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 10: Modern Time Keeping]]

The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively &quot;frozen&quot; in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.

The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 10''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this &quot;legacy offset&quot; confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==

All the timestamps in '''Figure 11''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====

The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 11''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain &quot;cluttered&quot; by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several &quot;leap&quot; seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.

For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains &quot;tethered&quot; to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome &quot;hybrids&quot; that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.

==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====

The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 11''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==

The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to &lt;math&gt;10,330 \times 3,055&lt;/math&gt; SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.

The name &quot;Bully&quot; is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, &quot;bully&quot; means '''&quot;beautiful&quot; or &quot;excellent,&quot;''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of &quot;bullies&quot; like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

== The Bully Mnemonic ==

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; {1 \, Sidereal \, Year} = {31,558,150 \, Seconds} &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; {1 \, Tropical \, Year} = {31,556,926 \, Seconds} &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt; 1 \, Great \, Year \approx 25,824 \, Sidereal \, Years \approx 25,825 \, Tropical \, Years &lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math display=&quot;block&quot;&gt;{1 \, Galactic \, Year} \approx 8264 \, Great \, Year \approx 213,417,800 \, Tropical \, Years &lt;/math&gt;


The '''Bully Mnemonic''' is a technique for remembering the exact number of seconds that occur in Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year sidereal year] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year tropical year], a good approximation of the Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Year Great Year], and a rough approximation of the Solar System's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year galactic year].

Another of the leaders of that occupation, [[w:LaVoy Finicum|Robert LaVoy Finicum]], had been shot and killed by law enforcement after he reached for a handgun concealed in his pocket while vigorously trying to evade arrest. Many people living near there felt threatened by large numbers of outsiders, often dressed in military-style attire carrying firearms aggressively approaching them in local stores and asking their opinions about the Hammonds. Locals responded by calling public meetings and encouraging law enforcement to take appropriate action against the occupiers.

== Selected observations ==

=== Trump's knowledge of Project 2025 ===
Early in the interview, Graves asked Brooks his reaction to Trump's denials that he knew anything about Project 2025. Brooks responded, &quot;Trump's denials of any connection to project 2025 are, like most of the things he says he lies so frequently.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Approximate 3:11 m:ss in the accompanying video. A Wikipedia article on &quot;[[w:False or misleading statements by Donald Trump|False or misleading statements by Donald Trump]]&quot; reported that, 'Commentators and fact-checkers have described the scale of Trump's mendacity as &quot;unprecedented&quot; in American politics, and the consistency of falsehoods a distinctive part of his business and political identities. Scholarly analysis of Trump's tweets found &quot;significant evidence&quot; of an intent to deceive.' Accessed 2024-10-27.&lt;/ref&gt; The Wikipedia article on [[w:Project 2025|Project 2025]] says that many contributors to Project 2025 &quot;are associated with Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign.&quot; [[w:The Heritage Foundation|The Heritage Foundation]] employs many people closely aligned with Trump including members of his 2017–2021 administration. Moreover, some Trump campaign officials had regular contact with the Project 2025 team but began to distance themselves from it as it started generating controversy. Much of Project 2025 is contained in Trump's official &quot;[[w:Agenda 47|Agenda 47]]&quot;. ([[w:List of presidents of the United States|The next president will be the 47th]] in US history.)

=== Biggest problems facing the US today ===

Graves asked how Project 2025 defines the biggest problems facing the US today. Brooks said it &quot;reads more like a lament for a lost America. They, I think, say that the biggest problems in America are too much freedom for women, too much equality for people of color, too much competence in the federal workforce, and too many protections for workers' rights and the natural systems that we all rely on to sustain life here on earth. ... [T]hey see the problems almost more cultural and political and legal than what you might call policy&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Approximate 5:28 m:ss in the accompanying video.&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Global warming ===

Asked how Project 2025 perceives global warming, Brooks said, &quot;Most of the authors of the segments about energy and climate change come from organizations that pretty expressly deny the reality.. ... Many of them have direct links to fossil fuel industries. ... Project 2025 endorses the promise that Trump made in the second year of his administration that the United States should ... dominate the world's energy markets&quot; with fossil fuels.&lt;ref&gt;Approximate 6:21 m:ss in the accompanying video.&lt;/ref&gt;


=== Pollution === 

Graves then asked what Project 2025 wants to do about water and air pollution. Brooks said that the parts of Project 2025 dealing with the environment had been appointed to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by Trump and said the &quot;EPA is probably twice as big as it needs to be&quot; and far more powerful. It should be cut in half and moved out of DC, e.g., to Texas or Florida.&lt;ref&gt;Approximate 8:01 m:ss in the accompanying video.&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Personnel can be policy === 

A key point in Project 2025, Brooks said, &quot;is the recognition .... that in DC, personnel can be policy.&quot; Project 2025 has compiled a huge list of Trump loyalist whom they hope to install in key positions in the federal government. They've also identified &quot;blacklist members&quot;, people whom they believed were not sympathetic to Trump's goals or even tried to undermine them. Project 2025 believes, Brooks said, &quot;that the federal workforce needs to have a lot more political appointees directly responsible to the president and not independent, qualified, competent civil servants.&quot; It's similar to the 1890s when our economic inequality is as grotesque as it is today. Loyalty matters to Trump and to Project 2025 more than competence.&lt;ref&gt;Approximate 13:45 m:ss in the accompanying video.&lt;/ref&gt;

=== The president can ignore the Supreme Court === 

Brooks continued, &quot;[[w:JD Vance|JD Vance]] has identified many federal workers as the enemy from within. During the summer Vance suggested that the president's first act, should he be elected, would be to fire about half or more of all the federal agency employees throughout the country to make way for people who are personally loyal to Donald Trump and JD Vance. ... Vance, who is also a lawyer, said to Donald Trump, if you fire all these people, of course you violate probably half a dozen different laws ... . And if the Supreme Court finds that you broke the law, tough: Disregard the Supreme Court.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;This discussion appears approximate 16:06 m:ss in the accompanying video. Documentation of Vance's comments in this regard appears in Carnahan (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; [[w:Andrew Jackson|Andrew Jackson]] did that when he was president of the US, 1829-1837. Recent decisions by the Supreme Court have made it much easier for the president to do that, e.g., in their decision in ''[[w:Trump v. United States (2024)|Trump v. United States]]'' (2024-07-01) that current and former presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts while in office. Also, ''[[w:Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo|Loper Bright Enterprises]]'' decision (2024-06-28), which overturned the ''[[w:Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.|Chevron]]'' (1984) decision, makes it potentially impossible for governmental agencies to enforce the law as long as a major corporation can claim there is ambiguity in the statute.

== Karl Brooks == 

Brooks is an attorney with a PhD in history. He served three terms in the Idaho state senate and taught environmental history at the [[w:University of Kansas|University of Kansas]] (KU) for a decade during which time he wrote two books on (2006) ''Public Power, Private Dams: The Hells Canyon High Dam Controversy'', (2009) ''Before Earth Day: The Origins of American Environmental Law, 1945-1970'', and edited a third, (2009) ''The Environmental Legacy of Harry S. Truman''. In 2010 he was appointed the Administrator for Region 7 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), responsible for Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas including native American jurisdictions in those states. In 2015, he became the national operations manager for the EPA. He later became deputy director of the Administrative Office of the Courts in New Mexico. Then he served two years as senior staff executive for the multi-county judicial district based in Taos before rejoining the faculty at KU.

== Project 2025 == 

[[w:Project 2025|Project 2025]] is a political initiative published online in 2023 by the conservative think tank [[w:The Heritage Foundation|The Heritage Foundation]] as ''[[w:Mandate for Leadership|Mandate for Leadership]]'': [[w:Mandate for Leadership#Mandate IX|''The Conservative Promise'']].&lt;ref&gt;Dans (2023).&lt;/ref&gt;

[[w:Kevin Roberts|Kevin Roberts]], President of The Heritage Foundation, introduced that book by noting that the Heritage Foundation had published an earlier ''Mandate for Leadership'' in January 1981, the same month that [[w:Ronald Reagan| Ronald Reagan]] was inaugurated as President, and “By the end of that year, more than 60 percent of its recommendations had become policy—and Reagan was on his way to ending stagflation, reviving American confidence and prosperity, and winning the Cold War.”

The Heritage Foundation has published new editions of ''Mandate for Leadership'' during 8 of the 11 presidential elections since 1981, with the current version being the ninth.&lt;ref&gt;They skipped 1992, 2008 and 2012.&lt;/ref&gt; In 2018, The Heritage Foundation claimed that the Trump administration had embraced 64%, almost 2/3rds, of the 334 proposed policies in the seventh edition of their ''Mandate for Leadership''.

Other experts on US history and politics do not agree that Reagan ended stagflation, revived American confidence and prosperity, and won the Cold War. For example, Matthews (2022) claimed that [[w:Paul Volker|Paul Volker]], appointed to chair the [[Federal Reserve|US Federal Reserve system]] in 1979 by [[w:Jimmy Carter|President Carter]], had pushed the US into recession by 1980 and contributed to Reagan’s victory that November. And [[w:Ohio State University|Ohio State]] professor [[w:John Mueller|John Mueller]] insists that the [[w:Cold War|Cold War]] was ''not'' won by President Reagan but rather by the non-interventionist policies of President Carter, which encouraged the [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]] to try to support economic basket cases like Nicaragua and Mozambique and to invade Afghanistan, where they essentially bled to death.&lt;ref&gt;Mueller (2021).&lt;/ref&gt;

== The threat == 

Internet company executives have knowingly increased political polarization and violence including the [[w:Rohingya genocide|Rohingya genocide]] in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], because doing otherwise might have reduced their profits. Documentation of this is summarized in [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

[[File:Local newspapers limit malfeasance.webm|thumb|Arizona State U. Accounting Prof. Roger M. White discusses research documenting how local newspapers limit malfeasance in business, government, and nonprofits.]]
[[File:Local newspapers limit malfeasance.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss podcast extracted from an interview conducted 2025-02-25 of [[w:Arizona State University|Arizona State University]] accounting professor Roger White by Spencer Graves about various ways in which local newspapers limit malfeasance in government, local businesses and nonprofits.]]

[[w:Arizona State University|Arizona State University]] Accounting Professor Roger White&lt;ref name=White/&gt; is interviewed by Spencer Graves.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; They discuss research documenting the value of independent newspapers, especially local newspapers, in limiting malfeasance. A 2021 research article White co-authored with Kim, Stice and Stice reported that after local newspapers die, the average dividends paid by locally concentrated, publicly traded companies on average increase. They say that's because investors demand higher dividends, because malfeasance is more likely after a watchdog newspaper dies.&lt;ref&gt;Kim et al. (2021).&lt;/ref&gt; 

== Related research on the value of news == 

White's research on the impact of local news on the cost of capital adds to a body of research documenting other problems associated with a decline in local news. For example, factories emit on average 10% more pollution,&lt;ref&gt;Jiang and Kong (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; insider trading decreases the [[w:Financial market efficiency|efficiency of financial markets]], nonprofit leaders take higher wages so less of donors' money goes to the advertised purposes of their generosity,&lt;ref&gt;Felix et al. (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; and workplace safety violations jump.&lt;ref&gt;Heese et al, (2022).&lt;/ref&gt;

Other problems include a decline in voter participation and split-ticket voting. On average, politicians spend less money to get elected and tend not to work as hard in office. Political corruption becomes more likely and costly. And bond ratings of local governmental bodies decline, thereby increasing the cost of capital.&lt;ref&gt;Wikiversity, &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;, accessed 2025-02-23.&lt;/ref&gt;

== Other problems with questionable accounting practices == 

White and Graves also discuss potential problems with firing inspectors general, as President Trump has done [[w:2025 dismissals of inspectors general|since taking office]] earlier this year and [[w:2020 dismissals of inspectors general|during his first term]]. This should be a red flag for anyone concerned about rule of law, given the substantial documentation that senior executives can find accountants and auditors willing to conspire to defraud investors and the public. [[w:William K. Black|William K. Black]] (2005, 2013) ''The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One'' (U. of Texas Pr.) documented this during the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|Savings and loan crisis]] of the 1980s and 1990s. A recent example of this was publicized with the actions of the [[w:United States Securities and Exchange Commission|US Securities and Exchange Commission]] on 2024-05-03 to fine the accounting firm of [[w:BF Borgers|BF Borgers]] $12 million and ban them from further work. Reports of that action said that Borgers had filed 1,500 fraudulent filings involving 500 public companies. [[w:Trump Media &amp; Technology Group|Trump Media &amp; Technology Group]] was one of Borgers' clients. The magnitude of this fraud raises many questions. For example, how many people knew that a report they saw was fraudulent? How many looked the other way? How many were told to look the other way? How many were in the SEC vs. associated with a Borgers client? How many questionable actions by business executives would likely have been exposed or prevented by honest audits? How many customers lost how much money due to substandard products or services that would have been avoided with honest, quality audits? How many journalists suppressed this story before it finally came out?

== Other publications by White ==

White has other publications that relate to this topic including the following: 

* A 2020 paper with Ellis and Smith on &quot;Corruption and corporate innovation&quot; documents how political corruption is an obstacle to corporate innovation.&lt;ref&gt;Ellis et al. (2020).&lt;/ref&gt; Other work documents how political corruption tends to increase when newspapers die.&lt;ref&gt;A spectacular example of this is the &quot;[[w:City of Bell scandal|City of Bell scandal]]&quot;: Around 1999 the local newspaper died. In 2010 the ''[[w:Los Angeles Times|Los Angeles Times]]'' reported that the city was close to bankruptcy in spite of having atypically high property tax rates. The compensation for the City Manager was almost four times that of the President of the US, even though Bell, California, had a population of only approximately 38,000. Other city officials also had exceptionally high compensations. It was as if the City Manager had said in 1999, &quot;Wow: The watchdog is dead. Let's have a party.&quot; See also [[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]].&lt;/ref&gt; 

* A 2021 paper with Deason, Rajgopal, and Waymire on &quot;The Role of Accounting in Ponzi Schemes&quot; notes that some Ponzi schemes use news outlets to attract customers, even though doing so increases the risks of being caught.&lt;ref&gt;Deason et al. (2021).&lt;/ref&gt;

* A 2022 paper with Derrald and Han Stice on “The effect of individual auditor quality on audit outcomes: opening the black box of audit quality” discusses the relative roles of junior and senior members of an accounting firm in producing high quality audits.&lt;ref&gt;Stice et al. (2022).&lt;/ref&gt;

== The threat == 

All these effects seem likely to reduce the rate of economic growth as the quality and quantity of local news declines. As ownership and control of the media become more highly concentrated, major media may more easily deflect the public's attention from the political corruption enabled by poor media. This can create other problems, by, e.g., [[w:Scapegoating|scapegoating]] [[w:Immigration|immigrants]] and attacking [[w:Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, equity, and inclusion]] (DEI). This could in turn increase political polarization and violence including, as summarized in other interviews in this Media &amp; Democracy series, available on Wikiversity under [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

Neff and Pickard (2024) analyzed data on media funding and democracy in 33 countries. The US has been rated as a &quot;flawed democracy&quot; according to the [[w:Economist Democracy Index|Economist Democracy Index]] and spends substantially less per capital on media compared to the world's leading democracies in Scandinavia and Commonweath countries. They note that commercial media focuses primarily on people with money, while publicly-funded media try harder to serve everyone, and public funding is more strongly correlated with democracy than private funding. This recommends increasing public funding for media as a means of strengthening democracy. See also &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;.

[[File:Trump ordered changes in public data.webm|thumb|2025-03-28 interview with Georgetown Prof. O’Hara, President of the Association of Public Data Users regarding Trump ordered reductions in public data and their implications for the political economy.]]
[[File:Trump ordered changes in public data.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss podcast from Interview conducted 2025-03-28 of Amy O’Hara by Spencer Graves about Trump ordered changes in public data and their implications for the political economy.]]

[[w:Georgetown University|Georgetown]] professor Amy O’Hara&lt;ref name=OHara/&gt; discusses the deletions and modifications of massive amounts of data from US federal government websites on orders from President Trump since his second inauguration, 2025-01-20, and how those actions threaten rule of law and broadly shared economic growth for the long term. O’Hara is President of the Association of Public Data Users (APDU),&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--APDU--&gt;{{cite Q|Q131542415}}&lt;/ref&gt; which facilitates collaboration between producers, users, and disseminators of public statistical data to promote responsible and rigorous collection, creation, distribution, preservation, and analysis of federal statistical data.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--APDU About us--&gt;{{cite Q|Q133554565}}&lt;/ref&gt; She is interviewed by Spencer Graves.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

[[w:2025 United States government online resource removals|Thousands of US federal government web pages and datasets were deleted]]. Some have since been restored, many with alterations. The changes primarily affected content related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, gender identity, public health, environment, and social programs.

Major affected agencies included the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which saw over 3,000 pages altered or removed, and the Census Bureau, which removed about 3,000 pages of research materials. While some content was later restored, the modifications represented significant changes to federal government data accessibility and sparked legal challenges from healthcare advocacy groups.

[[w:Political interference with science agencies by the first Trump administration|During his first term as president (2017–2021)]], Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly politicized science by pressuring or overriding health and science agencies to change their reporting and recommendations to conform to his policies and public comments.

Censorship like this facilitates image management but makes it exceedingly difficult and often impossible to evaluate the actual impact of changes. Leaders may claim they tried to fix a problem. If problems persist, leaders routinely claim that their efforts would have been effective without the sabotage of their designated enemies. Fixing the problems then requires the defeat of said enemies.

To what extent has the massive consolidation of ownership of the media over the past 100 to 150 years contributed to giving President Trump the political support needed to make the dramatic and sweeping changes mentioned above?

== O'Hara ==

Before joining Georgetown, O'Hara was a senior executive at the [[w:United States Census Bureau|US Census Bureau]] where she founded their administrative data curation and research unit. She holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Notre Dame. On 2025-03-27 the [[w:Google Scholar|Google Scholar]] entry for her included 57 entries cited by 511 other academic publications. &lt;ref name=OHara/&gt;

== Background == 

[[Great American Paradox|One major contributor to the dominant position of the US in the international political economy]] today may have been the [[w:Postal Service Act|US Postal Service Act of 1792]]. Under that act, newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. [[w:Alexis de Tocqueville|Alexis de Tocqueville]], who visited the relatively young United States of America in 1831, wrote, “There is scarcely a hamlet that does not have its own newspaper.”&lt;ref&gt;Tocqueville (1835, p. 93).&lt;/ref&gt; McChesney and Nichols estimated that those newspaper subsidies were roughly 0.21 percent of national income (Gross Domestic Project, GDP) in 1841.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2010, pp. 310-311, note 88).&lt;/ref&gt;

At that time, the US probably led the world by far in the number of independent newspaper publishers per capita or per million population. This wide availability of diverse perspectives encouraged literacy and limited political corruption. These limits on corruption included the inability of a small number of major media outlets to dominate political discourse.

That began to change in the 1850s and 1860s with the introduction of high speed rotary presses, which increased the capital required to start a newspaper.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015, p. 80).&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1887 [[w:William Randolph Hearst|William Randolph Hearst]] took over management of his father’s ''[[w:San Francisco Examiner|San Francisco Examiner]]''. His success there gave him an appetite for building a newspaper chain. His 1895 purchase of the ''[[w:New York Morning Journal|New York Morning Journal]]'' gave him a second newspaper. By the mid-1920s, he owned 28 newspapers. Consolidation of ownership of the media became easier with the introduction of broadcasting and even easier with the Internet.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015). See also Wikiversity, “[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]” and “[[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]]“.&lt;/ref&gt; [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|This consolidation seems to be increasing political polarization and violence worldwide]], threatening democracy itself.

== The threat ==

A previous ''Media &amp; Democracy'' interview with Arizona State University accounting professor Roger White on &quot;[[Local newspapers limit malfeasance]]&quot; describes problems that increase as the quality and quantity of news declines and ownership and control of the media become more highly concentrated: Major media too often deflect the public's attention from political corruption enabled by poor media. This too often contributes to other problems like [[w:Scapegoating|scapegoating]] [[w:Immigration|immigrants]] and attacking [[w:Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, equity, and inclusion]] (DEI) while also facilitating increases in pollution, the cost of borrowing, political polarization and violence, and decreases in workplace safety. More on this is included in other interviews in this ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series available on Wikiversity under [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

An important quantitative analysis of the problems associated with deficiencies in news is Neff and Pickard (2024). They analyzed data on media funding and democracy in 33 countries. The US has been rated as a &quot;flawed democracy&quot; according to the [[w:Economist Democracy Index|Economist Democracy Index]] and spends substantially less per capita on media compared to the world's leading democracies in Scandinavia and Commonweath countries. They note that commercial media focus primarily on people with money, while publicly-funded media try harder to serve everyone. Public funding is more strongly correlated with democracy than private funding. This recommends increasing public funding for media as a means of strengthening democracy.

[[File:The value of indigenous and community radio.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss of excerpts from a 2025-04-10 interview with University of Leicester professor Katie Moylan about the value of indigenous and community radio.]]

[[w:University of Leicester|University of Leicester]] professor Katie Moylan&lt;ref name=Moylan/&gt; describes her research into the value of community radio including indigenous radio in the US. She is interviewed by Spencer Graves&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; with [[w:KKFI|KKFI]], Kansas City Community Radio.

== Indigenous radio == 

There are roughly 60 tribally owned and managed radio stations in the US. That's a small portion of the Indigenous communities in the US.&lt;ref&gt;Moylan (2022a).&lt;/ref&gt;  

There are 574 federally recognized tribal nations as of 2024.&lt;ref&gt;[[w:Tribal sovereignty in the United States|Tribal sovereignty in the United States]], accessed 2025-04-08.&lt;/ref&gt; In addition there are many Indigenous bands, communities, nations, pueblos, tribes, and native villages recognized by individual states.&lt;ref&gt;Moylan (2022a).&lt;/ref&gt; At least some of the Indigenous radio stations provide important public health information, including in Indigenous languages.&lt;ref&gt;e.g., Moylan (2022a, 2023).&lt;/ref&gt;  

Moylan (2022b) discussed the value of &quot;Community radio production as critical pedagogy&quot; particularly for Black students and students from minority ethnic communities, &quot;who arrive in an academy that was not shaped for or by&quot; them. The undergraduate module at the University of Leicester that Moylan co-teaches has students produce content for a local multilingual community radio station, EAVA FM.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--EAVA FM--&gt;{{cite Q|Q133843389}}&lt;/ref&gt; Exercises like this can help students whose experiences may be otherwise under-represented present themselves positively to a wider audience. This experience may also make it easier for them to make valuable contributions to building community radio, including Indigenous radio, later in life.

Moylan and Nanaeto (2022) described how Indigenous music radio expands capacities for tribal community-building on-air in ways that reinforce a cultural Indigenous internationalism. They focus on two Indigenous radio stations: 
* [[w:KPRI|KPRI]], which is owned by the [[w:Pala Indian Reservation|Pala Band of Mission Indians]] and serves the community in and near [[w:Pala, California|Pala, California]]. 
* [[w:KSUT|KSUT]], which serves the Southern Ute tribe and others in [[w:Ignacio, Colorado|Ignacio, Colorado]] and the neighboring [[w:Four Corners|Four Corners]] region.

== Community radio more generally == 

Moylan (2014) explored the representation of migrant communities in Irish Radio. Moylan (2019) described ''The TalkBack Show'' on [[w:Nottingham|Nottingham]] community station [[w:Kemet FM|Kemet FM]], which produces articulations of British Caribbean identity. Moylan claimed that ethnic radio like this supports community radio’s remit of inclusivity via transcultural production of ‘accented radio’.

== Moylan ==

Professor Moylan has two books on ''The Cultural Work of Community Radio'', which appeared in 2019, and ''Broadcasting Diversity: Migrant Representation in Irish Radio'' from 2014. She has also published numerous research reports in refereed academic journals and as chapters in research monographs. 

She earned a two-year prestigious European Union [[w:Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions|Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Research Fellowship]]&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships--&gt;{{cite Q|Q133832425}}&lt;/ref&gt; to conduct in-depth research into Indigenous community-led radio in urban and rural contexts in the US. The prize was named after [[w:Marie Curie|Marie Curie]], the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first human to win two Nobel prizes in different fields. She was born and raised in Poland as Maria Skłodowska and moved to Paris in her early 20s to study and work, because no comparable opportunities were available in Poland for females at that time. 

Moylan spent the first year of this fellowship working out of the [[w:University of Texas at Arlington| University of Texas at Arlington]] exploring diverse ways in which Indigenous programming enables community self-determination and representation through locally produced tribally-specific content and collective practices. This work includes mapping Indigenous radio stations in the US. 

Moylan was raised in [[w:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]]. She earned masters degrees from the [[w:University of Glasgow|University of Glasgow]] in Scotland and the [[w:University of Galway|National University of Ireland - Galway]] and a PhD from [[w:Technological University Dublin|Technological University Dublin]]. Between degrees, she worked as a features journalist, radio producer and presenter and arts and film reviewer in Irish print and broadcast media.&lt;ref name=Moylan/&gt; 

== The need for media reform to improve democracy == 

This article is part of [[:category:Media reform to improve democracy]]. We briefly summarize here the motivation for this series.

[[Great American Paradox|One major contributor to the dominant position of the US in the international political economy]] today may have been the [[w:Postal Service Act|US Postal Service Act of 1792]]. Under that act, newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. [[w:Alexis de Tocqueville|Alexis de Tocqueville]], who visited the relatively young United States of America in 1831, wrote, “There is scarcely a hamlet that does not have its own newspaper.”&lt;ref&gt;Tocqueville (1835, p. 93).&lt;/ref&gt; McChesney and Nichols estimated that these newspaper subsidies were roughly 0.21 percent of national income (Gross Domestic Project, GDP) in 1841.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2010, pp. 310-311, note 88).&lt;/ref&gt;

At that time, the US probably led the world by far in the number of independent newspaper publishers per capita or per million population. That encouraged literacy and limited political corruption, both of which contributed to making the US a leader in the rate of growth in average annual income (Gross Domestic Product, GDP, per capita, adjusted for inflation). Corruption was also limited by the inability of a small number of publishers to dominate political discourse.

That began to change in the 1850s and 1860s with the introduction of high speed rotary presses, which increased the capital required to start a newspaper.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015, p. 80).&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1887 [[w:William Randolph Hearst|William Randolph Hearst]] took over management of his father’s ''[[w:San Francisco Examiner|San Francisco Examiner]]''. His success there gave him an appetite for building a newspaper chain. His 1895 purchase of the ''[[w:New York Morning Journal|New York Morning Journal]]'' gave him a second newspaper.

Consolidation of ownership of the media became easier with the introduction of broadcasting and even easier with the Internet.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015). See also Wikiversity, “[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]” and “[[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]]“.&lt;/ref&gt; [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|This consolidation seems to be increasing political polarization and violence worldwide]], threatening democracy itself.

=== The threat from loss of newspapers ===

A previous ''Media &amp; Democracy'' interview with Arizona State University accounting professor Roger White on &quot;[[Local newspapers limit malfeasance]]&quot; describes problems that increase as the quality and quantity of news declines and ownership and control of the media become more highly concentrated: Major media too often deflect the public's attention from political corruption enabled by poor media. This too often contributes to other problems like [[w:Scapegoating|scapegoating]] [[w:Immigration|immigrants]] and attacking [[w:Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, equity, and inclusion]] (DEI) while also facilitating increases in pollution, the cost of borrowing, political polarization and violence, and decreases in workplace safety.

== US government secrecy ==

=== Complicity in nuclear proliferation === 

Graves asked about claims by [[w:Richard Barlow (intelligence analyst)|Richard Barlow]] that the US State Department had clandestinely supported illegal exports of &quot;dual use technologies&quot; to Pakistan, without which Pakistan would likely not have nuclear weapons today -- and North Korea got some of their nuclear technology from Pakistan. Harper ageed, noting that she had previously worked with the [[w:National Security Archive|National Security Archive]]. William Burr&lt;ref&gt;

https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/about/staff/dr-william-burr

&lt;/ref&gt; directs their &quot;Nuclear Vault&quot;, which contains resources from their &quot;Nuclear Documentation Project&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;

https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/project/nuclear-vault

&lt;/ref&gt; He has led a decades-long struggle to get records that are 50, 60 and 70 years old declassified. Many documents they get are so heavily redacted that you cannot make sense out of any of it. This &quot;makes it more difficult for current policymakers to craft effective and rational nuclear policy.&quot;

=== Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy ===

Graves then asked about the [[w:Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy|Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy]] of the 1990s. Harper said &quot;they basically said that government secrecy effectively works as a form of government regulation, because the public cannot engage in their right  to selfgovern when they don't have access to this information  that the government routinely overclassifies. One of the things they suggested over 30 years ago and we still haven't done is that the Senate should get involved, and the Congress should get involved in legislating on classification.&quot; 

Harper mentioned a couple of bills to reform government secrecy that had been introduced in the last Congress but died in committee. She hopes they will get reintroduced.

=== Claims of national security ===

Graves asked about &quot;[[w:State secrets privilege|state secrets privilege]]&quot;. Stern said that it severely limits the ability of anyone to question a claim of national security. &quot;We are seeing the Trump administration frequently abuse the national security flag ... whenever it wants to make exceptions to the law.&quot; Occasionally a media outlet will write a story or an editorial expressing concern about such claims, but there's no follow-up reporting. 

Stern noted that [[w:Donald Trump–TikTok controversy|TikTok, an app hosting millions of posters, was banned]] based on admittedly hypothetical threats that China might use it to spy on Americans. Nothing was ever proven, &quot;and now suddenly Donald Trump has decided he doesn't want to ban TikTok anymore, because he sees a route to make money off of it, and no one's concerned about national security.&quot; 

Stern mentioned the [[w:2022–2023 Pentagon document leaks|discord leaks a couple years ago]]. It was a big story with plenty of reporting for two days that quoted &quot;administration officials saying, 'The sky is falling. This is a major threat to national security. ... [P]eople are in danger for their lives.' ... Six months later, the sky is still there, and nothing has happened that these people predicted. There's no follow-up reporting.&quot;

== The role of the media in sustaining the system of political corruption == 

Graves asked about the role of the media in sustaining the system of political corruption that threaten us and international security. Stern said, 

{{quote|One thing that the last few weeks have put to rest is the myth that billionaires and major conglomerates with interests far beyond the media or their news holdings can possibly run news outlets without impacting the direction of coverage -- without either directly or indirectly causing reporters to shy away from stories that might upset either business or political connections. ... [W]hen you had a president who was willing to threaten their business interests, ... they caved immediately. They settled defensible cases. 

The case ABC settled was very defensible. ... When I was practicing law, I defended an almost identical case involving a college professor who had been accused of sexual assault. A newspaper reported he had been accused of rape. A judge threw that out, saying essentially the terms are interchangeable. How were you damaged? Find me someone who was willing to do business with an accused sexual assailant but drew the line at an accused rapist. That person doesn't exist. There are no damages. This is a frivolous case.

... CBS is currently mediating over editing of a video interview that is even more baseless. You will not find a First Amendement law expert in the world who is not wearing a Donald Trump lapel pin who is going to tell you that that case has any legal ground whatsoever. And it's pretty much an open secret, not even a secret, that the only reason CBS is even thinking about settling this case is because it wants the Trump administration to approve its merger. Essentially they are using the legal system to launder what would otherwise be called bribes, but which are okay as long as a judge signs off on it. 

... Despite all the brilliant journalists who work for corporate media outlets -- and I'm not looking to knock anyone ... ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]'', ''[[w:The Washington Post|Washington Post]]'', ABC, CBS, they all have incredible journalists working for them. But the end product is not in the hands of those individuals. How much any particular story gets headline news treatment versus gets burried. That's not in the hands of those individuals.

... I think it's really time for people who value well reported, independent, aggressive, adversarial journalism to support independent news outlets, nonprofit news outlets. Nonprofits aren't a perfect solution. You're still subject to the whims of donors.}}

Harper added that the money from the ABC settlement was reportedly &quot;going to Trump's presidential library. But this isn't technically true. It was going to a private presidential foundation and museum, ... and those are private, effectively corporate entities with basically no campaign contribution limits ... . It's an excellent way and an excellent plact to put dark money. ... [I]t's being reported as going to something that's going to somehow enrich the public understanding of the Trump Presidency, which, of course, it won't.&quot;

== Local news ==

Stern encourages people to &quot;subscribe to their local papers. We've got [[w:news deserts|news deserts]] all over this country.&quot; 

Graves added that &quot;local&quot; should mean locally owned, not part of a major national chain. Stern agreed, saying that's what he meant by &quot;local&quot;. Graves noted that was &quot;not obvious. [[Vulture capitalists destroying newspapers|''The Denver Post'' is not a local paper anymore.]]&quot; Seth replied, &quot;You're exactly right.&quot;

== Previous interview with Freedom of the Press Foundation == 

Graves previously interviewed Kirsten McCudden, Vice President of 
Editorial of Freedom of the Press Foundation &lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Kirstin McCudden--&gt;{{cite Q|Q134341766}}&lt;/ref&gt; not quite two years ago on 
2023-07-18.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--  Freedom of the Press Foundation works to improve news and democracy--&gt;{{cite Q|Q134341296}}--&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;

== The need for media reform to improve democracy == 

This article is part of [[:category:Media reform to improve democracy]]. We describe here briefly the motivation for this series.

[[Great American Paradox|One major contributor to the dominant position of the US in the international political economy]] today may have been the [[w:Postal Service Act|US Postal Service Act of 1792]]. Under that act, newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. [[w:Alexis de Tocqueville|Alexis de Tocqueville]], who visited the relatively young United States of America in 1831, wrote, “There is scarcely a hamlet that does not have its own newspaper.”&lt;ref&gt;Tocqueville (1835, p. 93).&lt;/ref&gt; McChesney and Nichols estimated that these newspaper subsidies were roughly 0.21 percent of national income (Gross Domestic Project, GDP) in 1841.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2010, pp. 310-311, note 88).&lt;/ref&gt;

At that time, the US probably led the world by far in the number of independent newspaper publishers per capita or per million population. This encouraged literacy and limited political corruption, both of which contributed to making the US a leader in the rate of growth in average annual income (Gross Domestic Product, GDP, per capita). Corruption was also limited by the inability of a small number of publishers to dominate political discourse.

That began to change in the 1850s and 1860s with the introduction of high speed rotary presses, which increased the capital required to start a newspaper.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015, p. 80).&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1887 [[w:William Randolph Hearst|William Randolph Hearst]] took over management of his father’s ''[[w:San Francisco Examiner|San Francisco Examiner]]''. His success there gave him an appetite for building a newspaper chain. His 1895 purchase of the ''[[w:New York Morning Journal|New York Morning Journal]]'' gave him a second newspaper. By the mid-1920s, he owned 28 newspapers. Consolidation of ownership of the media became easier with the introduction of broadcasting and even easier with the Internet.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015). See also Wikiversity, “[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]” and “[[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]]“.&lt;/ref&gt; [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|This consolidation seems to be increasing political polarization and violence worldwide]], threatening democracy itself.

=== The threat from loss of newspapers ===

A previous ''Media &amp; Democracy'' interview with Arizona State University accounting professor Roger White on &quot;[[Local newspapers limit malfeasance]]&quot; describes problems that increase as the quality and quantity of news declines and ownership and control of the media become more highly concentrated: Major media too often deflect the public's attention from political corruption enabled by poor media. This too often contributes to other problems like [[w:Scapegoating|scapegoating]] [[w:Immigration|immigrants]] and attacking [[w:Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, equity, and inclusion]] (DEI) while also facilitating increases in pollution, the cost of borrowing, political polarization and violence, and decreases in workplace safety. More on this is included in other interviews in this ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series available on Wikiversity under [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

An important quantitative analysis of the problems associated with deficiencies in news is Neff and Pickard (2024). They analyzed data on media funding and democracy in 33 countries. The US has been rated as a &quot;flawed democracy&quot; according to the [[w:Economist Democracy Index|Economist Democracy Index]] and spends substantially less per capita on media compared to the world's leading democracies in Scandinavia and Commonweath countries. They note that commercial media focus primarily on people with money, while publicly-funded media try harder to serve everyone. Public funding is more strongly correlated with democracy than private funding. This recommends increasing public funding for media as a means of strengthening democracy.

John|Richard John]] by Spencer Graves about media concentration and how that invites political corruption]]

[[w:Columbia University|Columbia University]] History Professor [[w:Richard R. John|Richard R. John]] discusses the business of communications in the US focusing especially problems stemming from media concentration. Professor John is the author of two books and an editor of eight others related to the business of media and democracy. His two books are:
* (1995) ''Spreading the News: The American Postal System from Franklin to Morse''.&lt;ref&gt;John (1995).&lt;/ref&gt;
* (2010) ''Network Nation: Inventing American Telecommunications''.&lt;ref&gt;John (2010).&lt;/ref&gt;

More recently, he edited 

* with Silberstein-Loeb (2015) ''Making News: The Political Economy of Journalism in Britain and America from the Glorious Revolution to the Internet''. 
* with Phillip-Fein (2016) ''Capital Gains: Business and Politics in Twentieth-Century America''.&lt;ref&gt;His other edited volumes include Tedlow and John (1986), and John (2001, 2006, 2012).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Prof. John discusses his work with Spencer Graves.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

== US led the world in numbers of independent newspaper publishers in the nineteenth century == 

Graves said he had seen claims that in the first half of the nineteenth century the US had more independent newspaper publishers than at any other time or place in human history, at least according to Professor John's book with Silberstein-Loeb (2015) on ''The Political Economy of Journalism in Britain and America from the Glorious Revolution to the Internet''. He agreed: &quot;We had an informational environment that fostered decentralization, encouraged the circulation of newspapers to a far flung citizenry with subsidies ... . [I]t was an informational environment in which there were a lot of voices. It was an informational environment in which the total volume of information, in this case printed newspapers, magazines, was much greater than in other countries, and that was understood by Alexis de Tocqueville and others to be a positive good.&quot; 

Graves asked where he might find numbers to support those claims. Professor John recommended his 1995 book on the early American post office.&lt;ref&gt;John (1995).&lt;/ref&gt;

== The media in the US, UK and Germany between the wars == 

When asked to describe the differences between the US, Germany and Britain during the Great Depression and World War II, Professor John began by noting that the information infrastructure in the US was more decentralized. New York City and Chicago were very important, and there was a sharp divide between newspapers and radio. In Great Britain, the BBC had not been a leader in news before the Second World War, and the newspaper press was more consolidated. 

For Germany, Heidi J.S. Tworek,&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Heidi J.S. Tworek--&gt;{{cite Q|Q134875995}}&lt;/ref&gt; a fine historian in British Columbia, has written about Germany under Weimar. In the 1920, government administrators wanted to limit what they perceived to be speech that was outside the range of public discourse, and they centralized radio further than it was in the US. This made it easy for Hitler to take it over. 

There were clear differences. The US was the most decentralized. By principle, Germany was in the middle. Britain as most centralized. However, in practice, the German infrastructure was the most fragile, easiest to manipulate.

== Trump ==

When asked to describe President Trump's relations with the media, Professor John replied, 

{{quote|He's a master of online media. He's like Franklin Roosevelt in that regard with radio or Teddy Roosevelt with newspapers and and photography. He has the rhythms. The cadence of his speech is closely attuned to the affordances of what used to be called [[w:Twitter|Twitter, now X]]. He now has his own social network, a platform, [[w:Truth Social|Truth Social]]. And he recognizes that the most effective online communication is often [[w:Agonism|agonistic]]. It's often critical. It's often very opinionated, very sharply worded. And that has enabled him to dominate many a news cycle.}} 

When asked to describe the settlement of President Trump's lawsuits against Meta / Facebook, Professor John replied, &quot;I'm not going to speak on those issues specifically. I don't know enough about them.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;This question about Trump's lawsuits against Meta is in the companion video but not the podcast. See also a comment in &quot;Discussion&quot; below.&lt;/ref&gt;

== Mayflower and Fairness Doctrines == 

Professor John discussed the [[w:Mayflower doctrine|Mayflower doctrine]],&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--The Mayflower Broadcasting Corporation--&gt;{{cite Q|Q134879570}}&lt;/ref&gt; published by the FCC 1941-01-16, after the second world war began but before the US became an official party. This doctrine prohibited radio stations from taking political positions themselves. The FCC hoped thereby to officially encourage the airing of a broad range of opinions without allowing media owners to dominate political discourse. 

At that time, radio was a powerful new medium that had already transformed Germany and was transforming Britain. President Roosevelt wanted it to be a conduit for news and not opinion. 

After the war, hearings were held in 1948 on the [[w:Mayflower doctrine|Mayflower doctrine]]. This led to a decision in 1949 to repeal that doctrine. Later that year it was replace by the [[w:Fairness doctrine|Fairness doctrine]], which was itself repealed in the late 1980s. 

Since that time there has been no effort to police the boundaries of the airwaves. Some say that's good. However, one of the consequences is that it has become very hard to find any legal recourse against those broadcasters, who are challenging norms in ways that can be deleterious to the project of the nation.

== Local News ==

Graves noted that Gao et al. (2018) reported that when local newspapers have died, the cost of local government has increased with increases in head count, executive compensation and the cost of borrowing as the bond rating tended to decline. Those effects lead to increased costs averaging $85 per human per year, which is roughly 0.13 percent of [[w:Gross domestic product|Gross domestic product]] (GDP). 

Professor John was asked for his comment. He said, &quot;[[w:Paul Starr|Paul Starr]], a sociologist at Princeton, argued some time ago that if you weaken local news coverage, if you weaken reporting on state houses and city councils, you are inviting political corruption. I think that's a pretty durable generalization.&quot; 

Graves then noted that McChesney and Nichols have recommended 0.15 percent of GDP be distributed to local news nonprofits with a firewall to prevent political interference and asked for Professor John's comment. He replied, 

{{quote|This is a tricky question. [McChesney and Nichols] have done good work. They are committed to a particular non-commercial or anti-commercial vision of the media ecology. I don't share that normative assumption. I think that media have been commercially based in the United States from the eighteenth century to the present. It was commercially based in Britain from the seventeenth century to the present, and, in fact, advertising can serve as a counterweight to tight control. But I do believe that we're at a moment in time when support for local news ... would be beneficial not only to public discourse, but it would also improve the functioning of American institutions.}}

Graves then noted that he had recently interviewed [[Dean Starkman and the watchdog that didn't bark|Dean Starkman]], who makes a distinction between accountability and access journalism. He asked for Professor John's comment. John replied, 

{{quote|One of my colleagues, [[w:Todd Gitlin|Todd Gitlin]], used to say that journalists should never interview. They should never curry favor, because if they do, they're inevitably going to see the world through the point of view of whoever it is they're in touch with. I think that's true for some journalists. ... I think it's important that [other journalists] cultivate access, that they're accessible in times of crisis. ... So access journalism has its place.}}

== The need for media reform to improve democracy ==

[[Great American Paradox|One major contributor to the dominant position of the US in the international political economy]] today may have been the [[w:Postal Service Act|US Postal Service Act of 1792]].

The US has been rated as a &quot;flawed democracy&quot; according to the [[w:Economist Democracy Index|Economist Democracy Index]] and spends substantially less per capita on media compared to the world's leading democracies in Scandinavia and Commonweath countries. They note that commercial media focus primarily on people with money, while publicly-funded media try harder to serve everyone. Public funding is more strongly correlated with democracy than private funding. This recommends increasing public funding for media as a means of strengthening democracy.

Regarding Trump's lawsuits against Meta, a naive reading of [[w:Section 230|Section 230 of Title 47 of the US Code]] would give Meta a blanked immunity from lawsuits over the content. However, that may not be accurate. The Wikipedia [[w:Lawsuits involving Meta Platforms|Lawsuits involving Meta Platforms]], accessed 2025-06-11, mentions a suit filed 2019-03-28 by the [[w:United States Department of Housing and Urban Development|US Department of Housing and Urban Development]] (HUD) against Facebook over housing discrimination by allowing advertisers to restrict who can see their ads based on certain characteristics, thus violating the federal Fair Housing Act. Facebook agreed to change their  system for housing ads and pay $115,000 in penalties, the maximum penalty under the FHA.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Meta settles lawsuit with Justice Department over ad-serving algorithms |url=https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/21/meta-settles-lawsuit-with-justice-department-over-ad-serving-algorithms/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=TechCrunch |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Spencer Graves&lt;ref name=sg&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; summarizes lessons for the future from the first 37 episodes of the [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media &amp; Democracy]] series,&lt;ref name=M&amp;D/&gt; syndicated for the [[w:Pacifica Foundation|Pacifica Radio]]&lt;ref name=Pacifica/&gt; [[w:List of Pacifica Radio stations and affiliates|Network]].&lt;ref name=PacificaList/&gt; Twenty-nine-minute podcasts of all episodes and videos of most are available with the descriptions of each episode. The series has been fortnightly since 2024-07-30. Graves is a Program Associate with [[w:KKFI|KKFI]]. 

== Approximate transcript of the video ==

Welcome to Media and Democracy. I'm Spencer Graves with [[w:KKFI|KKFI]], [[w:Kansas City metropolitan area|Kansas City]] [[w:Community radio|Community Radio]]. You are about to hear a summary of what I think have been the most important things covered in (a) the 37 episodes of ''Media &amp; Democracy'' that I have produced so far and (b) over a decade of studying the research literature on this issue before that.

The views you are about to hear are mine and of the sources that I cite, and not of this radio station.

If the research summarized herein is replicable as described, then we can reverse the current trend towards increasing political polarization and violence and make progress much easier on virtually every other major issue facing humanity today.

A key observation that makes this possible is that progress on every substantive issue that I have studied is blocked because every countermeasure threatens someone with substantive control over the money or the medium.

=== The media and human cognition === 

To understand the role of the media in political economy, I feel a need to mention key results in human cognition. 

First, 

* Everything we think we know is coded in systems of connections between neurons in our brains. 
* These systems are more unique than fingerprints, and evolve over time.
* The words we use do not mean the same thing 
	- to two different humans, 
	- nor to the same human at two different points in time.

We can overcome differences of opinion and war and build a better world for all by teaching ourselves how to 
* talk
* politics, 
* calmly, 
* with respect and humility, 
* in a friendly, supportive manner, 
* with others with whom we may vehemently disagree, 

because the alternative may be killing people over misunderstandings.

This understanding, I believe, can help all of us understand how others believe different from us, because they find different media credible.

We can overcome some of these barriers by accepting others where they are and by trying to engage them in non-threatening civil discourse.&lt;ref&gt;Graves (2025).&lt;/ref&gt; 

=== Behavioral economics === 

Virtually everyone thinks they know more than they do.&lt;ref&gt;Research on this is summarized in the Wikipedia articles on [[w:Overconfidence effect|Overconfidence effect]] and the [[w:Dunning–Kruger effect|Dunning–Kruger effect]]. The latter documents the difference between self perception and actual performance: The self perceptions of low achievers tend to be much higher than their actual performance, and this difference is smaller for high achievers and is slightly reversed for some tasks, though not by much.&lt;/ref&gt; 

This is a key result in a relatively new field called [[w:Behavioral economics|behavioral economics]] in the intersection between [[w:Human behavior|human behavior]] and [[w:Economics|economics]].

[[w:Daniel Kahneman| Daniel Kahneman]] won the 2002 [[w:Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences|Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics]], even though he was not an economist: He was a research psychologist. He won the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for his leadership in developing this new subfield in the intersection between the Human Behavior and Economics.&lt;ref&gt;Nobel Prize Committee (2002).&lt;/ref&gt;

Major media exploit this feature of human cognition to please those who control most of the money for the media.

Over two years ago, I published an article on Wikiversity on &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]], summarizing the research that I had found to that point on the role of the media in political economy, and recommending research -- experiments -- to quantify the extent to which those research results can actually be replicated.

Those concerns about the media also led me to become the primary content producer for Radio Active Magazine,&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Radio Active Magazine--&gt;{{cite Q|Q57451712}}&lt;/ref&gt; a weekly half-hour, magazine-style radio program on [[w:KKFI|KKFI]] about [[w:Activism|activists]]. Since July 30 of last year, Radio Active Magazine has been alternating between local content and national and international experts on the increase in political polarization and violence, and what they think should be done about it. The episodes featuring experts are also distributed as the fortnightly ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series syndicated for the Pacifica Radio Network and made available on Wikiversity under [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]], which supports moderated discussions of the issues raised in each episode.

The most important thing I think I have gotten from all this work is solid documentation of the value of ''accountability journalism'' relative to ''[[w:access journalism|access journalism]]'': 

* ''Accountability journalism'' is disseminating information that people with power do not want known.
* ''Access journalism'', by contrast, is giving people with power access to an audience to disseminate information they do want known.

On June 12 earlier this year, I interviewed [[How news impacts democracy per USD Communications Professor Nik Usher|University of San Diego journalism professor Nik Usher]]. With a co-author, they tallied all of the federal prosecutions for political corruption in each of the 94 US federal court districts between 2003 and 2019. They found on average 1.4 more prosecutions for political corruption per year per member of [[w:Institute for Nonprofit News|INN]] in each [[w:Federal judiciary of the United States|US federal court district]] the previous year. During that period, the number of journalists in the US fell by roughly a factor of 3, between 60 and 70 percent, with no statistically significant impact on federal prosecutions for political corruption.&lt;ref&gt;Usher and Kim-Leffingwell (2022).&lt;/ref&gt; 

You and I benefit, we all benefit, from accountability journalism that we have never read nor even heard of as long as enough others got those reports and took effective action to limit malfeasance.

Watchdogs protect the people who feed them.

For-profit media protect the major corporations, who are the only people who really count in the United States of America today.&lt;ref&gt;There is a long international  tradition on &quot;[[w:Corporate personhood|Corporate personhood]]. In the US, this dates from &quot;A headnote issued by the court reporter in the 1886 Supreme Court case ''[[w:Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co.|Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co.]]''. It has since been expanded many times in both statutes and Supreme Court decisions. For example, the [[w:Patriot Act|Patriot Act]] of 2001 makes &quot;[[w:Providing material support for terrorism|Providing material support for terrorism]] a felony punishable by life in prison, &quot;if the death of any person results,&quot; where 'the term “person” means any individual or entity capable of holding a legal or beneficial interest in property'. Under ''[[w:Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project|Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project]]'', it is a felony to teach nonviolence to anyone designated as supporting a foreign terrorist organization. Apparently, if the US State Department claims that one business ceased operations as a result of the activities of such a foreign terrorist organization, you can get life in prison for teaching nonviolence to anyone the State Department claims supports said organization -- even if you do not know that the human(s) to whom you taught nonviolence are so designated by the State Department. More well-known is the 2010 Supreme Court decision in ''[[w:Citizens United v. FEC|Citizens United]]'', which confirms that corporations are &quot;people&quot; and money is speech.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Many local news outlets funded by advertisers are cheerleaders for local developers, according to [[Media Reform Coalition challenges anti-democratic media bias in the UK|British journalist and researcher Dan Hind, whom I interviewed just over a month ago]]. [[w:Community radio|community radio]] stations protect their supporters and their communities and might benefit from the research that I have studied.

I feel a need to describe examples.

=== Example: George Santos ===

[[w:George Santos| George Santos]] is a former representative of the [[w:United States House of Representatives|US House of Representatives]]. He was forced to resign in 2023 after numerous reports of questionable claims he had made to get elected. In 2024, he was convicted of identity theft and wire fraud in the [[w:United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York|Eastern District of New York]], which is a leader among US federal court districts for having the most members of the [[w:Institute for Nonprofit News|Institute for Nonprofit News]], or INN.

=== Stadium subsidies === 

Another example: In 2024, April 2, voters in Kansas City rejected, money for sports stadiums.&lt;ref&gt;Lieb (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; 

A few months earlier, I had alerted ''[[w:The Beacon (Kansas City)|The Kansas City Beacon]]'', a local member of INN, to the Wikipedia article on [[w:Stadium subsidy|stadium subsidy]], which cites serious research documenting the lack of benefits for the local economy from stadium subsidies. ''The Beacon'' published stories on that, which were picked up by other news outlets. I believe the coverage in the beacon probably contributed to the electoral defeat of that stadium subsidy -- and to improving the general welfare of the bottom 99% of the Kansas City population.

In general, access journalism is cheap as long as you never contradict any leading establishment figure nor ask questions they do not want to answer. 

''Accountability journalism'' is expensive: It costs money to check facts, and for-profit media know they could lose money by offending a major advertiser, even if they had all their facts straight.

However, if one news agency does it, like a member of INN, for-profit media are often forced to carry it or lose audience. 

Every media organization sells changes in audience behaviors to the people who give them money. If they lose their audience, they have nothing to sell.

=== ''The Kansas City Defender'' === 

Another example: ''[[w:The Kansas City Defender|The Kansas City Defender]]'': 

Kansas City has two members of the [[w:Institute for Nonprofit News|Institute for Nonprofit News]]: ''The Beacon'' and ''The Kansas City Defender''. The latter is an online news outlet founded by a young [[w:African American|African American]].&lt;ref&gt;In addition to ''The Beacon'' and ''The Kansas City Defender'', the &lt;!--Kansas City Northeast News--&gt;{{cite Q|Q55667687}} is a nonprofit serving Northeast Kansas City. However, as of 2025-11-11, they are not listed as a member of INN and are not listed in the &lt;!--Local Journalism Directory--&gt;{{cite Q|Q136763718}}, maintained by the &lt;!--Media and Democracy Project--&gt;{{cite Q|Q136327862}}. The ''Northeast News'' only became a nonprofit in May of 2022. Their website says they comply with INN's membership standards.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Roughly 3 years ago, ''The Kansas City Defender'' published a report about missing women along the [[w:Prospect Avenue (Kansas City, Missouri)|Prospect Corridor]], a major thoroughfare in a traditionally red-lined African American part of Kansas City, Missouri. ''The Defender'' was vigorously denounced for irresponsible journalism by the chief of police, other local public officials, and news outlets across the nation.

Two weeks later, a woman dressed in trash bags was running down the street, knocking on doors, crying for help. An hour later, the owner of the house in which she had been imprisoned was arrested and charged with kidnapping and raping multiple women. In 2024, a body was found, and he was charged with murder. Without the Kansas City Defender, that poor woman might still have escaped, and that serial rapist and murderer might still have been arrested. But ''The Defender'' forced law enforcement and politicians to consider more seriously the charges of poor police protection in that part of Kansas City.

Now let me talk about news deserts.

=== News Deserts === 

There's a growing body of research describing what happens when local newspapers die. 

A 2018 research report by Gao et al. reported that the death of a local newspaper was followed by … increases in local tax revenue, averaging $85 per human per year.&lt;ref name = Gao2019&gt;Gao et al. (2018).&lt;/ref&gt; That $85 was roughly 13 hundredths of a percent of the 2019 US GDP. That's mentioned in the 2025-07-17 interview with [[Democratic delusions: Fix the media to fix democracy|Natalie Fenton about her new book, ''Democratic Delusions, How the Media Hollows out democracy and What We Can Do About It'']].

One of the most spectacular example of the cost of a news desert is the [[w:City of Bell scandal|Scandal of Bell, California]]. Their local newspaper died around 1999. Roughly a decade later the city was nearly bankrupt in spite of having property tax rates among the highest in the nation. The city manager, it turns out, had a compensation package worth $1.5 million a year, well over double that of the President of the United States. And other senior city officials were similarly well-remunerated. Some of the city officials went to jail over that. But it need not have happened if they had a local newspaper.&lt;ref&gt;There is also a growing body of research on the threats from loss of local newspapers: Malfeasance also increases in business as pollution and workplace accidents increase and the cost of capital, because investors know their money is not as secure without a local newspaper. That leads to a reduction in investments in new products, services and processes -- slowing economic growth. See &quot;[[Local newspapers limit malfeasance]]&quot;, esp. Kim et al. (2021). And executive compensation in increases in nonprofits, so less of what people donate goes to the charitable purpose for which they donated, according to Felix et al. (2024). Also, voter participation and split-ticket voting decline, per Benton (2019) and other references discussed in &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;. And the ultra-right does better, as noted in [[News from Germany 1900-1945 and implications for today]] and the section on &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government#Previous research|Previous research]]&quot; in the Wikiversity article on &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;. By contrast, Neff and Pickard (2024) document that the world's leading democracies devote between 0.05 and 0.25 percent of GDP to government funding for media.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Adjusted for inflation, 0.13 percent of GDP is roughly $120 per human per year today. With over 300 million humans in the U.S, that is roughly $40 billion nationwide. 

Other research documents that when a local newspaper dies pollution, workplace accidents, and cost of capital increases, and innovations declined for local businesses. When innovation declines, economic growth also tends to decline, jeopardizing the future of the nation. Nonprofit executive compensation also increases, so less of what you donate goes to the charitable purpose for which you donated, as documented in my [[Local newspapers limit malfeasance|February 25 interview with Arizona State Accounting Professor Richard White]]. Similarly, voter participation declines, and the far right does better, as documented in my [[News from Germany 1900-1945 and implications for today|June 8th interview with University of British Columbia professor Heidi Tworek]], author of ''News from Germany, the competition to control world communications, 1900-1945''.

=== Fox === 

Let me talk about [[w:Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]. My interview with City University of New York journalism professor Reece Peck last August 1 documents how during the [[w:Great Recession|Great Recession]] that began in 2007, Fox convinced many of its audience that President [[w:Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]]'s [[w:New Deal|New Deal]] actually made the [[w:Great Depression|Great Depression]] worse, not better.

That message helped prevent the US Congress from bailing out the fraud victims of that financial crisis. However, Congress agreed that money had to be injected back into the economy to avoid a repeat of the Great Depression.

So major banks that were too big to fail before the crisis were even bigger afterwards, and many financial executives that had created that crisis, many of whom should probably have been prosecuted for fraud instead got multi-million dollar bonuses at taxpayer expense.&lt;ref&gt;Acemoglu and Johnson (2023, ch. 3).&lt;/ref&gt;

=== US GDP per capita, Franklin Roosevelt, and war === 

Let me talk about average annual income, GDP per capita. [[US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita|I've analyzed data on that from 1790 to 2024]]. From 1790 to 1929, the GDP per capita increased at a rate of average about 1.5 percent per year. Then it fell like a rock at over 8% for the four years of the [[w:Presidency of Herbert Hoover|Herbert Hoover administration]]. Then it took off like a rocket at roughly 8% per year during the 12 years of the [[w:Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt administration]]. Since the end of World War II, after a post-World War II recession that lasted only a couple of years, the US economy has grown on average 2% per year.

The data I found on the Franklin Roosevelt administration said that Roosevelt administration actually spent the money required to put humans back to work, and then win World War II with the highest effective tax rates on the ultra-wealthy in US history and with [[w:Office of Price Administration|wage and price controls during World War II]], which largely eliminated price gouging by major businesses that had generated inflation and stifled economic growth in previous wars.

During that period, the US had by far the highest rate of increase in average annual income, GDP per capita, adjusted for inflation, of any comparable period in US history, before or since, with only nominal inflation. And inequality also fell dramatically during that period, and only started to increase again around the time that [[w:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]] became president.

By comparison, there have been 3 other major wars in US history. The [[w:War of 1812|War of 1812]], the [[w:American Civil War|Civil War]], and [[w:World War I|World War I]]. All had substantial inflation with economic growth that did not differ substantially from the 1.5% per year that lifted the US from a little over $1,000 per human per year in 1790, adjusted for inflation, to the US's relatively dominant position in the international political economy. 

The Franklin Roosevelt administration, by contrast, averaged 6% per year in GDP per capita growth between 1933 and 1939, and over 10% during World War II. The US has averaged roughly 2% per year since then, showing how incredibly different the Franklin Roosevelt administration was from the rest of US history. 

The special circumstances of the Great Depression and World War II gave Franklin Roosevelt the political support needed to spend the money to put people back to work, to end this Depression, and then to win the Second World War.

This suggests to me that ''we can do this again'': We only need media that helps convince more humans that it is possible, and that indeed we need to tax the ultra-wealthy in proportion to the benefits they receive from government and do other things to prevent price gouging by major corporations.

The major corporate media are watchdogs protecting the people who feed them. And they do not want you know about things like this.

=== Two primary recommendations === 

I have two primary recommendations.

First, we need citizen-directed subsidies for local news nonprofits with a firewall to prevent political interference in the content, supporting organizations like community radio and members of the Institute for Nonprofit News.&lt;ref&gt;There is a body of evidence that says that most humans trust local news more than non-local sources. See the discussion of news deserts above.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Second, we need to migrate to non-commercial social media like Blue Sky, Mastodon, and PeerTube that do not make money amplifying political polarization and violence.&lt;ref&gt;See the discussion below of the interview with Facebook whistlblower Frances Haugen.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Regarding the first, [[The Great American Paradox|the US Postal Service Act of 1792 provided postal subsidies enacted by the second US Congress and signed by President Washington]] during his first term arguably made major contributions to the long-term sustained growth in the US economy, which I mentioned earlier. Under that act newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first-class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. 

McChesney and Nichols estimated that in 1840 those subsidies were roughly 0.21 percent of GDP.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2010, pp. 310-311, note 88).&lt;/ref&gt; That's roughly $64 billion in today's money, or $190 per human per year.

As a result of that act the US had more independent newspaper publishers per million population in the first half of the 19th century than probably at any other time or place in human history.&lt;ref&gt;The claim that the US led the world in independent newspaper publishers in discussed in &quot;[[Media concentration per Columbia History Professor Richard John]]&quot; and John (1995), in particular. [[w:Alexis de Tocqueville|Alexis de Tocqueville]], who visited the relatively young United States of America in 1831, wrote, “There is scarcely a hamlet that does not have its own newspaper.” See Tocqueville (1835, p. 93).&lt;/ref&gt; That diversity of newspapers encouraged literacy and limited political corruption and created a political culture that I believe has been a major driver in the economic growth that has given the US its current leadership position in the international political economy. It helped the US stay together and grow, while other countries like contemporary New Spain, then Mexico, fractured, shrank, and stagnated economically.&lt;ref&gt;That diversity of newspaper publishers began to shrink in the 1850s with technology changes that increased the capital required to start a newspaper (John and Silberstein-Loeb, 2015, p. 80). That was followed by consolidation of ownership of newspapers led by [[w:William Randolph Hearst|William Randolph Hearst]]. The introduction of broadcasting made consolidation of ownership easier; John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015). See also Wikiversity, “[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]” and “[[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]]“. [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|That consolidation seems to be increasing political polarization and violence worldwide]], threatening democracy itself, as documented with the Wikiversity article on &quot;[[Evolution of political polarization in the US Congress]]&quot; (accessed 2025-11-11), which contains plots of data on the evolution of political polarization in the US Congress 1879-2023.&lt;/ref&gt;

McChesney and Nichols recommended an internet-savvy reincarnation of the newspaper subsidies that the US had 200 years ago. They recommended distributing 0.15 percent of GDP to local news nonprofits via local elections to provide a firewall to prevent political interference in the content.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2021, 2022).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Many municipalities can raise that kind of money by committing roughly 3% of their budget to subsidize local news nonprofits with a firewall that effectively prevents, as I said, political interference in the content.&lt;ref&gt;Roughly 1 percent of the US workforce are accountants and auditors. Roughly 2 percent of GDP is devoted to advertising. If local governments are comparable to the overall economy,accounting, advertising, and public relations may easily exceed 3% of their budget. More on this appears in the Wikiversity article on [[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]].&lt;/ref&gt;

If this has an impact anywhere close to what is documented in the research that I cited above, it will substantially improve the prospects for broadly shared economic growth, while also reducing political polarization and violence and the prospects for war.

Victor Picard, whom I interviewed December 13 of last year, recommends directing such subsidies to local multimedia centers managed perhaps by boards selected at random. These multimedia centers might help fund so-called documenters who observe public meetings and write notes that can be used by professional journalists in reports disseminated to a wider audience. Such multimedia centers might include journalism classes at local high schools and colleges, that may encourage migration to non-commercial social media, thereby also reducing teen suicides and political polarization and violence.

=== Other interviews === 

I feel a need to mention 5 other interviews.

* August 19 of last year, I interviewed [[Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says|Facebook whistleblower Francis Haugen]], who said that the shortest path to a click is anger or hate. Facebook executives had agreed that Facebook contributed to teen suicides and ethnic violence in several countries, including the [[w:Rohingya genocide|genocide of Rohingyan Muslims]] in Myanmar. Haugen was in charge of a department asked to reduce this problem. Then Facebook executives decided that if she were effective, it would reduce their profits. So they eliminated the department, and she became a whistleblower.

* July 30 of last year, [[Dean Baker on Internet companies threatening democracy internationally and how to fix that|Dean Baker, a co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, recommended changing Section 230 of Title 47 of the US Code]], which currently says that internet companies are not liable for content. Baker wants to change that so that internet companies are liable for content from which they make money boosting like print and broadcast media. Under the Supreme Court decision in ''[[w:New York Times Co. v. Sullivan|New York Times v. Sullivan]]'' (1964), but they would still be exempt when they are acting like common carriers, like a telephone company.

* [[Evidence-informed public policy|Last July 31, Nick Hart, President and CEO of the Data Foundation]], discussed evidence-based public policy. He noted that President Trump in his first term signed bipartisan legislation requiring evidence-based public policy for decisions of the United States Congress. However, apparently, politicians are only allowed to consider evidence that has been broadly discussed by the major media. Otherwise, the major media can demonize them, like, what happened to the two senators who voted against the [[w:Gulf of Tonkin Resolution|Gulf of Tonkin Resolution]] in 1964. Research currently says that [[w:Immigration|immigrants benefit both the sending and the receiving countries]]. Some research on [[w:Sanctuary city|sanctuary cities]] find no difference between sanctuary and non-sanctuary cities. Other research insists that sanctuary cities actually have less crime and higher median incomes. The current [[w:Immigration policy of the second Trump administration|anti-immigrant campaign of the Trump administration]], in my judgment, is primarily the product of a conspiracy of silence by the major media, even the so-called liberal media, as well as well as the conservative media, prior to last November's election. There may have been some discussion of these points in some so-called liberal media outlets since last November, but those discussions have so far not been enough to allow that research to be seriously considered in Congress: The evidence is not sufficiently widely known to allow the Congress to actually consider it.

* On August 28th I interviewed [[The role of the media in conflict|Doug Samuelson, who knows that before the first attack in a war, the different parties are polarized by their different media]]. He says he sometimes compares, for example, ''[[w:The New Republic|The New Republic]]'', known for its intellectual rigor and left-leaning political views, with the ''[[w:National Review|National Review]]'', an American conservative editorial magazine. Anything they agreed on was probably accurate. Disagreements clearly identified the spin. Primary drivers of any major conflict seem to be differences in the media that the different parties to conflict find credible. For example, supporters of Israel and supporters of Palestinians tend to find different media credible. Mira Sukharov, a Canadian Jew and professor of political science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada,&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!-- Mira Sukharov--&gt;{{cite Q|Q136764001}}&lt;/ref&gt; surveyed American Jews on Zionism: 58% self-reported as Zionists. 72% believed in a Jewish and democratic state. When asked if they believed in privileging Jews over non-Jews in Israel. 10% said yes, while 69% said no.&lt;ref&gt;Sucharov and Graves (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; Few supporters of Israel, especially during the current war, have any awareness of the thousands of Palestinians, including hundreds of children, who have been routinely held for years without charges in Israeli prisons. Few supporters of Israel have any awareness of the [[w:Human rights violations against Palestinians by Israel|routine destruction or confiscation of Palestinian property by Israeli settlers protected by the Israeli military]]. Most of the media that supporters of Israel find credible rarely, if ever, report on such, but such is widely known among supporters of the Palestinians. Student protesters supporting the Palestinians see many reports of such in their social media feeds, which are largely suppressed by the major media in the United States. The major media coverage of such protests rarely mention the need to support the right of people peaceably to assemble, as supposedly secured by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Supporters of Israel and supporters of Palestinians each have a long list of legitimate grievances against the other, but fail to understand how some of their actions have motivated the actions they deplore in their opposition.

* Just over a month ago, [[Media Reform Coalition challenges anti-democratic media bias in the UK|I interviewed British journalist and researcher Dan Hind on the activities of the Media Reform Coalition]], which challenges anti-democratic bias in the UK. He claimed that before the US-led invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, elites in both the US and UK, the UK, told media executives that we were going to invade, and their job was to get the public behind those invasions. He also said that similar phenomena drove media coverage of the Cold War. I do not know if we can document such an elite conspiracy, but it is clear that major media organizations segment the media market in ways that increase political polarization and violence, and have contributed to the Cold War and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and other questionable actions by the United States government at least since the end of the Korean conflict.

=== Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson === 

Finally, I feel a need to summarize, and to mention last year's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics which went to [[w:Daron Acemoglu|Acemoglu]], [[w:Simon Johnson (economist)|Johnson]], and [[w:James A. Robinson|Robinson]] for their leadership in documenting how the [[w:Industrial Revolution|Industrial Revolution]] began in England, because the English were the first to convince enough commoners that they could innovate and build a better world for themselves and others. In most other times and places in human history, religious authorities and others and, increasingly since the 1600s, media outlets have convinced the vast majority of humanity that they must accept their inferior law in life.&lt;ref&gt;Acemoglu and Robinson (2012).&lt;/ref&gt; 

However, most economic growth, they note, has benefited only a few. To share the wealth more broadly, Acemoglu and Johnson recommend three things.

1. Change the narrative.

2. Build countervailing powers like organized labor. 

3. Develop technical and policy solutions that benefit all.&lt;ref&gt;Acemoglu and Johnson (2023, ch. 11).&lt;/ref&gt;

All three of these points can be helped with nonprofit media, like members of the Institute for Nonprofit News or community radio, because they are less likely to have conflicts of interest in reporting on anything that might offend people with power.

[[File:You can better protect yourself from Big Tech.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2025-12-05 interview with Mark Hurst about how you can better protect yourself from Big Tech]]

Mark Hurst&lt;ref name=Hurst/&gt; discusses how you can better protect yourself from [[w:Big Tech|Big Tech]]. Among other things, Mark produces Techtonic, a one-hour weekly radio show about technology&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Techtonic--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137087746}}&lt;/ref&gt; syndicated for Pacifica and for the [[w:Public Radio Exchange|Public Radio Exchange]] (PRX), a non-profit platform for digital distribution and licensing of radio programs, originally designed for [[w:National Public Radio |National Public Radio]] (NPR). The show originates with [[w:WFMU|WFMU]], a non-commercial, listener-supported, independent community radio station licensed to [[w:East Orange, New Jersey|East Orange, New Jersey]] with studios in [[w:Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]], closer to [[w:Ellis IslandEllis Island]] and the [[w:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]] than [[w:New York City|New York City]].

Topics discussed include Big Tech surveillance, government takeover, other negative features of [[w:Artificial intelligence|artificial intelligence]] (AI) including how the public pays for Big Tech data centers, &quot;Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream&quot;,&lt;ref name=Greenwell&gt;Greenwell (2025).&lt;/ref&gt; protests against smartphones,&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Techtonic episodes--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137110237}}&lt;/ref&gt; and alternatives to gmail, WhatsApp, Google search, Google Docs, Instagram, Windows, macOS, iPhone, and Android, among others.&lt;ref name=GR&gt;&lt;!--Good Reports--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137079965}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

Mark holds bachelor's and master's degrees in [[w:computer science|computer science]] from [[w:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]]. He has published two books: 

* ''Customers Included'' (2015), and 
* ''Bit Literacy'' (2007). 

And he created &quot;Good Reports&quot;, which recommends alternatives to many popular Big Tech platforms. Mark insists that the alternatives he recommends do not show the &quot;shocking lack of respect for users and communities&quot; that is a feature of Big Tech.&lt;ref name=GR/&gt; 

He is interviewed by Spencer Graves.&lt;ref name=Graves&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt;  

== Highlights == 

Graves asked for the most important things Hurst wanted to communicate to Media &amp; Democracy's audience. 

=== Age of extraction ===

Hurst replied, {{quote|

The first step towards improving anything in your technological life is gaining awareness. ... 

[I]n the words of Columbia law professor [[w:Tim Wu|Tim Wu]] in his new book, they are bringing us into ''The Age of Extraction''.&lt;ref&gt;Wu (2025).&lt;/ref&gt; These are extractive, exploitative, deceitful and unethical enterprises. And here I'm talking about Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. There are others you could throw in there as well, but those are the main five.}}

Graves asked about China's investment in [[w:Artificial intelligence|AI]].&lt;ref&gt;Graves' question about China was inspired by Acemogu and Johnson (2023, ch. 10) discussing Chinese use of AI to identify and penalize potential dissidents. For more on this, see the [[#Discussion|Discussion]] section below.&lt;/ref&gt; Hurst replied that the leaders in investing in AI are China and the US through the [[w:Silicon Valley|Silicon Valley]]. The US in particular is investing trillions of dollars in excess of likely returns producing a bubble that has to pop. It could be cataclysmic, suddenly, or it could dissipate gradually, letting the air out of the bubble over a series of years.&lt;ref&gt;Hurst mentioned a cover story in a recent issue of ''[[w:The Economist|The Economist]]'' (2025-11-29), which said that, &quot;China is rapidly pressing ahead in two other frontier technologies, autonomous vehicles and new drugs&quot;, and not as much as in the previously reported areas of &quot;electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels and open-source artificial intelligence.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;

Hurst also said that Wu's ''Age of Extraction'' &quot;talks a lot about, past business cycles where there have been monopolies on technology. ... [T]he people holding the power and influence and money and the shares want to protect their investment. And so, once a company or, in this case, like Big Tech, a cartel, is in a monopolistic position, it ossifies, and there's less and less investment, or innovation. It's just trying to protect its power base. Eventually, the monopoly gets broken up. And that's when the benefits of the technology and the opportunity get spread out into middle-class entrepreneurs who take things in new and creative directions, and we see this explosion of interesting and new ideas. That, I think, could happen with AI.&quot; 

Graves asked for an example of a previous technology that was broken up. Hurst said, {{quote|

When [[w:Breakup of the Bell System|they broke up AT&amp;T]], it led to all sorts of innovation.&lt;ref&gt;Hurst said, &quot;Fiber optics came out of that breakup.&quot; To be precise, the ''demand'' for fiber optics may not have been nearly as great without the breakup of AT&amp;T, but the research and development that ultimately produced optical fibers that were cheaper and better than copper were done elsewhere, especially by scientists and engineers working for [[w:Corning Inc.|Corning Inc.]].&lt;/ref&gt; ... [T]hey liked things just how they were. ... [T]hey won the game, and they didn't want to change it at all. But there were many, many, breakthroughs and innovations, new ideas that came out of the breakup of AT&amp;T.

Tim Wu goes through other examples as well, but the pattern happens again and again that monopolies are really bad for an economy, and when you break them up, a lot of opportunity comes to the people, and a lot of good things come out of that. It comes with breaking up the centralization and concentration of power. That's what we're facing here, is an outrageous concentration of power, and I'm talking about market power, but also political power. You saw at the inauguration earlier this year. Who was standing behind the podium as the current occupant came and assumed his return to that office? It was the CEOs of the big tech companies. ... [T]he destruction of the east wing of the White House was paid for by the big tech companies, because they wanted to, again, show their alignment with the current occupant, and to try to get further favors.}}

=== What to do === 

Graves then asked what Hurst recommends our audience do. He replied, &quot;We need to act individually and collectively. ... I don't think that anybody's choosing this tool over that tool is gonna have any impact at all on the eventual breakup of that concentration of power. The breakup is going to happen from collective action -- voting in better, elected officials. Advocating for better policies. Starting ... and supporting unions where they can. Joining civic groups, knitting together a community fabric that companies like Facebook have done so much to rip apart. ... For your partner, if you have kids, or if you have relatives at any age, it's going to help if you and they get off of these toxic platforms. ... Your mental and emotional health will improve and you will be open to using better alternatives that are not built towards trying to addict you and drive you crazy. So for example, instead of [[w:WhatsApp|WhatsApp]], there is an app called [[w:Signal (software)|Signal]] ... It's free and it does everything that WhatsApp does except that the organization behind Signal is not trying to spy on you, or sell you anything, or destroy democracy. What a concept. There are organizations out there that make technology that are not trying to burn the world down.&quot; 

Graves asked where Signal gets their money? Hurst said {{quote|

It's a funny story. It's an independent foundation called the [[w:Signal Foundation|Signal Foundation]] ... . Then the next question is where did they get their funding? ... A guy named [[w:Brian Acton|Brian Acton]], who was a co-founder of an app called WhatsApp. ... This is way before it became part of [[w:Mark Zuckerberg|Zuckerberg]]'s, sludge factory. And these two guys said via WhatsApp to their users, we promise we will never sell your data. ... You can trust us. We're gonna encrypt everything, and it's gonna be a safe and secure way for you to communicate with your friends and loved ones and your communities.

And then Zuckerberg showed up and dangled several billion dollars under their noses. And all of a sudden, WhatsApp was part of Zuckerberg's sludge factory. And ... the WhatsApp community lost everything that had been promised by Acton and his partner. 

However, Acton had a bunch of money, and he felt guilty. And I know he feels guilty because [[w:Steven Levy|Stephen Levy]] wrote about this in his book on Facebook a couple of years ago,&lt;ref&gt;Levy (2020).&lt;/ref&gt; and I spoke to Stephen Levy about this on my show. ... Acton funded Signal, and Signal is now doing everything that WhatsApp had originally promised: Privacy, non-commercial, not selling people out. And they've got this president, [[w:Meredith Whittaker|Meredith Whitaker]], who's very highly regarded.}} 

=== Good Reports ===

Graves then asked if Hurst had an organization that was helping people migrate. Hurst could not recommend an organization, but his &quot;GoodReports.com&quot; website lists various alternatives, e.g., instead of WhatsApp, use Signal, etc. He invited anyone who wants help with this to email him.&lt;ref name=GR/&gt;

Graves mentioned he had interviewed [[Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says|Facebook whistleblower Francis Haugen]], who said, &quot;The shortest path to a click is anger and hate.&quot; Hurst replied, &quot;Frances did great work, bringing to light what then became known as the [[w:2021 Facebook leak|Facebook Files]]. She testified to Congressional Committee showing that Facebook executives knew internally from their own research that [[w:Instagram|Instagram]] was encouraging teenage girls to self-harm.&quot; 

Graves said, &quot;Suicide.&quot; Hurst agreed. &quot;And they knew it. And when some well-meaning executives tried to bring this up to Zuckerberg and other senior leaders, They were waved away. 

Graves noted, &quot;They eliminated her job.&quot; Hurst agreed. They said, &quot;Don't tell us about this. In fact, if you found that something is driving more addiction and engagement, let's do more of it. Don't you understand what we are here? We are an unethical sludge factory.&quot; 

Graves added, &quot;That's not the term they use. The term they use is, &quot;We have an obligation to our shareholders to maximize shareholder value. And they could be sued if they do something different for not taking care of their fiduciary responsibility.&quot; 

=== Friedman on shareholder value === 

Hurst agreed, noting that he had recently interviewed [[w:Megan Greenwell|Megan Greenwell]], author of a book called, ''Bad Company'' about private equity and the private equity and the death of the American dream.&lt;ref name=Greenwell/&gt; They discussed {{quote|

how the financialization of the American economy is using this concept of [[w:Shareholder value|shareholder value]] to exploit and just suck dry all of the goodwill and good faith in the system in order to juice just a little more profit out of it. Especially, she writes about in healthcare. She has harrowing examples of how people are just being tortured to pay up for life-saving care. 

The genesis of the idea of shareholder value came from [[w:Milton Friedman|Milton Friedman]] from the [[w:Chicago school of economics|University of Chicago]]. Friedman is writing that businesses have a responsibility to grow and bring back returns to their shareholders.

What is not as well known today is that ... after he wrote about shareholder value, [Friedman] said, however. there are some cases in which this should not be taken too far, such as in healthcare. ... This is not the exact wording, but basically he's saying that human beings deserve good healthcare. Don't use that as an opportunity to exploit them to their last penny. That's wrong.

And yet, as a society, we accept the financialization now of everything, not just healthcare.}}

=== YouTube attacks activists === 

Graves noted that he's with PeaceWorks Kansas City.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!-- PeaceWorks Kansas City--&gt;{{cite Q|Q64287449}}&lt;/ref&gt;, which had videos posted to [[w:YouTube|YouTube]], and YouTube trashed them. YouTube had also deleted videos by Palestinian human rights organizations.&lt;ref&gt;The Cradle (2025).&lt;/ref&gt; Hurst replied, {{quote|

This is an example of centralized power and the alignment with the current occupant and his administration. We have arrived at a point where if somebody wants to share a video online, which should be a pretty straightforward activity, everything has to go through what is essentially a censorship board or a censorship algorithm within Google. A lot of people don't know, Spencer, YouTube is owned by Google. So I like to call it Google's YouTube, so people don't forget that the company that is spying on you when you use their search engine, spying on you when you use their Gmail, spying on you when you use their Android phones, Android is another Google surveillance operation. 

This company is also spying on you and censoring information when it gets posted to Google's YouTube. 

This, by the way, is another action people can take very easy. Don't ever, ever use Google for search. Just use anything else. You can use [[w:Brave Search|Brave]]. You can use [[w:DuckDuckGo|DuckDuckGo]]. You can use [[w:Ecosia|Ecosia]]. Again, GoodReports.com has some alternatives to look at. It's free and easy to switch off of Google Search.

But for Google YouTube, it's difficult to switch out, because where are you gonna post something where everybody can see it? Because of this increasing bad behavior from Google, there are some alternatives that are springing up on what's called the [[w: Fediverse|Fediverse]]. This is a decentralized, non-commercial, nobody owns it. It's an open source protocol. You can post social media posts. You can post images as an alternative to [[w:Instagram|Instagram]].  And there is a Fediverse service for posting videos.}}

Graves said, &quot;I've heard of [[w:PeerTube|PeerTube]]. Is that part of the Fediverse? Hurst replied, {{quote|

Yes, it is. PeerTube is, I think, the main instance of video sharing on the Fediverse. ... Post the videos there. Link people there. And if you can avoid it, don't ever share a link to Google's YouTube. 

In the same way that people should not use Google search, they shouldn't use gmail, they shouldn't use Android. They shouldn't use any Google service if they can avoid it, which is very difficult.}}

Graves added, &quot;Your GoodReports.com gives alternatives to Gmail, etc.&quot; Hurst replied, &quot;Yes ... I'm going to try to expand it. Right now, it's just one page. But I do have a whole membership organization, where people can get a bunch of other, resources behind a login wall.&quot;

=== Alternatives to macOS and Windows === 

Graves noted, &quot;You also are opposed to macOS and Windows, and you recommend elementary OS or other Linux distributions?&quot; Hurst replied, {{quote|

Yes. Now, I have to be careful here, because I'm speaking to you through an Apple, MacBook. And ... I use an Apple surveillance iPhone.

I'm on the journey like everybody else. ... I don't want to pretend that I am somehow, more pure or enlightened … than other people. I think everyone is doing their best day to day.

But my aspiration at some point is to get off of Big Tech, increasingly surveilled and manipulative operating system called macOS, and get onto an open source a system such as Linux, some sort of Linux distribution. I did a whole episode on Tectonic about Linux distributions. If people don't know what that means, they can go to techtonic.fm and they can find the Linux show.&lt;ref&gt;Hurst (2024-05-27).&lt;/ref&gt; There are lots of options out there for people who want to get off of Windows and macOS. Sometimes it's not as convenient or as easy, but that is all part of the journey, , getting yourself extracted from the grip of these Silicon Valley sludge factories.}} 

=== Cloud storage: Google Drive, ... === 

Graves noted that Hurst had discussed CryptPad&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--CryptPad--&gt;{{cite Q|Q106642861}}&lt;/ref&gt; and other alternatives to Google Drive. Hurst responded that the he main cloud options today are Google Drive, Apple's iCloud, and &quot;Dropbox, which is another Silicon Valley company. I use Dropbox myself. But what would be smarter, again, I'm on the journey like everybody else, is to use alternatives that are not part of the Silicon Valley cartel. Even better if they're not located in the US and liable to be raided by ICE or whoever might be giving them a call from the current occupant's office. There are lots of options. CripPad is one of them. ... They're not free. ... You have to trust them, but I think there are plenty of options outside the U.S. that are inherently more trustworthy than the likes of Google.&quot;

=== Zero-click surveillance === 

Graves asked about &quot;zero-click software that can be installed on your mobile phone without your knowledge or consent, like [[w:Pegasus|Pegasus]].&quot; Hurst said, {{quote|

There's an Israeli company called [[w:NSO Group|NSO Group]] that was found to have created spyware that can infiltrate a person's surveillance phone. 

Notice I'm not saying the word smartphone. I try to avoid using the word smart, because in this case, in technology, &quot;smart&quot; just means surveillance. ... 

The NSO Group created spyware ... . The camera could be turned on, and the microphone without any change to the screen, without any knowledge, obviously not the consent of the user. ... The bad guys around the world ... would love to have this kind of spyware. ... Authoritarian governments, corrupt governments, kleptocracies, narco states, all these bad guys with power want to shut down the journalists and the human rights activists -- the good guys and gals who are trying to do something to build a better world. ... The bad guys want to shut them down. And so they would buy this spyware from NSO Group. 

And they would get Pegasus installed on the good people's phones. Then that made it easier for them to get something that they could spin as incriminating evidence or maybe blackmail material, maybe sexual in nature. 

Or simply to threaten and bully these journalists and activists. Or to track them in order to then round them up and capture them, later to be imprisoned or even killed in some cases.

[[w:Pegasus Project (investigation)|There was a book]] ... . I had one of the authors on Techtonic. They talked about the process of discovering how this spyware worked, and who was behind it, and who NSO Group had sold it to.}}

Graves asked if there was some antivirus or something that can detect whether my surveillance phone is infected? Hurst replied, {{quote|

The easiest way to rest easy is to never do anything that challenges the existing power structure. If you simply align yourself with the power elite in Silicon Valley, there's no reason why they want to surveil you anyway. 

It's the journalists, it's the educators, it's the human rights activists who are at risk.

If you live a life like you and I do, Spencer, where you're committed to working towards some measure of justice and equity in the world, then you have to think, yes, how can I be sure that my surveillance phone is not, right at this moment, feeding audio of my voice to the bad guys? 

There is no technology, there is no antivirus for your surveillance phone. It is built to be a surveillance phone. 

You can switch to an open source phone. There are some initial forays now into open source. I would actually call them smartphones, because they're not designed for surveillance. That might be a little more secure.}} 

Graves noted that Hurst's website mentioned [[w:CalyxOS|Calyx]], but their website and a Wikipedia article on them says their development is currently paused. Hurst replied, {{quote|

These are all initial forays. There's not a huge addressable market just yet for open source private phones. ... In the meantime, what I'm trying to do is just raise the alarm so that more people understand what the risk is to help, you know, seed society with this sort of thinking, so that at some point, when it comes to fruition, then there's going to be a lot more people who are demanding better options.}}

Beyond the problems with AI described in this interview, Acemogu and Johnson (2023, ch. 10) describe an AI-based &quot;social credit system&quot; used in China &quot;since 2017 ... in dozens of major cities ... . According to the Supreme People’s Court, “Defaulters [on court orders] had been restrained from purchasing about 27.3 million plane tickets and nearly 6 million train tickets so far [July 9, 2019].”' 

French researchers and journalists have expressed similar concerns. Jusquiame described, &quot;The city, a theater of fear&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Jusquiame (2025-11), in French.&lt;/ref&gt; updating his book, ''Move along. The city is under surveillance''.&lt;ref&gt;Jusquaime (2014), in French.&lt;/ref&gt; He also reviewed Tréguer's (2024) book, ''Technopolice: Police surveillance in the age of artificial intelligence''.&lt;ref&gt;Jusquiame (2025-01), in French.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Graves (2014) said we should, &quot;Restrict secrecy more than data collection&quot;, and Connelly (2023)   suggested that current US government secrecy rules encourage administration officials to do things that provoke foreign entities to commit attacks that can be denounced as &quot;unprovoked&quot; to stampede the public into supporting counterproductive uses of force.&lt;ref&gt;See also Connelly et al.

== Starting activity ==

=== Context: ===
You are preparing an activity on sounds and words in different languages around the world. While discussing with your students, you discover that several of them speak languages at home that you do not know at all (e.g., Tigrinya, Albanian, Dari, etc.). You are not quite sure whether or how to integrate them into your activity, nor, if you do want to, where to start.

=== Instructions: ===
Take a few minutes to reflect on the following points:

# What would be your initial reactions or questions as a teacher?  (For example: Should I be interested in this? Is it feasible? Is it beneficial for learning?)
# What simple activity ideas could you imagine based on the presence of these languages in your classroom? (Even if you are unfamiliar with them!) How might you connect them to a corpus that includes several widely taught international languages (English, Spanish, German, etc.)?
# In what ways could you involve the students concerned, as well as their families, in acknowledging and valuing their heritage languages?&quot;

== Objectives ==
By the end of this section, you should be able to...

* Become aware of the importance of linguistic diversity at school;
* Understand what awakening to languages is and what its purpose is;
* Understand the foundations and objectives of awakening to languages;

== Introduction ==
Awakening to languages is one of the four pluralistic approaches, and it represents an innovative pedagogical approach. It is a form of learning through problem solving, with specific objectives and the use of various strategies and cognitive processes (Charitonidou &amp; Ioannitou, 2012).

Specifically, it is an original approach used in primary schools, where children discover the diversity of languages and their functions (Candelier, 2003; Dabène, 2003). This approach includes the development of attitudes, skills and knowledge about languages, and is based on several objectives:

* linguistic (discovery of languages and their specific features),
* cognitive (mobilization of mental processes that support learning, but also relating languages to each other),
* sociolinguistic (understanding the roles and social representations of languages),
* psychological (ability to take a detached view of linguistic diversity).

By promoting a better understanding of language, this approach encourages curiosity, metalinguistic reflection, and openness to linguistic and cultural diversity.

== History ==
Awakening to languages became widely recognized in 2003 thanks to the European EvLang program, but it was inspired by earlier initiatives.

In the 1970s in Australia, faced with high levels of immigration, a language awareness approach was introduced in schools, even though English remained dominant (Dompmartin-Normand, 2011).

In the 1980s in the United Kingdom, Eric Hawkins developed the Language Awareness movement because students were struggling with English and lacked motivation to learn other languages (Bullock, 1975; Fidler, 2006). He suggested a bridge course between languages to encourage reflection on language and understanding of how it works (Hawkins, 1984; Bernaus et al., 2008).

In France, the idea was taken up in the late 1980s, especially in primary schools, in order to promote the languages of origin of migrant children and stimulate interest in all languages, even those not taught (Little &amp; Kirwan, 2018; Candelier, 2005).

Gradually, concepts such as metalinguistic reflection and cross-curricular skills were developed (Hawkins, 1999), while pilot projects were carried out in multicultural schools (Billiez, 1992; Dabène, 1991). Other countries followed suit, such as Italy (educazione linguistica) and Switzerland (EOLE program) (Bernaus et al., 2007). This work led to the EvLang and Ja-Ling programs, which disseminated the approach on a large scale (Kervran, 2006).

== Definitions ==
Awakening to languages is a linguistic approach through which students discover the world of languages by exploring their diversity and their functions. To understand this approach, we can refer to the definition given by Michel Candelier, coordinator of the EvLang project:

Awakening to languages is fostered when some activities focus on languages that the school does not aim to teach, whether or not they are spoken at home by certain pupils. This does not mean that only such activities are part of the approach, since it is above all a comprehensive, often comparative process involving these languages, the language of schooling, and the foreign languages taught. (Candelier, 2003, translated by the lesson’s authors)

What makes this approach unique is that no language is excluded. It allows for the full recognition of students' languages, even if they are not the main language of the school, and can also help with language learning throughout schooling.

When students engage in awakening to languages activities, they explore new sounds, observe different writing systems, compare languages reflecting on their similarities and differences, and become aware of the value of their own linguistic repertoire. In this way, they develop their ability to analyze human language (Armand, 2000; 2005).

The purpose of this approach is also to highlight the languages students bring from home (Candelier et al., 2012). Thus, awakening to languages can serve as preparation for language learning, which Zarate (1995) calls ''propédeutique'', laying solid foundations in the early years. It develops skills such as linguistic observation, reflection, positive attitudes towards languages, and openness to intercultural encounters (Dabène, 2003; Bernaus et al., 2008).

In short, it is preparation for language learning, which seeks to arouse students' curiosity, interest, and confidence in languages and cultures, and to strengthen their ability to observe, analyze, and make connections between different languages.

In order to implement this approach, it is useful to refer to the tools/resources offered by the EvLang program. The approach presented below:

# Setting the scene or anchoring. This first step serves to introduce the topic. It links the new material to the students' existing knowledge and their everyday life in the classroom. The aim is to create a “learning contract” with the students and ask an interesting and open-ended question (e.g., “Why don't we speak just one language in the world?”) that motivates the students to participate. This is also when the students' representations of languages emerge. They exchange their points of view, ask questions that interest them, and this encourages their engagement. Students also share their personal experiences, their linguistic histories, and their intuitive knowledge about languages, their form, and their role in everyday life.
# The research situation. During this stage, students become a kind of detectives. They have to solve a problem presented by the teacher. A “linguistic tension” arises, which pushes them to discover new knowledge on their own. They develop strategies: observing, comparing, analyzing, hypothesizing, organizing, and discussing their ideas. They work in groups, negotiate, make tentative generalizations, and question what they knew about the language before.
# Synthesis. This is the final stage, where the students' personal and collective discoveries take shape. They express what they have observed and understood by working together to create a concrete or conceptual solution or tool. This is the moment when everything they have discovered becomes clear and new knowledge is constructed.

== An example of an awakening to languages activity ==

=== “The sounds of my classroom” ===

==== 1. Setting the scene: Discovering languages in the classroom ====
'''Objective''': To make students aware of the linguistic diversity of their group.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher asks each student to think of a word, a short expression, or a special sound in the language they speak at home.
* Each student shares their word or sound aloud with the rest of the class.
* The teacher writes these words or sounds on the board, specifying the language if possible.
* Simple questions are asked to spark curiosity:
** “Who knows this language?”
** “What do you find interesting or surprising about these words?”
** “Have you heard these sounds anywhere else?”

==== 2. Research situation: Observe and compare sounds ====
'''Objective''': To encourage students to listen carefully and think about the differences and similarities between languages.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher reads the words or repeats the sounds one by one, slowly.
* The students listen and repeat if possible, trying to imitate the sounds.
* Then, in small groups (3–4 students), they discuss the following questions:
** Which sounds seem similar to you?
** Which sounds seem different to you?
** Are there any sounds you don't know?
* Each group writes or draws their observations on a sheet of paper (for example, a table with columns labeled “similar” and “different”).

==== 3. Synthesis: Share and create a collective tool ====
'''Objective''': Develop a collective understanding and highlight the students' discoveries.

'''Procedure''':

* Each group presents its observations to the whole class.
* The teacher writes down the important ideas on a large poster or board entitled “The sounds of our class.”
* Together, create a small booklet or poster with:
** The words or sounds collected,
** The similarities and differences observed,
** A few drawings or symbols to illustrate the sounds.
* Students are encouraged to use this booklet or poster in future language activities.
* The activity ends with a discussion about what these discoveries have taught us:
** “Why is it important to know the languages spoken in the classroom?”
** “What does this teach us about languages in general?”

==== Teaching comments ====

* This activity develops linguistic curiosity and metalinguistic reflection from the very beginning of learning.
* It values all of the students' languages, even those that are unfamiliar to the teacher.
* Group work promotes cooperation and dialogue.
* The booklet or poster creates a concrete tool that reminds students of the linguistic richness present in the classroom.
* The teacher can adapt the difficulty of the questions according to the age of the students.
* Families can also be invited to participate by sending words or sounds from home, which strengthens the school-family bond.

== Take home messages ==

* Awakening to languages stands out for its openness to all languages, without exception, including those spoken at home.
* The activities encourage language discovery through comparative work and reflection.
* The approach develops observation skills, curiosity, and interest in languages and cultures, as well as a positive attitude toward diversity.
* It is not a language teaching method, but rather an active preparation for learning.

# Setting the scene or anchoring. This first step serves to introduce the topic. It links the new material to the students' existing knowledge and their everyday life in the classroom. The aim is to create a “learning contract” with the students and ask an interesting and open-ended question (e.g., “Why don't we speak just one language in the world?”) that motivates the students to participate. This is also when the students' representations of languages emerge. They exchange their points of view, ask questions that interest them, and this encourages their engagement. Students also share their personal experiences, their linguistic histories, and their intuitive knowledge about languages, their form, and their role in everyday life.
# The research situation. During this stage, students become a kind of detectives. They have to solve a problem presented by the teacher. A “linguistic tension” arises, which pushes them to discover new knowledge on their own. They develop strategies: observing, comparing, analyzing, hypothesizing, organizing, and discussing their ideas. They work in groups, negotiate, make tentative generalizations, and question what they knew about the language before.
# Synthesis. This is the final stage, where the students' personal and collective discoveries take shape. They express what they have observed and understood by working together to create a concrete or conceptual solution or tool. This is the moment when everything they have discovered becomes clear and new knowledge is constructed.

== An example of an awakening to languages activity ==

=== “The sounds of my classroom” ===

==== 1. Setting the scene: Discovering languages in the classroom ====
'''Objective''': To make students aware of the linguistic diversity of their group.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher asks each student to think of a word, a short expression, or a special sound in the language they speak at home.
* Each student shares their word or sound aloud with the rest of the class.
* The teacher writes these words or sounds on the board, specifying the language if possible.
* Simple questions are asked to spark curiosity:
** “Who knows this language?”
** “What do you find interesting or surprising about these words?”
** “Have you heard these sounds anywhere else?”

==== 2. Research situation: Observe and compare sounds ====
'''Objective''': To encourage students to listen carefully and think about the differences and similarities between languages.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher reads the words or repeats the sounds one by one, slowly.
* The students listen and repeat if possible, trying to imitate the sounds.
* Then, in small groups (3–4 students), they discuss the following questions:
** Which sounds seem similar to you?
** Which sounds seem different to you?
** Are there any sounds you don't know?
* Each group writes or draws their observations on a sheet of paper (for example, a table with columns labeled “similar” and “different”).

==== 3. Synthesis: Share and create a collective tool ====
'''Objective''': To develop a collective understanding and highlight the students' discoveries.

'''Procedure''':

* Each group presents its observations to the whole class.
* The teacher writes down the important ideas on a large poster or board entitled “The sounds of our class.”
* Together, the students create a small booklet or poster with:
** The words or sounds collected,
** The similarities and differences observed,
** A few drawings or symbols to illustrate the sounds.
* Students are encouraged to use this booklet or poster in future language activities.
* The activity ends with a discussion about what these discoveries have taught us:
** “Why is it important to know the languages spoken in the classroom?”
** “What does this teach us about languages in general?”

==== Teaching comments ====

* This activity develops linguistic curiosity and metalinguistic reflection from the very beginning of learning.
* It values all of the students' languages, even those that are unfamiliar to the teacher.
* Group work promotes cooperation and dialogue.
* The booklet or poster creates a concrete tool that reminds students of the linguistic richness present in the classroom.
* The teacher can adapt the difficulty of the questions according to the age of the students.
* Families can also be invited to participate by sending words or sounds from home, which strengthens the school-family bond.

== Take home messages ==

* Awakening to languages stands out for its openness to all languages, without exception, including those spoken at home.
* The activities encourage language discovery through comparative work and reflection.
* The approach develops observation skills, curiosity, and interest in languages and cultures, as well as a positive attitude toward diversity.
* It is not a language teaching method, but rather an active preparation for learning.

== Introduction ==
Awakening to languages is one of the four pluralistic approaches, and represents an innovative pedagogical approach. It is a form of learning through problem solving, with specific objectives and the use of various strategies and cognitive processes (Charitonidou &amp; Ioannitou, 2012).

Specifically, it is an original approach used in primary schools, where children discover the diversity of languages and their functions (Candelier, 2003; Dabène, 2003). This approach includes the development of attitudes, skills and knowledge about languages, and is based on several objectives:

* linguistic (discovery of languages and their specific features),
* cognitive (mobilization of mental processes that support learning, but also relating languages to each other),
* sociolinguistic (understanding the roles and social representations of languages),
* psychological (ability to take a detached view of linguistic diversity).

By promoting a better understanding of language, this approach encourages curiosity, metalinguistic reflection, and openness to linguistic and cultural diversity.

== History ==
Awakening to languages became widely recognized in 2003 thanks to the European EvLang program, but it was inspired by earlier initiatives.

In the 1970s in Australia, faced with high levels of immigration, a language awareness approach was introduced in schools, even though English remained dominant (Dompmartin-Normand, 2011).

In the 1980s in the United Kingdom, Eric Hawkins developed the Language Awareness movement because students were struggling with English and lacked motivation to learn other languages (Bullock, 1975; Fidler, 2006). He suggested a bridge course between languages to encourage reflection on language and understanding of how it works (Hawkins, 1984; Bernaus et al., 2008).

In France, the idea was taken up in the late 1980s, especially in primary schools, in order to promote the languages of origin of migrant children and stimulate interest in all languages, even those not taught (Little &amp; Kirwan, 2018; Candelier, 2005).

Gradually, concepts such as metalinguistic reflection and cross-curricular skills were developed (Hawkins, 1999), while pilot projects were carried out in multicultural schools (Billiez, 1992; Dabène, 1991). Other countries followed suit, such as Italy (educazione linguistica) and Switzerland (EOLE program) (Bernaus et al., 2007). This work led to the EvLang and Ja-Ling programs, which disseminated the approach on a large scale (Kervran, 2006).

== Definitions ==
Awakening to languages is a linguistic approach through which students discover the world of languages by exploring their diversity and their functions. To understand this approach, we can refer to the definition given by Michel Candelier, coordinator of the EvLang project:

Awakening to languages is fostered when some activities focus on languages that the school does not aim to teach, whether or not they are spoken at home by certain pupils. This does not mean that only such activities are part of the approach, since it is above all a comprehensive, often comparative process involving these languages, the language of schooling, and the foreign languages taught. (Candelier, 2003, translated by the lesson’s authors)

What makes this approach unique is that no language is excluded. It allows for the full recognition of students' languages, even if they are not the main language of the school, and can also help with language learning throughout schooling.

When students engage in awakening to languages activities, they explore new sounds, observe different writing systems, compare languages reflecting on their similarities and differences, and become aware of the value of their own linguistic repertoire. In this way, they develop their ability to analyze human language (Armand, 2000; 2005).

The purpose of this approach is also to highlight the languages students bring from home (Candelier et al., 2012). Thus, awakening to languages can serve as preparation for language learning, which Zarate (1995) calls ''propédeutique'', laying solid foundations in the early years. It develops skills such as linguistic observation, reflection, positive attitudes towards languages, and openness to intercultural encounters (Dabène, 2003; Bernaus et al., 2008).

In short, it is preparation for language learning, which seeks to arouse students' curiosity, interest, and confidence in languages and cultures, and to strengthen their ability to observe, analyze, and make connections between different languages.

In order to implement this approach, it is useful to refer to the tools/resources offered by the EvLang program. The approach presented below:

# Setting the scene or anchoring. This first step serves to introduce the topic. It links the new material to the students' existing knowledge and their everyday life in the classroom. The aim is to create a “learning contract” with the students and ask an interesting and open-ended question (e.g., “Why don't we speak just one language in the world?”) that motivates the students to participate. This is also when the students' representations of languages emerge. They exchange their points of view, ask questions that interest them, and this encourages their engagement. Students also share their personal experiences, their linguistic histories, and their intuitive knowledge about languages, their form, and their role in everyday life.
# The research situation. During this stage, students become a kind of detectives. They have to solve a problem presented by the teacher. A “linguistic tension” arises, which pushes them to discover new knowledge on their own. They develop strategies: observing, comparing, analyzing, hypothesizing, organizing, and discussing their ideas. They work in groups, negotiate, make tentative generalizations, and question what they knew about the language before.
# Synthesis. This is the final stage, where the students' personal and collective discoveries take shape. They express what they have observed and understood by working together to create a concrete or conceptual solution or tool. This is the moment when everything they have discovered becomes clear and new knowledge is constructed.

Other countries followed suit, such as Italy (educazione linguistica) and Switzerland (EOLE program) (Bernaus et al., 2007). This work led to the EvLang and Ja-Ling programs, which disseminated the approach on a large scale (Kervran, 2006).

== Definitions ==
Awakening to languages is a linguistic approach through which students discover the world of languages by exploring their diversity and their functions. To understand this approach, we can refer to the definition given by Michel Candelier, coordinator of the EvLang project:

Awakening to languages is fostered when some activities focus on languages that the school does not aim to teach, whether or not they are spoken at home by certain pupils. This does not mean that only such activities are part of the approach, since it is above all a comprehensive, often comparative process involving these languages, the language of schooling, and the foreign languages taught. (Candelier, 2003, translated by the lesson’s authors)

What makes this approach unique is that no language is excluded. It allows for the full recognition of students' languages, even if they are not the main language of the school, and can also help with language learning throughout schooling.

When students engage in awakening to languages activities, they explore new sounds, observe different writing systems, compare languages reflecting on their similarities and differences, and become aware of the value of their own linguistic repertoire. In this way, they develop their ability to analyze human language (Armand, 2000; 2005).

The purpose of this approach is also to highlight the languages students bring from home (Candelier et al., 2012). Thus, awakening to languages can serve as preparation for language learning, which Zarate (1995) calls ''propédeutique'', laying solid foundations in the early years. It develops skills such as linguistic observation, reflection, positive attitudes towards languages, and openness to intercultural encounters (Dabène, 2003; Bernaus et al., 2008).

In short, it is preparation for language learning, which seeks to arouse students' curiosity, interest, and confidence in languages and cultures, and to strengthen their ability to observe, analyze, and make connections between different languages.

In order to implement this approach, it is useful to refer to the tools/resources offered by the EvLang program. The approach presented below:

# Setting the scene or anchoring. This first step serves to introduce the topic. It links the new material to the students' existing knowledge and their everyday life in the classroom. The aim is to create a “learning contract” with the students and ask an interesting and open-ended question (e.g., “Why don't we speak just one language in the world?”) that motivates the students to participate. This is also when the students' representations of languages emerge. They exchange their points of view, ask questions that interest them, and this encourages their engagement. Students also share their personal experiences, their linguistic histories, and their intuitive knowledge about languages, their form, and their role in everyday life.
# The research situation. During this stage, students become a kind of detectives. They have to solve a problem presented by the teacher. A “linguistic tension” arises, which pushes them to discover new knowledge on their own. They develop strategies: observing, comparing, analyzing, hypothesizing, organizing, and discussing their ideas. They work in groups, negotiate, make tentative generalizations, and question what they knew about the language before.
# Synthesis. This is the final stage, where the students' personal and collective discoveries take shape. They express what they have observed and understood by working together to create a concrete or conceptual solution or tool. This is the moment when everything they have discovered becomes clear and new knowledge is constructed.

== An example of an awakening to languages activity ==

=== “The sounds of my classroom” ===

==== 1. Setting the scene: Discovering languages in the classroom ====
'''Objective''': To make students aware of the linguistic diversity of their group.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher asks each student to think of a word, a short expression, or a special sound in the language they speak at home.
* Each student shares their word or sound aloud with the rest of the class.
* The teacher writes these words or sounds on the board, specifying the language if possible.
* Simple questions are asked to spark curiosity:
** “Who knows this language?”
** “What do you find interesting or surprising about these words?”
** “Have you heard these sounds anywhere else?”

==== 2. Research situation: Observe and compare sounds ====
'''Objective''': To encourage students to listen carefully and think about the differences and similarities between languages.

'''Procedure''':

* The teacher reads the words or repeats the sounds one by one, slowly.
* The students listen and repeat if possible, trying to imitate the sounds.
* Then, in small groups (3–4 students), they discuss the following questions:
** Which sounds seem similar to you?
** Which sounds seem different to you?
** Are there any sounds you don't know?
* Each group writes or draws their observations on a sheet of paper (for example, a table with columns labeled “similar” and “different”).

==== 3. Synthesis: Share and create a collective tool ====
'''Objective''': To develop a collective understanding and highlight the students' discoveries.

'''Procedure''':

* Each group presents its observations to the whole class.
* The teacher writes down the important ideas on a large poster or board entitled “The sounds of our class.”
* Together, the students create a small booklet or poster with:
** The words or sounds collected,
** The similarities and differences observed,
** A few drawings or symbols to illustrate the sounds.
* Students are encouraged to use this booklet or poster in future language activities.
* The activity ends with a discussion about what these discoveries have taught us:
** “Why is it important to know the languages spoken in the classroom?”
** “What does this teach us about languages in general?”

==== Teaching comments ====

* This activity develops linguistic curiosity and metalinguistic reflection from the very beginning of learning.
* It values all of the students' languages, even those that are unfamiliar to the teacher.
* Group work promotes cooperation and dialogue.
* The booklet or poster creates a concrete tool that reminds students of the linguistic richness present in the classroom.
* The teacher can adapt the difficulty of the questions according to the age of the students.
* Families can also be invited to participate by sending words or sounds from home, which strengthens the school-family bond.

== Take home messages ==

* Awakening to languages stands out for its openness to all languages, without exception, including those spoken at home.
* The activities encourage language discovery through comparative work and reflection.
* The approach develops observation skills, curiosity, and interest in languages and cultures, as well as a positive attitude toward diversity.
* It is not a language teaching method, but rather an active preparation for learning.

== Medill Local News Initiative == 

[[w:News desert|News desert]]s are growing, and democracy is under siege. The Local News Initiative is working to document how this is happening and highlight organizations that are bucking this trend. Their work includes six distinct projects:&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!-- Understanding audiences and exploring new approaches--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137765492}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

1. What drives people to pay for local journalism&lt;/br&gt;
2. Human-centered design for local news products&lt;/br&gt;
3. Local news accelerator&lt;/br&gt; 
4. Understanding media markets&lt;/br&gt;
5. Medill news leaders project 2019&lt;/br&gt; 
6. The State of Local News Project&lt;ref name=StateOfNews/&gt;

Key results from each of these six projects can be summarized as follows: 

1. What drives people to pay for local journalism. Key findings of this project include the following:&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--What Drives People to Pay for Local Journalism--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137765516}}; Malthouse (2020).&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
:1.1. Find your own unique strength; don't mimic others.&lt;/br&gt; 
:1.2. Intense news consumers are more likely to drop a subscription, possibly annoyed by ads.&lt;/br&gt;
:1.3. News outlets should encourage regular visits over intense reading.&lt;/br&gt;
:1.4. Readers who use ad blockers are more likely to stay.&lt;/br&gt; 
:1.5. Both customers and companies benefit when consumers connect a product to their life goals.

2. Human-centered design (2018-2019): A key product of this project supports &quot;Timelines&quot;, which can attract audiences with a sequence of short (less than 20) slides with a strong chronological narrative.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Human-Centered Design for Local News Products--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137766330}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

3. Local news accelerator. This project included four sub-projects:&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Local News Accelerator--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137766701}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
:3.1. Shared services.&lt;/br&gt;
:3.2. Six-month cohort program in which local news organizations develop a project core to their missions.&lt;/br&gt;
:3.3. Day-long Chicago Local News Summit.&lt;/br&gt;
:3.4. Week-long innovation and leadership academy. 

4. Understanding media markets, which worked to correlate local news consumption with other demographics.&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Understanding Media Markets--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137767590}}&lt;/ref&gt; 

5. Medill news leaders project 2019, which conducted over 50 interviews with news industry leaders (completed in 2019).&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Medill News Leaders Project 2019--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137767869}}&lt;/ref&gt;

6. The State of Local News Project:  This project is extending [[w:Penny Abernathy|Penny Abernathy]]'s path-breaking inventory of news deserts in the US, with annual reports since 2016.

==Highlights==

===Creative destruction===

Tim noted that we are living through a historic transformation of how news is consumed, produced, distributed, and paid for. Like transformations in other industries, there is both destruction and creation.&lt;ref&gt;For a discussion of the history and importance of creative distruction, see Aghion et al. (2022).&lt;/ref&gt; Right now, destruction is winning, but there is also a lot of creation. {{quote|

At the Local News Initiative, we're trying to chronicle both to provide a comprehensive view of the local news landscape across the country, so that everybody can understand what's happening. And the stakes are very high for communities across the country that rely on reliable, accurate news and information to make informed decisions for their own lives and for their local governments. 

And ultimately, I think the stakes are high for democracy. ... 

One of the ironies about this era that we're all living through is that people have never had more access to news and information, and in many ways they've never been more misinformed. ... 

We are living through ... a tsunami of misinformation and disinformation ... . I get how easy it can be for people to be confused about what's real and what isn't. ... Most of us are on social media, and this stuff comes at us into our feeds on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, and it's often difficult to tell what is credible and what isn't. ... 

Fake newspapers are out in the wild now. There are actually more of those than there are daily newspapers. And they deliberately look like a legitimate newspaper in terms of the topography and the design and the layout. But then you start reading it, and you realize, whoa, wait a minute. What is this? And it turns out that many of these are run by political action committees or political ideologues, both on the right and the left. 

So this is a time when consumers need to be very aware and conscious of news sources, where they're getting, news and information from.}}

===Local news ===

Zach continued, &quot;The sources of information that people have historically trusted the most are local sources of information, whether it's friends or family, but also their local news organizations, their local news outlets, the ones that feel like there is a connection to the source of information that you're receiving. And when local news disappears, you lose that trusted authority of information. Instead, if all you're seeing about a topic are national perspectives in the national conversation, which in our moment is incredibly polarized, then all you're seeing is a polarized perspective on whatever the topic is.&quot; 

Spencer asked, &quot;And people trust their local news because they are more likely to have a personal relationship with some of the staff?&quot; 

Tim agreed. {{quote|

It's like people hate Congress, but they like their local congressperson. In many cases, I think it's the same with news. In every survey I've seen, there's often ... a 50% point gap between trust in local news versus trust in national news. Trust in national news is now down in the 20% somewhere, depending on which survey you read. But trust in local news is often 70% plus. ... 

Zach is actually working on ... a survey now, polling people who live in news deserts: ... What happens when local news goes away? What do people do, and where do they turn for news and information? And anecdotally, many of them turn to [[w: Facebook|Facebook]] and Facebook groups, and others turn to national news sources, and especially national cable. ... Those tend to be, in some cases, more partisan. ... 

In almost all cases, there's no journalist in those Facebook groups doing what journalists do, fact-checking, checking documents, talking to sources, trying to set the record straight. Instead, what you often have is rumor-mongering or misinformation in these groups. ... That's concerning. 

And that's why the loss of local news is so important for communities.}} 

Spencer mentioned that everything we think we know is coded in systems of connections between neurons in our brains and how that's unique and evolves over time.&lt;ref&gt;Graves and Bailey (2025).&lt;/ref&gt;

Tim agreed and mentioned the recent [[w:Killing of Renee Good|shooting in Minnesota. Many people &quot;saw the ICE officer shoot the woman in the vehicle]] and saw self-defense. Others ... characterize it as murder. I'm not going to characterize it either way, but just to say that there was a video of the exact same event.&quot; 

Zach added that this &quot;emphasizes the importance of or the unique value proposition that local news has .. [for] these national conversations about whatever policy it is, immigration, tariffs. Local news provides a perspective of 'here's how that policy could affect you and your neighbors and your community and your main street, and how these issues are going to impact the community that you live in'. ... You lose that when you lose local news.&quot;

Spencer asked if the fact that the extreme right tends to do better in news deserts&lt;ref&gt;Flößer (2024).&lt;/ref&gt; is because humans may talk less to their neighbors if they do not have local news to talk about?

Tim said, {{quote| 

I grew up in a house where my mom was a hairstylist in a small town in Indiana. And I remember as a kid enjoying sitting there, because the conversation almost always turned to what was in the local paper. ...

The local news outlet, whether it's digital or print or audio does drive conversation. It does drive civic participation. ...}}

===News deserts and politics ===  

Tim said, &quot;We did a study at the end of last year on how people in news deserts voted in the presidential election.&quot; 

Zach continued, {{quote| 

In 90% of news deserts, Trump won, and won quite handily ... . 

We have to be careful about making a causative argument there. It's not necessarily that the lack of local news causes a community to shift more right. But I think that there's a lot of interrelated factors that kind of go into these places. They tend to be more rural, they tend to be poorer, and … more conservative-leaning. ... 

But ... in places with this lack of information, this last lack of connection. ... They're losing that local sense of community that the local paper so strongly provides.}} 

===Most successful news outlets===

Spencer asked, &quot;What are the most successful news outlets doing today to grow their audience and revenues that less successful news outlets are not doing?&quot; 

Tim replied, {{quote|

It used to be 15 years ago that 80% of a newspaper's revenue came from advertising. That advertising business model for local news has vaporized. We've seen declines of about 70% in advertising revenue just over the last decade to newspapers. No industry can lose that percentage of its primary revenue source and not feel the pain. 

But ... I'm actually getting more optimistic about the entrepreneurship that's happening in the industry these days. Most news organizations now get a majority of their revenue from readers, not from advertisers. That's through subscriptions, whether it's print or digital or both. Or memberships in some cases, especially with nonprofit news organizations. 

And so, how do you grow your reader revenue at a time when people are already doling out money for [[w:Netflix|Netflix]] and [[w:HBO|HBO]] and [[w:Hulu|Hulu]]?  ... It's through having a direct relationship with your audience. 

One of the best ways to build that direct relationship is through [[w:newsletter|newsletter]]s. Newsletters are like this friend that you invite into your inbox every day. You're getting a quick, curated summary of the news in your community or of the nation or the world. And if you want more information, you can click through and get it. But it's a very convenient way to get news, and it's great for news organizations, because it builds that one-to-one relationship with the audience that is so important. ...}}

===Facebook and artificial intelligence===

Tim continued, {{quote| 

We just did some research on this in the past couple of months. The 100 largest newspapers in America have lost about 45% of their digital traffic just in the last 4 years. 45% in the last 4 years! And why is that happening? It's happening in part, because in about 2022 Facebook de-emphasize news, which means that the average Facebook user is getting less news and information in their feed than they used to. And that had a big impact on traffic that was going to local news sites, which cut their audiences and also resulted in losses in programmatic ad revenue at the same time. 

The other thing we've seen in the past year is the influence of [[w:Artificial intelligence|AI]]. We've seen a significant decline in traffic from search to news organizations, and especially local news organizations. And that's because people are increasingly going to AI platforms like [[w:ChatGPT|ChatGPT]], [[w:Claude (language model)|Claude]], or [[w:Perplexity AI|Perplexity]], or pick your platform. You put a question in those answer machines, and it just spits back the answer. You don't need to click through a blue link to go to a local news site to go hunting for your answer. That is also having a really significant effect on traffic.}}

===Different ways to reach an audience=== 

Tim continued, {{quote|

Increasingly now, it's important for news organizations who don't want to be reliant on social media, who don't want to be reliant on search, to build that relationship directly with their audience. You can do it through newsletters. We've seen some news organizations that are doing it through [[w:Text messaging|text messaging]]. I'm thinking about Outlier Media in Detroit&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Outlier Media--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137808587}}&lt;/ref&gt; as a good example of that. There also are news organizations that are using [[w:WhatsApp|WhatsApp]] to distill the news and also to have a conversation with their audience. One of the most successful is an organization called Connecta Arizona,&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Connecta Arizona--&gt;{{cite Q|Q137808652}}&lt;/ref&gt; which is doing a terrific job building audience through WhatsApp. And then they've built out other content verticals on top of that with radio, with a bilingual website, with newsletters, and other platforms. So, news organizations are having to get more creative about where they reach audience. ... 

There's a lot of growth that's happening in nonprofit news. ... There's been a net increase and growth in those in recent years. What happened in the past is every year we'd lose the same number of nonprofit startups as those that would actually start up. Now we're beginning to see a net increase in nonprofit news, which is great.

Keep in mind that about 90% of all local news organizations in the US are for-profit news organizations. ... Nonprofit news organizations are largely located in metro or urban areas, and a lot of the losses that we're seeing in newspapers are in smaller, more rural communities. And on top of that, many of those communities don't have [[w:Broadband|broadband]] access. It's actually kind of stunning in 2026 the number of areas in the U.S. that don't have access to broadband. And so doing a digital startup or a non-profit… digital startup, in a… in a sparsely populated news desert is probably just not going to work.

We want to continue to see this growth in nonprofits. There are some great examples of that. I'm thinking of ''[[w:The Baltimore Banner|The Baltimore Banner]]''. I used to be editor of ''[[w:The Baltimore Sun|The Baltimore Sun]]'', and the Banner has come in in a big way, made large investments in the newsroom. They just won a [[w:Pulitzer Prize|Pulitzer Prize]] earlier this year, so they're doing very high-quality news and information that wouldn't exist otherwise. 

Of course, ''[[w:The Texas Tribune|The Texas Tribune]]'' is another great example of that. ''[[w:CalMatters|CalMatters]]'' in California. I'm thinking about ''[[w:Block Club Chicago|Block Club Chicago]]'' here in Chicago, which is covering hyper-local news in neighborhoods in the city that weren't being covered before. 

So there are a number of great examples. What I worry about is that the loss of these commercial for-profit newspapers is outpacing the growth in digital news, sites and non-profit news sites, and ... leading to the loss of all these local news outlets.}}

Zach added, &quot;Nonprofit is a tax status, it's not a business plan. As a nonprofit news organization, there still needs to be a strategy for generating revenue and income. In many cases, that strategy hasn't always existed. ... Both components need to be true for a nonprofit to be successful.&quot; 

Spencer asked about a nonprofit in Hawaii that was growing dramatically by going to perhaps 3 pop-ups per month &quot;to make sure that the audience knew who they were&quot;, described on the Local News Initiative website.&lt;ref&gt;Brewington (2025).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Tim replied, &quot;Without speaking directly to the Hawaii situation, ... one of the hardest things that you can do is build an audience from scratch. It is really, really hard to do that, because, you have to build visibility, ... credibility, ... trust. And doing that from ground zero is really hard to do. There are a lot of examples of folks who've done it successfully, but it is tough&quot;. 

Zach added, &quot;The example of Hawaii is interesting, and I think the news organization that you're referring to is the ''[[w:Honolulu Civil Beat|Civil Beat]]''. ... There is a very densely populated central city, Honolulu. And then, outside of that, there's a lot of smaller rural communities. And when you're trying to spread beyond your audience and reach people in those smaller rural communities, it can be a lot of work to establish a buy-in to those places. And so these kinds of pop-ups and engaging directly with readers and audience members in those communities is essential for developing those bonds of trust, which ... is one of the most important things for a local news outlet that makes audiences keep coming back.&quot; 

Tim also commented, &quot;We just did a poll of more than 1,100 people in the 14-county Chicago metropolitan area. It included cities, suburbs, ex-urban, and rural folks who live in this region. And the fourth most popular source of news and information in that poll were [[w:Content creation|content creators]], were news creators. That's a category that, if we had done this survey 5 years ago, probably wouldn't have even shown up as a news provider. ... We're also seeing the growth of these news creators all over the country, many of them still doing national news, but they are building audiences. ,.. They're doing it through authenticity, through personality, through humor in many cases, and also through serious original journalism in many cases. And so, we're seeing ... this democratization of news and information, where content creators, whether on [[w:TikTok|TikTok]] or [[w:Instagram|Instagram]] or whether on [[w:Substack|Substack]].&quot; 

Spencer asked about government subsidies for local news, like the [[w:New Jersey Civic Information Consortium|New Jersey Civic Information Consortium]]? There's a long history of that dating back to the US [[w:Postal Service Act|Postal Service Act]] of 1792.&lt;ref&gt;The history of US postal subsidies is discussed, e.g., in the Wikiversity article on &quot;[[The Great American Paradox]]&quot;, accessed 2026-01-18.&lt;/ref&gt;

Tim noted that he had served {{quote|

on the bipartisan Illinois Local Journalism Task Force. We looked at this issue in depth and proposed some recommendations to the governor and the Illinois legislature. Happily, a package of bills were passed in late 2024 and took effect last year. I've been very concerned about having any government involvement in news, and an incursion of political influence on news coverage, which would not be a good thing. 

But through this process, I've come around, and I think what we did in Illinois was build a system of public policy to support local news that is not the government picking winners and losers. To give you an example, the centerpiece of this legislation is a tax credit program for local news outlets that hire and retain local journalists. It's $25 million over 5 years. 2025 was the first year, so about $5 million, went out the door, and it is literally first come, first serve. You apply with the state. You have to provide the state with your financials and your staffing numbers. If you qualify, then you get tax credits up to $150,000 per newsroom, or $250,000 per news company. And for a lot of smaller newsrooms, this is life-changing. $150,000 is easily a couple of journalists or maybe three journalists in a local newsroom. The hope is to incentivize local news organizations to hire and keep those journalists. If structured properly, I think that public policy can really play an important role right now or a bridge as we're going through these historic changes. 

The legislation also provides a scholarship program for journalism students like those at Medill, who agree to work at an Illinois local news outlet for the first two years after graduation. So that's an incentive for them to go into local news. We obviously like that program. 

There's also a requirement that if you're going to sell a local paper to an out-of-state entity, you have to provide I think it's 120 days notice to the community that you're going to do that to give the community a chance to make that acquisition. There are other models. California and New Mexico have scholarship, fellowship programs for local journalists. The New Jersey program, which has been around I think the longest, provides block grants for local newsrooms. And there's a bipartisan / nonpartisan committee that makes decisions on those grants. ...

There are also proposals to provide tax credits for small businesses that advertise in local news as a way to help both small businesses and local publications. I do think public policy done smartly and in a nonpartisan way can play a role in the sustainability of local news.}} 

===In sum===

Zach summarized by saying, &quot;We're really seeing a radical transformation within this industry, and a radical transformation that's really only taken place over the past two decades. The timeline here is incredibly accelerated compared to how these paradigm shifts have happened in other industries. We're seeing a lot of challenges because of that, but we're also seeing a lot of really vibrant innovation happen within the world of local news. And that means that it's a really exciting time to be in this space.&quot; 

== The need for media reform to improve democracy == 

This article is part of [[:category:Media reform to improve democracy]]. A summary of episodes to 2025-11-15 is available in [[Media &amp; Democracy lessons for the future]]. 

==Discussion ==

:''[Interested readers are invited to comment here, subject to the Wikimedia rules of [[w:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|writing from a neutral point of view]] [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing credible sources]]&lt;ref name=NPOV/&gt; and treating others with respect.&lt;ref name=AGF/&gt;]''

===Moderating political polarization===

This discussion included the role of local journalism in moderating increases in political polarization. The polarization itself seems to be due to the desire of media outlets to segment their markets. Major organizations often benefit from segmenting markets. In media, market segmentation becomes political polarization. Plots of political polarization in the US Congress are included in the Wikiversity article on, &quot;[[Evolution of political polarization in the US Congress]]&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;accessed 2026-01-18.&lt;/ref&gt; Other thoughts on how to reduce this are discussed in other articles in this series, [[Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

===Subsidies as a percent of GDP===

The recent Illinois subsidies at $5 million per year are just under 0.0005 percent of the Illinois GDP of $1.1 trillion. That's substantially more than the 0.00008 percent of GDP for initial funding of the [[w:New Jersey Civic Information Consortium|New Jersey Civic Information Consortium]], but substantially less than the 0.21 percent of GDP provided in 1840 by the US [[w:Postal Service Act|Postal Service Act]] of 1792 or the 0.15 percent that McChesney and Nicols (2021, 2022) recommend or the roughly 2 percent of GDP devoted to each of accounting and advertising or the 2 percent annual growth in GDP since 1947, the end of the post-World War II recession. All this suggests we need serious statistical evaluation of such subsidies to find the best level and structure for such, as discussed in &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;accessed 2026-01-20.&lt;/ref&gt;

[[File:Media and war.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-03-27 interview of Fordham University Communications professor Robin Andersen about media and war.]]

[[w:Fordham University|Fordham University]] Professor Emerita of Communications [[w:Robin Andersen|Robin Andersen]]&lt;ref name=Andersen/&gt; discusses her research on media and war with Spencer Graves.&lt;ref name=Graves&gt;&lt;!--Spencer Graves--&gt;{{cite Q|Q56452480}}&lt;/ref&gt; Andersen earned a PhD from UC-Irvine in 1986 with a dissertation on, &quot;The United States Press Coverage of Conflict in the Third World: The Case of El Salvador&quot;. She has expanded that work since with numerous publications including the 2006 book on ''A Century of Media, A Century of War'', which shared the [[w:Alpha Sigma Nu|Alpha Sigma Nu]] Book Award the following year with four others.&lt;ref&gt;Ralston (2007).&lt;/ref&gt; She also has ''The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza'', being officially released 2026-06-02. 

== Discussions of her work == 

=== ''A Century of Media, A Century of War'' ===

Anderson's (2006) ''A Century of Media, A Century of War'' was reviewed favorably by Richard Lance Keeble for [[w:Journalism (journal)|''Journalism'']].&lt;ref&gt;Keeble (2007).&lt;/ref&gt; Russell Branca&lt;ref&gt;Branca (2007).&lt;/ref&gt; ended his review of ''A Century of Media'' by quoting Anderson (2006, p. 317) that, {{quote| 

If America is to live up to its democratic principles, the process of war must be made transparent. If seeing “war as it really is,” turns the public against war, then a democratic process will put an end to war. Those who wish to perpetuate war have also declared war on freedom of thought, expression, and emotional autonomy.}}

Mark Hampton reviewed the book for ''[[w:American Journalism Historians Association#Publications|American Journalism]]''.&lt;ref&gt;Hapton (2007).&lt;/ref&gt; Jonathan Lawson in a review for ''Democratic Communiqué''&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!--Democratic Communique--&gt;{{cite Q|Q138797793}}&lt;/ref&gt; said, {{quote|

Independent, critical journalism, always a prerequisite for the informed debate that characterizes a functioning democracy, is especially important during times of crisis and war. The failure of the American establishment media to promote or sustain such public debate during the Bush administration's drive towards war in 2002 and 2003 has been catastrophic both for American democracy and for the hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been torn apart in the rubble of lraq. ... In describing what she calls the &quot;military-entertainment complex,&quot; ... Andersen has provided the new essential casebook for anyone wishing to understand the linkages between media and militarism in the United States.&lt;ref&gt;Lawson (2007).&lt;/ref&gt;}}

=== CIA - Contra - Cocaine ===

[[w:Paper Tiger Television|Paper Tiger Television]] featured her in a 1990 special titled, &quot;Robin Andersen Exposes the Real-Deal: CIA - Contra - Cocaine&quot;,&lt;ref&gt;Andersen (1990).&lt;/ref&gt; later documented in chapter 9 of her (2006) ''A Century of Media: A Century of War''. 

=== Treme and Katrina ===

Andersen (2018) ''HBO’s Treme and the Stories of the Storm: From New Orleans as Disaster Myth to Groundbreaking Television'' documented how [[w:Treme (TV series)|''Treme'' (TV series)]] debunked the racist reporting following [[w:Hurricane Katrina|Hurricane Katrina]]. For example, one [[w:Yahoo|Yahoo]] report 'identified a black victim as “looting” food and a white victim as “finding” food.' One of the characters in ''Treme'' threw &quot;a newscaster’s microphone into the river after listening to the reporter tell an international audience that the city is too ramshackle to rebuild. Her book was featured in a report for ''Inside Fordham'',&lt;ref&gt;Sassi (2018).&lt;/ref&gt; reviewed for ''Democratic Communiqué'', &lt;ref&gt;Wittebols (2020).&lt;/ref&gt; and mentioned in a lead editorial for a 2019 issue of ''Critical Studies in Television: The International Journal of Television Studies''.&lt;ref&gt;McCabe et al. (2019).&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Refugee crisis ===

Andersen and Bergman (2020) ''Media, Central American Refugees, and the U.S. Border Crisis: Security Discourses, Immigrant Demonization, and the Perpetuation of Violence'' document how &quot;media frames ... distort, mislead, and omit&quot; the role of US interventions in foreign countries, support the overthrow of democratically elected governments, denying equal protection of the laws to most of their citizens, so multinational businesses can confiscate the property of citizens, driving them to flee under threat of death of they remain, as summarized in a report on ''Fordham Now''.&lt;ref&gt;Verel (2019).&lt;/ref&gt;

== Highlights == 

The following are extracts from the podcast lightly edited for clarity; it may not be completely accurate and may be subject to change. 

=== Primary drivers === 

Graves asked Andersen, &quot;Is it fair to say that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible?&quot; She replied, {{quote|

Absolutely. We're supposed to hear from both parties, aren't we? We're supposed to hear both sides of the story. The journalism principles that I talk about and how they were violated are frequently violated in the coverage of war. We don't hear what our quote-unquote enemy really says. We usually hear it through the mouths of somebody else. ... A lot about [[w:Hamas| Hamas]] [comes] from Israeli officials. Not very much real journalism, recorded speeches, actual recorded messages from Hamas.

Those enemies, once they become identified as our enemy, and we're going to go in and attack them, they're immediately demonized. This is the case in every war we can think of. Saddam Hussein was demonized during the [[w:war on terror|war on terror]].}}

Graves added, &quot;But in the 80s, he was a great friend of the United States.&quot;

Anderson replied, &quot;That's right.&quot;

Graves continued, &quot;To the point even that some of his nuclear weapons experts were invited to a top-secret briefing on a certain technology regarding the construction and production of nuclear weapons, right?&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Milhollin (1992).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Andersen replied, &quot;That's exactly right. ... We actually funded both sides in the notorious [[w:Iran–Iraq War|Iran-Iraq War]].&quot; 

=== On ''The Complicit Lens'' ===

Graves asked Andersen to summarize the major claims of her ''Complicit Lens'', to be released June 2. 

Andersen replied, {{quote|

Richard Sanders&lt;ref&gt;&lt;!-- Richard Sanders--&gt;{{cite Q|Q24705106}}&lt;/ref&gt; is a British filmmaker. He did a documentary about [[w:October 7 attacks|October 7th, 2023]], in which he points out that all over social media, Hamas was posting their training videos, kind of what they were doing. They were learning how to get on those balloons and blow them up, the ones they took over the fence into Israel from Gaza. The Israelis ignored those videos. Nobody seems to really know why. They weren't there protecting the border area. Richard Sanders looked at hours of footage from the helmets of Hamas fighters who were either killed or captured. ... They went immediately to Israeli military bases that surround Gaza and on the border of Israel. They weren't fortified. They weren't ready for an attack. ...

[But] they were certainly ready with their propaganda campaigns. ...

What I think of as incitement to a genocide, ... in Israeli media and the US and Western media, they were ... quoted and reported on without much pushback, without ... pointing out what this might mean as it moved forward, what the consequences would be. ... [Israeli Major General [[w:Ghassan Alian|Ghassan Alian]] said], &quot;Hamas has turned into ISIS, and the residents of Gaza, instead of being appalled, are celebrating. Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water in Gaza, there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.&quot; 

Right there, he's declaring that he's going to commit war crimes, ... because war crimes are disproportionate violence, and the attacks on civilian populations for what their leaders did, what is called [[w:Collective punishment|collective punishment]]. ... 

In my view, it wasn't a war between Israel or Hamas or Israel, and an army. It was Israel attacks on a civilian population, but we never talked about them that way.}}

=== Compare with September 11, 2001 === 

Graves asked Andersen to compare that with [[w:September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]]. She said, {{quote|

In terms of media, there are quite a few parallels. If you remember, George W. Bush said to academics and all the people, you better watch what you say. ... Don't criticize U.S. foreign policy to at all. I remember down in Times Square in New York City. People were there, They had big talks and discussions. They had posters with explanations as to what our policies had been in the Middle East and why they would want to attack us and how we needed to change our policy. And within about a week, those things were completely removed. ...&lt;ref&gt;Nine days after the September 11 attacks, President [[w:George W. Bush|George W. Bush]] issued an &quot;Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People&quot;, which includes the claim that, &quot;Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.&quot; (Bush 2001). Hitchens (2006) described how President Bush's [[w:White House Press Secretary|Press Secretary]], [[w:Ari Fleischer|Ari Fleischer]], had worked to stifle dissent and public discussion of background and alternative responses. Miller (2007, &quot;Epilogue: After 9/11&quot;, pp. 200-201) describes how &quot;Questions of security and safety were ... used as justification for ... [t]he criminalization of spontaneous memorials ... . We can no longer represent our own memories and questions. ... What could possibly be of such compelling government interest that expressions of grief should be criminalized?&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;  

The big Sunday morning programs [featured] former generals, ... always tied to [[w:Military–industrial complex|military-industrial complex]]. Just as after 9-11, just as we started with the retaliation in Ukraine, and then the same with Israel: The people who are invited into the discussion about what's going to happen with Israel, what should we do, are primarily, ex-officials, ex-US military men who are heavily invested in the U.S. weaponry companies.}}

=== &quot;Anyone can go into Baghdad. Real men go into Tehran&quot; === 

Graves recalled that he had recently interviewed [[Media literacy to dispel myths and improve public policy|Sacred Heart University communications professor Bill Yousman]], who said that neocons have been planning this for a very long time. After the disastrous invasion of Iraq, a common neocon phrase was, &quot;Anyone can go into Baghdad. Real men go into Tehran.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Ahmad (2026). This article by Ahmad appeared 2026-01-26, thirty-three days before 2026-02-28, when &quot;Israel and the United States launched surprise airstrikes on multiple sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other Iranian officials.&quot;, according to the Wikipedia article on &quot;[[w:2026 Iran war|2026 Iran war&quot;]], accessed 2026-03-15.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Andersen replied, &quot;I think you can see that horrible, macho, egotistical, testosterone-laden stuff from [[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]. ... Tehran has ... proven that it has some staying power and was well prepared for this war, unlike the United States, which doesn't seem to be clear at all about what its goals are, how it's fighting the war, what it's doing.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Andersen (2026a) describes how US &quot;militainment&quot; is &quot;Gaming the Iran war and the Gaza Genocide Syndrome&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;  

=== &quot;Jesus has anointed President Trump to initiate Armageddon in Iran.&quot; === 

Graves noted that the [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] reported on March 3 that they had received over 200 reports from active duty military in over 50 different installations saying that their commanders had told them that Jesus has anointed President Trump to initiate [[w:Armageddon|Armageddon]] in Iran.&lt;ref&gt;Mordowanec (2026).&lt;/ref&gt;

Andersen agreed that many believe in a &quot;[[w:Rapture|rapture]]&quot;. &quot;That explains a lot of the support for the war in Iran, and any war, really. They believe that there's going to be a rapture. [I]f these ideas and battles are carried through, it will be their end times. I don't even profess to understand how anybody could think that way. But ... I have read also that U.S. commanders have been telling soldiers that Trump, of all people, is the savior on Earth. And they're going to follow him into battle in Iran, and it is going to be Armageddon. If you recall, George W. Bush also called it a holy war.&quot; 

Graves suggested that if Hegseth and the right two or three generals or admirals believe that Jesus has anointed them to initiate a nuclear attack on Russia, they could make it happen and claim that Trump ordered it.&lt;ref&gt;Retired major general Randy Manner said Pete Hegseth is not qualified to be Secretary of defense and is a 'potential war criminal' according to Ghosh (2026).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Andersen concurred that, &quot;there's a lot of people who are very worried about that. ...  They pulled out of treaties. ... Instead of mutual assured destruction, they went strategic nuclear weaponry. ...&quot; 

===Provocations for the &quot;unprovoked&quot; October 7 attacks===

Andersen continued, {{quote|

A program I watch on [[w:Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]] is called ''[[w:The Listening Post|The Listening Post]]''. It is a media criticism program. I was on it a couple times talking about &quot;[[Wiktionary:militainment|militainment]]&quot;. They did a piece called &quot;The Pentagon's Grip on Hollywood,&lt;ref&gt;e.g., Muirhead (2012).&lt;/ref&gt; and I appeared in a couple of those. ...&lt;ref&gt;Andersen (2003) describes how embedded journalist turned war into &quot;Militainment&quot;, a reality show. Andersen (2007) describes how the US military fabricated public relations hero stories from the routine military mishaps experienced by [[w:Jessica Lynch|Jessica Lynch]] and [[w:Pat Tillman|Pat Tillman]]. The military assault to &quot;save private Lynch&quot; was staged and filmed by the military screaming, 'go, go, go,' with guns and blanks without bullets, and the sound of explosions after the Iraqi military had already left, handcuffing and terrifying patients and the doctors who had struggled to save her Lynch's life. When the hospital attempted to deliver Lynch to a US outpost the day before the raid, the ambulance driver was fired on and forced to retreat. Tillman was killed by friendly fire. The US military went to extreme lengths to prevent the truth from coming out including burning his uniform and body armor with bullet holes that could prove he had been killed with US weapons and fabricated a hero myth, claiming he was killed by enemy gunfire as he led his team to help another group of ambushed soldiers. See also Andersen and Jonathan Gray, eds. (2008, section on &quot;Presidential stagecraft and militainment&quot;, pp. 376-381).&lt;/ref&gt; 

[[w:2021 Israel–Palestine crisis|In 2021, in May, from about the 10th to the 15th, Israel started to kick Palestinian]] residents out of [[w:East Jerusalem|East Jerusalem]] in a neighborhood close to the [[w:Al-Aqsa Mosque|Al-Aqsa Mosque]]. There were protests on the part of Palestinians. They were displacing them and making room for settlers. And they were also doing what they've been doing frequently to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, attacking worshippers, and getting Israelis in there. After that, Hamas lobbed some missiles into Israel, killing 12 Israelis. 

This is an example of what has happened before October 7th. Everyone said, this came out of nowhere, these are just terrorists with no explanation. It was such a surprise. We've done nothing. We're just innocent. We've done nothing to make this happen. 

After Hamas sent the missiles into Israel, Israel took out four large apartment buildings, including the media offices of Al Jazeera and the [[w:Associated Press|AP]]. And they killed over 200 people and wounded a bunch of people and basically destroyed that neighborhood. [[w:Amnesty International|Amnesty International]] said this looks a lot like war crimes. We should investigate it. And Amnesty called it disproportionate violence and collective punishment, which Israel continues to do. ... 

But a ''Listening Post'' story came out about the subsequent media coverage in Israel of those events, and they characterized it as incitement. They characterized the Israeli media as having incited and justified the attacks. The Israeli population seems to be  ... pretty much brainwashed. They don't understand what's going on, or they don't want to.

But I like to think of [[w:Gideon Levy|Gideon Levy]]'s work with Israel's oldest newspaper, ''[[w:Haaretz|Haaretz]]''. ... He says things like, this is not a war between Israel and Palestine, or Israel and Hamas. This is an occupation, and this occupation has been going on for years, and nothing will end unless the occupation stops.&lt;ref&gt;Andersen (2026b, p. 303) quotes Levy (2023) saying, &quot;There is no Israeli Palestinian conflict. There is a brutal Israeli Occupation that must come to its end.&quot; This matches conclusions by Samuelson (2025) based on analyzing a database of 60 insurgencies since World War II discussed in detail by Lawrence (2015), compiled by the &lt;!--The Dupuy Institute--&gt;{{cite Q|Q135969462}}.&lt;/ref&gt;

And he also says things like, &quot;There are three things that Israeli believe that cause this: (A) They're the chosen people, so how can they ever do anything wrong? Nobody can tell them anything, because they're the chosen people. (B) They're the victims. They're always the victims.&quot; And he quotes Golda Meir saying, &quot;I'll never forgive the Palestinians for forcing us to kill their children.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;The [[w:Wikiquote|Wikiquote]] article on [[q:Golda Meir|Golda Meir]] includes her saying, &quot;When peace comes, we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons.&quot; For this, they cite Meier (1973, p. 242), edited by [[w:Marie Syrkin|Marie Syrkin]]. This Wikiquote article lists this quote as &quot;disputed&quot;, because Rachlin (2015) said he was unable to find a primary source to better document the exact wording and context. However, the book is listed as &quot;An Oral Autobiography by Golda Meir&quot;, edited by Syrkin. If the book was actually &quot;An Oral Autobiography by Golda Meir&quot;, then clearly Meir wanted to take credit for that statement -- unless Syrkin added that without consulting Meier. Jones (2025) repeated the quote while insisting that it is often not true, saying, &quot;Courageous exceptions aside, Israeli society is awash with genocidal mania. At best, there is indifference to the mass slaughter of Palestinian children and babies. Some have even relished it.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;  

And then the last thing he says is that they truly believe that Palestinians are not human. ... They're some other form of being. They're not human like us.}}

=== Media coverage of Palestinian nonviolence === 

Graves noted that when the [[w:First Intifada|First Intifada]] began, [[w:Yitzhak Rabin|Yitzhak Rabin]] was the Israeli Defense Minister. He ordered his troops to shoot to wound. They got so much bad press, he couldn't do that. He issued clubs and ordered them to break bones. They got more bad press, and thousands of Israeli soldiers refused to serve in the West Bank and occupied territories in Lebanon. He court-martialed a hundred of them and sent them to prison. He realized he couldn't win that way, so he ran for prime minister on a platform of negotiating with the Palestinians. And he said, told his followers, &quot;I can get Arafat to end the nonviolence.&quot; And that's what he did.&lt;ref&gt;According to Usher (1993, p. 28), in 1993-09, Rabin explained that the Palestinians would be better at protecting Israeli interests in the occupied territories than the Israeli military, &quot;because they will allow no appeals to the Supreme Court and will prevent the Israeli Association of Civil Rights from criticizing the conditions there by denying it access to the area. They will rule by their own methods, freeing, and this is most important, the Israeli army soldiers from having to do what they will do.&quot; For more on this, see the section on [[How might the world be different if the PLO had followed Gandhi?#The nonviolence of the First Intifada|The nonviolence of the First Intifada]] in the Wikiversity article on [[How might the world be different if the PLO had followed Gandhi?]], accessed 2026-03-31.&lt;/ref&gt; 

Andersen replied, &quot;Everybody says that Hamas are the most violent terrorists. But ... I really think that&quot; the [[w:2018–2019 Gaza border protests|Great March of Return]] &quot;showed the world that Israel was not interested in peace in their country. It was not interested in a two-state solution and was not interested in any reform at all to their desires for what we now call [[w:Greater Israel|Greater Israel]]. One of the reasons they've never negotiated, really, over all these years, is that they've always never wanted to give up their expansion into future territories. ... From the end of March to December 2018 ... 60,000 Palestinians were injured doing peaceful protests, not organized by Hamas, organized by civil society in Gaza, and international groups helping. ... Every Friday, they went out and they marched. ... And they were constantly sniped by Israeli snipers. They aimed for their legs, so there were so many amputees and children were also killed. There were over 100 children that had to have prosthetic limbs. ... It was completely nonviolent. Human Rights Watch [and] other organizations said these are war crimes: They were not threatening Israeli security. They were not really threatening violence. No Israeli was killed.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Andersen (2026b, pp. 33-36) includes a section on &quot;Closing Democratic and Non-Violent Pathways for Change&quot; with 13 notes citing 10 different sources. The Wikipedia article on these events consulted 2026-03-31 describes some Palestinian violence but are largely consistent with Andersen's summary.&lt;/ref&gt;  

Anderson noted that chapter 4 in her ''Complicit Lens'' discusses, &quot;A Compromised Media Landscape&quot;. The Israeli office of the ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]'' are in a house that was occupied in 1948 by a BBC journalist. During the [[w:Nakba|Nakba]], that journalist and his family got in a cab and fled, leaving their house and all their belongings forever. An NYT Israel bureau chief contacted a daughter of the BBC journalist who fled with his family in 1948. The bureau chief said, &quot;You know, I think I live in your house.&quot; The woman went there and said, &quot;Yeah, this is my house.&quot; {{quote|

One of the NYT's public editors at one point said, &quot;Why don't we have some people living on the West Bank or in Gaza? They're going to get a very different view of this conflict than you're going to get from Jerusalem. That never happened. In recent years, lobbying groups like the [[w:Canary Mission|Canary Mission]] and [[w:HonestReporting|HonestReporting]] intervened with the New York Times and compelled them to fire one of their Palestinian journalists who worked in Gaza.}} 

At the same time, children of ''New York Times'' staff in Jerusalem were in the Israeli military. And the husband of [[w:Isabel Kershner|Isabel Kirshner]], who is still writing for the ''Times'', worked for a think tank, where his job was to promote the Israeli military.

=== Media and the US military === 

Regarding media and the US military, Andersen said, {{quote|

If your country is at war all the time, if you have no discussion of how the military budget is being spent, you have no real meaningful discussion within Congress about how much money and what you're going to give to this growing and expanding military that's 10 times bigger than the next ten biggest countries combined -- the biggest military ever known by humankind  -- then we are living under conditions where inherently, our freedom to express and freedom to dissent from that has already been curtailed. ... 

We only have enemies of our very own making. The media now is all over how [[w:Hezbollah|Hezbollah]] is a terrorist organization. ... Hezbollah was created in 1982 as resistance to what Israel and the United States were doing in Lebanon at the time. 

So, we have enemies of our own making. ...

We're the bad guys here now.&lt;ref&gt;Rodríguez et al. (2025) summarize the impact of economic sanctions by the US, the EU, and the UN between 1971 and 2021. Such sanctions have grown from 8% of countries in the 1960s to 25% of all countries in the 2010–22 period. They &quot;estimated that unilateral sanctions were associated with an annual toll of 564 258 deaths (95% CI 367 838–760 677), similar to the global mortality burden associated with armed conflict.&quot; Hickel et al. (2025) summarize this as, &quot;US and EU sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1970&quot;. Choonara et al. (2021) insist that economic sanctions target civilian populations and appear to involve multiple violations of international law.&lt;/ref&gt; We're the ones that are the real warmongers.}}

[[File:How women are centered and silenced in the major media.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-05-14 interview of Allison Butler by Spencer Graves about how the major media center and silence women.]]

Communication professor Allison Butler&lt;ref name=Butler/&gt; discusses her new book, ''The Judgment of Gender: How Women Are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture'' and some of her other work on media literacy. ''The judgment of Gender'' compares how women like [[w:Britney Spears|Britney Spears]], [[w:Anita Hill|Anita Hill]], and [[w:Monica Lewinsky|Monica Lewinsky]] have been portrayed with the treatment of comparable males. She notes, for example, that, &quot;in the years since the ''[[w:Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization|Dobbs]]'' (2022) decision, fully sentient female bodies have fewer legal rights than either fetuses or embryos.&lt;ref&gt;Butler (2026, p. 246). She continues, &quot;Within one year of the ''Dobbs'' decision, the number of ''legal'' abortions increased by about 2 percent, and by 2024, legal abortions increased by another 1 percent.&quot; (p. 247).&lt;/ref&gt; She asks, &quot;Why aren't women allowed to be complicated?&quot;, documenting how men are allowed to abuse their power for personal gain, but women are more likely to be demonized for comparable offenses.&lt;ref&gt;Butler (2026, p. 250).&lt;/ref&gt; Her recommendations&lt;ref&gt;Butler (2026, pp. 246ff),&lt;/ref&gt; include critical media literacy,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Critical media literacy&quot; is distinguished from &quot;[[w:Media literacy|media literacy]]&quot; that is not &quot;critical&quot; by its efforts &quot;[[w:Media literacy#Power|to analyze and understand the power structures]] that shape media representations and the ways in which audiences&quot; derive meaning from those representations. Accessed 2026-05-10.&lt;/ref&gt; asking how stories are told, and who gets to tell them. &quot;The vast majority of the mainstream media in the United States are approved, produced, and distributed by private, for-profit corporations whose primary priority is profit. ... Once we understand that, we can work to make a change. We can say 'no' to unfair or limiting stories of women and girls by simply ignoring them (and therefore not contributing to further views, clicks, or likes of them, online), and we can actively push back by demanding change from media producers. Media producers profit off our attention; if we shift that attention, we may be able to shift their power.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Butler (2025, p. 256).&lt;/ref&gt;

Graves asked, &quot;What's the most egregious example of the misogynism, the mistreatment of women, that you talk about?&quot; Butler replied: 

=== Missing and murdered indigenous women and girls ===

{{quote|

One of the examples that hit me as a researcher and therefore as a reader most hard is the way our nation treats [[w:Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women|indigenous women and girls]]. 

We have a lot of representation of indigenous people in our media history. Most of it is terrible. ... 

Let's remember that our indigenous communities are not homogenous. They are very different. They have their robust communities ... . 

When we look at the history of the treatment of indigenous people on this land, the earliest colonizers across all geographic areas, their notes and research show that they saw how indigenous people lived on the land ... .&lt;ref&gt;e.g., Graeber and Wengrow (2021) and ''[[w:The Jesuit Relations|The Jesuit Relations]]'', accessed 2026-05-18.&lt;/ref&gt; Many indigenous populations held women up in high regard as the creators, as the carriers of life. Many indigenous communities, not all, of course, but many indigenous communities were rooted in community, in collaboration, in connection, versus rooted in a strict gendered hierarchy. They were not rooted in patriarchy. 

The early colonizers that took copious notes on how women were treated, and that was the entry to how to destroy these populations, when out and out murder didn't work. 

There were the development of the [[w:American Indian boarding schools|residential boarding schools]] that took native children away from their homes. ... They did not understand where their children were going. ...  

Children were brutally, physically, sexually, emotionally abused. Many of them tried to run away and died, because if you're a small child of five and you've been taken hundreds of miles from your home, how do you get back to your home? 

And when those schools were no longer seen as productive, we have in the 1960s 1970s what was known as the [[w:Sixties Scoop|great scoop]], when indigenous children were, for lack of a better term, kidnapped ... and were given to good Christian homes. And church bulletins had pictures of indigenous children that were available for adoption. 

The ethos at the time was any adopted child, generally speaking, didn't know about their biological or their birth family. ... But indigenous children, generally speaking, couldn't fit in with the families. They didn't look anything like their siblings. They might not have been able to tolerate the same food as their siblings, and yet, they carried the burden of all of that. 

And then when indigenous women would go in for medical care ..., they would be forced into sterilization, often without their consent or without their knowing. A doctor would tell them they needed some sort of treatment, and in the process of that treatment would sterilize them. 

So we can see a through line throughout history, which then brings us to today where missing and murdered indigenous women and girls are superfluous, are disposable bodies. 

Law enforcement doesn't follow up on these cases. I read one example of a small town that had a new ice skating rink being built in the town and that got front page headlines versus a missing child. Now I'm not going to argue that an ice skating rink isn't important. It's probably really valuable for community and for community gatherings, but why is it more important as far as the headlines go, than a missing child? 

Law enforcement have regularly told families that their daughters were probably behaving badly. Maybe they were ... . But is that a reason for them to be murdered? Is that a reason for them to be forcibly disappeared? And is that a legitimate reason for their cases to not be explored? ... 

When white children were behaving badly or gone missing or murdered, there was significant response from law enforcement.}}

Graves asked, &quot;What do we do about it?&quot; 

Butler replied, {{quote|

I think the way that we make change is we start by having these conversations. We listen to stories. We pay attention to stories that might not be necessarily in our wheelhouse. When we're looking at our fictional media, our media of entertainment, we are seeing, I think, a slight uptick in indigenous stories that don't just focus on pain. 

There are incredible art campaigns. There's incredible activism. And there are amazing television shows. 

''[[w:Reservation Dogs|Reservation Dogs]]'' is one. ''[[w:North of North|North of North]]'' is one that tells bigger stories of indigenous populations, that show friendship, that sometimes are really funny, sometimes are really sad, that show people making connections with each other, having adventures, just living life.  

And those of us who might not be familiar with this history get the opportunity to learn a little bit more. One of the things that I think that's most fascinating about ''Reservation Dogs'' is it is entirely written, produced and directed by indigenous people. The actors playing indigenous characters are indigenous. The only White people in that show are actors playing White people. The clothing is made by indigenous people. The art in the background is made by indigenous people. ... The music that the characters are actively listening to is by indigenous artists. 

This gives the rest of us an opportunity to learn a little something more, a little something different. And through that learning maybe we just shift our perspective a little bit. Maybe we ... look at different pop culture sources. Maybe when we see, for example, sports names that draw on indigenous culture without necessarily the input of indigenous people. We call that out and we say, &quot;Hey, wait a minute. What's going on with this?&quot; ... 

If we are in community together, and we watch a show like ''Reservation Dogs'', and we say, Hey friend, hey sibling, hey, loved one, come watch this show with me, or watch it on your own, and let's talk about it afterwards.&quot; All of those teeny, tiny shifts in perspective can start to make change.}}

=== Media literacy ===

Graves observed, &quot;That relates to media literacy.&quot; Butler agreed: &quot;It absolutely relates to media literacy.&quot;

Graves then asked, &quot;What's the difference between [[w:Media literacy#power|critical media literacy]] and [[w:media literacy|media literacy]] that is not critical?&quot; 

Butler replied, {{quote| 

[[w:Media literacy|Media literacy]] is maybe like the big umbrella term. Within that umbrella we have different areas, because certain folks might focus on [[w:digital literacy|digital literacy]]. These days there's a huge conversation on [[w:AI literacy|AI literacy]]. ... 

When we're talking critical media literacy, we're really looking at an interrogation of power. How did these texts come to us? What is the process of ownership, production and distribution? Who said yes to this, getting into our movie theaters or our television screens or on our radios or our podcast streams, etc.? 

So critical media literacy is trying to look at the content, but how did the content get to us? Because that's power.  

The people who are on our screens or in our headphones have a degree of power. But the people who approved it, who wrote it, who produced it, who directed it, who released it; That's where we see a great deal of power. ... 

In the United States, the vast majority of our media are by private for profit companies, and a very small number of private for profit companies, which we are seeing get increasingly smaller and smaller. All these corporate buyouts that we hear about in our headlines or read about in our headlines, their number one goal is profit. We live in a capitalist economy defined by competition, and their number one goal is profit. ... 

Critical media literacy tries to work to deconstruct that ... . It is easy to be critical of that which we dislike. ... 

I never tell people to turn their media off. I just ask that we engage with it actively.}}

Graves said, &quot;Check before you share.&quot; Butler agreed. 

Graves asked, &quot;How does 'disconfirmation bias' fit with what you're talking about?&quot; Butler replied, {{cite Q| 

[[w:Confirmation bias|Confirmation bias]] is really easy. We barely need to try, because so much of our so much of what we do these days is digital, right? And so that builds our algorithm, which then builds us to be given the same things that we saw before, read before, listened to before, ... . 
 
I would encourage us to challenge ourselves to step outside of our familiar. ... I try and go to a press that I disagree with. I try and go to a press that I don't know much about. ... A lot of them are behind pay walls, and so I give up on that pretty quickly, because I don't necessarily think those folks need my money, nor do I want to give my money to them. ... 

But when I can, I try and look at what I disagree with. I try and move outside of my lane of belief, just to see what else is out there, to understand, because I think when we get so isolated into our safe spaces, we miss what a lot of people are struggling with.}}

=== Federal policies === 

{{quote|

I think our federal government is starting to figure this out on some level. There is no place that you and I can go without seeing in giant font, the prices of gas. And we might be being told by certain media outlets they're going to come down. They're not that expensive to begin with. .. 

And we're looking at our bank accounts, or we're measuring when we're going to drive, where we're going to go. We are now starting to hear ... of ways to make our gas mileage more efficient, check the tire pressure of our cars. Have less stuff in our cars, drive a little bit slower. 

That puts all the responsibility on us as individuals, ... who didn't make those decisions. Why do we have to change our behavior? ... 

Just trying to understand what else is out there. ... And that's the way that maybe we can move outside of these really narrow lanes that we're living in that don't allow us to see how complex and complicated our world is.}} 

=== Government favors to major corporations ===

Graves asked, &quot;What percent of the profits of the major of major corporations are due to government favors?&quot;

Butler replied, {{quote|

I can't give you the exact percent, but ... so much of what you and I do or get on a regular basis is actually federally subsidized ... . 

We do everything in collaboration. Somebody might ultimately take the credit for it. Somebody might ultimately actually be the leader of it, but none of these folks did this all by themselves. That's just not who we are as human beings. So I don't know the exact percentages, but we get a lot of federal subsidies that we tend to forget about ... .}}

Graves noted that, &quot;The [[w:Tax Foundation|Tax Foundation]] has published the number of words in US tax code and regulations. In 1955 was like 1.4 million words. And in 2015 it was like 10.1, increasing at a rate of 140,000 words a year. ... There are legitimate and illegitimate economies of scale. The illegitimate economies of scale are the ability of the major corporations to purchase their own tax loopholes.&quot; 

Butler agreed: &quot;Absolutely. The rest of us are struggling to figure out how to do that, how to pay our taxes, how to be. ...&quot; 

=== Mistreatment of women and politics ===

Graves then asked, &quot;What relation, if any, do you see in the mistreatment of women and the [[Evolution of political polarization in the US Congress|increase in political polarization in the United States Congress]] since Richard Nixon became president in 1969?&quot;&lt;ref&gt;The Wikiversity article on &quot;[[Evolution of political polarization in the US Congress]]&quot;, accessed 2026-05-19, include plots of &quot;nominate_dim1&quot; in the Voteview project ({{cite Q|Q130384333}}) initiated by [[w:Keith T. Poole|Keith T. Poole]] and [[w:Howard Rosenthal|Howard Rosenthal]], using in part the readDW_NOMINATE function in Croissant and Graves (2026), inspired by Friendly and Wainer (2021, Plate 9, p. 250).&lt;/ref&gt; 

Butler replied, {{quote|

I think women have been mistreated well before Nixon ... . 

When we look at the pro natalist movement, when we look at the overturning of [[w:Roe v. Wade|Roe v. Wade]], when we look at the attempt to keep women at home. When we look at pretty concerted efforts to take away voting rights for women, we are seeing evidence of a society that disrespects women. When we look at the Epstein files not being released, when we look at the names of women in the Epstein files, who were promised that their names would be redacted, and they aren't. These are women who are trying to tell their stories from a position of safety, and that was made extraordinarily unsafe for them. 

We are telling the world that we devalue women. When women in political office are insulted for being women, not for their policies, we are showing the world that we devalue women's political participation. When we look at somebody like [[w:Nikki Haley|Nikki Haley]], whose politics I disagree with, I am not a fan of what she would have done had she been successful in her bid for president, but she gets insulted for being a woman, for being a woman who has the audacity to age.  

[[w:Hillary Clinton|Hillary Clinton]] as first lady of Arkansas, Hillary Clinton as senator, Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and as presidential candidate. There's a record of this woman's policies. She held political office. We have information about her policies, not just imagined. What did she get insulted for? She got insulted for being a woman. She got insulted for her weird hair bands when she was first lady of Arkansas, and then when Clinton was on the campaign trail. Who cares? What do her hair bands have to do with anything? ... 

What all of these folks have in common that cuts across political lines is that they're being insulted for being women. ...}}

Graves recalled, &quot;President Trump says to female journalists, 'Piggy.'&quot; Butler agreed, &quot;Bodily insults absolutely.&quot; 

=== Attacks on election integrity ===

Graves noted, &quot;In 1980 Republican Christian conservative [[w:Paul Weyrich|Paul Weyrich]] famously said, [[q:Paul Weyrich|'I don't want everybody to vote.]] ... Our success in elections goes up as voter participation goes down.'&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Weyrich (1980).&lt;/ref&gt; Graves then asked for comments about the complicity of the media in allowing or encouraging the continued attacks on voter integrity.

Butler observed, {{quote|

We're looking at the gerrymandering of various districts. When it works in favor of those who are in power, it is allowed. When it goes in favor of those who aren't in power, it is disallowed. When we look at the way the media tells stories of &quot;the real America&quot; or the divided America, even our electoral maps divide us into [[w:Red states and blue states|red and blue states]]. 

I'm in Massachusetts. We're a pretty blue state, but also we're actually a purple state. There are plenty of Republican voters in Massachusetts. ... 

Our neighbors might be politically divided, but we can still get along and shovel our driveways together in a snowstorm, or ask after our dogs, or ask after our children. ...}}

=== Let's agree to disagree ===

Graves said,  &quot;To me, there are several level levels of media literacy. A level above 'disconfirmation bias' is conversation: We have to talk politics -- calmly. Your colleagues, Higdon and Huff, have a book out on, ''Let's agree to disagree''.&lt;ref&gt;Higdon and Huff (2022).&lt;/ref&gt; Talk about that.&quot; Butler replied, {{quote|

I would want to leave them to talk about their book. But what I will say from from reading their book and from working with the two of them quite closely is exactly their title, ... ''Let's agree to disagree''.

The message these days is that disagreement, that any kind of conflict, is to to be frowned upon and is to immediately erupt in yelling. ... 

I was at an event a year or so ago where we were talking about workplace conflict. The woman running the event showed this beautiful picture of the Grand Canyon, and she said to all of us, &quot;How does conflict define the Grand Canyon?&quot; 

Thank goodness I didn't say this out loud, but in my mind, I was going, &quot;the destruction of the indigenous populations. They lived in the canyon. And then the White people came and took it over ... .&quot; 

And she gave, actually, a really simple answer: The conflict of the Grand Canyon is water. Over millions of years, water changed this land. And look what we get from that conflict. We get this beautiful space where, yes, indigenous populations live, and there are species of animals that we find nowhere else on the planet, and we get to go there with our families and look at this beautiful space. And we get to see gorgeous wild animals and maybe a stunning sunset. And maybe some of us are brave enough to hike it and do all that incredible stuff. 

Conflict can result in great beauty. It doesn't have to result in destruction. ... 

When we look at things like [[w:Fox News|Fox News]] or many of our podcasts, it's scream, scream, scream, interrupt, interrupt. And so many of the people getting interrupted are women. 

We seem to be okay in this country with interrupting women and just as often having men repeat what women said and then be perfectly happy that they were the ones who said it, as if the woman hadn't already said that. 

Let's think of conflict as something that could be wonderful. We can disagree and we can learn. 

Learning is inherently uncomfortable. Any athlete will say that you don't just run a marathon or play a World Cup football / soccer game. You train, you train, you train, you train. And that training is uncomfortable. ... But it's uncomfortable with a wonderful, stunning, gorgeous goal. 

Let's make conflict beautiful, and let's listen to each other.}}

Graves added, &quot;Part of the point of agreeing to disagree and talking is that it's more important to identify areas of agreement than areas of disagreement.&quot; 

Butler agreed. {{quote| 

My other favorite metaphor is ... &quot;My dog is number one in my heart.&quot; But you don't punish dogs. When the puppy tears up the newspaper, and we think like, &quot;Oh, bad dog,&quot; and we get mad at the dog, in their little doggy brains it's, &quot;Oh, I didn't tear this up enough. ... So I'm going to tear it up more.&quot; 

We should reward our puppies for what they've done well ... and then they want to do more of that. ... Let's get treats galore for when you do a good thing.}} 

=== Sexual assault in the US military ===

Graves asked, &quot;What do you recommend be done to reduce problems of sexual assault in the US military?&quot; 

Butler replied, {{quote| 

I am not a legal expert. There are divisions about whether these cases should be handled externally. 

The military went through a series of sexual assault trainings. And what we saw as a result from that was increased sexual assault. Now that might seem bad and backwards, ... but maybe now it's safer to report sexual assault. What had been happening before might have gone unreported. And certainly, when we're looking in the military, we're seeing that sexual assault against men is probably vastly underreported. So we need to think about how we understand it ... .}} 

Graves interjected that we really don't ''know'' the impact of the training on sexual assault. What we know is the impact on ''reported'' sexual assault. Butler agreed. Graves then suggested that data could be collected on sexual assault rates in different military units and block promotions of managers of units with rates of sexual assault that were statistically significantly higher. 

Butler responded, {{quote|

Sure, I don't think people should be rewarded for sexual assault. ... 

Our justice system is slow. It's sluggish at best, and quite often, the victims are the ones who are blamed: &quot;Just don't be in that outfit. Just don't be in that space. Just don't be alone. Just don't have a drink. Just don't ... . 

But if that is going to happen, don't reward it. We need to do a major culture shift within and outside the armed forces of how we structure and organize our understandings of and responses to sexual assault.}} 

=== In sum ===

When asked for parting comments, Butler replied, {{quote|

We should bring media literacy both to our classrooms and to our dinner table conversations. 

We should be talking about this regularly. ... The last chapter of ''The Judgment of Gender'' has activities for how to both analyze and take action of the treatment of women in media. ... 

I really do want this to be part of the oxygen that we breathe, the water that we swim in, to counter the unfair media treatments that so many of us get. I'm more than excited to continue this conversation in any space possible.}}

      <text bytes="3288" sha1="d65zx67ejt9rql44wfwhjsfp1stzn30" xml:space="preserve">Articles written by E. T. Whittaker in 1903 and 1904 suggest the natural generalization of 3-space as ternary probability. This is proven using basic mathematical statements and an associated transition as main eigenvalues from the product of the symmetric group S&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and the Klein four-group Z&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; to the dihedral of order 12 D&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt; and related properties. A generalization of physical theory is suggested.

==Ternary Probability==

The work of E. T. Whittaker and the property of infinite tetration unique to √2 suggest that there are methods for computing wavefunctions by tetration, hyperoperations, interpolation and ternary probability. The gauge used by Whittaker to eliminate the orthogonal sphericity term (Ψ) and reduce the electromagnetic wave from six degrees of freedom to two degrees of freedom (F,G) (Whittaker, 1904) is equivalent with the following statement under the assumptions of calculus and mass-energy: 

&lt;math&gt;(1) \surd3x = x^{-\surd3}


&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;x=0.818
&lt;/math&gt;


&lt;math&gt;G-0.818G

&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;= 1.214*10^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

&lt;/math&gt;

Eliminating Ψ is equivalent with gaining an order of magnitude and eliminating G, permitting coordinate shifting and ternary probability and producing the MOND acceleration constant. The MOND acceleration constant can also be produced using physical variables and their assumptions (Titleman, 2026).

Additionally, consider the statements:

&lt;math&gt;(2) x+y=\surd7&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;x-y=\surd3&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;xy=1&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(3)\sqrt[3]{8}=2
&lt;/math&gt;

Due to asymmetry in Cartesian coordinates (Whittaker, 1903), it is feasible to consider (2) analogous to vector calculus in 3-space if xy is considered real as √−1 is imaginary, x+y or x-y are considered vectors in a 3-parameter space, and (3) is real.

This language of ternary probability is suggested by (2) being commensurate with the transition from the product of the symmetric group S&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and the Klein four-group Z&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (abelian-by-cyclic, nilpotent) to the dihedral of order 12 D&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt; (non-abelian, solvable) in Galois theory (Du et al., 2021). The former permutes coordinates independently as a form of orthogonal sphericity xy⊥zr (Titleman, 2026) while the latter combines a primary rotation of order 6 with a single axis reflection of order 2 as a form of wave propagation (Whittaker, 1904).

Classical 3-space is thus only one paradigm for modeling trajectories. Mathematical assumptions of cartesian symmetry and kinematics require matching physical assumptions, such as those made in the Clausius formulation for Root Mean Square (RMS) velocity.

==Overview==
{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}Consider this Scenario

Jordan signed up for a gym membership at the start of the year, determined to improve their physical and mental health. He bought new workout clothes, saved a list of routines and even told his friends he was committed to exercising.  but when his alarm went off at 6:30am he hit snooze. Telling himself he will simply go after work instead but by 5pm he's to tired to go. the idea of lifting weights is to emotionally heavy and stress inducing for him, so Jordan chooses to stay home and watch a TV show. Each time Jordans alarm goes off and he ignores it, even while knowing going to the gym would be healthier and help him gain confidence, the short term comfort of staying home out ways those feelings. 

Jordan isn't lazy he his experiencing akrasia, a predictable motivational and emotional conflict between long term goals and short term impulses. {{RoundBoxBottom}}

This Chapter will explain and explore why people act against their better judgement described by psychological explanations of self control and regulation, motivational deficits and emotional avoidance. 
'''Explanation of the problem:'''  Akrasia matters because it undermines goal achievement, wellbeing, and personal growth. It reflects a tension between reflective, value based intensions and impulsive, emotionally driven tendencies. psychological science provides tools for understanding this conflict by examining self regulation, and cognitive biases. for Jordan this explains why he struggles to go t the gym despite it being his long term goal.

This Chapter will explain and explore why people act against their better judgement described by psychological explanations of self control and regulation, motivational deficits and emotional avoidance. 

* '''Explanation of the problem:''' akrasia is a problem because it affects many areas of  persons life such as academics, health choices, financial decisions and relationships. People often intend to make choices that align with their values and goals, yet often make choices that are the opposite. this gap between intention and action can lead to issues with wellbeing and a sense of success in life ( reference) 
* introduce psychological importance:( why it matters)  Akrasia matters because it undermines goal achievement, wellbeing, and personal growth. It reflects a tension between reflective, value based intensions and impulsive, emotionally driven tendencies. psychological science provides tools for understanding this conflict by examining self regulation, and cognitive biases (reference). 
* Introduce motivation in relation to topic 
* Introduce emotion in relation to topic

==Overview==
{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}'''Consider this scenario'''

Jordan signed up for a gym membership at the start of the year, determined to improve their physical and mental health. He bought new workout clothes, saved a list of routines and even told his friends he was committed to exercising.  but when his alarm went off at 6:30am he hit snooze. Telling himself he will simply go after work instead but by 5pm he's to tired to go. the idea of lifting weights is to emotionally heavy and stress inducing for him, so Jordan chooses to stay home and watch a TV show. Each time Jordans alarm goes off and he ignores it, even while knowing going to the gym would be healthier and help him gain confidence, the short term comfort of staying home out ways those feelings. 

Jordan isn't lazy he his experiencing akrasia, a predictable motivational and emotional conflict between long term goals and short term impulses. {{RoundBoxBottom}}

This Chapter will explain and explore why people act against their better judgement described by psychological explanations of self control and regulation, motivational deficits and emotional avoidance. 

* '''Explanation of the problem:''' akrasia is a problem because it affects many areas of  persons life such as academics, health choices, financial decisions and relationships. People often intend to make choices that align with their values and goals, yet often make choices that are the opposite. this gap between intention and action can lead to issues with wellbeing and a sense of success in life ( reference) 
* introduce psychological importance:( why it matters)  Akrasia matters because it undermines goal achievement, wellbeing, and personal growth. It reflects a tension between reflective, value based intensions and impulsive, emotionally driven tendencies. psychological science provides tools for understanding this conflict by examining self regulation, and cognitive biases (reference). 
* Introduce motivation in relation to topic 
* Introduce emotion in relation to topic

'''Focus questions'''

# What is akrasia?
# What psychological processes contribute to akrasia and the conflict between long term and short term impulses?
# How do motivation and emotion interact to influence why people act against their better judgement ? 
# What evidence based strategies can help people reduce akrasia and act more consistently in line with their goals ?

'''Focus questions'''

# What is akrasia?
# What psychological processes contribute to akrasia and the conflict between long term and short term impulses?

==Headings==
Use this heading structure:
* [[#Overview|Overview]]
* 3 to 6 major headings tailored to the topic; can have sub-headings, but:
** avoid having only one sub-heading
** provide an introductory paragraph before breaking into sub-sections
* [[#Conclusion|Conclusion]]
* See also
* References
* External links

==Key points==
For the topic development, for each heading and sub-heading:
* Provide at least three bullet-points, including for the Overview and Conclusion
* Include key citations

== Akrasia ==

* General definition/introduction:  acting against ones better judgement ect... &quot;i know i shouldn't do this but&quot;

* Historical background: originates from ancient Greek philosophy. particularly Aristotle, who used the term akrasia to describe &quot; weakness of will&quot; ect.. Describe what he argued about failure to understand emotions and impulses.
* Describe what the history  laid a foundation for in modern explanations 


== Akrasia as a motivational and emotional conflict ==
'''Focus question''': what psychological processes contribute to akrasia and the conflict between long term and short term impulses?

'''Overview/introduction to argument'''; 

Explain how akrasia arises from competing internal processes. Discuss the tension between long‑term goals and short‑term impulses. Introduce the idea that akrasia is not simply “laziness” but a predictable psychological phenomenon.

describe long term and short term impulses/ goals are:  ( I want to finish my degree vs I want to just relax right now) 

* immediate emotional or motivational states vs reflective value-based reasoning.
* prioritisation of short term effective rewards even when they consciously prefer long term outcomes. this is especially true when tasks evoke discomfort. (reference)

=== Modelling the conceptual relationship ===

* Provide a model

'''Evidence of facilitative relationship'''

== Self‑regulation and self‑control ==

Explain how failures in self‑regulation contribute to akrasia. 

* Discuss ego depletion: 
* temporal discounting:
* implementation intentions.
* Provide examples of how these processes play out in everyday life.

add figure / model 

== Motivational theories ==

* Explain how motivational deficits or conflicts lead to akrasia.

* Discuss self‑determination theory
* expectancy‑value theory
* goal‑setting theory.
* Show how motivation quality affects the likelihood of acting in line with long‑term goals.

add figure / model where possible  

== Emotion and akrasia ==

* Explain how emotional avoidance
* anxiety
* affect regulation
* influence decisions
* Discuss how people often choose short‑term emotional relief over long‑term outcomes.

add figure / model  

== How dose this understanding of the psychological science behind akrasia help those experiencing this ( write title to something more formal) ==
'''Focus question''': what strategies are there to reduce to act of akrasia and act more consciously in line with their goals? 

* Explain how empirical findings support, challenge, or refine theoretical models
* Show how integrated knowledge helps explain akrasia more accurately. 
* Discuss implications for improving motivational and emotional lives.

Present practical, research‑supported strategies for reducing akrasia, such as: 

* Implementation intentions 

* Emotion regulation techniques 

* Reducing cognitive load 

* Structuring environments to support long‑term goals 

* Enhancing autonomous motivation 

Explain why each strategy works and how individuals can apply it. 

==Figures==

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
[[File:A picture is worth a thousand words.jpg|right|thumb|150px|'''Figure 1'''. Use a captioned image to illustrate the scenario]]

; Imagine this ... or Scenario ... or Case study or ... ?)

Start with an engaging [[#Scenarios|scenario, example, or case study]] which illustrates the problem and engages reader interest.

Present the scenario in a [[#Feature box|feature box]]. To change the box colour:
# Edit source
# Change &quot;theme=3&quot; to another number

Include an image and cite it (e.g., see Figure 1).

{{RoundBoxBottom}}

The Overview section should provide:

# '''Scenario''': A short, engaging case study or real-world example in a feature box, with an accompanying image (see above)
# '''Explanation of the problem, issue, or topc''': Briefly explain the problem, why it is important, and outline how psychological science can help
# '''Focus questions''': Unpack the sub-title into focus questions in a feature box

Recommended length: 180 to 330 words.

This template provides key headings, examples, and tips for each section. Gradually remove this generic information as the chapter develops. It is OK to retain some of the template material for the topic development, but it should all be removed for the final book chapter.

Pequenas vitórias frequentes podem influenciar a forma como uma pessoa avalia o resultado financeiro de uma sessão. Uma recompensa de 2 ou 3 euros pode ser percebida como um sinal positivo, mesmo quando o saldo global continua negativo. Num ambiente casino, por exemplo, dez vitórias de 3 euros correspondem a 30 euros recebidos, mas se durante o mesmo período forem utilizados 50 euros, o resultado líquido continua a ser uma perda de 20 euros. Especialistas em psicologia económica explicam que as pessoas tendem a prestar mais atenção a acontecimentos positivos, imediatos e visíveis do que à acumulação de várias perdas pequenas. Por isso, contar o número de vitórias não permite determinar, por si só, o resultado financeiro real.

Pequenas vitórias frequentes podem influenciar a forma como uma pessoa avalia o resultado financeiro de uma sessão. Uma recompensa de 2 ou 3 euros pode ser percebida como um sinal positivo, mesmo quando o saldo global continua negativo. Num ambiente casino, por exemplo, dez vitórias de 3 euros correspondem a 30 euros recebidos, mas se durante o mesmo período forem utilizados 50 euros, o resultado líquido continua a ser uma perda de 20 euros. Especialistas em psicologia económica explicam que as pessoas tendem a prestar mais atenção a acontecimentos positivos, imediatos e visíveis do que à acumulação de várias perdas pequenas. Por isso, contar o número de vitórias não permite determinar, por si só, o resultado financeiro real.

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Edit the title and sub-title to match the wording (and casing) in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2025|2026 list of topics]].&lt;br /&gt;[[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|Seek approval]] for any changes.&lt;br /&gt;Do not include your name (authorship is as per [[Special:History/{{PAGENAME}}|the page history]]).&lt;/div&gt;
__TOC__


== Overview ==
{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
[[File:A picture is worth a thousand words.jpg|right|thumb|150px|'''Figure 1'''. Use a captioned image to illustrate the scenario]]

; Imagine this ... or Scenario ... or Case study or ... ?)

Start with an engaging [[#Scenarios|scenario, example, or case study]] which illustrates the problem and engages reader interest.

Present the scenario in a [[#Feature box|feature box]]. To change the box colour:
# Edit source
# Change &quot;theme=3&quot; to another number

Include an image and cite it (e.g., see Figure 1).

{{RoundBoxBottom}}

The Overview section should provide:

# '''Scenario''': A short, engaging case study or real-world example in a feature box, with an accompanying image (see above)
# '''Explanation of the problem, issue, or topc''': Briefly explain the problem, why it is important, and outline how psychological science can help
# '''Focus questions''': Unpack the sub-title into focus questions in a feature box

Recommended length: 180 to 330 words.

This template provides key headings, examples, and tips for each section. Gradually remove this generic information as the chapter develops. It is OK to retain some of the template material for the topic development, but it should all be removed for the final book chapter.

Key resources:

* [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials/Wiki editing|Tutorial 02]] explains about how to edit
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|Topic development guidelines]]
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter|Book chapter guidelines]]

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
'''Focus questions'''

Break the sub-title down into three to five [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Focus questions|focus questions]]. Align the top-level headings with these focus questions.
* What is the first focus question?
* What is the second focus question? 
* What is the third focus question?

Ask [[w:Open-ended question|open-ended]] focus questions. For example:
* Is there a relationship between weather and criminal behaviour? (closed-ended)
* What is the relationship between weather and criminal behaviour? (open-ended)
{{RoundBoxBottom}}

== Headings ==
Use this heading structure:

* [[User talk:StretchBeyond#Overview|Overview]]
* 3 to 6 major headings tailored to the topic; can have sub-headings, but:
** avoid having only one sub-heading
** provide an introductory paragraph before breaking into sub-sections
* [[User talk:StretchBeyond#Conclusion|Conclusion]]
* See also
* References
* External links

== Key points ==
For the topic development, for each heading and sub-heading:

* Provide at least three bullet-points, including for the Overview and Conclusion
* Include key citations

== Figures ==
[[File:Thought_bubble.svg|right|thumb|157x157px|'''Figure 2'''. Example of an image with a descriptive caption.]]

* Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
* Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, video, audio, etc.
* Embed figures throughout the chapter, starting with the scenario in the Overview section
* Caption figures (use '''Figure #'''. and explain the relevance of the image to the text)
* Images must be embedded from [[c:|Wikimedia Commons]]
* Images can be uploaded to [[c:|Wikimedia Commons]] if they are openly licensed
* Cite each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)

== Learning features ==
Interactive learning features help to bring book chapters to life and can be embedded throughout the chapter.

{{anchor|Scenarios}}

; Scenarios

* Scenarios, case studies, or examples describe concepts in action
* Can be real or fictional; if real, provide citations
* Can be split into multiple boxes throughout a chapter (e.g., to illustrate different theories or stages)
* Present using [[User talk:StretchBeyond#Feature boxes|feature boxes]]

{{anchor|Feature box}}

; Feature boxes

* Highlight key content using [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|feature boxes]], but don't overuse, otherwise they lose their effect
* Consider using feature boxes for:
** [[User talk:StretchBeyond#Scenarios|Scenarios]], case studies, or examples
** Focus questions
** Tips
** Quiz questions
** Take-home messages

; Embedded links

* When key words are introduced, use [[Help:Links|interwiki links]] to:
** Wikipedia articles (e.g., &quot;An early psychological view [[wikipedia:Dreams|dreams]]) of dreams was provided by [[wikipedia:Sigmund Freud|Sigmund Freud]]&quot;) or
** Related book chapters (e.g., &quot;If you're feeling stuck, check out the chapter about [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Writer's block|writer's block]]&quot;)

{{anchor|Tables}}

; Tables

* Use to tables to organise and summarise information
* Cite each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
* Tables should be captioned
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|More example tables]] which can be adapted

'''Table 1''' 

A Descriptive Caption Which Explains The Table Contents and its Relevance to the Text e.g., 

The 2 x 2 Johari Window Model Showing Knowing x Self/Other

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;margin: auto;&quot;
!
!Known to self
!Not known to self
|-
|'''Known to others'''
|Open area
|Blind spot
|-
|'''Not known to others'''
|Hidden area
|Unknown
|}

; Quizzes

* Using one or two quiz questions for each main section is better than a long quiz at the end
* Quiz ''conceptual'' understanding, rather than trivia. Ask about important information such as take-home messages
* Ask easy rather than hard questions
* Different types of quiz questions are possible; see [[Help:Quiz|Quiz]]

Example simple quiz questions. Choose your answers and click &quot;Submit&quot;:
&lt;quiz display=&quot;simple&quot;&gt;
{The purpose of quizzes is to provide an interactive learning feature:
|type=&quot;()&quot;}
+ True
- False

{Long and complex quiz questions are recommended:
|type=&quot;()&quot;}
- True
+ False
&lt;/quiz&gt;

== Conclusion ==

* The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
* Draft clear take-home message(s), even at the topic development stage
* Together, the [[User talk:StretchBeyond#Overview|Overview]] and Conclusion should summarise the problem, its significance, and how psychological science contributes to understanding and addressing it
* Recommended length: 150 to 330 words

{{tip|Suggestions for this section:
* What is the answer to the sub-title question based on psychological theory and research?
* What are the answers to the focus questions?
* What are the practical, take-home messages?}}

__TOC__

==Overview==
{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
[[File:A picture is worth a thousand words.jpg|right|thumb|150px|'''Figure 1'''. Use a captioned image to illustrate the scenario]]

; Imagine this ... or Scenario ... or Case study or ... ?)

Start with an engaging [[#Scenarios|scenario, example, or case study]] which illustrates the problem and engages reader interest.

Present the scenario in a [[#Feature box|feature box]]. To change the box colour:
# Edit source
# Change &quot;theme=3&quot; to another number

Include an image and cite it (e.g., see Figure 1).

{{RoundBoxBottom}}

The Overview section should provide:
# '''Scenario''': A short, engaging case study or real-world example in a feature box, with an accompanying image (see above)
# '''Explanation of the problem, issue, or topc''': Briefly explain the problem, why it is important, and outline how psychological science can help
# '''Focus questions''': Unpack the sub-title into focus questions in a feature box

Recommended length: 180 to 330 words.

This template provides key headings, examples, and tips for each section. Gradually remove this generic information as the chapter develops. It is OK to retain some of the template material for the topic development, but it should all be removed for the final book chapter.

Key resources:
* [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials/Wiki editing|Tutorial 02]] explains about how to edit
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|Topic development guidelines]]
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter|Book chapter guidelines]]

{{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}}
'''Focus questions'''

Break the sub-title down into three to five [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Focus questions|focus questions]]. Align the top-level headings with these focus questions.
* What is the first focus question?
* What is the second focus question? 
* What is the third focus question?

Ask [[w:Open-ended question|open-ended]] focus questions. For example:
* Is there a relationship between weather and criminal behaviour? (closed-ended)
* What is the relationship between weather and criminal behaviour? (open-ended)
{{RoundBoxBottom}}

==Headings==
Use this heading structure:
* [[#Overview|Overview]]
* 3 to 6 major headings tailored to the topic; can have sub-headings, but:
** avoid having only one sub-heading
** provide an introductory paragraph before breaking into sub-sections
* [[#Conclusion|Conclusion]]
* See also
* References
* External links

==Key points==
For the topic development, for each heading and sub-heading:
* Provide at least three bullet-points, including for the Overview and Conclusion
* Include key citations

==Figures==
[[File:Thought bubble.svg|right|140px|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. Example of an image with a descriptive caption.]]

* Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
* Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, video, audio, etc.
* Embed figures throughout the chapter, starting with the scenario in the Overview section
* Caption figures (use '''Figure #'''. and explain the relevance of the image to the text)
* Images must be embedded from [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]]
* Images can be uploaded to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] if they are openly licensed
* Cite each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)

==Learning features==
Interactive learning features help to bring book chapters to life and can be embedded throughout the chapter.

{{anchor|Scenarios}}
;Scenarios
* Scenarios, case studies, or examples describe concepts in action
* Can be real or fictional; if real, provide citations
* Can be split into multiple boxes throughout a chapter (e.g., to illustrate different theories or stages)
* Present using [[#Feature boxes|feature boxes]]

{{anchor|Feature box}}
;Feature boxes
* Highlight key content using [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|feature boxes]], but don't overuse, otherwise they lose their effect
* Consider using feature boxes for:
** [[#Scenarios|Scenarios]], case studies, or examples
** Focus questions
** Tips
** Quiz questions
** Take-home messages

;Embedded links
* When key words are introduced, use [[Help:Links|interwiki links]] to:
** Wikipedia articles (e.g., &quot;An early psychological view [[w:Dreams|dreams]]) of dreams was provided by [[w:Sigmund Freud|Sigmund Freud]]&quot;) or
** Related book chapters (e.g., &quot;If you're feeling stuck, check out the chapter about [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Writer's block|writer's block]]&quot;)

{{anchor|Tables}}
;Tables
* Use to tables to organise and summarise information
* Cite each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
* Tables should be captioned
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|More example tables]] which can be adapted

'''Table 1''' 

A Descriptive Caption Which Explains The Table Contents and its Relevance to the Text e.g., 

The 2 x 2 Johari Window Model Showing Knowing x Self/Other

|-
! !! Known to self !! Not known to self
|-
| '''Known to others''' || Open area || Blind spot
|-
| '''Not known to others''' || Hidden area || Unknown
|}

;Quizzes
* Using one or two quiz questions for each main section is better than a long quiz at the end
* Quiz ''conceptual'' understanding, rather than trivia. Ask about important information such as take-home messages
* Ask easy rather than hard questions
* Different types of quiz questions are possible; see [[Help:Quiz|Quiz]]

Example simple quiz questions. Choose your answers and click &quot;Submit&quot;:
&lt;quiz display=simple&gt;
{The purpose of quizzes is to provide an interactive learning feature:
|type=&quot;()&quot;}
+ True
- False

{Long and complex quiz questions are recommended:
|type=&quot;()&quot;}
- True
+ False
&lt;/quiz&gt;

==Conclusion==
* The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
* Draft clear take-home message(s), even at the topic development stage
* Together, the [[#Overview|Overview]] and Conclusion should summarise the problem, its significance, and how psychological science contributes to understanding and addressing it
* Recommended length: 150 to 330 words

{{tip|Suggestions for this section:
* What is the answer to the sub-title question based on psychological theory and research?
* What are the answers to the focus questions?
* What are the practical, take-home messages?
