Briefly
[edit]- A call for Lightning Talk proposals has been posted for the research track of this year's Wikimania conference (to take place 21-25 July, 2026 in Paris, France, as an in-person and online event). Submission deadline: March 31, 2026.
- Registration is open for Wiki Workshop 2026, "the annual forum bringing together researchers exploring all aspects of Wikimedia projects" (March 25-26, 2026, online, free of charge).
- The Wikimedia Foundation's Data Engineering team announced two new monthly data dumps that provide unparsed content from Wikimedia project wikis in XML format. (These dumps remain freely available to the public, unlike the paid offerings of Wikimedia Enterprise.)
- A proposal to shut down the #wikimedia-research IRC channel resulted in a "consensus we should stop sending new folks there and requiring the [Wikimedia Foundation'] research team to maintain it", but also in a decision to keep it open for now, with operation handed over to volunteers.
- See the page of the monthly Wikimedia Research Showcase for videos and slides of past presentations.
