OpenSexism"we must consider the networks of links and hyperlinks between articles that affect the visibility of biographies. Specifically, if women’s articles are poorly connected to other articles, they become more challenging to find. It is essential to clarify that creating links is a complex skill that involves identifying related pages and adding hyperlinks to them, which has significant implications for information retrieval and visibility on the Web." <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikipedia</a>

OpenSexism"Epistemic violence remains pervasive in much of the moderated content online, yet its extent is challenging to measure.

Eugene Alvin Villar 🇵🇭I just saw that I have exceeded half a million total edits on all <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Wikimedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikimedia</a> projects!

Ross of Ottawa<a href="https://saturation.social/@clive" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@clive</a> You inspired me to go look at the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> history run-down. The last few paragraphs are interesting. Looks like their brief foray into casinos, gambling and hotels has been dropped in favour of refocussing on retro-gaming.

Johan van der KnijffHere's a little script I wrote for working with <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> data dumps. Use this to:1. Get information about the dump (specifically the total size of all files that are part of a dump). 2. Download all files in the dump, and verify the checksums.For both use cases, the script currently *only* supports the dumps with the complete edit history.<a href="https://github.com/KBNLresearch/wikipedia-utils" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/KBNLresearch/wikipedia-utils</a>

Stefan Bohacek65% of Wikimedia's most expensive traffic comes from bots."Since January 2024, we have seen the bandwidth used for downloading multimedia content grow by 50%. This increase is not coming from human readers, but largely from automated programs that scrape the Wikimedia Commons image catalog of openly licensed images to feed images to AI models."<a href="https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/04/01/how-crawlers-impact-the-operations-of-the-wikimedia-projects/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/04/01/how-crawlers-impact-the-operations-of-the-wikimedia-projects/</a><a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/wikimedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikimedia</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikipedia</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenAI</a>
