Artificial intelligence/Policies by project

This page documents AI policies and guidelines across Wikimedia projects. This list is incomplete. Please add any missing entries.

Most wikis (especially smaller ones) do not appear to have official policies on AI, but may still have local norms and expectations regarding AI use. Policies are typically created to prevent disruption to a project, such that AI policies tend to restrict AI use. This list is therefore not very useful for identifying wikis where the absence of a policy on AI is a conscious choice by the local community (rather than because of a lack of necessity, impetus, or resources). If in doubt, ask a local community member.

Cantonese Wikipedia	Wikipedia:電腦gen出嚟嘅內容	Policy	Proposal	LLM-generated content contains issues with NPOV, V, OR, copyright and other policies. LLM content which contravenes policies will be considered disruptive editing. Editors are discouraged from using LLMs to assist editing in any way as the output is currently low quality; while banning generative AI technology is impossible due to the widespread use of it in commercial tools, editors must exercise caution and check carefully any output from a computer program. AI-generated pictures are not generally accepted for use on Wikipedia.

Images and media

AI media policies

Project	Policy	Type	Date passed	Description
Wikimedia Commons	Commons:AI-generated media	Guideline	12 June 2024	Per the Commons project scope, only media that are realistically useful for an educational purpose should be hosted on Commons. Just because an AI image is interesting, pretty, or looks like a work of art, that doesn't mean that it is necessarily within the scope of Commons. While some AI-generated media fall within our scope, media that lack a realistic educational use may be nominated for deletion.
	Commons:AI images of identifiable people	Guideline	15 February 2026	Images of identifiable people created by AI are not allowed on Commons unless the image in question was published by the person it depicts, or the image in question is the subject of non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. Photographs of people that are subsequently altered by AI are not allowed on Commons unless the original, unaltered image is linked and the AI-modified file is tagged.
	Commons:Upscaling	Guideline	6 June 2026	AI upscaling cannot accurately restore images as it is speculative. When done by popular chatbots, the result is often unacceptable for Commons, but quality differs by tool.
Azerbaijani Wikipedia	Wikipedia:Use of artificial intelligence Vikipediya:Süni intellektdən istifadə	Policy Qayda	Proposal	The use of AI images is prohibited, except for images used by reliable sources and disclosed by those sources as AI. In that case, the use must still be appropriate and non-misleading, and the image should be disclosed as AI in its caption.
English Wikipedia	AI-generated images	Policy	14 April 2025	Most images wholly generated by AI should not be used in mainspace, especially for named people and in technical or scientific subjects such as anatomy and chemistry. This rule should be applied "subject to common sense and with a number of exceptions". Obvious exceptions include articles about AI and articles about notable AI-generated images; other categories of exceptions may arise through further community discussion. Community members have largely rejected making exceptions merely because an image lacks obvious errors, or because no free non-AI-generated images are available.
	AI-generated images in biographies	Policy	8 January 2025	Images whose details have been substantially regenerated by generative AI (e.g., in order to create a colorized or higher-resolution image) should not be used, subject to the same exceptions as images fully generated by AI. Generally, the original version of the image should be used instead. AI-generated images, cartoons, or caricatures should not be used to depict named individuals and subjects of biographies of living persons. Marginal cases (such as if an AI-generated image of a living person is itself notable) are subject to case-by-case consensus.
German Wikipedia	Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence Wikipedia:Künstliche Intelligenz	Guideline Richtlinie	15 February 2026	As an exception to the AI guideline, LLM-generated or -modified images may be used sparingly. Outside of the AI topic area, such images must only be used with prior talk page consensus. AI-generated and -modified images must always be declared as such and cannot be used to replace unavailable real images, such as a person's portrait.
Finnish Wikipedia	AI-generated multimedia content Tekoälyn tuottama multimediasisältö	Policy Käytäntö	10 May 2026	AI-generated or significantly AI-modified media must be labeled. Such images must not depict named real people and should be avoided when an accurate representation is required.
Italian Wikipedia	Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence Wikipedia:Intelligenza artificiale	Guideline Linea guida	5 July 2025	AI-generated media should not be used, except to illustrate topics related to AI image generation. They should never depict living persons, and should be indicated as AI-generated through templates and captions.
English Wikibooks	Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence	Policy	14 December 2025	Any permissible media made with the help of an LLM must be explicitly marked as such in both the edit summary and the page's discussion page, and include the date of generation/addition, the tool and version, and the prompt(s). If incorporated into a page multiple times, each instance must be documented separately, including on the talk page.
