Etherpad
- 本页面主要描述了维基媒体基金会托管的Etherpad实例。有关此软件的详细信息，请参阅维基百科上的条目Etherpad。
维基媒体基金会托管的Etherpad实例（etherpad.wikimedia.org）是一项用于实时协作和文本编辑的服务。在维基媒体运动中，它经常用于会议记录和讨论。
请注意：etherpad数据库不适合任何长期存储需求。请不要指望重要的数据会留在那里——协作活动结束后，请将它们复制到wiki页面或其他地方。
2026 database reset
For security and performance reasons, all current pads on Wikimedia's Etherpad instance, the web-based "ephemeral" editor for real-time collaborative document editing, will be permanently deleted to reset the database after 30 April 2026.
The Wikimedia Foundation will continue running this Etherpad instance to support events and other short-term collaboration, but will be periodically deleting data going forward. If you have content in Etherpad you want to keep, please create local backups, as data will be permanently deleted and will not be able to be recovered.
The Wikimedia Foundation are taking this step because of the safety and security risks involved in long-term hosting of unmoderated user content, as well as increasing performance problems and maintenance burden as this content has grown.
A list of existing Etherpads that have been publicly linked to from Meta-wiki, from MediaWiki-wiki, or from Phabricator, from 2013 up until mid-February 2026, was generated by User:Pppery and User:Tkarcher and is available at phab:P89822 with the contents of those titles stored at https://etherpad-backup.toolforge.org/p/TITLE-HERE, if you need a way to find an old pad you created.
In the future, all pads will auto-wipe 90 days after their creation. After any community-event where an Etherpad has been used, any contents that the participants want to permanently keep should always be copied to a more permanent location, such as on-wiki.
历史

移除内容
- 如需移除一个协作文档，请在Phabricator上开启一个安全任务。
