I want to link an outreach dashboard to an already existing program

Hello, I want to link this Dashboard here with an already existing program, kindly review,

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Africa_and_Proud/Afro_Festival/home above is the link to the dashboard i want to link with this General Program of the Culture Connect Africa!

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/culture_connect_africa_2025/programs (Link to the general Program) Linason Blessing (talk) 07:13, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Linason Blessing thank you for the links. You can link your 'Afro Festival' program to the 'Culture Connect Africa 2025' campaign yourself by following these steps:

1. Go to your Afro Festival program page.
2. Click 'Edit Details' on the Home tab.
3. Scroll to the bottom and find the 'Campaigns' section.
4. Click the '+' button and search for/select 'Culture Connect Africa 2025' click 'Add'
5. Add then 'Save'.

Once done, your event's statistics will automatically be included in the general program. Let me know if you need further help! Formasit-chijoh (talk) 18:37, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Linason Blessing (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Problem with programs

Hi, there is not up-to-date numbers of articles created at least for the programs: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_MKD/Wiki_Clubs_2025/ https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_MKD/Wiki_Senior_2025 https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_MKD/Wikipractice_2025

We need the numbers for final report, which we started to create, as the year 2025 is ending soon.

Thank you Виолетова (talk) 19:41, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out. I will look into why the 'Articles created' metric isn't updating and will trigger a manual update if required. I'll update you as soon as possible. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 03:55, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Виолетова a manual update was ran for your courses and the stats for the 'Articles created' has been updated, hope it solves your issue. Please let us know if there is anything else. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 19:20, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Tibetan Wikieditathon event dashboard is not working.

Hi, We are currently not able to access our project event dashboard which is on this link. It has been broken since today's morning.

Than you

@Kaldan007 ~2025-43911-73 (talk) 11:27, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reporting this, I see the issue got fixed as I am able to access your program though the link. Please let us know if there are any other issues. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 19:23, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Formasit-chijoh,

It was solved back then but it is not working today again. Can you please bring it back as i have editathon happening tomorrow at 2 pm IST.

with regard

By using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion @Vitaly Zdanevich, We will add this into our list of improvements for the dashboard. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 21:01, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Dashboard emptied

Hello,

We held an event on November 15, and due to the dashboard crash, all of the data appears to have been cleared. I understand that there is currently a backlog of updates, but I was wondering if there is any indication of when our dashboard might be updated again.

Additionally, could there possibly be another issue we should be aware of?

Thank you very much for your help. ThamaraGroenleer (talk) 10:16, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @ThamaraGroenleer thank you for reporting this

Some user records created after November 14, 2025 were not included in the recovery process. As a result, any students or editors added to this course after that date may not currently appear.

What to do next:

- If you have a list of the editors usernames, please re-add them to the course manually.

- If you don’t have the usernames, you can resend the course enrollment link so that students can re-enroll themselves.

Once the editors have been re-added, the course data will automatically populate with data during the next update cycle.

Please do let us know if you have anymore questions. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 21:16, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Dashboard missing Articles Created numbers

Hello, the Dashboard of the PAMM Wikipedia in Residence program is lacking many Articles Created. Could you provide any assistance on when these numbers would be restored? Thank you!

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/P%C3%A9rez_Art_Museum_Miami/PAMM_Wikimedian_in_Residence_(Jan_2023_-_July_2026) MichaelaBlanc (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @MichaelaBlanc could you provide some example article where the the Article created stats is not included on the dashboard.

In the mean time, I will look into why the 'Articles created' metric isn't updating and will trigger a full update if required. I'll update you as soon as possible Formasit-chijoh (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! @Formasit-chijoh! Also, I have a question. Is there a way for me to check dashboard metrics from a particular time window? For instance, one month to the other? Thanks again! MichaelaBlanc (talk) 16:34, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi @MichaelaBlanc

hope the initial issue you reported about your program showing fewer “Articles Created” than expected has been resolved after the full update.

To answer your second question:

We don’t currently have a feature that supports this directly. The usual approach is to create a new event page with the same users and settings, but limited to the specific time period you want metrics for. Once that event is processed, you’ll be able to view metrics for that desired timeframe.

(This assumes you’re referring to the Programs & Events Dashboard.) Formasit-chijoh (talk) 21:51, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Activity of Dashboard is not closed

Hello, I participated to a onde day workshop the 9th November 2025 :

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Cin%C3%A9ma_Municipal_Le_Cosmos/r%C3%A9alisatrices_et_actrices_afro-descendantes_germanophones_avec_Noircir_Wiki_(dimanche_9_novembre_2025)/home

The dashboard is still counting all my modifications since that time !!!

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Cin%C3%A9ma_Municipal_Le_Cosmos/r%C3%A9alisatrices_et_actrices_afro-descendantes_germanophones_avec_Noircir_Wiki_(dimanche_9_novembre_2025)/activity/recent

I do not understand why, as the counter of the dashboard activity is correctly done and should have stopped recording activity after the end date and hour  :

Début du suivi d’activité: 2025-11-09 08:00 heure normale d’Europe centrale

Fin du suivi d’activité: 2025-11-09 23:56 heure normale d’Europe centrale

Can you fix it ?

Thanks Waltercolor (talk) 16:30, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Waltercolor. It is completely normal for the Activity tab to continue showing your recent edits after an event ends, as it pulls a live feed of your contributions.

Rest assured, this does not affect your program statistics. The official stats are calculated using a separate data table that only includes edits made between the specific start and end dates you set. You can verify this by checking your course totals you will notice that your "Articles Edited" and "Words Added" counts have remained the same since the workshop concluded.

If you have any other worries, please let us know. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 15:51, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Formasit-chijoh for the answer. But all my dashboard~s that I create for my workshops stop the counter of the actitivities of the profiles that were added to the dashboard. I find it unacceptable that people can see in real time all my current activities just by looking at this frenzy dashboard. Can you please fix it, it is not normal at all, and I am the only one who is concerned by this. Why is this happening ? Waltercolor (talk) 16:34, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Sure I understand your concern, I will create an issue for this to be fixed and update you once it is. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 18:46, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Method to delete multiple 'Available Articles'?

Hi!

I wanted to add a large list of Wikidata items to the list of Available Articles, however, I incorrectly added the full url instead of the Wikidata IDs. This resulted in a large list (>800) of invalid links to the pages. Is there any way to mass remove these instead of time-consuming process of selecting 'Remove' for each one? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Trans_Music_Archive/Trans_Music_Archive_2026/articles/available RobinIsadorable (talk) 21:05, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @RobinIsadorable Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to mass-remove articles on the dashboard. I can run a manual query to clear the list for you, but please note this will delete all existing assignments alongside the invalid links. If you're okay with starting the list from scratch, let me know and I can proceed!

Formasit-chijoh (talk) 21:05, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I am OK with that and would appreciate it very much! Thank you! RobinIsadorable (talk) 23:12, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh forgot to tag you! RobinIsadorable (talk) 21:40, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@RobinIsadorable Apologies for the late response, I have deleted the invalid articles, please let me know if you still have any worries. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 18:28, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much! RobinIsadorable (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Delete a program?

I tried copying an existing program, but either skipped some steps or didn't realize that I was doing it wrong ... and now I can't edit it or even join it. Can someone please delete it for me and I will start from scratch instead of copying. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Indiana_University_Indianapolis/2026_1Lib1Ref_(Spring_2026) ...

Dashboard for wikipedia challenge

I can't seem to access the dashboard to participate in the wikipedia challenge. it constantly responds with theis: Page not found. :-( No such course Wikimedia Nigeria/WikiGap Nigeria Challenge 2026 (March) exists. ~2026-16953-25 (talk) 09:24, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-16953-25 Could you provide a link to your program.

Some quick checks:

If you are not the facilitator of the program, ensure you are added to the program. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 11:30, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

I can't access the dashboard to check the participants contributions in the wikipedia Chinemeremprince (talk) 13:06, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Chinemeremprince

Could you provide the link to your program so that We could take a look at it. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:58, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

here is the link

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Igbo_Wikimedian_user_group/Health_translation_project/students/overview Chinemeremprince (talk) 13:48, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Chinemeremprince: I have checked the link you provided and the page is up and available. I can see that you are the Facilitator with 24 editors enrolled.

Perhaps you meant to send this link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Nigeria/WikiGap_Nigeria_Challenge_2026_(2026)/ WikiGap Nigeria Challenge 2026 which you mentioned earlier? That course is also active, and I see you are already enrolled there. If you still encounter a "Page not found" error, try clearing your cache or using a different browser to ensure it is not a local loading issue. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 16:56, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

The link i provided is for my event, i tried tracking the participants edits, but is not coming up.

what could be the problem? Chinemeremprince (talk) 17:10, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Chinemeremprince,

The reason your edits are not appearing is that the Dashboard is not currently configured to track the Igbo Wikipedia (or other specific language) Mainspace. By default, the Dashboard only tracks the wikis explicitly added to the program's settings.

To fix this and ensure all contributions are tracked, please follow these steps:

1. Go to your Program Home Page: Click on the "Edit Details" button (usually in the top-right header area below the stats).
2. Locate the "Tracked Wikis" Input field: Ensure that each wiki you are editing is selected (e.g., ig.wikipedia.org, ha.wikipedia.org, etc.).
3. Locate the "Tracked Namespaces:" Input field: For each selected wiki above, ensure the "Mainspace" (Namespace 0) is selected for the corresponding wiki.
   • Example: Set ig.wikipedia.org - Mainspace to track Igbo Wikipedia articles.
4. Save Changes: Scroll up and click "Save".

Once updated, the Dashboard will automatically run a "backfill" to find and display the missing edits. If you still don't see them after an hour, let me know! Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:04, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

access to a specific program dashboard

I have created two dashboards with similar names, and someone who worked on the last one is getting locked out from the new one. I tried inviting them from inside of the new one (and they are an approved editor), but no dice. Can anyone help? Lapoesienimpose (talk) 17:08, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Lapoesienimpose Can you provide a link to both the programs and the name of the user you are trying to invite. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:15, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

dashboard not updating during event

I know there's usually an update lag from past years we've run this event, but it says the next estimated update is "1 month ago", so I'm not sure if there's something else wrong in the back end? https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/RIT_Libraries/Culture_in_Code_(March_26,_2026)/ Sfaregs (talk) 15:18, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for reporting this. It appears the background update process for your specific course has stalled, which is why the 'next update' time is showing in the past.

I will log this with the technical team to restart your course's synchronization. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 11:35, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Formasit-chijoh, I created a dashboard for an editathon to track edits for the event. It was tracking tracking perfectly but halted after a few days. Please kindly help resolve the issue.

Hi @Seini.coe,The update on your course stalled and it has been restarted you should see changes in your stats in about a day. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:20, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the prompt response. Please I updated some content on the dashboard only to realise that it affected the initial link shared in the complain. Please could it affect the update you initiated. I completed the update on the dashboard before realising that you worked on the issue. Please here is the new link to the dashboard : https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/School_of_Engineering/Using_Wikipedia_for_Academic_Research_and_Citation_(2026-02-02). Kindly check and rectify the issue if my update overrode the solution you initiated. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thanks for your patience. Seini.coe (talk) 18:17, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Wikidata statistics per editor

Hi! The Outreach Dashboard produces very accurate statistics for Wikidata: number of items created, number of claims/labels/descriptions/aliases added/changed/removed, number of qualifiers/references added etc. However, while all these data are displayed in the main page of the dashboard, they cannot be associated with the specific users: when I download the Editors stats, I can only see the number of references added, but not the other metrics. Would it be possible to add also the other metrics to the Editors stats, either directly in the present Editors stats or making available a separate file Wikidata editors stats? Thanks in advance, Epìdosis 09:08, 1 April 2026 (UTC) P.S. I forgot the ping: @Formasit-chijoh:. --Epìdosis 20:02, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Epìdosis, thank you for the suggestion! It makes total sense to have those Wikidata-specific metrics broken down by editor for better tracking. I’ll file this as an enhancement request with the development team and link the issue ticket here once it’s created so you can follow the progress. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 15:46, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh: Thanks, keep me informed if there are updates. I hope this is solved soon, allowing to download statistics that probably are already available somewhere inside the Dashboard should be relatively easy. Epìdosis 07:35, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh: is there a Github I can monitor for this? I would be very interesting in knowing when it is implemented. Thanks very much, Epìdosis 13:40, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@Epìdosis You can track the progress here Its is already implemented and under review. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 14:05, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, page which has to show activities, is opening blank maybe a week or so. Can someone check? https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_MKD/Wiki_Clubs_2026/activity/recent Виолетова (talk) 08:27, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Виолетова thank you for reporting this, I will look into it and update you as soon as possible. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 16:00, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Виолетова I checked the request on the Activity tab and identified a intermittent error where the system was failing to retrieve certain user data, causing the page to fail. While the page is loading correctly now, I am documenting the specific error for our technical team to prevent it from happening again. Please let me know if it blanks out on you again!

Strange behaviour in measuring merges in Wikidata

Hi! I would like to ask a clarification on how Wikidata merges are measured. I am using https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/UCDMonth/Ukraine's_Cultural_Diplomacy_Month_2026/home which, as of now, says 6.08K items have been edited in April, but there are 0 merges. The tracked items are found through https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=44688906. However, hundreds of items have been merged during April, just a few examples here: d:Q3350322, d:Q106319567, d:Q12132691, d:Q81467844, d:Q12100831. @Formasit-chijoh: Could you check? Thanks, Epìdosis 19:57, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

The problem seems not to be temporary, now 6.18K edited items and still 0 merges. Epìdosis 14:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Epìdosis Apologies for the late response,

The "0 merges" issue is due to a system backlog. While edits are recorded, the high volume of data has delayed the "deep analysis" needed to identify merges.

Please click this link to trigger a manual update:

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/UCDMonth/Ukraine's_Cultural_Diplomacy_Month_2026/manual_update

If the merges do not appear within 24 hours, let me know, and I will coordinate a full program refresh with our technical team Formasit-chijoh (talk) 11:05, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh: Hi, I entered your link but I get the message "Only super administrators may do that." Epìdosis 12:36, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

I will request for a full program update and inform you as soon as it is done. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 12:42, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

As of now there are still only 4 merges, which is not plausible. Epìdosis 15:31, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Epìdosis, thank you for the follow-up. I've logged this as a bug and will resolve why merge operations aren't being counted in the dashboard stats. You can monitor the progress here: [here ]. We'll keep this thread updated as well. Apologies for the inconvenience! Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:03, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh: Now I see two different specifications, merged to (1) and merged from (288). IMHO 288 is a very plausible number, so I think the issue can be considered as solved. Thanks very much for all your work! Epìdosis 13:39, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

You are welcome @Epìdosis. I am glad we could resolve your issue. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 14:02, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Issue Accessing Wiki Loves Africa 2026 Program on Outreach Dashboard

Hello Outreach Dashboard technical team, I'm encountering an issue with the following program: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_R%C3%A9publique_du_Congo/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2026 My dashboard has disappeared, and I can no longer access it. Could you please check and restore my access if possible? Thank you for your quick assistance! Africany (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Africany thank you for reaching out. I have checked your profile and the programs currently listed there, but 'Wiki Loves Africa 2026' does not appear in the list.

This usually happens if the program was recently renamed or accidentally deleted. I am reporting this to our technical team right now to check our database records and help restore your access. I’ll update you here as soon as I have more information! Formasit-chijoh (talk) 06:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you @Formasit-chijoh for your prompt response and assistance!

Indeed, "Wiki Loves Africa 2026" is a short campaign ending on April 30, so not all contributions may yet appear in the dashboard.

Could you confirm the next steps to officially add it ? I remain available to provide any necessary support.

Thank you immensely for your support ! Africany (talk) 17:28, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Africany It appears your program has unfortunately been deleted. Because deleted courses cannot be retrieved from our database, you will need to set up a new program.

If you are the program instructor, please follow these steps to get it back up and running:

1. Recreate the Program: Create a new program using the same name, "Wiki Loves Africa 2026." Since the previous version no longer exists, you won't encounter any naming conflicts.
2. Set the Dates: Use the Course Settings to specify the exact start and end dates
3. Enroll Participants: Add your editors/users to the new program. Once they are enrolled, the dashboard will automatically begin backfilling and tracking their contributions made within your specified timeframe.

The system will automatically scan for edits based on these new parameters, so your data should begin appearing shortly after setup. Please let me know if you need any further assistance! Formasit-chijoh (talk) 03:38, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

i cannot see my completed training module badges

tr BidishaJU2003 (talk) 11:25, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello @BidishaJU2003 thank you for reaching out! If you have completed your training modules but your badges are not appearing, please try the following steps:

Check for Unfinished Steps: Go back into the module and ensure that you have clicked through to the very last page, completed any integrated quizzes, and clicked the final "Submit" or "Mark as Complete" button.

Hard Refresh Your Browser: Sometimes the dashboard takes a moment to update your profile cache. Try pressing Ctrl + F5 (on Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (on Mac) to refresh the page.

If you have done both and the badges still do not display, please reply here with the name or link of the specific training module you completed, and I will look into it. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 13:22, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Issue with statistics download: "This file is being generated"

Greetings,

I am reporting a persistent issue when trying to download the statistics for a program. For the past few days, I have been unable to get the data, and I keep receiving the following message: "This file is being generated. Please try again shortly."

The specific program I am having trouble with is: Tradiciones y prácticas artísticas contemporáneas Could you please look into this? Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Paula (WDU) (talk) 14:29, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Paula (WDU) thank you for reaching out and reporting this issue. This specific message usually appears when the server gets stuck caching a heavy CSV file. Could you please try performing a hard refresh on your browser page (Ctrl + F5 or Cmd + Shift + R) and then attempt the download again? If the "file is being generated" message persists after refreshing, please let me know here. I will immediately create a development issue to get the problem fixed.

Articles manquants sur le dashboard

Bonjour, je suis participant à la campagne dont voici le dashboard : https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimediens_du_B%C3%A9nin_User_Group/Art_et_F%C3%A9minisme_2026_au_B%C3%A9nin_(28_mars_2026_au_31_avril_2026)/articles/edited?

Une partie importante des contributions n'apparaît pas dans le dashboard ( un grand nombre d'articles manquants). Pouvez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème ? Merci pour votre aide. Guillaume2001 (talk) 01:21, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

@Guillaume2001 merci pour votre signalement. Le dashboard fait actuellement l'objet d'une maintenance globale, ce qui entraîne d'importants retards de synchronisation des données (un "replication lag") pour les campagnes récentes ou volumineuses comme Art et Féminisme 2026 au Bénin. [1, 2]

Rassurez-vous, toutes vos contributions et celles des participants sont bien enregistrées en toute sécurité sur Wikipédia. Une fois les opérations de maintenance terminées, le système effectuera un rattrapage complet des données et les articles manquants apparaîtront automatiquement. Merci pour votre patience !

Dashboard not updating?

Hello! The edits for my organization's editathon are not being tracked. The activity tracker seems to be working normally, but the total number of edits that displays at the top of the screen has been stuck at 0 all month. Why might this be? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks! Maritsubaki (talk) 19:44, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Having the same issue! RobinIsadorable (talk) 20:03, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for reporting this. The dashboard is currently undergoing maintenance that is directly affecting these courses and preventing the statistics from updating. I am monitoring the situation closely and will update you here as soon as the maintenance is fixed and your totals update. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 12:56, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Wikidata courses with blocked instructor

The following active courses involve Wikidata, but the sole instructor has been blocked on that project since December of last year.

• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/BileR/Africa_Wiki_Challenge_2026_Cameroun
• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WAFTAI/Wiki-N'zu%C3%B1deuh_Translate_(2026-04-18)
• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WAFTAI/Wiki-N'zu%C3%B1deuh_Extension
• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WAFTAI/Wiki-N'zu%C3%B1deuh_Focus

Not only because of the technical restriction caused by the block, but also because of the competence issues underlying the block, I am concerned that this editor is not able to support instruction and training on this project. In turn, this means that course participants are not receiving accurate guidance. I recommend reviewing whether Wikidata should continue to be included in these courses, and whether additional oversight or changes to course leadership are needed. Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 15:18, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, could we please add something to the dashboard to flag when course instructors are blocked on registered projects? Bovlb (talk) 15:27, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

I reviewed the Wikidata contributions of the 20 editors enrolled in the third course listed above. In 8 cases, I had to issue a notability warning. In 5 cases, I blocked the user for continuing to create non-notable items despite earlier warnings and failure to engage with feedback. 65% of these students required administrative intervention for the same issues for which the instructor is currently blocked. Bovlb (talk) 16:04, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Bovlb, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have reviewed the campaign details and confirmed that the instructor is currently the campaign organizer.

I am reporting this campaign and its associated courses to the Dashboard Administrators for immediate review. We will evaluate the most appropriate course of action, which may include removing Wikidata as a tracked project for these courses (as you suggested) or identifying alternative ways to ensure participants receive accurate guidance.

Additionally, I am investigating how we can better flag blocked instructors on the dashboard to prevent similar issues in the future. I will provide an update here once the administrators have reached a decision on the campaign's status Formasit-chijoh (talk) 07:31, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh: Thank you for following up. Bovlb (talk) 14:59, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Samwalton9 (WMF), I'm pinging you here as recommended by @Sage_(Wiki_Ed) to help determine the appropriate moderation response for this situation.

As noted above, we have a campaign where the sole organizer and instructor is currently blocked on Wikidata for competence issues. This has led to a lack of oversight, resulting in several students being warned for repeating the same disruptive editing patterns.

We need to establish a standard process for these cases. I am proposing that we remove wikidata.org from the 'Tracked Wikis' for these specific programs to prevent further disruption. Please let us know if there are any objections to this or if the WMF has a preferred alternative for handling courses led by blocked facilitators. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks again.

I don't really understand how this can happen, that an editor is blocked on a project for competence issues and five months later is still acting as an instructor for that project and applying for WMF grants to do so. I think we should have some way to prevent this. Bovlb (talk) 23:06, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh I'm not really involved in the P&E Dashboard anymore, I'll see if someone else can help with this. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 13:38, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, I will be waiting on your feedback. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 19:20, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Here are some more active courses involving Wikidata where all instructors are blocked on that project:

• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_user_group_Madagascar/Madagascar_Contribution_Haute_Matsiatra_2026_(2026-03-17)
• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_user_group_Madagascar/Madagascar_Contribution_2026
• https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Global_Open_Initiative/Wiki_Clubs_Project_2026

Bovlb (talk) 02:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Striking one of these courses because one of the two instructors has been unblocked. Bovlb (talk) 14:19, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh, @Samwalton9 (WMF): Did we get anywhere with this? We have had additional Wikidata incidents with editors associated with these events since I started this thread. Bovlb (talk) 15:24, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

@Bovlb This issue remains open and is actively being looked into by our team. I will keep you updated here as soon as we have a definitive progress update or decision from the dashboard administrators. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

I asked the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Investment & Partnerships team to look into this issue. This instructor was not directly funded by the Foundation but was delivering training for a funded User Group. Foundation staff met the instructor, who confirmed that they are no longer offering training for Wikidata and won't do so until they have resolved their block on Wikidata. We have also informed the User Group. FRomeo (WMF) (talk) 12:30, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you @FRomeo (WMF) for coordinating with the funding team and providing this crucial update.

@Bovlb, given that the instructor has committed to stopping all Wikidata trainings until their block is resolved and the relevant User Group has been officially notified, the immediate oversight risks for these specific campaigns should now be mitigated.

As for the broader technical suggestion you raised earlier adding a dashboard feature to automatically flag when course instructors are blocked on tracked projects I will keep that open as a development feature request for our team to review. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 13:11, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Edits not appearing on dashboard

J’ai modifié un article et sur le tableau de bord il n’y a rien… ~2026-27049-16 (talk) 15:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Je pense que vous devrez fournir davantage de détails, tels que le cours spécifique ainsi que le nom d'utilisateur ou la modification concernée. Par ailleurs, je ne pense pas que le tableau de bord enregistre les modifications effectuées par des utilisateurs non inscrits. Bovlb (talk) 16:05, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Bonjour ! Il y a actuellement un léger délai d'affichage sur le tableau de bord pour les cours de longue durée. Le système peut mettre un peu de temps à se synchroniser, mais vous devriez voir vos modifications apparaître très bientôt. En attendant, pourriez-vous me transmettre le lien vers la page de votre cours pour que je puisse vérifier ?

"Articles created" number going down

Hi there - hoping someone can help! We have a long-running group who've been editing for around 4 years, and who've used the same dashboard throughout that time. Recently they've noticed that the "Articles created" number has gone down - it should be well above what it's registering currently. We wondered if perhaps it's because it's been running for so long, and that those "new" articles are no longer being counted as new, but unsure! I asked in the Telegram and was advised to post here - any help at all would be appreciated. Dashboard in question is here. Sara Thomas (WMUK) (talk) 16:35, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Sara Thomas (WMUK) Did you just notice this recently or it has been going down for awhile. The link you provided doesn't work could you check it again. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 16:42, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

This is likely the intended link:

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/RCN_History_of_Nursing_Forum/Wikipedia_Nurses_in_Red

Can you suggest specific editors or projects to investigate? Bovlb (talk) 21:08, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Sara Thomas (WMUK) just checking in on this thread. Are you still experiencing this issue with the "Articles created" count? I wanted to follow up as I haven't noticed the count drop on our end, so please let us know if things look correct now or if we still need to investigate further.

Lists of training courses

I'm finding the lists of training courses less than optimal. There is a list at https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training which shows every course available, but doesn't indicate which I have already done (or which might have been updated and I might need to redo). There is also a list at https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/users/Stuartyeates which lists the courses I have completed in an apparently random order and doesn't indicate whether I've done the following course. There is apparently no way to find a useful course to do next. Also, only one out of six of my 'Recent Uploads' seems to actually display. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:59, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Stuartyeates thank you for reporting this. It is a matter of intuitively identifying where to go to see the details of your training progress, and I agree that the system needs some improvement to make this clearer.

For each training module here, if you click the green banner with the arrow on a module you have started, you will see your progress marked as completed for those you are done with, or as a percentage for those you are currently taking.

Regarding the list of courses here: these represent all the courses you have participated in (ordered from most recent), either as an editor or as a facilitator. If a course appears on this list, it means you enrolled in it, participated in it, or were added to it by someone else.

Also, with respect to the Recent Uploads issue, there has been a delay in processing your data because some large courses are taking a long time to complete. This issue is currently being looked into, and you should see your uploads very soon.

Please let me know if you have any further concerns or require any additional assistance. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 05:41, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Inaccurate Tracking Figures

Hi, it seems the Outreach Dashboard is inaccurately tracking the activities from the Tyap Wikimedians User Group for 2026, based on the statistics available from only the Tyap Wikipedia, with about 820,896 views from January - April 2026 (See here). With these figures, it could serve as a misinformation tool if something is not done about it to rectify where the lapses are coming from. Edits from other projects also show far more higher numbers than those being tracked in the Dashboard. I will be grateful if something is done about this soon. Thanks and warm regards, Kambai Akau (talk) 13:50, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

hi @Kambai Akau apologies for responding late and thank you for reporting this issue. We take data accuracy very safely, and I apologize for the discrepancy regarding the Tyap Wikimedians metrics. The dashboard is currently experiencing severe replication lags due to active server maintenance, which prevents recent edits and pageviews from updating correctly. We are actively working to resolve these system limitations. Once the maintenance is complete, the dashboard will recalculate and backfill all missing data Formasit-chijoh (talk) 12:45, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Formasit-chijoh! My apologies for late response as well. It seems Wikimedia Stats tracks the entire siteviews regardless of when the article got created or the editor involved; whereas, Wikimedia Outreach Dashboard tracks only the articles created by registered editors within the timeframe being observed. It seems I am understanding something new as well in the course of this discuss. Warm regards! Kambai Akau (talk) 23:09, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

add integration for QuickStatements 3.0?

Edits made via QuickStatements 3.0 don't seem to be reflected in my project, which is tracking edits for the 2026 calendar year. See for example the editors list, which shows 30 edits for my user account so far this year, despite having run multiple QS batches like this one in which more than 700 edits were completed.
Riesengrey (talk) 01:40, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Riesengrey, thanks for the detailed report! This is not an expected behaviour. QuickStatements edits should be counted by the Dashboard. I have opened an issue to investigate what is causing them to be excluded and will follow up there. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:11, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

@Riesengrey After looking into this more carefully, the edits from your QuickStatements batches are actually being counted correctly. What you are seeing in the editors list under the "Recent Edits" column is not your total edit count for the course period, it is an estimated number of edits made in the last 7 days, based on your average edits per day over the recent period. If you hover over the question mark icon next to "Recent Edits" you will see the tooltip that explains this.

To see your actual total for the full course period, please download the Editors CSV using the "Download stats data" button on the course overview page and look at the total_articles_edited column for your username. This will give you the accurate count of all articles edited during the course tracking period, which should reflect your QuickStatements contributions Formasit-chijoh (talk) 01:17, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Edithatons ongoing but Dashboard not tracking edits

Hello Team,

We are currently experiencing an issue with the Africa Wiki Challenge (AWC) 2026 dashboard not tracking participant edits. - https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/OPEN_FOUNDATION_WEST_AFRICA/Africa_Wiki_Challenge_2026

Edit-a-thons are ongoing across multiple African countries, and participants are actively contributing.

Trying and failing to get the dashboard to work!

I'm trying out a dashboard that will become a long-term programme if I can get it to work. The aim is to track edits to a specific set of articles relating to important Maori books - articles about the books themselves, the editors and the authors. All the books & people are in Wikidata and marked as on the focus list of the project. Many but not all of the Wikidata items have Wikipedia pages - but that should increase over time. I've done the dashboard using Petscan ids with a Sparql query (for items on the focus list of the project), and added a second id that I hoped would track edits on Maori Wikipedia.

Since creating the dashboard yesterday, I made to sure to edit some of the articles on English Wikipedia, and some of the Wikidata items. None of those edits are being picked up, but the dashboard is detecting 16 commons uploads which are totally unrelated! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @DrThneed Thank you for reporting the issue, please note it is not from your end. The Dashboard is currently under maintenance, hence the edits for recent courses aren't being tracked or computed. I will update you as soon as dashboard is up and running again. Thank you for your patience. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 10:01, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi @DrThneed, your course has been updating successfully. After taking a closer look at the issue, my earlier response was incomplete and I apologise for the confusion.

The real issue is with how the PetScan IDs are configured on the dashboard.

What the dashboard is doing: Your course is an Article Scoped Program, meaning it only tracks edits to articles explicitly in your PetScan scope , nothing else counts regardless of how many edits are made.

Both your current PetScan IDs (47703965 and 47703979) use the same SPARQL query and return the same 592 Wikidata Q numbers. However, both were added to the dashboard with Wikipedia selected as the wiki (English and Māori respectively), so the dashboard is trying to find those Q numbers as Wikipedia article titles — which don't exist — meaning nothing is ever in scope.

I also checked your recent edits in the Activity tab and cross-referenced them against both PetScan lists — the Wikidata items you edited were not present in either list, which is why they are not being tracked. It is worth opening your PetScan query directly and verifying that the items you intend to edit actually appear in the results. If they don't, the query may need to be adjusted.

To track all three wikis correctly, you need three separate PetScan configurations:

Step 1 — Remove both existing PetScan IDs from the course Articles tab.

Step 2 — For Wikidata tracking:

• Go to petscan.wmcloud.org, use your existing SPARQL query, keep "Use wiki: Automatic"
• Save the PSID
• Add it to your dashboard course, but this time select Wikidata from the wiki dropdown next to the PSID input field

Step 3 — For English Wikipedia tracking:

• Go to petscan.wmcloud.org, use the same SPARQL query
• Change "Use wiki" from Automatic and enter enwiki into the input box at the end
• Save as a new PSID (it will return Wikipedia article titles, not Q numbers)
• Add it to your dashboard course with English Wikipedia selected

Step 4 — For Māori Wikipedia tracking:

• Same as Step 3 but change "Use wiki" and enter miwiki into the input box at the end
• Add it to your dashboard course with Māori Wikipedia selected
• Also go to your course Settings and add Māori Wikipedia as a tracked wiki — it is not currently listed

Important note: The English and Māori Wikipedia PetScan results will only include articles that already exist on those wikis AND are linked to Wikidata items on your focus list. Articles that don't exist yet on Wikipedia simply won't appear until they are created and linked.

Once these three PSIDs are set up correctly and your course updates, any edit to a Wikidata item, English Wikipedia article, or Māori Wikipedia article that appears in your scope will be tracked Formasit-chijoh (talk) 11:46, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Dashboard is not tracking edits for our campaign

Hi! I am an organizer of a regional campaign in Latin America. I reach out to you because the Dashboard statistics are necessary for us to give awards to the participants who edited most in the campaign, but our Outreach Dashboard statistics received the last update 27 days ago.

I can see that a participant of the campaign, @Gerwoman, has already informed about the issue, so I have another question. Do you have any timeline to address the issue? For us it's very important to know this, because the campaign ended last Monday and we have to give the awards to the participants before June 30.

Finally, if solving the issue is not possible, do you know if there is another tool that, just as the Dashboard does, allows us to track edits by participants, but only for a (big) set of Wikidata items selected with multiple SPARQL queries?

Thank you very much for your help. Best! Pepe piton (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Pepe piton thank you for reaching out and for your patience. Your campaign's program is currently being updated. However, this particular program is large and the last update cycle took approximately 3 days to complete, so I cannot give you a precise timeline for when the statistics will be fully up to date. We are aware of the June 30 deadline for awards and I will monitor the progress. Please check back in the next few days and the numbers should be significantly more current.

Regarding your second question: unfortunately, there is no other tool that I am aware of that replicates the Dashboard's functionality of tracking participant-level edit contributions scoped to a large set of Wikidata items defined by SPARQL queries. The Programs & Events Dashboard is fairly unique in offering that combination. As an interim workaround, XTools (xtools.wmcloud.org) can show individual editor contributions to specific items, but it does not support bulk SPARQL-defined item sets, so it would require checking editors one by one, which is not practical at scale.

I will follow up here as soon as the update completes. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:00, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

@Formasit-chijoh Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. I'll check back in the next days to look for the updated statistics. And thank you for maintaining such a unique tool for tracking participation in such a granular way.

For future events, would you suggest me to be more restrictive with the item set? I ask this because I'm not sure if a big item set like this will generally cause problems or if this is just a temporal issue with the Dashboard software. Best! Pepe piton (talk) 23:16, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

You are welcome @Pepe piton. And you do not have to restrict the item set, this is just a temporary problem with the dashboard. The only downside for large courses is, they take relatively longer to update and process their stats. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 02:44, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Pepe piton Your campaign statistics are fully up to date now. You can check them out from your dashboard. Thank you for your patience!. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 15:19, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Pepe piton (talk) 14:45, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Issue of uploading on Wikicommons

My uploads has not been updated for some days, I do not know why. I have tried refreshing the site, still same thing. Please help Ceentia (talk) 13:29, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Ceentia Could you provide a link to your program, which is tracking these uploads. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:15, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

List deleted pages for Campaign

When we run edit-a-thon campaigns, it frequently happens that articles are deleted, for various reasons (mostly "not encyclopedic, lack of reliable sources"). It would be brilliant if we could automatically identify, check and list deleted articles. This option currently does not exist in the Campaign tool. Deleted articles do not appear in the statistics. We have to fallback to manual operations, monitoring, and retroactive reacting to volunteer complaints.

Example: The option "newness=deleted" could be handy. --Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) 12:08, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for submitting this feature request! Automatically tracking and listing deleted articles would indeed save campaign organizers a lot of manual monitoring.

Currently, when a page is deleted on-wiki, the dashboard removes it from the campaign metrics during the next update cycle to ensure data accuracy. I will share your suggestion, including the idea for a "deleted" filter or status flag with our development team for evaluation as a future enhancement. Thank you for helping us improve the campaign tool. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 14:38, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Adding editors (Participants) previously not included in event

Hello. I don't know if this was intentional or if there could be an improvement, I wanted to manually add some participants to a past event as it was found out that they weren't added to the event. But, the button to add editors has already disappeared, meaning certain contributions were not able to be tracked properly. Is there a way to solve this issue? The event in particular is this one Ultron90 (talk) 09:22, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for raising this! Could you let us know what your role is on the event (organizer, facilitator, or participant)? Also, could you share a link to the specific program? That would help us investigate whether this is a permissions issue or something else Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:15, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I am one of the organizers. I already added the link to the program in my original post, but here it is again: Wiki_x_K-Pop_2026 Ultron90 (talk) 08:51, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Ultron90 thank you for the update and apologies for the late response. I have taken a look at the course and would like to clarify a few things.

I see @Xaosflux requested a sync on this course, does this mean the event is connected to the Wikimedia Event Center? If so, that could be the reason the button has disappeared and the force-add returned an error.

@Ultron90, were the existing participants added earlier using the button on the Dashboard, or were they registered through the Event Center?. And @Xaosflux, after requesting the sync, did the missing participants appear in the Dashboard, or are they still not showing up? Formasit-chijoh (talk) 19:05, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

I was still unable to add participants to that ended event. Need to wait for the devs to let us know if that is supported, or what dependency it has. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:20, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Sure, will be waiting for your update once that is settled. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:14, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

I requested a data sync there, when trying to force add a user it failed with "failure — invalid_sync" right now. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:53, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Proposed throttling of new user item creation on Wikidata

There is a discussion at d:Wikidata:Project_chat#Proposal:_Advisory_message_for_new_accounts_creating_many_items about ways to discourage bulk item creation by new users. Bovlb (talk) 23:43, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Bovlb Thank you for the update, I will keep a close eye on the discussion and follow up if there are any adjustments needed on the dashboard. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 17:58, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Request for Dashboard end time extension

I need extension my the dashaboard https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikipedia_Awareness/Introducing_Wikipedia_to_Senior_Secondary_Schools_In_Osun_State till 31st July 2026. The project is still ongoin and the participants are expected to contribute till the end date. Ogundele1 (talk) 20:36, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

@Ogundele1 You can extend the tracking end date yourself directly from your dashboard settings.

- Go to your program Home tab

- Click on the Edit Details button in the description section.

- Update the Activity Tracking End Date to 31st July 2026.

- Save your changes.

This will ensure the tool continues tracking all participant contributions automatically until the new end date. Formasit-chijoh (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you @Formasit-chijoh, I have been able to update Activity Tracking End Date. Ogundele1 (talk) 06:05, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
