Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki

Greetings!

The Language and Product Localization team has developed a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages.

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.

We invite you to watch our demo video and read more about translatable modules to understand how it works. Please give us your feedback on this talk page on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to Module:User Wikimedia project, which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach.

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

Wikipedia Asian Month 2025 Follow-Up: Scoring, Postcards, and Feedback Request

Dear WAM 2025 Organizers,

As many of the language's WAM campaigns have concluded in November, we sincerely invite you to begin the scoring process and assist with the following matters:

• Please provide the list of eligible participants on the Golden Award page, and kindly ask the eligible participants to find and fill the Google form on the same page for postcard distribution.

• In order to better develop WAM, we kindly invite you to fill out this survey and share your experiences with us.

• This year, postcards are making a return for WAM. Please share our Postcard Design Contest with your community!

If you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much for your organization and support.

Betty2407 (talk) 18:17, 9 December 2025 (UTC) on behalf of Wikipedia Asian Month 2025 Team

@Betty2407:, as a WAM organizer, I don’t understand who is actually supposed to receive the postcard. On the one hand, the page Wikipedia Asian Month 2025/Golden Award#Physical Postcard says that “All WAM2025 participants who got 4 points or higher” will receive it, but in the very next line only those who receive the Gold Award are invited, not all. Which one should we trust? Lvova (talk) 18:30, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Lvova, To clarify, those who receive the Gold Award are indeed the ones who earned 4 points or higher in WAM2025. So both statements are consistent, but the key detail is that the Gold Award is granted to participants who reach this threshold.

Hope that clears it up! Betty2407 (talk) 18:42, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Invitation to Organise Feminism and Folklore 2026

Please help translate to your language

Dear Lvova,

Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out with some exciting updates about Feminism and Folklore 2026. Thanks to the amazing support from organizers like you, the campaign has grown into one of the biggest and most collaborative initiatives in the entire Wikimedia movement. Your efforts have played a huge part in that, and we’re truly grateful. We’re hoping to make the 2026 edition even larger and even more community-driven.

We’d be very happy to have you join again as an organizer. The sign-up process is simple this year:

1. Create your local event page (you can copy from the sample)
2. Set up your Fountain or CampWiz campaign.
3. Add your campaign link to the 2026 registration list

The focus of the campaign remains the same - creating or expanding Wikipedia content on feminism, women’s issues, gender topics, and diverse folk traditions from around the world. International and local prizes will continue as before.

Special Prize for 2026:

Every participant will receive a Wikipedia 25 digital postcard as a token of appreciation for contributing to the global movement during Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary year. This will be sent to all contributors who take part in the campaign.

We’re also adding an optional one-time internet and childcare support for organizers who may need extra assistance to carry out their local campaign. This is entirely optional and meant to help those who might otherwise face challenges in organizing. More details will be shared soon.

If you’re unable to organize this year, no worries at all - please feel free to share the invitation with others in your community who might be interested.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss plans, you can reach us on the talk page or by email.

Looking forward to collaborating again,

Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

CEE Spring 2026

Hi! I was wondering if I could also participate in the Portuguese Wikipedia? Davi Moura (talk) 23:55, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello! For now we don't have local organisers from ptwiki. Would you like to be one? If not, I should ask colleagues, how to help you to participate without it. Lvova (talk) 08:37, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. I don't think I have enough experience to organize anything in any situation whatsoever in or outside wikipedia, but especially in wikipedia. If I could participate without that then I'd be very happy. Thanks for the help Davi Moura (talk) 00:11, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
