Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 - Deutschland
[edit]
Hallo Aristeas,
bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2026 findet zum 16. Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!
Vergangenes Jahr hat Martin Kraft mit einer symmetrischen Innenaufnahme der Festhalle Frankfurt gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?
Nach WLM 2025 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel in Varel-Land in Niedersachsen – oder wurden umfangreich erweitert – wie Göttingen oder Osnabrück in Niedersachsen oder Tambach-Dietharz und Hörsel in Thüringen. Nachdem es in Baden-Württemberg über lange Zeit sehr wenige Kulturdenkmallisten gab, gibt es jetzt dort für jede Gemeinde und jede Stadt eine Kulturdenkmalliste. All diese Listen freuen sich über Fotos. Hier findest du einen Einstieg in die Baden-Württemberger Listen.
Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.
Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele, aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.
Wir haben dieses Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Bilder zum Thema „Gastronomie und Lebensmittelhandwerk – Orte des Genusses“ ausgelobt.
Außerdem gibt es drei Sonderpreise für hochgeladene Scans von alten Aufnahmen. Dafür darfst du auch Fotos hochladen, die nicht von dir erstellt sind.
Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:
Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2026 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang November tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.
Es gibt dieses Jahr eine Änderung. Von jedem Uploader kommen nur 50 Bilder durch die Vorjury. Damit soll erreicht werden, dass viele Bilder unterschiedlicher Fotografen der Hauptjury vorgelegt werden. Wir möchten natürlich trotzdem viele Bilder auch von demselben Motiv aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln erhalten. Nutze die Möglichkeit, hochgeladene Bilder von der Bewertung durch die Vorjury auszuschließen. Damit unterstützt du den Wettbewerb mit vielen Motiven und entlastest die Vorjury. Weitere Infos gibt es hier.
Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.
Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 17:34, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hallo Roman, warum meldest du denn deine schönen Fotos nicht bei WLM an? du hast im September ja schöne Bilder aus Schwäbisch Hall hochgeladen. Es sind sogar Gasthausausleger dabei, die perfekt zum Sonderpreis passen würden.
- Ich hoffe, dass es dir gut geht. Liebe Grüße Z thomas 13:38, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Hallo Thomas, da Du so nett fragst, habe ich ein paar Bilder für WLM getaggt und einige andere hochgeladen, u.a. Wirtshausausleger. Herzliche Grüße von Roman / – Aristeas (talk) 18:10, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- A new format for the Community Wishlist is open for feedback. You can read the proposed ideas on Meta. This new process plans to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent and balanced across project families and language editions. This consultation is open for two weeks.
Updates for editors
- The latest release of the Wikipedia Android app includes updates to the Saved feature, bringing the app’s saving experience closer to iOS and Web. The update redesigns the Saved tab with an “All articles” view, removes the default “Saved” reading list, renames reading lists to “Collections,” and modernizes the article-saving experience. [1]
- The Reading Lists feature was enabled for all logged-in users on Bengali, Chinese, Czech and Vietnamese Wikipedias on August 25, after several months as a beta feature. Reading Lists will be available to all logged-in users on Arabic, French and Indonesian Wikipedias on September 1, followed by English Wikipedia on September 14, and all other Wikipedia wikis on September 28.
- At the end of the month, some logged-out readers on Bengali, Czech, Persian, English, and Polish Wikipedias using the Minerva skin on mobile will see an updated navigation bar in an A/B test. The test will compare the current navigation bar with a new version designed to make it easier to find information more quickly. The goal is to determine whether these changes encourage readers to return more often. This experiment will not change the experience for logged-in readers and/or editors.
- Editors who maintain redirects, templates, and categories used on redirect pages now have improved ways for finding and curating redirects. Previously, redirects pages could not be searched. Two new search keywords,
onlyredirects:andwithredirects:, now allow redirects to be searched directly and can be combined with existing keywords such asincategory:,intitle:, andinsource:. [2] - The ISBN lookup tools for generating citations were recently not working because of external service problems. Developers are working on solutions. [3]
View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where searching for pages by category using deepcatcould return no results or unrelated results has now been fixed. [4]
Updates for technical contributors
- The domain of URLs for thumbnails is changing from upload.wikimedia.org to thumb.wikimedia.org. The old URLs will continue to work for the foreseeable future but MediaWiki will advertise the new domain instead. URLs to other types of media such as original files, videos and transcodes will still be served from upload.wikimedia.org. [5]
- The Wikimedia Math API is now deprecated. These endpoints will be fully sunset by the end of September 2026. Developers who call these endpoints should transition to alternative math rendering solutions, such as the native MathML or MathJax. Third-party MediaWiki installations that utilize the Math extension for formula rendering are required to upgrade to v1.43+ to avoid disruption of service.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
In depth
- Read more about TextMatch in a Diff post titled, Custom edit suggestions for every wiki: How communities are shaping Suggestion Mode with TextMatch.

[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Add a Link has been upgraded for English Wikipedia users with improved detection of links that have different capitalization. This will help reduce ambiguous suggestions caused by differences in capitalization in article titles, including articles about cultural goods. A second phase of improvements is planned, which will also prepare the feature for release in other languages. [6] [7]
- The Article guidance feature will be enabled by default for junior editors on Simple English and Turkish Wikipedia starting 10 September 2026 following an experiment. Junior editors with 0 to 99 edits will automatically see the feature when they click a red link or use the "Madde oluşturto" option on Turkish Wikipedia to create a new article. The change is intended to help junior editors create higher-quality articles that meet each Wikipedia’s standards. Additional improvements will continue based on the experiment results and community feedback.
- The Pageviews Analysis tool which allows users to compare pageviews across multiple pages, turns 10 years old this year and several new features have been added. They include WikiNav which provides insights into how readers of Wikipedia explore the content, editing stats in Siteviews, the ability to lookup articles belonging to a WikiProject, and support for dark mode. [8]
- A visually simplified Minerva navigation bar is being tested for logged-out readers using mobile web on the Bengali, Czech, English, Farsi, and Polish Wikipedias. The experiment aims to determine whether simplifying the navigation improves reader retention. The test will run from August 31 to September 28, and no action is required from users.
- WMDE Technical Wishes is working on improving auto-generated reference names in VisualEditor. Editors will only notice a slight change starting this week. When adding automatic reference names the numbering will start at
:1instead of:0. Read more on the project page. [9] - All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 23. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [10]
- View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where Parsoid could mishandle nested nowiki tags, causing content to be lost and displaying unwanted text has now been fixed. [11]
Updates for technical contributors
- Interface administrators can configure gadgets from MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition. The definition format has been updated and no longer requires the
ResourceLoaderoption, as gadgets are always loaded throughResourceLoader. This simplifies gadget configuration by removing an option that is no longer necessary, making gadget definitions easier for administrators. [12] - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Gedächtniskirche der Protestation
[edit]Hi, Aristeas. If you recall, we previously discussed this image, and you asked me to let you know before nominating it at FPC so that you could apply some minor corrections. Whenever you feel you have reached a satisfactory version, just let me know. I also wish to express my gratitude for your constructive contributions to Commons. It is truly an honor for me to keep returning to the work of our exceptional photographers — and more important such wonderful human beings. IamMM (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Vote on the rules for membership
[edit]
Hello Aristeas,
you are listed as a member of the Commons Photographers User Group. We are happy that we have over 340 people listed as our members. But we also want to implement rules on when inactive users are removed from the membership list, to get a realistic number of our community size.
The suggested rule is that members need one edit per year to stay a member and at least one upload to Commons to become a member.
Please vote on this suggestion here until September 24.
On July 21, we had our first Wikimedia Commons pre-conference with over 40 participants as part of the Wikimania in Paris. You can have a look at the program and the slides here.
Happy photographing! GPSLeo (talk) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:55, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Future Audiences team has started a discussion on English Wikipedia about a proposed new experiment to show a temporary notice about the new Google Preferred Sources feature to Wikipedia readers coming from Google. The experiment is to test whether this notice makes visitors come back to Wikipedia more often. Preferred Sources feature lets users choose websites they trust so Google can highlight content from those sources more prominently in Search and AI experiences. We are interested in testing this on other languages that Google supports and would welcome assistance with starting conversations on other wikis. If interested, please reach out to Future Audiences on the talk page.
Updates for editors
- The chat platform Discord is releasing a new self-service framework that websites can use to specify how their links should look when shared on Discord. The Future Audiences team is planning to start using this new framework to improve how Wikipedia links look when shared on Discord, giving better attribution and credit to contributors. The link appearance and behavior won't change in the first phase of this project as we want to first collect some baseline data to assess the impact of future changes. However, if community members who are active on Discord spot any issues, they can reach out on Phabricator or Metawiki.
- The Reader Growth team will be running an experiment to test whether compacting article lead sections on mobiles with the addition of a "read more" button improves reader retention. The test will begin on September 17 on Arabic, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and will run for four weeks.
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 23. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming week. [13]
- View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where Wikistats for Wikipedias was returning an HTTP 500 error and could not be reached, has now been fixed. [14]
Updates for technical contributors
- Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikimedia Commons links tables need to update their code to connect to the new x4 database cluster. The links tables have been moved from the s4 cluster to x4, and will no longer receive updates on s4. The page and redirect tables remain available on both clusters. A wiki replica for the x4 cluster will be set up afterwards. The change is being made because the s4 cluster has grown too large to operate efficiently. You can read more.

[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 at 14:00 UTC. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, which happen twice a year. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies. [15]
Updates for editors
- The Growth team tested a new post-edit notice designed to encourage Temporary Account holders to register for a permanent account. The new notice replaced multiple dialogs and a simultaneous welcome notification with a single message highlighting the benefits of creating an account. The experiment increased permanent account creation from 1.94% to 3.66%, an 87% relative increase. The change will now be released to all wikis. [16]
- For Wikipedia editors using the "Suggestion mode" Beta Feature, there is a new opt-in user preference for showing "experimental" edit checks and suggestions. These types are listed at Special:EditChecks, and are intended for early developer-testing and for gathering feedback from experienced users. Administrators can change the configuration details for each suggestion as usual. Administrators can also use this feature to help test their community's ideas for locally created checks and suggestions. Experimental types will have a more distinct visual style later this week. Feedback is welcome.
- The CEE Technical Village Pump has been launched as a space for technical discussions and collaboration among Wikimedia communities in Central and Eastern Europe.
- A new tool, Starter Kit, is now available for new and small language Wikipedia communities. It brings together guided tasks, tools, and resources to help communities get started, monitor their progress, and collaborate with the broader Wikimedia community. Starter Kit is hosted on Wikimedia Toolforge and is designed for Wikipedias with fewer than 50,000 articles. Learn more about how Starter Kit works and how communities have been using it in this Diff blog post.
- The Reader Growth team is launching a retest of the image carousel experiment. The retest will use three new versions of the design, updated based on community feedback. The team will assess results and determine with communities whether or not to proceed with the feature. The experiment will begin the week of September 28 and will run on Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, English, Farsi, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
- After successful rollouts to Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias, the Reading Lists feature from the Reader Experience team will be available to all logged-in users on all Wikipedia wikis starting September 28.
- View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the mentor status script repeatedly updated mentors’ status even when nothing had changed, creating unnecessary Recent Changes entries, has now been fixed. [17]
Updates for technical contributors
- The
abusefilterslist query API, used to retrieve specific details about active or historical abuse filters configured on a wiki, has been updated to support theformatversion=2configuration parameter, thereby leading to breaking changes to the API response. All users who maintain user-scripts or other code need to check if they use theabusefilterslist query API, and respond to any breaking changes. [18] - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Kandidatur Kuhbild
[edit]Hallo Roman, ich bin zwar Juryerfahren, aber bei den Commons-Bildbewertungen gar nicht. Ich bin extrem stolz auf mein Foto der Innenansicht des Aussischtsturm auf dem Ulrichsberg, das Dank deiner Initiative FP ist.
Was hältst du von diesem Kuhbild 
? Ich bin sehr voreingenommen und finde es grandios. Deshalb bitte ich dich um deine Expertise. Sei ehrlich, wenn es nicht gut oder nicht geeignet ist :-) Liebe Grüße Z thomas 14:03, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- Hallo Thomas, danke für Deine Nachricht – und Dein Vertrauen in meine Urteilskraft. Ich fühle mich geehrt ;–). Gratulation zu diesem Foto! Ich stimme Dir zu: Es ist grandios, gerade weil es (scheinbar) alle Regeln und Gewohnheiten bricht und statt eines fein komponierten Porträts der Kuh „Aug in Aug“ einfach ihre Schnauze in den Mittelpunkt stellt. :–) Der Hintergrund bietet den passenden Kontext, der das Bild einordnet und verständlich macht. Das ist überraschend, neuartig, einfach und doch komplett. Einfach ein ganz anderes Porträt, dass statt (wie üblich) das Auge = den Sehnsinn die Schnauze = den Geruchssinn (und ggf. Geschmackssinn) in den Mittelpunkt stellt, was zuerst einfach nur lustig ist, auf den zweiten Blick aber auch einleuchtend, wenn wir daran denken, wie wichtig Geruchs- und Geschmackssinn für Kühe und andere Tiere ist.
- Ggf. könnte noch der Titel = Dateiname etwas beschreibender werden und die Beschreibung etwas genauer gefasst werden, damit auch im Text klar wird, was auf dem Bild genau zu sehen ist. (Die Suche auf Commons läuft ja ausschließlich über Titel, Kategorien und Beschreibungstext, daher müssen diese den Bildinhalt genau wiedergeben, damit Bilder auch gefunden werden können.)
- Leider bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob das Bild FP-Potential hat. Nicht etwa, weil es doch schlecht wäre oder etwas anders sein müsste. Das Bild ist toll. Sondern weil ich fürchte, dass unserer verehrten FP-Gemeinschaft schlicht der Humor fehlt, um den Wert dieses Bildes zu erkennen und anzuerkennen. Klar gibt es auch mal lustige Bilder, aber ganz überwiegend werden Fotos für ihren dokumentarischen, technischen oder ggf. ästhentischen Wert gelobt und gewählt, der Witz spielt nur eine seltene Nebenrolle. Gerade auch bei Tierfotos werden meist nur die technische Schwierigkeit oder die Seltenheit der Art usw. hervorgehoben; ein Bild darf dann schon auch noch lustig sein, aber leider ist das meist eher nur ein Nebenaspekt, der als Sahnehäubchen angesehen wird. Daher – fürchte ich – wird das wohl nicht klappen. Das tut mir sehr leid, aber ich möchte Dich lieber vorher warnen, als dass Du nachher traurig bist, weil die Kandidatur nur auf Unverständnis stößt.
- Allerdings bin ich auch ein übervorsichtiger Bewerter, der meist erst einmal das Schlimmste annimmt, um nicht enttäuscht zu werden. Daher kann es auch sein, dass ich zu schwarz sehe. Vielleicht könnte es helfen, noch ein paar weitere Meinungen einzuholen. Vielleicht magst Du User:Kritzolina und User:Radomianin fragen, die ebenfalls auch mal kühn über den Tellerrand schauende Kandidaturen gewagt haben, was sie dazu meinen. Oder Du fragst gleich einen der freundlichen unter unseren Wildlife-Experten, etwa User:Giles_Laurent; falls er trotz des „ungewöhnlichen Ansatzes“ bei diesem Foto Potential sieht, wäre die Bahn frei. Oder – noch ’ne Idee – frag erst mal User:Frank_Schulenburg, der lange dabei ist, von dessen Urteil ich viel halte und der sich auch mit Tier-FPs auskennt.
- Nochmals sorry. Das Bild ist wirklich toll – es passt nur ggf. nicht in die spezielle FP-Nische, wird aber dadurch auf keinen Fall schlechter. Ganz herzliche Grüße von Roman / – Aristeas (talk) 13:34, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
- Oooooh, das ist ja wunderschöne Antwort. Danke für deine Einschätzung und auch deine Beurteilung des Fotos. Du findest immer sehr schöne Worte. Ich überlege erstmal nach der Einschätzung, ob ich es zur Wahl stelle.
- Keine Sorge, ich wäre nicht traurig, falls es nicht klappt
- ich werde erstmal bei den QI starten
- Aber wirklich vielen vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte. Liebe Grüße Z thomas 11:18, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
Tech News: 2026-40
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Users of default skins on desktop and mobile web (Vector 2022 and Minerva respectively) will now be informed if the search suggestions displayed as they type into Search come from page redirects. Previously, users could get confused when the top search suggestions did not match exactly what they had typed. The new redirect notice clarifies that these suggestions are not random, but related to the search. The suggested pages may be redirects to the most relevant destination articles being searched for. [19]
- Logged-out Wikipedia users on mobile web will begin to see a bookmark button for saving articles to their reading lists instead of the current Watchstar button. When clicked, the bookmark button prompts users to log in or create an account to save an article for later. An earlier experiment found that the bookmark icon was four times more likely than the Watchstar button to encourage logged-out users to create an account. This change is part of efforts to encourage more readers to become account holders and use features that help them save and return to content. [20]
- An experiment will begin on September 29 on Spanish, Arabic, English, and French Wikipedias to simplify the experience users encounter immediately after account creation. The test will explore whether removing friction from the current Welcome Survey helps new users understand what to do next more easily. The experiment will run through the end of October. [21]
- The Product and Technology Advisory Council has put out a call for the community to suggest topics that it should consider and discuss with the Wikimedia Foundation. Editors and technical contributors are invited to add topics to the council's talk page.
- Later this week, it will be possible for communities to configure Edit Checks and Suggestions so that they are shown within additional namespaces, such as a
Draft:namespace. Feedback is welcome. - A bug in the Global Watchlist is causing the page to fail to load for users that have unseen changes on Wikimedia Commons. Developers are working on a fix. Until then, affected users can follow the workarounds described in the relevant help section.
- New magic words
{{CATEGORYSORT:TIMESTAMP}}and{{CATEGORYSORT:RTIMESTAMP}}are now available for use. They are able to change the default sorting of categories to be based on timestamp of categorization. [22] - View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where Wikistats for Wikipedias was not reachable has now been fixed. [23]
Updates for technical contributors
- The datacenter switchover, scheduled on September 23, has been postponed. The equinox exercise revealed capacity issues, preventing the switch of all services to the other datacenter. The process has been paused, prioritizing investigating that issue, to ensure that we continue to be able to serve our users reliably. A new exercise will be scheduled. Meanwhile, all traffic and edits continue to work as usual.
- On September 23, a power loss briefly affected all wikis, creating intermittent issues on both reading and editing modes. This also affected Gerrit. This is unrelated to the datacenter switchover postponement. [24]
- Produnto has been deployed to mediawiki.org and some Indic language wikis. We want to hear your feedback on this experimental product. Produnto allows users to use Lua modules hosted in Wikimedia's GitLab. It simplifies the sharing of Lua code between wikis. Instead of copying each individual Lua module from one wiki to another, users will be able to easily share packages across all wikis.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
Meetings and events
- A Cross-wiki code collaboration workshop will be held online on October 2 at 12:30 UTC, bringing together South Asian technical contributors to learn about Produnto and begin piloting it on Hindi, Punjabi, Odia, Telugu, and Malayalam Wikipedias. Produnto is a package manager for deploying Lua modules hosted on GitLab to Wikimedia wikis, and was recently deployed on some pilot wikis.
