As mentioned in the Wikifunctions status update
<https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Status_updates/2025-04-16>,
please do not abuse Dagbani Wikipedia as a test wiki. The feature is
also available for testing on test.wikipedia.org (and Wikifunctions).

Hi. Go there to the "Special:MyPage/sandbox" page, enter something
like "{{#function:Z11022|512}}", and save the page, the preview does
not work for now. Try other functions, using "Insert Function" in
VisualEditor.

Hi and thanks for integrating Wikifunctions.
Can you tell me an example using Wikifunctions in Dagbani Wikipedia?
Kind regards

Latest *tech news
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/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*
* Wikifunctions
<https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main_Page>
is now integrated with Dagbani Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dag:Sol%C9%94%C9%A3u> since
April 15. It is the first project that will be able to
call functions from Wikifunctions
<https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction>
and integrate them in articles. A function is something
that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a
desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting
miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed
since an event, or declining a word into a case.
Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple
call of a stable and global function
<https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue>,
rather than via a local template. [1]
<https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status_updates/2025-04-16>
* A new type of lint error has been created: Empty headings
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/empty-heading>
(documentation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Lint_errors/empty-heading>).
The Linter extension
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Linter>'s
purpose is to identify wikitext patterns that must or can
be fixed in pages and provide some guidance about what the
problems are with those patterns and how to fix them. [2]

* Recurrent item View all 37 community-submitted tasks that
were resolved last week
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks>.
*Updates for technical contributors*
* Following its publication on HuggingFace, the "Structured
Contents" dataset, developed by Wikimedia Enterprise, is
now also available on Kaggle
<https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/kaggle-dataset/>.
This Beta initiative is focused on making Wikimedia data
more machine-readable for high-volume reusers. They are
releasing this beta version in a location that open
dataset communities already use, in order to seek
feedback, to help improve the product for a future wider
release. You can read more about the overall Structured
Contents project
<https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/structured-contents-snapshot-api/#open-datasets>,
and about the first release that's freely usable
<https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/structured-contents-wikipedia-infobox/>.
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
*Meetings and events*
* The Editing and Machine Learning Teams invite interested
volunteers to a video meeting to discuss Peacock check
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check/Peacock_check>,
which is the latest Edit check
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check>
that will detect "peacock" or "overly-promotional" or
"non-neutral" language whilst an editor is typing. Editors
who work with newcomers, or help to fix this kind of
writing, or are interested in how we use artificial
intelligence in our projects are encouraged to attend. The
meeting will be on April 28, 2025
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Editing_team/Community_Conversations#Next_Conversation>
at 18:00–19:00 UTC
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1745863200> and hosted on
Zoom.
