at least three more sandbox pages on that wiki.
To return to Doc Taxon’s question for a second – as far as I can tell,
it’s not yet possible to list all pages using Wikifunctions integration,
due to T392475. (I tried finding some with an insource: search, but it
doesn’t really work.) So for now, I think the only way to find “real”
usage examples is for a Dagbani Wikipedia community member to tell us
about them :)

Thanks for this, I moved there. But maybe this warning was needed in
Tech News last week, otherwise there will be more.

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
<http://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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/17>
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] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368722>
* 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.
