List of Wikimedia birthdays
Want to help translate? Translate the missing messages.
This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items.
This page provides a monthly listing of when the birthdays of affiliates and major projects (those with over 100,000 content pages) are recognized within the Wikimedia movement.
Adding an entry
editSimply add this code under the relevant month of the year:
For single projects:
{{Wikimedia birthday entry|project=Canonical project name (see list) |type=project |y=YYYY|m=MM|d=DD |verifywiki=|verifyurl=}}
For other cases:
{{Wikimedia birthday entry|name=NAME |type=TYPE|y=YYYY|m=MM|d=DD |verifywiki=|verifyurl=}}
Examples:
{{Wikimedia birthday entry|name=[[English Wikipedia]] |type=Project|y=2001|m=01|d=15 |verifywiki=w:en:WP:Wikipedia Day}}
{{Wikimedia birthday entry|project=jvwiki |type=Project|y=2004|m=03|d=08 |verifyurl=https://www.facebook.com/jvwiki/posts/3819224138160755}}
Birthday vs. anniversary
editWhile some projects celebrate their birthday on the date of the wiki's launch, others use different benchmarks to mark their birthday (such as reaching 100 articles, active usage, etc.).
Dates on this list should indicate when the local wiki or affiliate community celebrates their birthday, which might not be the wiki's launch date.
Verification of entries
editBecause of the differences used across the movement in determining when a project or affiliate's birthday is, entries on this list should have a citation or link which verifies the birthday is celebrated on that day. To help with quick visualization of which have been verified, these two variables in the {{Wikimedia birthday entry}} template are in use on this list:
verifywiki=for wikilink formatted (w:en:Page) verification linksverifyurl=for url formatted (https://www.example.com) verification links
