The Signpost: 10 March 2026
- Interview: Bernadette Meehan, new Wikimedia Foundation CEO
Part 2.
- News and notes: Security testing unleashes computer worm on Meta-wiki
Dormant worm awakes; a sketchy archiving site struck; ether burns.
- Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
- In the media: Indonesian government blocks Wikimedia logins; archive site scoured from Wikipedia after owner runs malware
As well as controversy over LLM translations.
- Recent research: To wiki, perchance to groki
Comparisons continue.
- Obituary: Madhav Gadgil, Fredrick Brennan, Mark Miller, Chip Berlet
Rest in peace.
- Opinion: Interface administrators and trusting trust
Potential attacks are the logical consequence of giving a group of users unlimited control over JavaScript.
- Technology report: English Wikipedia deprecates archive.today after DDoS against blog, altered content
After the archive site launched a DDoS campaign against a small blog in January 2026, a request for comment was started, with consensus to deprecate the site used almost 700 thousand times.
- Op-ed: Why is "Trypsin-sensitive photosynthetic activities in chloroplast membranes" cited in "List of tallest buildings in Chicago"?
The answer is slop.
- Essay: The pursuit of a button click
Volunteering for Wikipedia has its rewards. The thank-button, for example.
- In focus: Short descriptions: One year later
A discussion of the challenge set forth to the Wikipedia community one year ago!
- WikiProject report: Unreferenced articles backlog drive
Unreferenced articles in English Wikipedia - help us in the backlog drive!
- Community view: Speaking of planning ...
The WMF planning process is underway.
- Traffic report: Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds
Death and the Winter Olympics.

Want to take a break?

Or is it.

Bot Bug
For the record on Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, I did notify you, both times, in my edit summary that your bot was breaking the page... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:42, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- FYI, linking a user in an edit summary doesn't result in a notification, otherwise I probably would have seen it. ButlerBlog (talk) 19:22, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry but you are actually wrong... Please see Notifications/Mentions. I get these notifications all the time. I would encourage you to check your notification settings at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo. Happy to ping you in a test edit to verify for ya if it would help. It is helpful, however, for me to remember that while these notifications should work, the safer play is to post on the user's talk page. On that point I agree! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:36, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Well, I have been known to be wrong before... So this would not be the first time. ;-)
- I double checked my prefs and have mentions enabled (and most other notifications as well). But I did not get notification of either of those edit summary mentions, and when I check Special:Notifications, I'm not seeing it in there.
- Is there something I might be missing? ButlerBlog (talk) 22:22, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Well I myself have never been wrong and am completely infallible...[sarcasm]
Just pinged you in a test edit on my sandbox... Anything?? You definitely should get a notification! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:25, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- I definitely did get that one! Thank you. So at least I know it's working... Not sure what happened on the others, but that's water over the dam I guess.
- And as noted, I think I have the bug fixed that caused the mess on Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. So thanks for sticking with it. ButlerBlog (talk) 22:27, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Celebration! All good bud. I used to run a bot back in the day so I know how it goes. Now I just manually break shit with JWB. Any way... Keep up the good work!! Catch ya on the next one. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:29, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
