One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

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.

Crossword: "It will never happen"
Want to take a break?

Comix: BRIEn't
Or is it.
