Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026

Hello! I came across your name on a previous Wikimedia hackathon participant page, so I thought you might be interested in this.

We're organizing the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026, taking place on 13–14 March 2026 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. It's a two-day, in-person hackathon for technical Wikimedians from the region.

Since you've attended a hackathon before, you already know how valuable these events can be for collaboration, learning, and getting things done together. We'd love to have you join us!

Apply here – registration closes mid-January or when full.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Hope to see you in Arnhem! Daanvr (talk) 14:49, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Daanvr! Unfortunately, I live all the way in the Philippines, and can't afford a flight to the Netherlands for the event. But I do appreciate the invite, and I'm happy to help out in whatever way possible remotely. Chlod (top • contribs) 14:54, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

GoToTitle

Hi. GoToTitle handles titles with double dollar signs incorrectly. For example, if given the value $$ OOPS $$, it would jump to $ OOPS $. This is due to String.prototype.replace's semantics. Out of all special replacement sequences, only $$ is both available and unaffected by mw.util.wikiUrlencode. A possible fix is:

Line 25:	Line 25:
parentContainer.parentElement.removeChild(parentContainer);	parentContainer.parentElement.removeChild(parentContainer);
else if (kdEvent.key === "Enter")	else if (kdEvent.key === "Enter")
window.location.href = mw.config.get("wgArticlePath")	window.location.href = mw.util.getUrl(titleInput.value);
.replace('$1', mw.util.wikiUrlencode(titleInput.value));
});	});

Thanks in advance. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 14:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh, and thanks for the bug report and also for providing the fix! I've applied them with Special:Diff/1333742834. Let me know if there's any other issues! Chlod (top • contribs) 14:23, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you as well for the design, @TheWanderingTraders! It made it onto a cake for our Wikipedia 25 party here in Metro Manila. Chlod (top • contribs) 03:40, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Wikimod828271881 (08:09, 30 January 2026)

Hello, do you have any tips for expanding short articles? --Wikimod828271881 (talk) 08:09, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Wikimod828271881! You may want to look at Help:Your first article. Though this covers article writing from scratch, it touches on most of the things you need to know before writing or expanding articles. Chlod (top • contribs) 09:56, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from RandomWikipedian123 (01:17, 3 February 2026)

Hello, I am unsure of how to edit an article's name, could you help me please? --RandomWikipedian123 (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @RandomWikipedian123, and very sorry for the late reply! To "edit" an article's name, please use the Move function in the "Tools" sidebar. This is only available to you if you have at least 10 edits and your account is at least three days old (which you should be). Chlod (top • contribs) 17:22, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Question from SQ Mirza (20:17, 4 February 2026)

How can I upload my identity to Wikipedia? --SQ Mirza (talk) 20:17, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @SQ Mirza! We normally don't allow autobiographies on Wikipedia, and have a minimum requirement before a biography is created. Chlod (top • contribs) 17:23, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Question from Nh tuhu20! (13:01, 5 February 2026)

Hello, how to do this? --Nh tuhu20! (talk) 13:01, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Nh tuhu20! I'm unsure what you mean by "this". Could you be a bit more specific? Chlod (top • contribs) 17:24, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Question from LuisGdeP (21:49, 9 February 2026)

Hello, how I introduce a new citation? --LuisGdeP (talk) 21:49, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @LuisGdeP! The process differs depending on which editor you have configured. If you're using the "source" (wikitext) editor, see Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1. If you're using the visual editor (the one that looks more like Microsoft Word), see Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/1. Chlod (top • contribs) 03:16, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
