We hope to see you at January's Wikibase user group meeting in three and a half hours at 16:00 UTC: https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession

The main topic of discussion will be the improvement of Wikibase.cloud's draft hosting policy, after WMDE's response to feedback from the community.

Details and relevant links in the notes: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2026_01_29

As usual, remaining time can be used for questions and items of interest from the community. If time permits there'll be discussion of the pending 2025 report.

No meeting this month, but you can catch the recording of our last session at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibase_Live_Session_November_2025_-_Federated_Values_Demo.webm

Also, have your say on Wikidata's Notability policy Request for Comments; they're considering tightening requirements, in part to encourage further third-party use of Wikibase and its cloud variants: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Notability_policy_reform

Do you use Wikibase, standalone or in the cloud? @wikimediaDE is looking to hear from you in this survey - as well as recruiting Wikibase.Cloud users for interviews about the future of the platform - see the strategic plan outlined at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/5XOVK76ZL6IMX55JSWRUYJMKZ35VSKRL/ for why this may be relevant to you. (The standalone "Suite" equivalent is at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/QYFWLXGQWQUQM747ZGYQ6Y4VIKHT2JGZ/ ).

Interested? Make your voice heard by May 15 (Thursday)! https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Shared-Wikibase-Survey-Q2-2025-
