Referata
editHello, can you please examine this and this? I was blocked from a Referata wiki over a misunderstanding, and there is content on Referata that I feel should be deleted. Can you please look into it? I've found it it impossible to communicate with the creator of that particular Referata site, so I'm hoping that you can talk some sense into the creator. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:07, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
Grant to improve and spread excerpts
editHi! After a forced pause of three months, I'm reactivating the grant request. I made some changes to the proposal based on a recent discovery: basically, I realized it's possible to develop a user script that would enable me (or any user) to add hundreds if not thousands of useful excerpts to any wiki (details explained on the grant). As a consequence, I'm requesting some more time and money to develop the script in addition to the previous goals. I hope you'll agree that this only makes the proposal better, but I wanted to let you know in case you want to review the changes and your comment. Cheers! Sophivorus (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Okapi
editHey! Saw you editting the Okapi page. Its' going to be getting a major update in the next couple of weeks so right now additional effort on the page isn't worthwhile until that happens. Seddon (WMF) (talk) 14:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

- The Wikipore Day Unconference was held in July, with about 20 participants - see etherpad. A suggested path forward is the "movement tactic" of regular collaborations, like a Spore of the Month or a Feature of the Fortnight.
- Some newer proposed projects at Wikispore: STARDIT (using mw:Extension:Cargo), Works Spore, WikiCite. (Comment on their talk pages!)
- On Saturday August 14, there will be a Wikimania lightning talk on Wikispore and Innovating Free Knowledge at , followed a few minutes later by an unconference group session for Wikimedians Innovating New Genres.

Wikisporadic Newsletter: September 2022

- Oral knowledge We held a session on oral knowledge and Wikispore as part of Options Space at Wikimedia Summit 2022 in Berlin, looking at options with several African affiliates to link out to cultural topics from Wikipedia(s). Some African communities are already doing oral knowledge documentation like the Nigerian community working on oral history as well as the growing Mozambican community working on oral history documentation in Makhuwa language. This is a way to provide more sources as well as digitize some oral parts of their history.
- Wikidata integration There is a plan to install the new UnlinkedWikibase extension, advancing the vision of Wikisprout and full Wikidata integration such as use in infoboxes.
- Movement strategy Using the Cargo and related extensions on Wikispore, work is underway to create a demo of Movement Strategy activities, adapting Baserow data from Wikimedia Summit.
- Halloween event As a Wikidata 10th Birthday event, there is hope to collaborate at the end of October with Wiki Cemeteries User Group on Grave Spore (see discussion), for maps and in-depth coverage of individual graves.
