Trust and Safety Product 2/2: Temporary Accounts are coming
Szymon Grabarczuk, William Brown, Niharika, Madi Moss

Temporary Accounts will be rolled out in the next few months on all projects. Learn about what they are, how they will impact you and what you need to do. This project is very much in development stages. We will be gathering feedback as much as disseminating information about the work.

Charts, the successor of Graphs: A secure and extensible tool for data visualization
Szymon Grabarczuk, Chris Ciufo

Hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia articles used to contain graphs as a way to enrich the text-heavy nature of the wikis, but in 2023, the extension was disabled for security reasons. This year, the Wikimedia Foundation is working to bring back basic data visualization capabilities to the wikis through a new secure extension. This session will introduce the project and preview an early prototype.

"Written by AI" - How to moderate content on wikis in a changing Internet?
Olga Vasileva, Szymon Grabarczuk

We want to make it easier for people to learn from Wikipedia. This will require the usage of new technologies and ways of delivering content we have not previously explored - from generating article recommendations to using machine learning to remix or summarize various pieces of information.

How do we ensure we build these systems in an ethical way, while retaining editorial control for communities?
