New Rapid Funds in CEE – global support now closer to your local activities

Hi everyone,

Starting from 1 April 2026, the CEE Hub will begin reviewing and supporting Rapid Fund applications for Central and Eastern Europe, in close cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation. This change is part of our shared effort to bring support closer to communities and make the process more accessible and responsive to local contexts.

You will still apply through the same system (Fluxx), and WMF will continue handling contracts and fund transfers. What changes is that the CEE Hub becomes your first point of contact, offering guidance, reviewing applications, and staying closer to your ideas throughout the process.

We encourage you to reach out to Toni, our Grants Specialist before applying. A short conversation can help clarify your idea and make things smoother from the start.

• ☝️ Rapid Funds remain open year-round (with possible delays in June and December).
• ☝️ For Central Asian communities: the process stays the same – you continue applying directly through WMF.

Join our online Q&A session to learn more (same content, two options to join):

• 2 April, 5:00 PM CEST (UTC +2; register here)
• 8 April 7:00 PM CEST (UTC +2; register here)

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

Hello everyone,

This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as Module:Itemgroup/list).

The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property P1846, combined with the qualifier P180: Q19571328.

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: P14226.

What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from P14226 instead of the old P1846 + P180 structure. A list of pages was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on P1846 to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old P1846 statements will be removed after May 1, 2026. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! ZI Jony using MediaWiki message delivery (arutelu) 3. aprill 2026, kell 20:11 (EEST)
