Wikifunctions (available at wikifunctions.org) is the newest Wikimedia project. Wikifunctions's goal is to create a library of functions that is useful to many people in various circumstances, but primarily to support the Wikimedia projects, and make editing easier in our projects, particularly across language barriers.

We will discuss the current state of the project, providing metrics and statistics around the growth of Wikifunctions so far. Our goal is to let the nascent community and their achievement shine. We will also showcase our mobile editing features, since our goal is to be a mobile-first project to be edited.

We will also discuss our last major achievement, which is the live deployment of Wikifunctions on six Wikimedia projects (Dagbani Wikipedia, Hausa Wiktionary, Igbo Wiktionary, Malayalam Wiktionary, Bengali Wiktionary and Dhivehi Wiktionary). This means that, on some Wikimedia wikis, you can now embed Wikifunctions calls into your articles. This lets you easily re-use existing content, and calculations based on it, across wikis, helping communities scale in creation, curation, and re-use. The new feature will be rolling out to many other Wikimedia wikis over the next few months.

After the presentation we will have a hands-on, interactive, in-person tutorial. We will first give a gentle, high-level overview of Wikifunctions, briefly describing its supported user-journeys and some background knowledge that's helpful in working with it. Following that, we will lead the audience members in a set of introductory activities, each of which can be done through the wikifunctions.org site. These activities will include finding and calling existing functions; creating new functions, tests, and implementations; and showing how community members are using these function calls inside articles on some Wikipedias and other Wikimedia wikis. If time permits, we will also touch on the topic of debugging functions under development.

As a key objective for Wikifunctions is accessibility to non-experts, the materials and activities will assume no prior knowledge of Wikifunctions or of programming. We aim for attendees to leave the tutorial feeling "at home" in the Wikifunctions UI, with a sense of fun and excitement around exploring and contributing to Wikifunctions, and seeing how this can be relevant to their home wikis.
