The central Wikimedia portal wikimedia.org and the multilingual portal pages provide central access to the Wikimedia projects. This page provides a list of the portals and information on how to update them.

Portal pages

These are the nine portals that currently exist for our multilingual projects, including the Wikimedia movement portal and API portal.

  • wikimedia.org (Meta-Wiki page)
  • wikipedia.org
  • wiktionary.org
  • wikiquote.org
  • wikiversity.org
  • wikibooks.org
  • wikivoyage.org
  • API listing: Action API (Application Programming Interface) and RESTBase documentation

Note that wikisource.org includes actual texts and is not just a portal for editions of Wikisource. Like Incubator, it contains texts in languages that have small editing communities, and it also hosts texts in languages with very little sources as well as texts that are multilingual.

Statistics

Project portals get approximately 3 to 5% of our total page views. For instance, wikipedia.org gets 3% of page views from many countries, but 5% on average and as many as 33% in India. See the following links for more statistics.

  • Page Views Per Wikipedia Language – Breakdown

Wikipedia.org

As a result of a poll in 2008, the ring of Top Ten Wikipedias on wikipedia.org is defined by number of views per hour, rather than the number of content pages.

As a result of a A/B test in 2016, the ring of Top Ten Wikipedias are now resorted automatically by the visitor's preferred language (as set by their web browser preferences). If the portal is unable to detect the visitor's preferred language, the remaining top ten Wikipedias will be displayed in the order of "page views per hour".

Updates to the statistics on the Wikipedia.org portal are performed approximately every two weeks and are tracked in this Phabricator task.

Updating portals

The portal code is hosted at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/wikimedia/portals with a subdirectory for each version of the portal. All code is managed via Gerrit. If you would like to learn more about using git/gerrit there is a tutorial available on MediaWiki.org.

The data for the portals comes from https://pagecounts.toolforge.org/pagecounts.json. How the process works is described in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikimedia/portals/+/refs/heads/master/data/ .

To request changes, create a task in Phabricator using the wikimedia-portals tag
