Two key Wikidata Requests for Comments, relevant for future GLAM-Wiki work
By Spinster
Two key current Wikidata Requests for Comments (RfC) - please provide feedback
At this moment (January 2026), two key Requests for Comments (RfCs) are open on Wikidata. They are about fundamental policy and scope changes to Wikidata and are directly relevant for communities working on GLAM, Wikidata and Wikibase.
The RfCs don't have a lot of input from GLAM and underrepresented communities at this moment (yet). If the RfCs affect your community's work on Wikidata and Wikibase, please consider responding and adding your feedback.
- Mass-editing policy Request for Comments. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Mass-editing_policy
- Notability Policy Reform Request for Comments. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Notability_policy_reform
The RfCs have been briefly presented and discussed during the January 27, 2026 Global GLAM Call. Check the calls' notes for some context and background, a summary of both RfCs, and the points that were discussed.
