Policies

[edit]

Each channel/group may have their own policies. Please show respect to others.

Public groups should use Wikidata property Telegram username (P3789) to record their group ID. Eg see Chinese Wikipedia.

But many groups prefer to stay private to avoid spam. In that case you can add a statement that P3789 is "unknown" with qualifier "described at URL" pointing to the relevant section below. Eg see Wikidata that has two Telegram groups:

  • A public group "wikidatachat" (Wikidata Help) with fewer subscribers
  • A private group "Wikidata" with more subscribers, expressed as "unknown" value with qualifier that points to a section below with a "joinchat" link

You can also record number of subscribers (P3744) to allow users to pick more popular groups, as shown for Wikidata.

@wikilinksbot

[edit]

@wikilinksbot is a bot that can be added to Telegram groups by anyone, that will link [[wiki links]] (including all interwiki links), {{templates}} and Wikidata entities like Q42 or P31 when they are used by chat members. The bot can be configured for each group to link to different wikis (even non-Wikimedia wikis), use different languages for Wikidata labels and more. Only group administrators or the bot maintainers can change the bot configuration for a group, but anyone can try out the options by starting a private chat with the bot. The full documentation can be found on the bot's GitHub page.

[edit]

Many of the groups are not public to avoid spam. That means they can't be found by searching Telegram and you will need to use an invite link or have someone add you manually.

If the links on this page don't work in your browser, try opening them from within Telegram:

  • Copy the link on this page
  • Switch to Telegram
  • Find the "saved messages" section
  • Paste the link then send the message to send the link to yourself
  • Click the link in the message you just created

If that also doesn't work, you could search for the group "Wikimedia General chat" and ask in there if someone can help.

If a link on this page has expired, please let someone know so that it can be fixed!
