Hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia articles used to contain graphs as a way to enrich the text-heavy nature of the wikis, but in 2023, the extension was disabled for security reasons. This year, the Wikimedia Foundation is working to bring back basic data visualization capabilities to the wikis through a new secure extension. This session will introduce the project and preview an early prototype.
We are building a new secure tool, which we are calling Chart, as a successor to the Graph extension. It will handle the majority of simple data visualization uses on Wikipedia articles. The new tool will be built in a way that will make it easy to add support for more use cases in the future.
This session will introduce the effort the Foundation has committed to investing in this year as part of the 2024-25 annual plan. The focus will primarily be on how editors will be able to create charts by demoing an early prototype.

This is about the future of the formats of our on-wiki content, created collaboratively under FLOSS licenses. This project will only succeed if editors convert existing graphs to charts and technical contributors continue extending chart capabilities.
