“After three years of development, we are excited to share that Wikifunctions is slowly beginning to roll out. 

Wikifunctions, the newest Wikimedia project, is a new space to collaboratively create and maintain a library of functions. You can think of these functions like recipes for a meal—they take inputs and produce an output (a reliable answer). You might have experienced something similar when using a search engine to find the distance between two locations, the volume of an object, converting two units, and more….

Wikifunctions is a project that allows you to create new functions, run existing functions, and understand how they work. We anticipate that the system will eventually be able to generate sentences, texts, and full articles. Using the simple facts housed in Wikidata, you will be able to write functions that make calculations, provide a person’s age, estimate population densities, and more, and integrate the results into Wikipedia.

Additionally, Wikifunctions allows you to read and implement functions in your native language, be that English, Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, or one of the hundreds of other supported languages….”
