Wikifunctions is a collaboratively edited catalog of computer functions to enable the creation, modification, and reuse of source code.[1] [2] It is closely related to Abstract Wikipedia, an extension of Wikidata to create a language-independent version of Wikipedia using its structured data.[3] [4] [5] Provisionally named Wikilambda,[6] the definitive name of Wikifunctions was announced on 22 December 2020 following a naming contest.[7] Wikifunctions is the first Wikimedia project to launch since Wikidata in 2012.[8] After three years of development, Wikifunctions officially launched in July 2023.[9]

At heart, Wikifunctions is rather technical: It will let the community create functions—that is, sequences of computer programming instructions. These functions will use data as inputs, apply an algorithm, and calculate an output, which can be rendered into one of the natural human languages to answer questions.. 1 September 2021. https://web.archive.org/web/20210901123816/https://slate.com/technology/2021/09/wikipedia-human-language-wikifunctions.html.
