Wikifunctions

Wikifunctions is a collaboratively edited catalog of functions that aims to allow the creation, modification and reuse of code. It is closely related to the project Abstract Wikipedia, an extension to Wikidata that aims to create a language-independent version of Wikipedia using its structured data.[1][2][3] The initial names were considered provisional;[4] on 22 December 2020, the definitive name of Wikifunctions was announced.[5]

History

It was conceived by Denny Vrandečić, the co-founder of Wikidata, in a Google working paper in April 2020,[6] formally proposed in May 2020 (as Wikilambda), and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees in July 2020 as Abstract Wikipedia.[7][8][9]
