Build tools that respect Wikimedia user privacy and security — data minimization, suppressed/deleted revision handling, deanonymization risks, AbuseFilter and block awareness, XSS prevention in gadgets/apps, and data retention policies for Toolforge tools.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Overview

Every Wikimedia tool that processes editor data, makes edits, or serves a web
interface has **privacy and security responsibilities**. This skill covers the
Wikimedia-specific concerns that general web security guides miss.

This skill is organized into two main sections:

| Section | Concern | For |
|---------|---------|-----|
| **Privacy** (user-facing) | What data you collect, keep, and expose | Tools that display or log editor info |
| **Security** (internal-facing) | How to prevent exploits and respect wiki protections | Tools that edit, patrol, or run gadgets |

---

## Reference: Quick Decision Flow

```
You're building a tool that...
│
├─ Collects ANY data about users (usernames, IPs, timestamps)
│  → Read SOP: Data Minimization
│  → Read SOP: Data Retention
│  → Read SOP: Public Logs and Leaks

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills/wikimedia-security-and-privacy@sha256:9cc281fcbc2a8136

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.928fb9a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
