We welcome submissions for the 2th edition of the workshop on Advancing Natural Language Processing for Wikipedia (WikiNLP), co-located with ACL'25, in Vienna, Austria on 13th September 2024.

The goal of this workshop is celebrating Wikimedia's contributions to the NLP community while exploring ways to sustain this relationship. Wikipedia, a multilingual, freely reusable, high-quality dataset, is invaluable to NLP research, yet challenges persist: language modeling remains skewed toward high-resource languages, generative text models pose risks to Wikipedia’s sustainability, and few researchers contribute tools that support Wikimedia's ecosystem.

With three tracks spanning provocations, datasets, and non-archival submissions, we invite studies on:

Wikimedia data’s impact in NLP

NLP tools, features, and datasets that help maintain and expand Wikimedia projects
Policy design for governing NLP tool usage on Wikipedia
Practices in NLP research that could be beneficial or harmful to the Wikimedia community
... and more!

Important Dates

Accept/reject notification: 30 May 2025
