Dear all,
Two years ago, all graphs were disabled because there was a security issue. Two years later, we still have a message telling readers that graphs are broken and that it will be fixed soon. Two years gone, two years of negligence, two years of abandonment, two years of obsolescence.
The team that should be fixing it announced that the graphs would be live again this month (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T369944). There's not even a plan for that to happen (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383079). Two years lost, two years without a solution.
Last year, a group of volunteers partially solved the issue with the OWID gadget. The WMF asked to stop solving things, while they had a meeting with people from OurWorldInData to talk about security. Seven months after the last update from the WMF, we are still waiting for a formal agreement that, obviously, is not going to happen. (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:OWID_Gadget)
Half a year ago I participated in a discussion about this issue and I said that the strategy was clear: make everyone forget that we even had graphs, so there's no need to solve the issue. No one has proven me wrong.
Two years without graphs. Two years further from our goal to be the central infrastructure of free knowledge.
Galder.

Hello everyone,
We’re excited to share our 2024 Annual Report, highlighting what we’ve
achieved together with our volunteer community in Germany and worldwide.
We are all in this together: In times when populism is gaining strength
worldwide, misinformation is spreading unhindered on the internet, and
Wikipedia is also coming under political pressure, our movement
organizations' commitment to free knowledge is more important than
ever. Over the past year, Wikimedia Deutschland launched impactful
projects, engaged globally to promote our mission, and accomplished a lot
together.
Some highlights from 2024:
* Successful first German-language Wikipedia Future Congress in Nuremberg
* New AI project supporting open-source teams on Wikidata
* Ten recommendations for open AI in education
* 20th anniversary and new Strategic Framework 2030
* Focus on “Wiki Loves Democracy” in GLAM
* New team supporting community conflicts and well-being
* re·shape funding program’s second round with 10 projects
* Record results in the funding barometer
* Introduction of the new Wikimedia Playbook
Wikimedia Deutschland has been shaping the future of free knowledge for
over 20 years, supported by 111,000+ members and hundreds of thousands of
donors.
We invite you to explore the report and enjoy the read!
