💡 In simple words: A little blue tag shows when an idea on WikiDeal came from Wikipedia's way of doing things — so everyone knows where good ideas come from.

Wikimedia Marker (WM-XX)

Innovation — WikiDeal R&D

Origin	🟢 Théo Bondolfi
Status	Prototype 1 — In testing

What is it?

The Wikimedia Marker (WM-XX) is a blue graphical nomenclature that flags elements directly inspired by Wikimedia Foundation practices. It provides visual attribution and traceability — for example WM-01 (User Groups), WM-02 (Open Call), and WM-03 (ArbCom) — so readers can see which parts of WikiDeal build on Wikimedia's heritage.

How it works on WikiDeal

Each marked element receives a WM code that links it back to its Wikimedia inspiration, making the lineage explicit and honest. This reinforces WikiDeal's culture of transparent attribution. The full marker registry is documented progressively as the platform evolves.
