Wikimedia Edit Firehose Screensaver
The Wikimedia Edit Firehose screensaver shows every edit across every Wikimedia project as it occurs, over the key-less EventStreams endpoint. A real streaming connection rather than a polled feed — hundreds of wikis at once, where the site's other wiki savers each watch one. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Wikimedia Edit Firehose screensaver works
The saver reads Wikimedia EventStreams directly in your browser — no key and no account.
Every edit across every Wikimedia project as it occurs, over the key-less EventStreams endpoint.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this real data?
- Yes — it comes from Wikimedia EventStreams and is refreshed on a schedule.
- How is this different from the other wiki savers?
- Those poll one project's recent-changes list. This holds an open streaming connection to every Wikimedia project at once, so edits appear as they happen rather than in batches.
- Is a key needed?
- No. This source is fully key-less.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
