Description of the tool/project:
The Wikipedia 25 Easter eggs extension will provide readers of Wikipedia with a celebratory mascot who will accompany them on their Wikipedia journey.
Description of how the tool will be used at WMF:
This extension is meant to celebrate Wikipedia's 25th birthday by enabling users to show an graphical mascot on the sidebar of Wikipedia articles on the Vector 2022 and MinervaNeue skins. This mascot may occasional be animated during parts of the users reading journey. Since the purpose of the extension is to celebrate Wikipedia's 25th birthday, it is by nature time-limited and temporary. There currently no intention of leaving this extension in production for longer than an a year after it has been deployed.
