Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Do you have a source and a location where you would like to add this information? If so I'll gladly implement— 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 18:29, 18 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Wire is missing in current user base section:

Wire, a European secure messaging platform, is used by more than 20 million users and over 1,800 public- and private-sector organizations worldwide for compliant, end-to-end encrypted communication, including governments, critical infrastructure operators, and regulated enterprises. ~2026-65778-8 (talk) 10:39, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: Since the requested platform to add does not have a Wikipedia article, It is thus probably not notable and will not be added. Theeverywhereperson talk here 11:14, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Is the platform in question Wire (software)? If so, it does have a Wikipedia article, created in December 2016. It'd need a citation for the claims about the number of users and organizations, however. Guy Harris (talk) 19:22, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
