Introducting Beta Features

[redakti]

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:48, 5 Nov. 2013 (UTC)

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

[redakti]

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:47, 16 Jan. 2014 (UTC)

Universal language selector

[redakti]

Saluton,

Universala lingvo-elektilo (ULS) estis malaktivigita en ĉiuj vikioj de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio antaŭnelonge pro problemoj pri rendimento (Bugzilla: 46306). Ĝin nun eblas ŝalti post ensaluto. Vi povas ĝin aktivigi en Specialaĵo:Preferoj, kie vi elektu "Ebligi Universalan Lingvo.elektilon".

Tio signifas:

  • Pluraj vikioj nun estas kun malpli ol optimala subteno por sistem-nivela tiparo
  • la tiparo OpenDyslexic ne estas disponebla (fakte por Esperanto tute ne disponebla, sed ja mestas tio prizorgata (KuboF))
  • Ttt-bazitaj enig-metodaj redaktiloj ne estas disponeblaj (tuŝas ĉiujn uzantojn)
  • La traduka kromprogramo estas rompita por vikioj, kiuj uzas ĝin por tradukado de paĝoj
  • Vikidatumoj ne estas disponebla por ĵavaskripta API de ULS

Mi ne scias kiom rapide ĝi estos solvita, sed la espero estas, ke "frue". Se vi konas homojn aŭ projektojn kiuj estos tuŝitaj de tio ĉi, bonvolu kunhavigi la novaĵon. Whatamidoing (WMF) (diskuto) 19:03, 21 Jan. 2014 (UTC) (tradukita de KuboF)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

[redakti]

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

[redakti]

I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.

Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make Vikicitaro better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals.

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!

Hope to have your participation,

Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment

[redakti]
Hello all, in response to some community comments in the discussion on the amendment to the Terms of Use on undisclosed paid editing, we have prepared two optional changes. Please read about these optional changes on Meta wiki and share your comments. If you can (and this is a non english project), please translate this announcement. Thanks!

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

[redakti]

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

  • April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
  • April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

Hi everyone,

As previously announced we have just enabled the first part of Wikidata support. This means from now on you can maintain your interwiki links on Wikidata and no longer need to keep them in the wikitext locally. The local links will continue to work and overwrite what is coming from Wikidata. A community member is currently running a bot to take care of the migration where possible so you don't have to do it by hand in most cases.

You can not yet access the other data on Wikidata like the date of birth of a person. This will come in the near future. I will let you know when I have a date for it.

If you have any questions please come to d:Wikidata:Wikiquote. There we have a bunch of helpful people to answer them.

Welcome to the Wikidata family! I'm excited about this first step. More to come. I am looking forward to seeing how this will help you make Wikiquote even better in the future.

Wikidata Phase 2 for Wikiquote

[redakti]

Hey,

(Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this for me where necessary.)

Not long ago we enabled language links via Wikidata for Wikiquote. This seems to have gone rather smoothly. Thanks to everyone who helped! But as you know this was only the start. What is actually more interesting is access to the data in Wikidata. We have planned this for June 10th (unless any issues arise). You will then be able to use the data in your articles. I hope this will open up a lot of new opportunities for you.

If you have any questions d:Wikidata:Wikiquote is a good place to find help.

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

[redakti]
Wikimedia Commons logo

Hello! It was noted that on this wiki you have less than 10 local files. Presumably, you therefore don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. However, this means that users here will experience a mostly broken and/or illegal uploading. I propose to

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

I'll get this done in one week from now.

  1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list.
  2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer

[redakti]


Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 21:29, 23 Maj. 2014 (UTC)

Wikidata Phase 2 is here

[redakti]

Hey,

(Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this for me where necessary.)

Today the ability for all Wikiquotes to query and access the data available in Wikidata has been enabled. This will open the opportunity for all Wikiquote's to start sharing the same data as other languages as well as other projects. You can read up on the Lua implementation of Wikidata at this page which includes basics of how to query the data and display certain properties. This section may also be of use to the community.

If you have any questions d:Wikidata:Wikiquote is a good place to find help.

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 21:54, 19 Jun. 2014 (UTC)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

[redakti]

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Process ideas for software development

[redakti]

’’My apologies for writing in English.’’

Hello,

I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk 22:15, 21 Aŭg. 2014 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

[redakti]

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently adopted by global community consensus (your community received a notice about the discussion). According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the new admin activity review here.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

  1. Gangleri (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, --MF-Warburg (diskuto) 10:19, 28 Aŭg. 2014 (UTC)

Grants to improve your project

[redakti]
Apologies for English. Please help translate this message.

Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants program is accepting proposals for funding new experiments from September 1st to 30th. Your idea could improve Wikimedia projects with a new tool or gadget, a better process to support community-building on your wiki, research on an important issue, or something else we haven't thought of yet. Whether you need $200 or $30,000 USD, Individual Engagement Grants can cover your own project development time in addition to hiring others to help you.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

[redakti]
Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 18:04, 26 Okt. 2014 (UTC)

Global AbuseFilter

[redakti]
Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

PiRSquared17, Glaisher

VisualEditor coming to this wiki as a Beta Feature

[redakti]

Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you translated this message!

VisualEditor, a rich-text editor for MediaWiki, will soon be available on this wiki as a Beta Feature. The estimated date of activation is Wednesday, 26 November.

To access it, you will need to visit the Betaj funkcioj page after the deployment and tick the box next to "⧼Visualeditor-preference-core-label⧽". (If you have enabled the "Aŭtomate ŝalti plejparton de betaj funkciojn" option, VisualEditor will be automatically available for you.) There will also be a "⧼Visualeditor-preference-language-label⧽" that you can enable if you need it.

Then, you just have to click on "Redakti" to start VisualEditor, or on "Redakti fonton" to edit using wikitext markup. You can even begin to edit pages with VisualEditor and then switch to the wikitext editor simply by clicking on its tab at any point, and you can keep your changes when doing so.

A guide was just published at mediawiki.org so that you can learn how to support your community with this transition: please read and translate it if you can! You will find all the information about the next steps there. Please report any suggestions or issues at the main feedback page. You will also receive the next issues of the multilingual monthly newsletter here on this page: if you want it delivered elsewhere, for example at your personal talk page, please add the relevant page here.

Propono pri ŝanĝo de x-anstataŭado en vikiaj projektoj

[redakti]

En la Esperanta Vikipedio nun estis komencita diskuto pri ŝanĝo de farado de ĉapelitaj literoj en Esperantaj viki-projektoj. Mi proponis ekdiskuti tie kaj poste fari saman diskuton en aliaj viki-projektoj, inklude de tiu ĉi. Mi invitas ĉiujn interesiĝantojn veni al Diskutejo de Esperanta Vikipedio! Dum via komento bonvolu mencii, ke via ĉefa projekto estas iu alia ol Vikipedio, por bona superrigardo. --KuboF (diskuto) 13:30, 17 Feb. 2015 (UTC)

Ŝanĝo de x-anstataŭado en Vikicitaro

[redakti]

Mi supre menciis proponon pri ŝanĝo de x-anstataŭado en Esperanta Vikipedio. La koncerna Peto pri komento finiĝis kun klarega rezulto por ŝanĝi manieron de x-sistemo de malnova al nova per Universala LingvoElektilo. Mi lanĉas la saman diskuton pri ŝanĝo en Esperanta Vikicitaro.

Kiel vi certe scias, Esperantaj viki-projektoj montras Esperantajn ĉapelitajn literojn tute bone, sed dum redaktado de kodo ili aperas uzante x-sistemon. Do, en artikolo estas montrite eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde, kvankam la kodo aspektas ehxosxangxo cxiujxauxde. Kvankam la funkcio funkcias por kutima redaktado, ĝi ĉiam faras ĝenajn problemojn, kelkajn el ili mi listigas sube.

Tiu ĉi funkcio estis aldonita en fruega komenco de Vikipedio, kiam ankaŭ interreto (en multaj landoj) ne estis signife disvastiĝinta, tajpado de ĉapelitaj literoj per komputilo estis (precipe por neteĥnikistoj) koŝmaro kaj retfoliumiloj estis sufiĉe primitivaj. Mi memoras, ke en tiu tempo mi ankoraŭ uzadis diskedojn... Intertempe la aferoj ege ŝanĝiĝis - nuntempe eblas tute bone tajpi ĉapelitajn literojn en ĉiuj gravaj komputilaj operaciumoj kaj modernaj retfoliumiloj provizas mirindajn eblojn.

Aspekto de Universala LingvoElektilo por Esperanto

Nuntempe en Esperanta Vikicitaro (kaj aliaj projektoj) funkcias etendaĵo Universala LingvoElektilo, per kiu ankaŭ eblas tajpi ĉapelitaj literojn, ne nur per x-metodo, sed ankaŭ h-metodo, Zamenhofa h-metodo kaj aliaj (detala priskribo por interesiĝantoj). Universalan LingvoElektilon vi povas provi dum vi redaktas artikolon - dekstre en tekstujo dum tajpado kaj por kelkaj sekundoj post tajpado aperas kesteto kun sageto, alklaku ĝin, elektu Esperanton kaj iom testu.

Eblas ŝanĝi agordojn de Esperanta Vikicitaro tiel, ke Universala LingvoElektilo estus defaŭlte ŝaltita por ĉiuj kun specifa konverta metodo, ekzemple x-metodo. Por absolutega plejparto de uzantoj, inklude neensalutiĝintaj, tio funkcius preskaŭ same - nura diferenco estus, ke ĉapelitaj literoj montriĝadus jam dum tajpado kaj estus videblaj jam ekde komenco de redaktado. Por tiu funkcio tamen estas bezonata Ĝavoskripto (JavaScript), kiun tamen subtenas ĉiuj modernaj retfoliumiloj.

Kiel funkcias la Universala Lingvo-Selektilo?

Por mallongigi kaj faciligi la diskuton: La w:Helpo:Universala LingvoElektilo jam funkcias kaj estas disponebla. Jen kiel ĝi funkcias:

kelkaj problemoj de la eksmoda x-sistemo (aldonu vian!)
  • problemo pri HotCat
  • Diskutejo - problemo pri Vivanta antŭvido, teĥnika fono simila al VarmaKato
  • problemo dum kopiado de inter viki-projektoj
    • Diskutejo (nun eĉ de neesperantisto) kaj bezonata ŝango
    • kopiado de vortojn kiel LinuxBordeaux de alilingvaj artikoloj rompas la vorton, speciale ĝena ĝi estas en ligiloj
    • kopiado de tekstoj kaj ŝablonoj al nova Esperanta projekto en Vikimedia Kovilo (ekz. Esperanta Vikivojaĝo) estas problema, ĉar en Kovilo ne funkcias x-metodo same kiel en Vikipedio
  • Helpo:Alinomi paĝon - alinomado de artikolo kun fuŝa ikso estas malsimpla
  • Diskutejo - problemo pri dosiernomoj (bezonata ŝanĝo)
  • Diskuto de KuboF - problemo de robotistoj
  • luterum-kontroliloj superflue markas x-vortoj, kio malplifaciligas trovon de vere misliterumita vorto
  • pri la filozofio malantaŭ la sistemo
    • Diskutejo - Fundamenta argumento kontraŭ x-sistemo (kaj por h-sistemo)

Tial mi prezentas proponon malŝalti malnovan x-metodan konvertadon kaj samtempe ŝalti novan x-konvertadon per Universala LingvoElektilo. Io tia jam estis proponita antaŭ jaro, sed estas necesa konsento de loka komunumo, kion mi faras nun. Bonvolu subteni unu eblon el la subaj aŭ/kaj diskuti ĝin tute sube. Laŭ la rezulto mi sciigos evoluigistojn.

Ĉar plej bonus samtempe fari tian ŝanĝon en ĉiuj Esperantaj viki-projektoj, mi komencis la diskuton en la Esperanta Vikipedio. Tie estis starigitaj pluraj demandoj kaj klarigitaj neklaraj partoj. Se en la supra mallonga propono estas io neklara, bonvolu unue serĉi la temon en la Vikipedia diskuto. Se post du semajnoj ne estos kontraŭoj, aŭ eĉ estos subteno en ne-Vikipediaj projektoj, mi plu procedos la aferon kaj petos evoluigistojn pri la koncerna ŝanĝo. --KuboF (diskuto) 00:45, 14 Mar. 2015 (UTC)

Stewards confirmation rules

[redakti]

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 16:12, 10 Apr. 2015 (UTC)

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

[redakti]

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

[redakti]

(Sorry for writing in English)

When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for a number of projects. Your project is one of the next ones:

  • 11 June 2015: all Wikiquote, all remaining Wikivoyage
  • 15 June 2015: Wikipedias: ar, ca, es, hu, ko, ro, uk, vi

We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.

How to use it, once it is enabled:

I hope it will be helpful for you and allow you to do useful things with the help of Wikidata.

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

[redakti]
The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.
How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (diskuto) 05:07, 24 Jul. 2015 (UTC)

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

[redakti]

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

The consultation period is intended to run for one month from today, November 16, and end on December 17.

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Please help translate to your language

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (diskuto) 19:06, 18 Jan. 2016 (UTC)

GRAVA: Administranto aktiveco recenzo

[redakti]

Saluton. A politiko pri la forigo de "antaŭis rajtoj" (administranto, burokrato, ktp) estis adoptita de tutmonda komunumo konsento en 2013. Laŭ tiu politiko, la stevardoj estas revizii administrantoj 'aktiveco sur ĉiuj Vikimedia Fondaĵo vikioj sen senaktiveco politiko. Por la plej bona de nia scio, via vikio ne havas formalan procezon de migrado "antaŭis rajtoj" de senagaj kontoj. Tio signifas ke la administrantoj prizorgos ĉi laŭ la Admin aktiveco revizio.

Ni determinis ke la jenaj uzantoj renkonti la senaktiveco kriterioj (neniu redaktoj kaj neniu log agoj dum pli ol 2 jaroj):

  • Dobromila (last edit: 2013-02-04; last log action: 2009-02-24)

Tiuj uzantoj ricevos sciigojn frue, petante ilin por iniciati komunumon diskuto se ili volas retener iu aŭ ĉiuj de iliaj rajtoj. Se la uzantoj ne respondi, tiam ilia progresinta rajtoj estos forigitaj per la administrantojn.

Tamen, se vi kiel komunuma ŝatus krei vian propran aktivecon recenzo procezo anstataŭante la suma, volas fari alian decidon pri tiuj neaktivaj rajtoj posedantoj, aŭ jam havas politikon kiu ni maltrafis, tiam bonvolu sciigi la stevardoj sur Meta-Wiki tiel ke ni ne scias, procedi kun la rajtoj recenzo en via vikio. Dankon, --MarcoAurelio (diskuto) 19:03, 25 Feb. 2016 (UTC)

Prave, mi ne estas aktiva ĉe Vikicitaro. Sed nuntempe estas nur du administrantoj, do mi pensas ke pli bone estos, se mi plu estos administranto. Mi ne scias kial mi ne havis markitajn opciojn "Sciigu min pri tiuj ĉi okazaĵoj" en miaj preferoj kaj mi ne sciis pri lastaj mesaĝoj en mia diskutpaĝo. Nun ili estas markitaj kaj mi estos scianta pri gravaj ŝanĝoj ĉe Vikicitaro. Dobromila (diskuto) 06:15, 14 Mar. 2016 (UTC)
Nuntempe estas Vikicitaro sufiĉe malaktiva kaj administraj agoj estas bezonataj precipe pro fojaj vandalaĵoj (kaj tutvikiaj aferoj kiel forigo de uzantopaĝo aŭ JS/CSS-dosiero). Mi estas la dua administranto ĉi tie kaj ankaŭ mi estas sufiĉe malaktiva ĉi tie (multo da organizado eksterreta), do mi preferas, ke por okaze de neceso restu ankaŭ alia administranto. Mi pensas, ke ni ambaŭ ĝojus pri iu nova aktiva administranto, sed staton de 2 iam aperantaj administrantoj ni konsideras akceptebla. --KuboF (diskuto) 18:35, 14 Mar. 2016 (UTC)

MarcoAurelio, it seems that both local admins accept that Dobromila will keep her admin rights (and no one from the community is against).

No editing two times this week

[redakti]

La Fondaĵo Vikimedio testos sian plej novan datumcentron en Dallas. Tio certigos, ke Vikipedio kaj ĉiuj aliaj Vikimediaj vikioj povas resti funkciantaj eĉ post naturkatastrofo. Por certiĝi, ke ĉio funkcias, la Teĥnologia departemento de Vikimedio bezonas okazigi planitan teston. Tiu testo montros, ĉu oni povas bonorde ŝalti de unu datumcentro al la alia. Tio postulas ke multaj teamoj prepariĝu por la testo kaj estu pretaj fiksi ajnajn neatenditajn problemojn.

Oni ŝaltos la tutan datumtrafikon al la nova datumcentro marde, la 19-an de aprilo.
Ĵaŭde, la 21-an de aprilo, oni ŝaltos reen al la primara datumcentro.

Bedaŭrinde, pro iuj limigoj en la programaro MediaWiki, la tuta redaktado devas halti dum tiuj du ŝaltoj. Ni pardonpetas pro ĉi tiu paneo, kaj ni laboras por minimumigi ĝin en estonteco.

Vi havos eblon legi, sed ne redakti, ĉiujn vikiojn dum mallonga tempodaŭro.

  • Vi ne havos eblon redakti dum proksimume 15 ĝis 30 minutoj marde la 19-an de aprilo kaj ĵaŭde la 21-an de aprilo, ekde 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
  • Se vi provos redakti aŭ konservi iun paĝon dum tiuj periodoj, vi vidos erarmesaĝon. Ni esperas, ke neniuj redaktoj estos perditaj dum tiuj minutoj, sed ni ne povas tion garantii. Se vi vidos erarmesaĝon, bonvolu atendi ĝis kiam ĉio estos denove en ordo. Tiam vi espereble povos konservi vian redakton.

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki, which you may already seen in the latest issue of Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk) 14:01, 24 jun. 2016 (UTC)Reply

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

[redakti]

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

  • April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
  • April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
  • April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
  • May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
  • May 15–19 – Board vote checking
  • May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

  • Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
    • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
  • Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
    • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections(at)wikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

Improved search in deleted pages archive

[redakti]

Please help translate to your language

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Heads-up about a technical change affecting this wiki

[redakti]

Saluton. Please help translate to your language. Dankon!

This is a heads-up about a technical change affecting this wiki. You do not need to do anything.

In July 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation announced the intention to replace Tidy with RemexHTML across the Wikimedia cluster by July 2018. In order to make this switch, a number of broken wikitext patterns were identified that required fixing on wikis, highlighted via the high priority categories in the Linter extension.

While still planning to finish turning off Tidy in July 2018, doing early switches of wikis from Tidy to Remex will let us identify any lingering issues that are not already caught by the linter categories and our QA testing. We are encouraging big wikis that have worked hard to switch sooner, for example.

Since your wiki has zero high-priority errors, we think that it is ready to switch from Tidy to Remex. To be clear, if we notice problems (or if the wiki requests it), we will revert the change, after identifying the source of the problem. If you notice any incorrect rendering, you can use ?action=parsermigration-edit to identify if the switch from Tidy actually caused it.

We are suggesting 5 December 2017 as the possible date for the switch to happen, so there would still be plenty of time to fix any issues before the holidays start. We look forward to hearing any concerns you would have with this plan, and about how we can help make this transition as smooth as possible: if you have any comments, please remember to ping me personally to make sure I notice and address them, otherwise we will assume this message is acknowledged and the deadline works for your community.

PS: Apologies if you are seeing this message on a page that is not the best location for it: I have looked for the appropriate target pages (for example, on Meta), but may have found none. Please, by all means, move the message where you see fit, but most importantly, fix the various distribution lists by adding the correct page there, to avoid that this happens again in the future. I appreciate your understanding, and am available for further information and explanations.

ELiSo partoprenis la Vikimedian Konferencon 2018

[redakti]
Trovu la 8 esperantistojn kaj vicon da pluŝuloj!
Organizuloj viciĝas

Saluton karaj kunredaktantoj!

Mi ŝatus informi vin, ke lastan semajnfinon, ekde la 20a ĝis la 22a de Aprilo 2018 okazis la Vikimedia Konferenco 2018, pinta renkontiĝo de organizita parto de la Vikimedia movado. Kaj kompreneble partoprenis ankaŭ Esperanta Vikimedia grupo Esperanto kaj Libera Scio (ELiSo) en konsisto Ivan Quintero Santacruz kaj KuboF Hromoslav (kaj pluraj esperantistoj reprezentante aliajn organizojn / grupojn).

Dum la konferenco ni multe lernis, diskutis, konektiĝadis kun aliaj aktivuloj, laboris kaj eĉ trovis tempon por amikumi. Okazis tiom multaj aferoj, ke ni bezonos kelkan tempon por ilin pritrakti; ni informos vin iom-post-iom, precipe en la dissendolistoj eliso kaj eliso-anoncoj (do aliĝu por ricevi novaĵojn plej frue kaj plej komplete!). Sed nun mi alemanŭ prezentos mian koncizan superrigardon.

Mi konscias pri 8 esperantistoj dum la konferenco. Entute partoprenis ĉ. 300 homoj, do esperantistoj jam trapasis la sojlon de 2% kaj transiris de "pioniroj" al "fruaj adoptantoj" (laŭ la teorio de difuzo de novaj aferoj).

Entute 6 homoj partoprenis la kunsidon de ELiSo. La raporton mi ankoraŭ preparas, sed mi konscize diru, ke ni decidis puŝi nian grupon al pli alta nivelo kun funkcianta strukturo (pri tio mi sendos memstaran mesaĝon) kaj ĝis 2 jaroj iĝi Tema Organizo de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kaj (dum nedefinita tempo) Faka Asocio de UEA.

Ni lernis pri novaj (aŭ nove malkovritaj) iloj por helpi al laboro de redaktantoj kaj organizantoj, ekz. Mapo de komunumaj kapabloj, w:Ŝablono:Uzanto sandbox+, Stirpanelo por programoj kaj eventoj kaj UserViews. Tio estas vere mojosaj iloj, certe provu ilin!

Granda parto de la konferenco estis la 2a fazo de konsultado por la Strategia direkto de la Vikimedia movado 2030. Ĉar estas ĝenerala konsidero, ke per nuntempa laborado ni ne atingos la trovitan vizion, en la tutmonda vikimedia movado komenciĝis tempo de prikonsiderado de ĉio ajn kaj sekve estas akceptataj ankaŭ disrompaj ideoj (ĝis grado de malfondo de ĉiuj komisionoj kaj organizoj). Aŭdiĝis ankaŭ la opinio, ke la internacia vikimedia movado prefere transiru de uzado de la angla al Esperanto, ĉar ĝi estas multe pli justa - la opinion prezentis neesperantisto! Li laŭpete tion deklaris ankaŭ dum videoregistrado - la videon mi publikigos baldaŭ.

Parolante pri videoj... Mi faris kelkajn mallongajn video-monologojn kun kelkaj homoj kun intresaj ideoj. Ĝi estis tre improvizita, ĉar mi ĝin pripensis maljam veturante al la konferenco. Tamen, mi havas plurajn bonajn registraĵojn, kiujn mi publikigados dum sekvaj tagoj (tamen ne tuj) en la YouTube-kanalo de ELiSo, do ekabonu la kanalon jam nun por esti sciigita tuj post publikigo (kaj memoru klaki la sonorileton por vere ricevi la sciigojn...).

Do, jen fino de tiu ĉi baza sciigo! Nome de nia grupeto de reprezentantoj mi denove dankas pro esperantista subteno de nia partopreno kaj mi antaŭĝojas nian pli intensan kunlaboradon en kaj ekster Vikipedio, kiu ĵuse plikonkretiĝias.

En mia antaŭa mesaĝo mi koncize (nu, eble ne tiom koncize...) prezentis superrigardon pri parto de Esperanta agado dum la Vikimedia Konferenco 2018. Pluraj el unuopaj punktoj tamen bezonas aktivan partoprenon de ĝuste vi! Ankaŭ la jena.

Nia grupo estis sub la nomo Esperanto kaj Libera Scio oficiale rekonita fare de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kiel Vikimedia Uzanto-Grupo en 2013. Ekde tiam ni funkcias kiel neformala grupo kun distribuita (ni povas diri "laŭokaza") gvidado. Tio certagrade funkcias (ja vidu niajn ĝisnunajn sukcesojn kaj nune faratan laboron, ekz. Vikio amas ZEOjn). Sed dum la kunsido dum la Konferenco ni unuanime konstatis, ke ni povas atingi pli multe, helpi al pli da homoj kaj disvastigi vikimedion pli foren se ni pli intence zorgos pri bontenado kaj evoluo de niaj strukturo kaj strategio.

Tial ni starigis laborgrupon, kiu nin gvidos tra la procezo de starigo de tiu strukturo. Ni ankaŭ konscias, ke ne ĉiuj povis partopreni dum la konferenco kaj ke indas inkludi homojn kun diversaj kapabloj kaj talentoj por atingi elstaran sukceson!

Tial ni invitas vin al la laborgrupo por gvidi ELiSon al sekva nivelo!

Kio estos la laboro?
En la laborgrupo ni unue diskutos estontecon de ELiSo. Mi antaŭvidas 2-3 videovokojn kaj intertempan retpoŝtumadon kaj prilaboradon de dokumentoj. Laŭ rezultoj de tiuj diskutoj ni faros sekvajn agojn. Ni ĝenerale supozas, ke ni gvidos verkadon de statuto laŭ kiu ĉiu ELiSano elektos estraron. Detaloj estas por laborgrupa diskuto.
Kiel aliĝi al la laborgrupo?
Ĝis la 13a de Majo 2018 23:59 UTC deklaru vian intencon aliĝi per retmesaĝo al la dissendolisto eliso, al mi persone aŭ en la Diskutejo de la Esperanta Vikipedio.
Ĉu aliĝante al la laborgrupo oni eniras estraron?
Ne. La laborgrupo ekzistos por gvidi procezon por ekhavi funkciantan kaj firman strukturon; kiam tio estos atingita, la laborgrupo disiĝos. Membroj de la laborgrupo estas tre bonvenaj kaj invitataj plufunkcii en gvida rolo en ELiSo, sed tio ne estas deviga. Ĉiuokaze, precizan strukturon de estonta ELiSo ni interkonsentos en la laborgrupo kaj ni antaŭvidas diversajn manierojn kiel partopreni en ELiSo, ĉu en "estraro" aŭ ekster ĝi.
Kiuj estas membroj de la laborgrupo?
Dume estas 5 homoj: Leidy Sandoval Galindez, Juan Quintero Santacruz, Ivan Quintero Santacruz, Mathieu Stumpf Guntz kaj mi (KuboF Hromoslav). Mi volontulis por gvidi la laborgrupon.

Do, se vi volas vidi ELiSon atingadi pli multe kaj labori pli profesie, aliĝu!

Novaj monpetoj por informado

[redakti]

Por agado de la organizo Esperanto kaj Libera Scio mi malfermis 2 novajn monpetojn ĉe la Fondaĵo Vikimedio:

  1. prezentado de Vikio Amas ZEOjn dum UK 2018
  2. novaj, modernaj informiloj pri Vikipedio

Unue, dankon al Sahaquiel9102 kaj Peter Baláž pro bona kunlaboro, kuncerbumado, ĉiama puŝado kaj helpado! Ni laboris sub tempa streĉo, do mi ĝojas, ke almenaŭ nun mi povas anonci la projektojn.

Emblemo de la fotokonkurso Vikio amas ZEOjn

Ambaŭ projektoj celas plipopularigi precipe Esperantajn viki-projektojn kaj enhavojn inter esperantistoj. Parte temas ankaŭ pri ĝenerala informado pri vikimedio. Grava parto estas la konkurso Vikio amas ZEOjn 2018, kie ni invitas homojn kontribui per fotoj pri ZEOj. Ni supozas vastan informadon al ĝenerala publiko per Vikipedioj - multaj el ili supozeble ekkonos ZEOjn kaj Esperanton por la unua fojo! Por la projekto estis Petro Baláž bonkora kaj akceptis dum UK 2018 prelegi kaj informi pri la projekto.

La dua projekto temas pri kutimaj informaj / instruaj materialoj, kiujn ni uzados dum estontaj prelegoj kaj trejnadoj por helpi al homoj pli bone memori kaj uzi la informojn. Ĉar ankaŭ ni estas nur homoj kaj ne povas plurobliĝi, pripensu ankaŭ vi prelegi kaj trejni pri Vikipedio kaj aliaj vikiaj projektoj. En ELiSo ni laŭeble provizas helpon, per tiu ĉi monpeto strebas pri distribuo de instruaj flugfolioj kaj plurfoje jam sukcese monpetis por helpi financi la vojaĝon.

Fine, se vi ŝatas la agadon, mi petas vin esprimi vian subteno pri la monpetoj en la suba sekcio "Endorsements", konkrete prezentado pri ZEOj kaj informiloj. Nia Esperanta grupo jam estas konata en la Vikimedia mondo, sed akcepto de monpetoj dependas ankaŭ de montrita intereso de la komunumo. Antaŭdankon! --KuboF Hromoslav (diskuto) 21:41, 17 maj. 2018 (UTC)Reply

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now

[redakti]

(Please help translate to your language)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Interfacaj administrantoj) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

Thanks!

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

[redakti]
The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

About the skin

[redakti]

[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

  • The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
  • The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
  • The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
  • The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.

How can editors change and customize this skin?

[redakti]

It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.

Our plan

[redakti]

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.

If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 04:15, 22 sep. 2022 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions

[redakti]
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

  • Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
  • Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
  • North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.

The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.

The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.

If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee

[redakti]

Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.

About the Ombuds commission

The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.

Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

About the Case Review Committee

The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.

We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

Applying to join either of these groups

Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.

If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca(_AT_)wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal(_AT_)wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:

  • Your primary projects
  • Languages you speak/write
  • Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
  • Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
  • Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
  • Any other information you think is relevant

The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

On behalf of the Committee Support team,

Read this in another languageSubscription list for this multilingual newsletter

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:

  1. The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
  2. They are beginning a new project, Edit check.

Talk pages project

Screenshot showing the talk page design changes that are currently available as beta features at all Wikimedia wikis. These features include information about the number of people and comments within each discussion.
Some of the upcoming changes

The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.

It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Aldoni temon" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.

Daily edit completion rate by test group: DiscussionTools (test group) and MobileFrontend overlay (control group)

An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.

New Project: Edit Check

The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publikigi la ŝanĝojn". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process

[redakti]

Hello,

As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

  • Community members in good standing
  • Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
  • Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
  • Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
  • Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
  • Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Hello there,

We are glad to announce the new members and advisors of the Elections Committee. The Elections Committee assists with the design and implementation of the process to select Community- and Affiliate-Selected trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. After an open nomination process, the strongest candidates spoke with the Board and four candidates were asked to join the Elections Committee. Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.

Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

[redakti]

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

[redakti]

Read this in your languagePlease help translate to your language • Please tell other users about these changes

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

Global preferences

If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.

If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

About the skin

[redakti]
Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English).

[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

  • The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
  • The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
  • The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
  • The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
  • The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

Our plan

[redakti]

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 31 October. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskuto) 23:51, 18 okt. 2023 (UTC)Reply

[ĝis 17-a de Novembro] Subtenu mian kandidatiĝon al AffCom

[redakti]

Resumo: Mi kandidatiĝis por servado en la Komitato pri aligitaj organizoj de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio (AffCom) por helpi solvi ĝiajn problemojn, kiuj dum jaroj damaĝas ankaŭ la Esperantan komunumon. Bonvolu subteni min aldonante {{Strong support}} (forta subteno) ĉe meta:Affiliations_Committee/Candidates/2023#KuboF_Hromoslav

Karaj, dum lastaj jaroj Vikimedio EO klopodas esti rekonita de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kiel Tema organizo (nun ni estas Uzanto-Grupo, kio estas malpli alta ŝtupo). Bedaŭrinde tiu ĉi nia klopodo estis haltigita de la Komitato pri aligitaj organizoj (AffCom), kiu dum jaroj ne havas sufiĉajn kapacitojn por sia respondeca funkciado. Bedaŭrinde, ilia subakapciteco montriĝis esti tiom drasta, ke ili bezonis ĉ. 5 monatojn de celita plua edukado por taŭge respondi bazlernej-nivelan demandon (konkrete kiam ili decidis haltigi nian rekonon). Mi daŭre komunikas kun AffCom ankaŭ pri aferoj ekster VMEO kaj mi respondece konfirmas, ke AffCom daŭre havas drastajn problemojn - disvastigas malveraĵojn, ne korektas ilin kiam oni atentigas pri tio, fiaskas respondi bazlernej-nivelajn demandojn ks.

Tiu ĉi subkapaciteco de AffCom bedaŭrinde ne nur kostas monon al la Fondaĵo Vikimedio (kiu pagas (kaj sufiĉe multe) al siaj dungitoj por provizadi helpon al AffCom, kaj tiu multekosta helpado estas pli alta ol taŭge pro la nekapabloj de AffCom). Sed ĝi ankaŭ forsuĉas energion de Vikimediaj organizoj kiel Vikimedio EO. Pro tio la komunumoj de Vikipedio kaj aliaj projektoj ne disvolviĝas tiom bone kaj rapide kiom eblus kun taŭga subteno. Rezulte de tio, la socioj parolantaj ties lingvojn ne edukiĝas tiom rapide, profunde kaj vaste kiom ili povus kun pli bona funkciado de Vikipedioj (kio havas konsekvencojn ekz en nesufiĉe rapida preventado de klimata ŝanĝo, nesufiĉa pacigado de mondo kaj daŭre ĉeesta granda neegaleco).

Mi jam havas tre (fakte tro) multan laboron, sed mi vidas, ke la damaĝo kiun kreas la subkapaciteco de AffCom estas tro maltaŭga kaj detrua ankaŭ por nia Esperanta komunumo. Tial mi decidis kandidatiĝi por AffCom kaj helpi ĝin deinterne. Tio bedaŭrinde prenos iom de mia tempo, kiun mi preferas dediĉi al VMEO, sed samtempe (mi esperas, ke) helpos glatigi la padon kaj kunlaboradon de VMEO kun AffCom, kaj samtempe plifortigos ankaŭ aliajn Vikimediajn organizojn, de kies sukcesoj ni povos profiti (ekz. lernante de ili, aŭ kunlaborante en subvenciataj projektoj de Erasmus+ ktp).


Por tio tamen indas via subteno! Mi petas, legu mian kandidatiĝon kaj se vi subtenas tion, bv. en la parto "Endorsements (KuboF Hromoslav)" subteni min aldonante {{Strong support}} (forta subteno) aŭ {{Support}} (subteno), ideale ankaŭ kun certa komento (povas esti en Esperanto ;) meta:Affiliations_Committee/Candidates/2023#KuboF_Hromoslav

Mi anticipe dankas vin pro via helpo al mia helpado de disvolvigo de tutmonda Vikimedia komunumo! KuboF Hromoslav (diskuto) 16:18, 10 nov. 2023 (UTC)Reply

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?

[redakti]

Apologies for writing in English.

The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.

  • The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
  • Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
  • Compensation is available.
  • Sessions will be held in January and February.
  • Sign up here if you are interested.
  • Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

  • May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
  • June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
  • June-August 2024: Campaign period
  • End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
  • October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
  • Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

Best regards,

Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

[redakti]
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

Individual vote:

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

Affiliates vote:

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.

We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:

Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.
