Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the English language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. Infact, of the 1798 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 0 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages of about 80 extensions, with almost 1000 messages.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator priviledges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on meta and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 09:28 28 sep 2007 (UTC)

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Hello Wikipedians, my name is Kelly and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Avañe'ẽ community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into Avañe'ẽ and suggesting messages that would appeal to Avañe'ẽ readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.Klyman 18:08 20 jasypa 2010 (UTC)

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 00:11 15 ene 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month.

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 18:18 5 jasypoteĩ 2012 (UTC)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is June 21.

To contact the mobile team, email mobile-feedback-llists.wikimedia.org.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!

Localise your wiki logo

The official localisable Wiktionary logo

Hello! It was noted that Wiktionary in this language has not yet adopted a localised/translated logo: it's really a pity for a dictionary project!
We are trying to help Wiktionaries adopt a locally-adapted logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us. What we need from you is just the preferred translation of the name and motto, "Wiktionary" (if translated) and "The free dictionary": you can add them to the logo list, by editing it directly or commenting on the talk page; you can also add a note if you don't want the localised logo.
Of course, you can also create the logo and make the necessary requests on bugzilla yourself, if you prefer so.
Feel free to translate this message and to move/copy/forward it where appropriate; you can also reply on my talk. Thanks, Nemo 15:32 3 jasypateĩ 2012 (UTC)

Política estándar de robots (m:Bot policy)

Buenos días y perdonen por no escribir en guaraní. Dejo mensaje en Español e Inglés

• español Para facilitar a los stewards otorgar flags de bot, sugiero que este proyecto acepte la política estandar de robots. En particular, esta política autorizaría a los stewards a automáticamente otorgar flag de bot a robots de interwikis conocidos y confiables (si el proyecto aceptase la cláusula de la "aprobación automática") que cumplen una serie de requisitos previos. Si el proyecto se adhiere a la política de meta serían también habilitados los robots globales (si se desease), los cuales sólo realizan adición/remoción de interwikis y arreglo de dobles redirecciones (el uso del permiso de robot global para algo diferente está prohibido). Hay más de 400 proyectos Wikimedia que se han adherido al sistema, que simplifica mucho los trámites tanto para usuarios locales, operadores de bot y stewards. Por favor, lean la política y comenten si les parece bien o no. Si no existen comentarios en contra en dos semanas procederé a su activación para el proyecto sin perjuicio de que en el futuro la situación pueda ser modificada. Si necesitan alguna aclaración, por favor sírvanse contactar conmigo en Meta-Wiki. Un saludo. --Marco Aurelio 12:36 4 jasyteĩ 2013 (UTC)

• English Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots. This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement it soon if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. --Marco Aurelio 12:36 4 jasyteĩ 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled on 2013-07-09

On July 9, 2013, Universal Language Selector (ULS) will be enabled on this wiki. The ULS provides a flexible way to configure and deliver language settings like interface language, fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). Making it available here is the last phase of making ULS available on all Wikimedia wikis.

Pywikipedia is migrating to git

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language. If you have question feel free to ask in mw:Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit, mailing list, or in the IRC channel. Best Amir (via Global message delivery). 13:15 23 jasypokõi 2013 (UTC)

HTTPS for users with an account

Greetings. Starting on August 21 (tomorrow), all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. More information is available at m:HTTPS.

If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on bugzilla, on IRC (in the #wikimedia-operations channel) or on meta. If you can't use the other methods, you can also send an e-mail to https@wikimedia.org.

Request for consultation on community logo

Request for consultation on this community logo

First, I’d like to apologize for the English. If you can, please help to translate this for other members of your community.

The legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation would greatly appreciate your input on the best way to manage the "community logo" (pictured here) to best balance protection of the projects with community support. Accordingly, they have created a “request for consultation” on Meta where they set out briefly some of the issues to be considered and the options that they perceive. Your input would be invaluable in helping guide them in how best to serve our mission.

Notifications

Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

(This message is in English, please translate as needed)

Greetings!

Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.

We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.

There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:

• Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia. You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

• Checklist

Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about this new tool. For more information, visit this project hub and this help page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:36 4 jasypa 2013 (UTC)

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki: m:Community Logo/Request for consultation.

This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.

The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.

We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Thanks, Geoff & Yana 20:10 8 jasypa 2013 (UTC)

Introducting Beta Features

(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:

• Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
• VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
• Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday)

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) 19:58 5 jasypateĩ 2013 (UTC)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

The Wikimedia legal team invites you to participate in the development of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.

The current trademark policy was introduced in 2009 to protect the Wikimedia marks. We are now updating this policy to better balance permissive use of the marks with the legal requirements for preserving them for the community. The new draft trademark policy is ready for your review here, and we encourage you to discuss it here.

We would appreciate if someone would translate this message into your language so more members of your community can contribute to the conversation.

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

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

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 jasyteĩ 2014 (UTC)

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

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

Amendment to the Terms of Use

Hello all,

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

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 Wiktionary better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals.

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

• Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)
• Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
• Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
• Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)

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

Hope to have your participation,

--Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 19:44 28 jasykõi 2014 (UTC)

Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment

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.

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

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.

Pronunciation Recording

Visual workflow draft for pronunciation recording gadget; If you have trouble watching this video here, watch it on vimeo. A more extensive/explanative version is available.

Dear Wiktionary community!

About me

My name is Rainer Rillke, and I have been volunteering at Wikimedia Commons for 3 years now, gathering experience around media files. I've been always interested in how things work and how one could improve them.

The idea

One idea that appeared last Summer was allowing the recording of small chunks of speech, uploading that to Wikimedia Commons in the background and including this into a Wiktionary entry without having the hassle doing everything by hand or installing additional software. That idea led to the foundation of MediaWiki extension PronunciationRecording during the Google Summer of Code. However, this was not completed; instead development is stale for over 5 months now.

My proposal

To make this going to work, so Wiktionary has an immediate benefit of this feature, I would like to provide the work done so far as a gadget and add some more work in regard to usability. You can see my plan at m:Grants:IEG/Finish Pronunciation Recording. And more importantly, you can give me a hand, if you are interested by writing your comments.

Thanks and kind regards --Rillke (discusión) 17:25 7 jasyrundy 2014 (UTC)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

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

• have local upload restricted to the "Administradores" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

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

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 jasypo 2014 (UTC)

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

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 jasypoteĩ 2014 (UTC)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

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.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

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 jasypa 2014 (UTC)

Global AbuseFilter

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,

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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

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

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)

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

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 (discusión) 05:07 24 jasypokõi 2015 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey

Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.

The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.

For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.

While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.

Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

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.

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

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!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

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

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:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

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

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

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.

Server switch 2016

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).

If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped.

Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.

• There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.

No non-essential code deployments will take place.

This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:07 17 jasyrundy 2016 (UTC)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

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 seen already in the 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 soon 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. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you.

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

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.

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Eikuaauka” button to “Eikuaauka ko kuatia” and “Eikuaauka ñemoambue”. “Eikuaauka ko kuatia” will be used when you create a new page. “Eikuaauka ñemoambue” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[16][17]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Eikuaauka ko kuatia” and “Eikuaauka ñemoambue”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Eikuaauka” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Eikuaauka” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Eikuaauka ko kuatia” and “Eikuaauka ñemoambue”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Wikidata for Wiktionary: let’s get ready for lexicographical data!

Hello all,

Sorry for writing this message in English, please feel free to translate it in your own language below.

The Wikidata development team will start working on integrating lexicographical data in the knowledge base soon and we want to make sure we do this together with you.

Wikidata is a constantly evolving project and after four years of existence, we start with implementing support for Wiktionary editors and content, by allowing you to store and improve lexicographical data, in addition to the concepts already maintained by thousands of editors on Wikidata.

We have been working on this idea for almost three years and improving it with a lot of inputs from community members to understand Wiktionary processes.

Starting this project, we hope that the editors will be able to collaborate across Wiktionaries more easily. We expect to increase the number of editors and visibility of languages, and we want to provide the groundwork for new tools for editors.

Our development plan contains several phases in order to build the structure to include lexicographical data:

• creating automatic interwiki links on Wiktionary,
• creating new entity types for lexemes, senses, and forms on Wikidata,
• providing data access to Wikidata from Wiktionary
• improving the display of lexicographical information on Wikidata.

During the next months, we will do our best to provide you the technical structure to store lexicographical data on Wikidata and use it on Wiktionary. Don’t hesitate to discuss this within your local community, and give us feedback about your needs and the particularities of your languages.

Information about supporting lexicographical entities on Wikidata is available on this page. You can find an overview of the project, the detail of the development plan, answers to frequently asked questions, and a list of people ready to help us. If you want to have general discussions and questions about the project, please use the general talk page, as we won’t be able to follow all the talk pages on Wiktionaries. If you don’t feel comfortable with English, you can write in your own language and hopefully someone will volunteer to translate.

Bests regards, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

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.

Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (ñe’ẽ) / MediaWiki message delivery (discusión) 23:59 13 jasypateĩ 2016 (UTC)

New way to edit wikitext

Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.

We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.

Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.

All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Activar automáticamente la mayoría de las funciones beta".

The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.

This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

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:

• Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)
  • Introduction to process and information about budget spending resolution to support it

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

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-electionswikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Cognate & automatic interlanguage links

Hello all,

(I'm sorry to write in English, feel free to translate in your own language below)

From April 24th, a new interlanguage link system will be deployed on all Wiktionaries. This extension, Cognate, automatically links the pages with the same title between the Wiktionaries. This means they no longer have to be added in the pages of the main namespace.

This new feature has been developed by Wikimedia Deutschland as the first step of the project Wikidata for Wiktionary, but does not rely on Wikidata.

To allow the feature to operate, all the former interlanguage links have to be removed from the wikitext. You can do this by using a bot, as it was done on Wikipedia in the past. If you leave them in they will overwrite the automatic links.

During the development we had a lot of discussions with Wiktionary editors to understand their needs, but it's possible that some automatic links don't work as you would expect. If you find some bugs or have suggestions for improvements, feel free to add a sub-task on Phabricator or add a message on this talk page.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

Beta Feature Two Column Edit Conflict View

From May 9, the Two Column Edit Conflict View will be available as a beta feature on all wikis. The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's and the conflicting changes to make it easy to copy and paste pieces of the text and resolve the conflict. The feature fulfils a request for a more user-friendly edit conflict resolution from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well!

Birgit Müller (WMDE) 14:42 8 jasypo 2017 (UTC)

RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

Enable sitelinks on Wikidata for Wiktionary pages

Hello,

I’m sorry to write this message in English. Please help us translating the full message here!

Short version: From June 20th, we are going to store the interwiki links of all the namespaces (except main, user and talk) in Wikidata. This will not break your Wiktionary, but if you want to use all the features, you will have to remove your sitelinks from wikitext and connect your pages to Wikidata.

Long version available and translatable here.

If you have any question or concern, feel free to ping me.

Short version: Since yesterday, we are able to store the interwiki links of all the Wiktionaries namespaces (except main, citations, user and talk) in Wikidata. This will not break your Wiktionary, but if you want to use all the features, you will have to remove your sitelinks from wikitext and connect your pages to Wikidata.

Important: even if it is technically possible, you should not link Wiktionary main namespace pages from Wikidata. The interwiki links for them are already provided by Cognate.

Enabling Page Previews

Enabling Page Previews

Hello,

Based on the positive results of a series of quantitative and qualitative tests, the Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable the Page Previews feature for this project.

Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. However, we realize the needs of the Wiktionary community will not be satisfied by the current implementation of the feature. We are interested in developing separate previews for Wiktionary that will display the wiktionary definition of an item, as well as an image, if available.

We'd like to invite some discussion around interest in this feature, as well as the requirements and elements that would make it useful for the Wiktionary community.

Accessible editing buttons

The MediaWiki developers have been slowly improving the accessibility of the user interface. The next step in this transition will change the appearance of some buttons and may break some outdated (non-updated or unmaintained) user scripts and gadgets.

You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

• Comparison of old and new styles
• 
  Buttons before the change
• 
  Buttons after the change

However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.

This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 1 August 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

Columns for references

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma • Read this in another language

Hello,

At the request of Wikipedia editors, a new feature has been added to MediaWiki. Long lists of references (also called citations or footnotes) will automatically be displayed in columns. This will make it easier for most people to read the references, especially on narrow screens. Short lists of references will not be affected.

I plan to enable this new feature at this wiki on Monday, 11 September 2017. After that date, use the normal <references /> tag on any page with many references to see this feature. If you do not want columns used on that page, then use this wikitext code instead: <references responsive="0" />

If you believe that this new feature is not appropriate for this wiki, or if you need help adjusting templates, then please contact me at mw:Contributors/Projects/Columns for references. --User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.

Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.

For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.

The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

¡Muchas gracias!

Heads-up about a technical change affecting this wiki

Hola. Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma. ¡Muchas gracias!

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.

Best, mw:User:Elitre (WMF) 10:35 28 jasypateĩ 2017 (UTC)

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.

Tell us what you think about the automatic links for Wiktionary

Hello all,

(Sorry for writing in English. Feel free to translate this message below.)

One year ago, the Wikidata team started deploying new automatic interwiki links for Wiktionaries. Today, the links for the main namespace are automatically displayed by a Mediawiki extension, and the links for other namespaces are stored in Wikidata. You can find the documentation here (feel free to help translating it in your language).

We would like to know if you encountered problems with the system, if you would have suggestions for further improvements. This could be for example:

• Some automatic links don’t work as expected
• Some problems you encountered with entering links (for non-main namespace) in Wikidata
• Some new features you’d like to have, related to links

To give feedback, you have two options:

• Let a message on this talk page
• Let a message here. If you do so, please mention me with the {{ping}} template, so I can get a notification.

Our preferred languages are English, French and German, but you can also let a message in your own language if you feel more comfortable with it.

I’m looking forward for your feedback! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 10:23 24 jasyrundy 2018 (UTC)

AdvancedSearch

From May 8, AdvancedSearch will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The feature enhances the search page through an advanced parameters form and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible for everyone. AdvancedSearch is a project by WMDE Technical Wishes. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!

Lexicographical data is now available on Wikidata

Hello,

Sorry for writing in English. Feel free to translate the content of this message below.

After several years discussing about it, and one year of development and discussion with the communities, the development team of Wikimedia Germany has now released the first version of lexicographical data support on Wikidata.

Since the start of Wikidata in 2012, the multilingual knowledge base was mainly focused on concepts: Q-items are related to a thing or an idea, not to the word describing it. Starting now, Wikidata stores a new type of data: words, phrases and sentences, in many languages, described in many languages. This information will be stored in new types of entities, called Lexemes, Forms and Senses.

The goal of lexicographical data on Wikidata is to provide a structured and machine-readable way to describe words and phrases in multiple languages, stored in a same place, reusable under CC-0. In the near future, this data will be available for Wiktionaries and other projects to reuse, as much as you want to.

For now, we’re at the first steps of this project: the new data structure has been released on Wikidata, and we’re looking for people to try it, and give us feedback on what is working or not. Participating to this project is the opportunity for you to have a voice in it, to make sure that your needs and requests are taken in account very early in the process, and to start populating Wikidata with words in your language!

Here’s how you can try lexicographical data on Wikidata:

• First of all, if you’re not familiar with the data model, I encourage you to have a look at the documentation page. If you’re not familiar with Wikidata at all, I suggest this page as a start point.
• You can also look at the Lexemes that already exists (search features will be improved in the future).
• When you feel ready to create a word, go on d:Special:NewLexeme.
• If some properties that you need are missing, you can suggest them on this page (if you’re not sure how to do it, just let a message on the talk page and someone will help you).
• The main discussion page is d:Wikidata:Lexicographical data. Here, you can ask for help, suggest ways to organize the data, but also leave feedback: if you encounter any bug or issue, let us know. We’re looking especially to know what are the most important features for you to be worked on next.

In any case, feel free to contact me if you have a question or problem, I’ll be very happy to help.

Cheers, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 12:20 23 jasypo 2018 (UTC)

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS

(Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma)

Hi all,

I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!

Thanks!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS

(Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma)

Hi all!

To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.) A new user group, interface-admin, has been created. Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able 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).

You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.

Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).

Thanks!

Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard

Screenshot of the Hub view

Sorry for writing this message in English. Feel free to help translate it below.

Hello all,

A few months ago, we asked you for feedback about Cognate, the system allowing interwikilinks between Wiktionaries (on main namespace). Several community members gave some suggestions, one of them was to provide statistics about these interwikilinks.

The Wikidata team is pleased to present you the Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard, a website presenting a lot of interesting information about how Wiktionaries are connected to each others. You can find there, for example:

• the most interlinked Wiktionary entries not having a page on your Wiktionary
• the number of interlinks between each possible pair of Wiktionaries
• visualizations of the relationships between different Wiktionaries

To learn more about the tool, you can have a look at the documentation (please help us translating it in your language!). The interface of the tool itself can also be translated in other languages by using this page.

If you find a bug, please let a comment on this Phabricator task or ping me onwiki. Thanks a lot, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 13:08 14 jasypoapy 2018 (UTC)

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

(Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Administradores de interfaz) 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!

Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October

Read this message in another language • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Example of improvements

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.

The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 08:03 16 jasypoapy 2019 (UTC)

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 14:14 26 jasykõi 2020 (UTC)

Feedback on movement names

Hola. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma if necessary. ¡Muchas gracias!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:39 2 jasypokõi 2020 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation . We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.

It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.

We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.

There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list . We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community.

Wiki of functions naming contest

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma.

Hola. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Hola!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Martin Urbanec (ñe’ẽ) 11:49 24 jasypateĩ 2020 (UTC)

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Wiktionary currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Global bot policy changes

Hola!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.

• Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
• For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
• The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Example

From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.

More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 15:08 12 jasyrundy 2021 (UTC)

Suggested Values

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Wikimania 2021: Individual Program Submissions

Dear all,

Wikimania 2021 will be hosted virtually for the first time in the event's 15-year history. Since there is no in-person host, the event is being organized by a diverse group of Wikimedia volunteers that form the Core Organizing Team (COT) for Wikimania 2021.

Event Program - Individuals or a group of individuals can submit their session proposals to be a part of the program. There will be translation support for sessions provided in a number of languages. See more information here.

Below are some links to guide you through;

• Program Submissions
• Session Submission Guidelines
• FAQ

Please note that the deadline for submission is 18th June 2021.

Announcements- To keep up to date with the developments around Wikimania, the COT sends out weekly updates. You can view them in the Announcement section here.

Office Hour - If you are left with questions, the COT will be hosting some office hours (in multiple languages), in multiple time-zones, to answer any programming questions that you might have. Details can be found here.

Best regards,

Editing news 2021 #2

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Herramientas de discusión" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hello everyone,

We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.

Summary:

We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.

However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.

We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.

A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet

We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.

We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!

Feedback

• What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
• How would you like to use our new sandbox?
• What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
• What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

La Junta Directiva está preparando una convocatoria de comentarios sobre las próximas elecciones de la Junta, del 7 de enero al 10 de febrero de 2022.

Aunque los detalles se ultimarán la semana anterior a la convocatoria, hemos confirmado al menos dos preguntas que se plantearán durante esta convocatoria para recibir comentarios:

• ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de garantizar una representación justa de las comunidades emergentes en la Junta?

• ¿Qué grado de participación deben tener los candidatos durante las elecciones?

Aunque es posible que se añadan más preguntas, el equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento quiere dar tiempo a los miembros de la comunidad y a los afiliados para que consideren y preparen ideas sobre las preguntas confirmadas antes de que se abra la convocatoria. Nos disculpamos por no tener una lista completa de preguntas en este momento. La lista de preguntas sólo debería aumentar en una o dos preguntas. La intención es no abrumar a la comunidad con solicitudes, sino avisar y agradecer los comentarios sobre estas importantes preguntas.

¿Quieres ayudar a organizar una conversación local durante esta convocatoria?

Actualización de las Mejoras de Escritorio e invitación a las Office Hours

Hola. Quería ponerte al día sobre el proyecto Mejoras de escritorio, en el que el equipo web de la Fundación Wikimedia ha estado trabajando estos últimos años.

Los objetivos del proyecto son hacer la interfaz más accesible y cómoda para los lectores y más útil para los usuarios avanzados. El proyecto consiste en una serie de mejoras de las funcionalidades que facilitan la lectura y el aprendizaje, la navegación dentro de la página, la búsqueda, el cambio de idioma, el uso de las pestañas de los artículos y el menú de usuario, etc.

Las mejoras ya son visibles por defecto para los lectores y editores de 24 wikis, incluyendo las Wikipedias en Francés, Portugués, y Persa.

Los cambios se aplican sólo a la piel Vector. Los usuarios de Monobook o Timeless no están afectados.

Características desplegadas desde nuestra última actualización

• Menú del usuario - se centró en hacer la navegación más intuitiva resaltando visualmente la estructura de los enlaces del usuario y su propósito.
• Encabezado fijo - se centró en permitir el acceso a las funciones importantes (inicio de sesión/cierre de sesión, historial, páginas de discusión, etc.) sin necesidad de que la gente se desplace a la parte superior de la página.

Para obtener una lista completa de las características que incluye el proyecto, visita nuestra página del proyecto. También te invitamos a nuestra página de actualizaciones.

Cómo activar las mejoras

Preferencias globales

• Es posible activarlas individualmente en la pestaña de apariencia dentro de las preferencias desmarcando la casilla "Eipuru jehechauka oúva Vector rembiejágui". (Tiene que estar vacía). Además, es posible activarlas en todas las wikis utilizando las preferencias globales.
• Si crees que esto sería bueno por defecto para todos los lectores y editores de esta wiki, no dudes en iniciar una conversación con la comunidad y contactar conmigo.
• En las wikis en las que los cambios son visibles por defecto para todos, los usuarios conectados siempre pueden optar por no utilizar el vector Legacy. Hay un enlace fácilmente accesible en la barra lateral del nuevo Vector.

Más información y participación en nuestros eventos

Si quieres estar al tanto de los avances de nuestro proyecto, puedes suscribirte a nuestro boletín.

Puedes leer las páginas del proyecto, consultar nuestras preguntas frecuentes, escribir en la página de discusión del proyecto, y unirte a una reunión online con nosotros (27 jasyteĩ (arapo), 15:00 UTC).

Hola a toda/os.

Está prevista una votación en SecurePoll del 7 al 21 de marzo de 2022 como parte del proceso de ratificación de las pautas de ejecución del Código de Conducta Universal (CdCU). Se invita a los votantes elegibles a responder a una pregunta de la encuesta y a compartir sus comentarios. Leer información sobre el votante y detalles de elegibilidad. Durante la encuesta, se preguntará a los votantes si apoyan la ejecución del Código de Conducta Universal sobre la base de las pautas propuestas.

El Código de Conducta Universal (CdCU) proporciona una base de comportamiento aceptable para todo el movimiento. Las pautas de ejecución revisadas se publicaron el 24 de enero de 2022 como una propuesta para aplicar la política en todo el movimiento. Una declaración de la Junta de la Fundación Wikimedia pide un proceso de ratificación en el que los votantes con derecho a voto tendrán la oportunidad de apoyar u oponerse a la adopción de las pautas de ejecución del CdCU en una votación. Se invita a los wikimedistas a traducir y compartir cualquier información importante. Para más información sobre el CdCU, consulta la página del proyecto y preguntas frecuentes en meta.

Hay eventos programados para aprender más y discutir:

• Un panel comunitario el 18 de febrero de 2022 a las 15:00 UTC comparte las perspectivas de los participantes de las comunidades pequeñas y medianas.
• El equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento (MSG) organiza las conversaciones del 4 de marzo de 2022 a las 15:00 UTC. Por favor, apúntate a estas horas de conversación para interactuar con el equipo del proyecto y el comité de redacción sobre las pautas de ejecución actualizadas y el proceso de ratificación. Consulta los resúmenes de las horas de conversación previas.

Several improvements around templates

Hello, from March 9, several improvements around templates will become available on your wiki:

• Fundamental improvements of the VisualEditor template dialog (1, 2),
• Improvements to make it easier to put a template on a page (3) (for the template dialogs in VisualEditor, 2010 Wikitext and New Wikitext Mode),
• and improvements in the syntax highlighting extension CodeMirror (4, 5) (which is available on wikis with writing direction left-to-right).

All these changes are part of the “Templates” project by WMDE Technical Wishes. We hope they will help you in your work, and we would love to hear your feedback on the talk pages of these projects.

¡Hola!

Los equipos de Comunicación del Movimiento y Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento te invitan a discutir el Plan Anual de la Fundación Wikimedia 2022-23, un plan de trabajo de la Fundación Wikimedia.

Estas conversaciones continúan la gira de escucha de Maryana Iskander de la Fundación Wikimedia.

Las conversaciones giran en torno a estas preguntas:

• La Estrategia del Movimiento Wikimedia 2030 establece una dirección hacia el "conocimiento como servicio" y la "equidad del conocimiento". La Fundación Wikimedia quiere planificar según estos dos objetivos. ¿Cómo crees que la Fundación Wikimedia debería aplicarlos a nuestro trabajo?
• La Fundación Wikimedia sigue explorando mejores formas de trabajar a nivel regional. Hemos aumentado nuestro enfoque regional en áreas como las subvenciones, las nuevas funciones y las conversaciones con la comunidad. ¿Qué está funcionando bien? ¿Cómo podemos mejorar?
• Cualquiera puede contribuir al proceso de la Estrategia de Movimiento. Recopilemos tus actividades, ideas, peticiones y lecciones aprendidas. ¿Cómo puede la Fundación Wikimedia apoyar mejor a los voluntarios y afiliados que trabajan en las actividades de la Estrategia de Movimiento?

Puedes encontrar el calendario de llamadas en meta.

La información estará disponible en varios idiomas. Cualquier persona podrá asistir a cada llamada. En algunas llamadas habrá interpretación en directo.

Próximos pasos: Código Universal de Conducta (CdCU) y pautas de ejecución del CdCU

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

El Comité de Asuntos Comunitarios de la junta directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia quiere dar las gracias a todos los que participaron en la recién concluida votación de la comunidad sobre las pautas de ejecución del Código Universal de Conducta (CdCU).

El grupo de escrutadores voluntarios ha completado la revisión de la exactitud de la votación y ha informado de que el número total de votos recibidos es de 2.283. De los 2.283 votos recibidos, un total de 1.338 (58,6%) miembros de la comunidad votaron a favor de las pautas de ejecución, y un total de 945 (41,4%) miembros de la comunidad votaron en contra. Además, 658 participantes dejaron comentarios, el 77% de los cuales estaban escritos en inglés.

Reconocemos y apreciamos la pasión y el compromiso que los miembros de la comunidad han demostrado para crear una cultura segura y acogedora que ponga fin a los comportamientos hostiles y tóxicos, apoye a las personas objeto de dichos comportamientos y anime a las personas de buena fe a ser productivas en los proyectos Wikimedia.

Incluso en esta fase incompleta, esto es evidente en los comentarios recibidos. Aunque las pautas de ejecución alcanzaron el umbral de apoyo necesario para que la junta las revisara, animamos a los votantes, independientemente del sentido de su voto, a que aportaran sus comentarios sobre los elementos de las pautas de ejecución que consideraban que debían cambiarse o arreglarse, así como el motivo, por si parecía aconsejable lanzar una nueva ronda de ediciones que abordaran las preocupaciones de la comunidad.

El personal de la Fundación que ha estado revisando los comentarios nos ha informado de algunos de los temas emergentes, y como resultado hemos decidido, como Comité de Asuntos Comunitarios, pedir a la Fundación que vuelva a convocar al comité de redacción y que lleve a cabo otro contacto con la comunidad para perfeccionar las pautas de ejecución basándose en las opiniones de la comunidad recibidas en la votación recientemente concluida.

Para mayor claridad, estos comentarios se han agrupado en 4 secciones, como se indica a continuación:

1. Identificar el tipo, la finalidad y la aplicabilidad de la formación;
2. Simplificar el lenguaje para facilitar su traducción y comprensión por parte de los no expertos;
3. Explorar el concepto de afirmación, incluyendo sus pros y sus contras;
4. Revisar las funciones contradictorias de la privacidad/protección de la víctima y el derecho a ser escuchado.

Es posible que surjan otros problemas durante las conversaciones, y sobre todo a medida que evolucione el borrador de las pautas de ejecución, pero consideramos que éstas son las principales áreas de preocupación para los votantes y pedimos al personal que facilite la revisión de estos temas. Tras un mayor compromiso, la Fundación debería volver a realizar la votación de la comunidad para evaluar el borrador renovado de las pautas de ejecución, para ver si el nuevo documento está entonces listo para su ratificación oficial.

Además, somos conscientes de la preocupación que suscita la nota 3.1 de la Política del Código de Conducta Universal. Estamos ordenando a la Fundación que facilite una revisión de este lenguaje para asegurar que la política cumple sus propósitos de apoyar una comunidad segura e inclusiva, sin esperar a la revisión prevista de toda la política a finales de año.

Una vez más, agradecemos a todas las personas que han participado, reflexionando sobre estos retos críticos y difíciles y contribuyendo a mejorar los enfoques de todo el movimiento para trabajar bien en conjunto.

Saludos,

Rosie

Coming soon: Improvements for templates

Fundamental changes in the template dialog.

Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:

The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.

• project page, talk page

In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.

• project page, talk page

Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

We would love to hear your feedback on our talk pages!

Se buscan voluntarios electorales para la próxima elección a la Junta Directiva de la WMF

<languages/> El equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento está buscando miembros de la comunidad para actuar como voluntarios en las próximas elecciones de la junta directiva.

La idea del programa de voluntariado electoral surgió durante la elección de la junta directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia de 2021. Este programa resultó ser un éxito. Con la ayuda de los Voluntarios Electorales pudimos aumentar el alcance y la participación en las elecciones en 1.753 votantes con respecto a 2017. La participación general fue del 10,13%, 1,1 puntos porcentuales más, y 214 wikis estuvieron representados en las elecciones.

Un total de 74 wikis que no participaron en 2017 generaron votantes en las elecciones de 2021. ¿Puedes ayudar a mejorar la participación?

Los voluntarios electorales ayudarán en las siguientes áreas:

• Traducir mensajes cortos y anunciar el proceso electoral en curso en los canales comunitarios
• Opcional: Supervisar los canales comunitarios para recibir comentarios y preguntas de la comunidad

Los voluntarios deben:

• Mantener la política de espacio amigable durante las conversaciones y eventos
• Presentar las indicaciones y la información de la votación a la comunidad de forma neutral

¿Quieres ser voluntario electoral y asegurarte de que tu comunidad está representada en la votación? Inscríbete aquí para recibir actualizaciones. Puedes utilizar la página de conversación para hacer preguntas sobre la traducción

Revisiones de las pautas de ejecución del Código Universal de Conducta (CdCU)

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola a toda/os,

Nos gustaría ofrecer una actualización del trabajo sobre las pautas de ejecución del Código de Conducta Universal. Tras la conclusión de la votación de la comunidad sobre las pautas en marzo, el Comité de Asuntos Comunitarios (CAC) de la Junta pidió que se revisaran varias áreas de las pautas para mejorarlas antes de que la junta haga su revisión final. Estas áreas se identificaron a partir de los debates y comentarios de la comunidad durante la votación. El CAC también pidió que se revisara la controvertida Nota del 3.1 del propio CdCU.

Una vez más, ¡muchas gracias a todos los que han votado, especialmente a los que han dejado opiniones y comentarios constructivos! El equipo del proyecto está trabajando con la Junta para establecer un calendario para este trabajo, y lo comunicará el próximo mes.

Los integrantes de los dos anteriores comités de redacción del CdCU han ofrecido generosamente su tiempo para ayudar a dar forma a las mejoras de las pautas. Puedes leer más sobre ellos y su trabajo aquí, así como leer resúmenes de sus reuniones semanales en 2022.

Los wikimedistas han aportado muchos comentarios valiosos junto con la votación y en otras conversaciones. Dado el tamaño y la diversidad de la comunidad Wikimedia, hay aún más voces que pueden dar ideas sobre cómo mejorar las pautas de ejecución y añadir ideas aún más valiosas al proceso. Para ayudar al comité de revisiones a identificar mejoras, se solicitan aportaciones sobre varias cuestiones para la revisión del comité. Visita las páginas en meta (Discusiones sobre la revisión de las pautas, Discusiones sobre la revisión del texto de las políticas) para hacer llegar tus ideas al comité: es muy importante que se escuchen los puntos de vista de las distintas comunidades antes de que el comité comience a redactar las propuestas de revisión.

En nombre del equipo del proyecto del CdCU,

Oscar . (WMF) 12:10 26 jasypo 2022 (UTC)

Actualización sobre el proyecto de Mejoras de Escritorio

Haciendo este el nuevo default

Hola. Quería ponerte al día sobre el proyecto Mejoras de escritorio, en el que el equipo web de la Fundación Wikimedia ha estado trabajando estos últimos años a partir del feedback recibido en nuestras wikis piloto. ¡Nuestro trabajo está casi finalizado! 🎉

Nos encantaría que estas mejoras se convirtieran en la opción por defecto para lectores/as y editores/as de todas las wikis. Durante las próximas semanas, mantendremos conversaciones con las comunidades de más wikis, incluida la tuya. 🗓️ Estaremos encantados de contar con tus sugerencias.

Los objetivos del proyecto son hacer la interfaz más accesible y cómoda para los lectores y más útil para los usuarios avanzados. El proyecto consiste en una serie de mejoras de las funcionalidades que facilitan la lectura y el aprendizaje, la navegación dentro de la página, la búsqueda, el cambio de idioma, el uso de las pestañas de los artículos y el menú de usuario, etc. Las mejoras ya son visibles por defecto para los lectores/as y editores/as de más de 30 wikis, entre las que se encuentran las Wikipedias en Francés, Portugués, y Persa.

Los cambios se aplican sólo a la apariencia Vector, aunque siempre será posible volver a la versión anterior de manera individual. Los usuarios de Monobook o Timeless no notarán ningún cambio.

Las nuevas funcionalidades

• Índice de contenidos - más fácil de localizar, de identificar el contexto de la página así como navegar por ella sin necesidad de desplazarse. Actualmente se está probando en nuestras wikis piloto. También está disponible para los editores que hayan optado por la apariencia Vector 2022 en sus Preferencias.
• Herramientas de página - ahora, hay dos tipos de enlaces en la barra lateral. Existen acciones y herramientas para páginas individuales, como los Cambios en enlazadas, y enlaces que afectan a toda la wiki, como los Cambios recientes. Vamos a separarlos en dos menús intuitivos.

Cómo activar las mejoras

Preferencias globales

• Es posible activar la nueva apariencia Vector 2022 en la pestaña de apariencia dentro de las preferencias seleccionando "Vector (2022)". También es posible activarla en todas las wikis utilizando las preferencias globales.
• En las wikis en las que los cambios son visibles por defecto para todos los editores, siempre pueden optar por utilizar la versión heredada de vector (2010). Hay un enlace fácilmente accesible en la barra lateral de la nueva Vector (2022).

Proponer declaraciones para la brújula electoral de 2022

Hola a toda/os,

Se invita a los voluntarios en las elecciones de la junta directiva de 2022 a que propongan declaraciones para utilizarlas en la brújula electoral.

La brújula electoral es una herramienta que ayuda a los votantes a seleccionar a los candidatos que mejor se ajustan a sus creencias y puntos de vista. Los miembros de la comunidad propondrán declaraciones para que los candidatos respondan utilizando una escala Lickert (de acuerdo/neutral/desacuerdo). Las respuestas de los candidatos a las declaraciones se cargarán en la herramienta de la brújula electoral. Los votantes utilizarán la herramienta introduciendo su respuesta a las declaraciones (de acuerdo/desacuerdo/neutral). Los resultados mostrarán los candidatos que mejor se ajustan a las creencias y opiniones del votante.

Este es el cronograma de la Brújula Electoral:

Del 8 al 20 de julio: los voluntarios proponen declaraciones para la Brújula Electoral

21 - 22 de julio: El comité electoral revisa las declaraciones para que sean más claras y elimina las declaraciones que no son de interés.

23 de julio - 1 de agosto: los voluntarios votan las declaraciones

2 - 4 de agosto: El comité electoral selecciona las 15 mejores declaraciones

5 - 12 de agosto: los candidatos se alinean con las declaraciones

15 de agosto: se abre la Brújula Electoral para que los votantes puedan guiarse en su decisión de voto

El comité electoral seleccionará las 15 mejores declaraciones a principios de agosto. El comité electoral supervisará el proceso, con el apoyo del equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento. El MSG comprobará que las preguntas sean claras, que no haya duplicados, que no haya errores tipográficos, etc.

Saludos,

Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento

Tóma un momento para agradecer a los representantes de los afiliados y a los miembros del Comité de Análisis su participación en este proceso y su contribución al crecimiento de la junta directiva en cuanto a capacidad y diversidad. Estas horas de trabajo voluntario nos conectan a través de la comprensión y la perspectiva. Gracias por tu participación.

Gracias a los miembros de la comunidad que se presentaron como candidatos a la junta directiva. Considerar la posibilidad de formar parte de la junta directiva no es una decisión fácil. El tiempo y la dedicación que los candidatos han mostrado hasta este momento hablan de su compromiso con este movimiento. Enhorabuena a los candidatos que han sido seleccionados. Un gran reconocimiento y gratitud para aquellos candidatos no seleccionados. Por favor, sigan compartiendo su liderazgo con el movimiento Wikimedia.

Aplazamiento en la elección de la junta directiva de 2022

Puedes encontrar este mensaje traducido a otros idiomas en meta.

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola a toda/os,

Hoy me pongo en contacto en relación con el calendario de votaciones para la elección de la junta directiva.

Como muchos de ustedes ya saben, este año ofrecemos una Brújula electoral para ayudar a los votantes a identificar la postura de los candidatos en algunos temas clave. Varios candidatos solicitaron una ampliación de la restricción de caracteres en sus respuestas ampliando sus posiciones, y el Comité Electoral consideró que su razonamiento era coherente con los objetivos de un proceso electoral justo y equitativo.

Para garantizar que las declaraciones más largas puedan traducirse a tiempo para las elecciones, el Comité Electoral y el Grupo de Trabajo para la Selección de la Junta Directiva decidieron retrasar una semana la apertura de las elecciones de la Junta Directiva, tiempo que el equipo de apoyo a las elecciones propuso como ideal.

Aunque no se espera que todo el mundo quiera utilizar la brújula electoral para fundamentar su decisión de voto, el Comité Electoral consideró que era más apropiado abrir el periodo de votación con traducciones esenciales para que los miembros de la comunidad, en todos los idiomas, puedan utilizarla si desean tomar esta importante decisión.

La votación se abrirá el 23 de agosto a las 00:00 UTC y se cerrará el 6 de septiembre a las 23:59 UTC.

Atentamente,

Matanya, en nombre del Comité Electoral

Invitación al Foro de Estrategia del Movimiento

Hola a toda/os,

Le invito a participar activamente del foro de la Estrategia del Movimiento (Foro MS), un espacio de colaboración multilingüe para llevar todas las conversaciones sobre la aplicación de las recomendaciones de la estrategia del movimiento.

El foro busca mantener conversaciones eficaces sobre la Estrategia de Movimiento para aplicar en las comunidades y conectar con las iniciativas que ya se están implementando y cómo estás se pueden propulsar y financiar. La posibilidad de traducciones automáticas en la plataforma ofrece la participación multilingüe inclusiva a través de distintos actores del movimiento.

La idea no es suplantar meta-wiki u otras avenidas de comunicación; se desea elevar las conversaciones e integrar a personas que no están en la discusión de estrategia al día de hoy.

Les espero, pueden registrarse y seguir las conversaciones siguiendo este enlace, también les dejo un pequeño tutorial para guiarse por el sitio. Oscar . (WMF) 13:25 26 jasypoapy 2022 (UTC)

Revisiones de las pautas de ejecución del Código de Conducta Universal

El comité de revisiones de las pautas de ejecución del Código de Conducta Universal solicita comentarios y sugerencias con respecto al borrador revisado de las pautas de ejecución para el Código de Conducta Universal (CdCU). Este período de corrección estará abierto hasta el 7 de octubre de 2022.

El comité voluntario trabajó para revisar este borrador de pautas en función de los aportes recopilados del período de discusión de la comunidad de mayo a julio, así como la votación de la comunidad que concluyó en marzo de 2022. Las revisiones se centran en las siguientes cuatro áreas:

• Identificar el tipo, propósito y aplicabilidad de la capacitación del CdCU;
• Simplificar el lenguaje para permitir una traducción y comprensión más accesibles por parte de los no expertos;
• Explorar el concepto de afirmación, incluidos sus pros y sus contras;
• Revisar el equilibrio de la privacidad del acusador y el acusado

Cualquiera puede compartir comentarios en diferentes lugares, pero primordialmente serán bienvenidos a través de la página de discusión en meta (en cualquier idioma).

También se han planificado diferentes sesiones de debate (Office Hours en inglés) para conversar sobre el proyecto, y se contará con una en específico con interpretación simultánea al español, fijada para el día lunes, 3 de octubre a las 21:00 UTC.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

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.

• Top of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

• A section of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

About the skin

[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?

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

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.

Request for more time to discuss the change

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 jasyporundy 2022 (UTC)

Hola. Soy Isabel Zapico, Product Ambassador del equipo web de la Wikimedia Foundation para el proyecto de Mejoras de Escritorio (Vector 2022). Si tienes cualquier duda sobre la nueva skin Vector 2022 puedes contactarme directamente y haré todo lo posible por darte una respuesta. Además, por si lo prefieres, en este enlace puedes leer el mensaje anterior en español (por si te es más cómodo). En unos días, Vector 2022 se convertirá en la apariencia predeterminada de esta Wikipedia y queremos asegurarnos de que toda la comunidad está informada. Quedo a vuestra disposición. Saludos.

Invitación al encuentro "Pregunta lo que sea sobre la Carta del Movimiento"

Puedes encontrar este mensaje traducido a otros idiomas en meta.

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola a todo el mundo,

Durante el Summit Wikimedia 2022, el Comité de Redacción de la Carta del Movimiento (MCDC) presentó los primeros borradores de la Carta del Movimiento, dando una idea de la Carta y también de la dirección de su trabajo en el futuro. A continuación, el MCDC integró los comentarios recogidos durante el Summit. Ahora, y antes de avanzar en la redacción de la Carta, el MCDC quiere conversar con las comunidades y recabar opiniones sobre los borradores de las tres secciones: Preámbulo, Valores y Principios, y Funciones y Responsabilidades (declaración de intenciones). El período de consulta a la comunidad sobre la Carta del Movimiento tendrá lugar del 20 de noviembre al 18 de diciembre de 2022 y los borradores de la Carta del Movimiento deberán estar disponibles en Meta aquí desde el 14 de noviembre de 2022. Obtenga más información al respecto aquí.

Pero antes de la consulta, y con el objetivo de asegurar que la gente esté bien informada para participar plenamente en las conversaciones, y capacitada para contribuir con su perspectiva sobre la Carta del Movimiento, se ha programado un encuentro llamado Pregunta lo que sea sobre la Carta del Movimiento que se repetirá tres veces para acomodar a diferentes comunidades e interpretación de idiomas. Todas las personas del Movimiento Wikimedia están invitadas a asistir a estas conversaciones. El objetivo es charlar acerca de la Carta del Movimiento - su objetivo, propósito, por qué es importante, y cómo afecta a la comunidad. El encuentro contará con la participación del MCDC para responder a preguntas y escuchar los comentarios de la comunidad.

Sólo se grabará y se compartirá la presentación del encuentro. Las conversaciones no se grabarán. La información en detalle:

• Asia/Pacífico: 4 de noviembre de 2022 a las 09:00 UTC (su hora local). Habrá interpretación en mandarín y japonés.
• MENA/África Subsahariana/Europa: 12 de noviembre de 2022 a las 15:00 UTC (su hora local). Habrá interpretación en árabe, francés y ruso.
• América del Norte y América del Sur/Europa Occidental: 12 de noviembre de 2022 a las 15:00 UTC (su hora local). Habrá interpretación en español y portugués.

En Meta están todos los detalles. Los enlaces de zoom de cada encuentro se compartirán 48 horas antes.

Otra información: Convocatoria para personas embajadoras de la Carta del Movimiento (individuales o grupos)

Personas o grupos de personas de cualquier comunidad Wikimedia que quieran iniciar conversaciones en sus comunidades sobre la Carta del Movimiento pueden convertirse en Personas Embajadoras de la Carta del Movimiento (MC Ambassadors, en inglés). Esas personas llevarán a cabo actividades propias y en sus propios idiomas para las que obtendrán apoyo financiero. El equipo de Facilitación regional de la Estrategia del Movimiento y Gobernanza de la Fundación Wikimedia está disponible para apoyarles con las solicitudes. Las personas interesadas deben inscribirse aquí. Preguntas específicas pueden ser enviadas por correo electrónico: strategy2030@wikimedia.org o compartidas en el Movement Strategy Forum.

¡Gracias por su participación!

¿Cómo puedes participar y compartir tu opinión?

El MCDC está deseando recibir todo tipo de comentarios en diferentes idiomas de los miembros de la comunidad de todo el movimiento y de los afiliados. Puedes participar de las siguientes maneras:

• Asistir a las horas de conversación comunitaria con los miembros del MCDC. Los detalles sobre las horas de conversación de la comunidad regional se publican aquí
• Rellenar una encuesta (opcional y anónima)
• Comparte tus opiniones y comentarios en la página de conversación en meta
• Comparte tus pensamientos y opiniones en el Foro de estrategia:
  • Preámbulo
  • Valores y Principios
  • Roles y responsabilidades (declaración de intenciones)
• Envía un correo electrónico a Tembiecharã:nospam si tienes otros comentarios para el MCDC.

La hora de consulta comunitaria para América Latina y el Caribe tendrá lugar el miércoles, 7 de diciembre de 2022, 20:00 - 21h30 UTC de Zoom. Se traducirá al castellano y portugués. Las conversaciones no se grabarán, excepto la sección en la que se invita a los participantes a compartir lo que han debatido en las salas de reunión. Tomaremos notas y elaboraremos un informe resumido después.

Si quieres saber más sobre la Carta del Movimiento, sus objetivos, por qué es importante y cómo afecta a tu comunidad, mira la grabación de las sesiones "Pregúntame lo que quieras sobre la Carta del Movimiento" que tuvieron lugar a principios de noviembre de 2022.

Oportunidades abiertas para la comisión de Inspectores de Privacidad y el Comité de Revisión de Casos

¡Hola a toda/os! La comisión de inspectores de privacidad (Ombuds) y el comité de revisión de casos (CRC) están buscando miembros. Se anima a las personas a que se nominen a sí mismas o animen a otras que consideren que podrían contribuir a estos grupos a que lo hagan. Más abajo encontrarás más información sobre la oportunidad y las aptitudes que se necesitan.

Sobre la Comisión de Inspectores de Privacidad (Ombuds)

La Comisión de Inspectores de Privacidad (Ombuds) trabaja en todos los proyectos Wikimedia para investigar las quejas sobre violaciones de la política de privacidad, especialmente en el uso de las herramientas CheckUser y Oversight (también conocidas como Supresión). La Comisión media entre las partes de la investigación y, cuando se identifican violaciones de las políticas, asesora a la Fundación Wikimedia sobre la mejor forma de actuar. También puede ayudar al Consejero General, a la Directora Ejecutiva o a la Junta Directiva de la Fundación en estas investigaciones cuando sea legalmente necesario. Para más información sobre los deberes y funciones de la Comisión, véase la página en meta.

Los voluntarios que desempeñen esta función deben ser wikimedistas experimentados, activos en cualquier proyecto, que hayan utilizado previamente las herramientas CheckUser/Supervisión o que tengan la capacidad técnica para comprender estas herramientas y la voluntad de aprenderlas. Deben ser capaces de comunicarse en inglés, la lengua de uso común de la comisión. Se espera de ellos que sean capaces de participar con neutralidad en la investigación de estos asuntos y que sepan cuándo recusarse cuando otras funciones y relaciones puedan causar conflictos. Los comisionados ejercerán sus funciones durante dos años (nótese que esto es diferente de años anteriores, en los que los mandatos han sido de un año).

Sobre el Comité de Revisión de Casos (CRC)

El Comité de Revisión de Casos (CRC) revisa las apelaciones de las acciones elegibles de la oficina de Confianza y Seguridad. El CRC es un nivel crítico de supervisión para garantizar que las acciones de la oficina de la Fundación Wikimedia sean justas e imparciales. También se asegura de que la Fundación Wikimedia no sobrepase las prácticas o los límites establecidos. Para más información sobre esta función, véase la página en meta.

Buscamos funcionarios actuales o antiguos y voluntarios con experiencia interesados en unirse a este grupo. Los candidatos deben hablar inglés con fluidez (los idiomas adicionales son una gran ventaja) y estar dispuestos a cumplir los términos de la carta del Comité. Si el trabajo te resulta interesante y reúnes los requisitos, presenta tu candidatura. Los miembros del Comité tendrán un mandato de dos años (a diferencia de años anteriores, en los que el mandato era de un año).

Solicitar el ingreso en cualquiera de estos grupos

Los miembros deben firmar el Acuerdo de confidencialidad de información no pública y deben estar dispuestos a cumplir las políticas apropiadas de la Junta Directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia (como la Política de acceso a información no pública y la Política de privacidad de la Fundación). Estos puestos requieren un alto grado de discreción y confianza. Además, los miembros deben ser mayores de 18 años.

Si estás interesado en desempeñar alguno de los cargos mencionados, escribe en inglés al equipo de Confianza y Seguridad a cawikimedia.org (para presentarte a la Comisión de Inspectores de Privacidad) o al Equipo Jurídico a legalwikimedia.org (para presentarte al CRC) con información sobre:

• Tus proyectos principales
• Idiomas que hablas/escribes
• Cualquier experiencia que tengas sirviendo en comités, sean o no del movimiento
• Tu opinión sobre lo que podrías aportar al Comité de Inspectores de Privacidad (Ombuds) o el CRC si eres elegido
• Cualquier experiencia que tengas con las herramientas de Checkuser o Oversight (solo Ombuds)
• Cualquier otra información que consideres relevante

El plazo de presentación de candidaturas finaliza el 31 de diciembre de 2022 en cualquier zona horaria.

Por favor, siéntete libre de pasar esta invitación a cualquier usuario que creas que puede estar cualificado e interesado. Muchas gracias.

Carta del Movimiento: Final de la ronda 1 de consultas a la comunidad

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola a toda/os,

En nombre del Comité de Redacción de la Carta del Movimiento (MCDC), nos gustaría dar las gracias a todas las personas que han participado en nuestro primer periodo de consulta a toda la comunidad sobre la Carta del Movimiento.

Personas de todo el Movimiento compartieron sus opiniones y pensamientos sobre el contenido de la Carta del Movimiento. Si aún no has tenido la oportunidad de compartir tu opinión, puedes hacerlo todavía leyendo los borradores y rellenando la encuesta anónima, accesible en más de 12 idiomas. La encuesta se cerrará el 2 de enero de 2023'. Te invitamos a seguir compartiendo tus opiniones con el MCDC también por correo electrónico: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.

¿Qué sigue?

El Equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento publicará el informe final con el resumen de las opiniones recibidas en enero de 2023. Se compartirá con el MCDC y las comunidades a través de distintos canales de distribución.

Tras recibir el informe final, el MCDC revisará las sugerencias y comunicará los cambios proporcionando una explicación sobre cómo y por qué se adoptaron o no las sugerencias en las siguientes versiones de los borradores. Habrá otras formas de comprometerse con el contenido de la Carta del Movimiento en 2023, entre las que se incluyen las primeras opiniones sobre un proceso de ratificación propuesto y nuevos borradores de diferentes capítulos en el segundo trimestre de 2023.

Te invitamos a suscribirte al Boletín mensual del MCDC, que se enviará a la página de discusión que elijas. Las novedades mensuales están disponibles en meta para mantenerte al día de los avances del MCDC.

Las personas interesadas aún pueden inscribirse para convertirse en Embajador de la Carta del Movimiento para apoyar a su comunidad. El programa de subvenciones del Programa de Embajadores volverá a aceptar solicitudes tanto de particulares como de grupos antes de la próxima ronda de consultas, que tendrá lugar en el segundo trimestre de 2023.

Te agradecemos tu participación, tiempo y esfuerzo para ayudar a construir la Carta de nuestro Movimiento.

En nombre del Comité de Redacción de la Carta del Movimiento,

Próxima votación sobre la revisión de las pautas de cumplimiento de la aplicación del Código de Conducta Universal.

Puedes encontrar este mensaje traducido a otros idiomas en Meta.

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hola a todas y todos,

A mediados de enero de 2023, postularemos las pautas de aplicación del Código de Conducta Universal a una segunda votación para que sean ratificadas por la comunidad. Esto se decidió a partir de que durante la votación en marzo de 2022, que dio como resultado un apoyo mayoritario de los votantes a las pautas de aplicación, los participantes plantearan importantes preocupaciones de la comunidad. El Comité de Asuntos Comunitarios solicitó que se revisaran estas áreas de inquietud.

El Comité de revisión, formado por voluntarios, trabajó intensamente analizando los aportes de la comunidad y realizó algunos cambios. Ellos actualizaron las áreas que preocupaban, como los requisitos de formación y afirmación, la privacidad y la transparencia en el proceso, y la legibilidad y traducibilidad del propio documento.

Las pautas de aplicación revisadas pueden verse aquí y una comparación de los cambios puede encontrarse aquí.

¿Cómo hago para votar?

A partir del 17 de enero de 2023, la votación estará abierta. En esta página de Meta se explica cómo votar utilizando SecurePoll.

¿Quiénes pueden votar?

Los requisitos de elegibilidad para tener derecho a votar son los mismos que para las elecciones del Consejo de Administración de Wikimedia. Consulta la página de información para electores para obtener más detalles sobre la elegibilidad de los votantes. Si tienes derecho a voto puedes utilizar tu cuenta de Wikimedia para acceder al servidor de votación.

¿Qué sucederá después de la votación?

El escrutinio definitivo del voto de los electores será computado por un grupo independiente de voluntarios y los resultados se publicarán en Wikimedia-l, en el foro de Estrategia del Movimiento, en Diff y en Meta. Los votantes podrán volver a votar y compartir las preocupaciones que tengan sobre las pautas. El Consejo de Administración de Wikimedia examinará los niveles de apoyo y las inquietudes planteadas mientras estudia cómo deben ratificarse o desarrollarse las pautas de aplicación.

Hola a toda/os.

Departamento Jurídico de la Fundación Wikimedia está organizando un ciclo de comentarios con los miembros de la comunidad para discutir la actualización de las Condiciones de Uso de Wikimedia

Las Condiciones de Uso (CdU) son las condiciones legales que rigen el uso de los sitios web alojados por la Fundación Wikimedia. Entre febrero y abril recogeremos tus comentarios sobre un borrador de propuesta. El borrador se traducirá a varios idiomas, y se aceptarán comentarios por escrito en cualquier idioma.

Esta actualización responde a varias cosas:

• Implementación del Código Universal de Conducta
• Actualización del texto del proyecto a la licencia Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0
• Propuesta para abordar mejor la edición remunerada no divulgada
• Adaptación de nuestras condiciones a las leyes vigentes y aprobadas recientemente que afectan a la Fundación, incluida la Ley Europea de Servicios Digitales.

Como parte del ciclo de información, se celebrarán dos reuniones en línea, la primera el 2 de marzo y la segunda el 4 de abril.

Para más información, consulta:

• La propuesta de actualización de las CdU por comparación

Su wiki será visto solo en modo lectura

Lee este mensaje en otro idioma • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

La Fundación Wikimedia prueba el cambio entre sus centros de datos principal y el de respaldo. Esto asegurará que Wikipedia y las demás wikis de Wikimedia puedan permanecer en línea, incluso después de un desastre. Para garantizar que todo esté funcionando, el departamento de Tecnología de Wikimedia realizará una prueba programada. Esta prueba mostrará si puede cambiar confiablemente de un centro de datos a otro. Requerirá que muchos equipos estén preparados para la prueba y que estén disponibles para arreglar cualquier problema inesperado.

Cambiarán todo el tráfico el 1 marzo. La prueba comenzará a las 14:00 UTC.

Lamentablemente, debido a algunas limitaciones en MediaWiki, toda edición deberá detenerse mientras se realiza el cambio. Nos disculpamos por la intermisión, y estamos trabajando para minimizarlo en el futuro.

Serán capaces de leer, pero no de editar, en todas las wikis por un período mínimo de tiempo.

• No podrás editar hasta por una hora el miércoles 1 marzo 2023.
• Si tratas de editar o guardar durante ese período, verás un mensaje de error. Esperamos que ninguna edición se pierda durante esos minutos, pero no podemos garantizarlo. Si ves el mensaje de error, por favor aguarda hasta que todo vuelva a la normalidad. Solo entonces podrás guardar tus ediciones. No obstante, se recomienda primero, que realices una copia de tus cambios por si acaso.

Otros efectos:

• Los trabajos en segundo plano estarán ralentizados y algunos podrían ser descartados. Los enlaces en rojo no serán actualizados de forma expedita como ocurre normalmente. Si creaste un artículo que ya está enlazado en otra parte, ese enlace seguirá estando en rojo por más tiempo de lo usual. Varios scripts de larga duración serán detenidos.
• Esperamos que las actualizaciones de código ocurran normalmente como una semana normal. Sin embargo, en algunos casos podría ocurrir un bloqueo del código, si la operación lo requiere después.
• GitLab no estará disponible por cerca de 90 minutos.

Este proyecto podrá ser aplazado de ser necesario. Puedes consultar la agenda en wikitech.wikimedia.org. Cualquier cambio será anunciado en la agenda. Habrán más notificaciones al respecto. Se exhibirá un banner en todas las wikis 30 minutos antes de que esta operación ocurra. Favor compartir esta información con tu comunidad.

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

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

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 ucocprojectwikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

Hola a todo/as,

Me complace compartir el siguiente paso en el trabajo sobre el Código Universal de Conducta. El proyecto de estatuto para el Comité Coordinador del Código de Conducta Universal (U4C por sus siglas en inglés) ya está listo para que lo consultes.

Las pautas de aplicación requieren que un Comité de Construcción redacte unos estatutos que establezcan los procedimientos y detalles de un comité global que se llamaría Comité Coordinador del Código Universal de Conducta (U4C por sus siglas en inglés). Durante los últimos meses, el Comité de Construcción del U4C ha trabajado en conjunto para debatir y redactar los estatutos del U4C. El Comité de Construcción del U4C invita a enviar comentarios sobre el proyecto de estatuto antes del 22 de septiembre de 2023. Después de esa fecha, el Comité de Construcción del U4C revisará el estatuto según sea necesario y poco después se abrirá una votación en la comunidad.

Participa en la conversación durante las horas de conversación o en Meta-wiki.

Esperamos que tengas un excelente día,

La Fundación Wikimedia moverá el tráfico a otro de sus centros de datos (CPD). Esto permite asegurar que, incluso después de un desastre, Wikipedia y las demás wikis de Wikimedia puedan seguir funcionando. Para garantizar que todo funcione, el departamento de Tecnología de Wikimedia realizará una prueba programada. Esta prueba mostrará si puede cambiar con seguridad de un centro de datos a otro. Ello requiere que muchos equipos estén preparados para la prueba y estén disponibles para arreglar cualquier problema inesperado que pueda surgir.

Lamentablemente, debido a algunas limitaciones en MediaWiki, no será posible editar mientras se realiza el cambio. Nos disculpamos por esta interrupción, y estamos trabajando para minimizarla en el futuro.

Se podrán leer, pero no editar, todas las wikis durante un corto período de tiempo.

• No se podrá editar durante un máximo de una hora el miércoles 20 septiembre 2023.
• Si tratas de editar o guardar durante ese período, verás un mensaje de error. Esperamos que ninguna edición se pierda durante esos minutos, pero no podemos garantizarlo.

Otros efectos:

• Los trabajos en segundo plano funcionarán algo más lento y algunos podrían ser descartados. Los enlaces en rojo no serán actualizados de forma tan rápida como ocurre normalmente. Si creaste un artículo que ya está enlazado en otra parte, ese enlace seguirá estando en rojo un poco más de tiempo de lo habitual. Varios scripts de larga duración serán detenidos.
• Esperamos que las actualizaciones de código ocurran normalmente como una semana normal. Sin embargo, en algunos casos podría congelarse el despliegue del código, en caso de que fuera necesario.
• GitLab no estará disponible por cerca de 90 minutos.

Este proyecto podrá ser aplazado de ser necesario. Puedes consultar la agenda en wikitech.wikimedia.org. Cualquier cambio será anunciado en la agenda. Habrá más notificaciones al respecto.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?

Read this in your language • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma • 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.

Preferencias globales

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.

• Top of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

• A section of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

About the skin

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

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language.

Since September 2022, it is possible to create geopoints using a QID. Many wiki contributors have asked for this feature, but it is not being used much. Therefore, we would like to remind you about it. More information can be found on the project page. If you have any comments, please let us know on the talk page. – Best regards, the team of Technical Wishes at Wikimedia Deutschland

Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.

Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.

The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.

For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?

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)

Selección 2024 del Consejo Directivo de la Fundación Wikimedia

Pueden leer este mensaje traducido a otros idiomas en Meta-Wiki.

Más idiomas • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Estimados todos y todas,

Este año, el periodo de 4 (cuatro) integrantes del Consejo Directivo seleccionados por la Comunidad y Organizaciones Afiliadas llegará a su fin [1]. El Consejo invita a todo el movimiento a participar en el proceso de selección de este año y a votar para seleccionar a quienes ocuparán dichos puestos.

El Comité de Elecciones supervisará este proceso con apoyo de personal de la Fundación [2]. El Comité de Gobernanza del Consejo creó un Grupo de Trabajo de Elecciones del Consejo a partir de aquellos integrantes que no pueden ser candidatos o candidatas en el proceso de selección 2024 de integrantes comunitarios o afiliados. Este grupo está compuesto por Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, y Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. Este grupo tiene la tarea de supervisar al Consejoo para el proceso 2024 de elección de integrantes comunitarios de la Mesa, así como informar al Consejo Directivo de su proceso. Pueden encontrar más detalles acerca de los roles del Comité de Elecciones, el Consejo Directivo, y el personal aquí [4].

Aquí están las fechas planificadas:

• Mayo 2024: Convocatoria para candidatos/candidatas y solicitud de preguntas.
• Junio 2024: Las organizaciones Afiliadas votarán para reducir la lista a 12 candidatos o candidatas (este proceso no ocurrirá si se nominan 15 o menos candidatos) [5]
• Junio-Agosto 2024: Periodo de campaña
• Final de agosto / inicio de septiembre 2024: Periodo de votación de la comunidad por dos semanas
• Octubre-noviembre 2024: Revisión de trasfondo de candidatos/candidatas seleccionadas
• Reunión de la Mesa Directiva en diciembre 2024: Se instauran a los nuevos integrantes del Consejo Directivo

Pueden aprender más acerca del proceso de selección 2024—incluyendo un cronograma detallado, proceso de nominación de candidatos, reglas de campaña y criterios de elegibilidad de votantes—en esta página de Meta-wiki, para hacer sus planes de acuerdo a los detalles.

Voluntariado de elecciones

Otra forma de involucrarse con el proceso 2024 de selección es ser Voluntario o Voluntaria de Elecciones. El Voluntariado de Elecciones será un puente entre el Comité de Elecciones y su comunidad respectiva. El voluntariado ayudará a asegurar que su comunidad sea representada y los animará para votar. Pueden conocer más sobre este programa y cómo unirse en esta página en Meta-wiki.

Saludos cordiales,

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles

[5] Aunque el número ideal es de 12 candidatos/candidatas para cuatro posiciones vacantes, el proceso de reducción de la lista se llevará a cabo si hay más de 15 candidatos porque los 1-3 candidatos que serían removidos pueden sentirse alienados y sería demasiado trabajo para las organizaciones afiliadas llevar a cabo todo el proceso solamente para eliminar de 1-3 candidatos o candidatas de la lista.

Tu wiki estará en solo lectura pronto

Lee este mensaje en otro idioma • Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

La Fundación Wikimedia moverá el tráfico a otro de sus centros de datos (CPD). Esto permite asegurar que, incluso después de un desastre, Wikipedia y las demás wikis de Wikimedia puedan seguir funcionando.

Todo el tráfico cambiará al nuevo centro de datos el 20 marzo. La prueba comenzará a las 14:00 UTC.

Lamentablemente, debido a algunas limitaciones en MediaWiki, no será posible editar mientras se realiza el cambio. Nos disculpamos por esta interrupción, y estamos trabajando para minimizarla en el futuro.

Se podrán leer, pero no editar, todas las wikis durante un corto período de tiempo.

• No se podrá editar durante un máximo de una hora el miércoles 20 marzo 2024.
• Si tratas de editar o guardar durante ese período, verás un mensaje de error. Esperamos que ninguna edición se pierda durante esos minutos, pero no podemos garantizarlo. Si ves el mensaje de error, por favor aguarda hasta que todo vuelva a la normalidad. Después podrás guardar tus ediciones. Sin embargo, recomendamos que primero realices una copia de tus cambios, solo por si acaso.

Otros efectos:

• Los trabajos en segundo plano funcionarán algo más lento y algunos podrían ser descartados. Los enlaces en rojo no serán actualizados de forma tan rápida como ocurre normalmente. Si creaste un artículo que ya está enlazado en otra parte, ese enlace seguirá estando en rojo un poco más de tiempo de lo habitual. Varios scripts de larga duración serán detenidos.
• Esperamos que las actualizaciones de código ocurran normalmente como una semana normal. Sin embargo, en algunos casos podría congelarse el despliegue del código, en caso de que fuera necesario.
• GitLab no estará disponible por cerca de 90 minutos.

Este proyecto podrá ser aplazado de ser necesario. Puedes consultar la agenda en wikitech.wikimedia.org. Cualquier cambio será anunciado en la agenda. Habrá más notificaciones al respecto. Se mostrará un banner de aviso en todas las wikis 30 minutos antes de que ocurra esta operación. Comparte por favor esta información con tu comunidad.

Hello all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.

We look forward to your participation!

Hello all,

A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 2024.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.

No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.

Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting results

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

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.

¡Muy pronto: ¡una nueva función de sub-referenciación - ¡pruébala!

Hola. Durante muchos años, los miembros de la comunidad han solicitado una forma sencilla de reutilizar referencias con diferentes detalles. Ahora, llega una solución MediaWiki: la nueva función de sub-referencia funcionará para wikitexto y Editor Visual, y mejorará el sistema de referencia existente. Puedes seguir utilizando diferentes formas de referenciar, pero probablemente encontrarás sub-referencias en artículos escritos por otros usuarios. Más información en la página del proyecto.

Queremos tus comentarios para asegurarnos de que esta función funcione bien para ti:

• Pruebe el estado actual del desarrollo en la wiki beta y déjenos saber lo que piensa.
• Regístrese aquí para recibir actualizaciones y/o invitaciones para participar en actividades de investigación por usuarios.

El equipo de Technical Wishes de Wikimedia Deutschland tiene previsto incorporar esta función a los wikis de Wikimedia a finales de este año. Nos pondremos en contacto con los creadores y mantenedores de herramientas y plantillas relacionadas con las referencias con antelación.

• Esperamos que las actualizaciones de código ocurran normalmente como una semana normal. Sin embargo, en algunos casos podría congelarse el despliegue del código, en caso de que fuera necesario.
• GitLab no estará disponible por cerca de 90 minutos.

Este proyecto podrá ser aplazado de ser necesario. Puedes consultar la agenda en wikitech.wikimedia.org. Cualquier cambio será anunciado en la agenda.

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29 22 jasypa 2024 (UTC)
