Títols dels capítols

Hola! He vist que s'han fet uns canvis a a plantilla de navegació, i m'agrada com ha quedat! Però tinc una proposta: què us semblaria que a les pàgines on s'utilitza la plantilla no sortís el títol de la pàgina? La plantilla ja té forma d'encapçalament, i crec que podria quedar molt bé. --Unapersona (discussió) 15:58, 21 nov 2015 (CET) Faig ping a @Xavier Dengra:, que potser no ha vist el tema. :) --Unapersona (discussió) 15:59, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona: Vaig a fer proves amb el __NOTITLE__ dins la plantilla. Pot estar bé però no ho tinc massa clar. Si queda bé apujaré la mida del títol de navegar. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:45, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona: Eps, el __NOTITLE__ no funciona ja amb el Mediawiki actual. He trobat la solució següent:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);">{{FULLPAGENAME}}</span>}}

Però si vas a la meva pàgina de proves veuràs els problemes:

1. Quan cliques per editar, no et mostra què estàs editant,
2. Segueix mostrant el retorn a la pàgina principal,
3. Segueix quedant la línia grisa de sota el títol.

Si veus alguna solució ho seguim comentant, no ho veig mala idea. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 17:01, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Segurament es tractaria de fer el "truquet" del CSS que es fa servir a la portada. El que no sé és com fer que només afecti les pàgines on hi ha la plantilla. Suposo que es tractaria de fer una classe en el codi html de de la plantilla i llavors, posar el codi per eliminar el titol dins de la classe. Pero no se com fer-ho perquè el meu nivell de CSS no és gaire elevat. @Gerardduenas: podries mirar-ho? --Unapersona (discussió) 17:08, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona, Xavier Dengra: Revisc aquest tema. Ho sento que estic molt absent però no tinc gens de temps i dubto que en tingui fins el juny. No us emocioneu però perquè a l'estiu ja em tornareu a tenir per aquí donant pel sac. L'única opció és fer el mateix que a la portada, fer servir javascript per eliminar el títol, això no és massa aconsellable (s'intenta minimitzar el javascript per raons de velocitat de càrrega de la pàgina). A més a més Wikimedia intenta mantenir un estil més o menys coherent entre tots els projectes i llengues i desaconsella treure el títol. Ara, si es donés suport per treure'l (el meu vot és desaconsellable) teniu el codi al meu vector.js per provar-ho. Si voleu implementar-lo envieu-me un mail (o al de viquillibres o al personal). --Gerardduenas (discussió) 10:36, 4 gen 2016 (CET)

@Gerardduenas, Xavier Dengra: Torno a reviure el tema. He mirat el codi d'en Gerard i no crec que disminueixi la velocitat de càrrega, no? Són només tres línies i comparat amb els ginys com el HotCat no té res a veure. Jo el problema que li veig és només que Wikimedia intenta mantenir un estil coherent, però tampoc ho veig gaire problema. Només estem traient el títol, no estem canviant de lloc ni la caixa de cerca, ni les pestanyes. I, en tot cas, si es fes això es podria fer el títol que apareix a la plantilla una mica més gran. Al codi del Gerardduenas se l'hi ha d'afegir div#contentSub {display: none;} (ho dic de memòria, potser hi ha algun error) perquè també amagui la tornada a la portada del llibre. --Unapersona (discussió) 10:31, 14 abr 2016 (CEST)

@Unapersona, Gerardduenas: Jo no ho veig viable, la veritat. M'agradaria que ho fos, i de fet la idea m'agrada. Però hi ha molts capítols que no tenen la plantilla de navegació, i llibres acabats amb un estil determinat que tampoc la contemplen. A més a més estem en la mateixa situació; és un estil de Wikimedia que en cap altra Wikibooks sembla que han adoptat.

En tot cas, sí que acceptaria (si existís la manera), que es visualitzés la forma "El mocador", de Recull de jocs d'esplai en comptes de la forma ortopèdica d'ara... Però en general ho veig força poc probable. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 11:15, 14 abr 2016 (CEST)

@Xavier Dengra: a la versió en castellà utilitzen el gadget de la versió en francès fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-TitreDeluxe.js per tal de donar una mica de format als títols, traient aquesta forma "ortopèdica" que tenim per defecte. Tot i així, això encara treu més espai i no veig que pugui anar bé tenir aquest codi i la plantilla alhora. Potser, quan el @Gerardduenas: torni, el podria adaptar perquè mostrés el text que diu el Xavi. --Unapersona (discussió) 11:32, 14 abr 2016 (CEST)

@Unapersona, Xavier Dengra: Estic d'acord amb en Xavi de no canviar els títols. Unapersona, has de tenir en compte que el HotCat només se'ns carrega als editors i els són els lectors que no volem que s'esperin o que vegin coses que van canviant mentre es carrega la pàgina. Al cap i a la fi tampoc crec que sigui tant lleig... Ja falta poc perquè torni, tinc la sele a mitjans de juny --Gerardduenas (discussió) 18:04, 28 abr 2016 (CEST)

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (discussió) 20:06, 18 gen 2016 (CET)

Nova eina pel recompte de visites

Bones!

A causa del trencament de la pàgina stats.grok.se (que permetia visualitzar les estadístiques de visites de la viquipèdia), ha aparegut una nova pàgina d'anàlisi de visites. Hem tingut la sort que aquest cop, per fi permet veure les dels projectes germans: Pageviews Analysis.

A Viquillibres per exemple, si considerem la pàgina principal com a representativa de les visites al projecte, els darrers mesos estem en unes 160 visites diàries. Segur que ens servirà per veure quins llibres i pàgines tenen més popularitat i dirigir esforços i reptes. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 12:08, 10 feb 2016 (CET)

VisualEditor News #1—2016

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

Did you know?

Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.

If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.

Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.

Recent changes

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.

Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.

The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Modifica" and "Modifica el codi" tabs into a single "Modifica" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Modifica" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Caixa d'edició tab of Special:Preferences:

• Recorda el meu darrer editor,
• Sempre fes servir l’editor visual si és possible,
• Fes servir sempre l’editor de codi, and
• Mostra’m les dues opcions d’editor. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)

The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic.

Let's work together

• Please try out the newest version of the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of test2wiki:Special:Preferences) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see the large preferences dialog box when you started editing an article there?
• Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts? Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer David Chan needs to know. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.
• Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Join the Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it" with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.

If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Gràcies!

No editing two times this week

La Wikimedia Foundation posarà a prova el seu nou centre de dades a Dallas. Això permetrà a Wikipedia i altres wikis de Wikimedia a romandre en línia, fins i tot després d'un desastre. Per assegurar que tot està funcionant, el departament de Tecnologia de Wikimedia necessita dur a terme una prova programada. Aquesta prova mostrarà si es pot passar amb seguretat d'un centre de dades a un altre. Caldrà que molts equips estiguin preparats per realitzar la prova i hauran d'estar disponibles per a solucionar qualsevol problema inesperat.

Ells canviaran tot el trànsit al nou centre de dades a el dimarts, 19 d'abril.
El dijous, 21 d'abril, el tràfic canviarà de nou al centre de dades principal.

Malauradament, degut a limitacions de MediaWiki cal limitar la possibilitat d'editar durant aquests dos canvis. Demanem disculpes per aquesta interrupció. Estem treballant per a reduir l'impacte de noves interrupcions en el futur.

Podreu llegir, però no editar, tots els wikis durant una estona.

• No podreu editar durant uns 15 o 30 minuts el dimarts 19 d'abril i el dijous 21 d'abril, a partir de les 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
• Si intenteu editar o desar canvis durant aquestes interrupcions, veureu un missatge d'error. Esperem que no es perdi cap edició durant aquests minuts, però no podem garantir-ho. Si veieu el missatge d'error, espereu fins que tot torni a funcionar. Llavors hauríeu de poder desar la vostra edició. Tot i així, us recomanem que primer feu una còpia dels vostres canvis, per si un cas.

Altres efectes:

• Els treballs automàtics de rerefons aniran més lents, i alguns poden ser aturats. Potser els enllaços vermells no s'actualitzen tan ràpidament com és habitual. Si creeu un article que ja ha estat enllaçat en algun altre lloc, l'enllaç pot mantenir-se en vermell més estona que habitualment. Alguns scripts de llarga durada hauran de ser aturats.
• Durant la setmana del 18 d'abril no s'admetrà nou codi en els servidors (code freeze). Serà admesa la integració de canvis de codi essencials.

Aquesta prova va ser inicialment planejada per al 22 de març. Les noves dates són el 19 i el 21 d'abril. Podeu consultar les dates a wikitech.wikimedia.org. Qualsevol canvi serà publicat en aquella pàgina. Hi haurà més notificacions sobre aquesta interrupció. Si us plau, difongueu aquesta informació a la vostra comunitat. /Johan (WMF) (discussió) 23:17, 17 abr 2016 (CEST)

Cookbook week

Hello, I want to tell you that I've made a proposal for a Cookbook event on this Meta page.

I would be happy to see your comment ! Regards Archi38 (discussió) 20:17, 15 maig 2016 (CEST)

@Xavier Dengra, Gerardduenas: què en penseu? A mi em sembla interessant, tot i que no sé fins a quin punt ens arribarien nous contribuïdors al projecte. --Unapersona (discussió) 16:40, 16 maig 2016 (CEST)

Pot estar bé. Donaré el meu suport, però penso que per la primera setmana de juny és massa just, a falta que donin el seu parer bona part de les wikibooks i es pugui organitzar en condicions. A nivell català crec que a través d'Amical es podria incentivar d'alguna manera, però això ja seria cosa nostra. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 22:10, 16 maig 2016 (CEST)

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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. 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 or on this discussion thread. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

Nova plantilla navegar

Bones,

Proposo canviar la {{Navegar}} per la que ara està en proves a {{Navegar-proves}}. En teniu un exemple a Física bàsica de la medicina nuclear/Llei de la desintegració radioactiva.

• Pros

1. Reducció de l'espai.
2. Evita duplicacions.
3. Més integració visual.
4. No depén de botons ni línies, menys codi en definitiva.

• Contres

1. Problemes quan els títols dels capítols siguin massa llargs.
2. No es veu en versió mòbil (tot i que l'anterior tampoc) i podria descol·locar-se en certs navegadors.
3. Hauria d'estar integrada d'alguna manera al Mediawiki.

Per solucionar el problema de títols massa llargs, existiria la possibilitat que a partir d'un cert nombre de caràcters es desés automàticament com a punts suspensius? @Unapersona, Gerardduenas: Com veieu la proposta? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 15:23, 2 jul 2016 (CEST)

M'agrada més l'estil de la plantilla {{navegar}}, però estic d'acord a fer el canvi pels "pros" que exposes. Les fletxes potser haurien d'estar una mica més a prop de l'anterior i el següent. Pel que dius dels punts suspensius, no ho sé però potser es podria provar alguna cosa amb les expressions {{#if:}}. --Unapersona (discussió) 15:52, 2 jul 2016 (CEST)

I fer una subpàgina a tots els llibres amb l'índex i que la plantilla la fes servir? Incloure per defecte la plantilla a través de Mediawiki i fer una plantilla {{Nonavegar}} per evitar l'inclusió a certes pàgines.--Gerardduenas (discussió) 13:38, 3 jul 2016 (CEST)

@Gerardduenas, Unapersona: Ho veuria bé, però tenim 154 llibres... Seria massa feina. Jo crec que millor que surti per inclusió de la plantilla que no per defecte. És a dir, que si es vol que aparegui, millor incloure-la a la pàgina i no que surti per defecte i haguem de "tapar" amb altres plantilles per a que no aparegui; pot haver llibres en què no és adient i no tenim prou mans per a seleccionar-ho. Si modifiquem l'actual per la nova, ja ens assegurem que les que requereixen navegació la porten inclosa. El que diu n'Unapersona de l'{{#if:}} podria estar bé, i que automàticament a partir de X caràcters deixi punts suspensius. Com demanaves, Unapersona, apropo les fletxes a les paraules. No m'havia adonat que havíeu participat al fil fins ara! Si voleu anar fent proves, endavant. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 18:19, 12 jul 2016 (CEST)

@Xavier Dengra: no sé perquè, però la plantilla es solapa amb la primera línia de text. Prova de fer zoom i ho veuràs. A mi només em surt bé de 90% cap avall. Vaig donar un cop d'ull a les paraules màgiques de mediawiki i no en vaig veure cap que calculés el nombre de caràcters. Alguna idea @Gerardduenas:? --Unapersona (discussió) 21:55, 12 jul 2016 (CEST)

@Unapersona: Se't solapa perquè he canviat els capítols d'exemple i n'he posat uns de més llargs que provoquen un salt de línia; llavors passa a menjar-se el text. Per això dic que aviam si podem trobar la solució per a aquest problema i que ocupi tot només una línia... Se m'acudeix un "overflow:auto" com els el llibre de cuina però en horitzontal, tot i que no sé si podria fer-se. Si vols que es vegi bé de nou posa'n algun de títol més curt, jo estava provant. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 23:06, 12 jul 2016 (CEST)

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Desa la pàgina” button to “Publica la pàgina” and “Publica els canvis”. “Publica la pàgina” will be used when you create a new page. “Publica els canvis” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]

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 “Publica la pàgina” and “Publica els canvis”.

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 “Desa la pàgina” 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 “Desa la pàgina” 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 “Publica la pàgina” and “Publica els canvis”.

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

Editing News #3—2016

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

Did you know?

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?

Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.

Recent changes

• You can now set text as small or big.[3]
• Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[4] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[5]
• Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[6]
• At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.[7]
• The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[8] In the future, the "Desa la pàgina" button will say "Publica la pàgina". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
• Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.[9]

Future changes

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

• Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Gràcies!

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 (discussió) / MediaWiki message delivery (discussió) 00:59, 14 nov 2016 (CET)

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 "Habilita automàticament la majoria de funcions 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)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

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

Read-only mode for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May

Read this message in another language • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

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)

Editing News #1—2017

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

Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "Revisa els canvis".

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
• A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [10]
• The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [11]
• You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [12]
• The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [13]
• The Categories item has been moved to the top of the Opcions de la pàgina menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [14] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [15]
• You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [16]
• Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [17]
• The Caràcter especial menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [18]
• A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [19]
• There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K or Command+K respectively. [20]

Future changes

• The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [21]
• The kind of button used to Mostra una previsualització, Mostra els canvis, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [22]
• The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [23]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Gràcies!

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Gràcies!

Editing News #1—2018

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

Did you know?

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
• The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [24]
• Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [25]
• The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

• The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
• Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
• The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [26]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Gràcies!

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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

(Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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

(Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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!

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

(Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Administradors de la interfície) 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 • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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

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

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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.

Gràcies!

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.

Pla estratègic d'Amical Wikimedia 2019-2024

Hola a tothom,

Durant l'assemblea d'Amical Wikimedia del proppassat dissabte 19 de gener es va ratificar la proposta de procediment i cronologia per a definir els principis, les prioritats i els objectius de l'associació a curt i llarg termini, que vindran sobretot marcats per la creació d'un nou Pla Estratègic per als propers cinc anys, del 2019 al 2024.*

El pas preliminar seria la creació d'una Comissió d'Estratègia, que el 10 de febrer publicaria a Meta-Wiki la Fase 1. Aquesta consistiria en una primera ronda participativa i oberta, no només als socis, sinó també a la resta de comunitat viquimedista i no viquimedista que pugui ser-hi interessada.

Ara mateix necessitaríem que totes aquelles persones que us animeu a participar en aquesta Comissió d'Estratègia envieu un correu electrònic a la junta entrant d'Amical Wikimedia - amical @ wikimedia.cat - per tal d'establir conjuntament unes metodologies de treball per als propers passos.

Podeu fer-nos arribar a l'adreça anterior també propostes de persones que cregueu que podrien aportar un valor afegit a tot aquest procés.

Comptem amb la vostra participació i comentaris!

• El pla estratègic determina principis, prioritats i objectius que haurien de ser prou amplis per acomodar-se a un interval de temps com el que tractem: 5 anys. D'aquest se'n concreten a continuació plans d'activitats, que són les accions i indicadors concrets que es plantegen a nivell anual.

Hola a tothom,

com vam avançar en un anterior missatge, ja hem entrat en la Fase 1 del nou Pla Estratègic d'Amical Wikimedia per als cinc anys vinents, del 2019 al 2024.

El pla estratègic és un document de gran importància per a l'associació i determina principis, prioritats i objectius, que haurien de ser prou amplis per acomodar-se als pròxims 5 anys. A partir d'aquest se'n concretaran altres fites, com ara els plans d'activitats, que són les accions i indicadors concrets que es plantegen anualment.

Durant aquestes darreres setmanes una desena de persones hem estat elaborant una base inicial a partir de la qual poder ajudar a tothom qui hi vulgui participar fer sentir la seva veu sobre com ha de ser i treballar Amical Wikimedia en els pròxims anys.

Podeu consultar-la a:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/Pla_estrat%C3%A8gic_2019-2024

Als diferents blocs de la proposta de participació, anomenats orientativament: Comunitat, Comunicació, Contingut, Usabilitat i Lectures, hi podeu trobar diferents preguntes per animar al debat i una secció lateral en forma de semàfors on es valora com s'ha desenvolupat la tasca de l'associació respecte al pla estratègic anterior.

Us animem a aportar-hi el vostre parer i expertesa fins al 15 de març, quan a partir de llavors ja començaria a elaborar-se una primera versió del document definitiu. No dubteu a fer-ho arribar a altres persones o entitats, no necessàriament viquimedistes, que creieu que puguin aportar-hi també el seu coneixement o opinió.

Hi esperem la vostra participació!

IMPORTANT: Revisió de l'activitat dels administradors

Hola,

Gràcies a un consens global de la comunitat, el 2013 es va aprovar una política respecte a la retirada dels "permisos avançats" (administrador, buròcrata, etc.). Segons aquesta política, els stewards estan revisant l'activitat dels administradors en tots els projectes de la Fundació Wikimedia sense política d'inactivitat. Fins on podem saber, aquest projecte no té un procés formal per tal de retirar els "permisos avançats" dels comptes inactius. Això vol dir que els stewards se n'encarregaran d'acord amb la política de revisió d'activitat dels administradors.

Hem determinat que els següents usuaris compleixen els criteris d'inactivitat (cap edició ni acció registrada durant més de dos anys):

1. Usuari:Loquetudigas

Aquests usuaris rebran aviat una notificació, on se'ls plantejarà que iniciïn una discussió a la comunitat si volen conservar una part o la totalitat dels seus permisos. Si els usuaris no responen, llavors els seus privilegis avançats els seran retirats per part dels stewards.

Tanmateix, si vosaltres com a comunitat voleu crear el vostre propi procés de revisió d'activitat per sobre del procés global, voleu prendre una altra decisió sobre els usuaris inactius, o bé ja teniu una política que hem passat per alt, si us plau notifiqueu els stewards a Meta-Wiki perquè sapiguem que no hem de procedir amb la revisió dels permisos a la vostra wiki.

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.

Tancada de la Viquipèdia i dels projectes germans; manifest contra l'article 13

Bon dia,

A la taverna de la Viquipèdia estem debatent la possibilitat de fer una tancada de tots els projectes Wikimedia en català durant 3 dies, seguint la línia d'oposició del moviment Wikimedia aquests darrers mesos.

La proposta afectaria la Viquipèdia i tota la resta de projectes germans, també Viquillibres. Participeu-hi aquí. Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 11:45, 21 març 2019 (CET) A favor de tancar els mateixos dies que s'acordi a la discussió general--Paputx (discussió) 14:41, 23 març 2019 (CET)

Read-only mode for up to 30 minutes on 11 April

You will not be able to edit most Wikimedia wikis for up to 30 minutes on 11 April 05:00 UTC. This is because of a hardware problem. You can still read the wikis. You can see which wikis are affected. The time you can not edit might be shorter than 30 minutes. /Johan (WMF)

Wikimedia Foundation Medium-Term Plan feedback request

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

The Wikimedia Foundation has published a Medium-Term Plan proposal covering the next 3–5 years. We want your feedback! Please leave all comments and questions, in any language, on the talk page, by April 20. Gràcies! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:35, 12 abr 2019 (CEST)

Multilingual Shared Templates and Modules

Hello ca-wiki community! (Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma)

I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wiki projects and languages. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot DiBabelYurikBot can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see project page for details and ask questions on talk page.

P.S. I am currently running for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any registered user group can vote). Thank you! --Yurik (🗨️) 06:02, 12 maig 2019 (CEST)

Editing News #1—July 2019

Llegiu aquest missatge en una altra llengua • Llista de subscripció per a aquest butlletí multilingüe

Ho sabíeu?

Sabíeu que és possible fer servir l’editor visual en dispositius mòbils?

Tots els articles mostran una icona de llapis a dalt de tot. Toqueu-la per a començar a editar.

Targetes d’edició

Així llueix la nova prestació «Targetes d’edició per a modificar enllaços» a l’editor visual mòbil. Podeu provar el prototip ací: 📲 Proveu les targetes d’edició.

Benvinguts de nou al butlletí de l’equip d’edició.

Des del darrer butlletí, l’equip ha publicat dues funcions noves per a l’editor visual mòbil i ha començat el desenvolupament de tres més. Tota aquesta feina és part de l’objectiu de l’equip de simplificar l’edició a la web mòbil.

Abans de parlar sobre el treball recent de l’equip, us tenim una pregunta:

Teniu la disposició de provar un procediment nou per a afegir i modificar enllaços?

Si n’esteu interessat, nos agradaria conèixer la vostra opinió! Podeu provar l’eina d’enllaços per a l’editor mòbil en un wiki separat.

Seguiu aquestes instruccions i feu-nos saber la vostra experiència:

📲 Poseu a prova les targetes d’edició.

Versions recents

L’editor visual per a mòbils és una eina més senzilla destinada a telèfons intel·ligents i tabletes que fan servir el lloc mòbil. L’equip d’edició ha publicat recentment dues prestacions noves per a millorar l’editor visual:

1. Edició de secció
   • L'objectiu és ajudar els col·laboradors a centrar-se en les seves edicions.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Càrrega de superposició
   • L’objectiu és suavitzar la transició entre els modes de lectura i d’edició.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

Projectes nous i actius

Aquesta és una llista dels nostres projectes més actius. Vigileu aquestes pàgines per a assebentar-vos de les novetats i compartir la vostra opinió quant als nous dissenys, prototips i troballes.

• Targetes d’edició: Aquesta és una manera més clara d’afegir enllaços, citacions, imatges, plantilles i més als articles. Podeu provar aquesta funció ara. Aneu aquí per veure com: 📲 Poseu a prova les targetes d’edició.
• Actualització de la barra d'eines per a mòbils: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Disponibilitat d'editor visual mòbil: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? Estem col·laborant amb 20 edicions de la Viquipèdia per a respondre aquesta pregunta.
• Millores en la usabilitat: Aquest projecte facilitarà l’ús del l’editor visual per a mòbils. L’objectiu és permetre que els col·laboradors es concentrin en l’edició i que se sentin més còmodes amb les eines.

Mirant endavant

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

Per a saber-ne més

La pàgina Editor visual als mòbils és un bon lloc per a aprofundir sobre els projectes en què treballem. L’equip vol parlar amb vós sobre qualsevol cosa relacionada amb l’edició. Si hi ha alguna cosa que voleu dir-nos o preguntar-nos, deixeu el vostre missatge a aquesta pàgina de discussió.

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 10:02, 16 ago 2019 (CEST)

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.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

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!

Anunci tramitació centralnotice

Benvolguts, seguint el protocol d'activació de centralnotice us faig saber que hem iniciat la tramitació per a que es publiquin dos anuncis sobre la Viquitrobada que afectarien aquest projecte entre el 26 d'octubre i l'1 de desembre. Tota la informació al respecte la teniu aquí i aquí. Si sou actius en projectes germans veureu que a les tavernes respectives hi ha el mateix missatge: ho he d'anunciar a tots els projectes on es voldria incidir.

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Gràcies! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

"Wishlist Survey" 2020: projectes germans

Bona nit,

Avui s'ha obert el període de sol·licituds per la Wishlist Survey, l'enquesta anual que la Fundació duu a terme per saber quins aspectes tècnics vol millorar la comunitat. A diferència d'edicions anteriors, aquest any se centra només en projectes germans. Això vol dir que és una excel·lent oportunitat per millorar (o almenys expressar que es volen millores) en els aspectes tècnics d'aquest projectes, que sovint queden en segon terme.

Com que la Fundació tria les propostes basant-se en els vots que tenen, estaria bé acordar quines millores voldríeu veure als projectes germans. El termini és l'11 de novembre, però si ja teniu alguna idea no espereu a expressar-la aquí! :)

Podeu veure les sol·licituds que ja s'han presentat a Meta.--Unapersona (discussió) 20:38, 23 oct 2019 (CEST)

IMPORTANT: Presa de decisions sobre el canvi de nom de la Fundació Wikimedia

Bona vesprada,

Els viquipedistes membres d'Amical Wikimedia, i amb motiu de la preocupació creixent sobre el futur canvi de marca de la Fundació Wikimedia(WMF) a Fundació Wikipediaque afecta explícitament els projectes germans en català, hem decidit obrir la següent presa de decisions per posicionar-nos col·lectivament en l'assumpte: Viquipèdia:Presa de decisions/2019/Marca de la WMF

S'hi tracta el procés poc democràtic, greuges a la representació oficial en català, i aspectes econòmics i de transparència que s'han considerat molt greus. Us animem a participar-hi activament i posicionar-vos per demostrar que som una comunitat activa també pel que fa als afers internacionals.

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

Vegeu-lo en una altra llengua • Llista de subscripció per a aquest butlletí multilingüe

En aquest butlletí l'equip d'edició explica la seva feina sobre l'editor visual per a mòbils, sobre el nou projecte de pàgines de discussió i la Wikimania 2019.

Ajuda

Quines interaccions en pàgines de discussió recordeu? És una història sobre com algú us va ajudar a aprendre una cosa nova? És una història sobre com algú us va ajudar a implicar-vos en un grup? Alguna altra cosa? Sigui quina sigui la vostra història volem sentir-la!

Expliqueu-nos una història sobre com heu usat una pàgina de discussió. Compartiu un enllaç a una discussió memorable o descriviu-la en la pàgina de discussió d'aquest projecte. L'equip espera els vostres exemples. Aquests exemples ajudaran a desenvolupar una comprensió comuna d'allò que aquest projecte hauria de facilitar i encoratjar.

Projecte de pàgines de discussió

La Consulta de Pàgines de Discussió va ser una consulta general per a definir millors eines de comunicació wiki. De febrer a juny 2019, més de 500 voluntaris de 20 wikis, abastant 15 llengües i diversos projectes, es van posar en contacte amb membres de la Fundació per crear una línia de producte per un conjunt d'eines de discussió. L'agost es va publicar l'Informe de la Fase 2 de la Consulta de Pàgines de Discussió. Resumeix la direcció en la que l'equip ha començat a treballar. Podeu veure més informació en la pàgina del Projecte de Pàgines de Discussió.

L'equip necessita i desitja la vostra ajuda en aquesta etapa inicial. Estan començant per desenvolupar la primera idea. Si voleu estar informats sobre les oportunitats de participar-hi, us demanem que afegiu el vostre nom a la secció "Getting involved" de la pàgina del projecte.

Editor visual per a mòbils

L'equip d'Edició està intentant que l'edició en dispositius mòbils sigui més senzilla. L'equip està canviant l'editor visual en els mòbils. Si teniu alguna cosa a dir sobre l'edició des d'un dispositiu mòbil, podeu deixar un missatge a Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Targetes d'edició

Què passa quan es clica un enllaç. La nova targeta d'edició és més gran i té més opcions per editar enllaços.

• El 3 de setembre, l'equip d'Edició va llançar la versió 3 de Targetes d'Edició. Tothom pot utilitzar la nova versió en l'editor visual per a mòbils.
• Hi ha un disseny actualitzat en la Targeta d'Edició per afegir i modificar enllaços. Hi ha també un nou procediment per editar el text de l'enllaç i l'enllaç conduït.
• Proveu-lo: obriu l'editor visual per a mòbils en un dispositiu intel·ligent per provar les noves Targetes d'Edició. Publiqueu els vostres comentaris en la pàgina de discussió Edit cards.

Barra d'eines

La barra d'eines d'edició està canviant per a mòbils. El sistema anterior tenia dues barres d'eines diferents. Ara, tots els botons estan junts. Expliqueu a l'equip què penseu sobre la nova barra d'eines.

• Al setembre, l'equip d'Edició va actualitzar la barra d'eines de l'editor visual per a mòbils. Tothom pot veure aquests canvis en l'editor visual per a mòbils.
  • Barra d'eines única: Totes les eines d'edició són en una sola barra. Abans la barra d'eines canviava segons la zona seleccionada.
  • Navegació nova: Han canviat els botons de navegació per anar endavant i endarrere en l'edició.
  • Commutació sense salts: un flux de treball millorat per commutar entre els modes visual i text wiki.
• Proveu-lo: obriu l'editor visual per a mòbils en un dispositiu intel·ligent per provar la barra d'eines millorada. Publiqueu els vostres comentaris en la pàgina de discussió Toolbar refresh

Wikimania

L'Equip d'Edició va assistir a la Wikimania 2019 a Suècia. Van presentar una sessió sobre l'editor visual per a mòbils i una sessió sobre el nou projecte de pàgines de discussió. Van provar amb els col·laboradors dues noves funcionalitats en l'editor visual per a mòbils. Podeu veure més informació sobre el que l'equip va fer i va aprendre en l'informe de Wikimania 2019 de l'equip.

Següents passos

• Projecte de pàgines de discussió: L'equip està pensant el primer conjunt de canvis proposats. Treballarà amb algunes comunitats per comprovar aquests canvis. Si voleu estar informats recomanem que us afegiu a la llista de la pàgina del projecte: Getting involved.
• Test de l'editor visual per defecte en mòbils: L'equip d'Edició té previst publicar els resultats abans d'acabar l'any. Per estar informats recomanem que afegiu la pàgina del projecte en la llista de seguiment: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Mesura de l'impacte de les Targetes d'Edició: Aquest estudi vol determinar si el projecte ajuda els editors a afegir enllaços i referències. L'equip d'Edició espera compartir els resultats al novembre. Per estar informats recomanem que afegiu la pàgina del projecte en la llista de seguiment: Edit Cards project page.

Administració Viquillibres

Bon dia,

Vaig entrar amb molta il·lusió a Viquillibres però ara i en el futur proper m'és impossible trobar el temps per contribuir-hi de forma activa (aquí o a qualsevol dels altres projectes germans). És per això, que si a la comunitat li sembla bé, m'agradaria que se'm retiressin les eines d'administrador. Sobretot vull deixar de ser administrador per un tema de seguretat en cas que el meu compte fos hackejat (ja que molt probablement no me n'adonaria fins que fos massa tard) i també perquè el fet que hi hagi molts administradors en un projecte de vegades crea reticències a donar les eines a més usuaris del projecte amb més motivació que els administradors actuals. @Vriullop, Paucabot:

Ha estat un plaer,

Gerardduenas (discussió) 09:10, 31 des 2019 (CET)

IMPORTANT: Revisió de l'activitat dels administradors

Hola. Gràcies a un consens global de la comunitat, el 2013 es va aprovar una política respecte a la retirada dels "permisos avançats" (administrador, buròcrata, etc.). Segons aquesta política, els stewards estan revisant l'activitat dels administradors en tots els projectes de la Fundació Wikimedia sense política d'inactivitat. Fins on podem saber, aquest projecte no té un procés formal per tal de retirar els "permisos avançats" dels comptes inactius. Això vol dir que els stewards se n'encarregaran d'acord amb la política de revisió d'activitat dels administradors.

Hem determinat que els següents usuaris compleixen els criteris d'inactivitat (cap edició ni acció registrada durant més de dos anys):

1. Gerardduenas (administrador)

Aquests usuaris rebran aviat una notificació, on se'ls plantejarà que iniciïn una discussió a la comunitat si volen conservar una part o la totalitat dels seus permisos. Si els usuaris no responen, llavors els seus privilegis avançats els seran retirats per part dels stewards.

Tanmateix, si vosaltres com a comunitat voleu crear el vostre propi procés de revisió d'activitat per sobre del procés global, voleu prendre una altra decisió sobre els usuaris inactius, o bé ja teniu una política que hem passat per alt, si us plau notifiqueu els stewards a Meta-Wiki perquè sapiguem que no hem de procedir amb la revisió dels permisos a la vostra wiki.

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) 15:14, 26 feb 2020 (CET)

This early version of the Reply tool automatically signs and indents comments.

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.

In a future update, the team plans to test a tool for easily linking to another user's name, a rich-text editing option, and other tools.

The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.

• On 31 March 2020, the new respon tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
• The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
  • an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
  • a rich-text visual editing option, and
  • other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.

To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved" section of the project page. You can also watch these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

Bon dia, us recordo que hi ha oberta una presa de decisió sobre els bànners que es pengen als proectes Wikimedia en català (també Viquillibres) i que és important d'obtenir-hi un consens prou ampli. Penseu que d'aquest debat se'n derivaran els propers avisos que vegi tothom a primera plana del projecte, tant editors com lectors.

The new features include a toolbar. What do you think should be in the toolbar?

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Eines de Discussió". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Feedback on movement names

Hola. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma if necessary. Gràcies!

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, 21:52, 2 jul 2020 (CEST)

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.

More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.

Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:

• More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
• More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
• The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
• In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
• Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
• On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩‍🚀
• Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

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.

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Gràcies! --Quiddity (WMF)

La Fundació Wikimedia posarà a prova entre els seus centres de dades primer i secundari. Això garantirà que la Viquipèdia i els altres wikis de Wikimedia romanguin disponibles fins i tot si es produeix un desastre. Per a assegurar que tot funcioni, el departament de tecnologia de Wikimedia necessita realitzar una prova planificada. Aquesta prova demostrarà si és possible canviar d’un centre de dades a l’altre amb fiabilitat. Calen molts equips per a preparar la prova i estar al tant per a reparar qualssevol problemes que puguin produïr-s’hi.

Canviaran tot el trànsit al centre de dades secundari el dimarts, 27 d'octubre de 2020.

Malauradament, a causa de limitacions de MediaWiki cal limitar la possibilitat d’editar durant el canvi. Ens disculpem per aquesta disrupció, i estem treballant per minimitzar-lo en el futur.

Durant una estona, podreu llegir, però no editar, els wikis.

• No podreu editar durant l'espai d'una hora el dimarts 27 d'octubre. La prova començarà a [$temps 14:00 UTC] (15:00 CEST).
• Si intenteu editar o desar canvis durant aquestes interrupcions, veureu un missatge d’error. Esperem que no es perdi cap edició durant aquests període de temps, però no ho podem garantir. Si veieu el missatge d’error, espereu fins que tot torni a funcionar. Llavors hauríeu de poder desar la vostra edició. Tot i així, us recomanem que primer feu una còpia dels vostres canvis, per si un cas.

Altres efectes:

• Els treballs automàtics de rerefons aniran més lents, i alguns es podrien aturar. Potser els enllaços vermells no s’actualitzin tan ràpidament com és habitual. Si creeu un article que ja ha estat enllaçat en algun altre lloc, l’enllaç pot mantenir-se en vermell més estona de l'habitual. Alguns scripts de llarga durada s'hauran d'aturar.
• Durant la setmana del 26 d'octubre no s'admetrà codi nou als servidors. No es faran desplegaments de codi que no siguin essencials.

Aquest projecte es podria ajornar si fos necessari. Podeu llegir la planificació a wikitech.wikimedia.org. Es comunicarà qualsevol canvi a la planificació. Hi haurà més notificacions sobre aquest tema. Es mostrarà un banner a totes les wikis 30 minuts abans que passi aquesta operació. Si us plau, compartiu aquesta informació a la vostra comunitat.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Hola!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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,

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

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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, Viquillibres 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.

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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. Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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.

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.

Editing news 2021 #2

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 "Eines de Discussió" 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.

Llegiu aquest missatge en una altra llengua • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

La Fundació Wikimedia posarà a prova entre els seus centres de dades primer i secundari. Això garantirà que la Viquipèdia i els altres wikis de Wikimedia romanguin disponibles fins i tot si es produeix un desastre. Per a assegurar que tot funcioni, el departament de tecnologia de Wikimedia necessita realitzar una prova planificada. Aquesta prova demostrarà si és possible canviar d’un centre de dades a l’altre amb fiabilitat. Calen molts equips per a preparar la prova i estar al tant per a reparar qualssevol problemes que puguin produïr-s’hi.

Malauradament, a causa de limitacions de MediaWiki cal limitar la possibilitat d’editar durant el canvi. Ens disculpem per aquesta disrupció, i estem treballant per minimitzar-lo en el futur.

Durant una estona, podreu llegir, però no pas editar els wikis hostatjats a la Fundació Wikimedia.

• No podreu editar durant el període d'una hora el dimarts 2021-06-29. La prova començarà a les [$temps 14:00 UTC] (16:00 CEST).
• Si proveu d’editar o desar canvis durant aquestes interrupcions, veureu un missatge d’error. Esperem que no es perdi cap edició durant aquest període de temps, però no us ho podem garantir. Si veieu el missatge d’error, espereu fins que tot torni a funcionar. Llavors hauríeu de poder desar la vostra edició amb normalitat. Tot i així, us recomanem que en qualsevol cas primer deseu una còpia dels vostres canvis.

Altres efectes:

• Els treballs automàtics de rerefons aniran més lents, i alguns es podrien aturar. Potser els enllaços vermells no s’actualitzaran tan ràpidament com és habitual. Si creeu un article que ja ha estat enllaçat en algun altre lloc, l’enllaç pot mantenir-se en vermell més estona de l'habitual. Alguns scripts de llarga durada s'hauran d'aturar.
• Durant la setmana del 2021-06-28 no s'admetrà codi nou als servidors. No es faran desplegaments de codi que no siguin essencials.

Aquest projecte es podria ajornar si fos necessari. Podeu llegir la planificació a wikitech.wikimedia.org. Es comunicarà qualsevol canvi a la planificació. Hi haurà més notificacions sobre aquest tema. Es mostrarà un avís a tots els wikis de la Fundació Wikimedia 30 minuts abans que tingui lloc aquesta operació. Si us plau, compartiu aquesta informació amb la vostra comunitat viquimedista.

• Sàpiguen escriure en col·laboració (l'experiència demostrada és un avantatge)
• Estiguin preparades per trobar compromisos.
• Se centrin en la inclusió i la diversitat.
• Tinguin coneixement de les consultes comunitàries.
• Tinguin experiència de comunicació intercultural.
• Tinguin experiència en governança o organització en associacions sense ànim de lucre o en comunitats.
• Tinguin experiència negociant amb diferents parts.

Es preveu que el Comitè comenci amb 15 persones. Si hi ha vint o més candidats, es produirà un procés mixt d'eleccions i selecció. Si hi ha 19 candidats o menys, es fa el procés de selecció sense eleccions.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hola a tothom,

Esperem que tots estigueu el millor i el més segur possibles en aquests moments difícils! Volíem compartir algunes novetats sobre un canvi en l'Enquesta de Desitjos de la Comunitat de 2022. Ens agradaria conèixer també les vostres opinions.

Resum:

Publicarem l'Enquesta de Desitjos de la Comunitat de 2022 el gener de 2022. Necessitem més temps per treballar els desitjos de 2021. També necessitem temps per preparar alguns canvis en la llista de desitjos de 2022. Mentrestant, podeu utilitzar un espai habilitat per deixar les primeres idees per als desitjos de 2022.

La proposta i la realització dels desitjos es produiran durant el mateix any

En el passat, l'equip de Tecnologia Comunitària habilitava l'Enquesta de Desitjos de la Comunitat per a l'any següent al novembre de l'any anterior. Per exemple, vam publicar la llista de desitjos per al 2021 el novembre del 2020. Això funcionava bé fa uns anys. En aquell moment, començàvem a treballar en la llista de desitjos poc després de publicar els resultats de les votacions.

Tanmateix, el 2021 es va produir un retard entre la votació i el moment en què vam poder començar a treballar en els nous desitjos. Fins al juliol de 2021, vam treballar en els desitjos de la llista per al 2020.

Esperem que la llista de desitjos de 2022 al gener de 2022 sigui més intuïtiva. Això també ens donarà temps per complir més desitjos de la llista del 2021.

Fomentar una participació més àmplia de comunitats històricament excloses

Estem pensant com facilitar la participació en l'Enquesta. Volem donar suport a més traduccions i animar les comunitats amb menys recursos a ser més actives. Ens agradaria tenir una mica de temps per fer aquests canvis.

Un nou espai per parlar-nos de prioritats i desitjos encara no concedits

Haurem passat 365 dies sense llista de desitjos. Us animem a donar-hi un cop d'ull. Esperem tenir notícies vostres a la pàgina de discussió, però també esperem veure-us a les nostres reunions bimensuals de Talk to Us. S'organitzaran en dos moments diferents, respectuosos amb els fusos horaris de tot el món.

Començarem la nostra primera reunió el 15 de setembre a les 23:00h UTC. Aviat tindreu més detalls sobre l'ordre del dia i el format.

Pluja d'idees i esborrany de propostes abans de la fase de propostes

Si teniu alguna primera idea, podeu utilitzar la nova caixa de l'Enquesta de Desitjos de la Comunitat. D'aquesta manera, no se us oblidaran abans del gener del 2022. Podreu tornar-hi i afinar les vostres idees. Recordeu que les modificacions en aquest espai no compten com a desitjos!

Comentaris

• Què hem de fer per millorar les pàgines de la llista de desitjos?
• Com voleu utilitzar la nova caixa d'idees?
• Quins riscos preveieu, si n'hi ha, en la nostra decisió de canviar la data de la llista de desitjos per al 2022?
• Què ajudarà a més persones a participar a la llista de desitjos de 2022?

Responeu a la pàgina de discussió (en qualsevol idioma) o a les trobades de Talk to Us.

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.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.

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, 14 September 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, 15 September).
• 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.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

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.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

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

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

• What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

• What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msgwikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Hello everyone,

A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

• A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
• The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

Hello all,

We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.

Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.

Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.

Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

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

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass

• July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
• July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
• July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
• August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
• August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
• August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation.

Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.

Thank you to those who followed the Affiliate process for this Board election. You may review the results of the Affiliate selection process.

The next part of the Board election process is the community voting period. You may view the Board election timeline here. To prepare for the community voting period, there are several things community members can engage with in the following ways:

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) 06:14, 22 set 2022 (CEST)

Hello all,

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

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

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

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

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

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

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

We thank you for your time and participation.

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community

Plantilla:More languages

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

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

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

Best regards,
Movement Strategy and Governance Team

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee

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

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

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

About the Ombuds commission

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

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

About the Case Review Committee

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

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

Applying to join either of these groups

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

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

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

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

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

On behalf of the Committee Support team,

La Fundació Wikimedia posarà a prova el canvi entre els seus centres de dades primari i secundari. Això garantirà que la Viquipèdia i les altres wikis de Wikimedia romanguin disponibles fins i tot si es produeix un desastre. Per a assegurar que tot funcioni, el Departament de Tecnologia de Wikimedia necessita realitzar una prova planificada. Aquesta prova demostrarà si és possible canviar d'un centre de dades a l'altre amb fiabilitat.

Petició de nou canvi de logo escrit a Phabricator

Bon dia, he sol·licitat amb aquest tiquet a Phabricator que s'incorpori el nou logo vectorial en la nova interfície del projecte, atès que ara hi apareix escrit "Wikibooks" i no pas "Viquillibres" com correspondria en català.

Si no hi ha cap oposició o obertura de debat, es procedirà al canvi transcorreguda com a mínim una setmana. He anunciat el mateix a la resta de tavernes dels projectes germans en català. Salut! Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 11:56, 17 abr 2023 (CEST)

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

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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,

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

Hello all,

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

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

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

Best,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

Read this in your language • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre 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.

Preferències globals

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 31 October. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (discussió) 01:51, 19 oct 2023 (CEST)

(New) Feature on Kartographer: Adding geopoints via QID

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

Més llengües • Si us plau, ajudeu a traduir-ho al vostre idioma

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

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

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

Election Volunteers

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

Best regards,

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

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

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

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.

Cleaning up files

Hello, greetings from Denmark!

I just took a look at Especial:Imatges and there are 13 files. Some of them were also on Commons and I copied a few more to Commons. So the local version of those files can be deleted.

There are also a few non-free files and a file without a license.

All wikis must follow the wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy so all files need a license. To allow non-free files a wiki must have an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP). As far as I can tell there is no EDP here. There is a link to w:Viquipèdia:Requisits de les imatges no lliures so if we accept that as valid then the files have to follow the criterias written on that page.

I think most of the files has problems with "2. No existeix cap material lliure equivalent, disponible o amb possibilitat de crear-lo.".

Unless there are plenty of users and admins willing to make sure an EDP is followed then perhaps it is better not to allow non-free files. --MGA73 (discussió) 22:56, 31 jul 2024 (CEST)

Hola. Durant molts anys, els membres de la comunitat han demanat una manera senzilla de reutilitzar referències amb diferents detalls. Ara arriba una solució MediaWiki: la nova funció de subreferència funcionarà per a wikitext i Editor Visual, i millorarà el sistema de referència existent. Pots seguir utilitzant diferents maneres de referenciar, però probablement trobaràs subreferències en articles escrits per altres usuaris. Més informació a la pàgina del projecte.

Volem els teus comentaris per assegurar-nos que aquesta funció funcioni bé per a tu:

• Proveu l'estat actual del desenvolupament a la wiki beta i deixeu-nos saber el que pensa.
• Registreu-vos aquí per rebre actualitzacions i/o invitacions per participar en activitats de recerca per usuaris.

L'equip de Technical Wishes de Wikimedia Deutschland té previst incorporar aquesta funció als wikis de Wikimedia a finals d'aquest any. Ens posarem en contacte amb els creadors i els mantenidors d'eines i plantilles relacionades amb les referències amb antelació.

Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

1. Christel Steigenberger
2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
3. Victoria Doronina
4. Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

'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) 13:30, 22 oct 2024 (CEST)
