Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

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

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

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 rispondi 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.

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 "Strumenti di discussione". 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.

Annual contest Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP)

This is to invite you to join the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign starts today 1st July 2020 and closes 31st August 2020.

The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.

With kind regards,

Thank you,

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)

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): we want to hear from you.

Ciao. Apologies that you may not be reading this message in your native language: translations of the following message may be available on Meta. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua. Grazie!

At times, our contributor communities and projects have suffered from a lack of guidelines that can help us create an environment where free knowledge can be shared safely without fear. There has been talk about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time.

Recently, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced a Community Culture Statement, asking for new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.

The universal code of conduct will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, and will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe. It is of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC and its values. We should think about what we want it to cover or include and what it shouldn’t include, and how it may create difficulties or help our groups.

This is the time to talk about it. Before starting drafting the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you and to solicit the opinions and feedback of your colleagues. In order for your voice to be heard, we encourage and invite you to read more about the universal code of conduct (UCoC) and then write down your opinions or feedback on the discussion page.

To reduce language barriers during the process, you are welcome to translate the universal code of conduct main page from English into your respective local language. You and your community may choose to provide your opinions/feedback using your local languages.

Thanks in advance for your attention and contributions, The Trust and Safety team at Wikimedia Foundation 16:42, 22 lug 2020 (UTC)

Cambiare l'orario del server di questa Wiki

Ciao a tutti, scusatemi per l'italiano. Ho notato che su questa Wiki viene utilizzato quello di Londra (UTC), vorrei proporre di cambiare l'orario da quello di Londra a quello di Roma (CET/CEST).

Ho pensato che si può tenere una votazione su questa pagina (mi è venuta in mente solo quella) perché si potrebbe includere alcune Wiki regionali che hanno ancora l'orario di Londra, anche per lasciare un evidenza quando andrò a fare una richiesta su Phabricator. Che ne pensate? --S4b1nuz ᴇ.656^(SMS) 16:24, 29 lug 2020 (UTC)

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.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Ciao!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua. 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!

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

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

1. Az1568 (administrator)

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

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

My only role since 2007 has been for the removal of pages that require deletion and dealing with spambots. I will leave it to any members of the local community who check this page to decide if they'd like me to retain my rights here. --Az1568 (discussioni) 06:56, 18 ghje 2021 (UTC)

Hello @Az1568, I'm pleased to meet you. As you can see in our stats [1], this project has not exactly been inactive :)
However, I think that a permanent rights sysop may be needed here. Best regards, --Jumpy01 (discussioni) 22:44, 20 ghje 2021 (UTC)

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

Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

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, Wikipedia currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

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

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

Best regards,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:12, 18 fer 2021 (UTC)

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

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

Ciao!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua. 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,

Improving the translation support for Corsican Wikipedia

Ciao!

Apologies as this message is not in your native language, Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua.

Content translation has been successful in supporting the translation process on many Wikipedia communities, and we want to help additional wikis with the potential to grow using translation as part of a new initiative.

Content translation facilitates the creation of Wikipedia articles by translating content from other languages. It has been used already to create more than half a million articles. In addition, the tool provides mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content, preventing the publication of lightly edited machine translations. In general, our analysis shows that the translations produced are less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch.

Corsican Wikipedia editors have used Content translation to create more than eighty articles. We think that there is potential to use translation to create more articles, expand existing ones, and attract new editors that learn how to make productive edits. Translation can help the community to reduce the language gap with other languages and grow the number of editors in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with you to make Content translation more visible in the Corsican Wikipedia and support new ways to translate.

As a first step, during the next weeks, we plan to enable Content translation by default on Corsican Wikipedia. That will make it easy for users to discover the tool through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation will still be able to disable it from their preferences.

Please feel free to share any comment in this conversation thread.

Thanks!

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Example

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

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

-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 15:07, 12 apr 2021 (UTC)

Suggested Values

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

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

Editing news 2021 #2

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

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

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

The key results were:

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

You can turn on "Strumenti di discussione" 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

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

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

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

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hello everyone,

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

Summary:

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

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

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

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

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

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

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

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

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

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

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

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

Feedback

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

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

• 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.

Sassaresu (prugettu di prova)

Il progetto Wichipedia in lingua sassarese ha superato le 1.000 voci di contenuto, richieste per uscire dal "recinto" dell'Incubator Wikipediano - una speciale sezione, dove sono centinaia di progetti Wikipediani che hanno meno di 1.000 voci e che non hanno visibilità sui motori di ricerca, né propri amministratori. Vedi: [2]. Dopo una verifica di testi e immagini - per cui si chiede il sostegno di esperti wikipediani - sarà presentata al Comitato Wikipediano di Controllo la richiesta ufficiale per uscire dall'Incubator e diventare Wikipedia, a tutti gli effetti.

Il progetto Wikipedia in lingua sassarese ha un notiziario - lu "Vichipedìanu": [3], ha proprie statistiche mensili: [4] e ha un vocabolario interno Sassarese-Italiano, diviso in tre voci e in continuo aggiornamento: [5].

Il numeratore automatico sulla home, che in questo momento segna 1.108, è tarato su Incubator in modo da comprendere le voci (1.022) + le categorie (75) + le sandbox (11). Il numero 1.000, che appare più in basso, deve essere al contrario aggiornato manualmente e contiamo di aggiornarlo ogni 100 nuove voci.

Per una visione globale delle statistiche del progetto in sassarese, in automatico, [6]. Il progetto in lingua sassarese, salvo errori da parte mia, non ha voci orfane, né voci prive di categoria. Grazie.--Fausta Samaritani (discussioni) 08:38, 7 dic 2021 (UTC)

Prossima richiesta di feedback sulle elezioni del Board of Trustees

Puoi trovare questo messaggio tradotto in altre lingue su Meta-wiki.

Altre lingue • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

Il Board of Trustees sta preparando una richiesta di feedback sulle prossime elezioni del Board, la richiesta avrà luogo dal 7 gennaio al 10 febbraio 2022.

I dettagli saranno completati durante la settimana prima della richiesta, due però sono le domande già confermate e che saranno poste durante questa richiesta di feedback:

• Qual è il modo migliore per assicurare, all'interno del Board of Trustees, un'equa rappresentanza delle comunità emergenti?

• Quale tipo di coinvolgimento dovrebbero avere i candidati durante le elezioni?

Altre domande potrebbero essere aggiunte, il team Movement Strategy and Governance vuole nel frattempo dare tempo ai membri della comunità e agli affiliati per riflettere e raccogliere idee su queste due domande già confermate. Ci scusiamo per il fatto di non avere già una lista completa di domande. La lista delle domande dovrebbe aumentare di poco, dovrebbero aggiungersene solo una o due. L'intenzione è quella di non sommergere la comunità di richieste, ma di fornire un congruo preavviso e iniziare a raccogliere feedback su queste questioni.

Vuoi contribuire ad organizzare una discussione locale durante questa richiesta di feedback?

Contatta il Movement Strategy and Governance team su Meta, su Telegram, o via email a msgwikimedia.org.

Contattateci se avete domande o perplessità. Il team Movement Strategy and Governance sarà a corto di personale fino al 3 gennaio. Vi preghiamo di scusare eventuali ritardi nelle risposte durante questo periodo. Siamo a conoscenza che anche alcuni membri della comunità e affiliati sono offline durante le vacanze di dicembre. Ci scusiamo se il nostro messaggio vi ha raggiunto mentre siete in vacanza.

Cordiali saluti,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

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

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

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

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

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

About the skin

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

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

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

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

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

How can editors change and customize this skin?

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

Our plan

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

Request for more time to discuss the change

If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 04:14, 22 sit 2022 (UTC)

Ciao, scrivo a nome del Web Team della Wikimedia Foundation. Tra due settimane, ci piacerebbe rendere Vector 2022 il tema di default di questo wiki.

Ci lavoriamo da tre anni. Finora è stato adottato da oltre 30 wiki, tra cui alcuni progetti fratelli Wikimedia, che nell'insieme rappresentano oltre un miliardo di accessi alle pagine al mese. In media l'87% degli utenti attivi connessi di questi wiki usa Vector 2022.

Diventerebbe di default per gli utenti non loggati e anche per gli utenti loggati che attualmente usano Vector Legacy (Vector 2010). Gli utenti loggati possono passare a qualunque altro tema in ogni momento. Nessun cambiamento è previsto per gli utenti di questi temi.

• In cima alla pagina
• 
  Vector Legacy (l'attuale tema di default)
• 
  Vector 2022

• Una sezione di una pagina
• 
  Vector Legacy (l'attuale tema di default)
• 
  Vector 2022

A proposito del tema

[Perché è un cambiamento necessario] L'attuale tema di default andava incontro ai bisogni dei lettori e dei contributori così com'erano 13 anni fa. Nel frattempo, nuovi utenti hanno iniziato a usare i progetti Wikimedia. Il vecchio Vector non soddisfa le loro aspettative.

[Obiettivo] Lo scopo del nuovo tema è di rendere l'interfaccia più accogliente e confortevole per i lettori e più funzionale per gli utenti esperti. Trae ispirazione sia da richieste precedenti che dal Sondaggio dei desideri della comunità, da gadgets e scripts. Questo lavoro ha permesso al nostro codice di rispettare gli standard ma anche di migliorare tutti gli altri temi. Abbiamo ridotto del 75% il codice PHP dei temi Wikimedia implementati. Il progetto si è impegnato anche nel facilitare il supporto ai gadget e all'uso delle API.

[Modifiche e risultati dei test] Il tema introduce una serie di cambiamenti che migliorano la leggibilità e l'usabilità. Nel nuovo tema non è stata eliminata nessuna funzionalità attualmente disponibile su Vector.

• L'header fisso rende più facile trovare gli strumenti che i contributori usano spesso. Diminuisce del 16% lo scorrimento verso l'alto della pagina.
• Il nuovo indice rende più facile navigare tra le diverse sezioni. I lettori e i contributori saltano da una sezione all'altra il 50% più spesso che con il vecchio indice. Anche le pagine di discussione hanno un aspetto leggermente diverso.
• La nuova barra di ricerca è più facile da individuare e rende più facile trovare il risultato corretto cercato a partire da una lista. Questo ha aumentato del 30% il volume delle ricerche effettuate sui wiki che abbiamo testato.
• Il tema non influenza negativamente il numero di accesso alle pagine, il tasso di modifiche, o la creazione di account. È anzi stato riscontrato un aumento delle pagine visitate e della creazione di account nelle comunità partner.

[Provalo] Prova il nuovo tema andando nella scheda "Aspetto" delle tue Preferenze e seleziona Vector 2022 nella lista dei temi.

Come fanno i contributori a modificare e a personalizzare questo tema?

È possibile configurare e personalizzare le nostre modifiche. Diamo supporto ai volontari che creano gadget e script utente. Consulta il nostro archivio per la lista delle personalizzazioni attualmente disponibli, o aggiungici le tue.

Il nostro piano

Se non vengono sollevate grosse problematiche, prevediamo di distribuire il tema nella settimana del 3 ottobre 2022. Se la vostra comunità desidera più tempo per discutere dei cambiamenti, premete il pulsante e scriveteci. Possiamo adattare il calendario.

Domanda di tempo supplementare
per discutere del cambiamento

Se vuoi chiedere al nostro team qualsiasi cosa, se hai domande, preoccupazioni o idee ulteriori, per favore notificami o scrivi nella pagina di discussione del progetto. Saremo lieti di risponderti! In aggiunta, puoi anche consultare le nostre FAQ. Grazie!

Update on Vector 2022

Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the Web team working on the new skin, Vector 2022.

We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment. We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to reach out to us and we can help make one.

We invite you to get involved in the project. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 23:24, 19 utt 2022 (UTC)

Enabling Section Translation: a new mobile translation experience

Hello Corsican Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section translation tool in Corsican Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:

• Give us your feedback
• Ask us questions
• Tell us how to improve it.

Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February 2021 in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and provide feedback to make it better.

Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

• Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.
• Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.

Corsican Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since it has Content Translation tool enabled by default.

We plan to enable the tool in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:

• As a reply to this message
• On the project talk page.

Try the tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Corsican Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://co.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:

• The tool
• What you think about our plans to enable it
• Your ideas for improving the tool.

Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback.

Section Translation tool enabled in Corsican Wikipedia

Hello Friends!

The Language team is pleased to let you know that the Section Translation tool is now enabled in Corsican Wikipedia. It means you can translate content one section at a time using your mobile devices with ease.

Now you can also start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Corsican. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for corsu. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.

Image of the entry point

Content created with the tool will be marked with the “sectiontranslation” tag for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tool and reviewing the content created with it.

So, enjoy the tool and provide feedback on improving it.

Thank you!

Interfaccia desktop: ultime novità

Ciao, vi segnalo che le ultime novità del progetto delle Migliorie all'interfaccia desktop sono on line. Buona lettura! --Patafisik (WMF) (discussioni) 18:33, 4 ghje 2023 (UTC)

Migliorie all'interfaccia desktop: un nuovo cambiamento in arrivo

Ciao!

La prossima settimana il team Web della Wikimedia Foundation sposterà alcuni link della barra laterale a destra dello schermo.

Così sarà più facile utilizzare in modo intuitivo tutti i collegamenti e gli strumenti della nostra interfaccia. Con la barra laterale più corta, l'indice apparirà a sua volta più in alto sullo schermo. Quest'ultimo cambiamento sarà sigificativo soprattutto per i contributori, poiché i lettori usano il menu di sinistra molto più raramente.

Perché apportiamo questo cambiamento

Attualmente, la nostra interfaccia non fa distinzione tra collegamenti e strumenti che riguardano il wiki e collegamenti e strumenti che riguardano la pagina in sè. "Pagina principale", "Una voce a caso", "Ultime modifiche" fanno parte del primo gruppo. "Puntano qui", "Modifiche correlate", "Cita questa voce" appartengono al secondo. Questo mix confonde i nuovi lettori. Anche i nuovi contributori non hanno familiarità con ognuno di questi link e non sanno a cosa servono. Mescolando questi gruppi si rischia di demotivare le persone che sarebbero propense a scoprire spontaneamente questi strumenti.

Questa modifica risolve anche la questione della posizione del sommario. In precedenza alcuni contributori ci avevano fatto notare che il sommario sotto alla barra laterale lo faceva apparire troppo in basso nella pagina. Con questo cambiamento, il menu di sinistra (la barra laterale) diventa più corto e di conseguenza il sommario è visibile più in alto sulla pagina. Inoltre, questo cambiamento riduce lo spazio bianco sulla pagina, usandone di più per mostrare gli strumenti a destra.

Puoi saperne di più sulla funzionalità degli strumenti della pagina e il progetto delle Migliorie all'IU desktop su MediaWiki.org.

Compatibilità degli accessori

Alcuni accessori e script utente potrebbero aver bisogno di essere aggiornati o diventare obsoleti e ridondanti. Forniamo assistenza agli utenti che desiderano mantenere la compatibilità. Puoi visitare questa sezione della nostra documentazione per maggiori informazioni sulla compatibilità dei gadget.

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.

The Terms of Use (ToU) are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.

This update comes in response to several things:

• Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct
• Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license
• Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing
• Bringing our terms in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act

As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held, the first on March 2, the second on April 4.

For further information, please consult:

• The proposed update of the ToU by comparison
• The page for your feedback
• Information about the office hours

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team,

Come far apparire i link delle lingue in cima alla Home page

Ciao a tutti,

con la nuova interfaccia di default, Vector 2022, il pulsante delle lingue è finito in fondo alla home page, mentre nelle altre pagine si trova correttamente in alto, vedi perché. Questa eccezione della home page non piace a tutte le comunità Wikimedia. Si può risolvere aggiungendo "un titolo" ma solo con il consenso della vostra comunità.

Vi invito quindi a discutere se vi interessa avere i link delle lingue nello stesso posto delle altre pagine. Se la risposta è sì, dovreste decidere quale tra le due opzioni preferite: mostrare un messaggio di benvenuto (o un altro testo a votra scelta) come "titolo", sulla stessa linea del pulsante delle lingue, oppure non mettere nessun testo.

Copio-incollo un passaggio delle FAQ che potrebbe esservi utile per discutere, con qualche aggiunta:

• Il "titolo della pagina" sarà mostrato su Vector 2010, Minerva, Timeless e Vector 2022. Non sarà visibile su Monobook.
• Il "titolo" puo' essere modificato configurando MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin per gli utenti loggati e MediaWiki:Mainpage-title per per gli utenti non loggati. Per gli utenti loggati su mobile invece bisognerà modificare MediaWiki:wikimedia-mobile-mainpage-title-loggedin.
• Date un'occhiata a come appare la home page con i pulsante delle lingue in alto aggiungendo ?vectorlanguageinmainpageheader=1 alla fine dell'URL. La home page della Wikipedia basca mostra una frase di benvenuto nel titolo. E' la stessa scelta fatta anche dalla Wikipedia in francese, che sta aspettando il cambiamento. Potete anche guardare l'esempio della Wikipedia in islandese che non ha configurato nessun titolo, quindi si vedono solo le lingue.
• Se c'è consenso, pingatemi (o contattate il Web Team) per chiedere lo spostamento del pulsante delle lingue in alto, il team chiederà la modifica dei parametri del vostro wiki. Se preferite potete aprire direttamente un nuovo task su Phabricator, ma se volete un messaggio di benevuto basterà segnalare la vostra discussione in fondo al ticket T325362, aggiungendovi alla lista dei wiki che già richiedono il cambiamento. Una volta il cambiamento portato a termine, il pulsante delle lingue sarà visibile in alto alla home page del tema Vector 2022. Negli altri temi, la lista dei link delle lingue si troverà al suo posto di default, che è diverso per ogni tema.

Your wiki will be in read only soon

Leghje stu missaghju in un'altra lingua • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

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.

All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.

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 Wednesday 1 March 2023.
• 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.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

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.

Vector 2022: un cambiamento per gli utenti non connessi

Gli Strumenti della pagina quando il menu è chiuso (vedi cerchio rosso)

Ciao,

la settimana scorsa abbiamo reso disponibile il menu degli Strumenti della pagina per gli utenti non connessi. Per gli utenti loggati, il menu era già disponibile da gennaio 2023.

Il menu permette di distinguere gli strumenti relativi alla navigazione all'interno del wiki in generale dagli strumenti relativi ad una pagina specifica. Nel primo gruppo si trovano, ad esempio, "Pagina principale" e "Una voce a caso". Nel secondo gruppo ci sono, ad esempio, "Puntano qui", "Modifiche correlate" e "Cita questa voce". Inoltre, il nuovo menu riunisce gli strumenti specifici della pagina in un unico elenco. Prima alcuni di questi link si trovavano nel menu principale (barra laterale) o nel More Menu (di fianco alla Cronologia). Il nostro proposito è che i nuovi lettori e i nuovi contributori possano capire più facilmente a cosa servono questi link.

Il menu può essere appuntato (pinned) o meno, a seconda delle necessità dell'utente. Quando è aperto è anche fisso sulla pagina, ossia rimane nella stessa posizione sullo schermo quando si scorre verso il basso. Inoltre, per gli utenti connessi il menu è anche permanente, ossia il menu resta nello stato voluto (aperto, chiuso o appuntato) quando si aggiorna la pagina o se ne apre una nuova. Per gli utenti non connessi invece il menu non è permanente. Speriamo di rendere disponibile questa caratteristica in futuro anche per loro.

Con questo cambiamento si ha anche il vantaggio che l'indice è mostrato più in alto sulla pagina. Solo raramente si deve scorrere la pagina per poter consultare l'indice. Questa è una delle preoccupazioni a cui abbiamo dato ascolto negli ultimi giorni e speriamo che questo risolva la questione.

Separazione delle aree del layout (Zebra #9): presto un nuovo test A/B

Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

Ciao !

Presto il Web Team effettuerà un nuovo test A/B. Questo test inizierà entro due settimane e si svolgerà su alcuni wiki, per due settimane piene. Si svolgerà sulle Wikipedie in inglese, persiano, francese, ebraico, coreano, portoghese, serbo, tailandese, turco e vietnamita.

La metà degli utenti desktop connessi vedranno una versione con le aree del layout separate in maniera più chiara. Questa versione include l'aggiunta dei bordi e dello sfondo grigio. Dopo due settimane, tutti vedranno di nuovo l'interfaccia attuale con lo sfondo bianco. Analizzeremo i dati sull'uso di entrambe le versioni e prenderemo una decisione sul da farsi a luglio.

Per maggiori informazioni clicca qui. Lasciaci i tuoi commenti su questa pagina di discussione del progetto delle Migliorie all'interfaccia desktop.

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

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

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees,

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Ciao!

Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:

<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>

The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.

{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}

Could become:

<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.

Thank you!

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

Altre lingue • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

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,

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 15:35, 28 aos 2023 (UTC)

Your wiki will be in read-only soon

The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its 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.

All traffic will switch on 20 September. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.

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 Wednesday 20 September 2023.
• 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.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

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.

Coming soon: Reference Previews

A new feature is coming to your wiki soon: Reference Previews are popups for references. Such popups have existed on wikis as local gadgets for many years. Now there is a central solution, available on all wikis, and consistent with the PagePreviews feature.

Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them, you can opt out. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.

Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
4. Request local admins for site notice.
5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Selezione del 2024 dei membri del Board di Wikimedia Foundation

Potete trovare questo messaggio tradotto in altre lingue su Meta-wiki.

Altre lingue • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

Buongiorno,

Quest'anno termina il mandato di 4 (quattro) dei membri del Board di Wikimedia Foundation scelti dalla comunità e dagli affiliati [1]. Il Board invita tutto il movimento a partecipare al processo di selezione di quest'anno e a votare per trovare dei membri per questi seggi.

Il comitato elettorale supervisionerà questo processo con il supporto del personale di Wikimedia Foundation [2]. Il Comitato per la governance del Board ha creato un gruppo di lavoro per la selezione del Board, il gruppo è composto da Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins e Shani Evenstein Sigalov, che non possono essere candidati al processo di selezione degli amministratori della comunità e degli affiliati per il 2024 [3]. Il gruppo ha il compito di supervisionare il processo di selezione dei membri del Board per il 2024 e di tenere informato il Board. Maggiori dettagli sui ruoli del Comitato elettorale, del Board e dello staff sono disponibili qui [4].

Di seguito il calendario pianificato:

• Maggio 2024: Invito a presentare candidature e domande
• Giugno 2024: Gli affiliati votano per la pre-selezione di 12 candidati (non vi sarà pre-selezione se si presentano 15 o meno candidati) [5].
• Giugno-agosto 2024: campagna elettorale
• Fine agosto/inizio settembre 2024: due settimane di votazione comunitaria
• Ottobre-novembre 2024: Controllo del background dei candidati selezionati
• Riunione del Board nel dicembre 2024: entrata in carica dei nuovi amministratori

Per saperne di più sul processo di selezione per il 2024 - compresa la tempistica dettagliata, il processo di candidatura, le regole della campagna e i criteri di eleggibilità degli elettori - si può consultare la questa pagina Meta-wiki.

Volontari delle elezioni

Un altro modo per partecipare al processo di selezione del 2024 è quello di essere un volontario elettorale. I volontari elettorali sono un ponte tra il comitato elettorale e la rispettiva comunità. Aiutano a garantire che la loro comunità sia rappresentata e la mobilitano a votare. Per saperne di più sul programma e sulle modalità di adesione, consultare questa pagina su meta-wiki.

Cordiali saluti,

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

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

[5] Anche se il numero ideale è di 12 candidati per 4 seggi aperti, il processo di pre-selezione verrà attivato se ci sono più di 15 candidati, perché gli 1-3 candidati che vengono eliminati potrebbero sentirsi esclusi e sarebbe molto faticoso per gli affiliati portare avanti il processo di pre-selezione per eliminare solo 1-3 candidati dalla lista dei candidati.

U4C Special Election - Call for Candidates

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

Hello all,

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

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

In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.

In cooperation with the U4C,

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

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.

The Charter Electoral Commission,

Abhinav619, Borschts, Iwuala Lucy, Tochiprecious, Der-Wir-Ing

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!

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

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

• Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
• Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.

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

Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Your wiki will be in read-only soon

Leghje stu missaghju in un'altra lingua • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua

The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

All traffic will switch on 25 September. The switch will start at 15:00 UTC.

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.

A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

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 25 September 2024.
• 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.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Please share this information with your community.

Deployment of Dark mode in Corsican Wikipedia

Hello Corsican Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not written in your native language, Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua.

We are happy to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation Web team have deployed dark mode here on Corsican Wikipedia! This was possible because pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!

This was only possible due to the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who have made sure that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!

For context, we would like to add that the Web team's work on dark mode has concluded. If on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.

If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create this page: Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/co.wikipedia.org in MediaWiki (like these pages), and report the issue in the created page.

Thank you!

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:28, 22 utt 2024 (UTC)
