Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

Hei. 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.

Kiitos! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

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

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
- One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
- New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
- Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

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) 26. helmikuuta 2020 kello 14.14 (UTC)[vastaa]

Etäopetuksen osasto

Lisäsin osastoihin uuden osaston nimeltään Etäopetuksen osasto. Veimme sinne "Etäopetuksen näytön paikka" -yhteisdokumentin. Tämä voisi olla ajankohtainen juuri tällä hetkellä eli sen voisi laittaa etusivulle Ajankohtaista -kohtaan. Voisiko sen saada myös vasempaan palkkiin Perusopetuksen lähelle? --Teromakotero (keskustelu) 25. maaliskuuta 2020 kello 09.04 (UTC)[vastaa]

Värjärin sanasto

Kuulun Värjärikilta ry:hyn, jossa on haaveiltu jo pitkään värjärien sanastosta. Sanaston luomisen ja ylläpidon kannalta olisi ihanteellista, jos tietoja pääsisi lisäämään kuka tahansa luonnonvärjäyksestä kiinnostunut. Wikipedian puolelle ei sanastoamme kelpuutettu, ja sieltä suositeltiin tätä Wikikirjastoa tähän tarkoitukseen. Jotten tekisi turhaa työtä, kysyisinkin, kuulostaako tämä siltä, että Wikikirjasto olisi sille oikea paikka? --Luonnonvärjäri (keskustelu) 2. toukokuuta 2020 kello 09.13 (UTC)[vastaa]

Mockup of the new reply feature, showing new editing tools — 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 "Keskustelutyökalut". 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.

Hei. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi if necessary. Kiitos!

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, 2. heinäkuuta 2020 kello 19.52 (UTC)

A gold star with a blue ribbon, and the text 50m — 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 ^[1] 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 ^[2]. 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 ^[3]. 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)

Moikka. Wikikirjaston etusivu näyttää nykyään tyhmältä mobiililaitteilla (phab:T254287). Tein tarvittavat muokkaukset hiekkalaatikkooni. Tämä kuitenkin vaatisi sen, että joku jonka oikeudet riittävät tekisi nämä samat muutokset oikeaan etusivuun. Pyydän tässä kohdin siis paikallisia oikeuksien haltijoita tekemään nämä muutokset ennen järjestelmänlaajuisiin käyttöliittymän muokkaajiin kääntymistä.

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:

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa toissijaista datakeskustaan. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen suuronnettomuuden jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Kaikki tietoliikenne siirretään toissijaiseen datakeskukseen tiistaina 1. syyskuuta 2020.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, joiden vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan tiistaina 1. syyskuuta. Testi alkaa 14:00 UTC (kello 17 Suomen aikaa).
Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.
Koodin jäädyttäminen tapahtuu viikolla, jolla 1 syyskuuta 2020 sijoittuu. Kiireettömät ohjelmiston julkaisut keskeytetään.

Projektia voidaan tarpeen mukaan siirtää. Voit katsoa aikataulun sivulta wikitech.wikimedia.org. Kaikista aikataulua koskevista muutoksista ilmoitetaan etukäteen. Ilmoitamme vielä lisää tästä. Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa.

Update to ICU Unicode library

Starting on November 16, we will migrate the servers running the MediaWiki application servers to a new release of the ICU Unicode library (w:International Components for Unicode) (from version 57 to 63).

This unblocks some future work on upgrading the servers to a new Operating System release and will also allow the use of improved internationalisation in the future (as wikis will then be able to use features introduced by the new ICU release such as new collation definitions, and allows us to use a more recent version of Unicode in MediaWiki).

This migration will cause some unavoidable temporary user-visible impact: The sorting of some category pages will be distorted – all pages which have been updated with the new software version will use the new sorting while untouched pages still use the old sorting. As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries.

The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki.

This affects 149 wikis (including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias). The detailed list and the task for the technical implementation is at T264991.

Thank you.

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!

TÄRKEÄÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden tarkastus

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamista (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjä jne.) otettiin käyttöön yhteisön konsensuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaisesti ylivalvojat arvioivat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole käytäntöä aktiivisuuden vähäisyydestä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamiseksi tunnuksilta, jotka eivät ole aktiivisia. Tämä tarkoittaa, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat asiasta ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden arvioinnin nojalla.

Katsomme, että seuraavat käyttäjät ovat määritelmän mukaan passiivisia (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli kahteen vuoteen):

TJ (byrokraatti, ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoituksen, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, mikäli he haluavat säilyttää jonkin käyttöoikeutensa tai kaikki oikeudet. Jos käyttäjät eivät reagoi tähän viestiin, ylivalvojat poistavat heiltä edistyneet käyttöoikeudet.

Mikäli te yhteisönä haluatte laatia oman menetelmänne aktiivisuuden tutkimiseen, joka tulee järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön tilalle, tai jos haluatte tehdä toisenlaisen ratkaisun koskien näitä passiivisia käyttöoikeuden haltijoita tai jos teillä on olemassa oleva käytäntö, jota emme ole huomanneet, ottakaa yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä. Näin saamme asiasta tiedon emmekä suorita jatkossa käyttöoikeuksien arviointia wikissänne. Kiitos, --علاء (keskustelu) 18. tammikuuta 2021 kello 10.37 (UTC)[vastaa]

Eri opetussuunnitelmat perusopetuksen ja lukion kirjoissa

Osa kirjoista on kirjoitettu eri opetussuunnitelmien mukaan. Suurin osa vaikuttaa pohjautuvan vuoden 2016 opetussuunnitelmaan, mutta opetussuunnitelma muuttuu taas uudelleen 2021. Käytettävät opetussuunnitelmat menevät vuosiluokan mukaan, eli molemmat opetussuunnitelmat ovat yhtä aikaa käytössä. Pitäisikö eri opetussuunnitelmille olla kokonaan eri kirjat, vai pitäisikö olla ainoastaan omat etusivut molemmille opetussuunnitelmille, joista molemmat linkittää samoihin kurssien kappaleisiin, mutta vain opetussuunnitelman omassa järjestyksessä? Toinen vaihtoehto olisi muokata vanha opetussuunnitelma uuden mukaiseksi, mutta tämä tekisi opiskelun hankalammaksi vanhaa opetussuunnitelmaa käyttäville. Tämä varmaan riippuu tapauskohtaisesti siitä kuinka paljon muutoksia eri aineiden opetussuunnitelmissa on.

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

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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

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

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

Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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.

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Alkaen 15 huhtikuuta voit ottaa käyttöön rivien numerointia eräissä wikitekstieditoreissa, ensin Malline -nimiavaruudessa ja myöhemmin myös muissa nimiavaruuksissa. Tämä ominaisuus helpottaa rivinvaihtojen tunnistamista sekä tiettyyn riviin viittaamista keskusteluissa. Rivit numeroidaan kun otat koodin väritys -toiminnalisuuden käyttöön (CodeMirror), mikä on mahdollista WikiEditorilla sekä uudella wikitekstitilalla.

Lisätietoa löytyy tällä projektisivulla. Palautetta pyydetään lisätä tälle keskustelusivulle.

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

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 "Keskustelutyökalut" 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.

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen suuronnettomuuden jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, joiden vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan tiistaina 29. kesäkuuta. Testi alkaa 14:00 UTC (kello 17 Suomen aikaa).
Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.
Koodin jäädyttäminen tapahtuu viikolla, jolle 28. kesäkuuta 2021 sijoittuu. Kiireettömät ohjelmiston julkaisut keskeytetään.

Projektia voidaan tarpeen mukaan siirtää. Voit katsoa aikataulun wikitech.wikimedia.orgista. Kaikista aikataulua koskevista muutoksista ilmoitetaan etukäteen. Ilmoitamme vielä lisää tästä. Kaikissa wikeissä näytetään banneri 30 minuuttia ennen operaatiota. Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa.

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.

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.

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

TÄRKEÄÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden tarkastus

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamista (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjä jne.) otettiin käyttöön yhteisön konsensuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaisesti ylivalvojat arvioivat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole käytäntöä aktiivisuuden vähäisyydestä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamiseksi tunnuksilta, jotka eivät ole aktiivisia. Tämä tarkoittaa, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat asiasta ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden arvioinnin nojalla.

Katsomme, että seuraavat käyttäjät ovat määritelmän mukaan passiivisia (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli kahteen vuoteen):

Hartz (ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoituksen, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, mikäli he haluavat säilyttää jonkin käyttöoikeutensa tai kaikki oikeudet. Jos käyttäjät eivät reagoi tähän viestiin, ylivalvojat poistavat heiltä edistyneet käyttöoikeudet.

Mikäli te yhteisönä haluatte laatia oman menetelmänne aktiivisuuden tutkimiseen, joka tulee järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön tilalle, tai jos haluatte tehdä toisenlaisen ratkaisun koskien näitä passiivisia käyttöoikeuden haltijoita tai jos teillä on olemassa oleva käytäntö, jota emme ole huomanneet, ottakaa yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä. Näin saamme asiasta tiedon emmekä suorita jatkossa käyttöoikeuksien arviointia wikissänne. Kiitos, Stanglavine (keskustelu) 4. tammikuuta 2022 kello 15.38 (UTC)[vastaa]

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.

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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.

Desktop Improvements update

Making this the new default

Hei. I wanted to give you an update about the Desktop Improvements project, which the Wikimedia Foundation Web team has been working on for the past few years. Our work is almost finished! 🎉

We would love to see these improvements become the default for readers and editors across all wikis. In the coming weeks, we will begin conversations on more wikis, including yours. 🗓️ We will gladly read your suggestions!

The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more. The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in French, Portuguese, and Persian.

The changes apply to the Vector skin only, although it will always be possible to revert to the previous version on an individual basis. Monobook or Timeless users will not notice any changes.

The newest features

Table of contents - our version is easier to reach, gain context of the page, and navigate throughout the page without needing to scroll. It is currently tested across our pilot wikis. It is also available for editors who have opted into the Vector 2022 skin.
Page tools - now, there are two types of links in the sidebar. There are actions and tools for individual pages (like Related changes) and links of the wiki-wide nature (like Recent changes). We are going to separate these into two intuitive menus.

How to enable/disable the improvements

Järjestelmänlaajuiset asetukset

It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by selecting "Vektori (2022)". Also, it is possible to opt-in on all wikis using the global preferences.
On wikis where the changes are visible by default for all, logged-in users can always opt-out to the Legacy Vector. There is an easily accessible link in the sidebar of the new Vector.

Learn more and join our events

If you would like to follow the progress of our project, you can subscribe to our newsletter. You can read the pages of the project, check our FAQ, write on the project talk page, and join an online meeting with us.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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:

Read candidates’ statements and read the candidates’ answers to the questions posed by the Affiliate Representatives.
Propose and select the 6 questions for candidates to answer during their video Q&A.
See the Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each candidate’s statement.
Propose statements for the Election Compass voters can use to find which candidates best fit their principles.

Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rs chen 7754 28. heinäkuuta 2022 kello 03.49 (UTC)[vastaa]

Linkittäminen alasivujen välillä ja kirjan siirto käyttäjäsivulta lopulliselle nimelle

1. Luonnostelen käyttäjäsivullani erikoissanakirjaa, jonka nimeksi tulisi myöhemmin "Ateismin avainsanat". Työ on vielä pahasti kesken. Ensimmäinsen termin alasivu alkaa lähestyä tavoittelemaani ulkoasua.

Haluaisin tehdä nyt linkit sivun lähikäsitteet listasta vastaaville sivuille. Yritin testimielessä tehdä linkityksen kahden ensimmäisen avainsanan välille (ne eivät ole lähikäsitteitä). En onnistunut. Miten se tehdään?

2. Muuttuuko linkitykset automaattisesti oikeiksi, kun kirja siirretään lopulliselle nimelle?

3. Entä näyttäisikö tämän suunnitelma muuten toteuttamiskelpoiselta?

--Välkky (keskustelu) 26. elokuuta 2022 kello 07.40 (UTC)[vastaa]

Taisinkin jo itse keksiä ratkaisun eli linkki "../toinen_alasivu" näyttäisi toimivan eikä kaipaa sivun siirrossa muutoksia linkityksiin. Muut kommentit ovat edelleen tervetulleita.

Invitation to join the Movement Strategy Forum

Malline:More languages

Hello everyone,

The Movement Strategy Forum (MS Forum) is a multilingual collaborative space for all conversations about Movement Strategy implementation.

We are inviting all Movement participants to collaborate on the MS Forum. The goal of the forum is to build community collaboration, using an inclusive multilingual platform.

The Movement Strategy is a collaborative effort to imagine and build the future of the Wikimedia Movement. Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy, from a comment to a full-time project.

Join this forum with your Wikimedia account, engage in conversations, and ask questions in your language.

The Movement Strategy and Governance team (MSG) launched the proposal for the MS Forum in May 2022. There was a 2-month community review period, which ended on 24 July 2022. The community review process included several questions that resulted in interesting conversations. You can read the Community Review Report.

We look forward to seeing you at the MS Forum!

Best regards,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

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) 22. syyskuuta 2022 kello 04.14 (UTC)[vastaa]

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

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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,

Your wiki will be in read only soon

Lue tämä toisella kielellä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen suuronnettomuuden jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Kaikki tietoliikenne siirretään 1 maaliskuun. Testi alkaa kello 14:00 UTC.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, joiden vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan keskiviikko 1 maaliskuun 2023.
Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen katastrofin jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, jonka vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan 26. huhtikuuta 2023.
Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin, ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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,

Automatic citations based on ISBN are broken

Apologies if this message does not reach you in your favorite language. You can help translate it centrally at Meta. Thanks for your help.

We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's Editing team is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.

This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on refToolbar. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.

You can keep updated on the situation via Phabricator, or by reading the next issues of m:Tech News. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.

Hello there,

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

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

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Hei!

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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, 28. elokuuta 2023 kello 15.35 (UTC)[vastaa]

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

Read this in your language • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi • 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.

Järjestelmänlaajuiset asetukset

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

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

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

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

About the skin

[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!

(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
