@Mewasul: @Teodor605: @Asav: God ettermiddag! Jeg har foreslått emnet Identifikator for en term i Språkrådets termwiki på Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/The_Language_Council_of_Norway_Term_ID Om det passer ber jeg dere lese forslaget og eventuelt komme med kommentarer og støtte. Mvh --Pmt (diskusjon) 18. jan. 2021 kl. 17:41 (CET)Svar

@Pmt: Det virker som en god idé, det er en kjempenyttig kilde ihvertfall. Hva har det å si i praksis at det får en slik status? :) (Kan jeg flytte dette til Tinget forresten?) Mewasul (diskusjon)

@Mewasul: Det som skjer er at de termene som er definert i Wikidata vil få en lenke inn til Termlisten til språkrådet. Eksempel Havstrøm Q129558 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129558 i Wikidata. Termen er jo beskrevet i fritekst på de forskjellige språkwikiene, og så strukturert i Wikidata. For å identifisere og autentisere termen blir det lenket til eksterne "kilder" alt i fra VIAF til UNESCO Thesaurus http://vocabularies.unesco.org/browser/thesaurus/en/page/?uri=http://vocabularies.unesco.org/thesaurus/concept6674. Og om den blir godkjent på Wikidata i språkrådet sin termdatabase. Etter det jeg kan se har språkrådets termdatbase over 1000 fagtermer Flytt gjerne dette til tinget. Mvh --Pmt (diskusjon) 18. jan. 2021 kl. 19:38 (CET)Svar

@Pmt: Jeg forstår nok ikke helt hva det er tale om her. Skal alle oppslag i norsk Wiktionary måles opp mot språkrådets termdatabase for å vurdere deres kvalitet? - Teodor (d • b) 18. jan. 2021 kl. 23:54 (CET)Svar

@Teodor605: Sånn sett så har det jeg skriver ingen ting med Wiktionary på norsk å gjøre. Det var bare det at denne "eksterne-identifikatoren" på wikidata hadde med termer å gjøre og et emne på Wikidata har ofte en ekstern identifikator for å kunne vise at samme navnet/begrepet er beskrevet i en annen database. wikidata handler jo om å strukturere data om et emne. En termbase handler vel om å beskrive et begrep innenfor et fagfelt og wiktionary er jo en ordbok, som forklarer gramatikken. (og nå er jeg langt utenfor min komfortsone). Så absolutt ingen kobling eller måling mellom Wiktionary og Språkrådets termwiki eller Wikidata. Det er bare enhenvendelse til mennesker som jobber med språk. Følg gjerne lenken til wikidata for havstrøm og se på de andre identifikatorene som ligger der Mvh --Pmt (diskusjon) 19. jan. 2021 kl. 00:21 (CET)Svar

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. Dodde (administrator)

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

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, --علاء (diskusjon) 7. feb. 2021 kl. 19:35 (CET)Svar

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.

Jeg skjønner ikke noe av kategoriene etter språk. Når jeg klikker på emner etter språk, og velger no:emner, kan jeg klikke på emner etter språk, deretter no:emner, emner etter språk, så no:emner og sånn kan jeg holde på i det uendelige. (Jeg har åpenbart ikke belegg for den siste påstanden siden det ville være umulig😆). Er det noe jeg har misforstått? Dette ser ut til å være konsekvent i kategoriene jeg har klikket meg inn i. — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 24. mai 2021 kl. 15:14 (CEST)Svar

Jeg tror jeg har skjønt det nå. Kategorien «Emner etter språk» var kategorisert i kategorien «Emner». Det løste problemet å flytte kategorien «Emner etter språk» til den høyere kategorien «Kategorier».— Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 24. mai 2021 kl. 15:22 (CEST)Svar

En oppdatering. Mitt nåværende interessefelt vil dreie seg om Kategori:Botanikk og Kategori:no:Botanikk med deres underkategorier og tilstøtende kategorier. Jeg har oppdaget at kategoriene «… etter språk» ser ut til å konsekvent være kategorisert under det emnet de omtaler. Det fører til en loop når man klikker seg gjennom kategorisystemet. I de kategoriene jeg har tatt litt eierskap i vil jeg tillate meg å endre dette.

Jeg har nå kategorisert Kategori:Emner etter språk i Kategori:Kategorier, Kategori:Vitenskap etter språk i Kategori:Emner, Kategori:Biologi etter språk i Kategori:Naturvitenskap, Kategori:Botanikk etter språk i Kategori:Biologi og deretter gjort det samme med alle underkategoriene av Kategori:Botanikk. Selv om jeg nok ikke kommer til å gjøre det (i hvert fall ikke uten å ta tiden til hjelp) synes jeg at det burde vært gjort med alle kategorier etter språk som forårsaker en loop i systemet. Det bør også tas i betraktning når det opprettes nye kategorier. Hvis det finnes noen innvendinger er jeg mer enn villig til å høre på dem. — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 24. mai 2021 kl. 18:23 (CEST)Svar

Etter å ha laget et nytt problem etter å tilsynelatende ha løst et annet har jeg bare tilbakestilt endringene jeg gjorde i kategoriene. Selv om jeg ikke skjønner helt hvorfor det skal være sånn😅— Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 24. mai 2021 kl. 23:35 (CEST)Svar

Hei @Abuluntu, og beklager at jeg ikke har sett meldingene her. Jeg har nok i stor grad opprettet disse kategoriene, men det begynner å bli noen år siden, så ikke så sikkert at jeg klarer å huske hvilken logikk jeg prøvde å følge. Men jeg finner ingen løkke; kan du gi meg et eksempel på en?

Denne kategoriseringen kan automatiseres i større grad via en modul, hvis man bruker en mal/modul-kombinasjon for å kategorisere. Dette er for eksempel gjort på sv-wikt med en tilhørende modul. Fordelen er at man får et uniformt system for alle språk. «Ulempen» er at det er et stort prosjekt å gjøre om på eksisternede system (og at det krever litt teknisk arbeid å få det til).

Det går helt fint! Deilig sommervær.😃 Kategori:Emner → Kategori:Emner etter språk → Kategori:no:Emner → Kategori:Emner etter språk — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 11. jun. 2021 kl. 08:53 (CEST)Svar

Hei igjen @Abuluntu – og beklager nok en gang; det er ikke sommerværet som er distraherende, det er eksamenstid. Jeg tror fortsatt ikke jeg skjønner helt? Altså, Kategori:Emner har Kategori:Emner etter språk som en underkategori, og Kategori:Emner etter språk har kategorien Kategori:no:Emner som en underkategori, men Kategori:no:Emner har ikke Kategori:Emner etter språk som en underkategori? Mewasul (diskusjon) 19. jun. 2021 kl. 09:55 (CEST)Svar

Bare i kategoritre-visningen når man åpner det fra Kategori:Emner etter språk. Det kan være at problemet er større i mitt hode enn i virkeligheten. Det er ihvertfall ikke noe som trenger å forstyrre eksamen😅 — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 19. jun. 2021 kl. 20:53 (CEST)Svar

@Abuluntu: Hmmm – interessant! Jeg forstår hva du mener nå, men jeg forstår samtidig ikke helt hvordan kategoritreet genereres. Hvis man følger kategoriseringen ved å gå via underkategorier, så får man altså ikke samme løkke. Det er antagelig noe et eller annet sted som er galt, men jeg er ganske blank på hva dette konkret kan skyldes. :S Mewasul (diskusjon) 22. jun. 2021 kl. 20:18 (CEST)Svar

@Mewasul: Når jeg besøker no:All topics på engelsk wiktionary skjer det samme når jeg trykker på List of topics > no:All topics. Hvis alle andre lever godt med det kan sikkert jeg lære meg å mestre det også😆 Takk for tålmodig interesse. — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 22. jun. 2021 kl. 22:08 (CEST)Svar

Dear all,

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

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

Below are some links to guide you through;

• Program Submissions
• Session Submission Guidelines
• FAQ

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

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

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

Best regards,

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 "Diskusjonsverktøy" 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.

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.

Hei. Jeg har akkurat blitt oppmerksom på at ordbøkenes lisens nylig er endret til en fri lisens som passer for prosjektene. Er det noen botkjørere som kan nyttiggjøre seg av det? — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 11. nov. 2021 kl. 09:32 (CET)Svar

Hei @Abuluntu, dette ser spennende ut :) Strengt talt ser det vel ut til at CC-BY-4-lisens innføres i 2023, men det er neppe veldig strengt frem til det heller. Men det er et par andre elementer her – vil vi kopiere dette med bot? Hva vil vi eventuelt kopiere? Vi har tidligere lagt inn noe grammatikk automatisk, for dette har vi hatt lister for, men de har begrenset verdi uten definisjon.

Jeg er litt skeptisk til helautomatisert import (overbevis meg gjerne!), men jeg kan godt se for meg at det hadde vært hensiktsmessig f.eks. med en halvautomatisert løsning der man henter inn data, manuelt sjekker og eventuelt endrer på ting, og så publiserer det. Men – dette krever litt teknisk kompetanse, og det vet jeg ikke om noen som er aktive for øyeblikket har. Meg bekjent er det heller ingen aktive botkjørere her. Mewasul (diskusjon) 14. nov. 2021 kl. 19:33 (CET)Svar

Du har rett, lisensen tillater bare digital publisering før 2023, noe vi ikke kan begrense det til (så vidt jeg forstår). Når det gjelder den tekniske biten har jeg lagt merke til at det foregår en utvikling på wikidata som ser ut til å være meningen skal kunne komme wiktionary til nytte. Jeg tenker da på databasene av «lexemer». Kanskje wikidata har noen med teknisk kompetanse som kan se en måte å løse det på, og kanskje samtidig utdanne oss litt på hvordan wiktionary og wikidata er ment å operere sammen også? Slik det er nå konkurrerer de to prosjektene litt med hverandre. — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 14. nov. 2021 kl. 20:42 (CET)Svar

Jeg er også spent på lexemer og når dette blir integrert her :) Jeg ser for meg at vi i fremtiden ikke trenger å angi f.eks. grammatikk manuelt, men at dette kan hentes fra Wikidata. Det er en side for det på engelsk Wiktionary, men det ser ikke ut som om det har vært noen aktivitet nylig. Men om noen fra Wikidata kan bidra med det tekniske, er jeg veldig positiv til å få til noe ihvertfall. Mewasul (diskusjon) 14. nov. 2021 kl. 21:01 (CET)Svar

Det ser uansett ut til at vi har god tid ettersom lisensen ikke tillater noe automatisk innen 2023, men jeg kan ha litt øre og øyner åpne i min ferd omkring på prosjektene, kanskje jeg dumper borti noen som har en god idé. — Mvh. Abuluntu 👨🏼‍💻💬 14. nov. 2021 kl. 21:03 (CET)Svar

Hei, alle sammen! Vil gjerne minne om at 20. mai er fristen for å søke om wikistipend fra Wikimedia Norge. Man kan søke om opptil 8000, og hva man kan søke om penger til er veldig åpent, så lenge det gavner Wikimedia-prosjektene på en eller annen måte. Eksempler på wikistipend som har blitt delt ut tidligere er reisestipend for å delta på Wikimedia-konferanser, reisestipend til å delta på kulturarrangementer eller andre arrangementer for å ta bilder, stipend for å gå til innkjøp av bøker eller annet materiale som kan brukes som kilder til Wikipedia-artikler, eller stipender for å holde arrangementer med wikifokus (men det er selvsagt ikke begrensa til bare disse tingene – fantasien (og utdelingskomiteen) setter grensene). Så løp og søk!

To ganger i året deler vi også ut gratis tilganger til mediearkivet Retriever til de som melder seg på. Vi har seks slike tilganger som kan deles ut, og vi prioriterer selvsagt de som vil bruke en slik tilgang til å berike Wikipedia eller andre Wikimedia-prosjekter, og de som ikke har hatt slik tilgang tidligere stiller først i køen (men det er selvsagt ikke noe i veien for å skrive seg på om man har hatt tilgang tidligere). Hvis du er interessert så skriv deg på lista på Wikipedia:Biblioteket/Lukkede kilder. Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (diskusjon) 13. mai 2022 kl. 10:12 (CEST)Svar

Making this the new default

Hello. 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

• It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by selecting "Vector (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.

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

Hi everyone,

The Affiliate voting process has concluded. Representatives from each Affiliate organization learned about the candidates by reading candidates’ statements, reviewing candidates’ answers to questions, and considering the candidates’ ratings provided by the Analysis Committee. The selected 2022 Board of Trustees candidates are:

• Tobechukwu Precious Friday (Tochiprecious)
• Farah Jack Mustaklem (Fjmustak)
• Shani Evenstein Sigalov (Esh77)
• Kunal Mehta (Legoktm)
• Michał Buczyński (Aegis Maelstrom)
• Mike Peel (Mike Peel)

You may see more information about the Results and Statistics of this Board election.

Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. 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.
• Encourage others in your community to take part in the election.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Verben ta och avta verkar betyda samma sak på norska och svenska, men stämmer det att "ta av" kan betyda öka/lyfta, motsvarande engelska "take off"? (Salget har tatt av.) På svenska är det en synonym till "avta" (minska). Sajten ordbokene.no dokumenterar ta och avta, men inte ta av. -- LA2 (diskusjon) 14. aug. 2022 kl. 20:46 (CEST)Svar

Ja. 'Flyet tok av' betyr det man forventer utifra engelsk. 'Salget har tatt av' vet jeg ikke om er helt gangbart, men førsteinstinktet mitt er ihvertfall ikke at det betyr at det er nedgang i salget. 'Festen tok helt av' eller 'hyttemarkedet har tatt helt av' vil jeg si er gangbare og gjør den overførte betydningen klar. Naob har flere betydninger og eksempler listet.. Telaneo (diskusjon) 14. aug. 2022 kl. 23:45 (CEST)Svar

Det stemmer det ja:) At noe "tar av", er litt muntlig men det brukes for å forklare at noe øker. Så stemningen kan altså "ta av" før den senere begynner å "avta". Det heter vel et autoantonym, og dem finnes det mange av i flere språk. - Teodor (d • b) 15. aug. 2022 kl. 17:47 (CEST)Svar

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

[rediger]

[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?

[rediger]

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

[rediger]

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

Hello all,

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

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

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

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

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

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

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

We thank you for your time and participation.

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

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

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

Denne kunngjøringa kommer litt seint, men det er ikke noe problem å skrive seg på lista også litt etter 20. november.

20. november er også fristen for å søke om wikistipend fra Wikimedia Norge – vi pleier ikke å få mange søknader, så sjansene er gode til å få et stipend om du har en idé til noe som du trenger litt ekstra penger til å gjennomføre.

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!

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

Apologies for writing in English.

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

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

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

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. Mede (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.

Dear community members,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.

You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.

You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.

On behalf of the CAC,

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)

Hi all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks—on August 30th at 15:00 UTC. If you're interested in joining, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This participant-driven meeting will focus on sharing language-specific updates related to various projects, discussing technical issues related to language wikis, and working together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, topics included the Language Converter, the state of language research, updates on the Incubator conversations, and technical challenges around external links not working with special characters on Bengali sites.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates or discuss challenges? Please add agenda items to the document here and reach out to ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org. We look forward to your participation!

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) 22. okt. 2024 kl. 13:29 (CEST)Svar
