Støtter Tyskeren (diskussion) 10. aug 2016, 12:29 (UTC)
Hej, findes der skabeloner for den bestemte entalsform og de ubestemte og bestemte flertalsformer af danske navneord?
Så man slipper for at måtte skrive #Bestemt ental af ''']'''., etc ?
Hvis ej, har det været diskuteret før? Jeg søgte lidt, men fandt intet om dette. Tak på forhånd, B Lemeukx 7. jan 2017, 00:54 (UTC).
Hej, findes der allerede nogle ordlister der er baseret på "logik"?
Jer er ellers startet på at lave nogle beskrivelser selv (Bruger:B Lemeux/Discussion/nom-da-en+et) til at fine ud af om et dansk navneord er intetkøn eller fælleskøn, samt i hvilken bøgningsgruppe det falder (løst baseret på Kategori:Bøjningsskabeloner til dansk). Men hvis der allerede er nogle fastbrændte lister her på stedet, kan jeg måske stoppe med mine lister :-) ?
Tak på forhånd, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 7. jan 2017, 08:51 (UTC)
Hvis andre brugere har alligevel mod på det, prøv at se mine lister igennem, om de holder? :-) For eksempel at navneord der slutter på "~graf" altid følger "en|er" eller om der findes undtagelser? Tak på forhånd. B Lemeukx (diskussion) 7. jan 2017, 19:50 (UTC)
Hej, mønsterartiklen hund har strukturen "noun etym pronun decl" for den danske del, men "etym pronun noun decl" for den norske og svenske. Er den danske struktur den rigtige? Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 8. jan 2017, 21:59 (UTC)
Der er et fåtal gamle skabeloner tilbage med navne der starter med:
Skabelon:User
Fundet via følgende søgning (som giver lidt for meget, men any way).
Da de nuværende, brugte, skabeloner er lokaliserede, kunne de med "User" vist fjernes, eller?
De sider, der bruger dem, forbliver allesammen i deres økosystem, eg Skabelon:User lang-2 bruges kun af Skabelon:User nn-2,Skabelon:User sv-2 og Skabelon:User fr-2.
Eventuelt skal der laves lidt ved én af dem: User_lang_subcat . B Lemeukx (diskussion) 23. jan 2017, 22:48 (UTC)
Hej, artiklen mus og insulin bruger begge bøjningsskabelonen da-noun-infl. Hos mus-artiklen vises alle bøjningsformer hele tiden. Når jeg læser insulin-artiklen ind, vises bøjningsformen i sin helhed kun i omkring 1 sekund, så folder den sammen og man skal trykke på "Show"-lænken. Hvorfor?
Kan man indstille det at de bøjningsformer altid vises udfoldet?
Og hvorfor hedder det "Show" og "Hide", og ej "Vis" og "Skjul"? B Lemeukx (diskussion) 5. feb 2017, 21:32 (UTC)

Hej, jeg finder to modeller
{{-da-}}
og
{{=da=}}
Har vi brug for begge, eller kunne den første erstattes af den sidste? Det ser ud til at vi kun har -da- for danske artikler her, alle andre sprog er med dobbelt-streger. Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 3. jun 2017, 12:44 (UTC)
Hej,
jeg ville lave dokumentation på etymologi-skabelonerne {{term}}, {{suffix}} og {{prefix}}, men det har de det tilsyneladende rigtigt dårligt med. For suffix så det sådan ud:
+ -skab
+ -iste
Hvordan kan man lave en ordentlig dokumentation på disse skabeloner, dvs rækkefølge af elementer og deres betydning? Det er absolut nødvendigt hvis vore brugere skal kunne bruge dem rigtig.
Jeg forstår faktisk overhovedet ej; på den franske wikti har jeg rettet flere end én skabelondokumentation - allesammen uden de problemer jeg støder på her!
I al fald, hvis nogen kan udrette disse skabeloner igen, tak på forskud, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 2. jul 2017, 19:03 (UTC)
Jeg ville dog gerne have at vi laver lidt bedre dokumentation på hvad disse modeller forventer for at give de rigtige resultater. Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 3. jul 2017, 19:49 (UTC).
Enabling Page Previews
Hello,
Based on the positive results of a series of quantitative and qualitative tests, the Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable the Page Previews feature for this project.
Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. However, we realize the needs of the Wiktionary community will not be satisfied by the current implementation of the feature. We are interested in developing separate previews for Wiktionary that will display the wiktionary definition of an item, as well as an image, if available.
We'd like to invite some discussion around interest in this feature, as well as the requirements and elements that would make it useful for the Wiktionary community.
Hej,
en tidligere kommentar på Wiktionary:Skabeloner i underafsnittet af {{-decl-}} ====Bøjning==== sagde om Skabelon:da-noun-infl: Det er ikke det kønneste layout, så du må meget gerne forbedre det.
Jeg har tænkt på at lave farverne mere i stil af vores basismodel Skabelon:da-noun. Et eksempel er på følgende side:
Bruger:B Lemeux/superbager
Kunne I sige hvad I mener?
Jeg har også lavet en "bager-model", for at gøre det nemt at angiver bøjningerne for stort set alle danske stillingsbetegnelser der ender i -er. Man kan direkte bruge den uden at måtte angive formerne for pl-def og pl-def-gen (se eg infl-diskussion). Skal vi have denne skabelon generelt? Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 15. jul 2017, 17:07 (UTC)
Hej, vi har to referenceskabeloner til dansk som er stort set ens, Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon. - 2. udg. 26 bind, 1915-1930, og heldigvis er ingen af dem endnu brugt, burde vi slette en af dem?, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 21. aug 2017, 19:57 (UTC)
I skrivende stund er der 26 sider, der er foreslået slettet i Kategori:Sider der er foreslået slettet hurtigt. Måske kunne Bruger:Kinamand eller Bruger:Palnatoke lokkes til at se på dem :-). Samt evt. konkludere på forslagene på Wiktionary:Sider der bør slettes, når det er passende.
- Sarrus (d • b) d. 26. aug 2017, 09:45 (UTC)
Hello,
At the request of Wikipedia editors, a new feature has been added to MediaWiki. Long lists of references (also called citations or footnotes) will automatically be displayed in columns. This will make it easier for most people to read the references, especially on narrow screens. Short lists of references will not be affected.
I plan to enable this new feature at this wiki on Monday, 11 September 2017. After that date, use the normal <references />
tag on any page with many references to see this feature. If you do not want columns used on that page, then use this wikitext code instead: <references responsive="0" />
Hej,
jeg synes der er for mange løse sider i Wiktionary:Velkommen nybegynder. Jeg nævner i flæng:
Er der nogen der kunne stramme teksten til? Den ser ud til at være så gammel hine steder at der er ej længere relevante emner den beskriver. Eller tager jeg fejl? Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 3. sep 2017, 21:23 (UTC)
Hej,
hvordan kan jeg bedst udtrykke her på da-wikt i etymologi-delen at et sammensat ord "holdes sammen" af fuge-s? Som jeg har startet på i artiklen ejendomsmægler. Er brugen af compound godt nok, eller bliver det for tungt med al den henvisningstekst: ejendom + s (interfix) + mægler, eller skal vi lave specielle skabeloner (til fuge-s, fuge-e, fuge-n, ...) ? Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 4. sep 2017, 19:57 (UTC)
Hej, det er rigtigt forvirrende med de to modsatrettede råd man får hhv på selve Landsbybrønden og hvad man ser, når man har trykket på lænken rediger.
Sådan ser det omtrentligt ud hos mig:

Det læser jeg som at jeg skal indsætte overskrift-delen ovenover denne forklaring: Kopier Brønd|Overskrift= ind over denne kommentar.!
Mens på selve Landsbybrønden står der:
Altså skal man faktisk ej indsætte sin overskriftsdel ind over men faktisk i bunden af siden (under alle de andre indlæg).
Jeg forslår at vi ændrer hjælpeteksten i de to ubehjælpsomme søjler til to blokke, først dansk og så engelsk, og så også gør klarere at man bør indsætte overskrift... i bunden af siden.
Allerhelst så jeg, at man kunne lave denne rediger lænke så den automatisk indsætte lænket i bunden af siden. Kan vi ej finde ud af dette?
Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 21. aug 2017, 20:17 (UTC)
Hej,
når jeg bruger etymologiebank.nl synes de i bunden på hver artikel og på deres hovedside at gøre opmærksom på en fuld kildehenvisning. Jeg har derfor bragt vores tilsvarende skabelon på højde med dette. Men er det nødvendigt? Kan vi "nøjes" med bare at have den fulde kildebeskrivelse i selve skabelonopsætningen? Så at den tekst vi indsætter i vore opslagsordsartikler bliver kort som før:
Og i skabelonen er der tilføjet en noinclude-del som følger:
Så at man kan se fuld kildeangivelse ved at bruge vores interne lænke til skabelonen og den ej fylder vore artikler op? Ville vi være "god" på denne måde?, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 21. okt 2017, 13:16 (UTC)
Hej, jeg ser vi har yderligere en dublet på to skabeloner: {{also}} og {{også}}. Den sidste bliver flittigt brugt og er den mest danske, den første kom vist fra opstarten, pardon startup og bruges "kun" mellem 250 og under 500 gange.
Begge er begrænsede til kun 10 eller 9 elementer. Angives flere, som i dé-, optræder de i følgende: Kategori:Limit of template reached; og kun de 10 eller 9 første elementer vises.
Jeg vil forslå at vi laver to ting:
Tak, B Lemeukx (diskussion) 23. dec 2017, 11:56 (UTC)
Hej igen, vi har også en dublet her med {{-bøjn-}} som kun bruges lidt over 100 gange. Normalt bruger vi {{-decl-}}.
Hej B Lemeux og andre,
Du har tidligere udtrykt et ønske om et oversættelseværktøj. Jeg har kopieret translation_editor fra sv.wikt. Vil du (og andre interesserede) installere det (under Mine indstillinger > Gadgets) og fortælle mig hvad I synes? Det virker kun sammen med {{trans-top}} ({{(}} bliver vist også brugt til andre ting, så at ændre den ville nok være en dårlig idé). Desuden bliver navnet på sproget givet direkte, og ikke ved skabelon, hvilket jeg selv synes er en fordel. Jeg kan også få sprognavnet til at være med stort begyndelsesbogstav, hvis der er flertal for det (selv foretrækker jeg lille).__Gamren (diskussion) 16. dec 2017, 18:48 (UTC)
Jeg har ofte lyst til å legge inn oversettelser til norsk når jeg ser det mangler; kanskje også opprette oppslag for ord som ikke har det. Men norsk kommer i flere former (offisielle målformer bokmål og nynorsk, uoffisielle målformer riksmål og høgnorsk), og jeg vet ikke om dere har en politikk på hvordan dere angir dette? Det er et noe komplisert tema, og ikke opplagt hvilken måte man bør gjøre det på (f.eks. behandles det som ett språk på no-wikt, men to på nn-wikt) – men ihvertfall virker det logisk å ha en felles rettningslinje på det, så oppslagene får noenlunde likt oppsett. Det virker litt unødvendig å legge inn oversettelser før noe slikt er på plass, for man må muligens gjøre alt om igjen .. Mewasul (diskussion) 8. feb 2018, 04:26 (UTC)
Gamren: det at en del ord faller utenfor gitte normer er også en del av min motivasjon for å behandle norsk som ett språk, på no-wikt. :) Ellers: alt er mulig, man må bare tenke litt og se hva som vil virke hensiktsmessig.
Dette er vel større spørsmål enn norsk, men er ganske relevante i denne diskusjonen. Og hvis dere allerede har en praksis på dette er det kanskje lettest å følge den videre :)
Mewasul (diskussion) 14. feb 2018, 02:44 (UTC)
Jeg prøvde meg litt frem – men er fortsatt litt usikker. Hvis dere, som er kjent med deres struktur, skulle legge inn et ord på norsk – det være godkjent i alle målformer, som kaffe, eller kun i bokmål og riksmål, som være (nynorsk har vere eller vera) – hvor ville dere angitt målform?

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:
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: [email protected] or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.
On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.
The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.
If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.
Best regards,
Movement Strategy and Governance Team

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:
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,
Wikimedia Danmark er det danske Wikimedia-chapter og har til formål at støtte op om Wikimedias projekter – herunder Wiktionary – og fri viden generelt. Som redegjort for på w:Wikipedia:Landsbybrønden/Wikimedia Danmarks strategiplan for de kommende år har foreningen udarbejdet en strategiplan der skal være vejledende for vores arbejde i de kommende år. Søjle I i strategiplanen omhandler understøttelse af Wikimedia-fællesskabet, og et underelement af denne søjle er det jeg kalder umiddelbare tiltag. Altså meget direkte måder vi kan hjælpe dem der bidrager til Wikimedia-projekterne.
Hvis man har noget input til, hvordan Wikimedia Danmark kan være til gavn for communityet – hvad enten her på Wiktionary eller på de andre Wikimedia-projekter, skal man være meget velkommen til at deltage i diskussionen på w:Wikipedia:Landsbybrønden/Hvordan kan Wikimedia Danmark hjælpe communityet?

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

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:
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.

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.

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.

Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,

The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on 20 September. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

Dear all,
Please review and comment on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection rules package from now until 29 October 2023. The selection rules package was based on older versions by the Elections Committee and will be used in the 2024 Board of Trustees selection. Providing your comments now will help them provide a smoother, better Board selection process. More on the Meta-wiki page.

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.
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.
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.
The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector 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.
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskussion) 26. okt. 2023, 01:09 (UTC)

Thank you everyone for following the progress of the Universal Code of Conduct. I am writing to you today to announce the outcome of the ratification vote on the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee Charter. 1746 contributors voted in this ratification vote with 1249 voters supporting the Charter and 420 voters not.

Hello all,
I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 2024.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.
Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end . The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff . The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov . The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here .
Here are the key planned dates:
Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

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

Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.
With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

Hej. Fællesskabets medlemmer har i mange år efterspurgt en let måde at genbruge henvisninger med forskellige detaljer. Nu er der en MediaWiki-løsning på vej: Den nye henvisningsmulighed kommer til at kunne bruges i wikitext og Visual Editor, og den vil udvide det eksisterende henvisningssystem. Man kan stadig bruge forskellige måder at henvise på, men man vil sikkert møde underhenvisninger i artikler, der er skrevet af andre brugere. Der er flere informationer på projektets side.
Vi har brug for dit feedback, så vi kan være sikre på, at muligheden virker godt for dig:
Wikimedia Deutschland’s hold for Tekniske Ønsker har planer om at indføre denne mulighed på Wikimedia wiki'erne senere på året. Vi vil henvende os til opbyggerne/vedligeholderne af værktøjer og templates, der på forhånd er knyttet til henvisninger.

Hello all, sorry to write in English, but I do not speak Danish at all.
I'm a Wiktionarian, NLP researcher and I am the author of DBnary, a tool that extracts many language editions of wiktionaries and make it freely available as linked data. I have recently been asked to extract the Danish edition and the extractor is now almost fully operational and Danish is the 26th edition extracted by DBnary.
During the extraction process, I wander around the pages and saw a strange choice in the page encodings that leads to difficulties in extracting, but more importantly to inconsistencies in many entries. The problem comes with the -expr- Template used ambiguously for the definition of "Expressions" (Udtryk) as Lexical entries and the definition of expressions involving the currently described lexical entry.
As far as I can tell, the main usage is to add a language tag as argument in {{-expr-|da}} for the former and no argument as in {{-expr-}} for the later. It is only a usage as the argument is never used nor tested by the template itself and no category is added for the former. There are also some errors, which I corrected to add more consistency in the current status. This usage is also mentioned in some documentation pages like Wiktionary:WikiProjekt Fransk/Værktøj and Wiktionary:Skabeloner.
The main problem comes from the fact that the former use should involve a level 3 heading and the later use a level 4 heading. This leads to pages where the structure is unclear and the entry rendering is puzzling as the Part Of Speech appears too small (as in tueur en série). To avoid this, few pages used directly a Heading as in viel Geschrei und wenig Wolle.
Would it be interesting to create a new template for the first usage (Udtryk as a Part of Speech, that would take a language code as first arg and create the correct heading along the correct category (as -noun- or other PoS templates. The list of entries that would be impacted by the decision is given in may user page User:dodecaplex. What do you think of this proposal, would somebody volunteer to create such a template and correct the mentioned entries ?
Thanks in advance.
