This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 10 aprilie 2015 16:12 (UTC)

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (discuție) 24 iulie 2015 05:08 (UTC)

Salut! Aș vrea să mut lista de demonime de la articolul „Demonim”, de pe Wikipedia, într-un articol numit „Listă de demonime în limba română”, aici pe Wikționar. E o listă cuprinzătoare și utilă dar locul ei nu este tocmai într-un articol de pe Wikipedia. Inițial vream să scriu în secțiunea respectivă doar reguli generale de formare a acestora, dar cum nu am găsit niciunde informații despre așa ceva am adăugat pur și simplu cuvintele propriu-zise, mai întâi cele mai puțin intuitive apoi din ce în ce mai multe.

Întrebarea mea este, e în regulă crearea unui astfel de articol pe Wikționar sau sunt permise doar pagini cu cuvinte individuale? --ANDROBETA (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 15:51 (UTC)

Observ existența paginii „Listă de arhaisme românești” și a paginilor tip „apendice” care conțin liste, deci presupun că e în regulă crearea paginii pentru demonime. --ANDROBETA (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 16:04 (UTC)

Salut Androbeta! Nu cred că Wikționarul este forumul potrivit pentru o asemenea listă - în special considerând că lista deja există pe Wikipedia. Am consultat alte Wikționare și nici-unul conține liste de acest gen. Pagine de genul „Listă de arhaisme românești” și „apendice” sunt relicve care vor dispărea când o să am timp să le anulez. Pe Wikționar, numai cuvinte individuale sunt permise în crearea articolelor. Toate cele bune, --Robbie SWE (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 16:23 (UTC)

Aș dori și alte păreri. Ești singurul contribuitor activ de pe Wikționar? Nu cred că se poate obține un consens valid doar cu două persoane, este opinia unuia împotriva opiniei celuilalt, iar opinia mea este că acest gen de liste este foarte util și potrivit aici. La Wikipedia există articole listă și sunt un lucru normal acolo, dar genul ăsta de listă e practic un minidicționar de demonime în limba română, iar Wikipedia menționează explicit că scopul ei nu este acela de a fi un dicționar. Deci cel mai potrivit loc pentru ea ar fi aici iar acolo doar adăugat un format care trimite la articolul corespunzător de pe Wikționar. Aștept și alte păreri. --ANDROBETA (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 17:08 (UTC)

Bineînțeles că și eu mi-aș dori mai multe opinii, dar nu știu dacă ați sesizat Androbeta, dar suntem doar doi (eu și Klaudiu), cel mult trei (la aleatoriu), utilizatori pe Wikționar. În funcția de administrator și birocrat, este responsabilitatea mea să garantez un proiect uniform, consecvent și user-friendly. Am comparat cu alte Wikționare (în special cel englezesc, care este punctul meu de referință) și listele nu sunt frecvente. Dacă listele sunt mai comune pe Wikipedia, de ce să nu le menținem acolo? Eu sunt mai înclinat să intensificăm cooperarea între diferite proiecte folosind interwiki – așa cum se face când există articole pe Wikipedia care coincid cu cele de pe Wikționar (vedeți categoria „țări în română” pentru referință).

Nu sunt de părerea dumneavoastră că această listă este practic unui dicționar – eu nu am folosit un dicționar – virtual sau tipărit – în care apar liste când se cuvine. Faptul că alte ediții ale Wikipediei – așa cum legăturile arată – includ liste cu demonime, demonstrează că locul potrivit pentru o asemenea listă este totuși Wikipedia.

Și nu în ultimul rând am înțeles că există o dispută privind acest termen. În timp ce nu este un cuvânt „standard” – fiind relativ nou, inclus numai în ultimul timp în DEX și fără o circulație reală (o căutare pe Google ne dă doar 283 de rezultate, https://www.google.ro/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22demonim%22&safe=off&tbs=lr:lang_1ro&lr=lang_ro) – să ne mulțumim cu faptul că acest cuvânt nu a fost exclus din Wikționar. Eu am restricții mari pentru includerea cuvintelor pe Wikționar și eram chiar pe punctul să exclud acest cuvânt.

În orice caz, mulțumesc pentru contribuțiile dumneavoastră și sper că vreți să continuați să participați pe Wikționar chiar dacă tentativa de a adăuga o listă de demonime nu a fost admisă. --Robbie SWE (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 19:57 (UTC)

În fine, dar vă înșelați fundamental în două privințe. În primul rând, corectitudinea folosirii sau nu a termenului „demonim”, care încă este foarte restrânsă, este complet irelevantă pentru discuția aceasta, în ultimă instanță putând fi înlocuit cu sintagma „nume de locuiori”, deci n-are nicio treabă cu lista în cauză. În al doilea rând, o listă de demonime cu formatul „loc → locuitor” nu este cu nimic diferită de un dicționar de sinonime („cuvânt → cuvânt cu înțeles identic”), antonime („cuvânt → cuvânt cu înțeles opus”), paronime („cuvânt → cuvânt asemănător”) ș.a. --ANDROBETA (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 20:53 (UTC)

Nu înțeleg la ce vă referiți. Wikționarul nu este exclusiv un dicționar de sinonime, antonime, paronime ș.a.m.d. Dacă listele sunt atât de „naturale”, de ce nu sunt normalizate pe celelalte Wikționare? Pentru că sunt pur și simplu în afara scopului unui dicționar. Un dicționar funcționează așa: caut un cuvânt → scriu cuvântul → îmi dă un rezultat (eventual cu traduceri în alte limbi). Nu poți căuta „listă de demonime” într-un dicționar - este ilogic și impracticabil. --Robbie SWE (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 21:20 (UTC)

Dragul meu domn, eu știu că ideală ar fi fost crearea unei secțiuni separate, pentru demonime, pe pagina fiecărei denumiri de entități geografice distincte, similare secțiunii „sinonime” sau „antonime”, dar cine stă acum să creeze peste o sută de pagini cu denumiri de orașe, țări, județe, sate etc., pentru a adăuga demonimul corespondent? Dacă tot există deja practica paginilor de tip apendice și listă pe Wikționar (ceea ce nu puteți nega, mai ales că au fost create prin consens între utilizatori), cu ce ar strica una în plus, urmând ca apoi conținutul ei să fie integrat treptat în cadrul articolelor corespondente pe măsură ce acestea sunt create? --ANDROBETA (discuție) 25 iulie 2015 21:53 (UTC)

Stimatul Androbeta, dă-mi voie să fiu clar, majoritatea listelor și apendicelor pe Wikționar au fost create în faza incipientă a proiectului, când aveam numai câteva sute de articole. Niciodată eu nu am negat că există. Scopul lor era să garanteze că, oricum dacă nu aveam un articol separat pentru cuvântul căutat, nimeni nu trebuia să rămână fără rezultat. Actualmente, cu peste 117 000 de articole, spuneți-mi unde este logica în propunerea dumneavoastră: (1) avem un articol numit e.g. japonez, (2) o categorie deja desemnată pentru cuvinte de acest tip și (3) vreți să adăugați o listă în plus cu aceeași informație care deja există în punctele (1) și (2).

V-am explicat pe pagina dumneavoastră de disuții că vreau să simplific, să eliberez Wikționarul de ambiguități și să garantez un proiect de calitate. Din această cauză nu pot accepta mentalitatea dumneavoastră „cu ce ar strica una în plus” – adevărul este că ar strica foarte mult, pentru că încurajează alți contribuitori să adauge listele lor de interes care eventual pot veni în conflict cu politica Wikționarului. V-am spus că aceste liste și apendice vor fi șterse – decizia este luată. --Robbie SWE (discuție) 26 iulie 2015 11:17 (UTC)

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in the Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the soon for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

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

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

Hello all,

Sorry for writing this message in English, please feel free to translate it in your own language below.

The Wikidata development team will start working on integrating lexicographical data in the knowledge base soon and we want to make sure we do this together with you.

Wikidata is a constantly evolving project and after four years of existence, we start with implementing support for Wiktionary editors and content, by allowing you to store and improve lexicographical data, in addition to the concepts already maintained by thousands of editors on Wikidata.

We have been working on this idea for almost three years and improving it with a lot of inputs from community members to understand Wiktionary processes.

Starting this project, we hope that the editors will be able to collaborate across Wiktionaries more easily. We expect to increase the number of editors and visibility of languages, and we want to provide the groundwork for new tools for editors.

Our development plan contains several phases in order to build the structure to include lexicographical data:

• creating automatic interwiki links on Wiktionary,
• creating new entity types for lexemes, senses, and forms on Wikidata,
• providing data access to Wikidata from Wiktionary
• improving the display of lexicographical information on Wikidata.

During the next months, we will do our best to provide you the technical structure to store lexicographical data on Wikidata and use it on Wiktionary. Don’t hesitate to discuss this within your local community, and give us feedback about your needs and the particularities of your languages.

Information about supporting lexicographical entities on Wikidata is available on this page. You can find an overview of the project, the detail of the development plan, answers to frequently asked questions, and a list of people ready to help us. If you want to have general discussions and questions about the project, please use the general talk page, as we won’t be able to follow all the talk pages on Wiktionaries. If you don’t feel comfortable with English, you can write in your own language and hopefully someone will volunteer to translate.

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (discuție) / MediaWiki message delivery (discuție) 13 noiembrie 2016 23:59 (UTC)

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

• April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
• April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
• April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
• May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
• May 15–19 – Board vote checking
• May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

• Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
  • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

• Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
  • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.

Hello all,

(I'm sorry to write in English, feel free to translate in your own language below)

From April 24th, a new interlanguage link system will be deployed on all Wiktionaries. This extension, Cognate, automatically links the pages with the same title between the Wiktionaries. This means they no longer have to be added in the pages of the main namespace.

This new feature has been developed by Wikimedia Deutschland as the first step of the project Wikidata for Wiktionary, but does not rely on Wikidata.

To allow the feature to operate, all the former interlanguage links have to be removed from the wikitext. You can do this by using a bot, as it was done on Wikipedia in the past. If you leave them in they will overwrite the automatic links.

During the development we had a lot of discussions with Wiktionary editors to understand their needs, but it's possible that some automatic links don't work as you would expect. If you find some bugs or have suggestions for improvements, feel free to add a sub-task on Phabricator or add a message on this talk page.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

• Healthy, Inclusive Communities
• The Augmented Age
• A Truly Global Movement
• The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
• Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Sincer să fiu, mă îndoiesc că cele scrise aci vor fi citite, considerate ca atare și urmate de măsuri reparatorii la obiect...

O limbă este comoara intelectuală cea mai de preț a unui POPOR, ea îl exprimă pe acesta în modul cel mai direct în concurența acerbă cu celelalte popoare, nu în ultimul rând față de cele învecinate lui.

1. Situația existentă la ro.Wikționar în comparație cu alte NAȚIONALE Wicționare lasă mult de dorit, este DEZASTRUOASĂ.
2. La noi se menține de ani buni de zile un STATUS-QUO dictatorial al singurului (SINGURUL ...!!!) administrator auorizat să editeze, care taie și spânzură la ro.Wikționar - Robbie SWE -, un emigrant român în Suedia și de unde face tot posibilul să împiedice libera participare a altora la paginile electronice ale ro.Wikt. Astfel, înte alte acțiuni de supervizare dictatorială, Robbie SWE are și sarcina de a-l urmări și discredita peste tot, pe orice site-Wiki pe rebelul wikipedist BAICAN XXX, care este quasi-interzis în siteurile Wiki românești din motive securiste. Totuși, acesta deși a fost vreme de luni de zile blocat la en.Wikt datorită intrigilor și bârfelilor operate de Robbie SWE, are acolo drept de editare apropiind acolo de 10.000 de contribuții.
3. Starea de la ro.Wikt este total sub posibilitățile noastre, numărul de aprox. 160.000 de articole fiind cu mult în urma spaniolilor, polonezilor, italienilor și nemților, wikționre care au de 4-6 ori mai multe articole/cuvinte decât noi.
4. Ar trebui cu alți noi-numiți 4-6 administratori să se structureze altfel activitatea la ro.Wikționar, pentru că ceea ce face suedezul administrator Robbie SWE este momentan doar o activitate de umplutură care ne va duce curând în situația de a avea un ro.Wicționar de mâna a 3-a.

Bine ați venit la Wikționar și vă mulțumim pentru critică! Vă răspund la fiecare critică/recomandare în parte:

1. Sunt complet de acord, și sunt sigur că și Robbie este de acord de asemenea. Avem undeva un pic peste 76 de mii de cuvinte în limba română, și aproape încă pe atâta în alte limbi. Sunt multe concepte care lipsesc din Wikționar, așa că vă invit, călduros, să vă alăturați inițiativei noastre și să contribuiți voluntar, cum facem și noi, la crearea de articole noi. Vă atrag atenția, însă, că avem un set de reguli care trebuie respectate. Vă scriu separat despre asta, dacă doriți.
2. Nu sunt sub nici o formă de acord. Există doi administratori umani la Wikționar, Robbie și subsemnatul. În nici un caz nu s-a întâmplat ca oricare din noi să împiedice libera participare — nici nu e tehnic posibil așa ceva. Dimpotrivă, tot ce facem este să filtrăm/îmbunătățim ceea ce creează la Wikționar de către persoane mai puțin experimentate. De fiecare dată oferim explicații și indicăm articolele care descriu regulile proiectului. Nu pot comenta quasi-interzicerea lui Baican la siturile ro sau en, nu am fost implicat în nici una din aceste interziceri. Sunt sigur însă că nu a fost decizia unei singure persoane și că situațiile au fost discutate pe larg.
3. Vă rog să recitiți punctul nr. 1.
4. Desigur, ar trebui mai multe persoane implicate în organizarea activității și chiar producerea de activitate în sine. Dacă sunteți interesat, există o politică publică care descrie cum puteți obține acest statut.

Sper că am reușit să vă răspund la criticile și recomandările dv. Dacă nu, aș fi foarte bucuros să încerc din nou.

Ca o părere personală, îmi displac complet persoanele care creează conturi false (sock puppets) pentru a da impresia de susținere a unor utlizatori care se află în varii conflicte. Numai bine! — KlaudiuMihăilă ^Mesaj 5 iunie 2017 12:56 (UTC)

Hello,

I’m sorry to write this message in English. Please help us translating the full message here!

Short version: Since yesterday, we are able to store the interwiki links of all the Wiktionaries namespaces (except main, citations, user and talk) in Wikidata. This will not break your Wiktionary, but if you want to use all the features, you will have to remove your sitelinks from wikitext and connect your pages to Wikidata.

Important: even if it is technically possible, you should not link Wiktionary main namespace pages from Wikidata. The interwiki links for them are already provided by Cognate.

Long version available and translatable here.

If you encounter any problem or find a bug, feel free to ping me.

Hello all,

A few months ago, we asked you for feedback about Cognate, the system allowing interwikilinks between Wiktionaries (on main namespace). Several community members gave some suggestions, one of them was to provide statistics about these interwikilinks.

The Wikidata team is pleased to present you the Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard, a website presenting a lot of interesting information about how Wiktionaries are connected to each others. You can find there, for example:

• the most interlinked Wiktionary entries not having a page on your Wiktionary
• the number of interlinks between each possible pair of Wiktionaries
• visualizations of the relationships between different Wiktionaries

To learn more about the tool, you can have a look at the documentation (please help us translating it in your language!). The interface of the tool itself can also be translated in other languages by using this page.

If you find a bug, please let a comment on this Phabricator task or ping me onwiki. Thanks a lot, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 14 august 2018 13:08 (UTC)

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

Please help translate to your language

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

Mulțumim!

O nouă caracteristică beta va fi lansată în curând pe toate wiki-urile: FileExporter. Acesta permite exportul de fișiere dintr-un wiki local la Wikimedia Commons, inclusiv istoricul fișierelor și istoricul paginilor. Ce fișiere pot fi exportate este definită de fiecare comunitate a wiki-ului: Verificați configurarea fișierului al wiki-ului dacă doriți să utilizați această caracteristică.

FileExporter a fost deja o caracteristică beta pe mediawiki.org, Meta-Wiki deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP și pe wikisource.org. După ce a fost adăugată o anumită funcționalitate, ea devine acum o caracteristică beta pe toate wiki-urile. Implementarea este planificată pentru data de 16 ianuarie. Mai multe informații pot fi găsite pe pagina proiectului.

Ca întotdeauna, feedback-ul este foarte apreciat. Dacă doriți să testați FileExporter, activați-l în preferințele dvs. de utilizator. Cel mai bun loc pentru feedback este pagina centrală de discuții. Vă mulțumim pentru proiectul Technical Wishes of Wikimedia Deutschland.

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Bună ziua. O politică privind retragerea „drepturilor suplimentare” (administrator, birocrat etc.) a fost adoptată prin consens global în 2013. Conform acestei politici, stewarzii revizuiesc activitatea administratorilor din toate proiectele wiki ale Fundației Wikimedia care nu au o politică de inactivitate. Din cunoștințele noastre, proiectul dumneavoastră wiki nu are un proces oficial pentru retragerea „drepturilor suplimentare” de la conturile inactive. Acest lucru înseamnă că stewarzii vor avea grijă de asta, în concordanță cu revizuirea achttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Button_link.pngtivității administratorilor.

Am determinat faptul că următorii utilizatori îndeplinesc criteriile de inactivitate (nicio editare şi nicio logare de peste 2 ani):

1. KlaudiuMihaila (birocrat, administrator)
2. KlaudiuBot (administrator)

Aceşti utilizatori vor primi curând o notificare prin care li se va cere să înceapă o discuţie în comunitate, dacă doresc să-şi păstreze câteva sau toate drepturile lor. Dacă utilizatorii nu răspund, atunci drepturile lor suplimentare vor fi retrase de către stewarzi.

Totuşi, dacă dumneavoastră ca şi comunitate doriţi să creaţi propriul proces de revizuire, înlocuindu-l pe cel global, doriţi să luaţi o altă decizie legată de deţinătorii inactivi ai acestor drepturi sau aveţi deja o politică în acest sens, pe care noi am scăpat-o din vedere, atunci vă rugăm să notificaţi stewarzii de pe Meta-Wiki, astfel încât să ştim să nu mergem mai departe cu revizuirea drepturilor pe proiectul dumneavoastră wiki. Mulţumim, --علاء (discuție) 7 ianuarie 2020 19:33 (UTC)

Salutare! Am primit notificarea echivalentă și pe pagina proprie de discuții. Aș vrea să păstrez în continuare drepturile de admin și birocrat pentru ca Robbie să nu fie singurul cu aceste drepturi pe acest wiki. Nu există o politică locală de revizuire a drepturilor adminilor, dar cred că este necesară existența a cel puțin două conturi cu aceste drepturi, ca măsură de backup. Pentru a putea păstra drepturile, conform celor de mai sus, este necesară o discuție în comunitate (nu prea numeroasă, din păcate) și o notificare a stewarzilor în cazul în care se decide că pot păstra drepturile. — KlaudiuMihăilă ^Mesaj 8 ianuarie 2020 18:52 (UTC)

@Robbie SWE: Aș aprecia foarte mult dacă ai putea să exprimi o opinie în acest sens. — KlaudiuMihăilă ^Mesaj 1 februarie 2020 11:00 (UTC)

Nu am nici-o obiecție contra păstrarea drepturilor tale de administrator și birocrat. Ești o persoana de încredere – un adevărat Wikipedist și Wikționarian – și, chiar dacă n-ai fost activ în ultimul timp, sunt convins că ai supravegheat cu atenție acest proiect. Wikționarul are nevoie de mai multe persoane capabile la volan și cu tine în echipa de administratori – când simți că poți și vrei să te întorci – proiectul este în mâini sigure. --Robbie SWE (discuție) 1 februarie 2020 17:59 (UTC)

@KlaudiuMihaila, Robbie SWE: So I do not remove permissions from KlaudiuMihaila, as well as from the bot, KlaudiuBot, since it's operated by Klaudiu. Einsbor (discuție) 13 februarie 2020 10:10 (UTC)

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

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 februarie 2020 14:15 (UTC)

Mă numesc Teodor Meșină, am 70 de ani, sunt scriitor, membru al Ligii Scriitorilor Români. Pe lângă romanele scrise și publicate, mă ocup și cu eseuri, poezie și articole. Am creat două genuri de poezie cu formă fixă, un Penteson și un Metavol. Am văzut că pe Wikipedia apar definițiile altor genuri de poezii, de exemplu:„Rondel” M-am gândit să adaug definiția Pentesonului, o explicație detaliată și cu un exemplu. Am fost înștiințat că a fost șterasă. Eu mă descurc mai greu cu informatica. Nu mă dirijați spre alte surse de informare. Puteți să-mi spuneți dumneavoastră de ce s-a șters postarea? Pot rămâne doar definițiile genurilor vechi de poezii cu forme fixe? Cele noi nu? Sau, care este cauza? De fapt, ce am voie să public? Vă mulțumesc. P.S. Vă rog, dacă nu vă deranjez prea mult, puteți să-mi răspundeți pe email? [email protected] Vă mulțumesc. (----)! ← Acest comentariu nesemnat a fost adăugat de Teo Meșină (discuție • contribuții).

Bună seara,

La meta.wikimedia.org are loc o dezbatere referitoare la propunerile de redenumire a Fundației Wikimedia din cadrul proiectului 2030 movement brand. În esență, este vorba de folosirea numelui „Wikipedia” în denumirea Fundației, în diferite variante și combinații. Un sondaj de opinie este în curs de desfășurare până la data de 7 iulie, prin care grupurile afiliate și membrii individuali ai comunităților sunt solicitați să-și exprime poziția față de aceste propuneri. La rândul lor, comunitățile au lansat mai multe consultări deschise care pot fi accesate pe paginile:

• m:Requests for comment/Should the Foundation call itself Wikipedia
• m:Talk:Communications/Wikimedia brands/2030 movement brand project/Community feedback and straw poll
• m:Community open letter on renaming

Dată fiind importanța deciziilor care vor fi luate în urma acestor consultări, este de dorit ca un număr cât mai mare de opinii să fie exprimate - și în mod special din partea celorlalte proiecte decât Wikipedia. --Pafsanias (discuție) 2 iulie 2020 18:43 (UTC)

Bună. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. Mulțumim!

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 iulie 2020 19:39 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

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. KlaudiuBot (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 (discuție) 7 februarie 2021 18:44 (UTC)

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.

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.

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 "Unelte de discuție" 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.

Bună. Am vrut să vă furnizez o actualizare despre proiectul Îmbunătățiri desktop, la care echipa Web de la Fundația Wikimedia lucrează încă de acum ultimii câțiva ani. Munca noastră este aproape finalizată! 🎉

Ne-ar plăcea să vedem că aceste îmbunătățiri devin implicite pentru cititorii și editorii de la toate wiki-urile. În următoarele săptămâni vom începe conversații pe mai multe wiki-uri, inclusiv pe cele ale dvs. 🗓️ Vom fi bucuroși să vă citim sugestiile!

Țelurile proiectului sunt ca interfața să fie mai primitoare și confortabilă pentru cititori și mai utilă pentru utilizatorii avansați. Proiectul constă într-o serie de îmbunătățiri ale funcțiilor ce fac mai ușoare lecturarea și învățarea, navigarea printr-o pagină, căutarea, comutarea între limbi, utilizarea filelor articolelor și a meniului de utilizator ș.a.m.d. Îmbunătățirile sunt deja disponibile în mod implicit pentru cititori și editori pe mai mult de 30 de wiki-uri, incluzând Wikipediile în franceză, portugheză și persană.

Schimbările se aplică exclusiv aspectului Vector. Utilizatorii de Monobook sau Timeless nu sunt afectați.

Cele mai noi funcții

• Cuprins - versiunea noastră este mai ușor de accesat, ajută la obținerea mai ușoară a contextului paginii și face mai ușoară navigarea prin pagină, fără a fi nevoie să derulați. Este actualmente testat pe wiki-urile noastre pilot. Este de asemenea disponibil pentru editorii care au activat aspectul Vector 2022.
• Unelte de pagină - acum există două tipuri de legături în bara laterală. Există acțiuni și unelte pentru pagini individuale (precum Schimbări corelate) și legături ce au legătură co tot wiki-ul (precum Schimbări recente). Le vom separa în două meniuri intuitive.

Cum să activați îmbunătățirile

• Este posibil să le activați individual din fila pentru aspect de la preferințe prin selectarea „Vector (2022)”. De asemena, este posibil să le activați pe toate wiki-urile utilizând preferințele globale.
• Pe wiki-urile unde schimbările sunt prezente implicit pentru toată lumea, utilizatorii autentificați pot trece mereu la Vector-ul moștenire. Există o legătură ușor accesabilă în bara laterală a noului Vector.

Aflați mai multe și alăturați-vă evenimentelor noastre

Dacă v-ar plăcea să monitorizați progresul proiectului nostru, vă puteți abona la newsletter-ul nostru. Puteți citi paginile proiectului, verifica FAQ-ul nostru, scrie pe pagina de discuție a proiectului și alătura unei întâlniri online cu noi.

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

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 Movement Strategy and Governance Team

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

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.

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.

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 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 septembrie 2022 04:15 (UTC)

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: [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:

• 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,

Mulțumim! Community Tech, STei (WMF) 15 decembrie 2022 16:44 (UTC)

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.

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

• A section of an article
•

• 
  Vector 2022

About the skin

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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. KlaudiuMihaila (bureaucrat , 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 octombrie 2024 11:29 (UTC)
