I agree. In fact, this is what I've been trying to do with my articles to avoid excessive repetition. It can also help enrich our language's vocabulary if we use words from other varieties of Standard Bikol as synonyms. Besides Naga, Standard Bikol also includes the varieties of Daet, Tabaco, Legazpi and northern Sorsogon. Since I come from Legazpi I often use "buda" in alternation with "asin".--

Pero bako ini boot sabihon na arogon ta naman na gayo idto, kundi uniko kaya an Bikol na lengguwahe. Minaiba ini sa paros nin panahon saka modernong porma nin pagtataram. Yaon na kita sa modernong porma nin Bikol sa ngonyan, ta si suanoy na Bikol na an espiling sa éspanyol pa. Siring baga kan "Bikol" ko, kumbinasyon na gayo kan mga simpleng pinagtataram nin tawo sa aro-aldaw na kombersasyon. Kun Ingles na estruktura an gagamiton, minauyon an Bikol sa tono kan dalagan sa panahon kan pagtataram. Minasayaw ini sa hiprayan nin kadahoman nin pagtaram....

Global AbuseFilter
baguhon an source
Hello,
AbuseFilter
is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013,
Global AbuseFilters
were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "
small wikis
". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "
medium sized wikis
" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing
request for comment
on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to
this list
on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on
this page
at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on
m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter
Thanks,

Hi everyone, Even I'm newbie here (joined february 8 2018), I want to run a position as a temporary admin, because I have noticed here that since 1 year ago, vadalism makes our wiki untrusted so I want to prevent or lessen the vandalism and also improve our bclwiki. Bikol Wikipedia is in need of an admin that understands the language, so I am applying for temp. adminship. I have do many things here in this wiki since I joined, like about the languages of Austronesian and Formosan, and now I make articles connected to the language of Austroasyatiko.
If you agree, just comment "

An editor since 2008, I guess it is high time to focus my attention on administrative matters, and not merely in writing articles and editing parts now and then, in this local and/or other language projects. Admin rights would certainly enhance my skills to effectively guard this project not only from facetious vandalism but from serious attacks on its integrity. Here's hoping this request would merit the
assent of our co-workers in our project. Of course, I also give my positive endorsement of

A volunteer since 2008, and having experienced all kinds of problems in editing and writing articles in Wikipedia, may I ask for your support in applying for administratorship in Bikol Wikipedia. I have met various forms of editorial problems in Wikipedia but since they require higher level of authority, I just ignore them. Hopefully, I can assist right on in improving the quality of our Wikipedia if vested with the proper tools. Thanks.

Hello everyone. Apologies if this message isn't in your language; please feel free to translate it. Last month we announced
the Boost initiative
to help wikis grow with translation. Although Central Bikol is not among the wikis we are focusing initially, there was interest from community members in how the initiative could help Central Bikol Wikipedia too. As an initial step, we have enabled
Content translation
by default on Central Bikol Wikipedia.
Now it is easy for users to discover the tool
through several entry points
. However, users not interested in translation can disable it
from their preferences
We expect this will help translators to create more content of good quality in Central Bikol. We’ll be monitoring
the statistics for Central Bikol
as well as
the list of articles created
with the tool. Content translation provides
quality control mechanisms
to prevent the abuse of machine translation and the limits can be adjusted based on the needs of each community. Please, feel free to share your impressions about the content created and how the tool works for the community. This feedback is essential to improve the tool to better support your needs.
Thanks!--

However, there are also articles that are not candidate for deletion if only it could be modified into a more concise and informative article. I hope I will still be given the chance to do this tasks as local administrator.

Proposal to enable an experimental open source machine translation system for Central Bikol
baguhon an source
Latest comment:
5 years ago
3 comments
3 people in discussion
Content translation
has been used already by many communities to translate
more than 700,000 Wikipedia articles
. We want to help communities with potential to grow by using translation more. We propose to enable experimental support for a basic machine translation system for Central Bikol within Content Translation. Over time, it can improve with the help of the community.
Background
baguhon an source
For some languages, Content translation offers Machine Translation as a starting point for users to edit and improve. In addition, the tool provides
mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content
, which prevent the publication of only lightly edited machine translations. As a result, the translations produced with the tool are
less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch
Unfortunately, Central Bikol is not supported by
any of the translation services currently integrated in the tool
such as Apertium, Google or Yandex. This requires editors to write their translations from scratch.
Proposal
baguhon an source
We want to propose the integration of
OpusMT
, an Open source Neural Machine Translation system that supports the English-Central Bikol language pair. You can try the translation engine
on this example website
(select "bcl" in the dropdown menu on the right side). Although the translation service is based on
MarianMT
, a powerful neural network system, the quality of the final translations heavily depends on the availability of translation data which is limited for Central Bikol at the moment. This means that:
The translation quality will be very low initially.
When using the translation service you should still expect that you'll have to rewrite most of the content. This may not be an extra effort compared to the current situation, given that users have to write their translations from scratch since there is no alternative machine translation system available.
Quality will improve over time as more articles are translated.
Each translation created with Content Translation (using machine translation or from scratch) will contribute to the global corpus of translation examples used by the system. Thus, the more translations are created with the tool, the better the machine translation service will become.
We believe that this approach will help the less-supported languages over time. We want to check if this plan sounds good to the Central Bikol community, and encourage Central Bikol editors to
translate Wikipedia articles with the tool
. In this way, your translations not only help expand the knowledge available in your language, but also become a way to improve the free machine translation service that can be used inside and outside Wikipedia.
Note that the usage of OpusMT machine translation is optional and editors are free to translate without using such services.
Impact
baguhon an source
On Central Bikol Wikipedia, more than 350 articles have been created with Content Translation since 2015 (compared to
more than 6,000 articles created from scratch in the same period
). So we don’t expect a high volume of new content as an immediate result of this experiment. In any case, we want to encourage editors to
report any issues
they find with the tool while creating or reviewing translations.
In order to make sure that the content created using the new machine translation system results in a productive contribution, we’ll keep track of
the translations created with the tool
and their deletion ratios. In addition, we’ll set stricter
limits on machine translation
to enforce more intensive editing of the initial low quality machine translation.
We want to make sure the expectations are clear before enabling the new system. Please share your questions and your thoughts on the idea. We’ll proceed only if there are no major concerns from the community.
Thanks! --

Hi
Amir E. Aharoni (WMF)
! We badly need this for Bikol Wikipedia. We have been using Content Translation but since there is no Central Bikol in Google Translate we translate manually. Having an open source machine translation system is better than translating manually. I personally welcome this development not just for Bikol Wikipedia but for smaller Wikipedias as well. --

Wikipedia Philippine Month
or simply
Wikipedia PH Month
is a monthly editing activity inspired by
Wikipedia Asian Month
. It aims to bridge knowledge gaps on Philippine content in Philippine language editions of Wikipedia and beyond. The participating community is not limited to the Philippines and is open to all Wikipedia editions! This activity also aims to encourage collaboration among Filipino contributors within the archipelago and in the diaspora, and create linkages among Filipino and non-Filipino contributors who support the main objective.
How to Participate in the Activity
baguhon an source
As an Editor
Find the language edition of Wikipedia you would like to build on.
Register an account if you have not done so.
Choose articles about the Topic of the Month, but NOT from YOUR NATIVE LOCALITY, and start creating or improving articles.
Write in the summary box the hashtag
#WikiPHmonth
before saving your work.
As an Organizer
Set up and run the contest on a local level within your language community. (e.g.
bcl:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Philippine Month 2021
If your local Wikipedia is already participating, ask if you can help judge articles if you are interested.
Engage local editors and aim for maximum participation.
Organize online and offline events for contest promotion and increase in participation.
If you have expertise or skills in
public relations
, then you can help us get media coverage.

Traditional homelands of the
indigenous peoples of the Philippines
Each participating local Wikipedia community runs a monthly online edit-a-thon, which promotes the creation or improvement of the Wikipedia content about a particular group or
groups of people in the Philippines
and the region they represent.
JANUARY
- The
Visayans
(Region VI, Region VII, Region VIII, Romblon) are a metaethnicity race native to the whole
Visayas
, to the southernmost islands of Luzon (MIMAROPA Region and Masbate) and the northern and eastern coastal parts of Mindanao. They are speakers of one or more Visayan languages, the most widely spoken being
Cebuano, Hiligaynon
and
Waray-Waray
. They comprise the largest ethnic group in the nation.
February
- Wiki Loves Love; Chinese New Year -
Filipino-Chinese heritage
March
- WikiGap; Women's Month -
Filipina
APRIL
- The
Tagalogs
(NCR, Region IV-A, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Marinduque) are the most widespread ethnic group in the Philippines. They predominate the entirety of the
Manila
and mainland
southern Luzon regions
, with a plurality in
Central Luzon
(mainly in its southeastern portion, as well as parts of Zambales and Bataan provinces except for Pampanga and Tarlac) and coastal parts of Mindoro. The Tagalog language was chosen as an official language of the Philippines in 1935. Today, Filipino, a de facto version of Tagalog, is taught throughout the archipelago.
MAY
- Heritage Month -
Highland Ethnolinguistic Nations
(Cordilleras),
Mangyan
(in central Mindoro island),
Suludnon
(in central Panay island, and
Negritos
(in remote areas throughout Luzon, Panay, Negros islands, and Mindanao). The
Igorots/Cordillerans
live in the highlands of Luzon. They are primarily located in the
Cordillera Administrative Region
, Caraballo Mountains, and Sierra Madre.
Mangyan
is the generic name for the eight indigenous groups found on the island of Mindoro, southwest of the island of Luzon in the Philippines, each with its own tribal name, language, and customs. They occupy nearly the whole of the interior of the island of Mindoro. The
Negrito
are several Australo-Melanesian groups who inhabit isolated parts of Southeast Asia. They all live in remote areas throughout the islands in the Philippines. The
Suludnon
, also known as the Tumandok, Sulod, Panay-Bukidnon, or Panayanon Sulud, are an indigenous Visayan group of people who reside in the Capiz-Lambunao mountainous area and the Antique-Iloilo mountain area of central Panay in the Visayan islands of the Philippines.
June

Filipino-Spanish heritage
JULY
- The
Ilocanos
and minorities in
Lowland Ethnolinguistic Nations
in
Cagayan Valley Region
(Region I, Region II) are predominantly Christian group who reside within the lowlands and coastal areas of
northwestern Luzon
. Other Ilocanos are also found in Cordillera Administrative Region and Cagayan Valley. The
Ivatan
(also spelled as Ibatan) are the predominant ethnolinguistic group in the
Batanes
islands of the Philippines. They have close cultural links with the Taiwanese aborigines, especially the Yami/Tao people of Orchid Island under jurisdiction of Taiwan. The
Ibanags
are a predominantly Christian lowland ethnic group numbering around half a million people and who primarily inhabit the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela in the Cagayan Valley of northern Luzon. The
Itawes
/Itawis/Itawit are among the earliest inhabitants of the
Cagayan Valley
in northern Luzon. The
Gaddang
number about 25,000. They are known to have inhabited the upper Cagayan Valley and the Magat valley below Aritao in Nueva Vizcaya and in
Isabela
since before the Spanish arrived.
AUGUST
- Indigenous Month -
Highland Ethnolinguistic Nations
(Tribal Palaweño, and Lumad) and
Lowland Ethnolinguistic Nations
Bangsamoro
). The
peoples and tribes of Palawan
are a diverse group of both indigenous tribes and lowland groups that historically migrated to the island of Palawan and its outlying islands. The
Lumad
are the un-Islamized and un-Christianized indigenous Austronesian peoples of Mindanao. They include several ethnolinguistic nations such as the Manobo, the Tasaday, the Mamanwa, the Mandaya, the B'laan, the T'boli, and the Kalagan. They primarily inhabit the eastern parts of Mindanao such as the Caraga, and Davao Regions. The collective term
Moro
or Bangsamoro people refers to the, at least 13, islamicized ethnolinguistic groups of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan. The Muslim Moros originally had a few independent states such as the Maguindanao Sultanate, the Lanao Sultanates, and the Sulu Sultanate. The Sultanate of Sulu once exercised sovereignty over the present day provinces of Basilan, Palawan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, the eastern part of the Malaysian state of Sabah (formerly North Borneo) and North Kalimantan in Indonesia.
SEPTEMBER
- The
Bikolanos
and
Masbateños
(Region V) are a predominantly Roman Catholic ethnic group that originates from the Bicol Region in Southern Luzon. They are the fifth-largest ethnolinguistic group in the Philippines.
Masbateños
live in Masbate province of the Philippines. Masbateños may be considered Visayans by language but are Bicolanos by region.
OCTOBER
- The
Pangasinan
and
Bolinaos
(Pangasinan) are the eighth-largest ethnolinguistic group in the Philippines. They predominate in the northwestern portion of Central Luzon (entire Pangasinan, northern Tarlac, northwestern Nueva Ecija and northern Zambales), as well as southwestern parts of La Union and Benguet. The
Bolinao
people live in Bolinao and Anda, Pangasinan. They speak the Bolinao language or Binubolinao, which is the second most widely spoken Sambalic language in Pangasinan (after Sambal).
November
- Wikipedia Asian Month -
Asian Heritage
DECEMBER
- The
Kapampangans
and
Sambals
(Pampanga, Zambales, Tarlac) are the seventh-largest ethnic group in the Philippines. They primarily use the Kapampangan language, which is spoken by more than 1.4 million individuals. The
Sambals
are the inhabitants of the province of Zambales, including the independent city of Olongapo. They are also found in the municipalities of Bolinao and Anda in northwestern Pangasinan. Sambals currently make up a large proportion of the population in the Zambales municipalities of north of Iba, the provincial capital. Their language, Sambal, is related to Kapampangan.

Hi
JWilz12345
, this was uploaded way back 2009 when the BCL wiki was just starting I think. The editor may have forgotten that there's already an uploaded file on Wiki Commons. Do we request for it to be deleted or do just leave it as it is? I am not really particular as to how duplicate images on Commons are managed.

User:Kunokuno
(I hope your wiki also has local version of
en:Template:Ping
), using enwiki policy (
en:WP:F8
), files that are identical copies on Commons are eligible for speedy deletion, as long as the file details and licensing are still intact on Commons, and the Commons file is of superior quality (e.g. higher resolution) than the local one. I don't know if your wiki has the same policy. One benefit of hosting files at Commons is that these can be used at different wikis too (unlike local files here which can only be used here locally).
One condition is that files must be 100% freely-licensed. Also, there may be
no freedom of panorama issue
as we currently do not have this privilege in
our copyright law
that permits free culture
and
commercial uses, distributions, and publications of images of recent public works (e.g. monuments and architecture) without the need of licensing permissions from the people who
designed
those public works (architects, sculptors, muralists, etc.).
What is only allowed on Commons
as of today
are buildings completed before December 15, 1972 (subject to an old law that didn't protect finished architecture, as Presidential Decree 49/Republic Act 8293 are not retroactive), and other buildings and monuments (statues, sculptures etc.) whose designers have been dead for more than 50 years.

I would like to request for another term of adminship. I was able to delete some vandalisms within the last few months and block abusive IPs. Also, I am attending the
Identifying and Addressing Harassment Online course

Hello there,
We are inviting you to participate in
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021
, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2021.
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We’d be glad for you to reply to this message, or sign up directly at
WPWP Participating Communities
Please feel free to contact
Organizing Team
if you have any query.

contributions
thinking that I may have missed something on what you stated but it was a bit awkward seeing that your last edit on BCL Wikipedia was way back 2019, and your next edit will be your comment on my statement. Maybe, that's the reason you never see any activity of me here. There is also
30 edits
from you here in BCL Wikipedia but I would be willing to assist you if you'd want to learn more the language. Yes, I admit that I often edit and even created articles on TL Wikipedia but I don't notice you
hanging out very often on Tagalog Wikipedia

Hello all. I've deleted close (GS action) to 300 pages as they were created by a cross-wiki long-term abuser. The IP(s) created pages that are essentially empty. After deleting, I came across more pages that were created by
User:Filipinayzd
. I suggest deleting them if there is no substantial content other then headers and "An XXXX sarong taon sa Gregoryanong kalendaryo."

Dear Wikimedians,
We are reaching out to you today regarding the
2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
. This election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues with SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we plan to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after Wikimania concludes.
For information on the technical issues, you can see the
Phabricator ticket
We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and the candidates to coordinate next steps. We will update the
Board election Talk page
and
Telegram channel
as we know more.

Marhay na Aldaw, Bikol Wikipedia Community!
The
Portal:Siyensya
page is now up here in Bikol Wikipedia. Thanks to
WikiProyekto Siyensya
which paves way for the mass creations of scientific articles here in Bikol Wikipedia for the past few months.
The portal is open for suggestions and comments, especially that the page is identified as an "article" instead of a "portal" unlike the other Wikipedia language editions. It seems that the "portal" feature is still not available here in Bikol Wikipedia. If it is available, please inform me ASAP so that I can move the given page.
Mabalos!

This is a short message with an update from the Movement Charter process. The call for candidates for the Drafting Committee closed September 14, and we got a diverse range of candidates. The committee will consist of 15 members, and those will be (s)elected via three different ways.
The 15 member committee will be selected with a
3-step process
Election process for project communities to elect 7 members of the committee.
Selection process for affiliates to select 6 members of the committee.
Wikimedia Foundation process to appoint 2 members of the committee.
The community elections will take place between October 11 and October 24. The other process will take place in parallel, so that all processes will be concluded by November 1.

Request for Renewal of Administrator Access
baguhon an source
Good Day!
I would like to apply for the renewal of my administrator access in Bikol Wikipedia. As an administrator, I formalized my vision for Bikol Wikipedia through the WikiProyekto project which I believe had contributed significant impact to the local community. As a result, diversity on the featured topics is now more evident from the field of science to the arts.
As an editor, I am active in the creation of new Articles especially these past few months. Aside from the Articles, I am also active creating Non-articles like Redirects, Templates, and Talk pages. I also initiated the publishing and design of Portal pages in Bikol Wikipedia which were connected to the Main Page. I also actively participated to various projects and edit-a-thons organized by other editors from the Bikol community.
With regards to special administrator actions, I have done multiple blocking of user accounts or IP addresses which tries to contribute unwanted information to the local wikipedia. Deletion of articles through spam were also done whenever opportunity comes.
If ever granted the administrator access again: (1) I will ensure the balance which were currently observed in the continuous increase of the Number of articles and Depth of Bikol Wikipedia (2) I can help the current administrators again in monitoring of edits (3) I will create more WikiProjects to promote diversity of featured topics in Bikol Wikipedia.
Thank you!

Thank you for your continued comments and ideas on the Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines. Your responses have helped to build a stronger Universal Code of Conduct.
If you have not already provided your comments, now is the time as the drafting committee has been
meeting to update the enforcement guidelines
. The drafting committee wants to consider all comments as they make their updates. Please submit any comments by the end of November. The Committee hopes to finish its revisions before the end of the year, and the revised guidelines will be published as soon as they have been completed.
The next steps for the Universal Code of Conduct include conversations about ratification of the enforcement guidelines. There will be
a conversation about ratification on November 29
The Wikimedia Foundation will make recommendations to the Board of Trustees about the ratification of the guidelines in December. The recommendations will inform the next steps in the Universal Code of Conduct process.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

Please help translate to your language
The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.
While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:
What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
What involvement should candidates have during the election?
While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.
Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?
Contact the
Movement Strategy and Governance team
on Meta, on
Telegram
, or via email at msg
wikimedia.org.
Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

The
Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections
is now open and will close on
7 February 2022
With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.
There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:
What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates?
The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.
What are the expectations for the candidates during the election?
Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?
There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.
Join the conversation.
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Additional question to the Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections
baguhon an source
Latest comment:

Dear ESEAP project communities,
I am reaching out to you today about an additional question to the Call for Feedback about Board of Trustees elections that I posted above. The Board has approved an additional question which we seek feedback to:
How should affiliates participate in the elections?
Affiliates are an important part of the Wikimedia movement. Two seats of the Board of Trustees due to be filled this year were filled in 2019 through the Affiliate-selected Board seats process.
A change in the Bylaws removed the distinction between community and affiliate seats
. This leaves the important question: How should affiliates be involved in the selection of new seats?
The Board of Trustees is seeking feedback about this last question especially, although not solely, from the affiliate community. Everyone is invited to share proposals and join the conversation in the Call for Feedback channels. In addition to collecting online feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team will organize several video calls with affiliate members to collect feedback. These calls will be at different times and include Trustees.
On behalf of the Movement Strategy and Governance team,
RamzyM (WMF)

Hello everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a
statement on the ratification process
for the
Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines
The
Universal Code of Conduct
(UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by
volunteer-staff drafting committees
following community consultations.
The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a
list of changes made
to the guidelines after the
enforcement draft guidelines review
Comments about the guidelines can be shared
on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki
To help to understand the guidelines and process, the
Movement Strategy and Governance
(MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC.
Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process
The
timeline is available on Meta-wiki
. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why.
See the voting information page for more details
Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.
Sincerely,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

Hello!
The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (
read the report
), but we're not finished yet.
Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (
see Hubs Dialogue
). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.
The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us.

Hello
Central Bikol Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in Bikol language,
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language team
is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the
Section translation
tool in Central Bikol Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:
Give us your feedback
Ask us questions
Tell us how to improve it.
Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.
Background information
Content Translation
has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and help us with feedback to make it better.
Section Translation
extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:
Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.
Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.
Central Bikol Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since data shows significant mobile editing activity.
We plan to enable the tool on Central Bikol Wikipedia in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community.
After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:
As a reply to this message
On
the project talk page
Try the tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in
our testing instance
. Once it is enabled on Central Bikol Wikipedia, you’ll have access to
with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.
Provide feedback
Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:
The tool
What you think about our plans to enable it
Your ideas for improving the tool.
Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback and questions.

Hello @
Filipinayzd
! Count me in for this. Hopefully, the incoming celebration will bring more awareness to Bikol Wikipedia among the Bicolanos e.g. the role of Bikol Wikipedia as a representation of the Bicol language and culture in the World Wide Web.
With regards to the activities, Seminars, Talks, and Edit-a-thons are some of the possible events. The biggest event which could possibly be the flagship event of the annual Bikol Wikipedia Day is an Editing Competition. Division of the competition could be between the Regular Editors, Rookie Editors, Academe (Tertiary and Secondary), etc.
Thank you!

Thanks for the update. I also received an email about a Google Meeting for the celebration of the anniversary. Also, at this rate, my estimate on the target 15,000 articles is that it will be reached 2-4 years from now. We are only averaging about 100 new articles per month, but still the only thing we can do is to have the best effort in attaining the goal...

Next steps: Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) and UCoC Enforcement Guidelines

The Community Affairs Committee of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees would like to thank everyone who participated in the recently concluded community vote on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC).
The volunteer scrutinizing group has completed the review of the accuracy of the vote and has reported the total number of votes received as 2,283. Out of the 2,283 votes received, a total of 1,338 (58.6%) community members voted for the enforcement guidelines, and a total of 945 (41.4%) community members voted against it. In addition, 658 participants left comments with 77% of the comments written in English.
We recognize and appreciate the passion and commitment that community members have demonstrated in creating a safe and welcoming culture that stops hostile and toxic behavior, supports people targeted by such behavior, and encourages good faith people to be productive on the Wikimedia projects.
Even at this incomplete stage, this is evident in the comments received. While the Enforcement Guidelines did reach a threshold of support necessary for the Board to review, we encouraged voters, regardless of which way they were voting, to provide feedback on the elements of the enforcement guidelines that they felt needed to be changed or fixed, as well as why, in case it seemed advisable to launch a further round of edits that would address community concerns.
Foundation staff who have been reviewing comments have advised us of some of the emerging themes, and as a result we have decided as Community Affairs Committee to ask the Foundation to reconvene the drafting committee and to undertake another community engagement to refine the enforcement guidelines based on the community feedback received from the recently concluded vote.
For clarity, this feedback has been clustered into 4 sections as follows:
To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the training;
To simplify the language for easier translation and comprehension by non-experts;
To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
To review the conflicting roles of privacy/victim protection and right to be heard.
Other issues may emerge during conversations, and particularly as the draft Enforcement Guidelines evolve, but we see these as the primary areas of concern for voters and are asking staff to facilitate review of these issues. After further engagement, the Foundation should re-run the community vote to evaluate the revamped Enforcement Outline to see if the new document is then ready for its official ratification.
Further, we are aware of the concerns with the note 3.1 in the Universal Code of Conduct Policy. We are directing the Foundation to facilitate a review of this language to ensure that the Policy meets its intended purposes of supporting a safe and inclusive community, without waiting for the planned review of the entire Policy at the end of year.
Again, we thank all who participated, thinking about these critical and difficult challenges and contributing to better approaches across the movement to working together well.
Best,
Rosie

Call for volunteers: 2022 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election

The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.
The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.
But a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help change the participation?
Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions
Volunteers should:
Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner
Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up

to receive updates. You can use the
talk page
for questions about translation.

Hello all,
I’d like to share an update on the work on the
Enforcement Guidelines
for the
Universal Code of Conduct
(UCoC):
see full announcement
In May 2022, the
UCoC project team
completed a report on the
2022 March ratification vote
about the Guidelines. Voters cast votes from at least 137 communities, and at least 650 voters added comments with their vote.
The report is available on
Meta-Wiki
Following the vote, the
Community Affairs Committee
(CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
asked
that several areas of the Guidelines be reviewed for improvements. A
Revisions Committee
will refine it based on community feedback.
see full announcement
In order to help the Revisions Committee, input from the community is requested. You can visit the discussions below:
Discussions related to revisions of the Enforcement Guidelines
Discussions related to revision of the UCoC policy text
Please let me know if you have any questions about these next steps.
On behalf of the UCoC Project team,

Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to inform you that the 2022 edition of Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign is coming up in July.
This is a formal invitation to invite individuals and communities to join the campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and contextual images.
The campaign will run from July 1 to August 31, 2022 and several communities and Wikimedia Affiliates have already indicated interest to organize the campaign in their localities. Please find your community or community closer to you to participate:
WPWP2022 Campaign: Participating Communities
The campaign primarily aims to promote using images from Wikimedia Commons to enrich Wikipedia articles that are lacking them. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years. In this third edition of the campaign, eligibility criteria have been revised based on feedback and campaign Evaluation Reports of the previous editions. Please find more
details about these changes and our FAQ here on Meta-Wiki

Hi all,
Volunteers in the
2022 Board of Trustees election
are invited to
vote for statements to use in the Election Compass
. You can vote for the statements you would like to see included in the Election Compass on Meta-wiki.
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: Volunteers 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

Marhay na Aldaw, Bikol Wikipedia Community!
I just want to inform you that Bikol Wikipedia finally surpassed Depth of 20.0.
As of posting,
Articles = 12,258; Non-articles = 20,600; Total Edits = 233,228;
which translates into a Depth of
20.05
This is mainly with Bikol Wikipedia as the main recipient of the pilot project of
WikiDepth Project
. This project was organized by members of the
Philippine Wikimedia Community (PH-WC)
Let's keep on editing and aside from creating articles, we can also create supplementary non-articles related to it.

Hello Sir @
Ringer
A fellow Filipino Wikipedian and an administrator at Tagalog Wikipedia identified articles in Bikol Wikipedia which were believed to be hoax. And as a current administrator, I chose to delete those articles. These articles were about the unverified radio stations which were created by an unidentified I.P. user. Based on my count, about 25 articles were recently deleted. The deletion of those articles contributed to the jump in the Depth of Bikol Wikipedia which is reflective on the quality rather than quantity of the project...
Thank you!

Hi all,
I am reaching out to you today with an update about the timing of the voting for the Board of Trustees election.
As many of you are already aware, this year we are offering an
Election Compass
to help voters identify the alignment of candidates on some key topics. Several candidates requested an extension of the character limitation on their responses expanding on their positions, and the Elections Committee felt their reasoning was consistent with the goals of a fair and equitable election process.
To ensure that the longer statements can be translated in time for the election, the Elections Committee and Board Selection Task Force decided to delay the opening of the Board of Trustees election by one week - a time proposed as ideal by staff working to support the election.
Although it is not expected that everyone will want to use the Election Compass to inform their voting decision, the Elections Committee felt it was more appropriate to open the voting period with essential translations for community members across languages to use if they wish to make this important decision.
The voting will open on August 23 at 00:00 UTC and close on September 6 at 23:59 UTC.
Best regards,
Matanya, on behalf of the Elections Committee

Hello everyone,
The
Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee
is requesting comments regarding the
Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
. This review period will be open from
8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:
To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by
8 October 2022
. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.
Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta
, and a
comparison page in some languages.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on
the Revised Enforcement Guidelines talk page
. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are a series of
conversation hours
planned about the Revised Enforcement Guidelines; please see Meta for the times and details.
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published
here

Dear Wikimedians,
Thank you for participating in the review of the
Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
. The UCoC project team and the
UCoC Enforcement Guidelines Revisions Committee
appreciate you all taking the time to discuss the guidelines, suggest changes, and ask questions.
This community review period lasted from 8 September 2022 to 8 October 2022.
Over the past four weeks, the UCoC project team has collected valuable community input from various channels, including three
conversation hours sessions
, where Wikimedians could get together to discuss the revised UCoC Enforcement Guidelines.
The Revisions Committee will review community input when they reconvene in the second week of October 2022. The UCoC project team will support them in providing updates as they continue their work and will continue to inform the community about all important developments and milestones as the Committee prepares the final version of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines that is currently scheduled for a community-wide vote in mid-January of 2023.

Good Day!
I want to inform you that my administrator access will expire this coming November 5, 2022. With this, I would like to reapply as an Administrator of Bikol Wikipedia especially that currently I am the only one who administer this Wikipedia edition.
If given the chance to prolong my administrator access; (1) I will ensure to balance the increase between the No. of Articles and Depth, (2) random editing of articles will be performed and promoted, (3) and will continuously monitor the edits and perform administrator duties like deleting pages, blocking users, etc. whenever necessary.
Thank you!

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions
baguhon an source
Latest comment:

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.
Latin America/North America/ Western Europe
: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (
your local time
). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the
Meta page
you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become
Movement Charter Ambassadors
(MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages.
Regional facilitators
from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up
here
. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.

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

Hi everyone,
On behalf of the
Movement Charter Drafting Committee
(MCDC), we would like to thank everyone who has participated in our first
community wide consultation period
on the Movement Charter.
People from across the Movement shared their feedback and thoughts on the content of the
Movement Charter
. If you have not had the chance to share your opinion yet, you are welcome to do so still by
giving the drafts a read
and filling out the
anonymous survey
, which is accessible in 12+ languages. The survey will close on
January 2, 2023
. You are invited to continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email too: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.
What’s next?
The
Movement Strategy and Governance team
will publish the final report with the summary of the feedback received in January 2023. It will be shared with the MCDC and the communities via different distribution channels.
After receiving the final report, the MCDC will review the suggestions and communicate the changes by providing an explanation on how and why suggestions were or were not adopted in the next versions of the drafts. There will be additional ways to engage with the Movement Charter content in 2023, including early feedback on a proposed ratification process and new drafts of different chapters in the second quarter of 2023.
We invite you to sign-up to the
MCDC monthly newsletter
, it will be delivered to the Talk page of your choice.
Monthly updates
are available on Meta to remain updated on the progress of the MCDC.
Interested people can still sign-up to become a
Movement Charter Ambassador
(MC Ambassador) to support their community. The MC Ambassadors Program grant program will restart accepting applications from both individuals and groups ahead of the next round of consultations in the second quarter of 2023.
We thank you for your participation, time and effort in helping to build the Charter for our Movement!

Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the
Enforcement Guidelines
for the
Universal Code of Conduct
will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows
the March 2022 vote
, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s
Community Affairs Committee
requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led
Revisions Committee
worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed
here
, and a comparison of changes can be found
here
How to vote?
Beginning
January 17, 2023
, voting will be open.
This page on Meta-wiki
outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The
eligibility requirements
for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

Hello everyone,
Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department
is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
The Terms of Use (ToU)
are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.
This update comes in response to several things:
Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct
Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license
Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing
Bringing our terms in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act
As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held, the first on March 2, the second on April 4.
For further information, please consult:

The
Wikimedia Foundation
tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on
1 March
. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in
MediaWiki
, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on
Wednesday 1 March 2023
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects
Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
GitLab
will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can
read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens.
Please share this information with your community.

Wikimedia Foundation’s 2023-2024 Annual Plan and Upcoming Community Conversations

The main purpose of this message is to share with you the
draft annual plan
of the Wikimedia Foundation for the coming fiscal year from July 2023 to June 2024. The summary of the annual plan is available in multiple languages.
Some Excerpts from the Annual Plan Draft
The Wikimedia Foundation has remained in a period of transition. It welcomed new leadership last year, including a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product and Technology Officer. Additionally, the Foundation has navigated conversations with global communities on a range of important issues, from a future charter defining roles and responsibilities, to how we raise shared resources through banner fundraising. This year's Annual Plan attempts to provide more clarity on multi-year strategic issues that do not have quick fixes, and more detailed information on how the Foundation operates.
For the second consecutive year, the Wikimedia Foundation is anchoring its annual plan in the movement's strategy to
advance equity
. The intention is to connect the Foundation's work even more deeply with the
Movement Strategy Recommendations
to make even deeper progress towards the
2030 Strategic Direction
. This year, the Foundation is recentering its plan around
Product and Technology
, emphasizing our unique role as a platform for people and communities collaborating on a massive scale. If you are interested to learn more, you can find detailed information on
this meta page
Requesting Your Feedback
Your feedback is highly appreciated, whether being on
Meta discussion page
or sharing at your local discussion space. Your comments and reflections will help improve the proposal before the Foundation’s Board of Trustees considers the plan and budget in their June meeting.
Community Conversations
Everyone is also invited to participate in the
virtual conversation on 30th April 2023 at 6am UTC
(check your
local time here
), which is planned for participants from the Asia Pacific timezone. Kindly see the
Diff calendar here
Lisa Seitz Gruwell
, Chief Advancement Officer and Deputy to the Chief Executive Officer will be joining the call to share more and learn about your thoughts. You can find the information relating to virtual conversations on the
collaboration page
. We look forward to seeing you in the upcoming conversation!

Hello,
As follow-up to
the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines
by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
Community members in good standing
Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either
sign up on the Meta-Wiki page
, or contact ucocproject
wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023.

Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to inform you that the 2023 edition of Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign is coming up in July.
This is a formal invitation to invite individuals and communities to join the campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and other relevant media files.
If you're interested in participating, please find your community or community closer to you to participate from the
Participating Communities
page. If you're organizer, please add your community or Affiliate to the page.
The campaign primarily aims to promote using images from Wikimedia Commons to enrich Wikipedia articles. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years. In this edition of the campaign, eligibility criteria have been revised based on feedback and campaign Evaluation Reports of the previous editions. Please find more
details about these changes and our FAQ on Meta-Wiki
For more information, please visit the
campaign page on Meta-Wiki
Kind regards,
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos International Team.

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:

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

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to

and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this

Otherwise, the Community that intends to participate must be endorsed by an ESEAP Affiliate. Note: an Affiliate can endorse only one (1) Community from their country/region.
A Community intending to nominate a candidate to the Council must be their member in good standing.
Each Community that has successfully registered as a voter may vote for a maximum of 3 candidates; one of these candidates may include their own.
A Community voting twice for the same candidate will nullify their entire cast of votes.

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

A volunteer since 2008, and having experienced all kinds of problems in editing and writing articles in Wikipedia, may I ask for your support in applying for administratorship in Bikol Wikipedia. I have met various forms of editorial problems in Wikipedia but since they require higher level of authority, I just ignore them. Hopefully, I can assist right on in improving the quality of our Wikipedia if vested with the proper tools. Thanks.

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2024
writing competition from February 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a
Wiki Loves Folklore
gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
Set up a campaign on
CampWiz
tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
Request local admins for site notice.
Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the
meta project page
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the
Article List Generator by Topic
and
CampWiz
. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.
Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our
project page
. Feel free to contact us on our
meta talk page
or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

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

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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 [1]. 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 [2]. 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 [3]. 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 [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
June-August 2024: Campaign period
End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated
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
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak
(Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5] 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 all,
The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can
sign up on this wiki page
This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.
Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and
add agenda items to the document here
We look forward to your participation!

Dear community members,
We are inviting you to participate in the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024 campaign, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation your language Wikipedia. We’d be glad for you to sign up directly at
WPWP Participating Communities page
on Meta-Wiki.
Thank you,

Plans to enable MinT for Wiki readers in Central Bikol Wikipedia

Hello
Central Bikol Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language team
has been working on
MinT for Wiki Readers
. This feature will allow communities to access more content that is only available in other languages with machine translation in Wikipedia. We will be enabling the initial version of this feature first in Igbo Wikipedia, and your Wikipedia is the next to test and have this feature since it will be beneficial for reading content in other languages. For this, our team would like you to read about the feature and
test it
so you can:
Ask us questions
Tell us how to improve the feature
Give us your feedback on enabling it in your Wikipedia
About the feature
The MinT for Wiki Readers is a feature that will allow readers of Central Bikol Wikipedia to expand their reading options and knowledge beyond the language they are familiar with in Wikipedia. For instance, if someone is interested in a topic or content that only exists in the Japanese language and the person is not familiar with the language. While using the mobile web version of Wikipedia, the reader can access the machine translation version of that content in the Central Bikol language from the language selector or the article's footer (as shown in the media files below).
These machine-generated translations of content are clearly identified as such, and the human-created content is surfaced and recommended if available.
This feature is in its initial development. It is an early and functional version, and many aspects will be improved based on your community member's feedback on what works and what can be improved to better support your needs as readers.
How to try the tool
Before we enable this feature in your Wikipedia by the 26th June 2024, we invite members of your community to try MinT for Wiki Readers in your Wikipedia at
Special:AutomaticTranslation
and give us early feedback in this thread or on
this talk page
. Our team would like to know your impression on:
How do you use the feature
Anything we should consider for our plans to enable it?
Your ideas for improving it.
We greatly appreciate your time and effort in testing this tool. We eagerly look forward to your valuable feedback and questions, which will be instrumental in the further development of this feature. Thank you.

Cleaning up files

Hello!
All files must have a valid license. Any file without a license should be deleted.
The official policy is
wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy
and according to this files should either have a free license like
c:Template:Cc-by-sa-4.0
or meet the requirements of fair use. If bcl.wiki would like to use fair use you need an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP). See lists at
m:Non-free content
and an example see
en:Wikipedia:Non-free content
Many of the files are uploaded by
Paragamit:Ringer
and
Paragamit:Filipinayzd
that are still active. So if any of the files are own work it is easy to fix. All that needs to be done is that there is a statement like "I'm the photographer/creator of the file(s)" and a statement of a free license like Cc-by-sa-4.0.
The statement should be added to all the files. It is easy to do with a bot.
If the files are non-free you need an EDP and a license template like
en:Template:Non-free logo
. That can also be added with a bot.
A good place to start could be at
Espesyal:UnusedFiles
. Unused files can probably just be deleted. But if they are good and uploader is still active they can be moved to Commons if a valid license is added.
Please ping me if you have questions. --

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:

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

Hello
Central Bikol Wikipedians!
Apologies, as this message is not in your language,
Please help translate to your language
Google Translate just introduced machine translation support in Bikol language. However, Google uses code
bik
for Bikol while Wikipedia uses
bcl
for Central Bikol, so it is unclear if the variant supported by Google could be useful for your community. Therefore, the WMF Language and Product Localisation team wants to know from members of the Central Bikol Wikipedia community if this variant is helpful for your translation work. For this, my team would like you to:
Try the machine translation support
at
. You can paste multiple pieces of content from different Wikipedia articles and check whether the provided result is the correct variant for your language.
Provide us with specific feedback on the machine translation quality. Let us know if the translations are accurate, maintain the original meaning, are grammatically correct, and if they are suitable for your Wikipedia.
Our plans to enable the machine translation support
If the machine translation is the correct variant, and there are no objections to having translation support. We will deploy it once the support is available in the external APIs.
We look forward to your feedback in this thread, as we need to be sure we will be providing a helpful support service for your translation work. Thank you!

Hello @
UOzurumba (WMF)
The machine translation can translate into English and other Philippine languages the following Bikol variants/languages with varying accuracy in each variant/language: Central Bikol [bcl], Rinconada Bikol [bto], Miraya Bikol [rbl], Buhi'non Bikol [ubl], Pandan Bikol [cts]. There are more Bikol variants/languages.
Having only one language [bik] for all Bikol variants would be problematic when a user wants to translate from English or other languages to a particular Bikol variant. The translations he will get is a actually the Central Bikol [bcl] which is different from the rest of the other Bikol variants/languages.
The translations (which is in Central Bikol [bcl], the language used in this local project: Bikol Sentral Wikipedia / Bikol Wikipedia) are not entirely correct. The meaning and grammar of the translation does not change and correct same as the original text in most cases therefore the tool would be very helpful!

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

Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the
2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
Christel Steigenberger
Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
Victoria Doronina
Lorenzo Losa
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the

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, -

Hello
Wikipedians,
Apologies, as this message is not written in your native language.
Please help translate to your language
The
Wikimedia Foundation Web team
will be enabling
dark mode
here on your Wikipedia by February 2025 now that pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!
The plan to enable is made possible by the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who ensured that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!
For context, the Web team has concluded work on dark mode. If, on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.
If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create a page:
Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/xx.wikipedia.org
in MediaWiki (
like these pages
), and report the issue in the created page.
Thank you!

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2025
writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a
Wiki Loves Folklore
gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
Set up a campaign on
CampWiz
tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
Request local admins for site notice.
Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the
meta project page
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the
Article List Generator by Topic
and
CampWiz
. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.
Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our
project page
. Feel free to contact us on our
meta talk page
or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2025 International Team

Hello
Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
Please help translate to your language
The
Language and Product Localization team
has improved the
Content Translation dashboard
to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device.
With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users now have access to the capabilities shown in the image below.
Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic). Also, users can use translation to create new articles (as before) and expand existing articles section by section. You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.
In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.
We will implement
this improvement
on your wiki
on Monday, March 17th, 2025
and remove the current dashboard
by May 2025
Please reach out with any questions concerning the dashboard in this thread.
Thank you!
On behalf of the Language and Product Localization team.

Phased deployment of the CampaignEvents extension across various Wikipedias
baguhon an source
Latest comment:

Hello!
Apologies for writing this message in English.
I am writing on behalf of the
Campaigns product team
who are planning a global deployment of the
CampaignEvents extension
to all Wikipedias, starting with a small batch in April 2025.
The Bikol Wikipedia is one of the wikis proposed for this phase! This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, wikiprojects, and other on-wiki collaborations. Also making these events/wikiprojects more discoverable. You can find out more here on the
FAQs page
The three main features of this extension are:
Event Registration:
A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
Event List:
A calendar to show all events on your wiki. Soon, it will include WikiProjects too.
Invitation Lists:
A tool to find editors who might want to join, based on their edits.
Please Note:
This extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer," which will be managed by the administrators of Bikol Wikipedia, allowing the admins to decide when and how the extension tools are used on the wikis.
Once released, the organizer-facing tools (Event Registration and Invitation Lists) can only be used if someone is granted the Event-Organizer right, managed by the admins.
The only tool that is available immediately after release is the ‘’Collaboration List’’, which is a read-only page that lists events and WikiProjects that people can join.
The extension is already on some wikis,e.g Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia (
see full list
). Check out the
phased deployment plan
and share your thoughts by March 31, 2025.
To Admins,
your feedback and thoughts are especially important because this extension includes a new user right called "Event Organizer," which will be managed by you. Once you take a look at the details above and on the linked pages, we suggest drafting a community policy outlining criteria for granting this right on Bikol Wikipedia. Check out
Meta:Event_organizers
and
Wikidata:Event_organizers
to see examples.
For further enquiries, feel free to contact us via the

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of
Abstract Wikipedia
: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. 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 [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
August 2025: Campaign period
August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page
[link]
Call for Questions
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related.
[link]
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2025 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
[link].
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the
CampaignEvents extension
to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the
week of June 23rd
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
Event Registration
: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
Collaboration List
: A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at
Special:AllEvents
Invitation Lists
: A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
Note
: The extension comes with a new user right called
"Event Organizer"
, which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including
Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia
, and more (
See the full deployment list
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the
extension talkpage
. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you!

Good news! The
CampaignEvents extension
is now active on this Wiki as part of
Phase 2 of the global deployment
! This extension empowers organizers to plan and promote events like edit-a-thons, data-a-thons, and meetups with ease.
What You Can Do Now:
Event Registration
Invitation Lists
: Organizers can ask this wiki’s admins for the Event-Organizer right. This gives access to tools for planning, managing events, Wikiprojects and finding editors who share similar interests to invite for your upcoming event or wikiproject. These tools make organizing events simple and smooth.
Collaboration List
: You can now go to the “Special:AllEvents” page on this wiki to explore a global, automated calendar of upcoming and ongoing events, as well as WikiProjects on this wiki. It’s a great way to discover and promote collaborative activities!
Transclude Collaboration list: You can now add the Collaboration List to any page, like this wiki’s main page, WikiProject pages, or even User pages. This creates a calendar that updates automatically with events that match your wiki or topic. You can also transclude a list of the WikiProjects on the wiki. Learn more at:
mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list/Transclusion
For further enquires, feel free to contact us via the
extension talkpage

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
baguhon an source
Latest comment:
9 months ago
1 comment
1 person in discussion
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The
Community Affairs Committee (CAC)
of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned
the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)
to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki
projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose.
Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources
. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly,
failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones
. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
Wikispore
baguhon an source
The
application to consider Wikispore
was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided
not to recommend
Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows
better flexibility
and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
Wikinews
baguhon an source
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.
[1]
[2]
[3]
Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action
[4]
[5]
, see section 5
as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews
[6]
Initial metrics
compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
Options
mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
Feedback and next steps
baguhon an source
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages:
Public consultation about Wikispore
and
Public consultation about Wikinews
. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

Maogmang aldaw Wikipedians!
I would like to invite you to participate in our initiative to improve Wikipedia article by adding photo. This is an initiative of our small community which commenced this July 1st and ends on August 31st of 2025.
Before participating, it is important to read the participation instructions and rules below in their entirety.
Sign in (
) or Create a New Account on Wikipedia. You can create an account on any language Wikipedia, including your own language. The list of all language Wikipedia can be found here (
).
Find an article in Wikipedia (
) that needs a photo.
Find an appropriate image on Wikimedia Commons (
). Search for the image using the correct title or category (
). Please note that the purpose of an image is to increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter. The relevant aspect of the image should be clear and central. The images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative.
On the article page, find a section where the image is relevant and helps the reader understand the subject. Click Edit and insert the image, and include a brief caption explaining what the image depicts in the article. Use the best quality images available. Think carefully about which images best illustrate the subject matter. You MUST provide an edit summary for all your edits, "Preview" and make any necessary changes. Include the hashtags #WPWP and #WPWPPH in the edit summary of all articles improved with images. Then click on "Publish changes".
Please be mindful of the image syntax! If you are going to add images to the infoboxes in articles, the syntax is a lot easier — just the filename.
For complete instructions, please see this link:

Hello everyone, the
Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects
team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your
Watchlists
and
Recent Changes
lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the
Wikidata:Glossary
for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for
17.07.2025
, between
1300 - 1500 UTC
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this
project task page
. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated
Talk page
Thank you, -

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
baguhon an source
Latest comment:
7 months ago

Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation
Product Safety and Integrity
team. We would like to announce that
we plan to enable
temporary accounts
for this wiki in the week of September 1
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
Why we are building temporary accounts
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
How temporary accounts work
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern:
~2025-12345-67
(a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
What does this mean for different groups of users?
For logged-out editors
This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who
meet the relevant requirements
will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
For community members interacting with logged-out editors
A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki
For patrollers
who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who
meet the requirements
will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range (
Special:IPContributions
). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the
IP Info
feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
For admins blocking logged-out editors
It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the
autoblock
option.
It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
Our requests for you, and next steps
If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on
testwiki
or
test2wiki
. If you are a volunteer developer,
read our documentation for developers
, and in particular, the section on
how your code might need to be updated
If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
Look at our
previous message
about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out
our FAQ
– you will find many useful answers there. You may also
look at the updates
(we have just posted one) and
subscribe to our new newsletter
. If you'd like to talk to me (Szymon) off-wiki, you will find me on Discord and Telegram. Thank you!

Hello
. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from
Wikifunctions
and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then
please learn more and vote now
at meta-wiki.

Migration to Parsoid

Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the
Parser Unification
project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the
Extension:ParserMigration
documentation.
There is
more information about our roll-out strategy
available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our
known issues
documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the

Dear Wiki Community,
We are pleased to invite Wikimedia communities, affiliates, and independent contributors to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2026
writing competition on your local Wikipedia.
The international campaign will run from
1 February to 31 March 2026
and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.
About the Campaign
Feminism and Folklore
is a global writing initiative that complements the
Wiki Loves Folklore
photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the
gender gap on Wikipedia
by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and marginalized voices.
What Can Participants Write About?
Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:
Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
Women and queer figures in folklore
Women in mythology and oral traditions
Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
Folk games, sports, and cultural practices
Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.
How to Sign Up as an Organizer
Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:
Create a local project page on your wiki
(see sample)
Set up the campaign using the
CampWiz
tool
Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:
Campaign timeline
Local and international prizes
Request a site notice from local administrators
(see sample)
Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the
Meta project page
Campaign Tools
The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:
Article List Generator by Topic
– Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
CampWiz
– Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.
Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

Hello
Central Bikol Wikipedia,
I apologize that this message is not in your language.
Please help translate to your language
The
WMF Language and Product Localization
team is planning to launch a campaign project to encourage more native speakers to contribute to your Wikipedia.
Our approach
We will invite native speakers through Central Bikol Wikipedia homepage to join a 3-week onboarding program in an
Event registration page
. This program will:
Guide them step-by-step through an onboarding material on how to edit and use contribution tools to expand articles.
Surface vital articles that the community has prioritized for improvement and editing tasks can be worked on to improve those articles.
Through this guided onboarding program we will see if this approach will increase contributions from new editors or less experienced editors in your Wikipedia. You can read more about the project here in
this page
Tasks you can volunteer to help us with
To make this project successful, we need your community’s help with these key tasks:
Translate the onboarding materials on this page:
into Central Bikol.
Set up a call-to-action message on your
homepage
using the translations (admins are needed for this step). Instructions for the setup are on
this page
. @
Ringer
and @
Filipinayzd
, can you help with this task?
Create an Event Registration Page on Central Bikol Wikipedia, and insert the translated materials in it. Here is a sample of the event registration page:
Identify local Wikipedia articles or lists of articles needing improvement or missing in your Wikipedia. You might find inspiration in the "
List of articles every Wikipedia should have
". These articles are to be added into the Event page you will create. Our team will help generate links to contribution tools for the selected articles.
Timeline and Next Steps
Please, help us complete these tasks by
March 20, 2026
. We plan to launch the program on March 23, 2026.
We understand this is a big effort and truly appreciate any help you all can provide. Your support can help grow your community and make Central Bikol Wikipedia stronger.
Please let us know If your community is interested in this project and would help us with the tasks by replying on this thread.
Thank you for your time and support!
