IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
தொகு
Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently adopted by
global community consensus
(your community received a notice about the discussion). According to this policy, the
stewards
are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the new
admin activity review
here.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):
Srihari (bureaucrat)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the
stewards on Meta-Wiki
so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks,

Global AbuseFilter
தொகு
வணக்கம்,
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 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 has 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

செயற்திட்டம் - இலங்கையின் கிழக்கு-வடக்கு-மலையக தொழிற்கலைகளை பல்லூடக முறையில் ஆவணப்படுத்தல்
தொகு
தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா தமிழ் மொழியின், தமிழ்ச் பேசும் சமூகங்களின் அறிவுத் தளங்களை பதிவு செய்வதில் ஒரு முன்னோடிக் களமாக திகழ்ந்து வந்துள்ளது, வருகின்றது. தமிழ் பேசும் சமூகங்கள் தொடர்பான பல்வேறு தகவல்களை நாம் தொகுத்து வருகிறோம். ஆனால் சில முக்கியமான அறிவுத் தொகுதிகளைப் பதிவு செய்வதில் தடைகள் உள்ளன. போதிய உசாத்துணை வளங்கள் இல்லாமை, முன் எடுத்துக்காட்டுக்கள் இல்லாமை, இணைய இணைப்பு இல்லாமை, ஈடுபாடு கொண்ட பயனர்கள் இல்லாமை என்று பல்வேறு காரணங்கள் தடைகளாக உள்ளன. இவ்வாறு போதிய கவனிப்புப் பெறாத துறைகளில் ஒன்றாக மரபுசார் தொழிற்கலைகளும், அவைகளைப் பற்றிய அறிவுத் தளங்களும் உள்ளன. இதை நிவர்த்தி செய்யும் வகையில் விக்கியூடக நிறுவனத்தில் ஒரு
முன்மொழிவினை
முன்வைத்துள்ளோம். இந்த முன்மொழிவு தமிழ் விக்கி தன்னார்வலர்களாலும், நூலக நிறுவன பங்களிப்பாளர்களாலும், இதர அமைப்புகளின் ஆதரவோடும் முன்னெடுக்கும் வண்ணம் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றனது. அந்த முன்மொழிவு ஒரு வரைவு மட்டுமே. அந்த முன்மொழிவினை மேம்படுத்த, அந்தச் செயற்திட்டத்தில் பங்ககெடுக்க உங்களை வரவேற்கிறோம்.
தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா/ஊடகங்களில் பயிற்சிப் பட்டறை, நிகழ்வுகளில் அறிமுகப்படுத்தல், கட்டுரைப் போட்டி, ஊடகப் போட்டி, தொகுத்தல் போட்டி, நிகழ்வுகள், சந்திப்புக்கள் போன்ற முன்னெடுப்புக்கள் முன்னெடுக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றன. இவை அறிமுகப்படுத்தல், உள்ளடக்க விரிவாக்கம், புதிய பயனர்களைச் சேர்த்தல், இணையத்துக்கு அப்பாலான தொடர்பாடல் (Outreach), விக்கிச் சமூகக் கட்டமைப்பைப் பலப்படுத்தல் ஆகியவற்றை முதன்மை நோக்கங்களாகக் கொண்டு செயற்படுத்தப்படுகின்றன. நூலக நிறுவனத்துடன் 2006 இலேயே சில கூட்டுச் செயற்பாடுகள் முன்னெடுக்கப்பட்டாலும், நாட்டுடைமையாக்கப்பட்ட படைப்புக்களை விக்கிமூலத்துக்கும், விக்கிசனரிக்கும் கொண்டுவரும் செயற்திட்டமே தமிழ் விக்கியூடகத்தின் முதலாவது முறையான கூட்டுச் செயற்பாடு (partnership) எனலாம்.
இந்தச் செயற்திட்டம் மேற்கண்ட பரிணாமங்களின் புதிய முனையாக, முன்னெடுப்பாக முன்வைக்கப்படுகின்றது.
முதலாவதாக இது வெளிக்களத்தில் தொடர்சியான களச் செயற்பாடுகளைக் (sustained on the ground outreach activities) கொண்டு இருக்கும். குறிப்பாக தமிழ் விக்கியர்கள் அரிதாக உள்ள மலையகம், கிழக்கிலங்கை, வன்னி, மன்னார் போன்ற இடங்களைக் குறிவைத்து.
இரண்டாவதாக தமிழ்ச் சூழலில் GLAM (
) மற்றும் மரபுரிமைச் செயற்திட்டங்களை (
) முன்னெடுப்பது சிக்கல்களும், தடைகளும் மிகுந்தது. எம்மிடம் பலமான நூலக, ஆவணக, அருங்காட்சியகக் கட்டமைப்புக்கள் இல்லாமை இதற்கு ஒரு முக்கிய தடை ஆகும். ஆனால் அந்தக் களங்களை விக்கிக்கும், இணையத்துக்கும் கொண்டுவரும் தேவை மிகையாகவே இருக்கின்றது. அந்தக் களங்களை தமிழ் விக்கியூடகங்களுக்கு கொண்டுவரும் செயற்திட்டமாக இது அமையும்.
மூன்றாவதாக இது இலங்கையில் ஒரு நிறுவனத்துடனான, குறிப்பாக வேரடி அமைப்புக்களின் ஒன்றான நூலக நிறுவனத்துடனான ஒரு கூட்டுச் செயற்திடமாக அமையும்.
உங்கள் கருத்துக்களையும், ஆதரவையும், பங்களிப்பையும் இந்தச் செயற்திட்டத்துக்கு
இலங்கையின் கிழக்கு-வடக்கு-மலையக தொழிற்கலைகளை பல்லூடக முறையில் ஆவணப்படுத்தல்
நல்கவும். நன்றி.

New tools and IP masking
தொகு
Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools
could
be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project
on Meta
and
post comments and feedback
. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started
தொகு
Hello,
In a
recent statement
, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
requested that staff hold a consultation
to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians
to join this consultation and give their feedback
from 30 September to 30 October.
How can you help?
Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);
Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or
Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.
We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project
தொகு
Please help translate to your language
Hello. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some
improvements to the desktop interface
over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.
We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.
We would like individual feedback on the following:
Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far
We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.
When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:
Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
Put things in logical and useful places
Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
Eliminate clutter
Plan for future growth
As well as the following constraints:
Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at
mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.
நன்றி!

Wikimedia 2030: Movement Strategy Community conversations are here!
தொகு
Dear Affiliate Representatives and community members,
The launch of our final round of community conversation is finally here! We are excited to have the opportunity to invite you to take part.
The recommendations have been published! Please take time over the next five weeks to review and help us understand how your organization and community would be impacted.
What Does This Mean?
The
core recommendations document
has now been published on Meta in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is the result of more than a year of dedicated work by our working groups, and we are pleased to share the evolution of their work for your final consideration.
In addition to the recommendations text, you can read through key documents such as
Principles
Process
, and
the Writer’s Reflections
, which lend important context to this work and highlight the ways that the recommendations are conceptually interlinked.
We also have a
brief Narrative of Change
[5] which offers a summary introduction to the recommendations material.
How Is My Input Reflected In This Work?
Community input played an important role in the drafting of these recommendations. The core recommendations document reflects this and cites community input throughout in footnotes.
I also encourage you to take a look at our
community input summaries
. These texts show a further analysis of how all of the ideas you shared last year through online conversations, affiliate meetings, and strategy salons connect to recommendations. Many of the community notes and reports not footnoted in the core recommendations document are referenced here as evidence of the incredible convergence of ideas that have brought us this far.
What Happens Now?
Affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders have the next five weeks to discuss and share feedback on these recommendations. In particular, we’re hoping to better understand how you think they would impact our movement - what benefits and opportunities do you foresee for your affiliate, and why? What challenges or barriers would they pose for you? Your input at this stage is vital, and we’d like to warmly invite you to participate in this final discussion period.
We encourage volunteer discussion co-ordinators for facilitating these discussions in your local language community on-wiki, on social media, informal or formal meet ups, on-hangouts, IRC or the village pump of your project. Please collect a report from these channels or conversations and connect with me directly so that I can be sure your input is collected and used. Alternatively, you can also post the feedback on the meta talk pages of the respective recommendations.
After this five week period, the Core Team will publish a summary report of input from across affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders for public review before the recommendations are finalized. You can view our updated
timeline
here as well as an updated
FAQ section
that addresses topics like the goal of this current period, the various components of the draft recommendations, and what’s next in more detail.
Thank you again for taking the time to join us in community conversations, and we look forward to receiving your input. (Please help us by translating this message into your local language). Happy reading!

Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.
To learn more about the project,
please visit the Meta page

The 2030 movement strategy recommendations are here!
தொகு
Greetings! We are pleased to inform that the
2030 movement strategy recommendations
have been published on Meta-wiki. Over the last two years, our movement has worked tirelessly to produce these ideas to change our shared future. Many of you participated in the online conversations, hosted strategy salons, attended regional events, and connected with us in-person at Wikimania. These contributions were invaluable, and will help make our movement stronger for years to come.
The finished set of 10 recommendations emphasizes many of our core values, such as equity, innovation, safety, and coordination, while tasking us jointly to turn this vision into a reality. These recommendations clarify and refine the previous version, which was published in January this year. They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are flexible enough to be adapted to different global and local settings and will allow us to navigate future challenges. Along with the recommendations, we have outlined 10 underlying
principles
a narrative of change
, and a
glossary
of key terms for better context.
The recommendations are available in numerous languages, including Arabic, German, Hindi, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish for you to read and share widely. We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time and at your own pace, either
online
or in a
PDF
. There are a couple of other formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta. If you would like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages. However, please note that these are the final version of the recommendations. No further edits will be made. This final version of the recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia movement should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet the Wikimedia vision in a changing world.
In terms of next steps, our focus now shifts toward implementation. In light of the cancellation of the Wikimedia Summit, the Wikimedia Foundation is determining the best steps for moving forward through a series of virtual events over the coming months. We will also be hosting live
office hours
in the next coming few days, where you can join us to celebrate the Strategy and ask questions! Please stay tuned, and thank you once again for helping to drive our movement forward, together.

Feedback on movement names
தொகு
Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. நன்றி!
There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.
Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a
survey
in 7 languages about
3 naming options
. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a
Community Open Letter
Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.
Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia
தொகு
Hi all,
It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.
This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020
after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.
The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.
As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation
. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.
It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.
We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.
There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list
. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.
Yours,
Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Regional Call for South Asia - Oct. 30
தொகு
Hi everyone. The time has come to put Movement Strategy into work and we need your help. We are inviting South Asian communities, Indian Wikimedians, and anyone else interested to join a region-focused conversation on Movement Strategy and implementation. Please join us on
Friday Oct. 30 at 19.30 / 7:30 pm IST
Google Meet
).
The purpose of the meeting is to get prepared for global conversations, to identify priorities for implementation in 2021, and to plan the following steps. There are
10 recommendations
and they propose multiple
45 initiatives
written over two years by many Wikimedians. It is now up to communities to decide which ones we should work on together in 2021, starting with
local and regional conversations
. Global meetings will take place later in November when we will discuss global coordination and resources. More information about the global events will be shared soon.
What is work you’re already doing that is aligned with Movement Strategy?
What are priorities for you in 2021?
What are things we should all work on globally?
We would not be able to grow and diversify as a movement if communities from South Asia are not meaningfully involved in implementing the recommendations. Join the conversation with your questions and ideas, or just come to say hi. See you on Friday October 30.

Update to ICU Unicode library
தொகு
Starting on November 16, we will migrate the servers running the MediaWiki application servers to a new release of the ICU Unicode library (
w:International Components for Unicode
) (from version 57 to 63).
This unblocks some future work on upgrading the servers to a new Operating System release and will also allow the use of improved internationalisation in the future (as wikis will then be able to use features introduced by the new ICU release such as new collation definitions, and allows us to use a more recent version of Unicode in MediaWiki).
This migration will cause some unavoidable temporary user-visible impact: The sorting of some category pages will be distorted – all pages which have been updated with the new software version will use the new sorting while untouched pages still use the old sorting.
As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries.
The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki.
This affects 149 wikis
(including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias). The detailed list and the task for the technical implementation is at
T264991
Thank you.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist
தொகு
Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on
this page
. Feel free to translate it in more languages!
As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (
in your preferences
). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.
Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.
This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.
Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally
தொகு
Please help translate to your language
Hello everyone,
I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project:
m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally
In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.
This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like
WP:NPOV
, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.
As far as I can see, விக்கிநூல்கள் currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.
I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see
m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally
Please feel free to
ask me
if you have any questions about this proposal.
Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations
தொகு
Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2
தொகு
Please help translate to your language
The
Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its
project page
Drafting Committee: Call for applications
தொகு
The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.
To apply and learn more about the process, see
Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee
2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators
தொகு
From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested
key questions
. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please
in whatever language you are most comfortable.

விக்கிமீடியா நிறுவனம்
, தனது முதல் மற்றும் இரண்டாம் நிலை தரவு மையத்திற்கிடையேயான மாற்றத்தை சோதனை செய்ய உள்ளது. ஒரு பேரிடருக்கு பின்னும் விக்கிப்பீடியா மற்றும் இதர விக்கிமீடியா விக்கிகள் இணைப்பில் இருப்பதை இது உறுதிப்படுத்தும். எல்லாம் வேலை செய்கிறது என்பதை உறுதி செய்ய, விக்கிமீடியா தொழில்நுட்ப துறை ஒரு திட்டமிடப்பட்ட சோதனையை செய்ய வேண்டும். இந்த சோதனை, அவர்களால் ஒரு தரவு மையத்திலிருந்து மற்றொன்றிக்கு நம்பகமாக மாற இயலுமா என்பதை காட்டும். இந்த சோதனைக்காக பல அணிகள் தயாராக வேண்டும் மற்றும் ஏதேனும் எதிர்பாராத சிக்கல்களை சரி செய்ய ஆயத்தமாக இருக்க வேண்டும்.
நல்வாய்பற்ற விதத்தில்,
மீடியாவிக்கியில்
உள்ள சில குறைபாடுகள் காரணமாக, மாற்றம் செய்யப்படும் போது எல்லா தொகுப்பு செயல்களும் நிறுத்தப்பட வேண்டும். இந்த இடையூறுக்கு நாங்கள் வருந்துகிறோம். மேலும் இவற்றை வருங்காலத்தில் குறைப்பதற்கு முயல்கிறோம்.
நீங்கள் ஒரு குறுகிய காலத்திற்கு அனைத்து விக்கிகளையும் படிக்க முடியும், ஆனால் தொகுக்க முடியாது.
செவ்வாய், ஜூன் 29 2021 அன்று நீங்கள் அதிக பட்சமாக ஒரு மணி நேரத்திற்கு தொகுக்க முடியாது. சோதனை தொடங்கும் நேரம்:
14:00 UTC
(07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, மற்றும் நியூசிலாந்தில் புதன் ஜூன் 30 அன்று 02:00 NZST).
இந்த நேரங்களில் நீங்கள் தொகுக்கவோ அல்லது சேமிக்கவோ முயன்றால், நீங்கள் ஒரு பிழை செய்தியை காண்பீர். இந்த நிமிடங்களில் எந்த தொகுப்பும் தொலையாது என நம்புகிறோம், ஆனால் எங்களால் அதை உறுதி செய்ய இயலாது. நீங்கள் அந்த பிழை செய்தியை கண்டால், தயவு செய்து எல்லாம் இயல்பு நிலைக்கு திரும்பும் வரை காத்திருக்கவும். அதன் பின் நீங்கள் உங்கள் தொகுப்பை சேமிக்க முடியும். இருப்பினும், முன்னெச்சரிக்கையாக உங்கள் மாற்றங்களை ஓர் பிரதி எடுத்து கொள்வதை நாங்கள் பரிந்துரைக்கிரோம்.
பிற விளைவுகள்
பின்புல வேலைகள் மந்தமாக இருக்கும். மேலும் அவற்றில் சில கைவிடப்படலாம். சிகப்பு இணைப்புகள் வழக்கமான வேகத்தில் புதுப்பிக்கப்படாமல் போகலாம். நீங்கள் வேறு எங்கேனும் இணைக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு கட்டுரையை உருவாக்கினால், அந்த இணைப்பு வழக்கத்தை விட அதிக நேரம் சிகப்பாகவே இருக்கும். சில நீண்ட நேரம் ஓடும் துணுக்குகள் நிறுத்தப்பட வேண்டி இருக்கும்.
ஜூன் 28 வாரத்தில் மூல முடக்கம் இருக்கும். அத்தியாவசியமற்ற மூல பயன்கொள் நடக்காது.
தேவைப்பட்டால் இந்த திட்டம் ஒத்திவைக்கப்படலாம். நீங்கள்
அட்டவணையை wikitech.wikimedia.org இல் படிக்கலாம்
. எந்த மாற்றங்களும் அட்டவணையில் அறிவிக்கப்படும். இது குறித்து மேலும் அறிவிப்புகள் இருக்கும். இந்த செயல்பாடு நடப்பதற்கு 30 நிமிடங்களுக்கு முன்பு அனைத்து விக்கிகளிலும் ஒரு பேனர் காண்பிக்கப்படும்.
தயவு செய்து இந்த தகவலை உங்கள் சமூகத்துடன் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ளுங்கள்.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January
தொகு
Hello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the
Community Wishlist Survey
2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a
dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year
தொகு
In the past, the
Community Tech
team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the
Wishlist for 2021
in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the
Wishlist for 2020
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities
தொகு
We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet
தொகு
We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the
talk page
, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting
September 15th at 23:00 UTC
. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase
தொகு
If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the
new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox
. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback
தொகு
What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
How would you like to use our new
sandbox?
What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the
talk page
(in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

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.

Please help translate to your language
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.
Thank you,
Movement Strategy and Governance

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
தொகு
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by
global community consensus
in 2013. According to this policy, the
stewards
are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the
admin activity review
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
Natkeeran (administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the
stewards on Meta-Wiki
so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks,
Stanglavine

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Call for Election Volunteers
தொகு
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Please help translate to your language
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.
There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?
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

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass
தொகு
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
மேலதிக மொழிகள்
Please help translate to your language
Hi all,
Community members are invited to
propose statements to use in the Election Compass
for the
2022 Board of Trustees election.
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/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.
Regards,
Movement Strategy & Governance

Bot policy
தொகு
Hello. To facilitate
steward
granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the
standard bot policy
on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables
global bots
on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from
Project:Bot policy
, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read
the text at Meta-Wiki
before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --

WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations

Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023.
The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.
We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.
Here is a survey
form
to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on
this page
, if you support the idea.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
தொகு
The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the
Wikimedia Foundation Web team
In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average
87% of active logged-in users
of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to
any other skins
. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

About the skin
தொகு
[Why is a change necessary]
The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects.
The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective]
The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the
Community Wishlist Surveys
, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins.
We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%
. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results]
The skin introduces a
series of changes
that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Try it out]
Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in
your preferences
and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
How can editors change and customize this skin?
தொகு
It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out
our repository
for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.
Our plan
தொகு
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022
. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.

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.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

Please help translate to your language
• Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the
Wikimedia Foundation Web team
In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
பொதுவான விருப்பங்கள்
If you prefer keeping the current skin
select "Vector legacy (2010)" on
the appearance tab of the global preferences
and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.
If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a
local
(but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

[Why is a change necessary]
When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways.
The old Vector does not meet their needs
[Objective]
The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the
Community Wishlist Surveys
, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins.
The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%
. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell]
The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

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,

[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.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)
தொகு
(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)
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
Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions
தொகு
மேலதிக மொழிகள்
Please help translate to your language
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

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews
தொகு
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
தொகு
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
தொகு
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
தொகு
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.

Files need a license if they have none they should be deleted
தொகு
Hello! Sorry to write to English. But according to
wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy
all files need a license. For example
Template:Cc-by-sa-4.0
. Files without a license should be deleted. Sadly if users that uploaded the files are no longer active it is most likely not possible to save the files. So if you are active and uploaded any files make sure you have added a license.
If you are not the uploader you can still help by writing to to users that uploaded files without a license or to find a replacement file. You can see the files at
Special:ListFiles

Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon
தொகு
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!

Upcoming deployment of CampaignEvents extension to Wikibooks
தொகு
Hello everyone,
We are writing to inform you that the
CampaignEvents extension
will be deployed to all Wikibooks projects during the week of
23 March 2026
This follows last year’s broader rollout across Wikimedia projects. We realized that Wikibooks was not included at the time, and we’re now addressing that to ensure consistency across all communities.
The CampaignEvents extension provides tools to support event and campaign organization on-wiki, including features like on-wiki event registration and collaboration lists(global event list).
We welcome any questions, feedback, or concerns you may have. We are also happy to support anyone interested in trying out the tools.
Apologies if this message is not in your preferred language. If you’re able to help translate it for your community, please feel free to do so.
