connectivity project
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hallo, my name is Anastasiya Lvova, I'm "duty" in
Connectivity project
. The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and
enhance
the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.
We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example,
ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage
de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage
fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage
). Is it possible to set it up for our usage?
thanks in advance,

Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called
Betawiki
. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the Japanese language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. In fact, of 1,736 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 1.59% of the messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages for 126 extensions, with 2,174 messages. Many of them are used in WMF projects and they are vital for understanding the wiki. Currently 0.00% of the WMF extension messages have been translated. Translators for over 90 languages contribute their work to MediaWiki this way every month.
If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit
Betawiki
create an account
and
request translator privileges
. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on
MediaWiki.org
and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be
working on your language on Betawiki
If you have any further questions,
please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki
. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by
importing
all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.
You can also find us on the Freenode
IRC
network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we will be happy to help you get started.
Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on
Betawiki
soon! Thanks,

Bot policy
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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), which form the vast majority of such requests. 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. Please read the text at
m:Bot policy
before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week 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. --

The LocalisationUpdate extension has gone live
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from
translatewiki.net
typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months.
The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner
What this means for you
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are
exactly
the same as the system message will be removed. What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net.
Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same.
Why localise at translatewiki.net
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make.

How can we improve the usability for your language
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer:
Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative
Does MediaWiki support your language properly
The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the
necessary changes
s . It should update your localisation straight away.
We would like you to report each issue individually at
When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.
We would like you to report each issue individually at
. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.

Fundraising time is around the corner!
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello Wikimedians, my name is Deniz and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Sängö community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort, we recognize that banner messages that perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.
I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project, helping to translate and localize messages into Sängö and suggesting messages that would appeal to Sängö readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on
meta
for both
banner submission
statistical analysis
, and
grouping volunteers together
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser.
Please translate this message into Sängö if you can and post it below.--

Fundraising 2010: Beat Jimmy Challenge
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The Fundraising Committee is issuing all interested community members a challenge:
we want you to beat Jimmy
. The appeal from Jimmy Wales and the corresponding banner have been tested head-to-head with other successful banners, and the results are clear: it's our best performing message... by a lot. This year we have a lofty fundraising goal; we need all of our banners to bring in donations like the Jimmy Appeal, but no one wants to keep the Jimmy banner up for two months. We want to run donor quotes, and other wonderful ideas, but we have to have banners that work as well as or better than the Jimmy appeal.
We've just released the highlights from a
donor focus group
, and the results of our
donor survey
. With one month to the launch of the fundraiser, the messages we test must be driven by data from our tests and surveys - we can no longer rely on instinct alone.
We've redesigned our fundraising meta pages with the Jimmy challenge; check out the survey results and propose/discuss banners that reflect these findings. Add the banners you think will 'beat Jimmy'
here
to be tested

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version
right now
on
beta.wmflabs.org
. For more information, please read the
release notes
or the
start of the final announcement
The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:
Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.
Report any
problems
on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.
Note
that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. —

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.
As much of the activity will be concentrated on
translatewiki.net
, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.
Thanks,

Update on IPv6
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as
the full version of this announcement on Meta
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on
World IPv6 day
(June 6), and keep it enabled.
What this means for your project:
At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
". See e.g.
w:en:IPv6 address
. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See
the full version of this announcement
for notes on range blocks.)
In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.
We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.
Read
the full version of this announcement
on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the
2011 Picture of the Year competition
is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the
Picture of the Year 2011
. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons
with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC)
is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!
Detailed information about the contest can be found
at the introductory page
About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen
by the international Wikimedia Commons community
out of 12 million files during
2011
and are now called
Featured Pictures
From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons
Features Pictures
of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images
into topic categories
We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)
Hi,
As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "
Funds Dissemination Committee
" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other
eligible entities
Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the
Ombudsperson
for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the
call for volunteers
. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)
As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called
m:Wikidata
. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.
The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:
language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)
It'd be great if you could join us, test the
demo version
, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an
FAQ
and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on
the Wikidata page on Meta

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Please translate for your local community
Hello All,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.
The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through.
All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed
(and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)
By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project!
:)
If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.
Wikidata
has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.
What is Wikidata?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.
What is going to happen?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.
Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

Greetings. As you might have seen on the
Wikimedia tech blog
or the
tech ambassadors list
, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today.
Lua
is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.
If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week:
one on Wednesday
(for Oceania, Asia & America) and
one on Friday
(for Europe, Africa & America); see
m:IRC office hours
for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at
mw:Talk:Lua scripting

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on
de:Wikipedia:Kurier
A while ago the first phase of
Wikidata
was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [
first 11 Wikipedias
] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8.
If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10.
I will update
this part of the FAQ
if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.
What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here?
Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)
How will this work?
There are two ways to access the data:
Use a parser function like
{{#property:p169}}
in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “
Marissa Mayer
” as she is the
chief executive officer
of the
company
For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is
here
We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use
{{#property:chief executive officer}}
instead of
{{#property:p169}}
. The complete plan for this is

[en] Change to section edit links
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.
Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.
Detailed information and a timeline
is available on meta.
Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Updating the logo for this wiki

New logo
Hello! As part of the update of Wikipedias logos to the new (2010) 3D puzzle globe version, we have noticed that your wiki's current logo is missing, outdated or with wrong translation. We are trying to help Wikipedias get a locally-adapted correct logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us, and in about a week from now we'll be replacing the current logo with the new one shown in
this gallery, with explanation
If the translation is wrong, or there's another error in the new logo, or the community disagrees with the update, please
update the list of logos
or tell us on
its talk page

VisualEditor and your Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(Please translate this message)
Greetings,
The Wikimedia Foundation will soon turn on
VisualEditor
for all users, all the time on your Wikipedia. Right now your Wikipedia does not have any local documents on VisualEditor, and we hope that your community can change that. To find out about how you can help with translations visit the
TranslationCentral for VisualEditor
and read the easy instructions on
bringing information to your Wikipedia
. The
User Guide
and the
FAQ
are very important to have in your language.
We want to find out as much as we can from you about VisualEditor and how it helps your Wikipedia, and having local pages is a great way to start. We also encourage you to
leave feedback on Mediawiki
where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to
Bugzilla
If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process.
If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well.
Translatewiki
has open tasks for translating VisualEditor. A direct link to translate the user interface is
here
. You can see how we are doing with those translations
here
. You need an account on Translatewiki to translate. This account is free and easy to create.
If we can help your community in any way with this process, please let me know and I will do my best to assist your Wikipedia with this |exciting development. You can contact me on my
meta talk page
or by
email
. You can also contact
Patrick Earley
for help with translations and documents on Mediawiki. We look forward to working with you to bring the VisualEditor experience to your Wikipedia!

Request for consultation on this community logo
First, I’d like to apologize for the English. If you can, please help to translate this for other members of your community.
The legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation would greatly appreciate your input on the best way to manage the "community logo" (pictured here) to best balance protection of the projects with community support. Accordingly, they have created a “request for consultation” on Meta where they set out briefly some of the issues to be considered and the options that they perceive.
Your input would be invaluable

Notifications

Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

Greetings!
Notifications
will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.
We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in
this release plan
. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.
There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:
Echo on translatewiki for user interface
- you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
Thanks on translatewiki for user interface
- you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
Notifications help on mediawiki.org
. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia. You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

Hi all,
Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki:
m:Community Logo/Request for consultation
This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.
The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.
We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Introducting Beta Features
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)
We would like to let you know about
Beta Features
, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.
Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.
Beta Features is now ready for testing on
MediaWiki.org
. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.
Here are the first features you can test this week:
Media Viewer
— view images in large size or full screen
VisualEditor Formulæ
(for wikis with
VisualEditor
) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
Typography Refresh
— make text more readable (coming Thursday)
Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the
Beta Features page
After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on
this discussion page
-- or report any bugs
here on Bugzilla
. You're also welcome to join
this IRC office hours chat
on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.
Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.
Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think!

VisualEditor coming to this wiki
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!
VisualEditor is coming to this project on December 2, 2013. VisualEditor is software in development to allow people to edit pages in MediaWiki without needing to learn wikitext syntax (like typing
[[
to start a link). It is already available and in use on some Wikipedia projects. Please see
mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ
for more information.
When this software arrives, you will have the option to use it or to use the current wikitext editor. When you press “edit”, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press “edit source”. For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see
mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide
We hope that this software will be useful to people in your community, and we can really use your help to make it better! Please let us know if you find any problems. If you're willing and able, please
report the issue in bugzilla
in the
"VisualEditor" product
. If you would prefer not, please explain the issue you found on the
central feedback page
on mediawiki.org. Once VisualEditor is made available, if there are any urgent problems, like an unexpected bug suddenly causing widespread severe problems, please e-mail James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org for immediate attention.
We would also appreciate help with translation with the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. To translate the user interface, start by creating an account at
TranslateWiki
. Once your account request is approved, all you need to do is select your language from
this list
. This will give you a list of individual lines and paragraphs. The English original will be on one side, with the option to “edit” on the other. Pressing “edit” will open an edit window where you can work.
The User Guide is another important document. To translate this, simply go to
the MediaWiki.org page
, and select “translate this page”. Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. If you want to help with translations and would like to talk about how, please leave a message for me on my talk page.
Thank you, and happy editing! --

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.
The Wikimedia Foundation's
multimedia team
seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the
MP4 video format
. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as
H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC
Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).
However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.
We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.
Please join this RfC -- and share your advice
All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.
You are also welcome to join tomorrow's
Office hours chat on IRC
, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.
We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension
Universal Language Selector
(ULS) was
disabled
on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.
We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A
new checkbox
has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

Changes to the default site typography coming soon
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:
April 1st
: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
April 3rd
: Wikipedias will see this change live
This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their
personal CSS
, if they prefer a different appearance. Local
common CSS
styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

The Wikimedia Foundation's
Multimedia team
is happy to announce that
Media Viewer
was just released on this site today.
Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a
Beta Feature
and has been
released
to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.
If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your
your preferences
) whether you have an account or not. Learn more
in this Media Viewer Help page
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to
share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org
in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.
If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Did you know?
TemplateData is a separate program that organizes information about the parameters that can be used in a template. VisualEditor reads that data, and uses it to populate its simplified template dialogs.
With the new TemplateData editor, it is easier to add information about parameters, because the ones you need to use are pre-loaded.
See
the help page for TemplateData
for more information about adding TemplateData.
The user guide
has information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the

over 125 bugs and requests
. Several performance improvements were made, especially to the system around re-using references and reference lists. Weekly updates are posted

There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs

) when you saved. The developers apologize for the disruption, and thank the people who reported these problems quickly.
Increased support for devices and browsers
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users now have access to VisualEditor
. This means that about 5% of Wikimedia's users will now get an "Edit" tab alongside the existing "Edit source" tab. Support for Internet Explorer 9 is planned for the future.
Tablet users
browsing the site's mobile mode now have the option of using a mobile-specific form of VisualEditor. More editing tools, and availability of VisualEditor on smartphones, is planned for the future. The
mobile version of VisualEditor
was tweaked to show the context menu for citations instead of basic references (
bug 68897
). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early (
bug 68949
). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed (
bug 66697
bug 68828
bug 69630
). You can use VisualEditor on the mobile version of Wikipedia from your tablet by clicking on the cog in the top-right when editing a page and choosing which editor to use.
TemplateData editor
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The tool for editing
TemplateData
has been deployed to 30 more Wikipedias this week.
Other Wikipedias and some other projects may receive access next month. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template page or a subpage, and then click the "
Modifier les données du modèle
" button at the top. Read
the help page for TemplateData
. You can test the TemplateData editor
in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org
. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage
or
on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
Other changes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Several interface
messages and labels were changed
to be simpler, clearer, or shorter, based on feedback from translators and editors. The formatting of dialogs was changed, and more changes to the appearance will be coming soon, when VisualEditor implements the new MediaWiki theme from Design. (A preview of the theme is
available on Labs
for developers.) The team also made some improvements for users of the
Monobook
skin that improved the size of text in toolbars and fixed selections that overlapped menus.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki now supplies the
mw-redirect
and
mw-disambig
class on
links to redirects and disambiguation pages
, so that user gadgets that colour in these types of links can be created.
Templates' fields can be marked as '
required
in TemplateData. If a parameter is marked as required, then you cannot delete that field when you add a new template or edit an existing one (
bug 60358
).
Language support improved by making annotations use bi-directional isolation (so they display correctly with cursoring behaviour as expected) and by fixing a bug that crashed VisualEditor when trying to edit a page with a
dir
attribute but no
lang
set (
bug 69955
).

The team posts details about planned work on the

Meta RfCs on two new global groups
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello all,
There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at
m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group
. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at
m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review
We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.
It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at
m:Stewards' noticeboard
Thanks and regards,

Global AbuseFilter
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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

Did you know?
VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Log in and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings button in the upper-right corner to pick which editor to use. Choose "
⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-visual-editor⧽
" to use VisualEditor, or "
⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-source-editor⧽
" to use the wikitext editor.
It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.
The user guide
has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available on the mobile website.
Since the last newsletter, the
Editing Team
has fixed many
bugs and requests
, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted
on Mediawiki.org
. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted
on Meta
Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Basic support for
inserting tables
and changing the number of rows and columns in them was just introduced to Wikipedias. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be added later.
To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus are now hidden behind
a "
Plus
" item
, such as "
Souligné
" in the styling menu.
The French Wikipedia should see
better search results
for links, templates, and media because the
new search engine
was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias this week, and the following week at the English Wikipedia.
The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for
non-Latin languages
, with full support hopefully coming soon.
VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use
Internet Explorer
10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.
The
keyboard shortcuts
for items in the toolbar menus are now shown in the menus.
VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a
new theme
from the
User Experience/Design group
. The appearance of dialog boxes has already changed in the mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. You are welcome to compare
the old "Apex" design
and
the new "MediaWiki" theme
which will replace it.
Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search engine could not find the page. A link inside a template to a local page that does not exist will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to an error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like
with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.
TemplateData
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The tool for quickly editing
TemplateData
has been deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November.
This tool was already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "
Modifier les données du modèle
" button at the top. Read
the help page for TemplateData
to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor
in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org
. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage
or
on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
You can use the
new autovalue setting
to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in
this example
, or to add the most common value for that parameter. The autovalue can be overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.
In TemplateData, you may
define a parameter as "required"
. The template dialog box in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "
suggéré
" or "
facultatif
" in TemplateData instead.
Looking ahead

Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Basic support for
editing tables
is now available. You can add and delete tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid
rowspan
and
colspan
elements, instead of trying to repair them.
You can now use
find and replace
in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing
^ Ctrl
or
⌘ Cmd
You can now create and edit simple
paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "
Paragraphe
" into a "
Bloc de citation
".
Some
new keyboard sequences
can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "
" will make the line a bullet list; "
1.
" or "
" will make it a numbered list; "
==
" will make it a section heading; "
" will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change.
There are also two other keyboard sequences: "
[[
" for opening the link tool, and "
{{
" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like
^ Ctrl
to open the link editor, still work.
If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.
You can again create and edit
galleries
as wikitext code.

Since the last newsletter, the
Editing Team
has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's appearance, the coming Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements.
Status reports are posted
on mediawiki.org
. Upcoming plans are posted at the
VisualEditor roadmap
The Wikimedia Foundation has named
its top priorities for this quarter
(January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements.
There will be weekly
triage meetings
which
will be open to volunteers
beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at
12:00 (noon) PST
(20:00 UTC).
Tell Vice President of Engineering
Damon Sicore
, Product Manager
James Forrester
and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at
mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal
shortly before the meeting begins.
Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.
Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The
new design for VisualEditor
aligns with MediaWiki's
Front-End Standards
as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the
OOjs UI
library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:
starts a new task, like opening the
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽
dialog:
blue
takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation:
green
might remove or lose your work, like removing a link:
red
, or
is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window:
gray
The
TemplateData editor
has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor. (
T67815
T73746
.) This change fixed a couple of existing bugs and improved usability. (
T73077
T73078
.)
Search and replace
in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once.(
T78234
.)
Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. (
T86688
T87027
.) If your community would like
VisualEditor enabled on another namespace
on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
Looking ahead
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The Editing team will soon add
auto-fill features
for citations
. The
Citoid service
takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.
We will need editors to help test the
new design of the special character inserter
, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact
User:Whatamidoing (WMF)
if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at
Phase 5 Wikipedias
. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including
Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh
. The date for this change has not been determined.

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, 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 log actions for more than 2 years):
Reder (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,

Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and
network speed
by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding
auto-fill features
for citations
. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The
Citoid service
takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for
ISBNs
PMIDs
, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good
TemplateData
for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the
Citoid project on Phabricator
. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The
special character inserter
has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the
Phase 5
list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including
Afrikaans
Azerbaijani
Breton
Kyrgyz
Macedonian
Mongolian
Tatar
, and
Welsh
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use
input method editors
("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the
"packed" mode in image galleries
. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now
drag and drop categories
to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon
so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (
T90734
Looking ahead
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted
at mediawiki.org
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
This is a message from the
2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Translations
are available.
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have
published letters
describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is
accepting nominations
for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.
This year, elections are being held for the following roles:
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at
the board elections page
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at
the FDC elections page
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at
the FDC Ombudsperson elections page
The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on
the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Content Translation now available as a beta feature on this Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello, we enabled
Content Translation
today as a beta feature on this Wikipedia. Content Translation is a tool that will help editors quickly create new articles by translating from a Wikipedia page in another language. The tool is currently in use in over
40 Wikipedias
as a beta feature. To start translating, you will have to enable the beta feature and go to
Special:ContentTranslation
or to your contributions page and create a new translation by selecting the source language, the article name you wish to translate and target language i.e. the language of the new article you are creating. If the article already exists then a warning will be displayed. After you translate the article, you can publish it directly as a new page on the Wikipedia. In case the article gets created by another user while you were translating, you will see an option to save the newly published translation under your user namespace. The number of published pages can be seen on the
Content Translation stats page
Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the
Content Translation talk page
or through
Phabricator
if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool. For more information, please read
about how to use the tool
. You can also view a
short screencast
on how to use Content Translation. My apologies for writing this announcement only in English. Please feel free to translate this message. Thank you.

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot
(then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g.
T101524
). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a
migration guide
, and please
if you have any problem.
There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in
this list
, your bot will most likely break.

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?
When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:
The link tool has been re-designed:
There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages.
The user guide
has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the
Editing Team
has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted
on mediawiki.org
. The worklist for April through June is available
in Phabricator
test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors
at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial
results will be posted at Meta
later this month.
Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Auto-fill features
for citations
are available at a few Wikipedias through the
citoid service
. Citoid takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽
, or
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽
). The cite button is now labeled with the word "
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "
⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽
", for the submit button.
The
link tool
has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (
T98085
The
special character inserter
in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list
at mediawiki.org
. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (
T70425
Several improvements have been made to
templates
. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "
⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽
" each time they want to add another parameter. (
T95696
) The team added a
new property for TemplateData
, "
Exemple
", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (
T53049
The
design
of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of
non-existent images
. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

Hi everyone.
Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has
been working
towards enabling
HTTPS
by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.
Forced HTTPS
has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.
Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(Sorry for writing in English)
When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.
We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to
d:Wikidata:Contact the development team
A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.
How to use it, once it is enabled:
Parser function:
{{#property:P36|from=Q183}}
to get the capital from the item about Germany
Lua: see
mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua

As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here.

For
interface messages
(translated at
translatewiki.net
), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (
+21.7%
). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For
documentation messages
(on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (
+20.3%
). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs
showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Auto-fill features for citations
can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the
citoid service
to convert a
URL
or
DOI
into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick,
simple process at mediawiki.org
. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
Your wiki can customize the first section of the
special character inserter
in VisualEditor. Please follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a
CAPTCHA
and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit
Vega-based graphs
. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The team will be changing the
appearance of selected links
inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A
recent controlled trial
showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the
July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase
. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.
Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "
Passer à l’éditeur visuel
".
The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.
You can read and help translate
the user guide
, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the
VisualEditor Team
has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports
on mediawiki.org
. Their workboard is available
in Phabricator
. Their
current priorities
are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Educational features:
The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the
Lien
and
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (
T108620
) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (
T112354
) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links:
It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (
T74108
T91285
) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (
T109498
T110347
T63558
) These
"magic links"
use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads:
Registered editors can now
upload images
and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "
Insérer
Images et médias
" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile:
Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (
T85630
) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (
T111894
) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "
Supprimer
" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (
T62110
) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools:
You can now add and edit
sheet
music
in the visual editor. (
T112925
) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (
T114227
T113354
) When editing
formulæ
and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of
graphs
; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the
English Wikipedia
, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under
Special:Preferences
Future changes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
You will soon be able to
switch from the wikitext to the visual editor
after you start editing. (
T49779
) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a
single edit tab.
T102398
) This project will combine the "
Sepe
" and "
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
" tabs into a single "
Sepe
" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "
Sepe
" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Community Wishlist Survey
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
The
Community Tech team
at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a
Community Wishlist Survey
to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Hello!
Wikimania 2016
scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see
Scholarship committee
for details.
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can
volunteer as "ambassador"
: you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate
scholarship applications written in your language
to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
This is a message regarding the
proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner
Translations
are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a
straw poll seeking your involvement
has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist,
Bassel Khartabil
. An exemplary
banner
and an
explanatory page
have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking
your involvement to decide
if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to
get involved with the poll and the discussion
to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

Translations
are available.
As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their
events on Meta Page
. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
Join/host an event
. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
Talk to local press
. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a
handy summary
of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a
press release template
and
resources on working with the media
, are also available.
Design a Wikipedia 15 logo
. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
Share a message on social media
. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
Everything is linked on the
Wikipedia 15 Meta page
. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a
list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos
that community members have already designed.
If you have any questions, please contact
Zachary McCune
or
Joe Sutherland
Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

Did you know?
A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to
Special:Preferences
and choosing the setting that you want:
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.
You can read and help translate
the user guide
, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the
visual editor team
has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available
in Phabricator
. Their
current priorities
are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
You can
switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor
after you start editing.
The
LaTeX mathematics formula editor
has been significantly expanded. (

You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
Future changes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The
single edit tab
project will combine the "
Sepe
" and "
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
" tabs into a single "
Sepe
" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (
T102398
T58337
) Initially, the "
Sepe
" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the
Modification
tab of
Special:Preferences
in the drop-down menu about "
Mode de modification :
".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016:
Amharic
Buginese
Min Dong
Cree
Manx
Hakka
Armenian
Georgian
Pontic
Serbo-Croatian
Tigrinya
Mingrelian
Zhuang
, and
Min Nan
. (
T116523
) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at
the feedback thread on mediawiki.org
. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the
feedback pages
for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (

Testing opportunities
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Please try the new system for the
single edit tab
on
test2.wikipedia.org
. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences.
Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at
the feedback topic on mediawiki.org
or
sign up for formal user research
(type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
Se souvenir de mon dernier éditeur utilisé
Toujours utiliser l’éditeur visuel quand c’est possible
Toujours m’afficher l’éditeur de source
, and
Afficher les deux onglets de modification
. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?
Language engineer
David Chan
needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at

Hello, all.
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)
Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion,
2016 Strategy/Community consultation
Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created
m:2016 Strategy/Translations
to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made.
:)
If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.
I hope you'll join us!

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will be testing its newest data center in Dallas.
This will make sure 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 conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the new data center on
Tuesday, 19 April
On
Thursday, 21 April
, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in
MediaWiki
, all editing must stop during those two switches.
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 approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
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.
There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.
No non-essential code deployments will take place.
This test was originally planned to take place on March 22.
April 19th and 21st are the new dates.
You can
read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org
They will post any changes on that schedule.
There will be more notifications about this.

Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list
Compact Language Links
has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in
the documentation
From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. Using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under
User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages
The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the
project talk page
or on this discussion thread. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on
this phabricator ticket
(in English).
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use
MassMessage
for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team:

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit

Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ‘’featured articles and lists’’ to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an
overview and more information there
. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia’s diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Save/Publish
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The
Editing
team is planning to change the name of the
Enregistrer
button to
Publier la page
and
Publier les modifications
. “
Publier la page
” will be used when you create a new page. “
Publier les modifications
” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.
This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in
Tech News
when it happens.
If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for
Publier la page
and
Publier les modifications
The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that
Enregistrer
would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “
Enregistrer
” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.
Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The
Legal team
at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.
Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes
{{int:Publishpage}}
and
{{int:Publishchanges}}
to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in
your account preferences
, these wikitext codes produce “
Publier la page
” and “
Publier les modifications
”.
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Wikipedia to the Moon working phase
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Dear Sango Wikipedia language community,
First of all, I am sorry to write this in English.
You may already have heard about
Wikipedia to the Moon
: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them. Because Wikipedia is so big, we cannot send all of it to the moon. That is why the international Wikipedia-community has voted to send all “Featured Articles and Featured Lists“ from all languages in Wikipedia.
“Featured Articles“
is a category in many language versions of Wikipedia that collects the very best articles in that language. Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like
you
to tell us what the very best articles in your language are.
There are two ways you could do this:
1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon
2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list
here
, we will also take the articles to the moon.
The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016. After that date, we will put all the Featured Articles and Lists onto a special disc and give it to the “PT Scientists.” They will take the Wikipedia articles into space next year.

Did you know?
Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate
the user guide
, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the
VisualEditor Team
has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available
in Phabricator
. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at
mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings
. Their
current priorities
are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a
beta feature
, and improving language support.
Recent changes

You can now set text as small or big.
Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.
A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.
Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.
At many wikis, you can now add
maps
to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.
The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.
In the future, the "
Enregistrer
" button will say "
Publier la page
". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More
information is available on Meta
Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.
Future changes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10
"Phase 6" Wikipedias
during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at
the feedback thread on mediawiki.org
. This will affect several languages, including
Thai
Burmese
and
Aramaic
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The
2017 wikitext editor
will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a
general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.
Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.
In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.
Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation.

New way to edit wikitext
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Summary
: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a
wikitext mode for the visual editor
. Please
go try it out
We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving
the visual editor
based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.
Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the
citoid service
for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.
All wikis now have access to this mode as a
Beta Feature
. When enabled, it replaces your existing
wikitext editor
everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an
opt-in-only
Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "
Activer automatiquement la plupart des fonctionnalités en phase bêta
".
The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the
current wikitext editor
). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and
vice versa
), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to
work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work
with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.
This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode
on the feedback page
. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.
Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki
The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the
Wikimedia-l mailing list
, and posted
on Meta-Wiki
. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well.
to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:
Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.
There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:
Track A (organized groups)
: Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).
Track B (individual contributors):
On Meta
or your
local language or project wiki
This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?
We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

The goal of this process is to fill the
three community-selected seats
on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are
inclusive
, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. 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 conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on
Wednesday, 19 April 2017
On
Wednesday, 3 May 2017
, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in
MediaWiki
, all editing must stop during those two switches. 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 approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
(15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
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.
There will be code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.
Please share this information with your community.

Wikidata description editing in the Wikipedia Android app
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Wikidata description editing
is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android. While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results.
We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive
results
including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.
We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities.
As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at
the talk page for this project
or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

New Page previews feature
Read this message in another language
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Hello,
The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable
Page previews
a beta feature
known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017.
A quick note on the implementation:
For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from
their user preferences
page.
For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.
For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.
You can read more about
the feature
and
the tests we used to evaluate performance
, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions
on the talk page

A new
visual diff tool
is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components.
The team have added
multi-column support for lists of footnotes
. The
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can
request multi-column support
for your wiki.
You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this.
The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow.
The
Catégories
item has been moved to the top of the
Options de page
menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access.
There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there.
You can now create
tags (sometimes used as
) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor.
Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed.
The
Caractères spéciaux
menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer,

A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption.
There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:
Control
Shift
on a PC, or
Command
Shift
on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is
Control
or
Command
respectively.
Future changes

The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of
tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017.
The kind of button used to
Prévisualiser
Voir les modifications
, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use
OOjs UI
. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding
&ooui=1
to the end of the URL, like this:
The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.
The
outdated 2006 wikitext editor
will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See

Prototype for editing Wikidata infoboxes on Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello,
I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.
One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.
The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal:
fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia
, via the Visual Editor.
We already
asked for feedback in 2015
, and collected some interesting ideas which we
shared with you in this thesis
. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.
We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.
You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video,
on this page
. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks,
Lea Lacroix (WMDE)
RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider
will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the
German Community’s Technical Wishlist
. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello all,
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.
You may know that
Wikidata
provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.
This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.
This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.
If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment
on the Phabricator ticket
Thanks go to

Page Previews (Hovercards) update

Hello,
A quick update on the progress of enabling
Page Previews
(previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs.
Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a
beta feature
. For more information see

page, and add
&fuzzy=1
to the URL, like this:
. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via
or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using
&fuzzy=0
in the URL, like this:
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Discussion on synced reading lists
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Discussion on synced reading lists
Hello,
The Reading Infrastructure team at the Wikimedia Foundation is developing a cross-platform reading list service for the mobile Wikipedia app. Reading lists are like bookmark folders in your web browser. They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way.
To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose.
Background
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.
The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent
technical RfC
has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.
Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future.
Why not watchlists
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways:
Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions.
The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.
By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.
More information can be found on MediaWiki.org
where feedback and ideas are welcome.
Thank you

presenting the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory and asking for a vounteer in Sängö Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello everyone,
My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the
Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory
in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.
I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions (one particular type of systemic bias). For instance, this would help spreading cultural content local to Sängö Wikipedia into the rest of Wikipedia language editions, and viceversa, make Sängö Wikipedia much more multicultural.
Here is the link of the project proposal:
I am searching for a volunteer in each language community: I still need one for the Sängö Wikipedia. If you feel like it, you can contact me at: marcmiquel *at* gmail.com I need a contact in your every community who can (1) check the quality of the cultural context article list I generate to be imported-exported to other language editions, (2) test the interface/data visualizations in their language, and (3) communicate the existance of the tool/site when ready to the language community and especially to those editors involved in projects which could use it or be aligned with it. Communicating it might not be a lot of work, but it will surely have a greater impact if done in native language!
:).
If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it in the page I provided.
In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Thanks in advance for your time! Best regards, --
Marcmiquel

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it
easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from
the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India
. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The
prototype evaluation
received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF.
Mobile print styles
will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Mapframe
is a feature that enables users to easily display interactive maps right on wiki pages. Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But
fifteen Wikipedias
, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages.
A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s
Collaboration team
has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable.
Nine Wikipedias
that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release.
Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know
on the project talk page
. Unless we hear from you, we plan to release mapframe to most Wikipedias in May, 2018. So, if you foresee an issue, please let us hear from you. Otherwise, happy mapping!

Update on page issues on mobile web
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Hi everyone. The
Readers web team
has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have
drafted a proposal on the design and implementation
of the project. We were also able to run
user testing on the proposed designs
. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
Readers care about page issues and consider them important
Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please
visit the project page
where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please
leave feedback on the talk page

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like
MediaWiki:Common.css
and
MediaWiki:Vector.js
which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group,
interface-admin
, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with
.css
or
.js
that is either in the
MediaWiki:
namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change
here
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats).
This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Enabling a helpful feature for Template editors
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello.
The team working on TemplateStyles at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable TemplateStyles on this wiki.
TemplateStyles is a feature to allow non-administrators to write and manage CSS styles for templates. It allows contributors who edit templates to separate content and presentation. A good web practice that makes it easier to manage the layout of templates. If you don't edit templates, this will not have any impact on your contributions.
TemplateStyles is useful for a few reasons.
It makes it possible for templates to work better on mobile.
It cuts out confusion on where to apply CSS rules.
Editing CSS is currently limited to administrators, which is a major barrier to participation.
All stylesheets must be loaded on all pages (whether they actually use the page or not), which wastes bandwidth and makes debugging style rules more difficult.
You can
learn more about TemplateStyles on MediaWiki.org
Technical documentation is also available
This is an optional feature and no one must use it, but template contributors are encouraged to do so! Please discuss and let us know if there are any concerns. If there are no concerns we will proceed to deploy the feature on the 9th of August.
Thank you.

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will be testing its secondary data centre. 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.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on
Wednesday, 12 September 2018
On
Wednesday, 10 October 2018
, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in
MediaWiki
, all editing must stop when we switch. 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, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
(15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
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.
There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.
Please share this information with your community.

Example of improvements
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like
Template:Unreferenced
or
Template:More citations needed
. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have
some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly
and also further
documentation on our work so far
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile,
please leave a note on the project talk page
or
file a task in Phabricator

Talk to us about talking
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a
global consultation about communication
. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
First,
sign up your group here.
Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
Finally, please go to
Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org
and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us
how your group communicates
You can read more about
the overall process
on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can
leave feedback about the consultation process
in the language you prefer.

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it
:)
Hello all,
Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of
Wikidata
, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles.
This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.
This is the reason why the
Wikidata Bridge
project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.
The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of
user research
has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of
development
will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.
In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.
Here’s the planned timeline:
From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
but we also welcome also communities who
volunteer to be part of the first test round
Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.
In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.
If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:
Read and help translating
the documentation pages
Follow the
updates
and participate in
the first feedback loop
Talk about it with your local community
More ideas will be added
on this page
along the way
If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them
on the main talk page
. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.
Thanks for your attention,

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the
mobile site
. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
Section editing
The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
The team studied this with an A/B test.
This test showed
that contributors who could use section editing were
1% more likely to publish
the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
Loading overlay
The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are
now available to everyone
using the mobile visual editor.

Hello all,
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team
announced
a future consultation about partial and/or temporary
office actions
. We want to let you know that the
draft version
of this consultation has now been
posted on Meta
This is a
draft
. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted.
Please post it on the draft talk page
. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit
the consultation draft on Meta-wiki
and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.
Thank you for your input! -- The

New tools and IP masking
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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.

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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Bonjour
. 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.
Merci !

Beta feature "Reference Previews"
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki:
Reference Previews
. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.
Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found
on the project page
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your
user preferences
and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the
central talk page
. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's

The

was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The
Phase 2 Report
of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here:

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.
You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at
the planned feature
. Let us know what you think on our

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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,

Merci !
At times, our contributor communities and projects have suffered from a lack of guidelines that can help us create an environment where free knowledge can be shared safely without fear.
There has been talk about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time.
Recently, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced a
Community Culture Statement
, asking for new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.
The universal code of conduct will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, and will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe. It is of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC and its values. We should think about what we want it to cover or include and what it shouldn’t include, and how it may create difficulties or help our groups.
This is the time to talk about it. Before starting drafting the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you and to solicit the opinions and feedback of your colleagues.
In order for your voice to be heard, we encourage and invite you to read more about
the universal code of conduct (UCoC)
and then write down your opinions or feedback
on the discussion page
To reduce language barriers during the process, you are welcome to translate
the universal code of conduct main page
from English into your respective local language. You and your community may choose to provide your opinions/feedback using your local languages.

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
The
FileExporter and FileImporter
will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history.
How does it work?
Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.
Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's
configuration file
which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.
Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.
If you want to know more about the
FileImporter extension

Technical Wishes Project

The
Wikimedia Foundation
will be testing its secondary data centre. 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.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on
Tuesday, September 1st 2020
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 Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
(15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
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.
There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.

Important: maintenance operation on October 27
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Read this message in another language
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
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.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on
Tuesday, October 27 2020
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 Tuesday, October 27. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
(14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28).
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.
There will be code freezes for the week of October 26, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.

Update to ICU Unicode library
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour
I apologize for sending a message in English.
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
. According to
the list
, your wiki project currently is opted in to the
global bot policy
. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.
As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.
proposal
was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely,
global sysops
and
global renamers
, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like
ListeriaBot
By this message, I would like to invite you to comment
in the global RFC
, to voice your opinion about this matter.
Thank you for your time.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
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,
Wikipedia
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,

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.

Global bot policy changes

Bonjour
I apologize for sending a message in English.
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
. According to
the list
, your wiki project is currently opted in to the
global bot policy
. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the
global RfC
was closed.
Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at
Bot policy/New global bot discussion
on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Thanks for the fish!

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (
Source
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of
the Reply Tool
. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped
newer editors
communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were
more likely
to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also
less likely
to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to
resolve a technical challenge
. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the
Wikipedias that participated in the study
. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Thank you for participating in the
2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the
Elections Committee
completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.
6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the
data produced during the election
Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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.

Server switch

Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
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.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on
Tuesday, 14 September 2021
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 Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
(07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
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.
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.

Le conseil d'administration prépare un appel à commentaires pour les prochaines élections du conseil d'administration, du 7 janvier au 10 février 2022.
Les détails seront finalisés la semaine précédant l'appel, mais nous avons confirmé au moins deux questions qui seront posées lors de cet appel à commentaires:
Quelle est la meilleure façon d'assurer une représentation équitable des communautés émergentes au sein du conseil?
Quelle doit être la participation des candidat.e.s pendant l'élection?
Bien que d'autres questions puissent être ajoutées, l'équipe Stratégie et gouvernance du mouvement souhaite donner le temps aux membres de la communauté et aux affiliés de réfléchir et de préparer des idées sur les questions confirmées avant l'ouverture de l'appel. Nous nous excusons de ne pas avoir une liste complète de questions pour le moment. La liste des questions ne devrait s'allonger que d'une ou deux questions. L'intention n'est pas de submerger la communauté de demandes, mais de l'informer et de recueillir ses réactions sur ces questions importantes.

Hello everyone,
vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022
is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments.
Read voter information and eligibility details.
During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.
The
Universal Code of Conduct
(UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The
revised enforcement guidelines
were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A
Wikimedia Foundation Board statement
calls for a
ratification process
where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to
translate and share important information
. For more information about the UCoC, please see the
project page
and
frequently asked questions
on Meta-wiki.
There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:
community panel
on 18 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.

Ces conversations publiques s’inscrivent dans
la « tournée d’écoute » de la directrice générale de la Wikimedia Foundation
Maryana Iskander
Les conversations publiques portent sur les points suivants :
La
Stratégie 2030 du mouvement Wikimedia
définit nos orientations vers la « connaissance comme service » et « l’équité des connaissances ». La Wikimedia Foundation veut définir son projet selon ces deux objectifs. Comment, selon-vous, la Wikimedia Foundation doit-elle les appliquer à notre travail ?
La Wikimedia Foundation continue d’étudier la meilleure manière de travailler au niveau régional. Notre régionalisation s’est accentuée dans des domaines tels que les subventions, les nouvelles fonctionnalités et les consultations communautaires. Qu’est-ce qui fonctionne bien ? Qu’est-ce que nous pouvons améliorer ?
Tout le monde peut contribuer au processus de la Stratégie du mouvement. Mettons en commun nos activités, idées, demandes et les leçons que nous avons appris. Comment la Wikimedia Foundation peut-elle soutenir davantage les bénévoles et organisations affiliées qui travaillent sur la Stratégie du mouvement ?
Vous pouvez consulter

Les prochaines étapes du processus du Code de Conduite Universel (UCoC) et de ses directives d'application.

Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Le comité des Affaires Communautaires du conseil d'administration de la Wikimedia Foundation souhaite remercier tous ceux et celles qui ont participé au vote de la communauté sur les directives d'application du Code de Conduite Universel (UCoC).
Le groupe de scrutateurs bénévoles a terminé la vérification de l'exactitude du vote et a indiqué que le nombre total de votes reçus était de 2 283. Sur les 2 283 votes reçus, un total de 1 338 (58,6
%) membres de la communauté ont voté pour les directives d'application et un total de 945 (41,4
%) membres de la communauté ont voté contre. En outre, 658 participants ont laissé des commentaires, dont 77
% étaient rédigés en anglais.
Nous reconnaissons et apprécions la passion et l'engagement dont les membres de la communauté ont fait preuve pour créer une culture sûre et accueillante qui met fin aux comportements hostiles et toxiques, soutient les personnes visées par ces comportements et encourage les personnes de bonne foi à être productives sur les projets Wikimedia.
Même à ce stade où le processus n'est pas encore achevé, cela est évident dans les commentaires reçus. Bien que les directives d'application aient atteint le seuil de soutien nécessaire pour que le conseil d'administration les examine, nous avons encouragé les électeurs, quel que soit leur vote, à faire part de leurs commentaires sur les éléments des directives d'application qui, selon eux, devaient être modifiés ou corrigés, ainsi que sur les raisons de ces modifications, au cas où il semblerait judicieux de lancer une nouvelle série de modifications qui répondraient aux préoccupations de la communauté.
Le personnel de la Fondation qui a passé en revue les commentaires, nous a informés de certains des thèmes émergents, et en conséquence, nous avons décidé, en tant que Comité des Affaires Communautaires, de demander à la Fondation de reconvoquer le comité de rédaction et d'entreprendre un autre engagement communautaire pour affiner les directives d'application sur la base des commentaires de la communauté reçus lors du vote qui vient de se terminer.
Pour plus de clarté, ces commentaires ont été regroupés en 4 sections comme suit
Identifier le type, le but et l'applicabilité de la formation
Simplifier la langue pour faciliter la traduction et la compréhension par les non-experts
Explorer le concept d'affirmation, y compris ses avantages et ses inconvénients
Revoir les rôles contradictoires de la vie privée/protection des victimes et du droit d'être entendu.
D'autres questions peuvent émerger au cours des conversations, et en particulier au fur et à mesure de l'évolution du projet de directives d'application, mais nous considérons que ce sont les principaux domaines de préoccupation des électeurs, électrices et nous demandons au personnel de faciliter l'examen de ces questions. Après un engagement plus poussé, la Fondation devrait organiser à nouveau le vote de la communauté pour évaluer le projet de directives d'application remanié afin de voir si le nouveau document est alors prêt pour sa ratification officielle.
De plus, nous sommes conscients des préoccupations relatives à la note 3.1 du Code de Conduite Universel. Nous demandons à la Fondation de faciliter la révision de cette note afin de s'assurer que le texte répond à ses objectifs de soutien à une communauté sûre et inclusive, sans attendre la révision prévue de l'ensemble du texte à la fin de l'année.
Encore une fois, nous remercions toutes celles et tous ceux qui ont participé, qui ont réfléchi à ces enjeux cruciaux et difficiles et qui ont contribué à de meilleures approches dans l'ensemble du mouvement pour bien travailler ensemble.
Bien à vous,
Rosie

Appel à bénévoles des élections

Bonjour,
L'équipe Stratégie et gouvernance du mouvement recherche des membres de la communauté pour servir de bénévoles des élections lors de la prochaine élection du conseil d'administration.
Le programme de bénévoles des élections a commencé en 2021 lors de l'élection du conseil d'administration de la Wikimedia Foundation. Ce programme s'est avéré être un succès. Avec l'aide des bénévoles des élections, nous avons pu augmenter la sensibilisation et la participation à l'élection de 1 753 électeurs par rapport à 2017. Le taux de participation global était de 10,13
%, soit 1,1 point de pourcentage de plus, et 214 wikis étaient représentés lors de l'élection.
Mais un total de 74 wikis qui n'ont pas participé en 2017 ont voté à l'élection de 2021. Pouvez-vous aider à améliorer la participation lors des élections de cette année
Les bénévoles des élections apporteront leur aide dans les domaines suivants
Traduire des messages courts et annoncer le processus électoral en cours dans les canaux communautaires.
Facultatif
: Suivre les canaux de communication communautaires pour recueillir les commentaires et les questions de la communauté
Les bénévoles doivent
Maintenir la politique de l'espace convivial pendant les conversations et les événements.
Présenter les directives et les informations de vote à la communauté de manière neutre.

Les votant.es ont eu la possibilité de faire des commentaires sur le contenu du projet de document. 658 participant.es ont laissé des commentaires. 77% des commentaires sont rédigés en anglais. Les votant.es ont exprimé leurs opinions dans 24 langues, les plus nombreuses étant l'anglais (508), l'allemand (34), le japonais (28), le français (25) et le russe (12).

Bonjour,
Après le vote de la communauté sur les directives d'application de l'UCoC en mars, le
Comité des affaires communautaires (CAC)
du Conseil
a demandé que plusieurs points des directives soient revus pour être améliorés
avant que le Conseil ne procède à son examen final. Ces points ont été identifiés sur la base des discussions communautaires et des commentaires fournis lors du vote. Le CAC a également demandé la révision de la note controversée de la section 3.1 de l'UCoC.
Une fois de plus, un grand merci à toutes les personnes qui ont voté, en particulier à celles qui ont fait des commentaires constructifs et des remarques
! L'équipe travaille avec le conseil d'administration pour établir un calendrier pour ce travail, et le communiquera le mois prochain.
Les membres des deux précédents
comités de rédaction de l'UCoC
ont généreusement offert leur temps pour contribuer à l'amélioration des directives. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur eux et leur travail
ici
, et lire les
résumés de leurs réunions hebdomadaires de cette année
Les membres de la communauté ont fait de nombreux commentaires précieux lors du vote et dans d'autres conversations. Étant donné la taille et la diversité de la communauté Wikimedia, il y a encore plus de voix qui peuvent donner des idées sur la façon d'améliorer les directives d'application et ajouter des idées encore plus précieuses au processus. Afin d'aider le comité de révision à identifier les améliorations à apporter, nous vous demandons de répondre à plusieurs questions qui seront soumises à l'examen du comité. Visitez les pages Meta-wiki (
Discussions sur la révision des directives d'application
Discussions sur la révision du texte de l'UcoC
) pour faire part de vos idées au comité. Il est très important que les points de vue des différentes communautés soient entendus avant que le comité ne commence à rédiger des propositions de révision.

Bonjour,
Dans le cadre des
élections 2022 du conseil d'administration,
des volontaires sont
invités à proposer des déclarations à utiliser dans la boussole électorale
Une boussole électorale est un outil destiné à aider les électrices et les électeurs à choisir les candidates et les candidats qui correspondent le mieux à leurs convictions et à leurs opinions. Les membres de la communauté proposeront des déclarations auxquelles les candidates et les candidats devront répondre en utilisant une échelle de Lickert (d'accord/neutre/désaccord). Les réponses des candidats aux déclarations seront chargées dans l'outil Boussole électorale. Les électrices et électeurs utiliseront l'outil en entrant leur réponse aux déclarations (d'accord/désaccord/neutre). Les résultats montreront les candidates et les candidats qui correspondent le mieux aux croyances et aux opinions de l'électeur ou de l'électrice.
Pour proposer une déclaration, il suffit d'accéder à
cette page Meta-wiki
Les 15 meilleures déclarations seront sélectionnées par le comité des élections au début du mois d'août.
Voici le calendrier
Du 8 au 20 juillet
: les volontaires proposent des déclarations pour la boussole électorale.
Du 21 au 22 juillet
: le comité des élections vérifie que les déclarations sont claires et supprime les déclarations hors sujet.
Du 23 juillet au 1er août
: les volontaires votent les déclarations.
Du 2 au 4 août
: le comité des élections sélectionne les 15 meilleures déclarations.
Du 5 au 12 août
: les candidates et candidats se positionnent par rapport aux déclarations.
15 août
: ouverture de la boussole électorale afin que les électrices et électeurs puissent l'utiliser pour orienter leur décision de vote.
Le comité des élections supervisera le processus, avec le soutien de l'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement. Elle vérifiera que les déclarations sont claires, qu'il n'y a pas de doublons, pas de fautes de frappe, etc.
Bien à vous,
L'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement

Bonjour,
Je vous informe aujourd'hui d'un changement dans le calendrier du vote pour l'élection du conseil d'administration.
Comme beaucoup d'entre vous le savent déjà, nous proposons cette année une
boussole électorale
pour aider les électeurs et électrices à identifier le positionnement des personnes qui se sont portées candidates sur certains sujets clés. Plusieurs d'entre elles ont demandé une extension de la limite du nombre de caractères pour leurs réponses développant leurs positions, et le comité des élections a estimé que leur raisonnement était conforme aux objectifs d'un processus électoral juste et équitable.
Pour garantir que les déclarations/affirmations les plus longues puissent être traduites à temps pour l'élection, le comité des élections et le groupe de travail pour la sélection des membres du conseil d'administration ont décidé de reporter d'une semaine l'ouverture du vote de l'élection du conseil d'administration - une période proposée comme idéale par l'équipe qui soutient l'élection.
Bien que l'on ne s'attende pas à ce que tout le monde veuille utiliser la boussole électorale pour éclairer sa décision de vote, le comité des élections a estimé qu'il était plus approprié d'ouvrir la période de vote avec des traductions essentielles que les membres de la communauté, quelle que soit leur langue, pourront utiliser s'ils souhaitent prendre cette décision importante.
Le vote sera ouvert le 23 août à 00:00 UTC et se terminera le 6 septembre à 23:59 UTC.
Bien à vous,
Matanya, de la part du comité des élections,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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.
Top of an article
Vector legacy (current default)
Vector 2022
A section of an article

About the skin
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
[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?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022
. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
Request for more time to discuss the change
If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the
talk page of the project

L'habillage Vector 2022 par défaut dans deux semaines
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Les diapositives de notre présentation à Wikimania 2022
Bonjour
je vous écris pour le compte de l'
Équipe Web de la Fondation Wikimédia
Dans deux semaines, nous aimerions que Vector 2022 devienne l'habillage par défaut sur ce wiki.
Nous y travaillons depuis trois ans. Jusqu'à présent, il a été adopté par défaut sur plus de 30 wikis, y compris des projets frères, qui représentent plus d'un milliard d'accès aux pages par mois. En moyenne,
87
% des utilisateurs actifs connectés
de ces wikis utilisent Vector 2022.
Il deviendrait l'habillage par défaut pour tous les utilisateurs non connectés, ainsi que pour tous les utilisateurs connectés qui actuellement utilisent Vector Legacy. Les utilisateurs connectés peuvent à tout moment adopter n'importe
quel autre habillage
. Aucun changement est prévu pour les utilisateurs de ces habillages.
En haut de la page
Vector Legacy (l'actuelle interface par défaut)
Vector 2022
Une section d'une page
Vector Legacy (l'interface par défaut actuelle)
Vector 2022
À propos de l'interface
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
[Pourquoi un changement est-il nécessaire]
L'actuelle interface par défaut répondait aux attentes des lecteurs et des contributeurs tels qu'ils étaient il y a 13 ans. Depuis lors, de nouveaux utilisateurs ont commencé à utiliser les projets Wikimédia.
L'ancienne interface Vector ne répond pas à leurs attentes.
[But]
Le but visé par le nouvel habillage est de rendre l'interface plus accueillante et confortable pour les lecteurs, et plus utile pour les utilisateurs expérimentés. Il s'inspire des demandes préalables, de la
Consultation des souhaits de la communauté
, des gadgets et des scripts. Ce travail a permis à notre code de respecter les standards et d'améliorer tous les autres habillages.
Nous avons réduit de 75
% le code PHP dans les habillages déployés par la Wikimédia
. Le projet s'est également attaché à faciliter la prise en charge des gadgets et l'utilisation des API.
[Changements et résultats des tests]
L'habillage introduit une
série de changements
qui améliorent la lisibilité et l'utilisabilité. Le nouvel habillage ne supprime aucune des fonctionnalités actuellement disponibles sur l'ancien Vector.
L'entête figé permet de trouver plus facilement les outils que les contributeurs utilisent couramment. Il diminue de 16
% le défilement vers le haut de la page.
Le nouveau sommaire facilite la navigation entre les diverses sections. Les lecteurs et les contributeurs sont passé d'une section à l'autre de la page 50
% plus souvent qu'avec l'ancien sommaire. L'apparence est également un peu différente sur les pages de discussion.
La nouvelle barre de recherche est plus facile à trouver et facilite la découverte du résultat de la recherche correct à partir d'une liste. Cela a augmenté le nombre de recherches lancées de 30
% sur les wikis que nous avons testés.
L'habillage n'affecte pas négativement les pages visitées, les taux d'édition ou la création de comptes. Il est prouvé que les communautés partenaires ont connu une augmentation du nombre de pages visitées et de comptes créés.
[Essayez-le]
Essayez le nouvel habillage, en allant dans l'onglet Apparence de
vos préférences
et en sélectionnant Vector 2022 dans la liste des habillages.
Comment les utilisateurs peuvent-ils modifier et personnaliser cet habillage
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Il est possible de configurer et personnaliser nos changements. Nous fournissons le support aux volontaires qui créent des nouveaux gadgets et scripts utilisateur. Consultez
notre dépôt
pour la liste des personnalisations actuellement disponibles, ou ajoutez les vôtres.
Notre plan
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Si aucun problème majeur n'est soulevé, nous prévoyons le déploiement dans le courant de la semaine du 3 octobre 2022.
Si votre communauté souhaite demander plus de temps pour discuter les changements, cliquez sur le bouton et écrivez-nous. On peut adapter le calendrier.
Demande de temps supplémentaire

Update on Vector 2022
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the
Web team
working on the new skin,
Vector 2022
We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment.
We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week
. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to
reach out to us
and we can help make one.
We invite you to
get involved in the project
. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you!

Bonjour,
À la mi-janvier 2023, les
directives d'application
du
Code de conduite universel
feront l'objet d'un deuxième vote de ratification à l'échelle de la communauté. Cela fait suite au
vote de mars 2022
, qui a abouti à ce qu'une majorité d'électeurs soutienne les directives d'application. Lors de la période du vote, les participants ont aidé à mettre en évidence des préoccupations importantes de la communauté. Le
comité des affaires communautaires
du Conseil d'administration de la fondation Wikimédia a demandé que ces sujets de préoccupation soient examinés.
Le
comité de révision
, dirigé par des bénévoles, a travaillé dur pour examiner les commentaires de la communauté et apporter des modifications. Il a mis à jour les sujets de préoccupation, tels que les exigences de formation et d'affirmation, la confidentialité et la transparence du processus, ainsi que la lisibilité et la traduisibilité du document.
Les directives d'application révisées peuvent être consultées
ici
, et une comparaison des modifications peut être lue
sur ce lien
Comment voter
Le vote sera ouvert à compter du
17 janvier 2023
Cette page sur Méta-wiki
donne des informations sur la manière de voter en utilisant SecurePoll.
Qui peut voter
Les
conditions d'éligibilité
pour ce vote sont les mêmes que pour les élections du Conseil d'administration de la fondation Wikimédia. Veuillez consulter la page d'information des électeurs pour avoir plus de détails sur l'éligibilité. Si vous êtes un électeur éligible, vous pouvez utiliser votre compte Wikimédia pour accéder au serveur de vote.
Que se passe-t-il après le vote?
Les votes seront scrutés par un groupe indépendant de volontaires, et les résultats seront publiés sur Wikimedia-l, le Forum de la Stratégie du Mouvement, Diff et sur Méta-wiki. Les électeurs pourront à nouveau voter et partager leurs préoccupations concernant les directives. Le conseil d'administration examinera les niveaux de soutien et les préoccupations soulevées lorsqu'il étudiera comment les directives d'application devraient être ratifiées ou développées davantage.

Interface bureau
: un nouveau changement en vue
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour
La prochaine semaine, l'
équipe Web
de la Fondation Wikimédia déplacera certains liens de la barre latérale vers la droite de l'écran.
Il sera ainsi plus facile d'utiliser de manière intuitive tous les liens et les outils de notre interface. Avec la barre latérale plus courte, le sommaire apparaîtra à son tour un peu plus en haut de l'écran. Ce dernier changement profitera surtout aux contributeurs, car les lecteurs utilisent beaucoup plus rarement le menu de gauche.
Pourquoi nous changeons cela
Actuellement, notre interface ne fait pas de distinction entre les liens de navigation du wiki et les outils de la page. «
Accueil
», «
Article au hasard
» et «
Modifications récentes
» font partie du premier groupe. «
Pages liées
», «
Suivi des pages liées
», «
Citer cette page
» appartiennent au deuxième. Ce mélange est déroutant pour les nouveaux lecteurs. Les nouveaux contributeurs ne savent pas ce que fait chaque lien de même. Le mélange de ces groupes démotive les gens qui seraient spontanément disposés à découvrir ces outils.
Ce changement répond également à la question de l'emplacement du sommaire. Certains d'entre vous nous avaient indiqué que le sommaire apparaissant sous la barre latérale, était placé trop bas dans la page. Après ce changement, la barre latérale se présentera plus courte et cela permettra d'afficher le sommaire plus en haut sur la page. En outre, ce changement réduira l'espace blanc de la page, en utilisant une plus grande partie de l'espace pour l'affichage des outils.
Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur la
fonctionnalité des outils de la page
et le
projet des Améliorations du bureau
sur MediaWiki.org.
Compatibilité des gadgets

Bonjour,
Le récent vote communautaire sur les
directives d'application révisées du Code de conduite Universel
a été comptabilisé et examiné. Merci à tous ceux qui y ont participé.
Après que 3097 électeurs de 146 communautés Wikimédia ont voté, les résultats sont de 76% en faveur des directives d'application et 24% contre. Les
statistiques
sur le vote sont disponibles. Un résumé plus détaillé des commentaires soumis lors du vote sera publié prochainement.
Maintenant, les résultats et les commentaires recueillis lors de ce vote seront soumis au conseil d'administration pour être examinés. On s'attend actuellement à ce que le processus d'examen du conseil d'administration se termine en mars 2023. Nous vous tiendrons au courant lorsque celui-ci sera terminé.

Comment faire apparaître le bouton des langues en haut de la page d'accueil ?
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Maquette pour frwiki
Bonjour,
avec l'habillage Vector 2022 par défaut, le
liens interlangues
se trouvent tout en bas de la page d'accueil, voir
pourquoi
Si vous voulez les langues en haut, votre communauté est invitée à en discuter avant, pour trouver un accord sur le changement à apporter
: voir
comment les faire apparaître en haut
en ayant un « titre » en page d'accueil, avec ou sans texte, au choix. Je copie ci-dessous un passage de la FAQ qui pourrait vous intéresser, avec quelques ajouts
Le « titre » s'affichera sur Vector 2010, Minerva, Timeless et Vector 2022. Ne sera pas visible sur Monobook.
Le « titre » peut être configuré en modifiant
MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin
pour les utilisateurs connectés et
MediaWiki:Mainpage-title
pour les utilisateurs non connectés. Pour les utilisateurs connectés sur mobile, il faudra modifier
MediaWiki:wikimedia-mobile-mainpage-title-loggedin
. Voir les détails qui concernent les paramètres de la page d'accueil.
Testez à quoi ressemble la page d'accueil et comment elle fonctionne avec le bouton en haut de la page, en ajoutant le paramètre
?vectorlanguageinmainpageheader=1
à la fin de l'URL. La
page d'accueil de la Wikipédia en basque
affiche une phrase de bienvenue dans le titre. C'est
le choix de la Wikipédia en français
aussi, qui attend ce changement. Vous pouvez également voir l'
exemple de la Wikipédia en islandais
, qui n'a pas de « titre » configuré, donc seul le bouton apparaît.
Notifiez-moi (
ou contactez l'équipe Web
) pour demander le déplacement du bouton des langues vers le haut. L'Équipe Web demandera la modification des paramètres de votre wiki. Si vous préférez, vous pouvez ouvrir directement une tâche sur Phabricator. Dans le cas votre choix se porte sur le message de bienvenue, il suffit d'ajouter votre demande avec le lien de la discussion dans le ticket
T325362
. Une fois le changement effectué, le bouton sera visible en haut de la page avec Vector 2022. Avec d'autres habillages, la liste des liens des langues s'affichera à l'emplacement par défaut, qui est différent pour chaque habillage.
Merci !

La
Fondation Wikimedia
teste le basculement entre ses centres de données primaire et secondaire. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe. Pour être certain que tout fonctionne, le département Technologie de Wikimedia doit planifier un test. Ce test permettra de vérifier qu’il est possible de basculer d’un centre de données à un autre. Pour cela, beaucoup d’équipes doivent se préparer pour le test et être prêtes à réparer tout problème imprévu.
Le trafic sera basculé le
1 mars
. Le test débutera à
14:00 UTC
(10:00 au Québec, 14:00 en Afrique de l'Ouest, 15:00 en Europe continentale et en Afrique centrale).
Malheureusement, à cause de certaines limites de
MediaWiki
, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur.
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le
mercredi 1 mars 2023
Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences
Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains code particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessite.
GitLab
sera indisponible durant 90 minutes environ.
Ce projet peut être remis à plus tard en cas de nécessité. Vous pouvez
consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier. Il y aura d’autres annonces à propos de cet événement. Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération.
Merci de partager ces informations avec votre communauté.

Vector 2022
: un changement pour les utilisateurs non connectés
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Les Outils quand le menu est fermé (cercle rouge)
Bonjour à toutes et tous,
La dernière semaine nous avons introduit le
menu des Outils de la page
pour les utilisateurs non connectés. Pour les utilisateurs connectés, il est disponible depuis janvier 2023.
Le menu permet de séparer les outils qui concernent le wiki en général des outils liés à une page spécifique. Dans le premier groupe on trouve, par exemple, «
Accueil
» et «
Page au hasard
». Dans le deuxième groupe il y a, par exemple, «
Pages liées
» et «
Suivi des pages liées
». Le nouveau menu rassemble les outils spécifiques à la page dans une seule liste. Avant, certains de ces liens étaient soit dans le menu principale (la barre latérale) soit dans le
More Menu
(à côté de l'Historique). Notre objectif est de permettre aux nouveaux lecteurs et rédacteurs de comprendre plus facilement la fonction de ces liens.
Le menu peut également être épinglé et désépinglé selon les nécessités des utilisateurs. Il est figé aussi, c'est à dire qu'il reste en place quand on fait défiler la page vers le bas. En outre, pour les utilisateurs connectés, le menu est persistant. Cela signifie qu'ils voient le menu dans l'état qu'ils ont choisi, épinglé ou pas, même en actualisant la page ou en ouvrant une nouvelle. Cependant, pour les utilisateurs non connectés il n'est pas persistant. Nous espérons ajouter cette fonctionnalité à l'avenir.
Avantage supplémentaire amené par ce changement, le sommaire s'affiche plus en haut sur la page. Aujourd'hui, il faut faire défiler vers le bas plus rarement pour voir le sommaire. C'était l'une des préoccupations que nous avons entendues ces derniers jours et nous espérons que cela y répondra.

La
Fondation Wikimedia
teste la bascule entre ses centres de données primaires et de secours. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe. Pour être certain que tout fonctionne, le département Technologie de Wikimedia doit procéder à un test planifié. Ce test permettra de vérifier qu’il est possible de basculer d’un centre de données à un autre. Cela nécessite des équipes en nombre, pour préparer le test et être prêtes à réparer tout problème imprévu.
Le trafic sera basculé le
26 avril
. Le test débutera à
14:00 UTC
(10:00 au Québec, 14:00 en Afrique de l'Ouest, 15:00 en Europe continentale et en Afrique centrale).
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de
MediaWiki
, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur.
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le
mercredi 26 avril 2023
Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences
Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains code particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.

La moitié des utilisateurs d'ordinateurs de bureau connectés verront une version qui montre les régions du gabarit séparées plus clairement. Cette version inclura des contours et des fonds gris. Après deux semaines, tout le monde verra à nouveau l'interface actuelle sur fond blanc. L'équipe Web analysera les données d'usage des deux versions et prendrons une décision sur les prochaines étapes en juillet.

MinT Machine Translation enabled and plans to deploy Content and Section Translation to Sango Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour
Sango Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
⧼Please help translate⧽
to your language.
The WMF Language team has added a machine translation (MT) system supporting
Content Translation
for the first time in your Wikipedia called MinT; you can use
MinT machine translation
when translating Wikipedia articles using the Content Translation tool.
The WMF Language team provides the MinT service. It is hosted in the Wikimedia Foundation Infrastructure with
neural machine translation
models that other organizations have released with an open-source license. MinT integrates translation based on
NLLB-200
and
OpusMT
and will replace those as separate options. This MT will be set as default in your Wikipedia. Still, you can choose not to use it by selecting "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.
Since MinT is hosted in the WMF Infrastructure and the models are open source, it adheres to Wikipedia's policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user and brand representation. You can find more information about the MinT Machine translation and the models on
this page
Please note that the use of the MinT MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:
use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
please
provide feedback
about the service and its quality, and ask questions about this addition.
Plans to deploy the Content and Section translation tool
Now that you have Machine Translation support in your Wikipedia, We will enable the Content and Section translation by default to your Wikipedia if there are no objections from your community.
The
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
After enabling it, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to try the current implementation of the Section Translation tool in
our testing instance
and raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on
the project talk page
We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content and Section Translation tool once it is enabled.
Thank you!

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the
Feminism and Folklore 2024
writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 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

Sélection 2024 du conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimédia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Vous trouverez ce message traduit dans d'autres langues sur Meta-wiki.

Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
Chers tous et toutes,
Cette année, le mandat de 4 (quatre) membres du conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimédia, sélectionnés par la communauté et les affiliés, arrivera à son terme [1]. Le conseil d'administration invite l'ensemble du mouvement à participer au processus de sélection de cette année et à voter pour pourvoir ces sièges.
Le
Comité des élections
supervisera ce processus avec le soutien du personnel de la Fondation [2]. La Commission de gouvernance du Conseil a créé un groupe de travail sur la sélection des membres du Conseil, composé de Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins et Shani Evenstein Sigalov, qui ne peuvent candidater au processus de sélection des membres du Conseil sélectionnés par la communauté et les affiliés pour l'année 2024 [3]. Ce groupe est chargé de superviser le processus de sélection des membres du conseil d'administration pour 2024 et de tenir le conseil d'administration informé. Pour plus de détails sur les rôles du comité des élections, du conseil d'administration et du personnel, cliquez ici [4].
Voici les dates clés prévues
Mai 2024
: Appel à candidatures et appel à questions
Juin 2024
: Les affiliés votent pour présélectionner 12 candidatures (pas de présélection si 15 candidatures ou moins se présentent) [5].
Juin-août 2024
: Période de la campagne
Fin août / début septembre 2024
: Période de vote communautaire de deux semaines
Octobre-novembre 2024
: Examen des antécédents des candidates et candidats sélectionnés
Réunion du conseil d'administration en décembre 2024
: L'entrée en fonction du nouveau conseil d'administration
Pour en savoir plus sur le processus de sélection de 2024 - y compris le calendrier détaillé, le processus de candidature, les règles de la campagne et les critères d'éligibilité des personnes qui votent -, consultez
cette page Meta-wiki
, et préparez votre plan.
Bénévoles pour les élections
Une autre façon de participer au processus de sélection de 2024 est de devenir bénévole pour les élections. Les bénévoles pour les élections sont un pont entre le comité des élections et leur communauté respective. Ils veillent à ce que leur communauté soit représentée en la mobilisant pour qu'elle aille voter. Pour en savoir plus sur le programme et les modalités d'adhésion, consultez cette
Meta-wiki page
Meilleures salutations,
Dariusz Jemielniak
(président du comité de gouvernance, groupe de travail sur la sélection du conseil d'administration)
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5] Même si le seuil idéal est de 12 candidates et candidats pour 4 sièges à pourvoir, la procédure de présélection sera déclenchée s'il y a plus de 15 candidatures, car les 1 à 3 personnes éliminées pourraient se sentir exclues et cela représenterait beaucoup de travail pour les affiliés de mener à bien la procédure de présélection pour n'éliminer que 1 à 3 personnes de la liste des candidatures.

La
Fondation Wikimedia
va basculer le trafic entre ses centres de données. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe.
Le trafic sera basculé le
20 mars
. Le test débutera à
14:00 UTC
(10:00 au Québec, 15:00 en heure d’Afrique de l'Ouest, 16:00 en heure d’Afrique centrale et 15:00 en Europe continentale).
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de
MediaWiki
, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur.
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le
mercredi 20 mars 2024
Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences
Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains codes particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.
GitLab
sera indisponible durant environ 90 minutes.
Ce projet pourra être reporté si nécessaire. Vous pouvez
consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier. Il y aura d’autres annonces à propos de cet événement. Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération.

is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As
communicated
by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on

The final results of the
Wikimedia Movement Charter
ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

1,710
voted “yes”;
623
voted “no”; and
113
selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these,
93
voted “yes”;
18
voted “no”; and

selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted
not to ratify
the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv,
shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps

La
Fondation Wikimedia
va basculer le trafic entre ses centres de données. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe.
Le trafic sera basculé le
25 septembre
. La bascule débutera à
15:00 UTC
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de
MediaWiki
, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur.
Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération. Cette bannière restera visible jusqu’à la fin de l’opération.
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le
mercredi 25 septembre 2024
Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences
Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains codes particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Sango Wikipedia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour
Sango Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language.
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
The
WMF Language and Product Localization
team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.
The
Contribute
entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on
Edit discovery
, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Sango Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.
For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to
make the entry point optional for experienced contributors
who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.
We plan to enable it
on mobile
for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 20th November 2024.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!
On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
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

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour
Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language,
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
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!

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!

(Apologies for posting in English)
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the
old Graph extension
was disabled in 2023
due to security reasons
. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the
Charts extension
, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the
EasyTimeline extension
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from
May 6
. Please, consult
our page on MediaWiki.org
to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also
consult the documentation
about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the
project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org
, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the
talk page
or at
Phabricator

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
(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

Appel à questions
Lors de chaque processus de sélection, la communauté a la possibilité de soumettre des questions auxquelles les candidats au conseil d'administration devront répondre. Le comité électoral sélectionne les questions à partir de la liste établie par la communauté pour que les candidats y répondent. Les candidats doivent répondre à toutes les questions posées dans le dossier de candidature pour être éligibles, faute de quoi leur candidature sera rejetée. Cette année, le comité électoral sélectionnera 5 questions auxquelles les candidats devront répondre. Les questions sélectionnées peuvent être une combinaison de celles qui ont été soumises par la communauté, si elles sont similaires ou liées.
[link]
Bénévoles des élections
Une autre façon de participer au processus de sélection de 2025 est de devenir bénévole des élections. Les bénévoles électoraux constituent un pont entre le comité électoral et leur communauté respective. Ils veillent à ce que leur communauté soit représentée et les incitent à voter.

Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
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!

Commentaires sur les projets de Wikimédia
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Chère communauté Wikimédia,
Le Comité des affaires communautaires (CAC)
du conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimedia a chargé
le groupe de travail sur les projets frères (SPTF)
de mettre à jour et d’implémenter une procédure d'évaluation du cycle de vie des projets frères, c'est-à-dire
des projets wiki soutenus par la Fondation Wikimédia (WMF)
La vision d'une connaissance libre, pertinente, accessible et percutante a toujours guidé le mouvement Wikimédia. Alors que l’environnement des projets Wikimédia continue d'évoluer, il est crucial de réévaluer régulièrement les projets existants afin de nous assurer qu'ils correspondent toujours à nos objectifs et aux capacités de la communauté.
Malgré leurs nobles intentions, certains projets peuvent ne plus remplir efficacement leur objectif initial.
Examiner de tels projets ne signifie pas les abandonner, mais plutôt gérer de manière responsable les ressources partagées
. Le temps des bénévoles, le soutien du personnel, les infrastructures et l'attention de la communauté sont limités, et les coûts non techniques ont tendance à augmenter considérablement à mesure que notre écosystème entre dans une ère d'Internet différente de celle de nos débuts. Soutenir des projets inactifs ou qui ne répondent pas à nos ambitions peut involontairement détourner ces ressources de domaines à plus fort impact potentiel.
De plus, maintenir des projets qui ne reflètent plus la qualité et la fiabilité que Wikimédia représente comporte un risque pour la réputation. Un projet abandonné ou moins fiable affecte la confiance dans le mouvement Wikimédia.
Enfin,
ne pas abandonner ou repenser les projets qui ne fonctionnent plus peut rendre beaucoup plus difficile le lancement de nouveaux projets
. Lorsque la communauté se sent liée à toutes les décisions passées, aussi obsolètes soient-elles, nous risquons la stagnation. Un environnement sain doit permettre l'évolution, l'adaptation et, si nécessaire, de lâcher-prise. Si nous créons l'attente que chaque projet doit exister indéfiniment, nous limitons notre capacité d'expérimentation et d'innovation.
C'est pourquoi le SPTF a examiné des demandes concernant le cycle de vie de deux projets frères afin d'analyser et de démontrer le processus d'évaluation. Nous avons choisi Wikispore comme étude de cas pour l'ouverture éventuelle d'un nouveau projet frère, et Wikinews comme étude de cas pour l'évaluation d'un projet existant. Les conclusions préliminaires ont été discutées lors de la réunion du CAC du 11 septembre 2024, et le CAC a recommandé une consultation communautaire sur les deux propositions.
Wikispore
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
La
demande d'admission de Wikispore
comme nouveau projet frère a été soumise en 2019. Le SPTF a décidé d'examiner cette demande plus en détail, car, plutôt que de se concentrer sur un sujet spécifique, comme le sont la plupart des propositions de nouveaux projets frères, Wikispore a le potentiel de soutenir plusieurs projets frères en cours de démarrage.
Après mûre réflexion, le SPTF a décidé de
ne pas recommander
Wikispore comme projet frère Wikimedia. Compte tenu du niveau d'activité actuel, la structure en cours offre une
plus grande flexibilité
et plus d’expérimentation, tandis que la WMF fournit le soutien infrastructurel de base.
Nous reconnaissons le potentiel de l'initiative et sollicitons l'avis de la communauté sur ce qui constituerait un niveau d'activité et d'engagement suffisant pour reconsidérer son statut à l'avenir.
Dans le cadre de ce processus, nous avons partagé la décision avec la communauté Wikispore et invité l'un de ses responsables, Pharos, à une réunion du SPTF.
En ce moment, nous sollicitons particulièrement vos commentaires sur des critères mesurables indiquant l'état de préparation du projet, tels que le nombre de contributeurs, le volume de contenu et le soutien durable de la communauté. Cela clarifiera les critères nécessaires à l'ouverture d'un nouveau projet frère, y compris une éventuelle nouvelle candidature de Wikispore. Cependant, les chiffres restent seulement indicatifs, car ils peuvent toujours être manipulés.
Wikinews
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Nous avons choisi d'évaluer Wikinews parmi les projets frères existants, car c'est celui pour lequel nous avons observé le plus grand niveau d'inquiétude à plusieurs égards.
Depuis la création du SPTF en 2023, ses membres ont sollicité l'avis de la communauté lors de conférences et d'appels communautaires concernant les projets frères qui n'avaient pas tenu leurs promesses au sein du mouvement Wikimédia.
[1]
[2]
[3]
Wikinews était le principal candidat à une évaluation, car il avait été proposé par des personnes issues de plusieurs communautés linguistiques. De plus, selon la plupart des indicateurs, il s'agit du projet frère le moins actif, affichant la plus forte baisse d'activité au fil des ans.
Bien que le comité des langues ouvre et ferme régulièrement les versions linguistiques des projets frères dans des «
petites
» langues, aucune proposition valable n'a jamais été présentée pour fermer Wikipédia dans les langues majeures, ni aucun projet en anglais. Ce n'est pas le cas de Wikinews, où une proposition de fermeture de Wikinews en anglais a été formulée, laquelle a suscité un certain intérêt, mais n'a donné lieu à aucune action,
[4]
voir également la section 5 de
[5]
, ainsi qu'un projet de proposition visant à fermer Wikinews dans toutes les langues
[6]
Les indicateurs initiaux
compilés par l'équipe de la WMF soutiennent également les inquiétudes de la communauté du mouvement concernant Wikinews.
Sur la base de ce rapport, la SPTF recommande une réévaluation communautaire de Wikinews. Nous concluons que sa structure actuelle et son niveau d'activité sont les plus faibles parmi les projets frères existants. La SPTF recommande également de suspendre l'ouverture de nouvelles éditions linguistiques pendant la durée de la consultation.
La SPTF soumet cette analyse à la discussion et encourage les discussions sur d'autres solutions, notamment d'éventuelles restructurations ou une intégration avec d'autres initiatives de Wikimédia.
Les options évoquées jusqu'à présent (peuvent être appliquées uniquement aux langues peu actives ou à toutes les langues) incluent, sans s'y limiter:
Restructurer le fonctionnement de Wikinews et l'associer aux autres projets d'actualité;
Fusionner le contenu de Wikinews dans les Wikipédias des langues concernées, éventuellement dans un nouvel espace de noms,
Fusionner le contenu dans des projets externes sous licence compatible,
Archiver les projets Wikinews.
Vos idées et points de vue sont précieux pour façonner l'avenir de ces projets. Nous encourageons tous les membres de la communauté intéressés à partager leurs réflexions sur les pages de discussion correspondantes ou via les autres canaux de commentaires dédiés.
Commentaires et prochaines étapes
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Nous vous serons reconnaissants si vous pouvez participer à une discussion sur l'avenir de ces projets et sur le processus d'évaluation. Nous créons actuellement deux pages de projets:
Public consultation about Wikispore
et
Public consultation about Wikinews
. Merci de participer entre le 27 juin et le 27 juillet, date à laquelle nous résumerons la discussion pour la suite. Vous pouvez écrire dans votre langue.
J'animerai également une discussion communautaire le mercredi 16 juillet à 11 h UTC et le jeudi 17 juillet à 17 h UTC (les liens pour se connecter seront communiqués prochainement) et je serai présente à Wikimania pour poursuivre les discussions.

(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)
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, -

Bientôt, les comptes temporaires seront déployés
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Bonjour, nous sommes l'équipe
Sécurité et intégrité des produits
de la Fondation Wikimedia. Nous souhaitons annoncer que
nous prévoyons d'activer les
comptes temporaires
pour ce wiki dès la semaine du 1er septembre.
Les comptes temporaires sont en ligne sur 30 wikis, dont de nombreux wikis de tailles importantes comme les wikis allemand, japonais et français. Ce changement est particulièrement pertinent pour les contributeurs non connectés, que cette fonctionnalité vise à protéger. Mais il est également pertinent pour les membres de la communauté comme les mentors, les patrouilleurs et les administrateurs – toute personne qui annule les modifications, bloque les utilisateurs ou interagit de toute autre manière avec les contributeurs non connectés afin de garantir la sécurité et l'exactitude des wikis.
Pourquoi nous développons les comptes temporaires
Nos wikis devraient être plus sûrs à modifier par défaut pour les contributeurs non connectés. Les comptes temporaires permettent aux gens de continuer à modifier les wikis sans créer de compte, tout en évitant d'associer publiquement leurs modifications à leur adresse IP. Nous pensons que c'est dans l'intérêt de nos contributeurs non connectés, qui apportent des contributions précieuses aux wikis et qui peuvent plus tard créer des comptes et enrichir notre communauté de contributeurs, d'administrateurs et d'autres rôles. Même si les wikis avertissent les contributeurs non connectés que leur adresse IP sera associée à leur modification, beaucoup de personnes peuvent ne pas comprendre ce qu'est une adresse IP, ou qu'elle pourrait être utilisée pour les connecter à d'autres informations les concernant de manières qu'ils n'attendent peut-être pas.
De plus, nos logiciels et outils de modération s'appuient trop lourdement sur l'origine réseau (adresses IP) pour identifier les utilisateurs et les modèles d'activité, surtout alors que les adresses IP elles-mêmes deviennent des identifiants moins stables. Les comptes temporaires permettent des interactions plus précises avec les contributeurs non connectés, y compris des blocages plus précis, et peuvent aider à limiter la fréquence à laquelle nous finissons par bloquer involontairement des utilisateurs de bonne foi qui utilisent les mêmes adresses IP que des utilisateurs de mauvaise foi.
Comment fonctionnent les comptes temporaires
Chaque fois qu'un utilisateur non connecté publie une modification sur ce wiki, un cookie sera défini dans le navigateur de cet utilisateur, et un compte temporaire lié à ce cookie sera automatiquement créé. Le nom de ce compte suivra le modèle
~2025-12345-67
(un tilde, l'année actuelle, un numéro) Sur des pages comme les Modifications récentes ou l'historique des pages, ce nom sera affiché. Le cookie expirera 90 jours après sa création. Tant qu'il existe, toutes les modifications effectuées depuis cet appareil seront attribuées à ce compte temporaire. Ce sera le même compte même si l'adresse IP change, sauf si l'utilisateur efface ses cookies ou utilise un appareil ou un navigateur web différent. Un enregistrement de l'adresse IP utilisée au moment de chaque modification sera stocké pendant 90 jours après la modification. Cependant, seuls certains utilisateurs connectés pourront la voir.
Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour différents groupes d'utilisateurs
Pour les contributeurs non connectés
Cela augmente la confidentialité
: actuellement, si vous n'utilisez pas un compte enregistré pour modifier, alors tout le monde peut voir l'adresse IP des modifications que vous avez faites, même après 90 jours. Cela ne sera plus possible sur ce wiki.
Si vous utilisez un compte temporaire pour modifier depuis différents endroits dans les 90 derniers jours (par exemple chez vous et dans un café), l'historique des modifications et les adresses IP de tous ces endroits seront maintenant enregistrés ensemble, pour le même compte temporaire. Les utilisateurs qui
satisfont les conditions requises
pourront voir ces données. Si cela crée des préoccupations de sécurité personnelle pour vous, veuillez contacter talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org pour des conseils.
Pour les membres de la communauté interagissant avec les contributeurs non connectés
Un compte temporaire est uniquement lié à un appareil. En comparaison, une adresse IP peut être partagée avec différents appareils et personnes (par exemple, différentes personnes à l'école ou au travail peuvent avoir la même adresse IP).
Par rapport à la situation actuelle, il sera plus sûr de supposer que la page de discussion d'un utilisateur temporaire appartient à une seule personne, et que les messages laissés là seront lus par elle. Comme vous pouvez le voir dans la capture d'écran, les utilisateurs de comptes temporaires recevront des notifications. Il sera aussi possible de les remercier pour leurs modifications, de les mentionner dans les discussions, et de les inviter à s'impliquer davantage dans la communauté.
Pour les utilisateurs qui utilisent les données d'adresse IP pour modérer et maintenir le wiki
Pour les patrouilleurs
qui traquent les abuseurs persistants, enquêtent sur les violations de politiques, etc.
: Les utilisateurs qui
satisfont les conditions
pourront révéler les adresses IP des utilisateurs temporaires et toutes les contributions faites par les comptes temporaires depuis une adresse IP ou une plage spécifique (
Special:IPContributions
). Ils auront aussi accès à des informations utiles sur les adresses IP grâce à la fonctionnalité
IP Info
. Beaucoup d'autres logiciels ont été construits ou ajustés pour fonctionner avec les comptes temporaires, incluant AbuseFilter, les blocages globaux, les contributions globales des utilisateurs, et plus encore. (Pour des informations destinées aux développeurs bénévoles sur comment mettre à jour le code de leurs outils – voir la dernière partie du message.)
Pour les administrateurs bloquant les contributeurs non connectés
Il sera possible de bloquer de nombreux agresseurs en bloquant simplement leurs comptes temporaires. Une personne bloquée ne pourra pas créer rapidement de nouveaux comptes temporaires si l'administrateur sélectionne l'option de
blocage automatique
Il sera toujours possible de bloquer une adresse IP ou une plage d'IP.
Les comptes temporaires ne seront pas appliqués rétroactivement aux contributions faites avant le déploiement. Sur Special:Contributions, vous pourrez voir les contributions d'utilisateurs IP existantes, mais pas les nouvelles contributions faites par les comptes temporaires sur cette adresse IP. Vous devriez plutôt utiliser Special:IPContributions pour cela.
Notre demande et les prochaines étapes
Si vous connaissez des outils, bots, gadgets, etc. utilisant des données sur les adresses IP ou étant disponibles pour les utilisateurs non connectés, vous voudrez peut-être tester s'ils fonctionnent sur
testwiki
ou
test2wiki
. Si vous êtes un développeur bénévole, lisez notre
documentation pour les développeurs
, et en particulier, la section sur
comment votre code pourrait avoir besoin d'être mis à jour
Si vous voulez tester l'expérience des comptes temporaires, par exemple juste pour vérifier ce que cela fait, allez sur testwiki ou test2wiki et modifiez sans vous connecter.
Dites-nous si vous pensez à des difficultés qui doivent être mentionnées. Nous essaierons d'aider, et si nous ne le pouvons pas, nous considérerons les options disponibles.
Regardez notre
message précédent
concernant les exigences pour les utilisateurs sans droits étendus qui peuvent avoir besoin d'accès aux adresses IP.

notre foire aux questions

Lire ceci dans une autre langue
Bonjour à tous et toutes
Je suis heureux de vous informer que, dans le cadre de la prochaine étape du projet d’
unification des analyseurs syntaxiques
, Parsoid sera bientôt activé en tant qu’analyseur d’articles par défaut sur votre $wiki. Nous augmentons progressivement le nombre de wikis utilisant Parsoid, avec l’intention d’en faire l’analyseur de wikicode par défaut pour la prochaine version maintenue à long terme de MediaWiki. Cela rendra nos wikis plus fiables et plus cohérents entre les utilisations par le contributorat, le lectorat et les outils, et facilitera le développement de futures fonctionnalités du wikicode.
Si cela perturbe votre flux de travail, ne vous inquiétez pas
! Vous pourrez toujours désactiver Parsoid pour le wiki dans vos préférences utilisateur, ou uniquement sur la page en cours en utilisant le sous-menu Outils, comme décrit dans la documentation de
Extension:ParserMigration
Il y a
plus d’informations sur notre stratégie de déploiement
disponible, y compris les tests effectués avant d’activer Parsoid pour un nouveau wiki.
Pour signaler des bogues et des problèmes, vous pouvez consulter notre documentation des
problèmes connus
et si vous avez trouvé un nouveau bogue, créez un ticket phab et en l’étiquetant avec
Content Transform Team
qui représente l’équipe Transformation du contenu sur Phabricator.

Bascule de serveur : votre wiki sera bientôt en lecture seule durant un court instant

Lire ce message dans une autre langue
Aidez-nous à traduire dans votre langue
La
Fondation Wikimédia
va basculer le trafic entre ses centres de données. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimédia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe.
Le trafic sera basculé le
24 septembre
. La bascule débutera à
15:00 UTC
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de
MediaWiki
, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement, que nous nous efforçons de réduire pour le futur.
Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération. Cette bannière restera visible jusqu’à la fin de l’opération.
Vous pouvez contribuer à la
traduction ou relecture
du texte de cette bannière.
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le
mercredi 24 septembre 2025
Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Nous vous conseillons cependant de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences :
Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
Le déploiement de code devrait se dérouler comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains codes particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.
GitLab
sera indisponible durant environ 90 minutes.
Ce projet pourra être reporté si nécessaire. Vous pouvez
consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier.
Merci de partager ces informations avec votre communauté.

Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026
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:

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.

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)
ti gbian nda ti tënë ni
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as
Module:Itemgroup/list
).
The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property
P1846
, combined with the qualifier
P180
Q19571328
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property:
P14226
What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from
P14226
instead of the old
P1846
P180
structure. A
list of pages
was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on
P1846
to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old
P1846
statements will be removed after
May 1, 2026
. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help!
