    Open Call for Individual Engagement Grants

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्:

    Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) program is accepting proposals until April 12th to fund new tools, research, outreach efforts, and other experiments that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers. Whether you need a small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD), IEGs can support you and your team’s project development time in addition to project expenses such as materials, travel, and rental space.

    With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) १५:४७, ३१ मार्च २०१६ (युटिसी(UTC))


    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. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) २१:०७, १७ अप्रिल २०१६ (युटिसी(UTC))

    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.

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

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

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

    Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (कुरा गर्ने) / MediaWiki message delivery (कुरा गर्ने) ००:००, १४ नोभेम्बर २०१६ (युटिसी(UTC))

    Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    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. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

    Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

    More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.

    Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

    As we mentioned last month, the Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve.

    Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Each month, we are sending overviews of these updates to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

    Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    On behalf of the Election Committee,
    Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee

    Improved search in deleted pages archive

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

    During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

    Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. 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 email 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: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

    Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

    Hi all,

    as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (अन्तरमोहडा सम्पादक) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can 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). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

    Thanks!

    Multilingual Shared Templates and Modules

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]
    Hello ne-wiki community! (कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्)

    I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wiki projects and languages. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot DiBabelYurikBot can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see project page for details and ask questions on talk page.

    P.S. I am currently running for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any registered user group can vote). Thank you! --Yurik (🗨️) ०४:२०, १२ मे २०१९ (युटिसी(UTC))

    Update on the consultation about office actions

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    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.

    Wikimedia 2030: Movement Strategy Community conversations are here!

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Dear Affiliate Representatives and community members,

    The launch of our final round of community conversation is finally here! We are excited to have the opportunity to invite you to take part. 
    The recommendations have been published! Please take time over the next five weeks to review and help us understand how your organization and community would be impacted.

    What Does This Mean?

    The core recommendations document has now been published on Meta in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is the result of more than a year of dedicated work by our working groups, and we are pleased to share the evolution of their work for your final consideration. 
    In addition to the recommendations text, you can read through key documents such as Principles, Process, and the Writer’s Reflections, which lend important context to this work and highlight the ways that the recommendations are conceptually interlinked.
    We also have a brief Narrative of Change [5] which offers a summary introduction to the recommendations material. 

    How Is My Input Reflected In This Work?

    Community input played an important role in the drafting of these recommendations. The core recommendations document reflects this and cites community input throughout in footnotes. I also encourage you to take a look at our community input summaries. These texts show a further analysis of how all of the ideas you shared last year through online conversations, affiliate meetings, and strategy salons connect to recommendations. Many of the community notes and reports not footnoted in the core recommendations document are referenced here as evidence of the incredible convergence of ideas that have brought us this far.  

    What Happens Now?

    Affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders have the next five weeks to discuss and share feedback on these recommendations. In particular, we’re hoping to better understand how you think they would impact our movement - what benefits and opportunities do you foresee for your affiliate, and why? What challenges or barriers would they pose for you? Your input at this stage is vital, and we’d like to warmly invite you to participate in this final discussion period.

    We encourage volunteer discussion co-ordinators for facilitating these discussions in your local language community on-wiki, on social media, informal or formal meet ups, on-hangouts, IRC or the village pump of your project. Please collect a report from these channels or conversations and connect with me directly so that I can be sure your input is collected and used. Alternatively, you can also post the feedback on the meta talk pages of the respective recommendations.

    After this five week period, the Core Team will publish a summary report of input from across affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders for public review before the recommendations are finalized. You can view our updated timeline here as well as an updated FAQ section that addresses topics like the goal of this current period, the various components of the draft recommendations, and what’s next in more detail. 
    Thank you again for taking the time to join us in community conversations, and we look forward to receiving your input. (Please help us by translating this message into your local language). Happy reading! RSharma (WMF) MediaWiki message delivery (कुरा गर्ने) २१:३१, २० जनवरी २०२० (युटिसी(UTC))

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Hello

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

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

    Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    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 central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) १४:१५, २६ फेब्रुअरी २०२० (नेपालको प्रमाणिक समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

    The 2030 movement strategy recommendations are here!

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Greetings! We are pleased to inform that the 2030 movement strategy recommendations have been published on Meta-wiki. Over the last two years, our movement has worked tirelessly to produce these ideas to change our shared future. Many of you participated in the online conversations, hosted strategy salons, attended regional events, and connected with us in-person at Wikimania. These contributions were invaluable, and will help make our movement stronger for years to come. 

    The finished set of 10 recommendations emphasizes many of our core values, such as equity, innovation, safety, and coordination, while tasking us jointly to turn this vision into a reality. These recommendations clarify and refine the previous version, which was published in January this year. They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are flexible enough to be adapted to different global and local settings and will allow us to navigate future challenges. Along with the recommendations, we have outlined 10 underlying principles, a narrative of change, and a glossary of key terms for better context.

    The recommendations are available in numerous languages, including Arabic, German, Hindi, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish for you to read and share widely. We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time and at your own pace, either online or in a PDF. There are a couple of other formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta. If you would like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages. However, please note that these are the final version of the recommendations. No further edits will be made. This final version of the recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia movement should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet the Wikimedia vision in a changing world. 

    In terms of next steps, our focus now shifts toward implementation. In light of the cancellation of the Wikimedia Summit, the Wikimedia Foundation is determining the best steps for moving forward through a series of virtual events over the coming months. We will also be hosting live office hours in the next coming few days, where you can join us to celebrate the Strategy and ask questions! Please stay tuned, and thank you once again for helping to drive our movement forward, together. RSharma (WMF)

    नमस्कार. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस् if necessary. धन्यवाद!

    There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

    Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

    Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

    Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, १९:५२, २ जुलाई २०२० (नेपालको प्रमाणिक समय)

    Regional Call for South Asia - Oct. 30

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Hi everyone. The time has come to put Movement Strategy into work and we need your help. We are inviting South Asian communities, Indian Wikimedians, and anyone else interested to join a region-focused conversation on Movement Strategy and implementation. Please join us on Friday Oct. 30 at 19.30 / 7:30 pm IST (Google Meet).

    The purpose of the meeting is to get prepared for global conversations, to identify priorities for implementation in 2021, and to plan the following steps. There are 10 recommendations and they propose multiple 45 initiatives written over two years by many Wikimedians. It is now up to communities to decide which ones we should work on together in 2021, starting with local and regional conversations. Global meetings will take place later in November when we will discuss global coordination and resources. More information about the global events will be shared soon.

    • What is work you’re already doing that is aligned with Movement Strategy?
    • What are priorities for you in 2021?
    • What are things we should all work on globally?

    We would not be able to grow and diversify as a movement if communities from South Asia are not meaningfully involved in implementing the recommendations. Join the conversation with your questions and ideas, or just come to say hi. See you on Friday October 30.

    A translatable version of this message can be found on Meta.

    Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

    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, विकिपुस्तक currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

    I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

    Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

    Best regards,

    Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

    The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

    Drafting Committee: Call for applications

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

    To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

    2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

    To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

    Wikimania 2021: Individual Program Submissions

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Dear all,

    Wikimania 2021 will be hosted virtually for the first time in the event's 15-year history. Since there is no in-person host, the event is being organized by a diverse group of Wikimedia volunteers that form the Core Organizing Team (COT) for Wikimania 2021.

    Event Program - Individuals or a group of individuals can submit their session proposals to be a part of the program. There will be translation support for sessions provided in a number of languages. See more information here.

    Below are some links to guide you through;

    Please note that the deadline for submission is 18th June 2021.

    Announcements- To keep up to date with the developments around Wikimania, the COT sends out weekly updates. You can view them in the Announcement section here.

    उम्मेदवारहरुको आन्दोलन चार्टर ड्राफ्टि समितिको आह्वान

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    आन्दोलन रणनीतिले आन्दोलन चार्टर ड्राफ्टि समितिको लागि उम्मेदवारहरूको लागि आह्वानको घोषणा गर्यो। आह्वान 2 अगस्त, 2021 मा खुल्छ, र 1 सेप्टेम्बर , 2021 मा बन्द हुन्छ।

    समितिले विकिमिडिया आन्दोलनमा विविधताको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ। विविधतामा लिङ्ग, भाषा, भूगोल र अनुभव समावेश छ। यसमा परियोजना, सहयोगी र विकिमिडिया फाउन्डेसनमा सहभागिता रहेको छ।

    सदस्य बन्न अंग्रेजी प्रवाह आवश्यक छैन । आवश्यक परेमा अनुवाद र व्याख्या समर्थन प्रदान गरिन्छ। सदस्यहरूले सहभागिता लागत अफसेट गर्न भत्ता पाउनेछन्। यो प्रत्येक दुई महिनामा US$100 हो।

    हामी निम्न केही सीप भएका मानिसहरूको खोजीमा छौं:

    • सहयोगी भएर कसरी लेख्ने जान्नु। (प्रदर्शन गरिएको अनुभव एक प्लस हो)
    • सम्झौताहरू फेला पार्न तयार हुनु।
    • समावेशीकरण र विविधतामा ध्यान दिनु।
    • सामुदायिक परामर्शको ज्ञान हुनु ।
    • अन्तरसांस्कृतिक संचार अनुभव हुनु।
    • गैर-नाफा वा समुदायहरूमा सुशासन वा संगठनको अनुभव हुनु ।
    • विभिन्न पार्टीहरूसँग सम्झौता गर्ने अनुभव हुनु।

    समितिको सुरुवात 15 जनाबाट हुने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ । यदि 20 वा सो भन्दा बढी उम्मेद्वारहरू छन् भने, मिश्रित निर्वाचन र छनोट प्रक्रिया हुनेछ । यदि त्यहाँ 19 वा सो भन्दा कम उम्मेदवार छन् भने निर्वाचन बिना नै निर्वाचनको प्रक्रिया हुन्छ ।

    के तपाईं विकिमीडियालाई यस महत्वपूर्ण भूमिकामा अगाडि बढाउन मद्दत गर्नुहुन्छ? यो पृष्ठ आफ्नो उम्मेदवारी पेश गर्नुहोस् । कृपया प्रश्नहरूको सँग wikimedia.org रणनीति2030ढाँचा:मा सम्पर्क गर्नुहोस् ।

    Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

    This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 ०६:०४, १ अगष्ट २०२२ (नेपालको प्रमाणिक समय)

    The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]
    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.

    [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?

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    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.

    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.

    If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) ०४:१४, २२ सेप्टेम्बर २०२२ (नेपालको प्रमाणिक समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

    Hello,

    As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

    • Community members in good standing
    • Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
    • Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
    • Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
    • Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
    • Confidently able to communicate in English

    The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

    The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Hello all,

    I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

    The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

    Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

    The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Read this in your languageकृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस् • Please tell other users about these changes

    Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

    विश्वव्यापी अभिरूचिहरू

    If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

    Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.

    If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":

    It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

    Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English).

    [Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.

    [Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

    [Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

    • The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
    • The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
    • The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
    • The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
    • The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

    [Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

    (New) Feature on Kartographer: Adding geopoints via QID

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Since September 2022, it is possible to create geopoints using a QID. Many wiki contributors have asked for this feature, but it is not being used much. Therefore, we would like to remind you about it. More information can be found on the project page. If you have any comments, please let us know on the talk page. – Best regards, the team of Technical Wishes at Wikimedia Deutschland

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.

    Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
    Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.

    The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.

    For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
    We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

    Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]

    Apologies for writing in English.

    The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.

    • The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
    • Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
    • Compensation is available.
    • Sessions will be held in January and February.
    • Sign up here if you are interested.
    • Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

    We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

    Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

    [सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]
    You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

    Dear all,

    This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

    The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

    Here are the key planned dates:

    • May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
    • June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
    • June-August 2024: Campaign period
    • End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
    • October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
    • Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

    Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.

    Election Volunteers

    Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

    Best regards,

    Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

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