Update on the consultation about office actions[modificare sursă]

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 Trust & Safety team 16 Avgustu 2019 08:03 (UTC)

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages[modificare sursă]

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) 26 Shcurtu 2020 14:15 (UTC)[răspunde]

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[modificare sursă]

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, 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,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations[modificare sursă]

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[modificare sursă]

Please help translate to your language

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

Drafting Committee: Call for applications[modificare sursă]

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[modificare sursă]

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end[modificare sursă]

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.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections[modificare sursă]

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

  • What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
  • What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msg(_AT_)wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Movement Strategy and Governance

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review[modificare sursă]

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.

The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.

To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.

The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.

Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs".

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines[modificare sursă]

Hello all,

We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.

Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.

Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.

Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

On behalf of the UCoC project team

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass[modificare sursă]

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass
  • July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
  • July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
  • July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
  • August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
  • August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
  • August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?[modificare sursă]

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

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

We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

About the skin[modificare sursă]

[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?[modificare sursă]

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[modificare sursă]

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) 22 Yizmãciunj 2022 04:15 (UTC)[răspunde]


Il tema Vector 2022 di default tra due settimane?[modificare sursă]

Le slide della nostra presentazione a Wikimania 2022

Bună, scrivo a nome del Web Team della Wikimedia Foundation. Tra due settimane, ci piacerebbe rendere Vector 2022 il tema di default di questo wiki.

Ci lavoriamo da tre anni. Finora è stato adottato da oltre 30 wiki, tra cui alcuni progetti fratelli Wikimedia, che nell'insieme rappresentano oltre un miliardo di accessi alle pagine al mese. In media l'87% degli utenti attivi connessi di questi wiki usa Vector 2022.

Diventerebbe di default per gli utenti non loggati e anche per gli utenti loggati che attualmente usano Vector Legacy (Vector 2010). Gli utenti loggati possono passare a qualunque altro tema in ogni momento. Nessun cambiamento è previsto per gli utenti di questi temi.

A proposito del tema[modificare sursă]

[Perché è un cambiamento necessario] L'attuale tema di default andava incontro ai bisogni dei lettori e dei contributori così com'erano 13 anni fa. Nel frattempo, nuovi utenti hanno iniziato a usare i progetti Wikimedia. Il vecchio Vector non soddisfa le loro aspettative.

[Obiettivo] Lo scopo del nuovo tema è di rendere l'interfaccia più accogliente e confortevole per i lettori e più funzionale per gli utenti esperti. Trae ispirazione sia da richieste precedenti che dal Sondaggio dei desideri della comunità, da gadgets e scripts. Questo lavoro ha permesso al nostro codice di rispettare gli standard ma anche di migliorare tutti gli altri temi. Abbiamo ridotto del 75% il codice PHP dei temi Wikimedia implementati. Il progetto si è impegnato anche nel facilitare il supporto ai gadget e all'uso delle API.

[Modifiche e risultati dei test] Il tema introduce una serie di cambiamenti che migliorano la leggibilità e l'usabilità. Nel nuovo tema non è stata eliminata nessuna funzionalità attualmente disponibile su Vector.

  • L'header fisso rende più facile trovare gli strumenti che i contributori usano spesso. Diminuisce del 16% lo scorrimento verso l'alto della pagina.
  • Il nuovo indice rende più facile navigare tra le diverse sezioni. I lettori e i contributori saltano da una sezione all'altra il 50% più spesso che con il vecchio indice. Anche le pagine di discussione hanno un aspetto leggermente diverso.
  • La nuova barra di ricerca è più facile da individuare e rende più facile trovare il risultato corretto cercato a partire da una lista. Questo ha aumentato del 30% il volume delle ricerche effettuate sui wiki che abbiamo testato.
  • Il tema non influenza negativamente il numero di accesso alle pagine, il tasso di modifiche, o la creazione di account. È anzi stato riscontrato un aumento delle pagine visitate e della creazione di account nelle comunità partner.

[Provalo] Prova il nuovo tema andando nella scheda "Aspetto" delle tue Preferenze e seleziona Vector 2022 nella lista dei temi.

Come fanno i contributori a modificare e a personalizzare questo tema?[modificare sursă]

È possibile configurare e personalizzare le nostre modifiche. Diamo supporto ai volontari che creano gadget e script utente. Consulta il nostro archivio per la lista delle personalizzazioni attualmente disponibli, o aggiungici le tue.

Il nostro piano[modificare sursă]

Se non vengono sollevate grosse problematiche, prevediamo di distribuire il tema nella settimana del 3 ottobre 2022. Se la vostra comunità desidera più tempo per discutere dei cambiamenti, premete il pulsante e scriveteci. Possiamo adattare il calendario.

Se vuoi chiedere al nostro team qualsiasi cosa, se hai domande, preoccupazioni o idee ulteriori, per favore notificami o scrivi nella pagina di discussione del progetto. Saremo lieti di risponderti! In aggiunta, puoi anche consultare le nostre FAQ. Mulțumim!

Update on Vector 2022[modificare sursă]

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! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 19 Xumedru 2022 23:24 (UTC)[răspunde]

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions[modificare sursă]

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

  • Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
  • Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
  • North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community[modificare sursă]

Format:More languages

The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.

The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.

If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee[modificare sursă]

Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.

About the Ombuds commission

The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.

Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

About the Case Review Committee

The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.

We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

Applying to join either of these groups

Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.

If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca(_AT_)wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal(_AT_)wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:

  • Your primary projects
  • Languages you speak/write
  • Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
  • Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
  • Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
  • Any other information you think is relevant

The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

On behalf of the Committee Support team,

Interfaccia desktop: ultime novità[modificare sursă]

Ciao, vi segnalo che le ultime novità del progetto delle Migliorie all'interfaccia desktop sono on line. Buona lettura! --Patafisik (WMF) (discuție) 4 Yinar 2023 18:38 (UTC)[răspunde]

Migliorie all'interfaccia desktop: un nuovo cambiamento in arrivo[modificare sursă]

Bună!

La prossima settimana il team Web di Wikimedia Foundation sposterà alcuni link della barra laterale a destra dello schermo.

Così sarà più facile utilizzare in modo intuitivo tutti i collegamenti e gli strumenti della nostra interfaccia. Con la barra laterale più corta, l'indice apparirà a sua volta più in alto sullo schermo. Quest'ultimo cambiamento sarà sigificativo soprattutto per i contributori, poiché i lettori usano il menu di sinistra molto più raramente.

Perché apportiamo questo cambiamento

Attualmente, la nostra interfaccia non fa distinzione tra collegamenti e strumenti che riguardano il wiki e collegamenti e strumenti che riguardano la pagina in sè. "Pagina principale", "Una voce a caso", "Ultime modifiche" fanno parte del primo gruppo. "Puntano qui", "Modifiche correlate", "Cita questa voce" appartengono al secondo. Questo mix confonde i nuovi lettori. Anche i nuovi contributori non hanno familiarità con ognuno di questi link e non sanno a cosa servono. Mescolando questi gruppi si rischia di demotivare le persone che sarebbero propense a scoprire spontaneamente questi strumenti.

Questa modifica risolve anche la questione della posizione del sommario. In precedenza alcuni contributori ci avevano fatto notare che il sommario sotto alla barra laterale lo faceva apparire troppo in basso nella pagina. Con questo cambiamento, il menu di sinistra (la barra laterale) diventa più corto e di conseguenza il sommario è visibile più in alto sulla pagina. Inoltre, questo cambiamento riduce lo spazio bianco sulla pagina, usandone di più per mostrare gli strumenti a destra.

Puoi saperne di più sulla funzionalità degli strumenti della pagina e il progetto delle Migliorie all'IU desktop su MediaWiki.org.

Compatibilità degli accessori

Alcuni accessori e script utente potrebbero aver bisogno di essere aggiornati o diventare obsoleti e ridondanti. Forniamo assistenza agli utenti che desiderano mantenere la compatibilità. Puoi visitare questa sezione della nostra documentazione per maggiori informazioni sulla compatibilità dei gadget.

Come far apparire i link delle lingue in cima alla Home page[modificare sursă]

Ciao a tutti,

con la nuova interfaccia di default, Vector 2022, il pulsante delle lingue è finito in fondo alla home page, mentre nelle altre pagine si trova correttamente in alto, vedi perché. Questa eccezione della home page non piace a tutte le comunità Wikimedia. Si può risolvere aggiungendo "un titolo" ma solo con il consenso della vostra comunità.

Vi invito quindi a discutere se vi interessa avere i link delle lingue nello stesso posto delle altre pagine. Se la risposta è sì, dovreste decidere quale tra le due opzioni preferite: mostrare un messaggio di benvenuto (o un altro testo a votra scelta) come "titolo", sulla stessa linea del pulsante delle lingue, oppure non mettere nessun testo.

Copio-incollo un passaggio delle FAQ che potrebbe esservi utile per discutere, con qualche aggiunta:

  • Il "titolo della pagina" sarà mostrato su Vector 2010, Minerva, Timeless e Vector 2022. Non sarà visibile su Monobook.
  • Il "titolo" puo' essere modificato configurando MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin per gli utenti loggati e MediaWiki:Mainpage-title per per gli utenti non loggati. Per gli utenti loggati su mobile invece bisognerà modificare MediaWiki:wikimedia-mobile-mainpage-title-loggedin.
  • Date un'occhiata a come appare la home page con i pulsante delle lingue in alto aggiungendo ?vectorlanguageinmainpageheader=1 alla fine dell'URL. La home page della Wikipedia basca mostra una frase di benvenuto nel titolo. E' la stessa scelta fatta anche dalla Wikipedia in francese, che sta aspettando il cambiamento. Potete anche guardare l'esempio della Wikipedia in islandese che non ha configurato nessun titolo, quindi si vedono solo le lingue.
  • Se c'è consenso, pingatemi (o contattate il Web Team) per chiedere lo spostamento del pulsante delle lingue in alto, il team chiederà la modifica dei parametri del vostro wiki. Se preferite potete aprire direttamente un nuovo task su Phabricator, ma se volete un messaggio di benevuto basterà segnalare la vostra discussione in fondo al ticket T325362, aggiungendovi alla lista dei wiki che già richiedono il cambiamento. Una volta il cambiamento portato a termine, il pulsante delle lingue sarà visibile in alto alla home page del tema Vector 2022. Negli altri temi, la lista dei link delle lingue si troverà al suo posto di default, che è diverso per ogni tema.

Vector 2022: un cambiamento per gli utenti non connessi[modificare sursă]

Gli Strumenti della pagina quando il menu è chiuso (vedi cerchio rosso)

Bună,

la settimana scorsa abbiamo reso disponibile il menu degli Strumenti della pagina per gli utenti non connessi. Per gli utenti loggati, il menu era già disponibile da gennaio 2023.

Il menu permette di distinguere gli strumenti relativi alla navigazione all'interno del wiki in generale dagli strumenti relativi ad una pagina specifica. Nel primo gruppo si trovano, ad esempio, "Pagina principale" e "Una voce a caso". Nel secondo gruppo ci sono, ad esempio, "Puntano qui", "Modifiche correlate" e "Cita questa voce". Inoltre, il nuovo menu riunisce gli strumenti specifici della pagina in un unico elenco. Prima alcuni di questi link si trovavano nel menu principale (barra laterale) o nel More Menu (di fianco alla Cronologia). Il nostro proposito è che i nuovi lettori e i nuovi contributori possano capire più facilmente a cosa servono questi link.

Il menu può essere appuntato (pinned) o meno, a seconda delle necessità dell'utente. Quando è aperto è anche fisso sulla pagina, ossia rimane nella stessa posizione sullo schermo quando si scorre verso il basso. Inoltre, per gli utenti connessi il menu è anche permanente, ossia il menu resta nello stato voluto (aperto, chiuso o appuntato) quando si aggiorna la pagina o se ne apre una nuova. Per gli utenti non connessi invece il menu non è permanente. Speriamo di rendere disponibile questa caratteristica in futuro anche per loro.

Con questo cambiamento si ha anche il vantaggio che l'indice è mostrato più in alto sulla pagina. Solo raramente si deve scorrere la pagina per poter consultare l'indice. Questa è una delle preoccupazioni a cui abbiamo dato ascolto negli ultimi giorni e speriamo che questo risolva la questione.

Collaboriamo

An A/B test coming soon. Visual separation (Zebra #9) between regions[modificare sursă]

Please help translate to your language

Bună !

In a few weeks, the Web Team will be performing an A/B test. This test will start within two weeks and will take two full weeks. It will be performed on Wikipedias in: English, Farsi, French, Hebrew, Korean, Portuguese, Serbian, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

Half of logged-in desktop users will see a version that shows the regions of the page separated more clearly. This version will include more borders and gray backgrounds. After two weeks, everyone will see the current white interface again. We will analyze the usage data for both and make a decision on next steps in July.

More information at this page. Please give us a feedback on the talk page of the Desktop Improvements project.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee[modificare sursă]

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.

Plans to enable Content and Section Translation tool in your Wikipedia[modificare sursă]

Bună Friends!

Apologies as this message is not in your native language, Please help translate to your language.

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we would like to enable the Section and Content translation tool in this Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test the Section Translation tool so you can:

  • Give us your feedback
  • Ask us questions
  • Tell us how to improve it

Below is background information about the tools and how you can test the Section translation tool.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. However, the tool is not out of beta in this Wikipedia, limiting the discoverability of the tool and its use and blocking the enablement of the Section translation in your Wikipedia.

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

We plan to enable the tools in the next 2 weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page.

Try the Section translation tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled, you’ll have access to https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation on the project talk page. We want to hear about your impressions on

  • The section translation tool
  • What you think about our plans to enable it
  • Your ideas for improving the tool

Thanks and we look forward to your feedback and questions.

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:

  1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
  2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
  3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
  4. Request local admins for site notice.
  5. 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.

Hello all,

I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 2024.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.

Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.

On behalf of the UCoC project team,

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection[modificare sursă]

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.
