Improving the translation support for Luxembourgish Wikipedia[Quelltext änneren]
Salut!
Apologies as this message is not in your native language, Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen.
Content translation has been successful in supporting the translation process on many Wikipedia communities, and we want to help additional wikis with the potential to grow using translation as part of a new initiative.
Content translation facilitates the creation of Wikipedia articles by translating content from other languages. It has been used already to create more than half a million articles. In addition, the tool provides mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content, preventing the publication of lightly edited machine translations. In general, our analysis shows that the translations produced are less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch.
Luxembourgish Wikipedia editors have used Content translation to create more than ninety articles. We think that there is potential to use translation to create more articles, expand existing ones, and attract new editors that learn how to make productive edits. Translation can help the community to reduce the language gap with other languages and grow the number of editors in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with you to make Content translation more visible in the Luxembourgish Wikipedia and support new ways to translate.
As a first step, during the next weeks we plan to enable Content translation by default on Luxembourgish Wikipedia. That will make it easy for users to discover the tool through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation will still be able to disable it from their preferences.
Please feel free to share any comment in this conversation thread.
Thanks!

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[Quelltext änneren]
Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen
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,

Checking files - what to do?[Quelltext änneren]
Hello from Denmark!
I hope you are all safe and happy!
You still remember me? :-)
I have not been very active on lb.wiki for some time because I took a wikibreak and because most of the files on lb.wiki have been checked.
Atm. there are 2.276 files on lb.wiki (2.290 files when posted):
- Free files (Category:All fräi Medien): 376 files (381 files when posted)
- Non-free files (Category:All net fräi Medien): 1.900 files (1.908 files when posted)
The reason the numbers does not match the total is that some files are in both categories. For example a photo of a statue. The statue is non-free but the photographer placed the photo under a free license. And a few might not have a license.
In a perfect world all the free files could be moved to Commons. Some files are allready there and could perhaps be deleted:
- Kategorie:Elo op Commons 2 files (1 file when posted)
- Kategorie:Elo op Commons mam selwechten Numm 8 files (7 files when posted)
But still some files remail here. In short they are probably still on lb.wiki because they can't be moved to Commons. The reason is most likely that they lack a good source, author or there is no permission.
Some of the files can perhaps be fixed if someone manage to contact the copyright holder and get a valid permission send to the OTRS system.
It hurts to delete files that are still in use but some wikis have decided that it is better to delete than to keep files that are not okay for Commons.
My first question is if you would like to keep such files and if yes all or should there be some criteria that have to be met before the file can be kept?
Then there are the non-free files. All of those files should have a valid rationale to be kept. Only way to find out is the check all the files one by one.
But that is not my topic for today.
En.wiki have some rules that:
- Orphan non-free files have to be deleted
- Non-free files may only be used in articles (meaning not on user pages and discussion pages)
- Old versions of non-free files have to be deleted or hidden
- Non-free files may only be small (for example width x length should max equal 100.000 pixels)
My second question is if all of those rules apply for lb.wiki too?
Keeping track of all those requirements may be hard without an easy way to find files that does not meet the requirements. The best is if you have local users that can check regulary.
If there are no users around that can do that then I may be able to check from time to time. I have made some queries that could help:
- Files with no license: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/45461 (most are probably in Special:UncategorizedFiles)
- Orphan non-free files: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/44024 (most are probably in Special:UnusedFiles)
- Non-free files used outside articles: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/53404
- Oversized non-free files (bigger than 100,000 pixels): https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/52838
- Non-free files with old versions: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/53406
I also help out on vi.wiki and uk.wiki and I managed to get a user from uk.wiki to use a bot on vi.wiki to reduce non-free files that are too big.
If lb.wiki have many files that are too big then I could perhaps get the user to help out here too.
But before that you need to decide how big files may be and perhaps clean up a bit in non-free files to make sure that there are not too many files that does not have a valid rationale.
My third question is if anyone here knows how to make lists like above and run a bot to reduce size of files and if not if you would perhaps be willing to (happy if) a user from another wiki used a bot here?
That was a long post. I know! But I think that it is important that community agree before any things are changed.
You are of course very welcome to discuss in Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch). --MGA73 (Diskussioun) 14:48, 20. Mäe. 2021 (UTC)
Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations[Quelltext änneren]
Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[Quelltext änneren]
Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen
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[Quelltext änneren]
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[Quelltext änneren]
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.

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

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis[Quelltext änneren]
From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Suggested Values[Quelltext änneren]
From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Moien,
Firwat ginn hei Stroossennimm geännert?
E Stroossennumm gëtt per Gemengeregelement festgehalen, dann ass et, sou fannen ech, net un der Wikipedia, dat interpretéieren oder 'verbesseren' ze goen.
Um Geoportail sinn d'Nimm ze fannen, wéi s'offiziell heeschen. Hei iwregens eng Foto wou d'Schëld ze gesinn ass vun der Hammhafferstrooss. D'Biirkelterstrooss béit vun do of: File:Wayside cross and chapel Berdorf Hammhafferstrooss 2016-07.jpg.

Moien och,
Et deet mer leed wann ech elo e bësselche bësseg ginn. Mä wéi alt schonn e puermol gesäit een hei nees datt wann een eppes un engem sengem Dada ännert datt dann iwwer eppes gemeckert gëtt, wat deem Mataarbechter virdru puupegal war. Bei iwwer dausend Ännerungen an Zäit vun 2 Joer déi am Sënn vun der neier Schreifweis bei Stroossennimm gemaach goufen huet keen eppes gesot. Dat wier awer intressant gewiescht well ech huelen un, datt dat Argument vum Gemengereglement iwwerall kéint zoutreffen. Fir lo nach bei den LOD argumentéieren ze goen an ze froen ob se och d'Buergermeeschtere gefrot hunn fir déi Nimm z'änneren, ass et wuel ze spéit. Et stinn iwwregens ganz vill Nimm um Geoportal déi nach den ale Schreifweisen entspriechen. Firwat wuel? Ma warscheinlech well déi besseres ze dinn hunn wéi lo all déi Nimm z'änneren. Am grousse Ganze goufen déi nei Reegele jo vun der Wikipedia akzeptéiert. Ech kann och dermat liewen datt mer dat bei Stroossen net maachen, da ginn ech all déi Verbesserungen zrécksetzen. Awer mer sollten entweder dat eent oder dat anert hunn a keen Duercherneen. Ech soen dat hei am Numm vun all de Wikipedianer déi bei de Verbesserunge vun de geographeschen Nimm gehollef hunn an hëllefen. --Les Meloures (Diskussioun) 19:17, 18. Jun. 2021 (UTC)

- PS: Den Artikel hei heescht Haalsbaach. Um Geoportal steet Halsbaach. Mir hunn en Artikel Bierkelt cf. LOD um Geoportal steet Birkelt. Um Geoportal steet Biirkelterstrooss, wat s du jo och sees awer an denger Beschrweiwung vun der Foto schreifs de selwer Bierkelterstrooss. U wat hale mer ons elo? Ech mengen eng Prinzipiendiskussioun op déi een an Zukunft kéint hiweise wier wichteg, fir datt net ëmmer nees al Zoppen opgewiermt ginn. --Les Meloures (Diskussioun) 08:05, 19. Jun. 2021 (UTC)
- Et wier an deem Sënn och gutt wa keng Verbesserunge méi vu geographeschen Nimm gemaach ginn bis mer e Konsens fonnt hunn. --Les Meloures (Diskussioun) 09:45, 19. Jun. 2021 (UTC)
- Gudden Owend,
- Ech hu mech och e bësse mat der Verbesserunge vun der Stroossennimm (oder aner geographeschen Nimm) beschäftegt. Wann ech an engem Artikel op en Numm stoussen, ersetzen ech e fir datt e konform mat den neie Reegelen ass. Wann et mech am Fong bei Nimm wéi Areler Strooss oder Lonkecher Strooss net stéiert, muss ech zouginn, datt ech et awer bosseg fanne bei Stroosse wéi z. B. dem Berliner Wee oder dem Hammer Dällchen. Et ass awer warscheinlech einfach d'Gewunnecht, well et laang anescht (falsch) geschriwwe gouf…
- Sou wéi mer chinesesch op chineesesch a schwedesch op schweedesch g'ännert hu fir konform mat den neie Reegelen ze sinn, sou solle mer et menger Meenung no och mat den Odonymme maachen.
- D'Nimm vun de Stroossen an enger Gemeng gi gemenkerhand vum Schäfferot (net iwwer e Gemengereglement) festgehalen. Ech weess z. B. och aus zouverlässeger Quell, datt an der Stad Lëtzebuerg déi Odonymmen déi op lëtzebuergesch sinn, vum CPLL op hier Schreifweis iwwerpréift a verbessert goufen, datt dat awer net heescht, datt elo all Stroosseschëlter verbessert ginn. Et wäert weiderhin Arelerstrooss oder Hammerdällchen um Schëld stoe bleiwen, bis vläicht eng Kéier neier gemaach ginn.
- Sou wéi mer an engem änleche Sujet och festgehalen haten déi richteg Reegel fir „Firmennimm“ unzewennen an z. B. Administration du cadastre et de la topographie ze schreiwen (mat klenge Buschtawen) amplaz vun der allgemeng gebrauchter falscher Schreifweis Administration du Cadastre et de la Topographie, sinn ech wéi gesot der Meenung, mer sollten eis fir d'geographesch Nimm un d'Reegelwierk vum LOD / CPLL halen, och wann déi net esou ass wéi op de meeschte Schëlter am Ländchen. GilPe (Diskussioun) 20:38, 19. Jun. 2021 (UTC)
- Gudden Owend, um Geoportail schaffe ganz léif Leit, déi sech opreege, mat dat, wat si vun de Gemengen erakréien. Heiansdo si Schreiffeeler dran, och a Nimm vun de Leit. Heiansdo steet et an der Décisioun vum Schäfferot anescht wéi um Géoportail, wéi op enger Säit vun der Strooss, wéi am PAG, wéi op der anerer Säit. Heiansdo schéckt d'Gemeng et richteg eran, mä et gëtt vertippt a falsch agedroen. All di Leit kachen eben och nëmme mat Waasser. Bei OpenStreetMap hu mir méi wéi 600 Verbesserungen - di Meescht sinn an der Lëscht hei: https://github.com/osmlu/csventrifuge/blob/master/rules/luxembourg_addresses/rue.csv. -- Stereo (Diskussioun) 22:18, 19.

Editing news 2021 #2[Quelltext änneren]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Diskussiouns-Geschier" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Server switch[Quelltext änneren]
Read this message in another language • Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen
The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

These guidelines are not final but you can help move the progress forward. Provide comments about these guidelines by 17 October 2021. The committee will be revising the guidelines based upon community input.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the draft review talk page or by email. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during round-table discussions and conversation hours.
There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines:

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

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

Server switch[Quelltext änneren]
Read this message in another language • Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen
The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
