--Smeira 17:52, 2008 yanul 5id (UTC)[reply]

What happens if somebody writes an article about, for example, his grandmother? Or about his company, which was founded in 2005 and has 25 employees? In other words, is there some kind of notability guidelines? Which template should be used for such cases instead of the (speedy?) {{Delete}}? --145.254.190.214 17:53, 2008 yanul 15id (UTC)[reply]

We'll in principle follow the usual criteria for notability: if the person's grandmother doesn't happen to be sufficiently famous, or if no one other than the author him/herself can verify the data, then the article will be considered for deletion. But thus far no one has tried to do that; so, in a sense, it is a problem we don't anticipate we'll have any time soon. Hence the absence of a dedicated template. If such a case occurs -- if there's a Volapük speaker who wants to write an article about his/her own non-famous grandmother -- then we'll set policies for dealing with that. For the time being, {{Delete}} will do -- until there really is a of the kind you anticipate, and then new approaches (e.g. new deletion templates) will be developed. --Smeira 19:45, 2008 febul 27id (UTC)[reply]

Pad fädik, Klads, dugön[redakön fonäti]

Glidis! (Pidob vemo. No-nolob "navigation". I don't know the word for "navigation".) It may worth considering [1] disabling (or relegating) the "pad fadik" and replacing it with an index of articles, as in, e.g. [2]; and also consider making the Klads a more prominent means of navigation. This will lead readers to read the good articles; and the relative weight of the retäds would be reduced. - Hillgentleman 19:37, 2 yanul 2008 (UTC)

Glidis! (Navigation = nafam if you use the same maritime metaphor; at least one Volapükist I know doesn't like that and is looking for a less metaphorical description.) I don't see clearly the relation between the description of the use of bots on it.wp and the "pad fädik" link -- isn't it a link on all other Wikipedias? And it can be used for statistical purposes. Now, the idea of making Klads more visible as a navigation tool I find really interesting. How should we do that? (en.wp has only a few links to generic categories on the top of its main page; is this a good way to do that?) --Smeira 01:20, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

Glidis! You must have seen: someone comes, "pad fadik" a dozen times, and makes her conclusions. Well, we sometimes browse a dictionary this way, but this is not the best for a project under construction. (And by the way, hasn't Britannica got some one-liner entries? I don't remember.) It is my impression that you would yourself peace and quietous make if you behave professionally. Vukiped is a reference work. Make it useful. A good index is the key. - Hillgentleman 02:08, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

We can at least put links to the major categories, major portals, and an index in the most promenant position on the Cifapad. Now, whether that is enough is subjective. The question is what do you want people to see on the Cifapad. Do we want featured articles? perhaps. Do we want links to events happening on that date? And what do we want for the front page? At present, it would be 1. to entice new editors; and 2. to aid site navigation, ie guide the reader quickly to the information he seeks. The question is how to balance them. Hillgentleman 02:17, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

Some people also put Klad:Klads on the sidebar. (Langcom did that.) Hillgentleman 02:20, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

I basically agree with you. Do you have a suggestion as to a layout? En.wp has a few major categories on the main page and a link to a more detailed categorization. Is this a good idea? (Perhaps not; not very evident.) By the way, how do you add something to the sidebar? --Smeira 16:19, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

I have placed a link to Klad:Klads under 'Yegeds mä jäfüds' (= articles by discipline / area of interest / specialization) in the Cifapad. Do you think, Hillgentleman, that this is sufficiently visible? (One problem for newcomers: if they don't speak Volapük, they won't know what the options on the main page link to. Won't they in this case still prefer to go to 'Pads fädik'?) --Smeira 16:24, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

I believe a better design of the main page can help even those who do not speak Volapük (those Nuvola icons are really great). Maybe we should develop some proposals for a new main page with a bit more of imagery and more "vivid" colors. I'll look into it when I have a bit of time (weekend?). Malafaya 16:31, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

P.S. "Nafam" sidebar: Sitanuns:Sidebar.

What is this sidebar page? When I click on the link, I get the message that the page was deleted. How come? --Smeira 20:57, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

Curious. Apparently this messges is deprecated, it has been deleted from the software but it still has contents? Malafaya 21:35, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

This page is in a namespace better know as "mediaWiki:". That is where the sysops can fix their local interface messages (ie without having to hardcode them into the phps. Hillgentleman 22:16, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

Just go and edit it. C.f. meta:mediawiki:sidebar. Hillgentleman 22:17, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

But if we try to get MediaWiki:Sidebar here, we get a page that has already been deleted, and which has nothing to do with the sidebar that I see. How can we edit it? --Smeira 14:28, 2008 yanul 5id (UTC)[reply]

Belated reply on mediawiki:sidebar: For example, if you want to test it, replace the line "** randompage-url|randompage" by "** Klad:Klads|Klads". Hillgentleman 01:08, 2008 febul 29id (UTC)[reply]

My opinion: This is an encyclopaedia above all. It would be good to have direct access the entrances to the principal classifications

([+]Lekans [+] Nolavs [+] Rels [+] Sogäd [+] Spot [+] Telplänovapads) If the Klad is too big, create a portal for it and provide link to it instead. One more klickon away is one more chance for confusion. -Hillgentleman 22:23, 3 yanul 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this should be an encyclopedia above all. I've added a link to Klad:Klads at the Main Page, and also a link to the Klad:Yegeds gudik (= good articles). Does this help, in your opinion? --Smeira 14:22, 2008 yanul 5id (UTC)[reply]

How can we improve the usability for your language[redakön fonäti]

We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly

The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.

When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.

We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Languageissues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.

Admin status[redakön fonäti]

Many of the most active editors on this wiki are bots. As a learner of Volapük I'd like to volunteer so that more oversight can be given. I run volapuk.com and am working on a number of Volapük publications. Evertype 17:36, 2012 yanul 22id (UTC)[reply]

Happy to support this, Gmeijssen 17:37, 2012 yanul 22id (UTC)[reply]

You have my support since you are a very active member of the Volapük community. Unfortunately, I'm not too active here and Geban:Smeira is missing in action. It would be great if someone could give this project a kick up. Let's just wait a few days for other (if any) voices to be heard. Malafaya 17:12, 2012 yanul 23id (UTC)[reply]

Language support group for Volapuk[redakön fonäti]

The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team.

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.

As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.

The word "Vükiped"[redakön fonäti]

Hello. It seems to me, having looked at the morphology of Volapük, that the name of this wikipedia is badly formed. The first two letters, vü , are confusable with a preposition meaning "between" (corresponding to the prefix "inter-"), the last two letters, ed, are confusable with a common suffix, and the word as a whole is further blighted by the fact that the middle three letters, kip, are confusable with a root meaning "keep/retain". The word is thus highly ambiguous, and I wonder if it shouldn't be replaced. I understand there is a procedure for word coining whereby the Academy (the Kadäm) is consulted and then makes a decision. And I wonder who the person was who invented the word "Vükiped", and whether he/she had any contact with the Academy.

Hi. I don't have a clue. The word had already been adopted when I first came here. Let me just tell you that just because words seem to be composed of known prefixes/suffixes doesn't mean they are not allowed. In Volapük there are many words that start that way, with particles that match prefixes, and yet morphologically they are not prefixes: for example, "jied" (a bad concept for an example, I know :)) is not composed of prefix "ji-" and suffix "-ed". Regards, Malafaya (talk) 14:30, 2013 yanul 29id (UTC)[reply]

Quality assurance: logging in[redakön fonäti]

Hi, When I log in to vowiki, half the prompts are in Volapük, but half are in Linglänapük:

Use secure connection
Reset your password
Keep me logged in
Help with logging in

I confirmed this by clicking "Linglänapük" and checking the prompts there.
Also, if I log in using Sperantapük, I have an English prompt:

Reset your password

Hi. This is because not all MediaWiki messages are translated. This is mainly because MediaWiki is not static and is continuously evolving. Thus, it's not easy to keep pace :). Malafaya (talk) 13:26, 2013 yulul 12id (UTC)[reply]

No problem.

A small translation request[redakön fonäti]

Hi, I have translated this book list -- en:Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century -- into 30 or 40 natural languages.
I thought I would try 2 artificial languages, Volapük and Esperanto. (The only artificial language I know is Nadsat, from A Clockwork Orange.)
What would be a good title for the page when I finish compiling the list?
Le Monde is the newspaper in Paris.
Thanks very much, Varlaam (talk) 19:25, 2013 yulul 5id (UTC)[reply]

Any suggestions for a page title? Thanks, Varlaam (talk) 15:21, 2013 yulul 9id (UTC)[reply]

That would be Buks 100 Tumyela ela Le Monde. Regards, Malafaya (talk) 13:28, 2013 yulul 12id (UTC)[reply]

Hello again.

With help from Wiktionary, I have some column headings:

Nüm	Calanem [?]	Lautan	Yel
1	The Stranger	Albert Camus	1942
2	Pö suk tima peperöl	Marcel Proust	1913–1927

But I don't trust this word "Calanem". It matches the German "Titel", but Titel has more than one meaning. And "calanem" is never actually used in vowiki.

What should "book title" be?

Thanks. Varlaam (talk) 16:37, 2013 yulul 16id (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that "Calanem" is correct, but it does seem to mean title.[4] It might be a different sense of the word. Can someone confirm that "calanem" is correct? PiRSquared17 (talk) 21:41, 2013 yulul 16id (UTC)[reply]

No, calanem is definitely not correct here. Book title is tiäd. Academic title is calanem. Shruggy (talk) 15:25, 2013 gustul 21id (UTC)[reply]

Pywikipedia is migrating to git[redakön fonäti]

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language.

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review[redakön fonäti]

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently adopted by global community consensus (your community received a notice about the discussion). According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the new admin activity review here.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

Flauto Dolce (bureaucrat, administrator)
ILVI (administrator)
Manie (bureaucrat, administrator)

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

Media Viewer[redakön fonäti]

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 21:29, 2014 mayul 23id (UTC)[reply]

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki[redakön fonäti]

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 21:54, 2014 yunul 19id (UTC)[reply]

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014[redakön fonäti]

This is a one-time mailing to projects that may need this information. Future newsletters will be available as opt-in only. To receive future newsletters (about one per month), please add your page to the subscribers' list at m:VisualEditor/Newsletter. You're welcome to translate to your language.

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Style text" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

They have moved the "Keyboard shortcuts" link out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}} → {{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead.
It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Page options" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead[redakön fonäti]

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki[redakön fonäti]

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact us if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at Meta (or at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only). Thank you! --Elitre (WMF), 22:33, 2014 yunul 25id (UTC)[reply]

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards. However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

Portobuffolé[redakön fonäti]

De geban ela 151.20.4.40 : I need to speak to an admin, may I ask you? It's about the problem of the article "Portobuffolé": it was disussed both in en.wikipedia and in it.wikipedia about the correct spelling, and it was established that it must have the acute accent. The following are some of the sources brought in the discussions, proving the correct spelling: [5] [6] [7] [8]. They're the most authoritative dictionaries and encyclopedias about Italian language and they all agree about the spelling. Also almost all other Wikis have already changed the uncorrect spellings, but there's a Dutch admin/rollbacker who's going against consensus and moving back a lot of pages on several Wikis to the uncorrect spelling, in this way actually vandalising the Wiki-pedia. Can you please move once for all the page "Portobuffolè" to "Portobuffolé", or delete the page "Portobuffolè" with the uncorrect spelling, please? If an admin of vo.wikipedia does it, this could prevent the Dutch rollbacker from keeping this senseless edit-war. Thank you in advance if you will!

JavaScript[redakön fonäti]

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to make these updates, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I can. Nirmos (bespik) 21:45, 2016 yunul 8id (UTC)[reply]

Important: maintenance operation on October 27[redakön fonäti]

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, October 27 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, October 27. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28).
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
There will be code freezes for the week of October 26, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion[redakön fonäti]

Hello!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist[redakön fonäti]

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[redakön fonäti]

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, Vükiped 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[redakön fonäti]

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

Hello!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.

Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis[redakön fonäti]

Example

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[redakön fonäti]

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.

Editing news 2021 #2[redakön fonäti]

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion tools" 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.

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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[redakön fonäti]

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?
