Datos

Norėjau pasidomėti kodėl visos datos yra kreipiamos į metus/datas. Suprantu kai 2021 straipsnyje yra minimos tarkim 2020 m. vasaros olimpinės žaidynės, tai ir tame straipsnyje logiška 2021 naudoti. Bet kam dėti nuorodas į 2021 mažesnės reikšmės straipsniuose, jei jie neminimi 2021? Wolfmartyn (aptarimas) 22:22, 29 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Čia iš tradicijos taip. Visiškai sutinku, tikrai nėra prasmės. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 22:39, 29 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Na taip, tokia tradicija. Aš asmeniškai dėlioju tik dėl nuoseklumo, nes man keistai atrodytų, jei pusė straipsnių turėtų tokias nuorodas, kita pusė – ne. Tačiau dedu ne visur, parenku reikšmingesnes pagal savo nuožiūrą (gimimo/mirties data, įkūrimas ir t.t.). Iš esmės jau rašiau kažkur, kad pritarčiau „delinkinimui“, jei bendruomenė prieitų prie tokio klausimo, ar tai būtų visiškas delinkinimas kaip pas anglus, ar kažkas kaip pas vokiečius, kai asmenybių straipsniuose apibrėžime nurodomos mirties/gimimo datos ir pan...--Nestea (aptarimas) 15:46, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Na, kaip tik pats Wolfmartyn to šiais metais jau buvo klausęs, matyt, pamiršo... Iš techninės pusės tai botui čia nesunki užduotis, nors keitimų prireiktų daug. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:19, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Tvarkingumui nereikia kad arba visi žodžiai straipsnyje turėtų nuorodas, arba kad nė vienas neturėtu. Manau kad datos nėra išimtis ir specialių taisyklių joms nereikia. Greičiausia nėra prasmės negalvojant dėtį nuorodą į metų straipsnį kur nėra jokios papildomos informacijos nurodančio straipsnio tema. Botais trint gal ir neverta, nes prarasim nuorodas ir iš įvykių kurie metų straipsniuose aprašyti. AudriusA (aptarimas) 21:49, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Manau, Nesteos variantas dėti tik svarbiausiose vietose yra priimtinas ir atitinka Wolfmartyno mintį dėl nuorodų tik tais atvejais, jei tas įvykis datos/metų straipsnyje aprašytas. Panašiai, turbūt, kaip pas vokiečius. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 22:21, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

Apskritai su tuom nuorodom slidus reikalas - kiek žmonių, tiek nuomonių ir skirtingų rašymo stilių... Būna, kas deda daugiau nuorodų, kas mažiau, kas, pvz., visai raudonų nuorodų nededa, kas - per daug. Pasitaiko ir tokių dalykų kaip: susiliejančios nuorodos, vietoje vienos, konkretesnės (banginių medžioklė; 1992–1996 m. Seimo narys), arba italas Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882); arba akivaizdžiame žodžių junginyje nuoroda į vieną žodį; besikartojančios nuorodos, dėl kurių margumyno darosi sunku skaityti (Hainuvkos apskritis, istorijos skiltis) ir t. t. ir pan. Kai kada pratrinu tas perteklines (neretai ir pasikartojančias) nuorodas, bet visko ir visur turbūt nesutikrinsi. Kažkokios tvarkos gal ir norėtųsi, bet turbūt per mažai žmogiškųjų resursų tam, net ir pagelbstint botams, o kas liečia datų nuorodas - tai čia toks daug diskutavimo reikalaujantis klausimas... Metų straipsniuose galima būtų praignoruoti, tokia vienintelė išimtis ir yra padaryta pas anglus (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Cleanbot, Wikipedia:Full-date unlinking bot).--Nestea (aptarimas) 14:23, 3 rugsėjo 2021 (EEST)

Sutinku su Nestea dėl nuoseklumo - bet straipsnio ribose, t.y. jei straipsnyje jau daug datų, ir visos [[2021]], tai dedu ir aš. Patinka ir {{data|2021|8|31}} šablonas, kuris automatiškai sudaro nuorodas į metus bei mėnesį+dieną. Bet į naujai sukurtus straipsnius datų nuorodų nededu. Tuo tarpu kiti kolegos uoliai ištaiso mano datas į linkus :) Tai vat ir norėjau vėl pasidomėti, kuom vadovaujamės.Wolfmartyn (aptarimas) 23:32, 31 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

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

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

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

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

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

• 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.

Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee ending 14 September 2021

Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 14, 2021.

The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement. Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation.

English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months.

We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:

• Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
• Are ready to find compromises.
• Focus on inclusion and diversity.
• Have knowledge of community consultations.
• Have intercultural communication experience.
• Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
• Have experience negotiating with different parties.

The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.

Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? Submit your candidacy here. Please contact strategy2030wikimedia.org with questions.

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

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

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.

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

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

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

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

Ieškome pagalbos WikiGap renginiui

Laba diena,

Švedijos ambasada Lietuvoje bei Baltojo Kaspino Festivalis organizuoja WikiGap renginį (http://www.swemfa.se/wikigap/). Ieškome vieno ar kelių lietuviškosios Vikipedijos administratorių / senbuvių, kurie galėtų renginio dalyviams pristatyti Vikipedijai tinkamų straipsnių ruošimo ir įkėlimo taisykles.

Pats renginys vyks lapkričio 30 dieną, jo metu kelsime jau paruoštus straipsnius, todėl dalyvius apmokyti norime gerokai anksčiau. Apmokymas vyktų online būdu, mes įsivaizduojame, kad truktų apie 30-60 minučių.

Renginys bei pats festivalis yra nekomerciniai, nemokami renginiai, todėl ieškome pagalbos savanoriškais pagrindais.

Jei Jūs arba kas nors, ką pažįstate, norėtų mums padėti, prašau susisiekti su manim.

Dėkui, Justina

Sveiki. Būtų gerai, kad dalyviai atidžiai susipažintų su tuo, kas pateikta Pagalba:Turinys. Beje, kokios tematikos straipsnius ketinama kurti? Ar bus verčiama iš kitų vikipedijų? --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 11:12, 19 spalio 2021 (EEST)

Dėkoju už patarimus, būtent Pagalbos skyreliu daugiausiai ir naudojamės. Deja, neradome kas mums padėtų iš senbuvių, todėl kol kas "apsimokome" patys.

Straipsnius kursime apie asmenybes - žymias Lietuvos moteris, todėl tikriausiai nebus verčiama, nes tiesiog nėra apie jas straipsnių kitomis kalbomis.

Stengiamės orientuotis į kokybę, ne kiekybę. Prašome patarti, jei pastebėsite, kad kažką darome ne taip, dėkoju. JustinaBa (aptarimas) 01:16, 29 lapkričio 2021 (EET)

Valstybių vėliavų straipsniai

Kaip vėliavų straipsnių pradinis sakinys turėtų būti rašomas? Dabar straipsnių pradiniai sakiniai ypač skiriasi, tai manau, kad būtų gerai juos standartizuoti. Dažniausiai straipsnis patenka į vieną iš trijų variantų:

• XYZ vėliava – vienas iš oficialių XYZ valstybės simbolių.
• XYZ vėliava – trispalvė, sudaryta iš trijų juostų.
• XYZ vėliava buvo įteisinta 1234 m. sausio 1 d.

Kuris labiausiai tinka? Etoza (aptarimas) 23:12, 23 spalio 2021 (EEST)

Standartizuoti išties reikėtų. Turėtų būti pirmasis variantas (kadangi tai aiškus apibrėžimas). Ta pati problema dažna ir valstybių herbų straipsniuose. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 23:28, 23 spalio 2021 (EEST)

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 msgwikimedia.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.

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.

With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

Join the conversation.

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review

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

Daugiau kalbų • Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

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

Wikipedia's policy is neutrality, I guess, so why this propaganda nonsence? Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 14:05, 24 vasario 2022 (EET)

Gerb. Hugo.arg, kurioje vietoje įžvelgiate propagandą? --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 14:33, 24 vasario 2022 (EET)

Ne tiek kad propagandą, bet 'advocacy'. Šito Vikipedijoje neturėtų būti. Gal tegul, pvz., pasiūlo visuotinę Pakistano inciatyvą - tikiu, indams labai "patiktų". Aišku, čia šita bėda graužia Vikipediją (na, laimei, ne LT, o anglų labiau) jau seniau, su visokiom "moterų" iniciatyvom ir panašiai. Taip palengva imama prasilenkti su neutralumu, kai atsiranda visokios 'palaikomos' ir 'prerogatyvinės' temos. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 18:18, 24 vasario 2022 (EET)

Manau, kad perlenkiate lazdą ir pats tai suprantate. Beje, dėl Pakistano iniciatyvos — visada galite siūlyti. Galbūt ir pats prisidėčiau. --Viskonsas (aptarimas) 22:42, 26 vasario 2022 (EET)

Coming soon

Several improvements around templates

Hello, from March 9, several improvements around templates will become available on your wiki:

• Fundamental improvements of the VisualEditor template dialog (1, 2),
• Improvements to make it easier to put a template on a page (3) (for the template dialogs in VisualEditor, 2010 Wikitext and New Wikitext Mode),
• and improvements in the syntax highlighting extension CodeMirror (4, 5) (which is available on wikis with writing direction left-to-right).

All these changes are part of the “Templates” project by WMDE Technical Wishes. We hope they will help you in your work, and we would love to hear your feedback on the talk pages of these projects.

Hello everyone,

A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

• A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
• The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

You can comment on Meta-wiki talk pages in any language. You may also contact either team by email: msgwikimedia.org or ucocprojectwikimedia.org

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

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". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

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.

Best regards,
