Wikiopisto perustettu

Ketkäs täällä aikoo kirjoitella ja mitä? – Nikerabbit 7. huhtikuuta 2009 kello 17.09 (UTC)Vastaa

Wikiopisto on hieno paikka, jossa voi opiskella vapaasti ihan mitä tahansa. Wikiopistoa hallitsevat Str4nd ja Tarmo. Porukkaa tulossa jatkuvasti. Kuten esimerkiksi minä :) --Kylpyamme 5. joulukuuta 2009 kello 18.36 (UTC), viestiä muutettu, tämä tapahtui --Kylpyamme 6. joulukuuta 2009 kello 14.15 (UTC)Vastaa

Suomen Wikimedia

[muokkaa]

Wikimedian suomenkielisten hankkeiden rinnalle ollaan perustamassa omaa yhdistystä. Yhdistyksen sääntöihin, nimeen, toimintaan ja tarkoitukseen voi vielä vaikuttaa – mitään ei ole lyöty lopullisesti lukkoon. Suomen Wikimedian tarkoituksena ei ole olla ainoastaan yhdistys suomenkieliselle Wikipedialle vaan myös muillekin projekteille.

Lisää tietoa tulevasta yhdistyksestä kiinnostuneille löytyy Wikipedian sivulta Wikipedia:Yhdistys. — str4nd 21. huhtikuuta 2009 kello 13.16 (UTC)Vastaa

Suomalais-ugrilainen kielentutkimus

[muokkaa]

Onko täällä muita suomalais-ugrilaisista kielistä kiinnostuneita? Olen aivan uusi täällä, joten en edes tiedä minne ja mitä kirjoittaa... Olen kiinnostunut suomen, vepsän, vatjan ja viron kielistä. Minun äidinkieleni on venäjä, mutta suomeksi kirjoitan paremmin. --Triple-ADHD-AS 23. huhtikuuta 2009 kello 10.18 (UTC)Vastaa



On muitakin, mutten minäkään oikein ymmärrä, miten Wikiopistoa on käytettävä. Löysin kuitenkin näytteen en:Composing_free_and_open_online_educational_resources. Olen mäkin kiinnostunut suomalais-ugrilaisista kielistä. Olen varsinaisvirolainen ja osaan jonkun verran udmurttia, suomea ynnä muita itämerensuomalaisia kieliä. Seuraavaksi aion oppia saamelaiskieliä. Alussa ehkä voitaisiin oppia yhdessä itämerensuomalaisten kielien äännehistoria sekä vertailevaa kielioppia. Mulla on yksi oppikirja. Voinen laatia muutamat harjoitukset, jos jotakuta kiinnostaa. --131.207.242.129 18. elokuuta 2009 kello 11.59 (UTC)Vastaa

Sain muutama viikko sitten mailin, että wiki-ystävämme olisivat valmiita hyvääksymään meidän esityksen fi.wikiversity.org -projektiksi - t.s. saisimme tämän wikiopistomme tuohon fi.wikiversity.org -osoitteeseen. Toimintaa ja toimijoita tässä beta-wikiversityssä on ollut riittävästi. Kiitos siitä kaikille. Nyt meidän tulisi kertoa ketkä voisivat toimia beaurocrateina and administratoreina (ylläpitäjä) jotka ottavat myös tehtäväkseen sääntöjen ensimmäisen versioiden kirjoittamisen. --Teemu 07:48, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Laita nimesi listaan jos olet kiinnostunut toimimaan Wikiopiston ylläpitäjänä:

Ovatko muut kuin str4nd ja Tarmo vielä aktiivisia ja halukkaita ylläpitäjiksi? Tarmo 25. elokuuta 2009 kello 13.26 (UTC)Vastaa
Näköjään ei, aloitin äänestyksen. Ehdokkaita voi lisätä myös jälkeen päin. — str4nd 28. elokuuta 2009 kello 15.14 (UTC)Vastaa

  • Jaasuo on ollut aktiivinen Wikiopistossa
  • Kylpyamme, olen halukas korjaamaan Wikiopistoa ja parantelemaan sivuja ja kirjoitusvirheitä.

Hmm, kun täällä on kahvihuonekin, miksi ylläpitäjien haentaa ei voitaisi laittaa sinne? --Juusomoro 17. huhtikuuta 2009 kello 17.06 (UTC)Vastaa

Ylläpitäjän oikeuksista olisi hyvä päästä konsensukseen, kun asia on laitettu vireille yli vuosi sitten. Kaikkein selkeintä on toteuttaa äänestys esimerkiksi täällä kahvihuoneessa. Prosessista kiinnostuneille tiedoksi, että ylivalvojat voivat myöntää oikeuksia Metassa vasta sitten, kun yhteisö on päässyt yhteisymmärrykseen oikeuden saajista. — str4nd 22. elokuuta 2009 kello 13.33 (UTC)Vastaa

Ylläpitäjäksi tarvittaisiin toisaalta jo esim. fi.wikipediassa toiminut admin, joka osaa hommat. Toisaalta olisi tarve wikiopistossa aktiiviselle henkilölle, joka osaa ottaa kantaa millaisia sivuja tänne halutaan ja millaisia ei. Wikiopisto on kuitenkin eri asia kuin wikipedia. Tarmo 23. elokuuta 2009 kello 08.00 (UTC)Vastaa
Voin toimia ylläpitäjänä auttaen selvien merkityksettömien sivujen poistoissa, vandaalien ja häirikköjen estoissa sekä muissa rutiininomaisissa tehtävissä. Epäselvissä tapauksissa olisi tosiaan hyvä, että on myös hankkeessa aktiivinen ylläpitäjä, joka on paremmin perillä asioista. — str4nd 23. elokuuta 2009 kello 10.56 (UTC)Vastaa

Äänestys

[muokkaa]

Äänestys uusista ylläpitäjistä.

Ilmeisesti lyhyempi äänestys riitti ylivalvojille, joten nyt Wikiopistossa on kaksi uutta ylläpitäjää. — str4nd 6. syyskuuta 2009 kello 18.24 (UTC)Vastaa

Puhumaan monikielisestä oppimateriaalituotannosta

[muokkaa]

Välitän viestiä Nordens institut i Finlandin puolesta kutsun pohjoismaiseen oppimateriaaliseminaariin 1.12. klo 10-14 Helsingissä. Jos olet kiinnostunut edustamaan Wikiopistoa puolen tunnin ajan, lähetä viestiä minulle mahdollisimman pian. Tilaisuudessa voi puhua suomeksi. Nifin toivoo, että seminaarissa olisi puhumassa henkilö, jolla on 1) kokemusta kansainvälisestä wiki-työstä 2) ehkä jopa pedagogista taustaa, mutta tärkeintä on, että tilaisuuteen saadan joku. Samulili 14. marraskuuta 2009 kello 10.12 (UTC)Vastaa

Kutsu:

Uusi digitaalinen tekniikka tarjoaa jännittäviä mahdollisuuksia pohjoismaiselle yhteistyölle eri alueilla. Yhä useampi internetsivu julkaistaan esimerkiksi useilla pohjoismaisilla kielillä kuvamateriaalin ja layoutin ollessa samat. Minkälaisia yhteistyömahdollisuuksia Pohjoismailla voisi olla oppimateriaalien tuottamisen saralla? Voimmeko löytää uusia muotoja pohjoismaisessa yhteistyössä tällä alueella, ja siten hyötyä toistemme ideoista ja kokemuksista kehittäessämme tulevaisuuden oppimateriaaleja?
Seminaarissa 1. joulukuuta 2009 saamme kuulla oppimateriaaliasiantuntijoiden puheenvuoroja eri Pohjoismaista sekä perehtyä siihen, miten pohjoismaiset organisaatiot tänä päivänä toteuttavat yhteistä markkinointia usealla pohjoismaisella kielellä.
Seminaarin järjestää Pohjoismaiden Suomen instituutti (Nifin). Yhteistyössä mukana Svenska kulturfonden, Föreningen Konstsamfundet, Lisi Wahls stiftelse för studieunderstöd sekä Svenska folkskolans vänner.

Tänään sain lisätiedon, että puhujalle maksetaan matkat ja puhujapalkkio (200 euroa). Vielä voi ilmoittautua huomiseen puoleen päivään asti. Samulili 18. marraskuuta 2009 kello 11.47 (UTC)Vastaa

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

[muokkaa]

Hello Wikimedians, my name is Sam and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Finnish community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into Finnish and suggesting messages that would appeal to Finnish readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

[muokkaa]

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

  • Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
  • New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
  • The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
  • Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
  • Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
  • Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
  • The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
  • More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
  • Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
  • Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
  • Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 15. tammikuuta 2012 kello 00.08 (UTC)

Update on IPv6

[muokkaa]

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

  • At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)
  • In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.
  • We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

Käännös suomeksi:

(Pahoittelut, jos tämä viesti ei ole omalla kielellänne. Harkitsethan sen kääntämistä, samoin kuin tämän ilmoituksen täyden version kääntämistä Metassa.)

Wikimedia Foundation aikoo testata IPv6-protokollaa rajoitetusti 2. ja 3. kesäkuuta. Mikäli ongelmia ei ilmene liikaa, saatamme ottaa IPv6:n kokonaan käyttöön maailman IPv6-päivänä (6. kesäkuuta) ja pitää protokollan aktivoituna.

Teidän hankkeenne tapauksessa tämä merkitsee seuraavaa:

  • Ainakin 2. – 3. kesäkuuta 2012 voi näkyä jonkin verran muokkauksia IPv6-osoitteista, jotka ovat muodossa ”2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334”. Lisätietoja löytyy esimerkiksi sivulta w:en:IPv6 address. IPv6-osoitteiden pitäisi käyttäytyä samoin kuin muidenkin IP-osoitteiden: niiden keskustelusivuille on mahdollista jättää viestejä, niiden muokkauksia kyetään jäljittämään ja niitä voidaan estää. (Avaruusestoja koskevat huomiot löytyvät tämän ilmoituksen täydestä versiosta.)
  • Välivaiheen aikana on tarpeen mukauttaa joitakin käyttäjäskriptejä ja työkaluja IPv6-protokollaa varten.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

[muokkaa]

македонскиnorskpolski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 5. kesäkuuta 2012 kello 18.16 (UTC)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

[muokkaa]

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

[muokkaa]

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

  1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
  2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
  3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Käännös suomeksi:
Kuten osa teistä on saattanut jo kuulla, Wikimedia Deutschland työskentelee uuden Wikimedia-hankkeen parissa. Se on nimeltään Wikidata. Wikidatan tavoitteena on tulla datan keskusvarastoksi Wikipedioita, sen sisarhankkeita ja koko maailmaa varten. Tulevaisuudessa se sisältää sellaisia tietoja kuin maan asukasluvun, kuuluisan henkilön syntymäajan tai joen pituuden. Näitä voidaan käyttää missä tahansa Wikimedia-hankkeessa ja niiden ulkopuolella.
Projekti on jaettu kolmeen vaiheeseen ja ”lähestymme ensimmäisen vaiheen esittelyä”. Vaiheet ovat seuraavat:
  1. kielilinkit Wikipedioissa (mahdollisuus artikkelin eri kieliversioiden välisten linkkien tallentamiseen yhdellä kertaa Wikidataan sen sijaan, että tallentaminen tehdään jokaisessa linkitetyssä artikkelissa)
  2. tietolaatikot (mahdollisuus tietolaatikoiden tällä hetkellä sisältämän datan tallentamiseen keskitetysti yhteen paikkaan sekä kyseisen datan jakamiseen)
  3. luettelot (mahdollisuus sellaisten Wikidata-kyselyihin perustuvien luetteloiden ja vastaavien rakenteiden luomiseen, jotka päivittyvät automaattisesti, kun uutta tietoa lisätään tai tietoja muutetaan)
Olisi hienoa, jos voisitte liittyä meihin, kokeilla esittelyversiota, antaa palautetta ja osallistua Wikidatan kehittämiseen. Kaikki oleellinen tieto, mukaan lukien FAQ sekä linkit wikiuutiskirjeemme tilaamista varten, löytyvät Metan Wikidata-sivulta.
Käytäthän lisäkeskusteluita varten tätä keskustelusivua (mikäli englanniksi kirjoittaminen ei suju sinulta luontevasti, voit kirjoittaa sinne myös omalla äidinkielelläsi). Vaihtoehtoisesti voit ohjata minut paikkaan, jossa keskustelunne tapahtuu, jotta voin vastata siellä.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

[muokkaa]

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

[muokkaa]

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Alkuperäinen otsikko: Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful.

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

Tervehdys. Kuten olette saattaneet huomata Wikimedian tekniikkablogista tai tekniikkalähettiläiden listalta, kaikilla Wikimedia-sivustoilla otetaan tänään käyttöön uusi toiminnallisuus nimeltä ”Lua”. Lua on komentosarjakieli, joka mahdollistaa nopeampien ja tehokkaampien MediaWiki-mallineiden kirjoittamisen.
Jos sinulla on kysymyksiä siitä, miten olemassa olevia mallineita voi muuntaa Lua-kielisiksi (tai kuinka uusien luominen onnistuu), järjestämme kaksi tuki-istuntoa IRC:ssä ensi viikolla: ensimmäinen on keskiviikkona (Oseaniaa, Aasiaa ja Amerikkaa varten) ja toinen perjantaina (Eurooppaa, Afrikkaa ja Amerikkaa varten); yksityiskohtiin voi tutustua sivulla m:IRC office hours. Jos et kykene osallistumaan, apua voi saada myös sivulta mw:Talk:Lua scripting.
Mikäli haluaisit saada tietoa tämän kaltaisista tapahtumista aiemmin etukäteen, harkitse ryhtymistä tekniikkalähettilääksi tilaamalla aiheeseen liittyvä sähköpostilista.

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

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.

TÄRKEÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuustarkistus

[muokkaa]

Hei.

"Edistyneiden käyttäjäoikeuksien" (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti jne.) poistoa koskeava käytäntö hyväksyttiin juuri globaalin yhteisön konsensuksella (yhteisösi sai ilmoituksen keskustelusta). Tämän käytännön mukaan, ylivalvojat tarkistavat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta pienemmissä wikeissä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan wikissänne ei ole käytäntöä "edistyneiden oikeuksien" poistamista varten epäaktiivisilta käyttäjiltä. Tämä tarkoittaa että ylivalvojat huolehtivat täällä siitä uuden käytännön mukaisesti.

Olemme todenneet että seuraavat käyttäjät täyttävät epäaktiivisuuskriteerit (ei muokkauksia tai lokimerkintöjä kahteen vuoteen):

  1. Str4nd (ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoitukset, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu jos he haluavat säilyttää osan tai kaikki käyttöoikeutensa. Jos käyttäjä ei vastaa, ylivalvojat poistavat heidän edistyneet käyttöoikeutensä.

HTTPS for users with an account

[muokkaa]

Greetings. Starting on August 21 (tomorrow), all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. More information is available at m:HTTPS.

If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on bugzilla, on IRC (in the #wikimedia-operations channel) or on meta. If you can't use the other methods, you can also send an e-mail to https@wikimedia.org.

Notifications

[muokkaa]
Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

(This message is in English, please translate as needed)

Greetings!

Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.

We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.

There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:

Introducting Beta Features

[muokkaa]

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 5. marraskuuta 2013 kello 19.52 (UTC)Vastaa

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

[muokkaa]

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16. tammikuuta 2014 kello 06.47 (UTC)Vastaa

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

[muokkaa]

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

Miten tehdä tarpeettoman sivun poisto?

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

[muokkaa]

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

  • April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
  • April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

Media Viewer

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.

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

[muokkaa]
Wikimedia Commons logo

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

  1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
  2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

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) 19. kesäkuuta 2014 kello 21.54 (UTC)Vastaa

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

[muokkaa]

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

[muokkaa]
Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Global AbuseFilter

[muokkaa]

Hei,

AbuseFilter on MediaWiki-laajennus, jota käytetään havaitsemaan todennäköisesti loukkaavat käyttäytymiskuviot, kuten samankaltainen vandalisointi ja mainostaminen. Vuonna 2013 järjestelmänlaajuiset väärinkäyttösuodattimet otettiin käyttöön rajoitetuissa joukoissa wikejä, sisältäen Meta-Wiki, Mediawiki.org, Wikispecies ja kaikki "pienet wikit". Hiljattain järjestelmänlaajuiset väärinkäyttösuodattimet otettiin käyttöön myöskin "keskikokoisissa wikeissä". Näitä suodattimia hallinnoivat tällä hetkellä ylivalvojat Meta-Wikissä ja niiden on havaittu olevan todella tehokkaita Wikimedia-projektien laajuisessa mainoshyökkäysten torjunnassa. Kuitenkaan tällä hetkellä ei ole käytäntöjä siitä, kuinka järjestelmänlaajuisia väärinkäyttösuodattimia hallinnoidaan, vaikkakin ehdotuksia on olemassa. Tällä hetkellä on käynnissä kommenttipyyntö linjauksista koskien järjestelmänlaajuisen väärinkäyttösuodattimen käyttöä. Sillä välin, yksittäiset wikit voivat pyytää järjestelmänlaajuisen väärinkäyttösuodattimen poistamista wikistään. Nämä wikit voivat lisätä pyynnön siitä tälle listalle Meta-Wikissä. Lisätietoa löytyy tältä sivulta Meta-Wikissä. Jos sinulla on kysyttävää, voit kysyä sivulla m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you translated this message!

VisualEditor, a rich-text editor for MediaWiki, will soon be available on this wiki as a Beta Feature. The estimated date of activation is Wednesday, 26 November.

To access it, you will need to visit the Beetaominaisuudet page after the deployment and tick the box next to "⧼Visualeditor-preference-core-label⧽". (If you have enabled the "Ota automaattisesti käyttöön useimmat beetaominaisuudet" option, VisualEditor will be automatically available for you.) There will also be a "⧼Visualeditor-preference-language-label⧽" that you can enable if you need it.

Then, you just have to click on "Muokkaa" to start VisualEditor, or on "Muokkaa wikitekstiä" to edit using wikitext markup. You can even begin to edit pages with VisualEditor and then switch to the wikitext editor simply by clicking on its tab at any point, and you can keep your changes when doing so.

A guide was just published at mediawiki.org so that you can learn how to support your community with this transition: please read and translate it if you can! You will find all the information about the next steps there. Please report any suggestions or issues at the main feedback page.

Jos järjestelmänlaajuinen tunnus kuitenkin on jo jonkun muun hallussa, oman tunnuksensa voi pyytää nimettäväksi uudelleen toimintosivun Special:GlobalRenameRequest kautta – silloin välttää tunnuksensa joutumisen hännälliselle nimelle (tyyliin Koikkalainen~fiwikiversity; huom. byrokraatit eivät nykyään voi muuttaa käyttäjätunnusten nimiä).

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

[muokkaa]

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

[muokkaa]
The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.
How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (keskustelu) 24. heinäkuuta 2015 kello 05.07 (UTC)Vastaa

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on.

Pxos väliaikaiseksi ylläpitäjäksi?

[muokkaa]

Täällä olisi tarve tekniseen ylläpitoon, järjestelmäviestien päivittämiseen ja virheellisten ohjausten korjaamiseen. Haluaisin projektiin väliaikaiset ylläpitäjän oikeudet kolmen kuukauden ajaksi, jotta saan työn tehtyä. Olen ollut ylläpitäjä suomenkielisessä Wikipediassa vuodesta 2012 alkaen, suomenkielisessä Wikiaineistossa kahden vuoden ajan joulukuusta 2013 alkaen ja olin syksyllä 2014 kolmen kuukauden ajan väliaikaisena ylläpitäjänä suomenkielisessä Wikisanakirjassa, missä tein teknistä siivoustyötä. Koska tässä projektissa ei ole yhtään aktiivista ylläpitäjää jäljellä, katson, että väliaikaisista ylläpitäjän oikeuksista olisi tälle projektille hyötyä. Voin samalla myös torjua vandalismia, mikäli sellaista esiintyy täällä. Tämä on käytännön edellyttämä ilmoitus yhteisölle. Toivon kommentteja. --Pxos (keskustelu) 18. marraskuuta 2015 kello 19.07 (UTC)Vastaa

Tämä keskustelu oli avoinna vaaditun viikon ajan, ja koska kommentteja puolesta tai vastaan ei saapunut, minulle myönnettiin Meta-wikissä väliaikaiset ylläpitäjän oikeudet kolmeksi kuukaudeksi (ajalle 28.11.2015–28.2.2016) tänne. Minuun saa yhteyden keskustelusivuni kautta. Koska projektissa ei näytä olevan ketään aktiivista vakinaista ylläpitäjää, saatan pyytää tarpeen mukaan väliaikaisten oikeuksien jatkamista helmikuussa 2016 tai sitten pyrin projektin vakinaiseksi ylläpitäjäksi, jos se tuntuu oikealta. Tämän annan tiedoksi yhteisölle jo nyt. --Pxos (keskustelu) 28. marraskuuta 2015 kello 14.27 (UTC)Vastaa

Jatkoaika

[muokkaa]

Täällä on aivan hurjan paljon järjesteltävää, ja muun muassa luokitusjärjestelmä on olematon tai onneton. Koska siivoilu ja järjestely on minulle vain harrastus, teen sitä kun joudan. En usko, että alun perin ajattelemani kolmen kuukauden aika riittää mihinkään, koska aika kuluu nopeasti, joten pyydän nyt harkitsemaan väliaikaisten yp-oikeuksieni määrajan jatkamista kolmella kuukaudella yhteensä puoleksi vuodeksi niin, että uusi määräaika päättyy vasta 28. toukokuuta 2015. Itse asiassa järkevintä olisi hakea tänne pysyviä oikeuksia, mutta yhteisö on niin olematon, että äänestykseen ei luultavasti osallistuisi ketään. Siksi pyydän nyt oikeuksien säilyttämistä puolen vuoden ajaksi. Tämä on ylivalvojien edellyttämä ilmoitus yhteisölle. --Pxos (keskustelu) 27. joulukuuta 2015 kello 22.18 (UTC)Vastaa

Tässä kävi niin, että ylivalvonta hylkäsi yllä olevan ilmoituksen johdosta tekemäni pyynnön liian aikaisin tehtynä, ja minua kehotettiin tekemään pyyntö vasta "helmikuussa". Koska näyttää siltä, että projektissa ei ole aktiivisia ylläpitäjiä ollenkaan, teen nyt tuon pyynnön uudestaan samoilla perusteilla. Haluaisin jatkoaikaa väliaikaiselle ylläpitäjyydelleni kolme kuukautta niin, että toimikausi päättyy 28. toukokuuta 2016. Lisätietona mainittakoon, että tällä hetkellä projektissa olevien kahden vakituisen ylläpitäjän oikeudet saatetaan poistaa keväällä 2016, koska he ovat olleet liian kauan tekemättä mitään. Jos ylläpitäjät eivät aktivoidu piakkoin, Wikiopisto jää kokonaan vaille ylläpitäjiä viimeistään maalis–huhtikuussa 2016. --Pxos (keskustelu) 9. helmikuuta 2016 kello 10.38 (UTC)Vastaa

Kirjaan tähän tiedoksi, että väliaikainen ylläpitäjyyteni päättyi suunnitellusti 28. toukokuuta 2016, enkä enää ole ylläpitäjä. Kaksi vanhaa passiivista tunnusta ovat edelleen ylläpitäjinä täällä, koska oikeuksien poistoprosessi vaikuttaa hyvin hitaalta. Mikäli he eivät aktivoidu, heidän oikeutensa tullaan kuitenkin lopulta poistamaan, joten tähän projektiin ei enää jää lainkaan ylläpitäjiä. Huomasin itse, että minulla ei ole tarpeeksi aikaa eikä kiinnostusta toimia täällä ylläpitäjänä, joten päätin olla hakematta enää jatkoaikaa tehtävälleni. Sain jotakin tehtyä ensimmäisen kolmen kuukauden aikana (marraskuu 2015 – helmikuu 2016), mutta sen jälkeen en tehnyt enää mitään. Toivon, että joskus tänne löytyy aktiivinen käyttäjä, joka voi ottaa ylläpitäjän tehtävät hoitaakseen. Järjesteltävää riittää kyllä. --Pxos (keskustelu) 29. toukokuuta 2016 kello 09.53 (UTC)Vastaa

Uusi pesti vuonna 2017

[muokkaa]

Haen Metassa uutta väliaikaista ylläpitäjyyttä kolmen kuukauden ajaksi, jotta voin tarvittaessa tuoda (import) tänne aineistoa Wikipediasta. Olin siis vuonna 2016 kuuden kuukauden ajan väliaikainen ylläpitäjä, ja määräaika päättyi ajallaan. Nyt haen uutta toimikautta väliaikaisena ylläpitäjänä. --Pxos (keskustelu) 9. toukokuuta 2017 kello 12.15 (UTC)Vastaa

Ei ole oikein vakuuttavaa, jos ylläpitäjä ei edes tiedä mistä projektissa on kyse. Stryn (keskustelu) 14. toukokuuta 2017 kello 11.51 (UTC)Vastaa
Sitten on syytä valita sellainen ylläpitäjä, joka tietää. Mistäpä löytyisi? Jos lisäksi on vielä niin, että tänne ei tarvitsekaan tuoda Wikipediasta mitään, koska Wikipediasta tehdään Wikikorkeakoulu, niin en edes tee ylläpitotyökaluilla mitään. --Pxos (keskustelu) 15. toukokuuta 2017 kello 19.35 (UTC)Vastaa
Kävin peruuttamassa hakemuksen. Projektin on syytä löytää keskuudestaan joku aktiivikäyttäjä ylläpitäjäksi, joka voi sitten tarvittaessa käyttää Tuonti-toimintoa, jos pyydetään. Kun asia ei ole ajankohtainen, niin en minä tarvitse yp-oikeuksia varalle mahdollista tuontia varten. --Pxos (keskustelu) 16. toukokuuta 2017 kello 20.30 (UTC)Vastaa

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

Password Strength RFC

Hei

Olemme aloittaneet Metassa kommenttipyynnön, jonka tavoitteena on lisätä salasanoihin liittyviä vaatimuksia niiden tunnusten kohdalla, jotka pystyvät muokkaamaan sivua MediaWiki:Common.js, käyttämään osoitepaljastintyökalua tai tekemään häivytyksiä.

Sivustoillamme tällaisilla tunnuksilla pääsee käsiksi arkaluonteiseen tietoon, ja ne voivat aiheuttaa todellista vahinkoa vääriin käsiin joutuessaan. Tällä hetkellä ainoa vaatimus on se, että salasanan on oltava vähintään yhden kirjaimen pituinen. Haluaisimme asettaa vähimmäispituudeksi 8 kirjainta (tavua) ja kieltää tietyt hyvin yleiset salasanat.

Toivomme saavamme Wikimedia-wikit kaikille turvallisemmiksi lisäämällä vaatimuksia, jotka koskevat erityisoikeuksia hallussaan pitävien tunnusten salasanoja. Voit lukea ehdotuksen kokonaisuudessaan ja kertoa oman mielipiteesi kommenttipyynnön yhteydessä.

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

No editing two times this week

[muokkaa]

Wikimedia Foundation testaa uusinta Dallasin datakeskustaan. Tämä varmistaa sen, että Wikipedia ja muut Wikimedian wikit pysyvät käytössä jopa katastrofin jälkeen. Varmistaaksemme että kaikki toimii, Wikimedian tekniikkaosaston pitää järjestää suunniteltu testi. Testi näyttää voivatko he vaihtaa luotettavasti yhdestä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Se vaatii monien tiimien valmistumista testiä varten ja paikalla oloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

He siirtävät kaiken liikenteen uuteen datakeskukseen tiistaina 19. huhtikuuta.
Torstaina 21. huhtikuuta he vaihtavat takaisin ensisijaiseen datakeskukseen.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät näiden kahden vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, ja yritämme minimoida tämän tulevaisuudessa.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta et muokata.

  • Et voi muokata noin 15-30 minuutin ajan torstaina 19. huhtikuuta ja torstaina 21. huhtikuuta, alkaen klo 14.00 UTC (17.00 suomen aikaa).
  • Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota kunnes kaikki vaikuttaa jälleen normaalilta. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Mutta suosittelemme sinua varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

  • Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
  • There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April. No non-essential code deployments will take place.

Tämä testi oli alun perin suunniteltu tapahtuvan 22. maaliskuuta. 19. ja 21. huhtikuuta ovat uudet päivät. Voit katsoa aikataulun sivulta wikitech.wikimedia.org. He ilmoittavat kaikista muutoksista koskien aikataulua. Ilmoitamme vielä lisää tästä. Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa. /Johan (WMF) (keskustelu) 17. huhtikuuta 2016 kello 22.08 (UTC)Vastaa

Hi everyone :)

A while ago you received access to the interwiki links from Wikidata. Everything seems to be going well so I'd like to move on to the second stage. You will get access to the actual data in Wikidata like the date of birth of a person. You'll be able to make use of them in your templates via Lua or a new parser function (#property). We'll be enabling this on May 3rd. I hope this will open up great new possibilities for you and make your work easier. If you have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Project chat or d:Wikidata:Wikiversity.

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

TÄRKEÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuustarkistus

[muokkaa]

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "kehittyneiden oikeuksien" poistoa (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, jne.) hyväksyttiin yhteisön konseksuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaan ylivalvojat tarkastelevat aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole inaktiivisuuskäytäntöä. Parhaan tietämyksemme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "kehittyneiden oikeuksien" poistamiseksi inaktiivisilta tunnuksilta. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat siitä ylläpitäjien aktiivisuustarkistuksen mukaan.

Olemme määrittäneet, että seuraavat käyttäjät täyttävät inaktiivisuuskriteerin (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli 2 vuoteen):

  1. Str4nd (ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat ilmoituksen pian, jossa heiltä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, jos he haluavat säilyttää jonkin tai kaikki oikeutensa. Jos käyttäjät eivät vastaa, ylivalvojat tulevat poistamaan heidän kehittyneet oikeutensa.

Kuitenkin, jos yhteisönä haluaisitte tehdä oman aktiivisuuden tarkistusprosessin syrjäyttäen järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön, tehdä toisenlaisen päätöksen koskien näitä inaktiivisia oikeuksienhaltijoita, tai jos teillä on jo käytäntö, jota emme huomanneet, ota yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä, jotta tiedämme, että emme käsittele oikeuksien tarkastelua wikissäsi.

Salasanan nollaaminen

[muokkaa]

Meillä on ongelmia hyökkääjien kanssa, jotka ottavat haltuunsa sellaisten käyttäjien wikitunnuksia, joilla on edistyneitä käyttöoikeuksia (kuten ylläpitäjät, byrokraatit, häivyttäjät, osoitepaljastajat). Vaikuttaa siltä, että tämä saattaa johtua heikoista tai useammassa paikassa käytettävistä salasanoista.

Yhteisön jäsenet työskentelevät yhdessä useiden järjestön tiimien kanssa selvittääkseen ongelman.

Tällä välin pyydämme, että jokainen miettii salasanaansa, jonka he ovat valinneet wikitunnuksilleen. Jos tiedät, että olet valinnut heikon salasanan, tai jos olet valinnut salasanan, jota käytät muuallakin, vaihda nämä salasanat.

Valitse vahva salasana -- kahdeksan tai useamman merkin sisältävän, jossa on kirjaimia, numeroita ja välimerkkejä. Joe Sutherland (keskustelu) / MediaWiki message delivery (keskustelu) 13. marraskuuta 2016 kello 23.32 (UTC)Vastaa

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

[muokkaa]

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

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

Improved search in deleted pages archive

[muokkaa]

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

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

Uudet suodattimet muutosten tarkasteluun siirtyy pois beetavaiheesta

[muokkaa]

Wikimedian Collaboration-tiimi aikoo tuoda Uudet suodattimet muutosten tarkasteluun -ominaisuuden tarkkailulistalle oletuksena tässä wikissä 25. kesäkuuta alkavalla viikolla sen poistuessa beetavaiheesta. Käyttäjät, jotka haluavat pitää vanhanmallisen tarkkailulistan, voivat vaihtaa siihen uuden asetuksen avulla.

Uudet suodattimet tuovat helpomman ja tehokkaamman käyttöliittymän tarkkailulistalle, sekä uusia suodattimia ja muita työkaluja, joiden avulla muutosten tarkastelu on tehokkaampaa. Näihin sisältyy live-päivitykset, käyttäjien määrittämät korostukset, mahdollisuus luoda suodatinjoukkoja ja tallentaa niitä myöhempää käyttöä varten sekä koneoppimista hyödyntävät prediktiiviset suodattimet (wikeissä joissa on ORES käytössä). Jos et vielä tunne näitä uusia suodattimia, voit kokeilla niitä tarkkailulistallasi aktivoimalla Uudet suodattimet muutosten tarkasteluun -toiminnon. Ohjesivulla on ohjeita työkalujen käyttöön.

Yli 70 000 käyttäjää on aktivoinut tämän beetatoiminnon, joka on ollut kokeilukäytössä tarkkailulistalla yli kahdeksan kuukauden ajan. Toiminnon pitäisi olla vakaa ja tehokas, mutta jos sinulla on ajatuksia koskien näitä työkaluja tai beetavaiheesta poistumista, kerro siitä projektin keskustelusivulla tai tässä.

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjät) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

Thanks!

Update on the consultation about office actions

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. elokuuta 2019 kello 08.03 (UTC)

Hei. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi if necessary. Kiitos!

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

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

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

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 2. heinäkuuta 2020 kello 19.52 (UTC)

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

[muokkaa]

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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, Wikiopisto 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

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

[muokkaa]

Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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

[muokkaa]

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

[muokkaa]

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

[muokkaa]

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 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.

TÄRKEÄÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden tarkastus

[muokkaa]

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamista (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjä jne.) otettiin käyttöön yhteisön konsensuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaisesti ylivalvojat arvioivat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole käytäntöä aktiivisuuden vähäisyydestä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamiseksi tunnuksilta, jotka eivät ole aktiivisia. Tämä tarkoittaa, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat asiasta ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden arvioinnin nojalla.

Katsomme, että seuraavat käyttäjät ovat määritelmän mukaan passiivisia (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli kahteen vuoteen):

  1. Tarmo (ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoituksen, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, mikäli he haluavat säilyttää jonkin käyttöoikeutensa tai kaikki oikeudet. Jos käyttäjät eivät reagoi tähän viestiin, ylivalvojat poistavat heiltä edistyneet käyttöoikeudet.

Mikäli te yhteisönä haluatte laatia oman menetelmänne aktiivisuuden tutkimiseen, joka tulee järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön tilalle, tai jos haluatte tehdä toisenlaisen ratkaisun koskien näitä passiivisia käyttöoikeuden haltijoita tai jos teillä on olemassa oleva käytäntö, jota emme ole huomanneet, ottakaa yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä. Näin saamme asiasta tiedon emmekä suorita jatkossa käyttöoikeuksien arviointia wikissänne. Kiitos, Stanglavine (keskustelu) 4. tammikuuta 2022 kello 15.45 (UTC)Vastaa

Bot policy

[muokkaa]

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

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 24. tammikuuta 2022 kello 02.01 (UTC)Vastaa

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.

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

[muokkaa]

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.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines

[muokkaa]

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.

Desktop Improvements update

[muokkaa]
Making this the new default

Hei. I wanted to give you an update about the Desktop Improvements project, which the Wikimedia Foundation Web team has been working on for the past few years. Our work is almost finished! 🎉

We would love to see these improvements become the default for readers and editors across all wikis. In the coming weeks, we will begin conversations on more wikis, including yours. 🗓️ We will gladly read your suggestions!

The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more. The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in French, Portuguese, and Persian.

The changes apply to the Vector skin only, although it will always be possible to revert to the previous version on an individual basis. Monobook or Timeless users will not notice any changes.

The newest features
  • Table of contents - our version is easier to reach, gain context of the page, and navigate throughout the page without needing to scroll. It is currently tested across our pilot wikis. It is also available for editors who have opted into the Vector 2022 skin.
  • Page tools - now, there are two types of links in the sidebar. There are actions and tools for individual pages (like Related changes) and links of the wiki-wide nature (like Recent changes). We are going to separate these into two intuitive menus.
How to enable/disable the improvements
Järjestelmänlaajuiset asetukset
  • It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by selecting "Vektori (2022)". Also, it is possible to opt-in on all wikis using the global preferences.
  • On wikis where the changes are visible by default for all, logged-in users can always opt-out to the Legacy Vector. There is an easily accessible link in the sidebar of the new Vector.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

[muokkaa]
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?

[muokkaa]
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

[muokkaa]

[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?

[muokkaa]

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

[muokkaa]

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. syyskuuta 2022 kello 04.15 (UTC)Vastaa

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions

[muokkaa]
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.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee

[muokkaa]

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!

Hello,

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

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

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

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

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

[muokkaa]

Hello all,

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

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

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

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

[muokkaa]

Read this in your languageAuta kääntämisessä kielellesi • Please tell other users about these changes

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

Järjestelmänlaajuiset asetukset

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

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

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

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

About the skin

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our plan

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 31 October. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (keskustelu) 18. lokakuuta 2023 kello 23.51 (UTC)Vastaa

  • Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
  • Compensation is available.
  • Sessions will be held in January and February.
  • Sign up here if you are interested.
  • Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

[muokkaa]
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.

[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.

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

Individual vote:

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

Affiliates vote:

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

The Charter Electoral Commission,

Abhinav619, Borschts, Iwuala Lucy, Tochiprecious, Der-Wir-Ing

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!

[muokkaa]

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.

We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:

Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change.
