La [[:w:Vikipedio:Peto pri komento/Anstataŭigo de x-konvertado en Vikipedio|koncerna Peto pri komento]] finiĝis kun klarega rezulto por ŝanĝi manieron de x-sistemo de malnova al nova per Universala LingvoElektilo. Mi lanĉas la saman diskuton pri ŝanĝo en Esperanta Vikilibroj. Kiel vi certe scias, Esperantaj viki-projektoj montras Esperantajn ĉapelitajn literojn tute bone, sed dum redaktado de kodo ili aperas uzante x-sistemon. Do, en artikolo estas montrite <code>eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde</code>, kvankam la kodo aspektas <code>ehxosxangxo cxiujxauxde</code>. Kvankam la funkcio funkcias por kutima redaktado, ĝi ĉiam faras ĝenajn problemojn, kelkajn el ili mi listigas sube. Tiu ĉi funkcio estis aldonita en fruega komenco de Vikipedio, kiam ankaŭ interreto (en multaj landoj) ne estis signife disvastiĝinta, tajpado de ĉapelitaj literoj per komputilo estis (precipe por neteĥnikistoj) koŝmaro kaj retfoliumiloj estis sufiĉe primitivaj. Mi memoras, ke en tiu tempo mi ankoraŭ uzadis diskedojn... Intertempe la aferoj ege ŝanĝiĝis - nuntempe eblas tute bone tajpi ĉapelitajn literojn en ĉiuj gravaj komputilaj operaciumoj kaj modernaj retfoliumiloj provizas mirindajn eblojn. [[Dosiero:ULS-Input-Search-es.png|eta|Aspekto de Universala LingvoElektilo por Esperanto]] Nuntempe en Esperanta Vikilibroj (kaj aliaj projektoj) funkcias etendaĵo [[:mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universala LingvoElektilo]], per kiu ankaŭ eblas tajpi ĉapelitaj literojn, ne nur per x-metodo, sed ankaŭ h-metodo, Zamenhofa h-metodo kaj aliaj <small>([[:mediawikiwiki:Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods#Esperanto|detala priskribo por interesiĝantoj]])</small>. Universalan LingvoElektilon vi povas provi dum vi redaktas artikolon - dekstre en tekstujo dum tajpado kaj por kelkaj sekundoj post tajpado aperas kesteto kun sageto, alklaku ĝin, elektu Esperanton kaj iom testu. Eblas ŝanĝi agordojn de Esperanta Vikilibroj tiel, ke Universala LingvoElektilo estus defaŭlte ŝaltita por ĉiuj kun specifa konverta metodo, ekzemple x-metodo. Por absolutega plejparto de uzantoj, inklude neensalutiĝintaj, tio funkcius preskaŭ same - nura diferenco estus, ke ĉapelitaj literoj montriĝadus jam dum tajpado kaj estus videblaj jam ekde komenco de redaktado. Por tiu funkcio tamen estas bezonata Ĝavoskripto (JavaScript), kiun tamen subtenas ĉiuj modernaj retfoliumiloj. ; Kiel funkcias la Universala Lingvo-Selektilo?

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 [[:mw:Universal_Language_Selector/Compact_Language_Links|the documentation]]. From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. 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 [[:mw:Talk:Universal_Language_Selector/Compact_Language_Links|project talk page]] or on this discussion thread. 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 [[phab:T131455|this phabricator ticket]] (in English). Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use [[:m:Global_message_delivery|MassMessage]] for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

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 <code>Special:Undelete</code> page, and add <code>&fuzzy=1</code> 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).

'''Problems''' * When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia.

'''Recent changes''' * On Wikidata, the "{{int:wikibase-save}}" button when you edit is now called "{{int:wikibase-publish}}". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "{{int:savearticle}}" to "{{int:publishchanges}}". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161367][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131132] * Some edits will get an automatic [[Special:Tags|tag]] on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167656] * [[Special:UnusedFiles|Special:UnusedFiles]] shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new [[c:Special:GloballyUnusedFiles|Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons]] only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183673] * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions|Structured discussions]] now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation [[mw:Help:Structured_Discussions/Quick_tour#basics|has been updated]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155861][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178719] '''Problems''' * Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work.

When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183910] * The latest version of [[w:en:Google Chrome|Google Chrome]] broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see <code>#R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9</code> instead of <code>#Résumé</code> even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March).

Because of this '''you will be able to read but not edit''' Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 [[w:en:Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]] on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis.

La raporton mi ankoraŭ preparas, sed mi konscize diru, ke ni decidis puŝi nian grupon al pli alta nivelo kun funkcianta strukturo (pri tio mi sendos memstaran mesaĝon) kaj ĝis 2 jaroj iĝi ''[[meta:Wikimedia thematic organizations/eo|Tema Organizo]]'' de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kaj (dum nedefinita tempo) ''Faka Asocio'' de UEA. Ni lernis pri novaj (aŭ nove malkovritaj) iloj por helpi al laboro de redaktantoj kaj organizantoj, ekz. [[meta:Special:MyLanguage/Community Capacity Map|Mapo de komunumaj kapabloj]], [[w:Ŝablono:Uzanto sandbox+]], [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/ Stirpanelo por programoj kaj eventoj] kaj [https://tools.wmflabs.org/userviews/ UserViews]. Tio estas vere mojosaj iloj, certe provu ilin! Granda parto de la konferenco estis la 2a fazo de konsultado por la Strategia direkto de la [[meta:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/eo|Vikimedia movado 2030]]. Ĉar estas ĝenerala konsidero, ke per nuntempa laborado ni ne atingos la trovitan vizion, en la tutmonda vikimedia movado komenciĝis tempo de prikonsiderado de ĉio ajn kaj sekve estas akceptataj ankaŭ disrompaj ideoj (ĝis grado de malfondo de ĉiuj komisionoj kaj organizoj). Aŭdiĝis ankaŭ la opinio, ke la internacia vikimedia movado prefere transiru de uzado de la angla al Esperanto, ĉar ĝi estas multe pli justa - la opinion prezentis neesperantisto! Li laŭpete tion deklaris ankaŭ dum videoregistrado - la videon mi publikigos baldaŭ. Parolante pri videoj... Mi faris kelkajn mallongajn video-monologojn kun kelkaj homoj kun intresaj ideoj. Ĝi estis tre improvizita, ĉar mi ĝin pripensis maljam veturante al la konferenco. Tamen, mi havas plurajn bonajn registraĵojn, kiujn mi publikigados dum sekvaj tagoj (tamen ne tuj) en la YouTube-kanalo de ELiSo, do [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe6epPgJ2jvsWxbQxeL6kUg?sub_confirmation=1 ekabonu la kanalon jam nun] por esti sciigita tuj post publikigo (kaj memoru klaki la sonorileton por ''vere'' ricevi la sciigojn...). Do, jen fino de tiu ĉi baza sciigo! Nome de nia grupeto de reprezentantoj mi denove dankas pro esperantista subteno de nia partopreno kaj mi antaŭĝojas nian pli intensan kunlaboradon en kaj ekster Vikipedio, kiu ĵuse plikonkretiĝias.

En mia antaŭa mesaĝo mi koncize (nu, eble ne tiom koncize...) prezentis superrigardon pri parto de Esperanta agado dum la Vikimedia Konferenco 2018. Pluraj el unuopaj punktoj tamen bezonas aktivan partoprenon de ĝuste vi! Ankaŭ la jena. Nia grupo estis sub la nomo ''[[w:Esperanto kaj Libera Scio|Esperanto kaj Libera Scio]]'' oficiale rekonita fare de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kiel ''[[meta:Wikimedia user groups/eo|Vikimedia Uzanto-Grupo]]'' en 2013. Ekde tiam ni funkcias kiel neformala grupo kun distribuita (ni povas diri "laŭokaza") gvidado. Tio certagrade funkcias (ja vidu [[meta:Special:MyLanguage/Esperanto kaj Libera Scio/Reports|niajn ĝisnunajn sukcesojn]] kaj nune faratan laboron, ekz. [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Wiki Loves ZEOs 2018|Vikio amas ZEOjn]]). Sed dum la kunsido dum la Konferenco ni unuanime konstatis, ke ni povas atingi pli multe, helpi al pli da homoj kaj disvastigi vikimedion pli foren se ni pli intence zorgos pri bontenado kaj evoluo de niaj strukturo kaj strategio. Tial ni starigis laborgrupon, kiu nin gvidos tra la procezo de starigo de tiu strukturo. Ni ankaŭ konscias, ke ne ĉiuj povis partopreni dum la konferenco kaj ke indas inkludi homojn kun diversaj kapabloj kaj talentoj por atingi elstaran sukceson! Tial '''ni invitas vin al la laborgrupo por gvidi ELiSon al sekva nivelo!''' ; Kio estos la laboro? : En la laborgrupo ni unue diskutos estontecon de ELiSo. Mi antaŭvidas 2-3 videovokojn kaj intertempan retpoŝtumadon kaj prilaboradon de dokumentoj. Laŭ rezultoj de tiuj diskutoj ni faros sekvajn agojn. Ni ĝenerale supozas, ke ni gvidos verkadon de statuto laŭ kiu ĉiu ELiSano elektos estraron. Detaloj estas por laborgrupa diskuto. ; Kiel aliĝi al la laborgrupo? : Ĝis la '''13a de Majo 2018 23:59 UTC''' deklaru vian intencon aliĝi per retmesaĝo al la dissendolisto [[mail:eliso|eliso]], al [[Special:EmailUser/KuboF_Hromoslav|mi persone]] aŭ en la [[w:eo:Vikipedio:Diskutejo/Diversejo#Novaliĝintoj|Diskutejo de la Esperanta Vikipedio]]. ; Ĉu aliĝante al la laborgrupo oni eniras estraron? : Ne. La laborgrupo ekzistos por gvidi procezon por ekhavi funkciantan kaj firman strukturon; kiam tio estos atingita, la laborgrupo disiĝos. Membroj de la laborgrupo estas tre bonvenaj kaj invitataj plufunkcii en gvida rolo en ELiSo, sed tio ne estas deviga. Ĉiuokaze, precizan strukturon de estonta ELiSo ni interkonsentos en la laborgrupo kaj ni antaŭvidas diversajn manierojn kiel partopreni en ELiSo, ĉu en "estraro" aŭ ekster ĝi. ; Kiuj estas membroj de la laborgrupo? : Dume estas 5 homoj: Leidy Sandoval Galindez, [[User:Sahaquiel9102|Juan Quintero Santacruz]], [[User:Remux|Ivan Quintero Santacruz]], [[User:Psychoslave|Mathieu Stumpf Guntz]] kaj mi ([[User:KuboF Hromoslav|KuboF Hromoslav]]).

The [[mw:Reading/Web/Team|Readers web team]] has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues. So far, we have [[mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues|drafted a proposal on the design and implementation]] of the project. We were also able to run [[mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues/Research Results|user testing on the proposed designs]]. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned: * The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode. * Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work * Readers care about page issues and consider them important * Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please [[mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues|visit the project page]] where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues|leave feedback on the talk page]]. </div> [[m:User:CKoerner (WMF)|CKoerner (WMF)]] ([[m:User talk:CKoerner (WMF)|talk]]) 20:58, 12 jun. 2018 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:CKoerner (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:CKoerner_(WMF)/Sandbox&oldid=18120916 --> == [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2018/25|Tech News: 2018-25]] == <section begin="technews-2018-W25"/><div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

({{int:please-translate}}) I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wiki projects and languages. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot ''DiBabelYurikBot'' can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see [[mw:WP:TNT|project page]] for details and ask questions on talk page. P.S. I am [[meta:Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2019/Nominations/Yuri_Astrakhan_(yurik)|currently running]] for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any [[meta:Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2019/Eligible_entities|registered user group]] can vote).

The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects. We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes. We would like individual feedback on the following: * Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered * Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know * Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building. When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project: * Make it easier for readers to focus on the content * Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing) * Put things in logical and useful places * Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps * Eliminate clutter * Plan for future growth As well as the following constraints: * Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves * Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain * No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors Please give all feedback (in any language) at [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements]] After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive.

La Ministerio de internaj aferoj de Slovakio, kiel la respondeca institucio pri tiaj registroj, nin registris la 23an de Decembro 2019 (pro granda laborŝarĝo de la ministerio tiutempe mi ricevis la konfirmon nur nun). Tiu ĉi plia sukcesa paŝo provizas ankaŭ momenton por haltiĝi kaj iom rememori unuflanke, kaj rigardi en estontecon duaflanke. (sube estas nur koncizega superrigardo) Ekde la unuaj pripensoj pri organizita grupo de Esperantlingvaj vikimedianoj elstare agadis precipe Ziko van Dijk (k.a. la unua instigo pri rekono laŭ tiam nova modelo de organizoj), Arno Lagrange (fina puŝo por rekono), Peter Baláž (k.a. morala, organiza kaj aliaj subtenoj), Marek Blahuš, Universero Trio kaj mi (oficialaj subskribintoj por la kontrakto pri rekono). Specife por formala registriĝo laboris la Prepara komisiono (Michal Matúšov, Leidy Sandoval Galindez, Juan Quintero Santacruz, Ivan Quintero Santacruz, Mathieu Stumpf Guntz, Michel Castelo Branco, Nicolas Maia kaj Václav Zouzalík). Danke al tiuj ĉiuj homoj ni havis pretajn ĉiujn necesajn aferojn. La oficialaj fondintoj estas Michal Matúšov, Peter Baláž kaj Matthieu Desplantes. Mi deziris, ke pli multaj homoj, kiuj laboris pri la fondo povu esti oficialaj fondintoj (ili ja meritus tion), sed pro la koncernaj leĝoj ni bezonis Slovakianojn. Neoficiale ili ĉiuj tamen tenas tiun honoran lokon! Fine, al la fondo finance helpis Václav Zouzalík, efektive ebligante la fondon. Mi dankas al ĉiuj tiuj homoj, kiuj sindoneme laboris por venigi ELiSon al sekva nivelo! Ne necesas emfazi, ke formala fondo estas nur unu el multaj paŝoj por atingi nian mision pri mondo, en kiu ĉiu homo povas libere partopreni en la tuta sciaro de homaro. Ni jam nun estas en kontakto kun la Komisiono pri aligitaj organizoj de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio kun la celo esti rekonitaj kiel Vikimedia Tema organizo (simila al Esperantaj Fakaj asocioj) en 2020, kun ŝanĝo de nomo supozeble al Vikimedio Esperanto. Post tiu rekono ni iĝos oficialaj reprezentantoj de Esperanto en la Vikimedia mondo. Kun TEJO ni antaŭnelonge planis komunan partoprenon en interkontinenta projekto kun subvencio de la Eŭropkomisiona programo Erasmo+; pro prokrastita fondo ni ne povis aliĝi, sed ni jam havas bazon por sekva partopreno. Estas antaŭ ni multa laboro kaj en certa tempo nin povos helpi ankaŭ pluraj dungitoj. Dum nia agado ni ne nur faros utilan kaj helpan laboron, sed ni ankaŭ disvolviĝos kiel organizo kaj ankaŭ kiel homoj; ni ankaŭ kontribuos al disvolviĝo de la Esperanta kaj la Vikimedia movadoj (kiel niaj "gepatraj"), sed ankaŭ al pli ĝeneralaj movadoj, kiel la liberkultura kaj la eduka - sur kies ŝultroj ni staras kaj kiuj subtenas nin. Fine, ni ankaŭ memoru, ke ni fakte estas pioniroj! Ni piedbatas kaj montras la vojon al aliaj, kiuj venos post ni, fondos siajn proprajn Esperantlingvajn Vikimediajn organizojn, lernos ankaŭ de ni kaj en sia niĉo suksesos espereble eĉ pli rapide ol ni faris. La estonteco estas granda kaj vi estas bonvena (plu)kun-iri! nome de la Prepara komisiono --[[Uzanto:KuboF Hromoslav|KuboF Hromoslav]] ([[Uzanto-Diskuto:KuboF Hromoslav|diskuto]]) 16:16, 1 mar. 2020 (UTC) == [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/10|Tech News: 2020-10]] == <section begin="technews-2020-W10"/><div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="eo" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

Bedaŭrinde inter aktivaj aŭtoroj estas neniu kiu verkas pri la Esperanto-movado kaj tio evidente kaŭzas la maloftan aperon de novaĵoj pri kiel “vivas” Esperanto-mondo. De la alia flanko tio permesas eliri el la kadroj de la Esperanto-komunumo kaj prezenti neŭtralan vidpunkton pri okazaĵoj en la mondo.

Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia == <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> Hi all, It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new. This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 <ref>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]</ref> after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world. The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language. As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation <ref>[[m:User:Denny|User:Denny]]</ref>. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams. It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project. We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions. There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list <ref>[[mail:abstract-wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia mailing list]]</ref>. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path. Yours, Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation) <references/> </div> <small>Sent by [[:m:User:Elitre (WMF)]] 19:56, 9 jul. 2020 (UTC) - '''[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/July 2020 announcement]]''' </small> <!-- Message sent by User:Elitre (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Elitre_(WMF)/All_wikis_June_2020&oldid=20265886 --> == [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/29|Tech News: 2020-29]] == <section begin="technews-2020-W29"/><div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems. They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on '''Tuesday, September 1st 2020'''. Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. '''You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.''' *You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20200901T14 14:00 UTC] (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2). *If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case. ''Other effects'': *Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped. *There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen. This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Schedule for 2018 switch|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

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 <tt>WP:NPOV</tt>, 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, {{SITENAME}} 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 [[:m:User talk:Martin Urbanec|ask me]] if you have any questions about this proposal.

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

After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs committee (CAC)]] of the Board [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/JAYQN3NYKCHQHONMUONYTI6WRKZFQNSC/ 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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee|UCoC Drafting Committees]] have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee#Revisions_Committee|here]], as well as read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee/Phase_2_meeting_summaries#2022|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 facilitate [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|steward]] granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Bot policy|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 [[m:Bot policy#Global_bots|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Bot policy|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.
