Afbeelding van de week bewirk

Er mag best wel wat kleur worden gebracht aan deze pagina. Mijn suggestie aan jullie is het toevoegen van een wekelijkse afbeelding die uitbeeldt wat precies speelt in dat tijdsbestek.

 
Avicii

Om te beginnen stel ik voor een plaatje van Avicii die de gemoederen bezighoudt over de hele wereld.

Als voorproefje: 28 jaor awwe Zjwaedse elektro-dancemeziekant Avicii sjterf in Oman

Het lukt mij alleen niet om de bronnenlijst open te krijgen. Kan iemand hiernaar kijken? Alcomilk

Alderieës, wilkóm! Doe maags hie gerös op 't plat sjrieve!
Danke veur dien artikel; ich höb 't drek efkes naogelaeze en her en der get ane spèlling verangerdj. De brónnelies wirk hie neet ómdet v'r hie neet mit e brónsjebloean wirke. Ich höb 't verangerdj zodet 't noe waal wirk.

Ik hou het voorlopig op het Nederlands. Dat gaat mij namelijk een stuk beter af dan al die accentjes typen, Mijn dank is groot voor de verbeteringen. Ik zal deze voor de toekomst in mijn achterhoofd houden, zodat ik mijn Limburgse spelling naar behoren kan brengen. Alcomilk

Recent changes bewirk

De recent changes hebben de afgelopen tijd te maken met een malfunctie, maar ik weet niet precies waar deze vandaan moet komen. Wel kan ik vertellen dat ik erachter ben gekomen hoe ik dit kan oplossen.

Met de link: [1] kom je namelijk terug op de recent changes zoals die was voordat het brak. Alcomilk (talk) 18:16, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Na het openen van de link moet je trouwens wel nog even verversen door op "Show" te klikken. Alcomilk (talk) 18:18, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Dat ervaar ik dan toch echt wel anders. Namelijk, door het feit dat ik geen enkel probleem ondervindt bij de recente veranderingen. Toegeven moet ik wel dat ik altijd de mobiele telefoon gebruik en nooit op de computer zit. Zou het hieraan kunnen liggen?
Verder is het misschien een idee om terug te gaan naar de oude versie van deze speciale pagina. Deze vereist geen JavaScript en is een stuk eenvoudiger in elkaar gezet. Ikzelf gebruik nog steeds de oude versie. Je kunt de instellingen aanpassen onder het desbetreffende tabblad in jouw voorkeuren, in de balk rechstboven. Benopat (talk) 18:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Bedankt voor de tips! Ik gebruik inderdaad een desktop, dus het kan heel goed dat het hieraan ligt. Ik ben zelf toch verknot aan de versie zoals ik die ken. Ik ben geen oude rot in het vak, dus voor mij is oud juist nieuw, want de oude versies ben ik niet mee opgegroeid, en dus ook niet bekend mee. De oplossing die ik heb gevonden werkt prima, dus ik hou het daarbij. Ik wilde het gewoon even kenbaar maken aan jullie! Alcomilk (talk) 18:30, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Ich weit 't onneet, went ich gebroek 'ne computer mitte aaj recènte verangeringen en Monobook. Ich ervaar gein perbleme es get esthetische zake :) --OWTB (talk) 14:11, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Als meerdere gebruikers hier toch blijkbaar last van hebben, zou ik zeker een melding maken van dit voorval. Ik vermoed dat we hier namelijk te maken hebben met een bug in de software. Dat lijkt me toch wel vermeldingswaardig bij de betreffende instantie. Alcomilk (talk) 17:29, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Ik zie net dat het probleem inmiddels al is verholpen! Er is dus niks meer aan de hand. Alcomilk (talk) 19:15, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Det is good óm te huuere! :) --OWTB (talk) 11:09, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Bronnen bij werk van eigen redactie bewirk

We geven op dit moment de bronnen aan onder een subtekst "Brónne". Eerst was dit nog niet het geval, maar het lijkt nu enigszins te hebben aangeslagen. Ik vind dit systeem goed werken, maar weet niet wat er moet gebeuren bij artikelen die volledig door de eigen redactie zijn geschreven, als voorbeeld wil ik hier graag Aovendjhits in Midde-Limbörg erbij pakken.

Heeft dit verder implicaties met verplicht bronvermelden? In andere woorden, moeten wij per se bronnen toevoegen of hoeft dat niet? Is dan een disclaimer nodig dat we het zelf 'uit de duim hebben gezogen'?

De andere vraag die mij nog resteert is, of het überhaupt kan dat wij eigen verhalen vanuit de redactie schrijven. Valt dat namelijk niet onder original research? Alcomilk (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Voor zover ik weet hebben wij hier nooit afspraken over gemaakt. Ik geloof dat we in zo'n geval geen bronnen aangeven. Persoonlijk lijkt het mij inderdaad duidelijk om te kiezen voor de variant waarbij pagina's die zijn geschreven door de eigen redactie, worden voorzien van een bronnenkopje waaronder wordt vermeld dat het werk afkomstig is van de eigen redactie.
Dat geeft dan ook deels antwoord op je tweede vraag: Bronnen vermelden is een verplichting. Voor de duidelijkheid is mijn oplossing zoals hierboven dan ook een goede oplossing.
M.b.t. original research: Ik geloof dat we hier op een vaag gebied zitten. De algemene tendens is dat dit voor kleinere talen en projecten zoals Wikinews over het algemeen wordt gedoogd. Benopat (talk) 17:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Nou, dan stel ik voor dat we vanaf nu gewoon bij ieder artikel dat wordt geschreven door de eigen redactie gaan vermelden dat het is geschreven door de eigen redactie. Mocht ik nog artikels tegenkomen die hieraan voldoen, denk ik dat ik deze ook ga aanpassen om dit te reflecteren. Handig lijkt mij wel om hier duidelijke afspraken over te maken, zodat we precies weten hoe we dit opschrijven. Onder het kopje met "Brónne" lijkt mij inderdaad zeer gepast en ook een elegante oplossing. Alcomilk (talk) 18:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Deze situatie zal zich wel niet heel vaak voordoen, dus misschien is een sjabloon met een toegevoegde categorie geen overbodige luxe. In het verleden zijn zo'n dingen wel vaker misgegaan, waardoor het een rommeltje is geworden. Een groot deel van deze testwiki bestaat namelijk uit een potpourri van datumartikels die weinig tot nul komma nul inhoud hebben. Gelukkig zitten we nu eindelijk op het goeie pad! Benopat (talk) 19:03, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Ich vinj 't allemaol good :) --OWTB (talk) 08:46, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Ik heb geprobeerd er iets van te maken. Kijk maar of jullie het goed vinden zo! Alcomilk (talk) 17:45, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Ik dacht dat het aanvankelijk jouw plan was om hier een sjabloon van te maken? Voor de consistentie zou dat natuurlijk beter zijn, want we schrijven immers niet allemaal in hetzelfde dialect, en het kan lastig zijn om zo'n soortgelijke artikelen - als in: artikelen van de eigen redactie - terug te vinden. Zou het dan niet beter zijn een sjabloon te maken?
Een nadelig punt van een sjabloon met vast stramien is wel weer dat je dan de artikels niet langer in één dialect kunt houden.
Zullen we het dan maar voorlopig gewoon zo houden? Een categorie eraan plakken en we zijn klaar, dacht ik zo. :-) Benopat (talk) 20:38, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Ich höb veur noe de categorie "Eige redactie" aangemaak, zoeadet geer in 't vervolg al eur eige werke in dees categorie kóntj plaatse. Benopat (talk) 15:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hoj. Ich mót toch waal 'ns get van 't bors aafdrökke. Ich vinj namelik de hujige categorisering 'ne puinhoup en stèl dan ouch veur hie get aanpassinge aan te doon. Mich geit 't mit name euver de óneuverzichtelikheid en óndudelikheid van de structuurcategorieë (daomit wil ich dus zègke: de categorieë wo alles van de Wikinuujs insteit, van hölppagina's toet aan sjablone, en van waerberichte toet aan archieve). Ich dink det hie namelik nog väöl ruumte viltj te behaole, womit veer de wiki get presentabeler kónne make en tegeliekertied ouch baeter te navigere make. Ich haop dan ouch det ich van uch de zaenge krieg óm hieaan te beginne. Es ich nog get wiejer in detail mót traeje euver waat ich precies van plan bön óm te doon, dan moog geer mich gerös get vraoge stèlle! Benopat (talk) 15:23, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Ich höb michzelf veurgestèldj get wiejer d'n deepgank d'rin te bringe. Väöl categorieë zitte noe te vol, mit te väöl pagina's, wodoor dees neet langer euverzichtelik zeen. Door extra categorieë aan te ligke en de categoriestructuur in zien totaliteit aan te pakke, haop ich det dit probleem wuuert opgelos, zodet alles gemekkeliker is te vinje, en per categorie minder subcategorieë en subpagina's zeen.

Fotoreportages bewirk

@ Ooswesthoesbes, Benopat, Alcomilk, Steinbach: ik wil jullie graag eens op de fotoreportages wijzen die een eigen categorie vormen op de Nederlandstalige Wikinieuws. Als jullie daar een van maken in het Limburgs, dan zal ik die graag naar het Nederlands vertalen. Dat doe ik nu ook al geregeld met fotoreportages in het Engels en Russisch.

Gisteren heb ik de carnavalsoptocht in Oldenzaal (Boeskoolstad) gefotografeerd en dit artikel over gemaakt: Eerste prijs voor de Blaanke Boeskeulkes tijdens de Grote Optocht van Twente. Hier staan er nog meer: Categorie:Originele fotoreportage.

Zoals jullie zien is daar niet veel tekst bij nodig. Zelfs bronvermelding is niet nodig: het mag zelfgeschreven tekst zijn. En... carnaval hebben jullie ook :-) Maar er zijn nog zoveel anderen dingen waarover ook een aantal foto's te maken zijn.

Hopelijk heb ik jullie met dit berichtje aangemoedigd om daar ook af en toe eentje van te maken! Ik zou er tenminste graag af en toe eentje van zien.

Bot policy bewirk

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), which form the vast majority of such requests. 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. Please read the text at m:Bot policy 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. Rschen7754 13 apr 2019 23:55 (CEST)Reageren

As the community is small, I agree with the implementation. --Ooswesthoesbes (euverlègk) 14 apr 2019 16:28 (CEST)Reageren

Hello,

your project previously had a HD logo set (a logo that's used on displays supporting higher density, used to prefer logo to display blurred). The HD logo was set to https://people.wikimedia.org/~urbanecm/T227418/liwikinews-1.5x.png. However, your project currently uses a different logo. Because of this difference, I've temporarily removed HD logo from your wiki, and would like to ask you, which logo you would prefer.

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project bewirk

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

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.

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 jul 2020 21:52 (CEST)

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

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

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, Wikinuujs 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 Phase 2 bewirk

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

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 bewirk

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 bewirk

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 bewirk

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 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.

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

Hello everyone,

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

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

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

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

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

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Best regards,

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

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.

Desktopverbeteringen-update bewirk

Dit de nieuwe standaard maken

Haj. Ik wilde graag een update geven over het Desktopverbeteringen-project, waar het Wikimedia Foundation-webteam de afgelopen jaren aan heeft gewerkt. Ons werk is bijna klaar! 🎉

Wij zouden graag zien dat deze verbeteringen de standaard worden voor lezers en bewerkers op alle wiki's. In de komende weken zullen we gesprekken beginnen op meer wiki's, waaronder die van jou. 🗓️ We lezen graag uw suggesties!

Het doel van het project is om de interface uitnodigender en comfortabeler te maken voor lezers en nuttiger voor gevorderde gebruikers. Het project bestaat uit een reeks functieverbeteringen die het gemakkelijker maken om te lezen en te leren, binnen de pagina te navigeren, te zoeken, te wisselen van taal, artikeltabbladen en het gebruikersmenu te gebruiken, en meer. De verbeteringen zijn standaard al zichtbaar voor lezers en bewerkers op meer dan 30 wiki's, waaronder de Wikipedia's in het Frans, Portugees en Perzisch.

De wijzigingen zijn alleen van toepassing op de skin Vector. Monobook of Timeless worden niet beïnvloed.

De nieuwste functies
  • Inhoudsopgave - onze versie is gemakkelijker te bereiken, context van de pagina te verkrijgen, en door de pagina te navigeren zonder te hoeven scrollen. Het wordt momenteel getest op onze pilot-wiki's. Het is ook beschikbaar voor bewerkers die zich hebben aangemeld voor de Vector 2022-skin.
  • Paginahulpmiddelen - er zijn nu twee soorten links in de zijbalk. Er zijn acties en hulpmiddelen voor individuele pagina's (zoals Gerelateerde wijzigingen) en links van wiki-brede aard (zoals Recente wijzigingen). We gaan deze opsplitsen in twee intuïtieve menu's.
Hoe de verbeteringen te activeren
 
Globale voorkeuren
  • Het is mogelijk het op individuele wiki's te activeren op het tabblad Uiterlijk in de voorkeuren door "Vector (2022)" te selecteren. Het is ook mogelijk het op alle wiki's tegelijk te activeren met behulp van de Globale voorkeuren.
  • Op wiki's waar de wijzigingen standaard voor iedereen zichtbaar zijn, kunnen ingelogde gebruikers altijd teruggaan naar de oude Vector. Er is een gemakkelijk toegankelijke link in de zijbalk van de nieuwe Vector.
Leer meer en doe mee aan onze activiteiten

Als u de voortgang van ons project wilt volgen, kunt u zich abonneren op onze nieuwsbrief. U kunt de pagina's van het project lezen, onze FAQ bekijken, reageren op de project-overlegpagina, en deelnemen aan een online vergadering met ons.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass bewirk

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? bewirk

 
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 bewirk

[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? bewirk

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 bewirk

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 sep 2022 06:14 (CEST)Reageren

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

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 bewirk

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

Wikinews Interlingual Association idea Contact bewirk

Hello. I am a senior user from Chinese Wikinews. I want to strengthen the links between the Wikinews language communities and develop an excellent citizen news platform. Does it include the possibility of setting up a Telegram group to communicate with each other? Original reports or news about different languages, and news reports of news value are published in the group, so that everyone can know and translate each other. I also hope to strengthen contacts with projects in various Wikinews languages for a long time, and even establish a Wikinews Association to help our journalists facilitate the development of our projects, which may include applying for funding from the foundation, writing reports better, including original reporting projects, for public welfare, and better. Let our news agency reporters go to other places to interview, including bonuses, travel expenses, transportation expenses, and meals? In fact, I hope that if these reporting expenses can receive a foundation subsidy, in fact, journalists may focus more on original reporting, and they should do so! I thought it might be better to open a Wikinews Association across languages. I use Chinese as my mother tongue, so there may be some mistakes in English. If you don't understand, you are welcome to communicate, especially in simple English. Thank you very much!

Original reporting is in fact what media organizations should do more, because now many journalists' associations and experts criticize everyone for doing real-time news, and I do real-time news, which results in the lack of room for public attention or news stories that should be reported in depth, so this mentality is unfavorable to the media environment and the public.

Establishing an association to help Wikinews can provide more room for the platform to be upgraded and make it more convenient for our journalists to move. The establishment of associations can further unite the community, hold activities, vigorously develop Wikinews projects, and even launch a series of reports, so that we can no longer have a single report, enhance the credibility of our media from the public, and be more popular.

Wikinews is a very suitable project for cross-language associations, because we are all doing the same thing and reporting around the world. It is one of the purposes of public broadcasting organizations to focus on diversified reports and public interest reports. --Kitabc12345 (euverlègk) 18 jan 2023 14:17 (CET)Reageren

  • 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.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee bewirk

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.

Best,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks? bewirk

Read this in your languageHelp mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok • 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.

 
Globale voorkeuren

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 bewirk

 
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 bewirk

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) (Euverlèk) 19 okt 2023 01:52 (CEST)Reageren

Update of license bewirk

Some time ago there was a discussion on meta about how to implement the license update to CC BY-SA 4.0 on all wikis. See m:Meta:Babel/Archives/2023-06#Aftermath_of_ToU_updates.

Wikinews use the license CC BY 2.5. So it does not have the SA part and it is an older version.

I would like to ask why Wikinews does not follow WMF and most other wiki projects. Is there a good reason or is it simply because noone thought about updating the license?

Unless there is a good reason I suggest to update the license to follow WMF.

There is a formal vote on English WN to change to the new license at en:Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Update_of_license.

I hope you would use that opportunity to update license here too. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 15 dec 2023 14:37 (CET)Reageren

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection bewirk

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.
