<p>தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா தமிழ் மொழியின், தமிழ்ச் பேசும் சமூகங்களின் அறிவுத் தளங்களை பதிவு செய்வதில் ஒரு முன்னோடிக் களமாக திகழ்ந்து வந்துள்ளது, வருகின்றது. தமிழ் பேசும் சமூகங்கள் தொடர்பான பல்வேறு தகவல்களை நாம் தொகுத்து வருகிறோம். ஆனால் சில முக்கியமான அறிவுத் தொகுதிகளைப் பதிவு செய்வதில் தடைகள் உள்ளன. போதிய உசாத்துணை வளங்கள் இல்லாமை, முன் எடுத்துக்காட்டுக்கள் இல்லாமை, இணைய இணைப்பு இல்லாமை, ஈடுபாடு கொண்ட பயனர்கள் இல்லாமை என்று பல்வேறு காரணங்கள் தடைகளாக உள்ளன. இவ்வாறு போதிய கவனிப்புப் பெறாத துறைகளில் ஒன்றாக மரபுசார் தொழிற்கலைகளும், அவைகளைப் பற்றிய அறிவுத் தளங்களும் உள்ளன. இதை நிவர்த்தி செய்யும் வகையில் விக்கியூடக நிறுவனத்தில் ஒரு <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project">முன்மொழிவினை</a> முன்வைத்துள்ளோம். இந்த முன்மொழிவு தமிழ் விக்கி தன்னார்வலர்களாலும், நூலக நிறுவன பங்களிப்பாளர்களாலும், இதர அமைப்புகளின் ஆதரவோடும் முன்னெடுக்கும் வண்ணம் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றனது. அந்த முன்மொழிவு ஒரு வரைவு மட்டுமே. அந்த முன்மொழிவினை மேம்படுத்த, அந்தச் செயற்திட்டத்தில் பங்ககெடுக்க உங்களை வரவேற்கிறோம். </p><p>தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா/ஊடகங்களில் பயிற்சிப் பட்டறை, நிகழ்வுகளில் அறிமுகப்படுத்தல், கட்டுரைப் போட்டி, ஊடகப் போட்டி, தொகுத்தல் போட்டி, நிகழ்வுகள், சந்திப்புக்கள் போன்ற முன்னெடுப்புக்கள் முன்னெடுக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றன. இவை அறிமுகப்படுத்தல், உள்ளடக்க விரிவாக்கம், புதிய பயனர்களைச் சேர்த்தல், இணையத்துக்கு அப்பாலான தொடர்பாடல் (Outreach), விக்கிச் சமூகக் கட்டமைப்பைப் பலப்படுத்தல் ஆகியவற்றை முதன்மை நோக்கங்களாகக் கொண்டு செயற்படுத்தப்படுகின்றன. நூலக நிறுவனத்துடன் 2006 இலேயே சில கூட்டுச் செயற்பாடுகள் முன்னெடுக்கப்பட்டாலும், நாட்டுடைமையாக்கப்பட்ட படைப்புக்களை விக்கிமூலத்துக்கும், விக்கிசனரிக்கும் கொண்டுவரும் செயற்திட்டமே தமிழ் விக்கியூடகத்தின் முதலாவது முறையான கூட்டுச் செயற்பாடு (partnership) எனலாம். </p><p>இந்தச் செயற்திட்டம் மேற்கண்ட பரிணாமங்களின் புதிய முனையாக, முன்னெடுப்பாக முன்வைக்கப்படுகின்றது. </p> <ul><li>முதலாவதாக இது வெளிக்களத்தில் தொடர்சியான களச் செயற்பாடுகளைக் (sustained on the ground outreach activities) கொண்டு இருக்கும். குறிப்பாக தமிழ் விக்கியர்கள் அரிதாக உள்ள மலையகம், கிழக்கிலங்கை, வன்னி, மன்னார் போன்ற இடங்களைக் குறிவைத்து.</li> <li>இரண்டாவதாக தமிழ்ச் சூழலில் GLAM (<a class="external

href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage</a>) முன்னெடுப்பது சிக்கல்களும், தடைகளும் மிகுந்தது. எம்மிடம் பலமான நூலக, ஆவணக, அருங்காட்சியகக் கட்டமைப்புக்கள் இல்லாமை இதற்கு ஒரு முக்கிய தடை ஆகும். ஆனால் அந்தக் களங்களை விக்கிக்கும், இணையத்துக்கும் கொண்டுவரும் தேவை மிகையாகவே இருக்கின்றது. அந்தக் களங்களை தமிழ் விக்கியூடகங்களுக்கு கொண்டுவரும் செயற்திட்டமாக இது அமையும்.</li> <li>மூன்றாவதாக இது இலங்கையில் ஒரு நிறுவனத்துடனான, குறிப்பாக வேரடி அமைப்புக்களின் ஒன்றான நூலக நிறுவனத்துடனான ஒரு கூட்டுச் செயற்திடமாக அமையும்.</li></ul> <p>உங்கள் கருத்துக்களையும், ஆதரவையும், பங்களிப்பையும் இந்தச் செயற்திட்டத்துக்கு <i><big>'<a class="external text" href="https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/5wx5">இலங்கையின்

(These are pages like <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:Common.css</code> and <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:Vector.js</code> which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.) A new user group, <code dir="ltr"><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Interface_administrators" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Interface administrators">interface-admin</a></code>, has been created. Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with <code dir="ltr">.css</code> or <code dir="ltr">.js</code> that is either in the <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:</code> namespace or is another user's user subpage). </p><p>You can learn more about the motivation behind the change <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Creation_of_separate_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS/JS" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS">here</a>. </p><p>Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment). </p><p>Thanks! <br/><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tgr" class="extiw" title="m:User:Tgr">Tgr</a> (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tgr" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Tgr">talk</a>) <a href="https://ta.wikinews.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D#c-Tgr-2018-07-30T17:45:00.000Z-New_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS_/_JS" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:45, 30 சூலை 2018 (UTC)</a> <small>(via <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Global_message_delivery" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Global message delivery">global message delivery</a>)</small></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tgr-2018-07-30T17:45:00.000Z-New_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS_/_JS"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">பதிலளி</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tgr-2018-07-30T17:45:00.000Z-New_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS_/_JS"></span> </p> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Editing_of_sitewide_CSS/JS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_now" data-mw-thread-id="h-Editing_of_sitewide_CSS/JS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_no-2018-08-27T12:40:00.000Z"><span id="Editing_of_sitewide_CSS.2FJS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_now"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Editing_of_sitewide_CSS/JS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_no-2018-08-27T12:40:00.000Z"></span>Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Editing_of_sitewide_CSS/JS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_no-2018-08-27T12:40:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=26" title="Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><i><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tgr-2018-08-27T12:40:00.000Z-Editing_of_sitewide_CSS/JS_is_only_possible_for_interface_administrators_from_no"></span>(Please help translate to your language)</i> </p> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <p>Hi all, </p><p>as <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Creation_of_separate_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS/JS/announcement_2" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS/announcement 2">announced previously</a>, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the <code><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Interface_administrators" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Interface administrators">interface-admin</a></code> (இடைமுக நிர்வாகிகள்) 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).

We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct. </p><p>What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5962027" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q5962027">Template:Unreferenced</a> or <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5619503" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q5619503">Template:More citations needed</a>. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information. </p><p>For template editors we have <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_mobile_friendly_articles_on_Wikimedia_wikis#Making_page_issues_(ambox_templates)_mobile_friendly" class="extiw" title="mw:Recommendations for mobile friendly articles on Wikimedia wikis">some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly</a> and also further <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues" class="extiw" title="mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues">documentation on our work so far</a>. </p><p>If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues">please leave a note on the project talk page</a> or <a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Readers-Web-Backlog">file a task in Phabricator</a> and we will help you. </p><p>நன்றி! </p> </div> <p><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CKoerner_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User:CKoerner (WMF)">CKoerner (WMF)</a> (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:CKoerner_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:CKoerner (WMF)">talk</a>) <a href="https://ta.wikinews.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D#c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2018-11-13T19:35:00.000Z-Change_coming_to_how_certain_templates_will_appear_on_the_mobile_web" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:35, 13 நவம்பர் 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2018-11-13T19:35:00.000Z-Change_coming_to_how_certain_templates_will_appear_on_the_mobile_web"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">பதிலளி</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2018-11-13T19:35:00.000Z-Change_coming_to_how_certain_templates_will_appear_on_the_mobile_web"></span> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote" data-mw-thread-id="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"></span>Community Wishlist Survey vote<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=32" title="Community Wishlist Survey vote பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks"> <p>The Community Wishlist Survey.

This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.</li> <li>Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions: <ol><li>When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?</li> <li>What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?</li> <li>What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?</li> <li>What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?</li> <li>What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?</li></ol></li> <li>Finally, please go to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_consultation_2019" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019">Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org</a> and report what you learned from your group.

A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Activity_levels_of_advanced_administrative_rights_holders" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders">global community consensus</a> in 2013. According to this policy, the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/stewards" class="extiw" title="m:stewards">stewards</a> are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Admin_activity_review" class="extiw" title="m:Admin activity review">admin activity review</a>. </p><p>We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years): </p> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B1%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%81:Contributions/Kanags" title="சிறப்பு:Contributions/Kanags">Kanags</a> (administrator)</li></ol> <p>These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards. </p><p>However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards%27_noticeboard" class="extiw" title="m:Stewards' noticeboard">stewards on Meta-Wiki</a> so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

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. </p><p>We would like individual feedback on the following: </p> <ul><li>Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered</li> <li>Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience.

Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do.

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. </p><p>This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 <sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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 <sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. 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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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 <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. 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. </p><p>Yours, </p><p>Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation) </p> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-1">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Abstract_Wikipedia" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia">Abstract Wikipedia</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-2">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Denny" class="extiw" title="m:User:Denny">User:Denny</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-3"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-3">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/abstract-wikipedia.lists.wikimedia.org/" class="extiw" title="mail:abstract-wikipedia">Abstract Wikipedia mailing list</a></span> </li> </ol> </div> <p><small>Sent by <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Elitre_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User:Elitre (WMF)">m:User:Elitre (WMF)</a> <a href="https://ta.wikinews.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D#c-Elitre_(WMF)-2020-07-09T19:56:00.000Z-Announcing_a_new_wiki_project!_Welcome,_Abstract_Wikipedia" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:56, 9 சூலை 2020 (UTC)</a> - <b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Abstract_Wikipedia/July_2020_announcement" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/July 2020 announcement">m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/July 2020 announcement</a></b> </small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Elitre_(WMF)-2020-07-09T19:56:00.000Z-Announcing_a_new_wiki_project!_Welcome,_Abstract_Wikipedia"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">பதிலளி</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Elitre_(WMF)-2020-07-09T19:56:00.000Z-Announcing_a_new_wiki_project!_Welcome,_Abstract_Wikipedia"></span> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_Wikis" data-mw-thread-id="h-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z"></span>Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=67" title="Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Max_Klemm_(WMDE)-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W"></span>The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Move_files_to_Commons" class="extiw" title="m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons">FileExporter and FileImporter</a> will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work? </p><p>Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page. </p><p>Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Move_files_to_Commons/Configuration_file_documentation" class="extiw" title="m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons/Configuration file documentation">configuration file</a> which is created and maintained by each local wiki community. </p><p>Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons. </p> If you want to know more about the <a

As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries. </p><p>The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki. </p><p><a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264991#6609917">This affects 149 wikis</a> (including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias).

Below you will find the problem statement and various ideas from the Board to address it. We are offering multiple channels for questions and feedback. With the help of a team of community facilitators, we are organizing multiple conversations with multiple groups in multiple languages. </p><p>During this call for feedback we publish weekly reports and we draft the final report that will be delivered to the Board. With the help of this report, the Board will approve the next steps to organize the selection of six community seats in the upcoming months. Three of these seats are due for renewal and three are new, recently approved. </p><p><b>Participate in this call for feedback and help us form a more diverse and better performing Board of Trustees!</b> </p><p><u><b>Problems:</b></u> While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. This problem was identified in the Board’s 2019 governance review, along with recommendations for how to address it. </p><p>To solve the problem of capacity, we have agreed to increase the Board size to a maximum of 16 trustees (it was 10). Regarding performance and diversity, we have approved criteria to evaluate new Board candidates. What is missing is a process to promote community candidates that represent the diversity of our movement and have the skills and experience to perform well on the Board of a complex global organization. </p><p>Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. Meanwhile, our movement has grown larger and more complex, our technical and strategic needs have increased, and we have new and more difficult policy challenges around the globe. As well, our Movement Strategy recommendations urge us to increase our diversity and promote perspectives from other regions and other social backgrounds. </p><p>In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. What process can we all design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees? </p><p><u><b>Ideas:</b></u> The Board has discussed several ideas to overcome the problems mentioned above. Some of these ideas could be taken and combined, and some discarded. Other ideas coming from the call for feedback could be considered as well. The ideas are: </p> <ul><li><u>Ranked voting system.</u> Complete the move to a single transferable vote system, already used to appoint affiliate-selected seats, which is designed to best capture voters’ preferences.</li> <li><u>Quotas.</u> Explore the possibility of introducing quotas to ensure certain types of diversity in the Board (details about these quotas to be discussed in this call for feedback).</li> <li><u>Call for types of skills and experiences.</u> When the Board makes a new call for candidates, they would specify types of skills and experiences especially sought.</li> <li><u>Vetting of candidates.</u> Potential candidates would be assessed using the Trustee Evaluation Form and would be confirmed or not as eligible candidates.</li> <li><u>Board-delegated selection committee.</u> The community would nominate candidates that this committee would assess and rank using the Trustee Evaluation Form. This committee would have community elected members and Board appointed members.</li> <li><u>Community-elected selection committee.</u> The community would directly elect the committee members. The committee would assess and rank candidates using the Trustee Evaluation Form.</li> <li><u>Election of confirmed candidates.</u> The community would vote for community nominated candidates that have been assessed and ranked using the Trustee Evaluation Form. The Board would appoint the most voted candidates.</li> <li><u>Direct appointment of confirmed candidates.</u> After the selection committee produces a ranked list of community nominated candidates, the Board would appoint the top-ranked candidates directly.</li></ul> <p><u><b>Call for feedback:</b></u> The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats">call for feedback</a> runs from February 1 until the end of March 14. We are looking for a broad representation of opinions. We are interested in the reasoning and the feelings behind your opinions. In a conversation like this one, details are important. We want to support good conversations where everyone can share and learn from others. We want to hear from those who understand Wikimedia governance well and are already active in movement conversations. We also want to hear from people who do not usually contribute to discussions. Especially those who are active in their own roles, topics, languages or regions, but usually not in, say, a call for feedback on Meta. </p><p>You can participate by joining the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats#How_to_participate" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats">Telegram chat group</a>, and giving feedback on any of the talk pages on Meta-Wiki. We are welcoming the organisation of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me. I will also reach out to communities and affiliates to soon have focused group discussions. </p><p>An <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/2021-02-02_-_First_Office_Hour" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Conversations/2021-02-02 - First Office Hour"><b>office hour</b></a> is also happening <b>tomorrow at 12 pm (UTC)</b> to discuss this topic.

While previously there were three community seats on the Board, with the expansion of the Board to sixteen seats last year, community seats have been increased to eight, four of which are up for election this year. </p><p>In the last fifteen years of the Board's history, there were only a few candidates from the South Asian region who participated in the elections, and hardly anyone from the community had a chance to serve on the Board. While there are several reasons for this, this time, the Board and WMF are very keen on encouraging and providing support to potential candidates from historically underrepresented regions. This is a good chance to change the historical problem of representation from the South Asian region in high-level governance structures. </p><p>Ten days after the call for candidates began, there aren't any <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Candidate_Table" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2021/Candidates">candidates from South Asia</a> yet, there are still 10 days left! I would like to ask community members to encourage other community members, whom you think would be potential candidates for the Board. While the final decision is completely up to the person, it can be helpful to make sure that they are aware of the election and the call for candidates. </p><p>Let me know if you need any information or support. </p><p>Thank you, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:KCVelaga_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User:KCVelaga (WMF)">KCVelaga (WMF)</a> <a href="https://ta.wikinews.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D#c-KCVelaga_(WMF)-2021-06-19T10:03:00.000Z-Candidates_from_South_Asia_for_2021_Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Elections" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:03, 19 சூன் 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-KCVelaga_(WMF)-2021-06-19T10:03:00.000Z-Candidates_from_South_Asia_for_2021_Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Elections"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">பதிலளி</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-KCVelaga_(WMF)-2021-06-19T10:03:00.000Z-Candidates_from_South_Asia_for_2021_Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Elections"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Editing_news_2021_#2" data-mw-thread-id="h-Editing_news_2021_#2"><span id="Editing_news_2021_.232"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Editing_news_2021_#2"></span>Editing news 2021 #2<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Editing_news_2021_#2"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=99" title="Editing news 2021 #2 பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="ta" dir="ltr"> <p><em><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Newsletter/2021/June" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Newsletter/2021/June">இதை மற்றொரு மொழியில் படிக்கவும்</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Newsletter" class="extiw" title="m:VisualEditor/Newsletter">இந்தப் பன்மொழிச் செய்திமடலுக்கானச் சந்தா பட்டியல்</a></em> </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D:Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Junior contributors comment completion rate across all participating Wikipedias" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png/296px-Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png" decoding="async" width="296" height="247" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png/444px-Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png/592px-Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png 2x" data-file-width="3600" data-file-height="3000"/></a><figcaption><span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment.

For example, we ran the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021">Wishlist for 2021</a> 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. </p><p>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 <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2020">Wishlist for 2020</a>. </p><p>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. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Encouraging_wider_participation_from_historically_excluded_communities" data-mw-thread-id="h-Encouraging_wider_participation_from_historically_excluded_communities-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Encouraging_wider_participation_from_historically_excluded_communities-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"></span>Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Encouraging_wider_participation_from_historically_excluded_communities-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=108" title="Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in.

The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support: </p> <ul><li>Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight</li> <li>Victoria Doronina</li> <li>Dariusz Jemielniak</li> <li>Lorenzo Losa</li></ul> <p>While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws.

Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020. </p><p>The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_draft_guidelines_review" class="extiw" title="m:Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement draft guidelines review">current round of conversations</a> is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas. </p><p>The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows: </p> <ul><li>Date: 16 September</li> <li>Time: Bangladesh: 5:30 pm to 7 pm, India & Sri Lanka: 5 pm to 6:30 pm, Nepal: 5:15 pm to 5:45 pm</li>

This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions. </p><p>There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback: </p> <ol><li>What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates? <i>The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.</i></li> <li>What are the expectations for the candidates during the election? <i>Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?</i></li></ol> <p>There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible.

This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election. </p><p>There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more? </p><p>Election volunteers will help in the following areas: </p> <ul><li>Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels</li> <li>Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions</li></ul> <p>Volunteers should: </p> <ul><li>Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events</li> <li>Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner</li></ul> <p>Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote?

We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023. </p><p>The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement. </p><p>We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully. </p><p>Here is a survey <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfof80NVrf3b9x3AotDBkICe-RfL3O3EyTM_L5JaYM-0GkG1A/viewform">form</a> to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference.

the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. <a class="external text" href="https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/">The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.</a> </p><p><b>[Objective]</b> 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 <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey" class="extiw" title="metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey">Community Wishlist Surveys</a>, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/290/how_and_why_we_moved_our_skins_to_mustache/" class="extiw" title="phab:phame/post/view/290/how and why we moved our skins to mustache/">We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%</a>. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs. </p><p><b>[Changes and test results]</b> The skin introduces a <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features">series of changes</a> that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin. </p> <ul><li>The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li></ul> <p><b>[Try it out]</b> Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in <a href="/wiki/%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B1%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%81:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering" title="சிறப்பு:Preferences">your preferences</a> and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"><span id="How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"></span>How can editors change and customize this skin?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=146" title="How can editors change and customize this skin? பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It's possible to configure and personalize our changes.

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! </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. --<a href="/wiki/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%A9%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D:Kitabc12345" title="பயனர்:Kitabc12345">Kitabc12345</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%A9%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%87%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%81:Kitabc12345&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="பயனர் பேச்சு:Kitabc12345 (கட்டுரை எழுதப்படவில்லை)">பேச்சு</a>) <a href="https://ta.wikinews.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D#c-Kitabc12345-20230118131500-Wikinews_Interlingual_Association_idea_Contact" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:15, 18 சனவரி 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kitabc12345-20230118131500-Wikinews_Interlingual_Association_idea_Contact"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">பதிலளி</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kitabc12345-20230118131500-Wikinews_Interlingual_Association_idea_Contact"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Community_feedback-cycle_about_updating_the_Wikimedia_Terms_of_Use_starts" data-mw-thread-id="h-Community_feedback-cycle_about_updating_the_Wikimedia_Terms_of_Use_starts"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Community_feedback-cycle_about_updating_the_Wikimedia_Terms_of_Use_starts"></span>Community feedback-cycle about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use starts<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Community_feedback-cycle_about_updating_the_Wikimedia_Terms_of_Use_starts"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF:%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF_%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D&action=edit&section=152" title="Community feedback-cycle about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use starts பகுதியைத் தொகு"><span>தொகு</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dd><i><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_department/2023_ToU_updates/Office_hours/Announcement" class="extiw" title="metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Legal department/2023 ToU updates/Office hours/Announcement">You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.</a></i></dd> <dd><i><div class="plainlinks"><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_department/2023_ToU_updates/Office_hours/Announcement" class="extiw" title="metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Legal department/2023 ToU updates/Office hours/Announcement">மேலதிக மொழிகள்</a> • <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Wikimedia+Foundation+Legal+department%2F2023+ToU+updates%2FOffice+hours%2FAnnouncement&language=&action=page&filter=">Please help translate to your language</a></div></i></dd></dl> <p>Hello community members, </p><p><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_department" class="extiw" title="metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Legal department">Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department</a> is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use. </p><p><a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Terms_of_Use" class="extiw" title="foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Terms of Use">The Terms of Use (ToU)</a> are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. <a href="https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/" class="extiw" title="wmfblog:2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/">The old Vector does not meet their needs</a>. </p><p><b>[Objective]</b> 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 <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey" class="extiw" title="metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey">Community Wishlist Surveys</a>, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/290/how_and_why_we_moved_our_skins_to_mustache/" class="extiw" title="phab:phame/post/view/290/how and why we moved our skins to mustache/">The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%</a>. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D:Screenshot_of_the_Vector-2022_skin%27s_fullscreen_toggle.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Screenshot_of_the_Vector-2022_skin%27s_fullscreen_toggle.png" decoding="async" width="38" height="38" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="38" data-file-height="38"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p><b>[Changes in a nutshell]</b> The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin. </p> <ul><li>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.</li> <li>The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li></ul> <p><b>[Customize this skin]</b> It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts.

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]. </p><p>Here are the key planned dates: </p> <ul><li>May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions</li> <li>June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]</li> <li>June-August 2024: Campaign period</li> <li>End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period</li> <li>October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates</li> <li>Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated</li></ul> <p>Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024">this Meta-wiki page</a>, and make your plan. </p><p><b>Election Volunteers</b> </p><p>Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer.

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
