It is called <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata" class="extiw" title="m:Wikidata">m:Wikidata</a>. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them. </p><p>The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are: </p> <ol><li>language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)</li> <li>infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)</li> <li>lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)</li></ol> <p>It'd be great if you could join us, test the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de">demo version</a>, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/FAQ" class="extiw" title="m:Wikidata/FAQ">FAQ</a> and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata" class="extiw" title="m:Wikidata">the Wikidata page on Meta</a>. </p><p>For further discussions please use <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata" class="extiw" title="m:Talk:Wikidata">this talk page</a> (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)">me</a> to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there. </p><p>--<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)" class="extiw" title="m:User:Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)">Lydia Pintscher</a> <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)-2012-09-10T13:40:00.000Z-Wikidata_is_getting_close_to_a_first_roll-out" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:40, 10 Septemba 2012 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)-2012-09-10T13:40:00.000Z-Wikidata_is_getting_close_to_a_first_roll-out"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)-2012-09-10T13:40:00.000Z-Wikidata_is_getting_close_to_a_first_roll-out"></span> </p><p><small>Distributed via <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery" class="extiw" title="m:Global message delivery">Global message delivery</a>.

We also encourage you to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Feedback">leave feedback on Mediawiki</a> where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to <a class="external text" href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=VisualEditor">Bugzilla</a>. If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process. </p><p>If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3AMessageGroupStats&x=D&group=ext-visualeditor#sortable:3=desc">Translatewiki</a> has open tasks for translating VisualEditor.

Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message! </p><p>VisualEditor is coming to this project on December 2, 2013. VisualEditor is software in development to allow people to edit pages in MediaWiki without needing to learn wikitext syntax (like typing [[ to start a link). It is already available and in use on some Wikipedia projects. Please see <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/FAQ" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ">mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ</a> for more information. </p><p>When this software arrives, you will have the option to use it or to use the current wikitext editor. When you press “edit”, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press “edit source”. For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide">mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide</a>. </p><p>We hope that this software will be useful to people in your community, and we can really use your help to make it better! Please let us know if you find any problems. If you're willing and able, please <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/How_to_report_a_bug" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/How to report a bug">report the issue in bugzilla</a> in the <a class="external text" href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=VisualEditor&format=guided">"VisualEditor" product</a>. If you would prefer not, please explain the issue you found on the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Feedback">central feedback page</a> on mediawiki.org. Once VisualEditor is made available, if there are any urgent problems, like an unexpected bug suddenly causing widespread severe problems, please e-mail James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org for immediate attention. </p><p>We would also appreciate help with translation with the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. To translate the user interface, start by creating an account at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Special%3AFirstSteps&type=on">TranslateWiki</a>. Once your account request is approved, all you need to do is select your language from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3AMessageGroupStats&x=D&group=ext-visualeditor#sortable:3=desc">this list</a>. This will give you a list of individual lines and paragraphs. The English original will be on one side, with the option to “edit” on the other. Pressing “edit” will open an edit window where you can work. </p><p>The User Guide is another important document. To translate this, simply go to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide">the MediaWiki.org page</a>, and select “translate this page”. Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right.

A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently 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> (your community received a notice about the discussion). 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 smaller wikis. 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 new <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Admin_activity_review" class="extiw" title="m:Admin activity review">admin activity review</a> here. </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>Caffelice (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.

Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them. </p> <ul><li><b>Hidden HTML comments</b> (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.</li> <li>You can now <b>drag and drop text</b> and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.</li> <li><b>All references and footnotes (</b><code><ref></code><b> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu</b>, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insert" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insert" menu.</li> <li>When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an <b>image caption</b> immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.</li> <li>All tablet users visiting the <b>mobile web</b> version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.</li> <li>The <b>link tool</b> has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.</li> <li>The <b>"Cancel" button</b> in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_2" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_global_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_global_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_global_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"></span></h3></div> <div class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <p>The team posts details about planned work on the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Roadmap" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap">VisualEditor roadmap</a>.

In 2013, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Mylanguage/Global_AbuseFilter" class="extiw" title="m:Special:Mylanguage/Global AbuseFilter">Global AbuseFilters</a> were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "<a class="external text" href="https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=small.dblist">small wikis</a>". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "<a class="external text" href="https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=medium.dblist">medium sized wikis</a>" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Global_AbuseFilter" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Global AbuseFilter">request for comment</a> on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_AbuseFilter/Opt-out_wikis" class="extiw" title="m:Global AbuseFilter/Opt-out wikis">this list</a> on Meta-Wiki.

Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be added later. </p><p>To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus are now hidden behind <b>a "More" item</b>, such as "Underline" in the styling menu. </p><p>The French Wikipedia should see <b>better search results</b> for links, templates, and media because the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:CirrusSearch">new search engine</a> was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias this week, and the following week at the English Wikipedia. </p><p>The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for <b>non-Latin languages</b>, with full support hopefully coming soon. </p><p>VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use <b>Internet Explorer</b> 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet. </p><p>The <b>keyboard shortcuts</b> for items in the toolbar menus are now shown in the menus. </p><p>VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a <b>new theme</b> from the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design" class="extiw" title="mw:Design">User Experience/Design group</a>. The appearance of dialog boxes has already changed in the mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon.

Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search engine could not find the page. A link inside a template to a local page that does not exist will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to an error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://example.com">[16]</a> with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="TemplateData" data-mw-thread-id="h-TemplateData-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-TemplateData-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"></span>TemplateData<span data-mw-comment-end="h-TemplateData-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"></span></h3></div> <p><b>The tool for quickly editing <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:TemplateData">TemplateData</a> has been deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November.</b> This tool was already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:TemplateData" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:TemplateData">the help page for TemplateData</a> to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Sandbox/doc" class="extiw" title="mw:Template:Sandbox/doc">in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org</a>. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage <i><b>or</b></i> on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template. </p><p>You can use the <b>new autovalue setting</b> to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=632356794&oldid=632356402">this example</a>, or to add the most common value for that parameter. The autovalue can be overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field. </p><p>In TemplateData, you may <b>define a parameter as "required"</b>. The template dialog box in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_4" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_4-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_4-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_4-VisualEditor_News_#9—2014"></span></h3></div> <p>The VisualEditor team <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cite-from-id" class="extiw" title="mw:Cite-from-id">plans to add <b>auto-fill features</b></a> <b>for citations</b> soon.

In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">rowspan</code> and <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">colspan</code> elements, instead of trying to repair them. </p><p>You can now use <b>find and replace</b> in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">^ Ctrl</code></kbd>+<kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">F</code></kbd> or <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">⌘ Cmd</code></kbd>+<kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">F</code></kbd>. </p><p>You can now create and edit simple <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><blockquote></code> paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Paragraph" into a "Block quote". </p><p>Some <b>new keyboard sequences</b> can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">* </code>" will make the line a bullet list; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">1.</code>" or "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">#</code>" will make it a numbered list; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">==</code>" will make it a section heading; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">: </code>" will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. </p><p>There are also two other keyboard sequences: "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">[[</code>" for opening the link tool, and "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">{{</code>" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">^ Ctrl</code></kbd>+<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">K</code> to open the link editor, still work. </p><p>If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red. </p><p>You can again create and edit <b>galleries</b> as wikitext code. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_5" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_News_#10—2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_News_#10—2014"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_News_#10—2014"></span></h3></div> <p>The current VisualEditor design will be replaced with a <b>new theme</b> designed by the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design" class="extiw" title="mw:Design">User Experience group</a>.

Several new versions of the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI" class="extiw" title="mw:OOjs UI">OOjs UI</a> library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action: </p> <ul><li>starts a new task, like opening the ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽ dialog: <span style="background-color: #015ccc; color:white"> blue </span>,</li> <li>takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: <span style="background-color: #008c6d; color:white"> green </span>,</li> <li>might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: <span style="background-color: #a7170f; color:white"> red </span>, or</li> <li>is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: <span style="color: 757575"> gray </span>.</li></ul> <p>The <b>TemplateData editor</b> has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor.

After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections. </p><p>We will need editors to help test the <b>new design of the special character inserter</b>, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively.

Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31. </p><p>All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge! </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire" class="extiw" title="m:Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire">Inspire Campaign main page</a></li></ul></dd></dl> <p><i>(Sorry for the English - please translate this message!)</i> <a href="/wiki/Yusa:MediaWiki_message_delivery" title="Yusa:MediaWiki message delivery">MediaWiki message delivery</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Toktok_bilong_yusa:MediaWiki_message_delivery&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Toktok bilong yusa:MediaWiki message delivery (pes i nogat stap)">talk</a>) <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2015-03-04T20:02:00.000Z-Inspire_Campaign:_Improving_diversity,_improving_content" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:02, 4 Mas 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2015-03-04T20:02:00.000Z-Inspire_Campaign:_Improving_diversity,_improving_content"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2015-03-04T20:02:00.000Z-Inspire_Campaign:_Improving_diversity,_improving_content"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="SUL_finalization_update" data-mw-thread-id="h-SUL_finalization_update-2015-03-13T19:45:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-SUL_finalization_update-2015-03-13T19:45:00.000Z"></span>SUL finalization update<span data-mw-comment-end="h-SUL_finalization_update-2015-03-13T19:45:00.000Z"></span></h2><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="mw-content-ltr"> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Keegan_(WMF)-2015-03-13T19:45:00.000Z-SUL_finalization_update"></span>Hi all,apologies for writing in English, please read <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Single_User_Login_finalisation_announcement/Schema_announcement" class="extiw" title="m:Single User Login finalisation announcement/Schema announcement">this page</a> for important information and an update involving <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login" class="extiw" title="m:Help:Unified login">SUL finalization</a>, scheduled to take place in one month.

Status reports are posted <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/changelog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/changelog">on Mediawiki.org</a>. The worklist for April through June is available <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/sprint/board/1113/" class="extiw" title="phab:project/sprint/board/1113/">in Phabricator</a>. </p><p>The weekly <b>task triage meetings</b> continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150401T11&p1=224&am=30">11:00 (noon) PDT</a> (18:00 UTC).

In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RESTBase" class="extiw" title="mw:RESTBase">network speed</a> by almost 40%. </p><p>The Editing team is slowly adding <b>auto-fill features</b> <b>for citations</b>. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The <b><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid" class="extiw" title="mw:Citoid">Citoid service</a></b> takes a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL" class="extiw" title="en:URL">URL</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier" class="extiw" title="en:Digital object identifier">DOI</a> for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISBN" class="extiw" title="en:ISBN">ISBNs</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubMed#PubMed_identifier" class="extiw" title="en:PubMed">PMIDs</a>, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website. </p><p>Citoid requires good <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData">TemplateData</a> for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/citoid/" class="extiw" title="phab:tag/citoid/">Citoid project on Phabricator</a>. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki. </p><p>The <b>special character inserter</b> has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Rollouts" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts">Phase 5</a> list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including <b>Afrikaans</b>, <b>Azerbaijani</b>, <b>Breton</b>, <b>Kyrgyz</b>, <b>Macedonian</b>, <b>Mongolian</b>, <b>Tatar</b>, and<b> Welsh</b>. </p><p>Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/input_method_editor" class="extiw" title="w:input method editor">input method editors</a> ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users. </p><p>The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images#Mode_parameter" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images">"packed" mode in image galleries</a>. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images. </p><p>You can now <b>drag and drop categories</b> to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page. </p><p>The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item. </p><p><b>Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon</b> so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings. </p><p>Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (<a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90734">T90734</a>) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_7" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_7-VisualEditor_News_#2—2015"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_7-VisualEditor_News_#2—2015"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_7-VisualEditor_News_#2—2015"></span></h3></div> <p>The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Special_characters" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Special characters">at mediawiki.org</a>. </p><p>The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon.

This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance.

Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/changelog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/changelog">on mediawiki.org</a>. The worklist for April through June is available <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/sprint/board/1113/" class="extiw" title="phab:project/sprint/board/1113/">in Phabricator</a>. </p><p>A <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:VisualEditor%27s_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study" class="extiw" title="m:Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/May 2015 study">test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors</a> at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase.

The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:VisualEditor%27s_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study#Results" class="extiw" title="m:Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/May 2015 study">results will be posted at Meta</a> later this month. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recent_improvements_5" data-mw-thread-id="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span>Recent improvements<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span></h3></div> <p><b>Auto-fill features</b> <b>for citations</b> are available at a few Wikipedias through the <b><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid" class="extiw" title="mw:Citoid">citoid service</a></b>. Citoid takes a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL" class="extiw" title="en:URL">URL</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier" class="extiw" title="en:Digital object identifier">DOI</a> for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button. </p><p>The <b>link tool</b> has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98085" class="extiw" title="phab:T98085">T98085</a>) </p><p>The <b>special character inserter</b> in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Special_characters" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Special characters">at mediawiki.org</a>. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70425" class="extiw" title="phab:T70425">T70425</a>) </p><p>Several improvements have been made to <b>templates</b>. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95696" class="extiw" title="phab:T95696">T95696</a>) The team added a <b>new property for TemplateData</b>, "Example", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53049" class="extiw" title="phab:T53049">T53049</a>) </p><p>The <b>design</b> of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled. </p><p>The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of <b>non-existent images</b>. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Let's_work_together_4" data-mw-thread-id="h-Let's_work_together_4-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"><span id="Let.27s_work_together_4"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Let's_work_together_4-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span>Let's work together<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Let's_work_together_4-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>Share your ideas and ask questions at <a class="external text" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor/Feedback&lqt_method=talkpage_new_thread">mw:VisualEditor/Feedback</a>.</li> <li>The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC).

So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12. </p><p>We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time.

If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not.

Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist. </p><p>While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English. </p><p>Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button.

Here are some ideas: </p> <ul><li><b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia_15/Events" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Events">Join/host an event</a></b>.

This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.) </p><p>Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Strategy/Community_consultation" class="extiw" title="m:2016 Strategy/Community consultation">2016 Strategy/Community consultation</a>. </p><p>Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project.

The change will be announced in <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News">Tech News</a> when it happens. </p><p>If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Publishpage">“<b><bdi>Publish page</bdi></b>”</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Publishchanges">“<b><bdi>Publish changes</bdi></b>”</a>. </p><p>The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Savearticle">“<bdi>Raitim pes</bdi>”</a> would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “<bdi>Raitim pes</bdi>” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem. </p><p>Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal" class="extiw" title="m:Legal">Legal team</a> at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change.

Please <a href="/wiki/Sipesol:Ol_laik_bilong_mi#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Sipesol:Ol laik bilong mi">go try it out</a>. </p><p><br/> We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor">the visual editor</a> based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it. </p><p>Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/citoid" class="extiw" title="mw:citoid">citoid service</a> for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext. </p><p>All wikis now have access to this mode as a <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features" class="extiw" title="mw:Beta Features">Beta Feature</a>. When enabled, it replaces your existing <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor" class="extiw" title="mw:Editor">wikitext editor</a> everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an <i>opt-in-only</i> Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatically enable most beta features". </p><p>The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:WikiEditor">current wikitext editor</a>). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and <i>vice versa</i>), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Gadgets" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Gadgets">work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work</a> with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do. </p><p>This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/2017_wikitext_editor/Feedback" class="extiw" title="mw:2017 wikitext editor/Feedback">on the feedback page</a>.

For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. </p><p>This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard. </p><p>The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction. </p><p>Regular updates are being sent to the <a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/Wikimedia-l.lists.wikimedia.org/" class="extiw" title="mail:Wikimedia-l">Wikimedia-l mailing list</a>, and posted <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Updates" class="extiw" title="m:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Updates">on Meta-Wiki</a>.

While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results. </p><p>We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Short_descriptions/Research" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikimedia Apps/Short descriptions/Research">results</a> including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism. </p><p>We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities. As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Apps/Short_descriptions" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:Wikimedia Apps/Short descriptions">the talk page for this project</a> or by email at reading@wikimedia.org.

Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017. </p><p>A quick note on the implementation: </p> <ul><li>For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from <a href="/wiki/Sipesol:Ol_laik_bilong_mi#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Sipesol:Ol laik bilong mi">their user preferences</a> page.</li> <li>For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.</li> <li>For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.</li></ul> <p>You can read more about <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features/Hovercards" class="extiw" title="mw:Beta Features/Hovercards">the feature</a> and <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features/Hovercards#Success_Metrics_and_Feature_Evaluation" class="extiw" title="mw:Beta Features/Hovercards">the tests we used to evaluate performance</a>, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Beta_Features/Hovercards" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:Beta Features/Hovercards">on the talk page</a>. </p><p>Thank you, <a href="/wiki/Yusa:MediaWiki_message_delivery" title="Yusa:MediaWiki message delivery">MediaWiki message delivery</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Toktok_bilong_yusa:MediaWiki_message_delivery&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Toktok bilong yusa:MediaWiki message delivery (pes i nogat stap)">talk</a>) <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2017-04-19T16:52:00.000Z-New_Page_previews_feature" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:52, 19 Epril 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2017-04-19T16:52:00.000Z-New_Page_previews_feature"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-2017-04-19T16:52:00.000Z-New_Page_previews_feature"></span> </p> </div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="New_Wikipedia_Library_Accounts_Available_Now_(May_2017)" data-mw-thread-id="h-New_Wikipedia_Library_Accounts_Available_Now_(May_2017)"><span id="New_Wikipedia_Library_Accounts_Available_Now_.28May_2017.29"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-New_Wikipedia_Library_Accounts_Available_Now_(May_2017)"></span>New Wikipedia Library Accounts Available Now (May 2017)<span data-mw-comment-end="h-New_Wikipedia_Library_Accounts_Available_Now_(May_2017)"></span></h2></div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <p>Hello Wikimedians! </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/Fail:Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg/170px-Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="260" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg/255px-Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg/340px-Wikipedia_Library_owl.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="72" data-file-height="110"/></a><figcaption>The TWL OWL says sign up today!</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library" class="extiw" title="m:The Wikipedia Library">The Wikipedia Library</a> is announcing signups today for free, full-access, accounts to published research as part of our <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/Journals" class="extiw" title="m:The Wikipedia Library/Journals">Publisher Donation Program</a>.

Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs. </p><p>Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a <a href="/wiki/Sipesol:Ol_laik_bilong_mi#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Sipesol:Ol laik bilong mi">beta feature</a>.

They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way. <p>To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Background" data-mw-thread-id="h-Background-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Background-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"></span>Background<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Background-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"></span></h3></div> <p>In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold. </p><p>The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent <a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990">technical RfC</a> has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow. </p><p>Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public.

In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways: </p> <ul><li>Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.</li> <li>Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions. <ul><li>The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.</li></ul></li> <li>By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.</li> <li>Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.</li></ul> <p><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Synced_Reading_Lists" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikimedia Apps/Synced Reading Lists">More information can be found on MediaWiki.org</a> where feedback and ideas are welcome. </p><p>Thank you </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://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2017-09-20T20:35:00.000Z-Why_not_watchlists" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:35, 20 Septemba 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2017-09-20T20:35:00.000Z-Why_not_watchlists"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-CKoerner_(WMF)-2017-09-20T20:35:00.000Z-Why_not_watchlists"></span> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Changes_to_the_global_ban_policy" data-mw-thread-id="h-Changes_to_the_global_ban_policy-2017-11-12T00:34:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Changes_to_the_global_ban_policy-2017-11-12T00:34:00.000Z"></span>Changes to the global ban policy<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Changes_to_the_global_ban_policy-2017-11-12T00:34:00.000Z"></span></h2><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 lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Matiia-2017-11-12T00:34:00.000Z-Changes_to_the_global_ban_policy"></span>Hello.

I am writing to you today to notify you that <b>I intend to propose that this Wikipedia version be closed</b> due to human inactivity and lack of interest. I have reviewed your "recent changes" and find only one human edit on an actual article (not anti-vandalism work) in the last 30 days. There have been 27 edits in total in the last month, and despite your long existence, there are less than 1500 articles here. </p><p>It is clear that the long standing notice asking for help to revive this Wikipedia hasn't worked, and that you have no active community beyond visits from Stewards and the SWMT doing anti-vandal patrol.

(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://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-Tgr-2018-07-30T17:45:00.000Z-New_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS_/_JS" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:45, 30 Julai 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="">reply</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><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> (Interface administrators) 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>Thank you! </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://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#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 Novemba 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="">reply</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="Advanced_Search" data-mw-thread-id="h-Advanced_Search-2018-11-26T11:03:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Advanced_Search-2018-11-26T11:03:00.000Z"></span>Advanced Search<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Advanced_Search-2018-11-26T11:03:00.000Z"></span></h2><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"> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/AdvancedSearch" class="extiw" title="m:WMDE Technical Wishes/AdvancedSearch"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Johanna_Strodt_(WMDE)-2018-11-26T11:03:00.000Z-Advanced_Search"></span>Advanced Search</a> will become a default feature on your wiki on November 28.

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

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://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-Elitre_(WMF)-2020-07-09T20:10:00.000Z-Announcing_a_new_wiki_project!_Welcome,_Abstract_Wikipedia" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:10, 9 Julai 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)-2020-07-09T20:10:00.000Z-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="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Elitre_(WMF)-2020-07-09T20:10:00.000Z-Announcing_a_new_wiki_project!_Welcome,_Abstract_Wikipedia"></span> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="The_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC):_we_want_to_hear_from_you." data-mw-thread-id="h-The_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC):_we_want_to_hear_from_you."><span id="The_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_.28UCoC.29:_we_want_to_hear_from_you."></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC):_we_want_to_hear_from_you."></span>The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): we want to hear from you.<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC):_we_want_to_hear_from_you."></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <p><i>Hello.

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 href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Move_files_to_Commons" class="extiw" title="m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons">FileImporter extension</a> or the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes" class="extiw" title="m:WMDE Technical Wishes">Technical Wishes Project</a>, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team: </div><p><a href="/wiki/Yusa:Max_Klemm_(WMDE)" title="Yusa:Max Klemm (WMDE)">Max Klemm (WMDE)</a> <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-Max_Klemm_(WMDE)-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:14, 6 Ogas 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Max_Klemm_(WMDE)-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Max_Klemm_(WMDE)-2020-08-06T09:14:00.000Z-Technical_Wishes:_FileExporter_and_FileImporter_become_default_features_on_all_W"></span> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st" data-mw-thread-id="h-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st-2020-08-26T13:49:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st-2020-08-26T13:49:00.000Z"></span>Important: maintenance operation on September 1st<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st-2020-08-26T13:49:00.000Z"></span></h2><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"><div class="plainlinks"> <p><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server_switch_2020" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch 2020"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Trizek_(WMF)-2020-08-26T13:49:00.000Z-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st"></span>Read this message in another language</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server_switch_2020" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch 2020">Please help translate to your language</a> </p><p>The <a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="foundation:">Wikimedia Foundation</a> will be testing its secondary data centre.

The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Glossary" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk pages project/Glossary">newer editors</a> communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor. </p><p>The key results were: </p> <ul><li>Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/">more likely</a> to post a comment on a talk page.</li> <li>The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/">less likely</a> to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.</li></ul> <p>These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful. </p><p><strong>Looking ahead</strong> </p><p>The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months.

We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well. </p><p>Summary: </p> <div style="font-style:italic;"> <p>We will be running the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey">Community Wishlist Survey</a> 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Sandbox" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox">dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes</a>. </p> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Proposing_and_wish-fulfillment_will_happen_during_the_same_year" data-mw-thread-id="h-Proposing_and_wish-fulfillment_will_happen_during_the_same_year-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Proposing_and_wish-fulfillment_will_happen_during_the_same_year-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"></span>Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Proposing_and_wish-fulfillment_will_happen_during_the_same_year-The_2022_Community_Wishlist_Survey_will_happen_in_January"></span></h3></div> <p>In the past, the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Tech" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech">Community Tech</a> team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. 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></div> <p>We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in.

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. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback. </p><p><b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Board_of_Trustees_elections" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Board of Trustees elections">Join the conversation.</a></b> </p><p>Best, </p><p>Movement Strategy and Governance </p><p><a href="/wiki/Yusa:RamzyM_(WMF)" title="Yusa:RamzyM (WMF)">RamzyM (WMF)</a> <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-01-11T03:12:00.000Z-Call_for_Feedback_about_the_Board_of_Trustees_elections_is_now_open" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:12, 11 Janueri 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-01-11T03:12:00.000Z-Call_for_Feedback_about_the_Board_of_Trustees_elections_is_now_open"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-01-11T03:12:00.000Z-Call_for_Feedback_about_the_Board_of_Trustees_elections_is_now_open"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Feminism_and_Folklore_2022" data-mw-thread-id="h-Feminism_and_Folklore_2022-2022-01-11T05:49:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Feminism_and_Folklore_2022-2022-01-11T05:49:00.000Z"></span>Feminism and Folklore 2022<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Feminism_and_Folklore_2022-2022-01-11T05:49:00.000Z"></span></h2><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 lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tiven2240-2022-01-11T05:49:00.000Z-Feminism_and_Folklore_2022"></span>Please help translate to your language </p><p>Greetings!

The Board has approved an additional question which we seek feedback to: </p><p><b>How should affiliates participate in the elections?</b> Affiliates are an important part of the Wikimedia movement. Two seats of the Board of Trustees due to be filled this year were filled in 2019 through the Affiliate-selected Board seats process. <a class="external text" href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bylaws&type=revision&diff=123603&oldid=123339">A change in the Bylaws removed the distinction between community and affiliate seats</a>. This leaves the important question: How should affiliates be involved in the selection of new seats? </p><p>The Board of Trustees is seeking feedback about this last question especially, although not solely, from the affiliate community.

Out of the 2,283 votes received, a total of 1,338 (58.6%) community members voted for the enforcement guidelines, and a total of 945 (41.4%) community members voted against it. In addition, 658 participants left comments with 77% of the comments written in English. </p><p>We recognize and appreciate the passion and commitment that community members have demonstrated in creating a safe and welcoming culture that stops hostile and toxic behavior, supports people targeted by such behavior, and encourages good faith people to be productive on the Wikimedia projects. </p><p>Even at this incomplete stage, this is evident in the comments received. While the Enforcement Guidelines did reach a threshold of support necessary for the Board to review, we encouraged voters, regardless of which way they were voting, to provide feedback on the elements of the enforcement guidelines that they felt needed to be changed or fixed, as well as why, in case it seemed advisable to launch a further round of edits that would address community concerns. </p><p>Foundation staff who have been reviewing comments have advised us of some of the emerging themes, and as a result we have decided as Community Affairs Committee to ask the Foundation to reconvene the drafting committee and to undertake another community engagement to refine the enforcement guidelines based on the community feedback received from the recently concluded vote. </p><p>For clarity, this feedback has been clustered into 4 sections as follows: </p> <ol><li>To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the training;</li> <li>To simplify the language for easier translation and comprehension by non-experts;</li> <li>To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;</li> <li>To review the conflicting roles of privacy/victim protection and right to be heard.</li></ol> <p>Other issues may emerge during conversations, and particularly as the draft Enforcement Guidelines evolve, but we see these as the primary areas of concern for voters and are asking staff to facilitate review of these issues. After further engagement, the Foundation should re-run the community vote to evaluate the revamped Enforcement Outline to see if the new document is then ready for its official ratification. </p><p>Further, we are aware of the concerns with the note 3.1 in the Universal Code of Conduct Policy. We are directing the Foundation to facilitate a review of this language to ensure that the Policy meets its intended purposes of supporting a safe and inclusive community, without waiting for the planned review of the entire Policy at the end of year. </p><p>Again, we thank all who participated, thinking about these critical and difficult challenges and contributing to better approaches across the movement to working together well. </p><p>Best, </p><p>Rosie </p><p>Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight (she/her)<br/> Acting Chair, Community Affairs Committee <br/> Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees<br/> </p> </div> <p><a href="/wiki/Yusa:RamzyM_(WMF)" title="Yusa:RamzyM (WMF)">RamzyM (WMF)</a> <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Haus_bilong_toktok#c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-04-25T02:39:00.000Z-Next_steps:_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC)_and_UCoC_Enforcement_Guidelines" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:39, 25 Epril 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-04-25T02:39:00.000Z-Next_steps:_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC)_and_UCoC_Enforcement_Guidelines"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-04-25T02:39:00.000Z-Next_steps:_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_(UCoC)_and_UCoC_Enforcement_Guidelines"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="2022_Board_of_Trustees_Call_for_Candidates" data-mw-thread-id="h-2022_Board_of_Trustees_Call_for_Candidates-2022-04-25T15:47:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-2022_Board_of_Trustees_Call_for_Candidates-2022-04-25T15:47:00.000Z"></span><span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2022 Board of Trustees Call for Candidates</span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-2022_Board_of_Trustees_Call_for_Candidates-2022-04-25T15:47:00.000Z"></span></h2><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 lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <dl><dd><i><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Announcement/Call_for_Candidates/Short" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Announcement/Call for Candidates/Short"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-RamzyM_(WMF)-2022-04-25T15:47:00.000Z-2022_Board_of_Trustees_Call_for_Candidates"></span>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_elections/2022/Announcement/Call_for_Candidates/Short" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Announcement/Call for Candidates/Short">More languages</a> • <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Wikimedia+Foundation+elections%2F2022%2FAnnouncement%2FCall+for+Candidates%2FShort&language=&action=page&filter=">Please help translate to your language</a></div></i></dd></dl> <p>The Board of Trustees seeks candidates for the 2022 Board of Trustees election. <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Announcement/Call_for_Candidates" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Announcement/Call for Candidates"><b>Read more on Meta-wiki.</b></a> </p><p>The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022">2022 Board of Trustees election</a> is here!

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>But a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help change the participation? </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?

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/Sipesol:Ol_laik_bilong_mi#mw-prefsection-rendering" title="Sipesol:Ol laik bilong mi">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></div> <p>It's possible to configure and personalize our changes.

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 <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Content" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Content">here</a> on November 14, 2022.

Learn more about it <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Community Consultation">here</a>. </p><p>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 <b>“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter"</b> 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. </p><p>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.

It welcomed new leadership last year, including a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product and Technology Officer. Additionally, the Foundation has navigated conversations with global communities on a range of important issues, from a future charter defining roles and responsibilities, to how we raise shared resources through banner fundraising. This year's Annual Plan attempts to provide more clarity on multi-year strategic issues that do not have quick fixes, and more detailed information on how the Foundation operates. </p><p>For the second consecutive year, the Wikimedia Foundation is anchoring its annual plan in the movement's strategy to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity">advance equity</a>.

This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2024" class="extiw" title="c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2024">Wiki Loves Folklore</a> gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia. </p><p>You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles. </p><p>Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project: </p> <ol><li>Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.</li> <li>Set up a campaign on <b>CampWiz</b> tool.</li> <li>Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.</li> <li>Request local admins for site notice.</li> <li>Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Feminism_and_Folklore_2024/Project_Page" class="extiw" title="m:Feminism and Folklore 2024/Project Page">meta project page</a>.</li></ol> <p>This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the <b>Article List Generator by Topic</b> and <b>CampWiz</b>. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/"><b>Click here to access these tools</b></a> </p><p>Learn more about the contest and prizes on our <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Feminism_and_Folklore_2024" class="extiw" title="m:Feminism and Folklore 2024">project page</a>.

The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed.

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