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. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not. </p><p>On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors.

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.

With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them.

Using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under <i>User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages</i> </p><p>The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it.

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>Save page</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>Save page</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. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise. </p><p>Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes <code>{{int:Publishpage}}</code> and <code>{{int:Publishchanges}}</code> to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences" title="Special:Preferences">your account preferences</a>, these wikitext codes produce “<bdi>Publish page</bdi>” and “<bdi>Publish changes</bdi>”. </p><p>Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested. </p> </div> <p><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Whatamidoing_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User:Whatamidoing (WMF)">Whatamidoing (WMF)</a> (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Whatamidoing_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)">talk</a>) 18:03, 9 Ɔsannaa 2016 (UTC) </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Wikipedia_to_the_Moon_working_phase" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikipedia_to_the_Moon_working_phase"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikipedia_to_the_Moon_working_phase"></span>Wikipedia to the Moon working phase<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikipedia_to_the_Moon_working_phase"></span></h2></div> <p>Dear Akan Wikipedia language community, </p><p>First of all, I am sorry to write this in English. </p><p>You may already have heard about <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipdia_to_the_Moon" class="extiw" title="meta:Wikipdia to the Moon">Wikipedia to the Moon</a>: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them.

Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like <i>you</i> to tell us what the very best articles in your language are. </p><p>There are two ways you could do this: </p> <dl><dd>1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon</dd></dl> <dl><dd>2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_to_the_Moon/Working" class="extiw" title="meta:Wikipedia to the Moon/Working">here</a>, we will also take the articles to the moon.</dd></dl> <p>The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016.

Please <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">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>.

There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings.

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.

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/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">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="/w/index.php?title=Odwumany%C9%9Bni:MediaWiki_message_delivery&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Odwumanyɛni:MediaWiki message delivery (page does not exist)">MediaWiki message delivery</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Odwumany%C9%9Bni_nk%C9%94mm%C9%94bea:MediaWiki_message_delivery&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Odwumanyɛni nkɔmmɔbea:MediaWiki message delivery (page does not exist)">talk</a>) 16:52, 19 Oforisuo 2017 (UTC) </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/File: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>.

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. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Why_not_watchlists" data-mw-thread-id="h-Why_not_watchlists-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Why_not_watchlists-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"></span>Why not watchlists<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Why_not_watchlists-Discussion_on_synced_reading_lists"></span></h3></div> <p>Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. 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>) 20:35, 20 Ɛbɔ 2017 (UTC) </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="New_print_to_pdf_feature_for_mobile_web_readers" data-mw-thread-id="h-New_print_to_pdf_feature_for_mobile_web_readers"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-New_print_to_pdf_feature_for_mobile_web_readers"></span>New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers<span data-mw-comment-end="h-New_print_to_pdf_feature_for_mobile_web_readers"></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <p><b>New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers</b> </p><p>The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_PDFs" class="extiw" title="mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile PDFs">easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website</a>. </p><p>Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers/Offline" class="extiw" title="m:New Readers/Offline">the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India</a>.

Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Maps#Milestones_and_Updates" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Maps">fifteen Wikipedias</a>, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages. </p><p>A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Collaboration" class="extiw" title="mw:Collaboration">Collaboration team</a> has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable. <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191583" class="extiw" title="phab:T191583">Nine Wikipedias</a> that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release. </p><p>Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics.

The <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Team" class="extiw" title="mw:Reading/Web/Team">Readers web team</a> has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues. </p><p>So far, we have <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues" class="extiw" title="mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues">drafted a proposal on the design and implementation</a> of the project. We were also able to run <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues/Research_Results" class="extiw" title="mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues/Research Results">user testing on the proposed designs</a>. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned: </p> <ul><li>The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.</li> <li>Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work</li> <li>Readers care about page issues and consider them important</li> <li>Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues</li></ul> <p>Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development.

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>) 19:34, 13 Obubuo 2018 (UTC) </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote" data-mw-thread-id="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"></span>Community Wishlist Survey vote<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Community_Wishlist_Survey_vote"></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks"> <p>The Community Wishlist Survey.

(Please help translate to your language) </p><p>I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wikis. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot <i>DiBabelYurikBot</i> can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WP:TNT" class="extiw" title="mw:WP:TNT">mw:WP:TNT</a> for details and ask questions on talk page. </p><p>P.S.

The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them. </p><p>This is the reason why the <b><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge">Wikidata Bridge</a></b> project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki. </p><p>The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge/Research" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge/Research">user research</a> has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge/Development" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge/Development">development</a> will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019. </p><p>In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving. </p><p>Here’s the planned timeline: </p> <ul><li>From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.</li> <li>From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.</li> <li>Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities. <ul><li>We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)</li> <li>but we also welcome also communities who <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge/Get involved">volunteer to be part of the first test round</a>.</li> <li>Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.</li> <li>Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.</li></ul></li></ul> <p>In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code. </p><p>If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help: </p> <ul><li>Read and help translating <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge">the documentation pages</a></li> <li>Follow the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge/Updates" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge/Updates">updates</a> and participate in <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:V1x2lxtu8rgi954a" class="extiw" title="mw:Topic:V1x2lxtu8rgi954a">the first feedback loop</a></li> <li>Talk about it with your local community</li></ul> <p>More ideas will be added <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved" class="extiw" title="mw:Wikidata Bridge/Get involved">on this page</a> along the way </p><p>If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata_Bridge" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:Wikidata Bridge">on the main talk page</a>.

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-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><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-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><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-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><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.

It is of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC and its values. We should think about what we want it to cover or include and what it shouldn’t include, and how it may create difficulties or help our groups. </p><p>This is the time to talk about it. Before starting drafting the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you and to solicit the opinions and feedback of your colleagues. In order for your voice to be heard, we encourage and invite you to read more about <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct">the universal code of conduct (UCoC)</a> and then write down your opinions or feedback <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct" class="extiw" title="m:Talk:Universal Code of Conduct">on the discussion page</a>. </p><p>To reduce language barriers during the process, you are welcome to translate <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Universal+Code+of+Conduct&language=en&action=page&filter=">the universal code of conduct main page</a> from English into your respective local language.

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/User:Max_Klemm_(WMDE)" title="User:Max Klemm (WMDE)">Max Klemm (WMDE)</a> 09:13, 6 Ɔsannaa 2020 (UTC) </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"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st"></span>Important: maintenance operation on September 1st<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Important:_maintenance_operation_on_September_1st"></span></h2></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">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.

According to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot_policy/Implementation#Where_it_is_policy" class="extiw" title="m:Bot policy/Implementation">the list</a>, your wiki project currently is opted in to the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot_policy#Global_bots" class="extiw" title="m:Bot policy">global bot policy</a>. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards. </p><p>As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links. </p><p>A <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Refine_global_bot_policy" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Refine global bot policy">proposal</a> was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GS" class="extiw" title="m:GS">global sysops</a> and <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GR" class="extiw" title="m:GR">global renamers</a>, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:ListeriaBot" class="extiw" title="m:User:ListeriaBot">ListeriaBot</a>. </p><p>By this message, I would like to invite you to comment <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Refine_global_bot_policy" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Refine global bot policy">in the global RFC</a>, to voice your opinion about this matter. </p><p>Thank you for your time. </p><p>Best regards,<br/> <a href="/wiki/User:Martin_Urbanec" title="User:Martin Urbanec">Martin Urbanec</a> (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Martin_Urbanec" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Martin Urbanec">talk</a>) 11:49, 24 Obubuo 2020 (UTC) </p> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Wikidata_descriptions_changes_to_be_included_more_often_in_Recent_Changes_and_Watchlist" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikidata_descriptions_changes_to_be_included_more_often_in_Recent_Changes_and_Wa"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikidata_descriptions_changes_to_be_included_more_often_in_Recent_Changes_and_Wa"></span>Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikidata_descriptions_changes_to_be_included_more_often_in_Recent_Changes_and_Wa"></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <p><i>Sorry for sending this message in English.

I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Set_short_project_namespace_aliases_by_default_globally" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally">m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally</a>. </p><p>In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC. </p><p>This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like <tt>WP:NPOV</tt>, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first. </p><p>As far as I can see, Wikipedia currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community. </p><p>I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Set_short_project_namespace_aliases_by_default_globally" class="extiw" title="m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally">m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally</a>. </p><p>Please feel free to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Martin_Urbanec" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Martin Urbanec">ask me</a> if you have any questions about this proposal. </p><p>Best regards,<br/> --<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Martin_Urbanec" class="extiw" title="m:User:Martin Urbanec">Martin Urbanec</a> (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Martin_Urbanec" class="extiw" title="m:User talk:Martin Urbanec">talk</a>) 14:11, 18 Ɔgyefuo 2021 (UTC) </p> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Wikifunctions_logo_contest" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikifunctions_logo_contest"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikifunctions_logo_contest"></span>Wikifunctions logo contest<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikifunctions_logo_contest"></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> Hello.

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. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias. </p><p>The next step is to <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280599" class="extiw" title="phab:T280599">resolve a technical challenge</a>.

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.

These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself. </p><p>Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month. </p><p>Members of the two prior <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee">UCoC Drafting Committees</a> have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines.

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/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering" title="Special:Preferences">your preferences</a> and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"><span id="How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"></span>How can editors change and customize this skin?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_can_editors_change_and_customize_this_skin?-The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?"></span></h3></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. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 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.

The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed. </p><p><b>About the Ombuds commission</b> </p><p>The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser_policy" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy">CheckUser</a> and <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Oversight_policy" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy">Oversight</a> (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, <b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds_commission" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission">see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki</a></b>. </p><p>Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve <b>two-year terms</b> (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year). </p><p><b>About the Case Review Committee</b> </p><p>The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions.
