Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Please help translate to your language

Hei. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Kiitos! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 26. helmikuuta 2020 kello 14.14 (UTC)

Sanaston luomisen ja ylläpidon kannalta olisi ihanteellista, jos tietoja pääsisi lisäämään kuka tahansa luonnonvärjäyksestä kiinnostunut. Wikipedian puolelle ei sanastoamme kelpuutettu, ja sieltä suositeltiin tätä Wikikirjastoa tähän tarkoitukseen.

The new features include a toolbar. What do you think should be in the toolbar?

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Keskustelutyökalut". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.

Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:

• More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
• More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
• The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
• In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
• Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
• On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩‍🚀
• Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation . We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.

It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.

We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.

There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list . We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Tämä kuitenkin vaatisi sen, että joku jonka oikeudet riittävät tekisi nämä samat muutokset oikeaan etusivuun.

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

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 configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

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.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa toissijaista datakeskustaan. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen suuronnettomuuden jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Kaikki tietoliikenne siirretään toissijaiseen datakeskukseen tiistaina 1. syyskuuta 2020.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, joiden vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

• Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan tiistaina 1. syyskuuta. Testi alkaa 14:00 UTC (kello 17 Suomen aikaa).
• Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

• Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.
• Koodin jäädyttäminen tapahtuu viikolla, jolla 1 syyskuuta 2020 sijoittuu. Kiireettömät ohjelmiston julkaisut keskeytetään.

Projektia voidaan tarpeen mukaan siirtää. Voit katsoa aikataulun sivulta wikitech.wikimedia.org. Kaikista aikataulua koskevista muutoksista ilmoitetaan etukäteen. Ilmoitamme vielä lisää tästä. Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa.

Hei. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Kiitos! --Quiddity (WMF)

Update to ICU Unicode library

Starting on November 16, we will migrate the servers running the MediaWiki application servers to a new release of the ICU Unicode library (w:International Components for Unicode) (from version 57 to 63).

This unblocks some future work on upgrading the servers to a new Operating System release and will also allow the use of improved internationalisation in the future (as wikis will then be able to use features introduced by the new ICU release such as new collation definitions, and allows us to use a more recent version of Unicode in MediaWiki).

This migration will cause some unavoidable temporary user-visible impact: The sorting of some category pages will be distorted – all pages which have been updated with the new software version will use the new sorting while untouched pages still use the old sorting. As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries.

The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki.

This affects 149 wikis (including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias). The detailed list and the task for the technical implementation is at T264991.

Thank you.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

TÄRKEÄÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden tarkastus

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamista (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjä jne.) otettiin käyttöön yhteisön konsensuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaisesti ylivalvojat arvioivat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole käytäntöä aktiivisuuden vähäisyydestä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamiseksi tunnuksilta, jotka eivät ole aktiivisia. Tämä tarkoittaa, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat asiasta ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden arvioinnin nojalla.

Katsomme, että seuraavat käyttäjät ovat määritelmän mukaan passiivisia (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli kahteen vuoteen):

1. TJ (byrokraatti, ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoituksen, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, mikäli he haluavat säilyttää jonkin käyttöoikeutensa tai kaikki oikeudet. Jos käyttäjät eivät reagoi tähän viestiin, ylivalvojat poistavat heiltä edistyneet käyttöoikeudet.

Mikäli te yhteisönä haluatte laatia oman menetelmänne aktiivisuuden tutkimiseen, joka tulee järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön tilalle, tai jos haluatte tehdä toisenlaisen ratkaisun koskien näitä passiivisia käyttöoikeuden haltijoita tai jos teillä on olemassa oleva käytäntö, jota emme ole huomanneet, ottakaa yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä. Näin saamme asiasta tiedon emmekä suorita jatkossa käyttöoikeuksien arviointia wikissänne. Kiitos, --علاء (keskustelu) 18. tammikuuta 2021 kello 10.37 (UTC)

Eri opetussuunnitelmat perusopetuksen ja lukion kirjoissa

Osa kirjoista on kirjoitettu eri opetussuunnitelmien mukaan. Suurin osa vaikuttaa pohjautuvan vuoden 2016 opetussuunnitelmaan, mutta opetussuunnitelma muuttuu taas uudelleen 2021. Käytettävät opetussuunnitelmat menevät vuosiluokan mukaan, eli molemmat opetussuunnitelmat ovat yhtä aikaa käytössä. Pitäisikö eri opetussuunnitelmille olla kokonaan eri kirjat, vai pitäisikö olla ainoastaan omat etusivut molemmille opetussuunnitelmille, joista molemmat linkittää samoihin kurssien kappaleisiin, mutta vain opetussuunnitelman omassa järjestyksessä? Toinen vaihtoehto olisi muokata vanha opetussuunnitelma uuden mukaiseksi, mutta tämä tekisi opiskelun hankalammaksi vanhaa opetussuunnitelmaa käyttäville. Tämä varmaan riippuu tapauskohtaisesti siitä kuinka paljon muutoksia eri aineiden opetussuunnitelmissa on.

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

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Wikikirjasto currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Please help translate to your language

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Esimerkki

Alkaen 15 huhtikuuta voit ottaa käyttöön rivien numerointia eräissä wikitekstieditoreissa, ensin Malline -nimiavaruudessa ja myöhemmin myös muissa nimiavaruuksissa. Tämä ominaisuus helpottaa rivinvaihtojen tunnistamista sekä tiettyyn riviin viittaamista keskusteluissa. Rivit numeroidaan kun otat koodin väritys -toiminnalisuuden käyttöön (CodeMirror), mikä on mahdollista WikiEditorilla sekä uudella wikitekstitilalla.

Lisätietoa löytyy tällä projektisivulla. Palautetta pyydetään lisätä tälle keskustelusivulle.

Suggested Values

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Editing news 2021 #2

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors 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.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

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.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Keskustelutyökalut" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen suuronnettomuuden jälkeen. Wikimedian tekniikkaosasto varmistaa järjestelmän toiminnan ennakkoon suunnitellulla testillä, jonka tarkoituksena on osoittaa luotettava siirtymä datakeskuksesta toiseen. Toimenpide vaatii monien tiimien ennakkovalmisteluja ja testinaikaista läsnäoloa, jotta kaikki odottamattomat ongelmat saadaan korjattua.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, joiden vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

• Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan tiistaina 29. kesäkuuta. Testi alkaa 14:00 UTC (kello 17 Suomen aikaa).
• Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

• Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hello everyone,

We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.

Summary:

We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.

However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.

We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.

A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet

We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.

We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!

Feedback

• What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
• How would you like to use our new sandbox?

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

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

Lisää kieliä • Please help translate to your language

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

• What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

• What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msgwikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Kiitos. Xeno (WMF) 27. joulukuuta 2021 kello 17.41 (UTC)

TÄRKEÄÄ: Ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden tarkastus

Hei. Käytäntö koskien "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamista (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti, käyttöliittymän ylläpitäjä jne.) otettiin käyttöön yhteisön konsensuksella vuonna 2013. Tämän käytännön mukaisesti ylivalvojat arvioivat ylläpitäjien aktiivisuutta wikeissä, joissa ei ole käytäntöä aktiivisuuden vähäisyydestä. Parhaan tietomme mukaan tässä wikissä ei ole muodollista prosessia "edistyneiden käyttöoikeuksien" poistamiseksi tunnuksilta, jotka eivät ole aktiivisia. Tämä tarkoittaa, että ylivalvojat huolehtivat asiasta ylläpitäjien aktiivisuuden arvioinnin nojalla.

Katsomme, että seuraavat käyttäjät ovat määritelmän mukaan passiivisia (ei muokkauksia eikä lokitapahtumia yli kahteen vuoteen):

1. Hartz (ylläpitäjä)

Nämä käyttäjät saavat pian ilmoituksen, jossa heitä pyydetään aloittamaan keskustelu yhteisössä, mikäli he haluavat säilyttää jonkin käyttöoikeutensa tai kaikki oikeudet. Jos käyttäjät eivät reagoi tähän viestiin, ylivalvojat poistavat heiltä edistyneet käyttöoikeudet.

Mikäli te yhteisönä haluatte laatia oman menetelmänne aktiivisuuden tutkimiseen, joka tulee järjestelmänlaajuisen käytännön tilalle, tai jos haluatte tehdä toisenlaisen ratkaisun koskien näitä passiivisia käyttöoikeuden haltijoita tai jos teillä on olemassa oleva käytäntö, jota emme ole huomanneet, ottakaa yhteyttä ylivalvojiin Meta-Wikissä. Näin saamme asiasta tiedon emmekä suorita jatkossa käyttöoikeuksien arviointia wikissänne. Kiitos, Stanglavine (keskustelu) 4. tammikuuta 2022 kello 15.38 (UTC)
