IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Skalman (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, --علاء (diskusjon) 8. jan. 2020 kl. 12:09 (CET)

Hej wiktionaryaner! Jag fick admin-behörighet, så att jag skulle kunna hjälpa till med MediaWiki:Gadget-translation editor.js. Jag tror inte att min hjälp behövs särskilt ofta, så jag har inget emot att bli av med behörigheten. Ni avgör om ni vill behålla mig som admin här. :-) Skalman (diskusjon) 8. jan. 2020 kl. 21:50 (CET)

Hei @Skalman, beklager sent svar – så ikke denne meldingen. Det gjør ikke så mye fra eller til hvem som har admin-rettigheter her, det er et lite prosjekt, men på en annen side ser det ikke ut til at du trenger disse på nåværende tidspunkt (siden dette var én gang for 2 år siden). Så kanskje vi bare kan la det være, men om du skulle trenge å endre noe igjen i fremtiden er det lett å gi deg rettighetene tilbake igjen. Mewasul (diskusjon) 21. feb. 2020 kl. 07:47 (CET)

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project

Hello

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

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

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. feb. 2020 kl. 15:15 (CET)

Feedback on movement names

Hallo. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Hjelp til med å oversette til ditt språk if necessary. Takk!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 2. jul. 2020 kl. 21:39 (CEST)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Kunngjøring av et nytt wikiprosjekt! Velkommen, Abstrakt Wikipedia

Hei,

Det er en glede for meg å kunne introdusere Abstrakt Wikipedia, et nytt prosjekt som har blitt enstemmig godkjent av styret i Wikimedia Foundations. Abstrakt Wikipedia er et forslag om en ny måte å generere grunnleggende ensyklopedisk innhold på en flerspråklig måte, og lar flere bidragsytere og lesere dele kunnskap på flere språk. Det er en tilnærmingsmåte som søker å gjøre samarbeid på tvers av språk enklere for prosjektene våre, å øke bærekraften til bevegelsen vår ved å utvide tilgangen til deltakelse, å forbedre brukererfaringen for lesere på alle språk, og å skape innovasjon innen fri kunnskap ved å koble sammen styrkene i bevegelsen vår til å skape noe nytt.

Dette er vårt første nye prosjekt på over sju år. Abstrakt Wikipedia ble foreslått av Denny Vrandečić i mai 2020 etter flere års forberedelser og undersøkelser som har ført til en detaljert plan og livlig diskusjon i Wikimedia-felleskapene. Vi vet at energien og kreativiteten til felleskapet vårt ofte møter språkbarrierer, og informasjon som er tilgjengelig på ett språk ofte ikke finnes på Wikipedia-er på andre språk. 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)

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 Foundation vil teste reservedatasenteret sitt. Dette skal sikre at Wikipedia og de andre Wikimedia-wikiene forblir online selv om en katastrofe skulle oppstå. For å sikre at alt fungerer, trenger Wikimedias teknologiske avdeling til å utføre en planlagt test. Denne testen vil vise om det er mulig å bytte fra det ene datasenteret til det andre uten problemer. Det vil kreve mye arbeid for å forberede testen og fikse eventuelle problemer.

De vil flytte all trafikk til reservedatasenteret tirsdag 1. september 2020.

På grunn av noen begrensninger i MediaWiki må all redigering stoppes mens vi bytter. Vi beklager forstyrrelsen, og jobber med å minimere den i framtida.

Du vil kunne lese alle wikiene, men ikke redigere dem i et kort tidsrom.

• Du vil ikke være i stand til å redigere i opptil en time tirsdag 1. september. Testen starter 14:00 UTC (16:00 norsk tid).
• Hvis du prøver å redigere eller lagre i dette tidsrommet vil du se en feilmelding. Vi håper at ingen redigeringer vil gå tapt i disse minuttene, men kan ikke garantere noe. Hvis du ser feilmeldingen, vent til alt virker som normalt igjen. Deretter skal du kunne redigere som vanlig. For sikkerhets skyld anbefaler vi likevel at du lagrer en kopi av arbeidet ditt.

Andre ting verdt å nevne:

• Bakgrunnsjobber kan ta lengre tid og noen kan bli avbrutt eller terminert. Røde lenker vil ikke oppdateres like raskt som normalt. Hvis du oppretter en artikkel som er lenket til et annet sted, så vil lenken være rød lengre enn vanlig. Noen skript som tar lang tid vil stoppe.
• Det vil være en kodefrys i uka som inneholder 1. september (uke 36). Ikke-essensielle kodeutrullinger vil ikke skje.

Dette prosjektet kan bli utsatt om nødvendig. Du kan lese tidsplanen på wikitech.wikimedia.org. Skulle noen endringer skje vil det komme på tidsplanen. Det vil komme flere varsler angående dette. Vennligst del denne informasjonen med nettsamfunnet ditt.

Wiki of functions naming contest

Hjelp til med å oversette til ditt språk.

Hallo. 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. Takk! --Quiddity (WMF)

Sletnings- og beskyttelsesårsager

Kunne man tilføje "Ikke relevant for Wiktionary" (eller noget lignende - og på norsk) til MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown? Har lige slettet et par sider, der hører hjemme på Wikipedia (hvis relevant der). Tilsvarende kunne man på MediaWiki:Protect-dropdown tilføje noget i retning af "Slettet gentagne gange" - på norsk.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Hallo!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Hjelp til med å oversette til ditt språk. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. 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.

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.

A proposal 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, global sysops and global renamers, 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 ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

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!
