message: Why are interface translations in French and Lingala, instead of JUST lingala??
replies: text: Unfortunately the number of Lingála speaking participants on the Lingála Wikipedia is very small. Some people who help the Lingála Wikipedia can't speak very well the Lingála language. That is the reason because some menus are bilingual Lingála/French. First all tools were in English.

replies: text: :::Mark has brought this issue up on the Wikipedia mailing list. Have you considered just setting your own Preferences to French rather than adding French to the default interface? Any logged in user can see the interface in any language after setting their preferences, and non-logged users can do so by appending &uselang=en to the URL, like Lonkásá ya libosó?uselang=fr.

text: :: The interface and the content should be in lingala only. So far we still need a lot of translators. The interface is not completely translated but what has been done should not be displayed in french. As far as the content, we should avoid having pages in English or French. It's okey to have keyword (as in a table or sections titles) but the content itself should be in lingala. Translators shouldn't copy and paste, and then leave untranslated text. ----Moyogo 16:26, 8 septembere 2005 (UTC)

Lisapo lya Wikipedia. Bazalí nkásá 1 426 ya lingála o Wikipedia.I have changed this sentence to Nkásá ya lingála izali. Ba is the subject marker for the third person of plural in lingala when human beings are involved. The subject markers for other classes of nouns depend on the prefix. Nkásá (plural of lokásá) starts with a nasal consonant therefore the appropriate subject marker is i instead of Ba. I do think the sequence of the word is better this new way than the old. The old sequence sound more like a translation word by word from french or english Il y a 332 pages de lingála or There are 332 lingála's pages. Thought of a native Kinshasa-lingála speaker not a native Mangémba-lingála speaker. -- ce méssage non signé est du 23 febwáli 2011 à 18:20 de Esengo
**Merci Esengo, tes contributions et améliorations sont très bienvenues. Il n'y a malheureusement pas beaucoup de contributeurs qui maitrisent le lingala à fond. Thank you very much for your contributions and improvements. Unfortunately, there are only a few people here who know lingala very well (I do not).--Etienne (Bombo) 23 febwáli 2011 à 20:10 (UTC)
Boyéí bolámu na ebandeli ya Wikipedia, búku ya libosó ya lingála. Sɔ́kí olobaka lingála mpé sɔ́kí okanísí éte búku ya lingála ekokí ékozala malámu, okɛí na kotámbola ya libosó.
 
Je pense que les deux verbes en gras doivent etre corriges, le premier c'est le present perfective et je suggere que ékozala soit change en kozala. 
Quand on utilise le present perfective en lingala, seul le premier verbe auxiliare (qui n'est pas l'auxiliare etre ou avoir, l'auxiliare etre est utilise en present progressive) est conjugue au temps present mais le verbe principal reste a l'infinitif. 
Pour okɛí ,  c'est plutot l'imperatif qu'on doit utiliser au lieu du temps indicatif present. Le singulier de l'imperatif en lingala se forme en faisant tomber le marker de l'infinitif ko. Ainsi okɛí serait kɛndɛ
Boyéí bolámu na ebandeli ya Wikipedia, búku ya libosó ya lingála. Sɔ́kí olobaka lingála mpé sɔ́kí okanísí éte búku ya lingála ekokí kozala malámu, kɛndɛ na kotámbola ya libosó.
Si au lieu de l'imperatif vous preferez utiliser le subjonctif present alors il serait bon de dire . Ekosengele éte ókɛndɛ na kotámbola ya libosó.
ou bien 
Boyéí bolámu na ebandeli ya Wikipedia, búku ya libosó ya lingála. Sɔ́kí olobaka lingála mpé sɔ́kí okanísí éte búku ya lingála ekokí kozala malámu, Ekosengele éte ókɛndɛ  na kotámbola ya libosó. 
En lingala, le subjonctif est plus respectueux que l'imperatif.

thread_title:  Wikibooks 

message: Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the Japanese language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. In fact, of over 1,700 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 75 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages for well over 100 extensions, with over 1,550 messages. Translators for over 70 languages contribute their work to MediaWiki this way every month.
If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator privileges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on MediaWiki.org and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.
If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.
You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.
Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 13 dɛsɛ́mbɛ 2007 à 17:30 (UTC)

I updated the image and lowered the acute. You may need to click on the image and press CTRL+F5, because the old image is still in your browser's cache and the image will not update on your computer automatically. If the community agrees that version 1 is fine, I think it's best that an admin here uploads it to :File:Wiki.png (on this Wikipedia) and protects it. Then we can file a bug report at bugzilla and make the bugfixers change the logo. If there are still some minor issues with the logo, I still think it's best to upload it first. Changes can always be made by uploading a new version of the logo. Kapitein 2 apríli 2009 à 16:04 (UTC)

message: The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from translatewiki.net typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months.
The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner
===What this means for you===
Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are exactly the same as the system message will be removed.  What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net. 
Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same.
===Why localise at translatewiki.net===
When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make.

thread_title: Translatewiki.net update

message: We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well.  There are two questions we would like you to answer:
Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative
Does MediaWiki support your language properly
The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. 
We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.
When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.
We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_issues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly.  The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party.  Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

message: Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis.  As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org.  For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.
The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:
* Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
* New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
* The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
* Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
* Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
* Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
* The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
* More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
* Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
* Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
* Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.
Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.
Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account.  You should avoid using the same password as you use here.  — Global message delivery 15 yanwáli 2012 à 16:22 (UTC)

message: The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team. 
This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.
As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.
What this means for your project:
*At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)
*In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6. 
*We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.
Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!
Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.
About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.
From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.  
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. 
We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.
See you on Commons!

Hi,
As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.
Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

message: (Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) 
As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.
The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:
# language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
# infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
# lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)
It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta. 
For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Hello All,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile. 
The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)
By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :)
If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.
=== What is Wikidata? ===
Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.
=== What is going to happen? ===
Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.
=== Where can I find more information and ask questions? ===
Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.
=== I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata ===

message: (Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)
Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.
If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.
If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

thread_title:  Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful 

message: Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on :de:Wikipedia:Kurier.
A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.
What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here?
Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)
How will this work?
There are two ways to access the data:
* Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
* For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.
We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.
Where can I test this?
You can already test it on test2.
Where can I find more information and ask questions?
We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.
What does having phase 2 enabled here mean?
You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.
How will this work?
There are two ways to access the data:
* Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
* For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.
We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.
Where can I test this?
You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.
Where can I find more information and ask questions?
We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

message: The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.
Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.
Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.
Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

* The logo of 18 Wikipedias was changed to version 2.0 in a third group of updates.  
* The UploadWizard on Commons now shows links to the old upload form in 55 languages (bug 33513). 
;Future software changes:
* The next version of MediaWiki (version 1.22/wmf5) will be added to Wikimedia sites starting on May 27. 
* An updated version of Notifications, with new features and fewer bugs, will be added to the English Wikipedia on May 23. 
* The final version of the "single user login" (which allows people to use the same username on different Wikimedia wikis) is moved to August 2013. The software will automatically rename some usernames. 
* A new discussion system for MediaWiki, called "Flow", is under development. Wikimedia designers need your help to inform other users, test the prototype and discuss the interface. .
* The Wikimedia Foundation is hiring people to act as links between software developers and users for VisualEditor.

Greetings,
The Wikimedia Foundation will soon turn on VisualEditor for all users, all the time on your Wikipedia. Right now your Wikipedia does not have any local documents on VisualEditor, and we hope that your community can change that. To find out about how you can help with translations visit the TranslationCentral for VisualEditor and read the easy instructions on bringing information to your Wikipedia. The User Guide and the FAQ are very important to have in your language.
 
We want to find out as much as we can from you about VisualEditor and how it helps your Wikipedia, and having local pages is a great way to start. We also encourage you to leave feedback on Mediawiki where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to Bugzilla. 
If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process.
If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well. Translatewiki has open tasks for translating VisualEditor. A direct link to translate the user interface is here.  You can see how we are doing with those translations here. You need an account on Translatewiki to translate.  This account is free and easy to create.
If we can help your community in any way with this process, please let me know and I will do my best to assist your Wikipedia with this |exciting development. You can contact me on my meta talk page or by email.  You can also contact Patrick Earley for help with translations and documents on Mediawiki.  We look forward to working with you to bring the VisualEditor experience to your Wikipedia! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 30 yúli 2013 à 19:07 (UTC)

Greetings!  
Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects. 
We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.  
There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:
*Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
*Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
*Notifications help on mediawiki.org.  This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia.  You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.
Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.
Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.
Here are the first features you can test this week:
* Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
* VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
* Typography Refresh —  make text more readable (coming Thursday)
Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.
After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC. 
Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.
Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think!  Keegan (WMF) (talk) 5 novɛ́mbɛ 2013 à 20:17 (UTC)

Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make  better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals. 
Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:
*Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials) 
*Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
*Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
*Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)
Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!

thread_title:  Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment 

message: This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is: 
* April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
* April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live
This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.
Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP.
I propose to have
* local "" restricted to the "" group (for emergency uploads) and
* the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,
so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.
All this will get done around 2014-07-03.
# If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
# To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

message: Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today. 
Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.
If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.
We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF)  (talk) 19 yúni 2014 à 21:54 (UTC)

thread_title:  Media Viewer is now live on this wiki 

message: Bonjour. Une nouvelle décision au sujet du retrait des « droits avancés » (administrateur, bureaucrate, etc.) a été récemment adoptée par un consensus général de la communauté (votre communauté a reçu un message au sujet de cette discussion). Suite à cette décision, les stewards examinent actuellement l’activité administrateur des petits wikis. Pour autant que nous sachions, votre wiki n’a pas de procédure précise pour retirer les « droits avancés » des comptes inactifs. Ça signifie que les stewards vont s’en occuper, selon les nouvelles procédures d’examen d’activité administrateur.
Nous avons établi que les utilisateurs suivants réunissent les critères d’inactivité (pas de contribution ni de connexion depuis plus de 2 ans):
#Bombo (administrateur)
Ces utilisateurs recevront bientôt un avis leur demandant d’ouvrir une discussion publique s’il veulent conserver tout ou partie de leurs droits. En l’absence de réponse, leurs droits avancés leur seront retirés par les stewards.
Si votre communauté souhaite cependant établir son propre processus d’examen de l’activité annulant et remplaçant les critères retenus plus globalement, si votre communauté souhaite prendre une décision différente au sujet des détenteurs de droits qui restent inactifs ou si votre communauté a déjà pris une décision que nous n’aurions pas prise en compte, dans ce cas précisez-le s’il vous plaît aux stewards sur Meta-Wiki afin que nous ne mettions pas en place d’examen des statuts des utilisateurs sur votre wiki. Merci, Rschen7754 12 augústo 2014 à 06:05 (UTC)
thread_title:  IMPORTANT : Examen de l’activité administrateur 

message: The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.
If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Hello,
I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects?  We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.
I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.
Kind regards,

message: Hello all, 
There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.
We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.
It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

thread_title:  New Wikipedia Library Accounts Now Available (November 2014) 

message: Hello,
AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the Editing team at WMF wants to know what you think about VisualEditor and its new  tool.  This change will affect all users on about 50 Wikipedias, including your Wikipedia.  Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.  
The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now.  Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following the directions at mediawiki.org.
To test the  tool, please:
# Opt-in to VisualEditor by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and choosing "".  Save your preferences.
# Edit any article or your user page in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "" tab at the top of the page. See the :mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide for information on how to use VisualEditor. 
# Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org.  The developers would like to know what you think about this new design.  It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible.   You may leave your comments in any language. 
When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at this wiki.  If you want to help prepare, please read the advice on mediawiki.org.

VisualEditor is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th.  is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing [[ to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it; you can test  right now. To turn it on, select "Beta" in your preferences. Choose "" and click save.
Now, when you press the "" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "". (After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor.) For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see :mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide. 
More information about preparing for VisualEditor is posted here.
* It's easier to add templates if you've added TemplateData instructions to them. 
* Please help translate the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user guide, go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations.  To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
* We need your help to improve the software!  Please let us know if you find any problems.

With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:
Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results.  Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:  
After inserting the citation, you can change it.  Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.
The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator. 
The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC).  You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker.  Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug.  Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal. 
=== Recent improvements ===
VisualEditor is now substantially faster.  In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias.  The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates.  If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users.  After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March.  This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. 
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese.  These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”).  Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model.  Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries.  This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu".  It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename.  The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)
=== Looking ahead ===
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor.  Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list.  Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors.  The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

message: This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.
This year, elections are being held for the following roles:
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection.  There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.    
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities.  There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees,  and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis.  One position is being filled.  More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page. 
The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org 
On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core.  If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a  migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.
There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.
Thank you,

message: Hello, Content Translation has now been enabled as an opt-in beta feature on the Lingala Wikipedia. To start translating: 
# Please enable the Beta feature in your preferences and check the box for Content Translation. 
# Visit the page Special:ContentTranslation or to your contributions page to open the tool. 
# Click on the blue button to create a new translation. 
# A dialog will be displayed. In the From section select the language of the original article and the article name, and the language you would like to translate to. Also add the title of the new article (or the original title will be inserted) and click on Translate to begin. Your language preferences will be remembered for the next time. 
# You will see a screen consisting of three columns. The left column contains the text of the source language and the middle column is for the translated text. Using the right column you can perform several actions such as insert source text, remove the inserted text source text, add or remove links etc.  
# After you translate the article, you can publish it directly as a new page on the Lingala Wikipedia by using the publish button that appears. In case the article gets created by another user while you  were translating, you will see an option to save the newly published translation under your user namespace.  
# The number of published pages can be seen on the Content Translation stats page. 
Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the Content Translation talk page or through Phabricator if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool. For more information, please read the information available in the User Guide. You can also view a short screencast on how to use Content Translation. Our announcement is written only in English, and we would really appreciate if this message can be translated to reach more users of this Wikipedia. Thank you.--Runab WMF (discussion) 11 yúni 2015 à 17:14 (UTC)
thread_title:  Content Translation beta feature is now available 

message: Did you know?  
When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:
The link tool has been re-designed:  
There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages.
The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design.  Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator. 
A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase.  During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not.  The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits.  Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.    
=== Recent improvements ===
Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service.  Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation.  If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May.  All citations are now created inside a single tool.  Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (, , or ).  The cite button is now labeled with the word "" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "", for the submit button.
The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing.  It now has two separate sections:  one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages.  Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector.  (T98085)
The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor.  Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list.  Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org.  Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)
Several improvements have been made to templates.  When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "" each time they want to add another parameter.  (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "", for template parameters.  This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)
The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme.  In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars.  Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images.  If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.
=== Let's work together ===
* Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. 
* The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC).  Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker, though.  Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.  
* If your Wikivoyage, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other community wants to have VisualEditor made available by default to contributors, then please contact James Forrester. 
* If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData  for the most important citation templates on your wiki. 
*The team is planning the second VisualEditor-related "translathon" for July. Please follow this task on Phabricator for details and updates! Announcements will follow in due course.

Hi everyone.
Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.
Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.
Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

message: Hello! 
I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon.
It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor.
In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page on TranslateWiki.
The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia storeYou can choose between any short-sleeve shirt, or other items for the same value.. 
Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualifyThis means both new translations, and updates for messages in the "Outdated" tab of the translation interface.. 
If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year,  you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.
Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be confirmed in time.
You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.
You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.
Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.
We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.
A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.
How to use it, once it is enabled:
* Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital from the item about Germany
* Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua

thread_title:  Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming 

message: (Sorry for writing in English)
Hi everyone,
As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here. Before you could for example only access data about Berlin in the article about Berlin. If you want to find out more or have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access. I hope this will open up great possibilities for you and make your work easier.

You can add quotations marks before and after a title or phrase with a single click.
Select the relevant text.  Find the correct quotations marks in the special character inserter tool (marked as Ω in the toolbar).
Click the button.  VisualEditor will add the quotation marks on either side of the text you selected.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support.  They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator.  Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.   
=== Wikimania ===
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about  and the future of editing. 
Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.
For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).   
For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%).  There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).   
We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.   
=== Recent improvements ===
Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia.  The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org.  So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool.  To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.
Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. 
In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete.  VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.     
=== Future changes ===
The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link.  When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box.  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.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors.  A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term.  New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting.  You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase.  The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice  between the two editing environments.
=== Let's work together ===
* Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.  This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
* Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan  needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.  
* If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
* Please file requests for language-appropriate "" and "" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.   
* The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program. 
* The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC).  Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though.  Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.
Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page.  Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "".
The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time.  The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes.  They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator.  Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.   
=== Recent improvements ===
Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the  and  tools.  When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354)  More in-software educational features are planned.  
Links:  It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285)  The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558)  These  "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.  
Uploads:  Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing.  Click the new tab in the " " tool.  You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit.  At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license.  For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools.  You can also drag the image into the editor.  This will be available in the wikitext editor later. 
Mobile:  Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630)  Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894)  Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website.  Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers.  Now there is a new "" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools:  You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925)  There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354)  When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit.  It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming. 
On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account.  The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.
=== Future changes ===
You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor.  Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "" and "" tabs into a single "" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website.  The "" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

message: Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. 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.
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English. 
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
 
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

message: This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

thread_title:  New Wikipedia Library Accounts Available Now (December 2015) 

message: This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
* Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
* Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
* Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
* Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.
If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.
Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button.  Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.      
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to Special:Preferences and choosing the setting that you want: 
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the visual editor team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool.  Their workboard is available in Phabricator.  Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.   
=== Recent improvements ===
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing.    
The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code.  You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.  
=== Future changes ===
The single edit tab project will combine the "" and "" tabs into a single "" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website.  (T102398, T58337)  Initially, the "" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.  Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors.  Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the  tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "".   
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016:  Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.  The developers would like to know how well it works.  Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.  
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)
=== Testing opportunities ===
* Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org.  You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences.  Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in).  The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome.  The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
** ,
** , 
** , and 
** .  (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor.  None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)  
* Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

Hello, all.
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)
Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.
Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created :m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)
If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

The completion suggester beta feature will become the default at the first group of wikis on Thursday, 10 March. This initial rollout will start with some of the smaller wikis to ensure the change happens in an organized way. The remaining wikis will receive the update on Wednesday, 16 March. This update brings three major improvements to search. Improved search result ordering, a tolerance for a small number of spelling errors, and suggests fewer typos.
Since December 2015, 19,000 editors have already opted into the completion suggester beta feature. Contributors are encouraged to try out the feature ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester discussion page in any language.

message: The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas.
This will make sure 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 conduct a planned test.  This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center 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 to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches.
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 approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
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.
*There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.
No non-essential code deployments will take place.
This test was originally planned to take place on March 22.
April 19th and 21st are the new dates. 
You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org.
They will post any changes on that schedule.
There will be more notifications about this.

message: Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki, which you may already seen in the latest issue of Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to  your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

thread_title:  Compact Links coming soon to this wiki 

message: Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. 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. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.
From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, 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 User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages
The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

=== Recent changes ===
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages.  It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "" and "" tabs into a single "" tab.  It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages.  At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
=== Future changes ===
The "" button will say "".   This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems.  More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966) 
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor.  It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools.  This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016.  You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

thread_title:  Let's work together 

message: The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “” button to “” and “”. “” will be used when you create a new page. “” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.
This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.
If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “” and “”.
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 “” 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 “” 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.
Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team 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. 
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 {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “” and “”.
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Did you know?  
  
Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?   
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move.  Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown).  Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor.  They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool.  Their workboard is available in Phabricator.  You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
=== Recent changes ===
*You can now set text as small or big. 
*Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon.  Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.  A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.
*Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page.  If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.
*At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages.  Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.
*The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.  In the future, the "" button will say "".  This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems.  More information is available on Meta.
*Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing.  You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image.  Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.
=== Future changes ===
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor.  Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor.  The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools.  This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016.  You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list. 
=== Let's work together ===
* Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates?  Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor?  Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

message: I apologise that this message is in English. 
We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.
Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.
In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.
Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland () / MediaWiki message delivery (discussion) 14 novɛ́mbɛ 2016 à 00:00 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adding to the above section (Password reset) 

message: Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.
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 the visual editor 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.
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 citoid service 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.
All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor 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 opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "".
The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work 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.
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 on the feedback page.  You may write comments in any language.  Thank you.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. 
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.
Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:
* Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)
** Introduction to process and information about budget spending resolution to support it
* Update 2 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (23 December 2016)
** Start of search for Lead Architect for movement strategy process
* Update 3 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (8 January 2017)
** Plans for strategy sessions at upcoming Wikimedia Conference 2017
* Update 4 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (11 January 2017)
** Introduction of williamsworks 
* Update 5 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (2 February 2017)
** The core movement strategy team, team tracks being developed, introduction of the Community Process Steering Committee, discussions at WikiIndaba conference 2017 and the Wikimedia movement affiliates executive directors gathering in Switzerland
* Update 6 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (10 February 2017)
** Tracks A & B process prototypes and providing feedback, updates on development of all four Tracks

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:
Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.
There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own: 
Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement). 
Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.
This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?
We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.
* Find out more about the movement strategy process
* Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator
Sincerely,
Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams 18 mársi 2017 à 05:09 (UTC)

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.
The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.
The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).
We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.
Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.
The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last. 
* April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations 
* April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
* April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
* May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
* May 15–19 – Board vote checking
* May 20 – Board result announcement goal
In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:
* Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
** There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
* Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
** One position is being filled.  More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced. 
More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.
On behalf of the Election Committee,

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas.  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 conduct a planned test.  This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center 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 to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017.
On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.  
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches.  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 approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May). 
*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.
*There will be code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017.  Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.  Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

message: Wikidata description editing is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android.  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.
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 results including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.
We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities.
As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at the talk page for this project or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

message: New Page previews feature
Read this message in another language  •  
Hello,
The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable Page previews, a beta feature known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. 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.
A quick note on the implementation:
* 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 their user preferences page.
* 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.
* 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. 
You can read more about the feature and the tests we used to evaluate performance, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions on the talk page. 
Thank you, MediaWiki message delivery (discussion) 19 apríli 2017 à 16:52 (UTC)

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator.  You can find links to the work finished each week at  mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.   Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.   
=== Recent changes ===
*A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices.  The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the . 
* A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode.  You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  More features will be added to this later.  In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. 
* The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  You can request multi-column support for your wiki. 
* You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. 
* The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. 
* The  item has been moved to the top of the  menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access.  There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. 
* You can now create <chem>  tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. 
* Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. 
* The  menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) .  The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. 
* A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page.  This has been fixed.  The team are sorry for the disruption. 
* There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:  Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac.  It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K or Command+K respectively. 
=== Future changes ===
* The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool.  It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax.  You will be able to turn it on and off.  It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. 
* The kind of button used to , , and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors.  The new buttons will use OOjs UI.  The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read.  The labels will remain the same.  You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1  The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.  
* The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year.  It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors.  See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use.

message: Hello,
I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.
One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.
The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia, via the Visual Editor. 
We already asked for feedback in 2015, and collected some interesting ideas which we shared with you in this thesis. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.
We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.
You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, on this page. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE)

message: RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.  Birgit Müller (WMDE) 16 máyí 2017 à 14:44 (UTC)

message: Hello,
A quick update on the progress of enabling Page Previews (previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs. 
Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months.  We are finally ready to deploy the feature.  Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a beta feature. For more information see Page Previews. Questions can be left on the talk page in your preferred language. 
Thank you again.

message: Discussion on synced reading lists
Hello,
 The Reading Infrastructure team at the Wikimedia Foundation is developing a cross-platform reading list service for the mobile Wikipedia app. Reading lists are like bookmark folders in your web browser. 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.  
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. 
=== Background ===
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. 
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 technical RfC has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.
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.
=== Why not watchlists ===
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:
* Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
* Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions. 
** 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.
* 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.
* 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.
More information can be found on MediaWiki.org where feedback and ideas are welcome. 
Thank you

message: New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback.  The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

Did you know?
Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff.  This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "", you will have a new option.  It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page.  This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted.  Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff.  The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator.  You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
===Recent changes===
*The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices.  It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments.  They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing.  The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January.  Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor.  Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits.  More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
*The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor.  It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor.  When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs".  The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges.  
*Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. 
*The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates.  It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up.  Your wiki can have this service.  Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
===Let's work together===
*The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
*Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors.  If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
*The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  You can request multi-column support for your wiki.

Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!
Thanks!

thread_title:  Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS 

message: ()
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats).
This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

thread_title:  New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS 

message: ()
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin () group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre.  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 to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018.
On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.  
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch.  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 Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October). 
*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.
*There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018.  Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.  Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

message: This has been posted here because your wiki allows local file uploads. .
Commons will no longer allow uploads of photos, paintings, drawings, audio and video that use the GFDL license and no other license. This starts after 14 October. Textbooks, manuals and logos, diagrams and screenshots from GFDL software manuals that only use the GFDL license are still allowed. Files licensed with both GFDL and an accepted license like Creative Commons BY-SA are still allowed.
There is no time limit to move files from other projects to Commons. The licensing date is all that counts. It doesn't matter when the file was uploaded or created. Every wiki that allows local uploads should check if bots, scripts and templates that are used to move files to Commons need to be updated. Also update your local policy documentation if needed.
The decision to allow files that only have a GFDL license, or not allow them, is a decision all wikis can make for themselves. Your wiki can decide to continue allowing the files that Commons will no longer allow after 14 October. If your wiki decides to continue to allow files after 14 October that Commons will no longer allow those files should not be moved to Commons. — Alexis Jazz, distributed by Johan using MassMessage

message: Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. 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.
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 Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. 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.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page. 
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

message: The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:  
# First, sign up your group here.  
# Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group.  This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.  
# Then ask people what they think about communication processes.  We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki.  Please consider asking these five questions:
## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
# Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group.  Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

=== Recent releases ===
The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site.  The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor: 
# Section editing
#* The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
#* The team studied this with an A/B test.  This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
# Loading overlay
#* The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.
=== New and active projects ===
This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.
*Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles.  You can try this feature now.  Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
*Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
*Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks:  Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor?  We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
*Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use.  The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.
=== Looking ahead ===
* Wikimania:  Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019.  They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space.  Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
* Talk Pages:  In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

message: Hello all, 
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta. 
This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask. 
Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16 augústo 2019 à 08:03 (UTC)

message: Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October. 
How can you help?
* Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);
* Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or
* Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

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.

message: A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.
Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

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 ====
* 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 ====
* 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.

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 "".  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.

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.

thread_title:  Editing news 2020 #3 

message: 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 Abstract Wikipedia 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 User:Denny. 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 Abstract Wikipedia 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)

thread_title:  Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia 

message: 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: Max Klemm (WMDE) 6 augústo 2020 à 09:13 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre.  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 to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.
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, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
*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.
*There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020.  Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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.  Please share this information with your community.

message: 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!

message: === Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2 ===
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.

message: Hello there,
We are inviting you to participate in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2021.
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We’d be glad for you to reply to this message, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.
Please feel free to contact Organizing Team if you have any query.
Kind regards,

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 "" 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.

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.

message: 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?
* What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
* What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

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.
thread_title:  Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year 

message: 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.
thread_title:  Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities 

message: 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!
thread_title:  A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet 

message: 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!
thread_title:  Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase 

message: * What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
* How would you like to use our new sandbox?
* What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
* What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

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. SGrabarczuk (WMF) () 11 sɛtɛ́mbɛ 2021 à 00:45 (UTC)

Le conseil d'administration prépare un appel à commentaires pour les prochaines élections du conseil d'administration, du 7 janvier au 10 février 2022.
Les détails seront finalisés la semaine précédant l'appel, mais nous avons confirmé au moins deux questions qui seront posées lors de cet appel à commentaires:
* Quelle est la meilleure façon d'assurer une représentation équitable des communautés émergentes au sein du conseil?
* Quelle doit être la participation des candidat.e.s pendant l'élection?
Bien que d'autres questions puissent être ajoutées, l'équipe Stratégie et gouvernance du mouvement souhaite donner le temps aux membres de la communauté et aux affiliés de réfléchir et de préparer des idées sur les questions confirmées avant l'ouverture de l'appel. Nous nous excusons de ne pas avoir une liste complète de questions pour le moment. La liste des questions ne devrait s'allonger que d'une ou deux questions. L'intention n'est pas de submerger la communauté de demandes, mais de l'informer et de recueillir ses réactions sur ces questions importantes.
Vous souhaitez participer à l'organisation d'une conversation locale pendant cet appel ?
Contactez l'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement sur Meta, sur Telegram, ou par courriel à msgwikimedia.org.
N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations. L'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement aura un effectif réduit jusqu'au 3 janvier. Veuillez excuser tout retard de réponse pendant cette période. Nous sommes également conscients que certains membres de la communauté et affiliés sont déconnectés pendant les vacances de décembre. Nous nous excusons si notre message vous parvient pendant que vous êtes en vacances.

Hello everyone,
A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.
There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:
* A community panel on 18 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
* The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up for these conversation hours to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022.
You can comment on Meta-wiki talk pages in any language. You may also contact either team by email: msgwikimedia.org or ucocprojectwikimedia.org
Sincerely,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Hello, from March 9, several improvements around templates will become available on your wiki:

Bonjour,
Les équipes Communication interne et Stratégie et gouvernance du mouvement vous invite à discuter du Projet annuel 2022–23 de Wikimedia Foundation, un document définissant le travail à faire pour la Wikimedia Foundation.
Ces conversations publiques s’inscrivent dans la « tournée d’écoute » de la directrice générale de la Wikimedia Foundation, Maryana Iskander. 
Les conversations publiques portent sur les points suivants :
* La Stratégie 2030 du mouvement Wikimedia définit nos orientations vers la « connaissance comme service » et « l’équité des connaissances ». La Wikimedia Foundation veut définir son projet selon ces deux objectifs. Comment, selon-vous, la Wikimedia Foundation doit-elle les appliquer à notre travail ?
* La Wikimedia Foundation continue d’étudier la meilleure manière de travailler au niveau régional. Notre régionalisation s’est accentuée dans des domaines tels que les subventions, les nouvelles fonctionnalités et les consultations communautaires. Qu’est-ce qui fonctionne bien ? Qu’est-ce que nous pouvons améliorer ?
* Tout le monde peut contribuer au processus de la Stratégie du mouvement. Mettons en commun nos activités, idées, demandes et les leçons que nous avons appris. Comment la Wikimedia Foundation peut-elle soutenir davantage les bénévoles et organisations affiliées qui travaillent sur la Stratégie du mouvement ?
Vous pouvez consulter le calendrier des visioconférences sur Meta-Wiki.
Les informations seront disponibles dans plusieurs langues. Chaque visioconférence sera ouverte à toutes celles-et-ceux qui le souhaitent. Une interprétation en direct sera disponible pour certaines visioconférences.

Le comité des Affaires Communautaires du conseil d'administration de la Wikimedia Foundation souhaite remercier tous ceux et celles qui ont participé au vote de la communauté sur les directives d'application du Code de Conduite Universel (UCoC). 
Le groupe de scrutateurs bénévoles a terminé la vérification de l'exactitude du vote et a indiqué que le nombre total de votes reçus était de 2 283. Sur les 2 283 votes reçus, un total de 1 338 (58,6 %) membres de la communauté ont voté pour les directives d'application et un total de 945 (41,4 %) membres de la communauté ont voté contre. En outre, 658 participants ont laissé des commentaires, dont 77 % étaient rédigés en anglais.
Nous reconnaissons et apprécions la passion et l'engagement dont les membres de la communauté ont fait preuve pour créer une culture sûre et accueillante qui met fin aux comportements hostiles et toxiques, soutient les personnes visées par ces comportements et encourage les personnes de bonne foi à être productives sur les projets Wikimedia. 
Même à ce stade où le processus n'est pas encore achevé, cela est évident dans les commentaires reçus. Bien que les directives d'application aient atteint le seuil de soutien nécessaire pour que le conseil d'administration les examine, nous avons encouragé les électeurs, quel que soit leur vote, à faire part de leurs commentaires sur les éléments des directives d'application qui, selon eux, devaient être modifiés ou corrigés, ainsi que sur les raisons de ces modifications, au cas où il semblerait judicieux de lancer une nouvelle série de modifications qui répondraient aux préoccupations de la communauté. 
Le personnel de la Fondation qui a passé en revue les commentaires, nous a informés de certains des thèmes émergents, et en conséquence, nous avons décidé, en tant que Comité des Affaires Communautaires, de demander à la Fondation de reconvoquer le comité de rédaction et d'entreprendre un autre engagement communautaire pour affiner les directives d'application sur la base des commentaires de la communauté reçus lors du vote qui vient de se terminer. 
Pour plus de clarté, ces commentaires ont été regroupés en 4 sections comme suit :
# Identifier le type, le but et l'applicabilité de la formation ;
# Simplifier la langue pour faciliter la traduction et la compréhension par les non-experts ;
# Explorer le concept d'affirmation, y compris ses avantages et ses inconvénients ;
# Revoir les rôles contradictoires de la vie privée/protection des victimes et du droit d'être entendu.
D'autres questions peuvent émerger au cours des conversations, et en particulier au fur et à mesure de l'évolution du projet de directives d'application, mais nous considérons que ce sont les principaux domaines de préoccupation des électeurs, électrices et nous demandons au personnel de faciliter l'examen de ces questions. Après un engagement plus poussé, la Fondation devrait organiser à nouveau le vote de la communauté pour évaluer le projet de directives d'application remanié afin de voir si le nouveau document est alors prêt pour sa ratification officielle.
De plus, nous sommes conscients des préoccupations relatives à la note 3.1 du Code de Conduite Universel. Nous demandons à la Fondation de faciliter la révision de cette note afin de s'assurer que le texte répond à ses objectifs de soutien à une communauté sûre et inclusive, sans attendre la révision prévue de l'ensemble du texte à la fin de l'année.
Encore une fois, nous remercions toutes celles et tous ceux qui ont participé, qui ont réfléchi à ces enjeux cruciaux et difficiles et qui ont contribué à de meilleures approches dans l'ensemble du mouvement pour bien travailler ensemble.
Bien à vous,
Rosie

message: Bonjour,
L'équipe Stratégie et gouvernance du mouvement recherche des membres de la communauté pour servir de bénévoles des élections lors de la prochaine élection du conseil d'administration.
Le programme de bénévoles des élections a commencé en 2021 lors de l'élection du conseil d'administration de la Wikimedia Foundation. Ce programme s'est avéré être un succès. Avec l'aide des bénévoles des élections, nous avons pu augmenter la sensibilisation et la participation à l'élection de 1 753 électeurs par rapport à 2017.  Le taux de participation global était de 10,13 %, soit 1,1 point de pourcentage de plus, et 214 wikis étaient représentés lors de l'élection. 
Mais un total de 74 wikis qui n'ont pas participé en 2017 ont voté à l'élection de 2021. Pouvez-vous aider à améliorer la participation lors des élections de cette année ?
Les bénévoles des élections apporteront leur aide dans les domaines suivants :
* Traduire des messages courts et annoncer le processus électoral en cours dans les canaux communautaires.
* Facultatif : Suivre les canaux de communication communautaires pour recueillir les commentaires et les questions de la communauté
Les bénévoles doivent :
* Maintenir la politique de l'espace convivial pendant les conversations et les événements.
* Présenter les directives et les informations de vote à la communauté de manière neutre.
Voulez-vous être un bénévole électoral et faire en sorte que votre communauté soit représentée lors du vote ? Inscrivez-vous sur cette page Meta-wiki pour recevoir des mises à jour. Vous pouvez utiliser la page de discussions pour toute question concernant les traductions.

message: Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to inform you that the 2022 edition of Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign is coming up in July.
This is a formal invitation to invite individuals and communities to join the campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and contextual images. 
The campaign will run from July 1 to August  31, 2022 and several communities and Wikimedia Affiliates have already indicated interest to organize the campaign in their localities. Please find your community or community closer to you to participate: WPWP2022 Campaign: Participating Communities.
The campaign primarily aims to promote using images from Wikimedia Commons to enrich Wikipedia articles that are lacking them. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years. In this third edition of the campaign, eligibility criteria have been revised based on feedback and campaign Evaluation Reports of the previous editions. Please find more details about these changes and our FAQ here on Meta-Wiki
For more information, please visit the campaign page on Meta-Wiki.
Best,

message: Hello Friends!
Apologies as this message is not in your native language . 
The WMF Language team plans to introduce a machine translation (MT) support for the Content Translation in Lingala Wikipedia called FLORES. This means that you can choose to use FLORES machine translation when translating Wikipedia articles to Lingala using the Content Translation tool.
 
The FLORES Machine Translation is provided by an AI research team at Meta through a free for use API key that allows the Content Translation to access the service on the FLORES server for an evaluation trial period. This MT will be set as default in your Wikipedia, but you can choose not to use it by selecting  "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.
 
The Wikimedia Foundation has worked out an agreement that allows the use of FLORES without compromising Wikipedia’s policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user, and brand representation. You can find more information about the FLORES Machine translation on this page.
 
Please note that the use of the FLORES MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:
*use it once it is deployed to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
*provide feedback about our plans, its quality once deployed and ask any questions you might have about this addition.
 
We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content Translations tool towards having better quality articles in Lingala Wikipedia.
 
Thank you!

Bonjour,
Après le vote de la communauté sur les directives d'application de l'UCoC en mars, le Comité des affaires communautaires (CAC) du Conseil a demandé que plusieurs points des directives soient revus pour être améliorés avant que le Conseil ne procède à son examen final. Ces points ont été identifiés sur la base des discussions communautaires et des commentaires fournis lors du vote. Le CAC a également demandé la révision de la note controversée de la section 3.1 de l'UCoC.
Une fois de plus, un grand merci à toutes les personnes qui ont voté, en particulier à celles qui ont fait des commentaires constructifs et des remarques !  L'équipe travaille avec le conseil d'administration pour établir un calendrier pour ce travail, et le communiquera le mois prochain. 
Les membres des deux précédents comités de rédaction de l'UCoC ont généreusement offert leur temps pour contribuer à l'amélioration des directives. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur eux et leur travail ici, et lire les résumés de leurs réunions hebdomadaires de cette année. 
Les membres de la communauté ont fait de nombreux commentaires précieux lors du vote et dans d'autres conversations. Étant donné la taille et la diversité de la communauté Wikimedia, il y a encore plus de voix qui peuvent donner des idées sur la façon d'améliorer les directives d'application et ajouter des idées encore plus précieuses au processus. Afin d'aider le comité de révision à identifier les améliorations à apporter, nous vous demandons de répondre à plusieurs questions qui seront soumises à l'examen du comité. Visitez les pages Meta-wiki (Discussions sur la révision des directives d'application, Discussions sur la révision du texte de l'UcoC) pour faire part de vos idées au comité. Il est très important que les points de vue des différentes communautés soient entendus avant que le comité ne commence à rédiger des propositions de révision.

message: Friends!
Apologies as this message is not in your native language, .
The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section and Content translation tool in Lingala Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test the new   Section Translation tool so you can:
*Give us your feedback
*Ask us questions
*Tell us how to improve it
Below is background information about the tools, why we have chosen to enable them in your Wikipedia and how you can test the Section translation tool.
Background information
Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. However, the tool is not out of beta in Lingala Wikipedia, limiting the discoverability of the tool and its use and blocking the enablement of the Section translation in your Wikipedia
Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:
*Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones
*Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device
We plan to enable the tools on Lingala Wikipedia in the coming week if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page
Try the Section translation tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Lingala Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://ln.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.
Provide feedback
Please provide feedback about Section translation on the project talk page. We want to  hear about your impressions on
*The section translation tool
*What do you think about our plans to enable it
*Your ideas for improving the tool
Thanks and we look forward to your feedback and questions.

===Content and Section Translation tool enabled in Lingala Wikipedia===
 Friends!
The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we have enabled the Section translation and Content translation tools in Lingala Wikipedia. 
 
The Content translation tool can be discovered by users through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation can disable it from their preferences. Also, with the Section translation tool, you can start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Lingala. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for lingála. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.
We know that these tools will help translators in your community to add content using any device with ease. Content created with the Content and Section Translation tool will be marked with the "contenttranslation" and “sectiontranslaiton” tag, respectively, for the community to review.

thread_title:  Enabling Content and Section translation tool in Lingala Wikipedia 

message: Friends!
The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we have enabled the Section translation and Content translation tools in Lingala Wikipedia. 
 
The Content translation tool can be discovered by users through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation can disable it from their preferences. Also, with the Section translation tool, you can start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Lingala. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for lingála. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.
We know that these tools will help translators in your community to add content using any device with ease. Content created with the Content and Section Translation tool will be marked with the "contenttranslation" and “sectiontranslaiton” tag, respectively, for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tools and reviewing the content created with it. 
So, enjoy the tools and provide feedback on improving it.
 
Thank you!

Bonjour,
Dans le cadre des élections 2022 du conseil d'administration, des volontaires sont invités à proposer des déclarations à utiliser dans la boussole électorale.
Une boussole électorale est un outil destiné à aider les électrices et les électeurs à choisir les candidates et les candidats qui correspondent le mieux à leurs convictions et à leurs opinions. Les membres de la communauté proposeront des déclarations auxquelles les candidates et les candidats devront répondre en utilisant une échelle de Lickert (d'accord/neutre/désaccord). Les réponses des candidats aux déclarations seront chargées dans l'outil Boussole électorale. Les électrices et électeurs utiliseront l'outil en entrant leur réponse aux déclarations (d'accord/désaccord/neutre). Les résultats montreront les candidates et les candidats qui correspondent le mieux aux croyances et aux opinions de l'électeur ou de l'électrice.
Pour proposer une déclaration, il suffit d'accéder à cette page Meta-wiki.
Les 15 meilleures déclarations seront sélectionnées par le comité des élections au début du mois d'août.
Voici le calendrier :
* Du 8 au 20 juillet : les volontaires proposent des déclarations pour la boussole électorale.
* Du 21 au 22 juillet : le comité des élections vérifie que les déclarations sont claires et supprime les déclarations hors sujet.
* Du 23 juillet au 1er août : les volontaires votent les déclarations.
* Du 2 au 4 août : le comité des élections sélectionne les 15 meilleures déclarations.
* Du 5 au 12 août : les candidates et candidats se positionnent par rapport aux déclarations.
* 15 août : ouverture de la boussole électorale afin que les électrices et électeurs puissent l'utiliser pour orienter leur décision de vote.
Le comité des élections supervisera le processus, avec le soutien de l'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement. Elle vérifiera que les déclarations sont claires, qu'il n'y a pas de doublons, pas de fautes de frappe, etc.
Bien à vous,
L'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement

Bonjour,
 
Je vous informe aujourd'hui d'un changement dans le calendrier du vote pour l'élection du conseil d'administration. 
 
Comme beaucoup d'entre vous le savent déjà, nous proposons cette année une boussole électorale pour aider les électeurs et électrices à identifier le positionnement des personnes qui se sont portées candidates sur certains sujets clés. Plusieurs d'entre elles ont demandé une extension de la limite du nombre de caractères pour leurs réponses développant leurs positions, et le comité des élections a estimé que leur raisonnement était conforme aux objectifs d'un processus électoral juste et équitable.  
 
Pour garantir que les déclarations/affirmations les plus longues puissent être traduites à temps pour l'élection, le comité des élections et le groupe de travail pour la sélection des membres du conseil d'administration ont décidé de reporter d'une semaine l'ouverture du vote de l'élection du conseil d'administration - une période proposée comme idéale par l'équipe qui soutient l'élection. 
 
Bien que l'on ne s'attende pas à ce que tout le monde veuille utiliser la boussole électorale pour éclairer sa décision de vote, le comité des élections a estimé qu'il était plus approprié d'ouvrir la période de vote avec des traductions essentielles que les membres de la communauté, quelle que soit leur langue, pourront utiliser s'ils souhaitent prendre cette décision importante.
 
Le vote sera ouvert le 23 août à 00:00 UTC et se terminera le 6 septembre à 23:59 UTC.
Bien à vous,
Matanya, de la part du comité des élections,

thread_title:  Version révisée des directives d’application du code de conduite universel (UCoC) 

message: Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2022 scrolled.png|Vector 2022
=== About the skin ===
[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
* The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
=== How can editors change and customize this skin? ===
It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own. 
=== Our plan ===
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
Request for more time to discuss the change

=== L'habillage Vector 2022 par défaut dans deux semaines ? ===
,
je vous écris pour le compte de l'Équipe Web de la Fondation Wikimédia. Dans deux semaines, nous aimerions que Vector 2022 devienne l'habillage par défaut sur ce wiki.
Nous y travaillons depuis trois ans. Jusqu'à présent, il a été adopté par défaut sur plus de 30 wikis, y compris des projets frères, qui représentent plus d'un milliard d'accès aux pages par mois. En moyenne, 87 % des utilisateurs actifs connectés de ces wikis utilisent Vector 2022.
Il deviendrait l'habillage par défaut pour tous les utilisateurs non connectés, ainsi que pour tous les utilisateurs connectés qui actuellement utilisent Vector Legacy. Les utilisateurs connectés peuvent à tout moment adopter n'importe quel autre habillage. Aucun changement est prévu pour les utilisateurs de ces habillages.

Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2022 scrolled.png|Vector 2022
=== À propos de l'interface ===
[Pourquoi un changement est-il nécessaire] L'actuelle interface par défaut répondait aux attentes des lecteurs et des contributeurs tels qu'ils étaient il y a 13 ans. Depuis lors, de nouveaux utilisateurs ont commencé à utiliser les projets Wikimédia.  L'ancienne interface Vector ne répond pas à leurs attentes.
[But] Le but visé par le nouvel habillage est de rendre l'interface plus accueillante et confortable pour les lecteurs, et plus utile pour les utilisateurs expérimentés. Il s'inspire des demandes préalables, de la Consultation des souhaits de la communauté, des gadgets et des scripts. Ce travail a permis à notre code de respecter les standards et d'améliorer tous les autres habillages. Nous avons réduit de 75 % le code PHP dans les habillages déployés par la Wikimédia. Le projet s'est également attaché à faciliter la prise en charge des gadgets et l'utilisation des API.
[Changements et résultats des tests] L'habillage introduit une série de changements qui améliorent la lisibilité et l'utilisabilité. Le nouvel habillage ne supprime aucune des fonctionnalités actuellement disponibles sur l'ancien Vector.
* L'entête figé permet de trouver plus facilement les outils que les contributeurs utilisent couramment. Il diminue de 16 % le défilement vers le haut de la page.
* Le nouveau sommaire facilite la navigation entre les diverses sections. Les lecteurs et les contributeurs sont passé d'une section à l'autre de la page 50 % plus souvent qu'avec l'ancien sommaire. L'apparence est également un peu différente sur les pages de discussion.
* La nouvelle barre de recherche est plus facile à trouver et facilite la découverte du résultat de la recherche correct à partir d'une liste. Cela a augmenté le nombre de recherches lancées de 30 % sur les wikis que nous avons testés.
* L'habillage n'affecte pas négativement les pages visitées, les taux d'édition ou la création de comptes. Il est prouvé que les communautés partenaires ont connu une augmentation du nombre de pages visitées et de comptes créés.
[Essayez-le] Essayez le nouvel habillage, en allant dans l'onglet Apparence de vos préférences et en sélectionnant Vector 2022 dans la liste des habillages.
=== Comment les utilisateurs peuvent-ils modifier et personnaliser cet habillage ? ===
Il est possible de configurer et personnaliser nos changements. Nous fournissons le support aux volontaires qui créent des nouveaux gadgets et scripts utilisateur. Consultez notre dépôt pour la liste des personnalisations actuellement disponibles, ou ajoutez les vôtres. 
=== Notre plan ===
Si aucun problème majeur n'est soulevé, nous prévoyons le déploiement dans le courant de la semaine du 3 octobre 2022. Si votre communauté souhaite demander plus de temps pour discuter les changements, cliquez sur le bouton et écrivez-nous. On peut adapter le calendrier.
Demande de temps supplémentairepour discuter du changement
Si vous souhaitez demander quoi que ce soit à notre équipe, si vous avez des questions, des remarques ou des idées supplémentaires, notifiez-moi ci-dessous ou écrivez sur la page de discussion du projet. Nous serons ravis de vous répondre ! Vous pouvez également consulter notre Foire aux questions.

* Le nouveau sommaire facilite la navigation entre les diverses sections. Les lecteurs et les contributeurs sont passé d'une section à l'autre de la page 50 % plus souvent qu'avec l'ancien sommaire. L'apparence est également un peu différente sur les pages de discussion.
* La nouvelle barre de recherche est plus facile à trouver et facilite la découverte du résultat de la recherche correct à partir d'une liste. Cela a augmenté le nombre de recherches lancées de 30 % sur les wikis que nous avons testés.
* L'habillage n'affecte pas négativement les pages visitées, les taux d'édition ou la création de comptes. Il est prouvé que les communautés partenaires ont connu une augmentation du nombre de pages visitées et de comptes créés.

message: Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the Web team working on the new skin, Vector 2022.
We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment. We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to reach out to us and we can help make one.
We invite you to get involved in the project. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 19 ɔkɔtɔ́bɛ 2022 à 23:24 (UTC)

Bonjour, 
Lors de la "Wikimedia Summit 2022", le comité de rédaction de la charte du mouvement (MCDC) a présenté la première ébauche de la Charte, donnant un aperçu de la direction de son travail futur, et de la Charte elle-même. Le MCDC a ensuite intégré les premières réactions recueillies lors du Sommet. Avant de procéder à la rédaction de la Charte pour l'ensemble du Mouvement, le MCDC souhaite interagir avec les membres de la communauté et recueillir leurs commentaires sur les ébauches des trois sections : Préambule, Valeurs et principes, et Rôles et responsabilités (déclaration d'intentions). Les projets de la Charte du mouvement seront disponibles sur la page Meta ici le 14 novembre 2022. La période de consultation de la communauté sur la Charte du Mouvement aura lieu du 20 novembre au 18 décembre 2022. Pour en savoir plus. 
Dans le but de s'assurer que les membres de la communauté sont bien informés pour participer pleinement aux conversations et qu'ils sont en mesure d'apporter leur point de vue sur la Charte du mouvement, trois sessions "Questions-réponses sur la Charte du Mouvement" ont été programmées dans différents fuseaux horaires. Tous les membres du Mouvement Wikimedia sont invités à participer à ces conversations. L'objectif est d'en savoir plus sur la Charte du mouvement - son but, son objectif, pourquoi elle est importante et comment elle a un impact sur votre communauté. Les membres du MCDC participeront à ces sessions pour répondre à vos questions et entendre les commentaires de la communauté.     
La présentation de la session est enregistrée et partagée par la suite. Aucun enregistrement des conversations ne sera fait. Vous trouverez ci-dessous la liste des sessions prévues : 
* Asie/Pacifique : le 4 novembre 2022 à 09:00 UTC (voir dans votre fuseau horaire). L'interprétation est disponible en chinois et en japonais.   
* Europe/MENA/Afrique subsaharienne : 12 novembre 2022 à 15h00 UTC (voir dans votre fuseau horaire). L'interprétation est disponible en arabe, français et russe.  
* Amérique du Nord et du Sud/ Europe de l'Ouest : 12 novembre 2022 à 15h00 UTC (voir dans votre fuseau horaire). L'interprétation est disponible en espagnol et en portugais. 
Vous trouverez plus de détails sur la page Meta-wiki ; les liens Zoom seront partagés 48 heures avant le debut de la session.
Appel aux Ambassadeurs de la Charte du mouvement.
Les individus ou les groupes de toutes les communautés qui souhaitent contribuer à l'inclusion et à l'organisation des conversations sur la Charte du Mouvement dans leurs communautés sont encouragés à devenir des Ambassadeurs de la Charte du Mouvement (MC Ambassadors). Les Ambassadeurs mèneront leurs propres activités et recevront un soutien financier pour permettre l'organisation des conversations dans leurs propres langues. Les facilitateurs régionaux de l'équipe Stratégie et Gouvernance du Mouvement sont disponibles pour aider les candidats à obtenir une subvention. Si vous êtes intéressé, veuillez vous inscrire ici.

Bonjour,
À la mi-janvier 2023, les directives d'application du Code de conduite universel feront l'objet d'un deuxième vote de ratification à l'échelle de la communauté. Cela fait suite au vote de mars 2022, qui a abouti à ce qu'une majorité d'électeurs soutienne les directives d'application. Lors de la période du vote, les participants ont aidé à mettre en évidence des préoccupations importantes de la communauté. Le comité des affaires communautaires du Conseil d'administration de la fondation Wikimédia a demandé que ces sujets de préoccupation soient examinés.
Le comité de révision, dirigé par des bénévoles, a travaillé dur pour examiner les commentaires de la communauté et apporter des modifications. Il a mis à jour les sujets de préoccupation, tels que les exigences de formation et d'affirmation, la confidentialité et la transparence du processus, ainsi que la lisibilité et la traduisibilité du document.
Les directives d'application révisées peuvent être consultées ici, et une comparaison des modifications peut être lue sur ce lien.
Comment voter ?
Le vote sera ouvert à compter du 17 janvier 2023. Cette page sur Méta-wiki donne des informations sur la manière de voter en utilisant SecurePoll.
Qui peut voter ?
Les conditions d'éligibilité pour ce vote sont les mêmes que pour les élections du Conseil d'administration de la fondation Wikimédia. Veuillez consulter la page d'information des électeurs pour avoir plus de détails sur l'éligibilité. Si vous êtes un électeur éligible, vous pouvez utiliser votre compte Wikimédia pour accéder au serveur de vote.
Que se passe-t-il après le vote? 
Les votes seront scrutés par un groupe indépendant de volontaires, et les résultats seront publiés sur Wikimedia-l, le Forum de la Stratégie du Mouvement, Diff et sur Méta-wiki. Les électeurs pourront à nouveau voter et partager leurs préoccupations concernant les directives. Le conseil d'administration examinera les niveaux de soutien et les préoccupations soulevées lorsqu'il étudiera comment les directives d'application devraient être ratifiées ou développées davantage.

message: !
La prochaine semaine, l'équipe Web de la Fondation Wikimédia déplacera certains liens de la barre latérale vers la droite de l'écran.
Il sera ainsi plus facile d'utiliser de manière intuitive tous les liens et les outils de notre interface. Avec la barre latérale plus courte, le sommaire apparaîtra à son tour un peu plus en haut de l'écran. Ce dernier changement profitera surtout  aux contributeurs, car les lecteurs utilisent beaucoup plus rarement le menu de gauche.
Pourquoi nous changeons cela
Actuellement, notre interface ne fait pas de distinction entre les liens de navigation du wiki et les outils de la page. « Accueil », « Article au hasard » et « Modifications récentes » font partie du premier groupe. « Pages liées », « Suivi des pages liées », « Citer cette page » appartiennent au deuxième. Ce mélange est déroutant pour les nouveaux lecteurs. Les nouveaux contributeurs ne savent pas ce que fait chaque lien de même. Le mélange de ces groupes démotive les gens qui seraient spontanément disposés à découvrir ces outils.
Ce changement répond également à la question de l'emplacement du sommaire. Certains d'entre vous nous avaient indiqué que le sommaire apparaissant sous la barre latérale, était placé trop bas dans la page. Après ce changement, la barre latérale se présentera plus courte et cela permettra d'afficher le sommaire plus en haut sur la page. En outre, ce changement réduira l'espace blanc de la page, en utilisant une plus grande partie de l'espace pour l'affichage des outils.
Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur la fonctionnalité des outils de la page et le projet des Améliorations du bureau sur MediaWiki.org.
Compatibilité des gadgets
Certains gadgets et scripts utilisateur peuvent nécessiter une mise à jour ou devenir redondants ou obsolètes. Nous fournissons une assistance aux utilisateurs qui souhaitent maintenir la compatibilité. Veuillez consulter cette section de notre documentation pour plus d'informations sur la compatibilité des gadgets.

thread_title:  Interface bureau : un nouveau changement en vue 

message: Bonjour,
Le récent vote communautaire sur les directives d'application révisées du Code de conduite Universel a été comptabilisé et examiné. Merci à tous ceux qui y ont participé.
Après que 3097 électeurs de 146 communautés Wikimédia ont voté, les résultats sont de 76% en faveur des directives d'application et 24% contre. Les statistiques sur le vote sont disponibles. Un résumé plus détaillé des commentaires soumis lors du vote sera publié prochainement.
Maintenant, les résultats et les commentaires recueillis lors de ce vote seront soumis au conseil d'administration pour être examinés. On s'attend actuellement à ce que le processus d'examen du conseil d'administration se termine en mars 2023. Nous vous tiendrons au courant lorsque celui-ci sera terminé.

message: Bonjour,
avec l'habillage Vector 2022 par défaut, le liens interlangues se trouvent tout en bas de la page d'accueil, voir pourquoi.
Si vous voulez les langues en haut, votre communauté est invitée à en discuter avant, pour trouver un accord sur le changement à apporter : voir comment les faire apparaître en haut en ayant un « titre » en page d'accueil, avec ou sans texte, au choix. Je copie ci-dessous un passage de la FAQ qui pourrait vous intéresser, avec quelques ajouts :
* Le « titre » s'affichera sur Vector 2010, Minerva, Timeless et Vector 2022. Ne sera pas visible sur Monobook.
* Le « titre » peut être configuré en modifiant MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin pour les utilisateurs connectés et MediaWiki:Mainpage-title pour les utilisateurs non connectés. Pour les utilisateurs connectés sur mobile, il faudra modifier MediaWiki:wikimedia-mobile-mainpage-title-loggedin. Voir les détails qui concernent les paramètres de la page d'accueil.
* Testez à quoi ressemble la page d'accueil et comment elle fonctionne avec le bouton en haut de la page, en ajoutant le paramètre ?vectorlanguageinmainpageheader=1 à la fin de l'URL. La page d'accueil de la Wikipédia en basque affiche une phrase de bienvenue dans le titre. C'est le choix de la Wikipédia en français aussi, qui attend ce changement. Vous pouvez également voir l'exemple de la Wikipédia en islandais, qui n'a pas de « titre » configuré, donc seul le bouton apparaît.
* Notifiez-moi (ou contactez l'équipe Web) pour demander le déplacement du bouton des langues vers le haut. L'Équipe Web demandera la modification des paramètres de votre wiki. Si vous préférez, vous pouvez ouvrir directement une tâche sur Phabricator. Dans le cas votre choix se porte sur le message de bienvenue, il suffit d'ajouter votre demande avec le lien de la discussion dans le ticket T325362. Une fois le changement effectué, le bouton sera visible en haut de la page avec Vector 2022. Avec d'autres habillages, la liste des liens des langues s'affichera à l'emplacement par défaut, qui est différent pour chaque habillage.

De février à avril, nous recueillerons vos commentaires sur un projet de proposition. Le projet sera traduit en plusieurs langues, les commentaires écrits étant acceptés dans toutes les langues.
Cette mise à jour fait suite à plusieurs éléments :
* Mise en œuvre du code de conduite universel
* Mise à jour du texte du projet vers la licence Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0
* Proposition pour une meilleure prise en compte de l'édition payante non divulguée
* Mise en conformité de nos conditions générales avec les lois actuelles et récemment adoptées qui affectent la Fondation, notamment la loi européenne sur les services numériques.
Dans ce cadre, deux conversations seront organisées, la première le 2 mars, la seconde le 4 avril.

La Fondation Wikimedia teste le basculement entre ses centres de données primaire et secondaire. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe. Pour être certain que tout fonctionne, le département Technologie de Wikimedia doit planifier un test. Ce test permettra de vérifier qu’il est possible de basculer d’un centre de données à un autre. Pour cela, beaucoup d’équipes doivent se préparer pour le test et être prêtes à réparer tout problème imprévu. 
Le trafic sera basculé le . Le test débutera à   (10:00 au Québec, 14:00 en Afrique de l'Ouest, 15:00 en Europe continentale et en Afrique centrale).
Malheureusement, à cause de certaines limites de MediaWiki, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur. 
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
*Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le .
*Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences :
*Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
* Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains code particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessite.
* GitLab sera indisponible durant 90 minutes environ.
Ce projet peut être remis à plus tard en cas de nécessité.  Vous pouvez consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier. Il y aura d’autres annonces à propos de cet événement. Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération. Merci de partager ces informations avec votre communauté.

Le vote sur les directives d'application en janvier 2023 a montré une approbation majoritaire de ces directives. 369 commentaires ont été reçus. Un résumé détaillé de ces commentaires sera publié sous peu. Un peu plus de trois mille (3097) électeurs ont voté. 76% ont approuvé les directives d'application. Vous pouvez consulter les statistiques de vote sur Meta-wiki.
Puisque le soutien a augmenté, cela signifie pour le conseil d'administration que la version actuelle a résolu certains des problèmes signalés lors du dernier examen en 2022. Le conseil d'administration a voté pour la ratification des directives d'application. La peut être trouvée sur le wiki de la Fondation.

message: Bonjour à toutes et tous,
La dernière semaine nous avons introduit le menu des Outils de la page pour les utilisateurs non connectés. Pour les utilisateurs connectés, il est disponible depuis janvier 2023.
Le menu permet de séparer les outils qui concernent le wiki en général des outils liés à une page spécifique. Dans le premier groupe on trouve, par exemple, « Accueil » et « Page au hasard ». Dans le deuxième groupe il y a, par exemple, « Pages liées » et « Suivi des pages liées ». Le nouveau menu rassemble les outils spécifiques à la page dans une seule liste. Avant, certains de ces liens étaient soit dans le menu principale (la barre latérale) soit dans le More Menu (à côté de l'Historique). Notre objectif est de permettre aux nouveaux lecteurs et rédacteurs de comprendre plus facilement la fonction de ces liens.
Le menu peut également être épinglé et désépinglé selon les nécessités des utilisateurs. Il est figé aussi, c'est à dire qu'il reste en place quand on fait défiler la page vers le bas. En outre, pour les utilisateurs connectés, le menu est persistant. Cela signifie qu'ils voient le menu dans l'état qu'ils ont choisi, épinglé ou pas, même en actualisant la page ou en ouvrant une nouvelle. Cependant, pour les utilisateurs non connectés il n'est pas persistant. Nous espérons ajouter cette fonctionnalité à l'avenir.
Avantage supplémentaire amené par ce changement, le sommaire s'affiche plus en haut sur la page. Aujourd'hui, il faut faire défiler vers le bas plus rarement pour voir le sommaire. C'était l'une des préoccupations que nous avons entendues ces derniers jours et nous espérons que cela y répondra.

La Fondation Wikimedia teste la bascule entre ses centres de données primaires et de secours. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe. Pour être certain que tout fonctionne, le département Technologie de Wikimedia doit procéder à un test planifié. Ce test permettra de vérifier qu’il est possible de basculer d’un centre de données à un autre. Cela nécessite des équipes en nombre, pour préparer le test et être prêtes à réparer tout problème imprévu. 
Le trafic sera basculé le . Le test débutera à   (10:00 au Québec, 14:00 en Afrique de l'Ouest, 15:00 en Europe continentale et en Afrique centrale).
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de MediaWiki, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur. 
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
*Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le .
*Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences :
*Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
* Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains code particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.
* GitLab sera indisponible durant environ 90 minutes.
Ce projet pourra être reporté si nécessaire.  Vous pouvez consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier. Il y aura d’autres annonces à propos de cet événement. Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération. Merci de partager ces informations avec votre communauté.

Vos commentaires, questions et réflexions permettront d’améliorer le contenu final avant que le Conseil d’administration de la Fondation n’examine le plan et le budget en juin.
Des conversations avec interprétation en français sont également prévues avec la communauté et d’autres parties prenantes et je profite de cette occasion pour vous inviter en particulier à celle qui aura lieu le 27 avril, de 16h à 17h30 UTC (Afrique, Europe centrale et orientale, Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord). Vous êtes toutefois invités à participer à n’importe quel autre appel en direct qui vous conviendrait.

Hello,
As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
* Community members in good standing
* Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
* Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
* Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
* Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
* Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocprojectwikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Dans le cadre du projet des Améliorations de l'interface pour ordinateur de bureau, l'équipe Web effectuera un nouveau test A/B. Ce test débutera dans les deux prochaines semaines et durera deux semaines entières. Il sera réalisé sur les Wikipédias en anglais, farsi, français, hébreu, coréen, portugais, serbe, thaï, turc et vietnamien.
La moitié des utilisateurs d'ordinateurs de bureau connectés verront une version qui montre les régions du gabarit séparées plus clairement. Cette version inclura des contours et des fonds gris. Après deux semaines, tout le monde verra à nouveau l'interface actuelle sur fond blanc. L'équipe Web analysera les données d'usage des deux versions et prendrons une décision sur les prochaines étapes en juillet.
Pour plus d'information lisez  l'annonce complète sur la page du projet. N'hésitez pas à laisser des commentaires sur la page de discussion du projet.

message: Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to inform you that the 2023 edition of Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign is coming up in July.
This is a formal invitation to invite individuals and communities to join the campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and other relevant media files.
If you're interested in participating, please find your community or community closer to you to participate from the Participating Communities page. If you're organizer, please add your community or Affiliate to the page.
The campaign primarily aims to promote using images from Wikimedia Commons to enrich Wikipedia articles.

In this edition of the campaign, eligibility criteria have been revised based on feedback and campaign Evaluation Reports of the previous editions. Please find more details about these changes and our FAQ on Meta-Wiki
For more information, please visit the campaign page on Meta-Wiki.
Kind regards,

Le comité de rédaction de la Charte du Mouvement a publié de nouveaux projets de chapitres de la Charte du Mouvement. Le chapitre Conseil mondial est disponible dès maintenant et celui sur les Hubs sera publié d'ici à la fin du mois de juillet.  Vous êtes invités à les examiner et à faire vos retours et commentaires.
Comment y participer ?
Créer une Charte pour notre Mouvement signifie que nous avons besoin de l'avis du plus grand nombre. Tous les membres de la communauté Wikimedia sont invités à s'engager activement dans le processus de rédaction du contenu de la Charte en partageant leurs commentaires sur cette page Meta-wiki ou en participant aux différentes conversations organisées.
Nous vous invitons à la conversation Francophone qui aura lieu le vendredi 28 juillet à 18h (en France), 16h UTC. Plus de détails sur cette page Meta-Wiki
Les membres de la communauté, en particulier ceux des communautés Wikimedia qui manquent de ressources, sont encouragés à solliciter des subventions avant le 30 juillet. Ces subventions peuvent être utilisées pour organiser des conversations, telles que des sessions d'information pour familiariser les membres de leurs communautés avec les chapitres de la Charte.

Bonjour à tous,
Nous sommes heureux de partager avec vous la prochaine étape du travail sur le code de conduite universel. La version préliminaire de la charte du comité de coordination du code de conduite universel (U4C) est maintenant prête à être examinée. 
Les directives d'application nécessitent la création d'un comité de construction pour rédiger une charte décrivant les procédures et les détails d'un comité mondial appelé le comité de coordination du code de conduite universel (U4C). Au cours des derniers mois, le comité de construction U4C a travaillé en groupe pour discuter et rédiger cette charte. Le comité de construction U4C accueille les commentaires sur cette version de charte jusqu'au 22 septembre 2023. Après cette date, le comité de construction U4C révisera la charte si nécessaire et un vote communautaire s'ouvrira peu de temps après.
Rejoignez la discussion pendant les heures de conversation ou sur Méta-wiki.

Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form. 
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.
The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.
For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Apologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
* The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
* Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
* Compensation is available.
* Sessions will be held in January and February.
* Sign up here if you are interested.
* Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you,  Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

message: Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
 
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
 
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
# Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
# Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
# Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
# Request local admins for site notice.
# Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.
 
We look forward to your immense coordination.
 
Thank you and Best wishes,
Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Chers tous et toutes,
Cette année, le mandat de 4 (quatre) membres du conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimédia, sélectionnés par la communauté et les affiliés, arrivera à son terme [1]. Le conseil d'administration invite l'ensemble du mouvement à participer au processus de sélection de cette année et à voter pour pourvoir ces sièges.
Le Comité des élections supervisera ce processus avec le soutien du personnel de la Fondation [2]. La Commission de gouvernance du Conseil a créé un groupe de travail sur la sélection des membres du Conseil, composé de Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins et Shani Evenstein Sigalov, qui ne peuvent candidater au processus de sélection des membres du Conseil sélectionnés par la communauté et les affiliés pour l'année 2024 [3]. Ce groupe est chargé de superviser le processus de sélection des membres du conseil d'administration pour 2024 et de tenir le conseil d'administration informé. Pour plus de détails sur les rôles du comité des élections, du conseil d'administration et du personnel, cliquez ici [4]. 
Voici les dates clés prévues :
*  Mai 2024 : Appel à candidatures et appel à questions
*  Juin 2024 : Les affiliés votent pour présélectionner 12 candidatures (pas de présélection si 15 candidatures ou moins se présentent) [5].
*  Juin-août 2024 : Période de la campagne
*  Fin août / début septembre 2024 : Période de vote communautaire de deux semaines
*  Octobre-novembre 2024 : Examen des antécédents des candidates et candidats sélectionnés
*  Réunion du conseil d'administration en décembre 2024 : L'entrée en fonction du nouveau conseil d'administration
Pour en savoir plus sur le processus de sélection de 2024 - y compris le calendrier détaillé, le processus de candidature, les règles de la campagne et les critères d'éligibilité des personnes qui votent -, consultez cette page Meta-wiki, et préparez votre plan.
Bénévoles pour les élections
Une autre façon de participer au processus de sélection de 2024 est de devenir bénévole pour les élections. Les bénévoles pour les élections sont un pont entre le comité des élections et leur communauté respective. Ils veillent à ce que leur communauté soit représentée en la mobilisant pour qu'elle aille voter. Pour en savoir plus sur le programme et les modalités d'adhésion, consultez cette Meta-wiki page.
Meilleures salutations,
Dariusz Jemielniak (président du comité de gouvernance, groupe de travail sur la sélection du conseil d'administration)

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee
[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles
[5] Même si le seuil idéal est de 12 candidates et candidats pour 4 sièges à pourvoir, la procédure de présélection sera déclenchée s'il y a plus de 15 candidatures, car les 1 à 3 personnes éliminées pourraient se sentir exclues et cela représenterait beaucoup de travail pour les affiliés de mener à bien la procédure de présélection pour n'éliminer que 1 à 3 personnes de la liste des candidatures.

La Fondation Wikimedia va basculer le trafic entre ses centres de données. Cela permettra de s’assurer que Wikipédia et les autres wikis de Wikimedia peuvent rester en ligne même après une catastrophe.
Le trafic sera basculé le . Le test débutera à   (10:00 au Québec, 15:00 en heure d’Afrique de l'Ouest, 16:00 en heure d’Afrique centrale et 15:00 en Europe continentale).
Malheureusement, en raison de certaines limites de MediaWiki, toutes les modifications de pages devront être arrêtées durant le passage d’un centre de données à l’autre. Nous nous excusons pour ce dérangement et nous travaillons à le minimiser dans le futur. 
Pendant une courte période, vous pourrez lire les wikis mais pas les modifier.
*Vous ne pourrez pas effectuer de modification pendant une durée pouvant aller jusqu’à une heure, le .
*Si vous essayez de faire une modification ou de sauvegarder pendant cette période, vous verrez un message d’erreur. Nous espérons qu’aucune modification ne sera perdue durant ce temps, mais nous ne pouvons le garantir. Si vous voyez un message d’erreur, merci de patienter jusqu’au retour à la normale. Vous pourrez alors enregistrer votre modification. Mais nous vous conseillons de faire une copie de votre modification avant, au cas où.
Autres conséquences :
*Les tâches de fond seront ralenties et certaines pourraient être stoppées. Les liens rouges ne seront pas mis à jour aussi vite que d’habitude. Si vous créez un article qui est déjà lié depuis une autre page, le lien rouge pourrait rester rouge plus longtemps que d’habitude. Certains scripts ayant un long temps d’exécution devront être stoppés.
* Nous espérons que le déploiement de code se passe comme chaque semaine. Cependant, certains codes particuliers pourraient être gelés si l’opération le nécessitait.
* GitLab sera indisponible durant environ 90 minutes.
Ce projet pourra être reporté si nécessaire. Vous pouvez consulter le calendrier sur wikitech.wikimedia.org. Tout changement sera annoncé dans le calendrier. Il y aura d’autres annonces à propos de cet événement. Une bannière sera affichée sur tous les wikis 30 minutes avant le début de l’opération.

Chers membres de la communauté,
Le Comité des affaires communautaires (le CAC) du conseil d’administration de la Fondation Wikimédia vous invite à donner des retours à propos d’un brouillon de Procédure pour le Cycle de vie des Projets parents. Cette Procédure décrit des étapes et des conditions pour lancer et arrêter des Projets parents Wikimédia, et vise à assurer le succès de tout nouveau projet approuvé. Ceci est distinct des procédures pour lancer ou arrêter de nouvelles langues pour des projets existants, dont s’occupent le Comité de Langue ou la politique de fermeture de projets. 
Les détails sont disponibles sur cette page, ainsi que la manière d’apporter vos retours, et ceci jusqu’à la fin du 23 juin 2024, d’où que vous soyez. 
Vous pouvez également partager des informations à ce sujet avec les communautés de projets intéressées avec lesquelles vous travaillez ou que vous soutenez, et vous pouvez aussi nous aider à traduire la procédure en plus de langues, afin que les gens puissent participer aux discussions dans leur propre langue.
De la part du CAC,

message: Dear community members,
We are inviting you to participate in the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024 campaign, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation your language Wikipedia. We’d be glad for you to sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities page on Meta-Wiki.
Thank you,
