message: Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. --Luckas Blade 15:25, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and enhance the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.
We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example, :ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/:de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/:fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage).

thread_title:  Content Translation tool announcement: Machine translation support through Google Translate enabled for Kinyarwanda 

message: !
Apologies as this message is not in your native language, .
Content translation has been successful in supporting the translation process on many Wikipedia communities, and we want to help additional wikis with the potential to grow using translation as part of a new initiative.
Content translation facilitates the creation of Wikipedia articles by translating content from other languages. It has been used already to create more than half a million articles. In addition, the tool provides mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content, preventing the publication of lightly edited machine translations. In general, our analysis shows that the translations produced are less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch.
Kinyarwanda Wikipedia editors have used Content translation to create more than one hundred articles. We think that there is potential to use translation to create more articles, expand existing ones, and attract new editors that learn how to make productive edits. Translation can help the community to reduce the language gap with other languages and grow the number of editors in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with you to make Content translation more visible in the Kinyarwanda Wikipedia and support new ways to translate.
As a first step, during the next weeks, we plan to enable Content translation by default on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia. That will make it easy for users to discover the tool through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation will still be able to disable it from their preferences.
Please feel free to share any comment in this conversation thread.
Thanks!

message: hello UOzurumba (WMF),Thanks a lot for the updates, but as a reminder the auto generated translations results in the creation of sentences that do not add up(make sensible) sentences in Kinyarwanda.(forgive my choice of words ,If I was to write in Kinyarwanda ,It would have been better.....would you advise us the native kinyarwanda speakers to come with an initiative to translate existing EN wp article and other language articles to Kinyarwanda manually? Ndahiro derrick (talk) 13:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Ndahiro derrick,

text: Thank you for your feedback. I do understand your problems with the integrated machine translation service not being accurate. However, you can decide to :start your translation in Content Translation with an empty paragraph. You can find the "Start with an empty paragraph" option on the right panel, where :you have the "initial translation" dropdown.

text: Having said the above, I will encourage your community to keep using the Machine Translation integrated services if you can, because publishing a corrected translation with the tool helps translation services improve by exposing all the translation corrections through an API and data dumps which the service provider can use to improve the existing services. In addition, some of the translation services provide specific ways you can make their project better to serve your community.

text: Once again, thank you for your feedback, and you can continue to provide feedback about the Content Translation tool to make it better.

message: This is a short message with an update from the Movement Charter process. The call for candidates for the Drafting Committee closed September 14, and we got a diverse range of candidates. The committee will consist of 15 members, and those will be (s)elected via three different ways.
The 15 member committee will be selected with a 3-step process:
*Election process for project communities to elect 7 members of the committee.
*Selection process for affiliates to select 6 members of the committee.
*Wikimedia Foundation process to appoint 2 members of the committee.
The community elections will take place between October 11 and October 24. The other process will take place in parallel, so that all processes will be concluded by November 1.
We are very happy about the wide range of diverse Wikimedians that are running for the election and selection processes for the drafting committee of the Movement Charter! As the number of candidates is quite large and thus informing yourself about them might be a bit more complicated, we want to try something different this time: We want to organize a so-called “Voting Advice Application (or “Election Compass) with statements related to the Movement Charter. All candidates can propose their statements here.
For the full context of the Movement Charter, its role, as well the process for its creation, please have a look at Meta. You can also contact us at any time on Telegram or via email (wikimedia2030@wikimedia.org).

Also, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee election is still ongoing. It would be great to increase community participation. If you haven't voted now is the time. Please vote here before October 24. Regards, Zuz (WMF) (talk) 15:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

message: The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.
With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.
There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:
#What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates? The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.
#What are the expectations for the candidates during the election? Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?
There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.
Join the conversation.
Best,

message: hello User:Minorax and User:Kmoksy:
I would like to be granted the administrative rights on the rw Wikipedia. My native language is Kinyarwanda. I understand Wikipedia policies, and I would like to be granted this right so as to be able to effectively ad deliberately maintain rw Wikipedia.
I've made over 2000 contributions to both English and rw Wikipedia and have trained more than 40 newbies who are active contributors as of May.2022.
Given this right, my contributions will extend but are not limited to : cleaning backlog, protecting pages, dealing with disputes, maintaining content, creating project pages and categories, and provision of quick and understandable feedback to newbies.
Currently, there is a lack of regular administrator Maintainance of rw Wikipedia, which has led to multiple Wikipedia policy violations.
Hoping my request will be considered.Ndahiro derrick (talk)
replies: text: Just a comment: you are not supposed to ask Minorax and Kmoksy about this. They are users from other wikis. The most important responses here are supposed to be from other editors in the Kinyarwanda Wikipedia. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 16:37, 9 Gicurasi 2022 (UTC)

message: Greats, I asking in hope common.css and common.js could be added to MediyaWiki for use of Infobox, Navbox and other useful tools (such as use of flatlist, etc....).
The main two I think are need added are MediyaWiki:Common.css, MediyaWiki:Common.js. It seems common.css was deleted in 2007, and common.js was never added. Both can be found on en or sw wikis. (en.WP links en:MediaWiki:Common.css, en:MediaWiki:Common.js). Or Swahili if you prefer, or as reference, can be found on Sw.WP MediaWiki: https://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maalum:KurasaZote?from=&to=&namespace=8. Thank you.
