Request

Hi, I am user meta:user:Walter. I respectfully request this community to consider my following request; I write a newsletter about what is going on in the Wikimedia projects in all languages. It is my hope that every community, like this one, has some people who read Wikizine. Then I can maybe receive some news from those readers about your project and in the other direction the can inform there community in your own language about the Wikimedia news possibly. I would like to ask this community to include on a relevant page a small banner for Wikizine. I could not find the local Village pump. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

If a banner is placed here on the correct page the change that someone here will think about Wikizine and report some local news will increase highly I suspect. Or that people will take a look and read the Wikimedia news. And maybe even share it locally. Here are the banners; meta:Wikizine/banners

My apologies that this is in English and the Wikizine is also in English. But there is not other way to do this. If there are questions please ask it here. I will be watching this page for two weeks from now on frequently. Greetings, --Walter 17:10, 20 julij 2006 (UTC)

Wikivir

Povezava na Wikivir v "trenutnih spremembah" gre na angleški Wikisource. Sam nimam pooblastil, tako da ne morem popravit. --Darko Pes 08:23, 28 avgust 2006 (UTC)

Poleg tega bi bilo super če bi se nekdo (tudi sam bi če mi pustite) lotil prevajanja: special pages v posebne strani, torej da bi bilo vse prevedno kot na Wikipediji. --Darko Pes 08:25, 28 avgust 2006 (UTC)

Administratorstvo

Rad bi kandidiral za administratorja (prevajanje, vmesnik ...), vendar ne vem, kam naj vložim kandidaturo. Kar na Wikinavedek:Prošnje za administratorstvo ali pa se to ureja na Meti, ker še pač nimamo nobenega birokrata? --Domen 14:26, 18 november 2006 (UTC)

Vsaka prošnja za status se mora izpeljati na matičnem projektu. V primeru, če na projektu ni birokrata (nam ga ne dajo, ker imamo premalo ljudi), je v primeru uspešno rešene prošnje, potrebno obvestiti stewarda, da podeli status. LP, --Klemen Kocjančič (Pogovor - Hitri odgovor) 16:12, 18 november 2006 (UTC)

Torej, je potrebno najprej na Wikinavedku kandidirati, da se podeli status ali gre brez tega (pač, ker sta na Wikinavedku aktivna samo dva + jaz, ti tu pa tam pogledaš, torej imamo 4 aktivne člane)? --Domen 16:16, 18 november 2006 (UTC)

Ja, najprej moraš tu postaviti kandidaturo, en teden mora teči, če je večina za, se obvesti stewarda. Sam sem dodal toliko strani, da smo na nekem nivoju, zdaj pa sem se spet vrnil na WP. LP, --Klemen Kocjančič (Pogovor - Hitri odgovor) 19:08, 18 november 2006 (UTC)

Evo, kandidatura vložena: Wikinavedek:Prošnje za administratorstvo/Dbc334. --Domen 19:21, 18 november 2006 (UTC)

Vorlander

Trenutni dogodki

Povej mi ali mi potrebujemo Trenutne dogodke? Jaz bi najraje to stran izbrisal, Trenutni dogodki na levi strani v meniju pa preusmeril na Wikipedijo. Kaj praviš? --Domen 09:16, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

To bi bila ena opcija; kaj bi se dalo, da bi bila stran postavljena tukaj na Wikinavedku in se osveževala z Wikinavedka? --Pasji pozdrav 09:21, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

Ne. Bom izbrisal, iz menija pa naredil preusmeritev na Wikipedijo. --Domen 09:37, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

Urejeno. --Domen 10:22, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

Slabost je, da bodo potem uporabniki odhajali v Wikipedijo. Saj ne, da bi si bili striktno konkurenčni, a vseeno. --Pasji pozdrav 10:48, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

Ampak Wikipedijo tako vsak pozna ... na trenutne dogodke pa PMSM tukaj tako noben ne bo kliknil . --Domen 11:05, 2 december 2006 (UTC)

Neznani je dodal še eno malo morje navedkov. --Pasji pozdrav 07:46, 4 december 2006 (UTC)

Najverjetneje je to iz Grand Brixov. Kako se uredi navedke če jih je velik, po času, temi? -Ta nepodpisani komentar je dodal/-a Sporti (pogovor • prispevki).

Idealno bi bilo, da bi bili navedki urejeni časovno padajoče navzdol, tako da so najnovejši na vrhu. Drugače seveda pri pregovorih. --Pasji pozdrav 09:19, 29 januar 2007 (UTC)

Navajanje virov

Ker smo Wikinavedek, torej zbirka navedkov, ki jih nekdo izreče ali zapiše, si jih ne moremo kar izmisliti. Zato sem pripravil stran Wikinavedek:Navajanje virov. Od zdaj naprej se je moramo striktno držati (upam, da lahko smernico spremenim v pravilo). Poleg tega pa sem še dodal opozorilo anonimnim urejevalcem na MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning. --Domen 16:44, 10 december 2006 (UTC)

Mislim, da mora ta "smernica" postati pravilo. Pravzaprav sem začuden, kako je možno, da ni bila to že od vsega začetka. Sicer je res, da so navedke dodajali večinoma zaupanja vredni uporabniki, toda še vedno lahko koga zanima, iz katere knjige ali časopisa je navedek - da bi knjigo denimo še sam prebral, če so navedki zanimivi. To pravilo bi moralo veljati za vse enako, in ne samo za anonimne prijavljene - točno bi se morali ravnati po njem tudi uporabniki, ki jim je priznano splošno zaupanje.--Lagos 18:11, 10 december 2006 (UTC)

Dodelil sem ji status pravila. Za nepreverjene vire dodaj ob njega {{NV}}, vzdrževalni seznam pa se nahaja pod zadnjimi spremembami. --Domen 21:11, 10 december 2006 (UTC)

Naj dodam še, da bodo izbrisani vsi navedki brez vira, ki so bili dodani po 10. decembru 2006. --Domen 19:02, 19 januar 2007 (UTC)

Mora bit link res na konec napisan? Ponavadi je dolg skoraj celo vrstico, tako bi bilo bolje, da ime medija kaže na ta link.

Najboljša rešitev bi bila, da bi navedli samo domeno (npr. http://www.rtvslo.si) in jo povezali do članka. Kaj menite? Primer je Petra Majdič. --Domen 09:54, 24 marec 2007 (UTC)

Kategorija navedkov

Zanima me, ali naj navedke ljudi damo pod kategorijo Kategorija:Navedki/Ljudje ali pod Kategorija:Ljudje? Po moje je bolj primerno drugo, ker drugih navedkov tako ni (razen kakšne revije oz. časopisi). --Domen 09:41, 16 december 2006 (UTC)

Ni potrebe, ker bomo to tako ali tako kategorizirali, ko bomo imeli recimo ~7000, 10000 navedkov. Torej pustimo kot je. --Pasji pozdrav 12:32, 16 december 2006 (UTC)

Kaj in kako bomo kategorizirali? Ni lažje 2.500 člankov kategorizirati ZDAJ kot 8.000 člankov potem? --Domen 14:09, 16 december 2006 (UTC)

Avtorske pravice ...

Kako je z avtorskimi pravicami na Wikinavedku? Če bi npr. prepisal prevedene citati iz neke slovenske zbirke citatov (npr. Hudičev slovarček) ali bi bilo to kršenje avtorskih pravic (četudi bi navedel vir). In koliko takih navedkov je dovoljeno prepisati (cele knjige menda ne ...)?--Wailer 15:03, 9. december 2008 (CET)

500 slovenskih pregovorov

Ravno brskam po časopisu Illyrisches Blatt na Digitalni knjižnici Slovenije, pa sem naletel na zbirko 500 slovenskih pregovorov (iz leta 1823, mind you). Bi to bolj pasalo sem ali v Wikivir in ali se da komu prepisat? Jaz si ne upam na pamet posodabljat takratnega zapisa šumnikov.

Bot policy

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 two weeks 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. Nemo bis 01:54, 29. september 2009 (CEST)

Implemented. —Pathoschild 23:27:48, 18 april 2010 (UTC)

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Hello Wikimedians, My name is Sam Chapman and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between your community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into different languages and suggesting messages that would appeal to your readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

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.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Slog navedkov

Zelo zaželjeno bi bilo, če bi se navedki zapisovali v navadni, ne ležeči pisavi. Veliko lažje je brati in prej vidiš kakšne ključne besede.

Pa še: na Glavni strani je napačno zapisano: "prosti spletni zbirki 2.447 navedkov!" Pravilno bi bilo: "prosti spletni zbirki navedkov 2.447 avtorjev!" Ali kako drugače. --Janezdrilc 20:47, 26. december 2011 (CET)

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

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 17:34, 15. januar 2012 (CET)

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

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.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

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! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 20:39, 5. junij 2012 (CEST)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

To contact the mobile team, email mobile-feedback-llists.wikimedia.org.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

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.

We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF).

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(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:

1. 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)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. 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.

Upcoming software changes - please report any problems

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

All Wikimedia wikis - including this one - will soon be upgraded with new and possibly disruptive code. This process starts today and finishes on October 24 (see the upgrade schedule & code details).

Please watch for problems with:

• revision diffs
• templates
• CSS and JavaScript pages (like user scripts)
• bots
• PDF export
• images, video, and sound, especially scaling sizes
• the CologneBlue skin

If you notice any problems, please report problems at our defect tracker site. You can test for possible problems at test2.wikipedia.org and mediawiki.org, which have already been updated.

Thanks! With your help we can find problems fast and get them fixed faster.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

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)!

Thanks!

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time 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 very 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. If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!!

Thanks!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

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

(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.

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

Thanks, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 07:19, 24. april 2013 (CEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

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.
