IMPORTANT: Admin activity review[canbia]
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
- CandalBot (administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, علاء (disc.) 17:41, 9 xen 2021 (CET)

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[canbia]
Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua
Hello everyone,
I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.
In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.
This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.
As far as I can see, Wikisource currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.
I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.
Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.
Best regards,

Proposta di regolamento itWikiCon[canbia]
Cara comunità,
con l'obiettivo di facilitare l'organizzazione delle future itWikiCon, un gruppo di organizzatori delle edizioni passate, con all'interno anche rappresentanti di WMI e WMCH, ha pensato di proporre questo regolamento: lo scopo è quello di riuscire ogni anno in tempi rapidi ad assegnare l'organizzazione di itWikiCon e ottenere, se necessario, il supporto economico dei chapter.
Nel caso in cui ci siano più proposte concomitanti, il procedimento servirebbe anche a decidere quale candidatura sostenere. Ovviamente è solo una bozza che proponiamo alla comunità di lingua italiana di commentare e approvare. L'obiettivo sarebbe avere un testo approvato entro fine aprile in modo da dare tempo a chi si volesse organizzarne una dal vivo per il 2022 (per il 2021 sarà necessariamente ancora on-line). --CristianNX, Ferdi2005, Ilario, Jaqen, Ruthven, Yiyi, Ysogo, Valerio Bozzolan, Superchilum (disc.) 22:48, 23 mar 2021 (CET)
Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations[canbia]
Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[canbia]
Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua
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[canbia]
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[canbia]
From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.
To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis[canbia]

From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.
-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 17:09, 12 avr 2021 (CEST)
Suggested Values[canbia]
From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Editing news 2021 #2[canbia]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

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 "Instruminti de discusion" 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 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.
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, 29 June 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 30 June).
- 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 June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

Update on the OCR Improvements[canbia]
Hello! Sorry for writing in English. Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua.
The OCR Improvements are complete. We, the Community Tech team, are grateful for your feedback from the beginning to the last stage when we were finalizing the interface.
Engine improvements[canbia]

- Reliability
Prior to our work, the OCR tools were separate gadgets. We have added "Wikimedia OCR." It is available under one icon inside the toolbar on all Wikisource wikis. This tool supports two other OCR tools, Tesseract and Google OCR. We expect these tools to be more stable. We will maintain Wikimedia OCR.
The gadgets will remain available. The communities will have sovereignty over when to enable or disable these.
- Speed
Prior to this work, transcription would take upwards of 40 seconds. Our improvements average a transcription time under 4 seconds.
Advanced Tools improvements[canbia]

- Multiple-language support
Documents with multiple languages can be transcribed in a new way.
- Open the Opzion avansade
- Select the Languages (optional) field
- Search for and enter the languages in order of prevalence in the document.

- Cropping tool / Multi-column support
We have included a Cropper tool. It allows to select regions to transcribe on pages with complicated layouts.

- Discoverability and accessibility of OCR
We have added an interface for new users. It is pulsating blue dots over the new icon in the toolbar. The new interface explains what OCR means and what transcription means in Wikisource.
We believe that you will do even more great things because of these changes. We also hope to see you at the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. Thanks you again for all your opinions and support.
Please share your opinions on the project talk page!

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end[canbia]
Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.
6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.
Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January[canbia]
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[canbia]
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[canbia]
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[canbia]
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[canbia]
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[canbia]
- 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.

Celebrating 18 years of Wikisource[canbia]
Hello Wikisource enthusiasts and friends of Wikisource,
I hope you are doing alright! I would like to invite you to celebrate 18 years of Wikisource.
The first birthday party is being organized on 24 November 2021 from 1:30 - 3:00 PM UTC (check your local time) where the incoming CEO of the WMF, Maryana Iskendar, will be joining us. Feel free to drop me a message on my talk page, telegram (@satdeep) or via email (sgillErrore.wikimedia.org) to add your email address to the calendar invite.
Maryana is hoping to learn more about the Wikisource community and the project at this event and it would be really nice if you can share your answers to the following questions:
- What motivates you to contribute to Wikisource?
- What makes the Wikisource community special?
- What are the major challenges facing the movement going forward?
- What are your questions to Maryana?
You can share your responses during the live event but in case the date and the time doesn't work for you, you can share your responses on the event page on Wikisource or in case you would like to remain anonymous, you can share your responses directly with me.
Also, feel free to reach out to me in case you would like to give a short presentation about your and your community's work at the beginning of the session.
We are running a poll to find the best date and time to organize the second birthday party on the weekend right after 24th November. Please share your availability on the following link by next Friday:

Prossima richiesta di feedback sulle elezioni del Board of Trustees[canbia]
- Puoi trovare questo messaggio tradotto in altre lingue su Meta-wiki.
Il Board of Trustees sta preparando una richiesta di feedback sulle prossime elezioni del Board, la richiesta avrà luogo dal 7 gennaio al 10 febbraio 2022.
I dettagli saranno completati durante la settimana prima della richiesta, due però sono le domande già confermate e che saranno poste durante questa richiesta di feedback:
- Qual è il modo migliore per assicurare, all'interno del Board of Trustees, un'equa rappresentanza delle comunità emergenti?
- Quale tipo di coinvolgimento dovrebbero avere i candidati durante le elezioni?
Altre domande potrebbero essere aggiunte, il team Movement Strategy and Governance vuole nel frattempo dare tempo ai membri della comunità e agli affiliati per riflettere e raccogliere idee su queste due domande già confermate. Ci scusiamo per il fatto di non avere già una lista completa di domande. La lista delle domande dovrebbe aumentare di poco, dovrebbero aggiungersene solo una o due. L'intenzione è quella di non sommergere la comunità di richieste, ma di fornire un congruo preavviso e iniziare a raccogliere feedback su queste questioni.
Vuoi contribuire ad organizzare una discussione locale durante questa richiesta di feedback?
Contatta il Movement Strategy and Governance team su Meta, su Telegram, o via email a msgwikimedia.org.
Contattateci se avete domande o perplessità. Il team Movement Strategy and Governance sarà a corto di personale fino al 3 gennaio. Vi preghiamo di scusare eventuali ritardi nelle risposte durante questo periodo. Siamo a conoscenza che anche alcuni membri della comunità e affiliati sono offline durante le vacanze di dicembre. Ci scusiamo se il nostro messaggio vi ha raggiunto mentre siete in vacanza.
Cordiali saluti,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to join the first Wikisource Triage meeting on 21st March 2022[canbia]
Hello everyone,
Sam Wilson and I are excited to share that we will be hosting regular Wikisource Triage meetings, starting from 21st March 2022.
These meetings aim to foster the growth of a technical community of Wikisource developers and contributors. The meetings will be primarily focused on identifying, prioritizing and estimating tasks on the All-and-every-Wikisource and ProofreadPage workboards (among others) on Phabricator and eventually reduce the backlog of technical tasks and bugs related to Wikisource by making incremental improvements to Wikisource infrastructure and coordinating these changes with the Wikisource communities.
While these meetings are technology focused, non-technical Wikisource contributors are also invited to join and share any technical challenges that they are facing and we will help them to create phabricator tickets. Newbie developers are also more than welcome!
The first meeting has been scheduled for 21st March 2022 at 10:30 AM UTC / 4:00 PM IST (Check your local time). If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on sgill@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest topics for the agenda.

Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:
The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.
In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

Proponi delle dichiarazioni per la bussola elettorale del 2022[canbia]
Ciao a tutti,
I volontari sono invitati a proporre delle dichiarazioni da utilizzare nella bussola elettorale per le elezioni del Board of Trustees del 2022.
Una bussola elettorale è uno strumento nato per aiutare gli elettori a selezionare quei candidati che meglio si conformano alle loro convinzioni e opinioni. I membri della comunità proporranno delle dichiarazioni a cui i candidati risponderanno utilizzando una scala Lickert (d'accordo/neutrale/in disaccordo). Le risposte dei candidati a queste dichiarazioni verranno caricate nella bussola elettorale. Gli elettori utilizzeranno lo strumento inserendo le proprie risposte alle dichiarazioni (d'accordo/neutrale/in disaccordo). I risultati mostreranno quei candidati che meglio si allineano alle convinzioni e ai punti di vista dell'elettore.
Ecco il calendario della bussola elettorale | ||
---|---|---|
8 - 20 luglio: I volontari propongono le dichiarazioni per la bussola elettorale 21 - 22 luglio: Il Comitato elettorale rivede le dichiarazioni, assicurandosi che siano chiare, e rimuovendo quelle fuori tema 23 luglio - 1º agosto: I volontari votano le dichiarazioni 2 - 4 agosto: Il Comitato elettorale sceglie le 15 dichiarazioni più votate 5 - 12 agosto: I candidati danno il proprio parere sulle dichiarazioni 15 agosto: La bussola elettorale viene aperta all'utilizzo degli elettori al fine di aiutarli nella scelta del voto |
Il Comitato elettorale sceglierà le 15 dichiarazioni più votate all'inizio di agosto. Il Comitato elettorale supervisionerà l'intero processo, supportato dal team Movement Strategy and Governance. MSG si assicurerà che le domande siano chiare, che non vi siano duplicati, refusi, o qualsiasi altro problema.
Cordiali saluti,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Community feedback-cycle about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use starts[canbia]
Hello everyone,
Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
The Terms of Use (ToU) are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.
This update comes in response to several things:
- Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct
- Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license
- Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing
- Bringing our terms in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act
As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held, the first on March 2, the second on April 4.
For further information, please consult:
- The proposed update of the ToU by comparison
- The page for your feedback
- Information about the office hours
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team,

Your wiki will be in read only soon[canbia]

Wikimedia Foundation sta effettuando test di passaggio tra il suo data center primario e quello secondario. Lo scopo è accertarsi che Wikipedia e le altre wiki Wikimedia riescano a rimanere online anche dopo un disastro. Al fine di garantire che tutto funzioni a dovere, il dipartimento tecnologico di Wikimedia ha bisogno di condurre un test programmato. Il test dimostrerà se è possibile passare da un data center all'altro in sicurezza. Diversi team si prepareranno per il test e saranno a disposizione per correggere qualsiasi problema imprevisto che si dovesse verificare.
Tutto il traffico sarà commutato il giorno 1 marzo. Il test avrà inizio alle 14:00 UTC.
Sfortunatamente, a causa di alcune limitazioni di MediaWiki, tutte le attività di modifica dovranno essere interrotte mentre si effettua il cambio. Ci scusiamo per il disagio, stiamo lavorando per minimizzarlo in futuro.
Sarai in grado di leggere, ma non di modificare, tutte le wiki per un breve periodo di tempo.
- Il giorno mercoledì 1 marzo 2023 non sarà possibile effettuare modifiche per al massimo un'ora.
- Se proverai a modificare o a salvare durante il periodo di sospensione, vedrai apparire un messaggio d'errore. Speriamo che nessuna modifica venga persa durante questi pochi minuti, ma non possiamo garantirlo. Se vedi apparire il messaggio di errore, per cortesia attendi fino a che non sia tornato tutto alla normalità. Da quel momento potrai salvare le tue modifiche. È comunque consigliabile fare prima una copia delle modifiche, per essere pronti a ogni eventualità.
Altre conseguenze:
- I processi in background saranno più lenti e alcuni potrebbero interrompersi. I link rossi potrebbero non essere aggiornati velocemente come al solito. Se crei una voce per cui esiste già un link entrante a partire da un'altra voce, il collegamento rimarrà rosso più a lungo del solito. Alcuni script in esecuzione di lunga durata dovranno essere fermati.
- La distribuzione del codice dovrebbe avvenire normalmente come le altre settimane. Tuttavia, alcuni blocchi nell'aggiornamento del codice potrebbero avvenire puntualmente se l'operazione lo dovesse richiedere in seguito.
- GitLab non sarà disponibile per circa 90 minuti.

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process[canbia]
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.
Best regards,
Xeno (WMF) 21:01, 26 avr 2023 (CEST)
