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,

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 ucocproject
wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.
Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki[canbia]
Ciao!
Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.
This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.
With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:
<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>
The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.
{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}
Could become:
<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>
The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.
Thank you!UOzurumba (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Language team

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee[canbia]
Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?[canbia]
Read this in your language • Aiutaci a tradurre nella tua lingua • Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

Vector legacy (current default) -

Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
About the skin[canbia]
[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
- 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 jump 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 tested wikis.
- 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.
[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.
Our plan[canbia]
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (discusion) 03:17, 26 oto 2023 (CEST)
