Reminder! Vote closing soon to fill vacancies of the first U4C

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Dear all,

The voting period for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is closing soon. It is open through 10 August 2024. Read the information on the voting page on Meta-wiki to learn more about voting and voter eligibility. If you are eligible to vote and have not voted in this special election, it is important that you vote now.

Why should you vote? The U4C is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community input into the committee membership is critical to the success of the UCoC.

Please share this message with members of your community so they can participate as well.

In cooperation with the U4C,

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.

We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:

• Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
• Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.

Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Admin bevestigingen 2024

Hallo!

Het is weer die maand van het jaar, de moderatorrechten van Caribiana, Frank Geerlings en mijzelf verlopen na deze maand.

Ik zag dat Caribiana nog steeds heel actief is in bijdragen (dank!!): Frank heeft voor het laatst bewerkt in februari en heb ik daarom vorige week een mailjes gestuurd ivm de benodigde herbevestiging, maar daar nog niks op teruggehoord. Wat betreft mijzelf: mijn Papiaments is niet goed, en ik ben hier dan ook eigenlijk vooral admin voor eventuele technische ondersteuning.

Ik zie dat er de laatste tijd nieuwe bijdragers bij zijn gekomen, ook superfijn! Ik zou voor willen stellen om, naast Dwerg85, in ieder geval 3 redelijk actieve admins te hebben. Zijn er misschien tussen de nieuwen nog mensen die wel willen helpen in het beheer? Ciell (diskushon) 17:25, 8 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ciell, bedankt voor de herinnering. Ik had je bericht gezien maar nog geen tijd gehad om te antwoorden. Ik heb het de laatste tijd te druk gehad om Wikipedia de tijd te geven die het verdient, ik stel me dan ook niet kandidaat voor een verlenging van de admin-periode. Tot mijn spijt overigens, ik draag dit project een warm hart toe. –Frank Geerlings (diskushon) 21:25, 8 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Ciell, ben ik actief genoeg? Als ik admin + interface-admin kan worden dan zou ik graag wat gadgets installeren om hier wat productiever te kunnen zijn (i.i.g. HotCat, Navigatie-popups en purgelink). Bdijkstra (diskushon) 13:33, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Bdijkstra! Van mij mag het, we hebben hier geen minimum bijdragen.

Vanwege de kleine gemeenschap worden admin functies vaak niet voor langer dan een jaar toegekend, tenzij je 5 of meer stemmen ter ondersteuning krijgt (=het beleid vanuit Meta wiki, voor wiki's zonder beleid voor het aanstellen van mods). De toevoegingen voor gadgets die je voorstelt, zijn die al ergens besproken? Ciell (diskushon) 18:49, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Nee dat is nergens besproken. De gadgets die ik noemde zijn basisgadgets die op vele wiki's zijn geïnstalleerd. Bovendien zijn gadgets optioneel, mensen die er geen weet van hebben, hebben er geen last van. Bdijkstra (diskushon) 16:20, 12 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Uiteraard, maar gadgets kun je eventueel ook installeren via je eigen common.css toch? Als de gemeenschap er geen behoefte aan heeft, hoeft het natuurlijk niet centraal. De veranderingen die hier in 2021 zijn doorgevoerd (oa Wikidata based infoboxes, de Article placeholder optie, en een herziening van de categorieboom) zijn gemeenschapsbesluiten geweest: zie ook deze blog over wat we toen allemaal hebben gedaan. Ciell (diskushon) 10:46, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Inderdaad, gadgets kunnen ook via persoonlijke CSS (en JS). Wat ik werkend krijg kan ik eventueel aan de gemeenschap voorstellen als wikibrede gadget. Maar ik zie ook ongebruikte meuk in MediaWiki:Common.css, dat is een klusje voor een interfacemoderator. ;-) Bdijkstra (diskushon) 16:19, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ciell, ik ben met veel plezier bezig als editor en heb nu meer "gezelschap" van nieuwe bijdragers. Dit is goed voor vernieuwing en om de moed erin te houden. Ik stel mij weer beschikbaar als moderator. Caribiana (diskushon) 20:19, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Super @Caribiana. Ik zal dit weekend alles in gereedheid brengen hier. Ik denk trouwens dat ik er de 5e okt eindelijk weer eens bij ben in Den Haag: ben jij er dan ook? Ciell (diskushon) 10:48, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Ciell, het zou leuk zijn je weer eens te zien, maar ik ben vanaf maandag ruim zes weken uitlandig. Veel succes met het onderwerp: de koloniale mode, ik had er ook graag bij willen zijn. Ik heb overigens een uitnodiging ontvangen voor een bijeenkomst in Utrecht in december. Wie weet treffen we elkaar daar of kan er een zoom-kennismaking van het nieuwe moderatorenteam ingepland worden. gr. Caribiana (diskushon) 16:33, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Ik heb ook een uitnodiging voor december, zie ik je in ieder geval dan! En een zoom-bijeenkomstje wil ik ook altijd wel even opzetten hoor. Fijne trip gewenst, ik hoop dat alles oké is aan de overkant. Ciell (diskushon) 18:37, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Aangezien er de laatste tijd veel veranderingen hebben plaatsgevonden op de Papiamnetse Wikipedia en om het momentum te behouden, stel ik mezelf ook beschikbaar als moderator. Kallmemel (diskushon) 11:24, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Super @Kallmemel. Ciell (diskushon) 18:38, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Admin confirmation 2024 for Carbiana: new candidates are Kallmemel & Bdijkstra

Hi all,

It's the time of the year again!

At the moment three of the admins on this project (out of a total of four) need their admin rights reconfirmed by the community. Both Ciell and Frank decided to step back, which would leave only Caribiana for this confirmation, but we have two new candidates to join the team!!

Per the rules on Meta, they need 2-4 votes for a 6 month approval (though last year they granted us a year admin term as we now have this confirmation cycle since 2021). 5 or more votes (and 2/3 in favor of the applicant) would mean they get permanent rights. So please let the candidates know if you would be in favor of extending/giving them the admin rights, no hard feelings if you think they should not be prolonged/assigned, but then a little explanation would be nice.

Caribiana

Happy voting everyone! Ciell (diskushon) 18:55, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for voting all!

I'll leave the vote open for another 48 hours, and after that out in a request on Meta for the processing of the outcomes. Ciell (diskushon) 16:36, 23 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

I filed the requests here on Meta-wiki: per the procedure they will be put on hold for at least 24 hours before they are being processed. Ciell (diskushon) 16:50, 25 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Wow, they're already processed!

@Caribiana: you received admin rights for 2 years this time; @Kallmemel and @Bdijkstra, yours is granted for one year. And Bdijkstra, your IA rights are pending an email that was sent to you. Please note them in your agenda's, I may not be around next time to coordinate. :)) Ciell (diskushon) 18:00, 25 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Your wiki will be in read-only soon

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

All traffic will switch on 25 September. The switch will start at 15:00 UTC.

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.

A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

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 25 September 2024.
• 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.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Please share this information with your community.

Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
3. Victoria Doronina
4. Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29, 22 òktober 2024 (UTC)
