Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?

Apologies for writing in English.

The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.

• The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
• Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
• Compensation is available.
• Sessions will be held in January and February.
• Sign up here if you are interested.
• Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Looking for your Input: Invitation to interview on using Wikidata in other projects

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.

Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.

The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.

For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Помозите у превођењу на свој језик

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
4. Request local admins for site notice.
5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Vote on the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Помозите у превођењу на свој језик

Hello all,

I am reaching out to you today to announce that the voting period for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter is now open. Community members may cast their vote and provide comments about the charter via SecurePoll now through 2 February 2024. Those of you who voiced your opinions during the development of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines will find this process familiar.

The current version of the U4C Charter is on Meta-wiki with translations available.

Read the charter, go vote and share this note with others in your community. I can confidently say the U4C Building Committee looks forward to your participation.

On behalf of the UCoC Project team,

A new feature for previewing references on your wiki

Apologies for writing in English. If you can translate this message, that would be much appreciated.

Hi. As announced some weeks ago ^{[1] [2]}, Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team introduced Reference Previews to many wikis, including this one. This feature shows popups for references in the article text.

While this new feature is already usable on your wiki, most people here are not seeing it yet because your wiki has set a gadget as the default for previewing references. We suggest removing the default flag from this gadget on your wiki. That will mean:

• The new default for reference popups on your wiki will be Reference Previews.
• However, if you want to keep using the gadget, you can still enable it in your personal settings.

The benefit of having Reference Previews as the default is that the user experience will be consistent across wikis and with the Page Previews feature, and that the software will be easier to maintain overall.

If your wiki wants to make this change, you can remove the default flag yourself or ask the Technical Wishes team to remove it for you, ideally by February 12. – Kind regards, Johanna Strodt (WMDE), 10:40, 23. јануар 2024. (CET)

 Komentar: When can we have Serbian Cultural Diplomacy Month? One part of country is also (currently) occupied. Best. — Садко (ријечи су вјетар) 13:12, 1. март 2024. (CET)

@Sadko: Пошто Викимедија Украјине реализује овај свој годишњи глобални пројекат заједно у сарадњи са Министарством спољних послова Украјине, онда мене озбиљно забрињава могући сукоб интереса, као и потенцијално кршење википринципа НПОВ (тј. неутралности). Такође, може да им пишемо тамо на Мети да би онемогућили на нашој Википедији онај њихов гломазни плави шаблон (илити банер) на самоме врху за ово такмичење. — نوفاك اتشمان‎ 19:00, 23. март 2024. (CET)

Наравно да је, мнакар према мом мишљењу, сукоб интереса, није их брига. Може им се. Рад са министарством је само врх леденог брега.

Са друге стране, ради поређења, одређени највиши руски званичници имају практично погрдне упитне податке у уводнику; рецимо једног највиших званичника РУ Сечина, су наши западни партнери и саговорници прозвали „Дарт Вејдер” и податак је дио уводника.

Што се тиче захтјева на Мети, не знам како локално онемогућити, сумњам да је могуће. Можда наше колеге @Kizule и Milicevic01: знају? — Садко (ријечи су вјетар) 19:27, 23. март 2024. (CET)

Може се онемогућити кроз подешавања банера (за све језичке пројекте). — Ранко Николић (разговор) 19:31, 23. март 2024. (CET)

Под шта од понуђених категорија спада украјинска акција? Мислим да је Новак мислио како да онемогућимо приказ банера за све уреднике. — Садко (ријечи су вјетар) 19:34, 23. март 2024. (CET)

Не знам тачно под коју опцију спада, ја сам већ одавно сакрио све. Што се тиче скривања за све уреднике, тешко да ће то проћи. — Ранко Николић (разговор) 19:55, 23. март 2024. (CET)

Ранко, мислим на онемогућавање овога банера апсолутно за све кориснике на нашој Википедији. И Садко, тзв. „CentralNotice (CN)” банери не могу никако локално да се онемогуће. А за ово онемогућавање им се пише овде. — نوفاك اتشمان‎ 20:08, 23. март 2024. (CET)

@Sadko и Ранко Николић: Поздрав, Садко и Ранко, сазнао сам да је ипак могуће уклањање свих тих глобалних банера код нас (не апсолутно, него њиховог највећег дела, то јест), али са прихватањем подразумеваних тзв. „каталонских” изузетака. Укратко, увек су обавезни сви наредни глобални банери на ср.вики (sr.wiki): (1.) банери од стране Задужбине лично (WMF) и (2.) одобрени од стране наше викизаједнице (local consensus), те (3.) банери за прикупљања средстава (fundraising) и (4.) за хитна обавештења (emergency). Дакле, да ли се слажете са свим тим наведеним изузецима? — نوفاك اتشمان (разговор) 06:00, 6. септембар 2024. (CEST)

Може. Уз молбу да свима буде јасно како се уклањају/додају, колико смо локално у могућности. — Садко (ријечи су вјетар) 10:20, 6. септембар 2024. (CEST)

@Sadko: Овако, глобални банери се постављају тамо на Мети (посебна страница и календар). Глобалне банере стварају ЦН администратори-волонтери и човеци из ВМФ (посебна страница). Захтеви за додавање (ззд) глобалних банера се подносе као нове засебне странице (односно као нове подстранице) координационе странице за захтеве, док су захтеви за уклањање (ззу) релативно ретки у односу на ззд, а ззу се подносе (1.) као део већ постојећих, одговарајућих подстраница за ззд, (2.) на сзр главне координационе странице или (3.) као нове подстранице за себе (односно као нови засебни захтеви). Даље, изглед (као једне од тачака у упутствима за употребу) и примена (као прва, перманентна ставка у календару) изузетака за Каталонце (трећи по реду, али нажалост први успешни каталонски ззу тамо на Мети). Дакле, све ово подразумева да са применом изузетка бр. „(2.) [глобални банери] одобрени од стране наше викизаједнице (local consensus)”, односно након гашења највећег дела глобалних банера на ср.вики (sr.wiki), ми сами тако можемо најпре да локално, по потреби одобримо одређене, угашене глобалне банере и затим да поднесемо захтев за њихово паљење на пратећи ззд тамо на Мети. — نوفاك اتشمان (разговор) 19:29, 6. септембар 2024.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Више језика • Помозите у превођењу на свој језик

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

• May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
• June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
• June-August 2024: Campaign period
• End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
• October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
• Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

Best regards,

Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles

[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

Affiliates vote:

Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

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)

The following four candidates were the most voted:

1. Christel Steigenberger
2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz

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) 13:29, 22. октобар 2024. (CEST)

CampaignEvents extension and the upcoming CEE Hub Office Hour

Some of you have already been in contact with the Event Registration tool, that we are using for our monthly Office Hours. As this tool is part of the wider CampaignEvents extension, we would dedicate our upcoming monthly Office Hour to this topic and during the call will be present as well Benedict Nnaemeka Udeh, who will have a short demo about this extension and will answer your questions.

• Event list, global, automated list of events on the wikis. It can be accessed by going to SpecialːAllEvents.
• Invitation list, finding past contributors on the selected articles, that can be useful to be invited in the upcoming edit-a-thons, contests, campaigns, etc. You can view this video to see how it works.

You can find information on how this extension can be deployed on your Wikipedia here, which requires community discussion and consensus.

Čuklinac and Ćuklinac

Hi! I’ve run into these two articles. They are settlements at the exact same place, with the exact same population, and with a single letter difference in their names (and even that difference is hard to notice when written in Latin script). Couldn’t it be that the two articles discuss the same settlement, and if yes, what is the correct name? — Tacsipacsi (разговор) 19:15, 24. новембар 2024. (CET)

Tnx for the info, i redirected article to the older one. What is correct? I hope someone else will show up and tell as both — Милићевић (разговор) 21:27, 24. новембар 2024. (CET)
