Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences

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)

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)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, 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):

1. Zache (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, Superpes15 (keskustelu) 7. helmikuuta 2024 kello 17.28 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the notification. I think that i requested the admin rights for task related to Wikikirjasto:Perusopetuksen osasto. However, I am not active editor of fi.wikibooks.org so technically i do not actively need the admin rights and if I need i can request them again. I however do tasks if somebody notifies (and i am active in fiwiki, wikidata, commons) them so if community think that it is usefull that remain as admin then i can ask that stewards in meta will keep my admin rights. --Zache (keskustelu) 8. helmikuuta 2024 kello 09.35 (UTC)

No. –Anr (keskustelu) 12. maaliskuuta 2024 kello 12.37 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

Lisää kieliä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

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.

Wikissäsi on pian muokkauskatkos

Lue tämä toisella kielellä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen katastrofin jälkeen.

Kaikki tietoliikenne siirretään 20. maaliskuuta 2024. Testi alkaa kello 14:00 UTC.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, jonka vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

• Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan 20. maaliskuuta 2024.
• Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

• Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin, ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.
• 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 on poissa käytöstä noin 90 minuuttia.

Projektia voidaan tarpeen mukaan siirtää. Voit katsoa aikataulun wikitech.wikimedia.orgista. Kaikista aikataulua koskevista muutoksista ilmoitetaan etukäteen. Ilmoitamme vielä lisää tästä. Kaikissa wikeissä näytetään banneri 30 minuuttia ennen operaatiota. Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa.

Hi everyone,

The final text of the Wikimedia Movement Charter is now up on Meta in more than 20 languages for your reading.

What is the Wikimedia Movement Charter?

The Wikimedia Movement Charter is a proposed document to define roles and responsibilities for all the members and entities of the Wikimedia movement, including the creation of a new body – the Global Council – for movement governance.

Join the Wikimedia Movement Charter “Launch Party”

Join the “Launch Party” on June 20, 2024 at 14.00-15.00 UTC (your local time). During this call, we will celebrate the release of the final Charter and present the content of the Charter. Join and learn about the Charter before casting your vote.

GFDL

Hi! I noticed that Template:GFDL and Template:GFDL/Oma have disclaimers (Tätä koskee vastuuvapaus).

Disclaimers should be avoided per w:en:Wikipedia:GFDL standardization. Sadly only the copyright holder can remove the disclaimers.

If any of the uploaders are still active and willing to remove the disclaimer a solution could be to create Template:GFDL-with-disclaimers, change all pages that uses GFDL to GFDL-with-disclaimers (with a bot), remove disclaimers from original template and then those that agree can remove the disclaimers by changing back to GFDL. Uploaders could also add Cc-by-sa-4.0 for example.

Even if no users are active it could still be good to do the swap so the name of the template indicate that it has disclaimers. --MGA73 (keskustelu) 18. kesäkuuta 2024 kello 16.57 (UTC)

If someone have a bot it will be a very easy task. I can also do it with my bot if I get a bot flag or permission to edit without a bot flag. --MGA73 (keskustelu) 27. kesäkuuta 2024 kello 17.25 (UTC)

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. 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:

Individual vote:

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). 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:

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). 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:

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.

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)

Sivuvalikon typon korjaus

Tuolla vasemmassa sivupalkissa on (ymmärrettävä) typo kun lukee perusopetus ja etäsopetus. Itse sivu on oikein, mutta valikon korjaamiseen ei omat natsat riitä (tai sitten en osaa). Ehtisikö joku ylläpitäjä? Vesa Linja-aho (keskustelu) 9. syyskuuta 2024 kello 06.47 (UTC)

Wikissäsi on pian muokkauskatkos

Lue tämä toisella kielellä • Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi

Wikimedia-säätiö testaa ensimmäisen ja toissijaisen datakeskuksen vaihtoa. Tarkoituksena on taata Wikipedian ja muiden Wikimedia-wikien toiminta jopa mahdollisen katastrofin jälkeen.

Kaikki tietoliikenne siirretään 25. syyskuuta 2024. Testi alkaa kello 15:00 UTC.

Valitettavasti joidenkin MediaWikin rajoitusten vuoksi kaikki muokkaukset pysähtyvät vaihdon ajaksi. Pahoittelemme häiriötä, jonka vaikutuksia pyrimme jatkossa vähentämään.

Kaikissa wikeissä näytetään banneri 30 minuuttia ennen operaatiota. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

Siirron aikana on lyhyt aika, jolloin voit lukea kaikkia wikejä, mutta muokkaaminen ei ole mahdollista.

• Et voi muokata korkeintaan tunnin ajan 25. syyskuuta 2024.
• Jos yrität muokata tai tallentaa näinä aikoina, saat virheilmoituksen. Toivomme, ettei muokkauksia katoa näiden minuuttien aikana, mutta emme voi taata sitä. Jos näet virheilmoituksen, odota tilanteen palautumista normaaliksi. Sen jälkeen sinun pitäisi pystyä tallentamaan muokkauksesi. Suosittelemme varmuuden vuoksi ensin tekemään kopion muokkauksistasi.

Muut vaikutukset:

• Taustatyöt voivat kestää kauemmin, ja osa saattaa jäädä tekemättä. Punaiset linkit eivät välttämättä päivity yhtä nopeasti kuin normaalisti. Punaisen linkin muuttuminen siniseksi artikkelin luomisen jälkeen saattaa kestää kauemmin kuin yleensä. Joidenkin pitkien ohjelmasarjojen suorittaminen joudutaan keskeyttämään.
• 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 on poissa käytöstä noin 90 minuuttia.

Projektia voidaan tarpeen mukaan siirtää. Voit katsoa aikataulun wikitech.wikimedia.orgista. Kaikista aikataulua koskevista muutoksista ilmoitetaan etukäteen.

Jaa tämä tieto yhteisösi kanssa.

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:

1. Christel Steigenberger
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.

Best regards,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

'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) 22. lokakuuta 2024 kello 11.30 (UTC)
