Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations.

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

 

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Biller bi Wikipedia

Hey! Ik sin just bi un verbeter den Artikel över Korl Biegemann. Nu heff ik dor in'n Nett 'n poor scheune Fotos funnen. Wenn ik de nu för de Wikipedia bruken will, wat kann ik denn doon? Wo krieg de Verlööf dat Bild to bruken un wenn ik de heff wo laad ik dat Bild denn hür in'e Wikipedia hoog? --Flaverius 13:41, 19. Mai 2015 (CEST)[anter]

Du musst rutfinnen, wer de Biller maakt hett. Un disse Person mutt vör 1945 storven ween (70 Johr her). Oder de Arven von dat Bild mööt dat freegeven hebben. In de Regel is dat temlich swoor, ruttofinnen, wer en Bild maakt hett (oder de Arven to finnen). De Chancen sünd also man slecht...

Wenn he dat nicht sülvst maken will, kannst du dat aver ok an sien Steed hoochladen mit den Henwies, dat de Oorhever di dorför Verlööf geven hett. Denn muss du aver mit em vörher utmaken, wovun Lizenz för dat Bild gelln schall (Public domain oder wat dat dor allns gifft). Mi persönlich is dat jümmers 'n beten to veel Opwand.

Postersession auf der WikiCon 2015

Hallo zusammen.

Vom 18. bis 20. September wird in Dresden die WikiCon 2015 stattfinden. Für das Orga-Team der WikiCon koordiniere ich Aktionen rund um die „Wikipedien in kleinen Sprachen“.

Ihr seid alle herzlich eingeladen, nach Dresden zu kommen und mit anderen Wikipedianern aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum ins Gespräch zu kommen!

Für alle, die nicht zur WikiCon kommen können oder möchten, wird es dieses Mal etwas Besonderes geben: Wir werden eine Postersession anbieten, auf der sich die Projekte in Regionalsprachen vorstellen können. Auch die Plattdüütsche Wikipedia ist hiermit herzlich eingeladen, sich mit einem Poster den Teilnehmern der WikiCon zu präsentieren.

Interessant wären zum Beispiel Informationen zu folgenden Punkten:

  • Etwas zu Eurer Sprache
  • Kurze Geschichte des Projekts
  • Ein oder zwei repräsentative Artikel vollständig im Original
  • Gibt es einen regionalen Themenschwerpunkt?
  • Gab es Treffen der Aktiven? Wann und wo?
  • Habt Ihr Kontakte zu Wissenschaftler, die zu Eurer Sprache forschen? Zu Organisationen, die sich rund um Eure Sprache engagieren?
  • Welche Rückmeldungen von Lesern bekommt Ihr?
  • Welche öffentlichen Medien haben schon über Euch berichtet?

Natürlich könnt Ihr die Inhalte des Posters auch ganz anders gestalten. Eurer Kreativität sind keine Grenzen gesetzt!

Das Poster (A0, mind. 300 dpi) kann Wikimedia Deutschland für Euch drucken, für Euch entstehen keinerlei Kosten, wir brauchen nur die Inhalte. Das genaue Prozedere hierzu werde ich noch mitteilen, sobald ich selbst nähere Informationen habe.

Viele Grüße, --Holder 14:28, 2. Jun. 2015 (CEST)[anter]

Endlich Neues von der Postersession auf der WikiCon: geplante Poster können nun bei WMDE eingereicht werden. --Holder 13:34, 24. Aug. 2015 (CEST)[anter]

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

 
The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.
 
How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery 07:07, 24. Jul. 2015 (CEST)[anter]

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?

 

Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community. Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship! Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health. Contribute a drawing or answer the questions on the campaign's page.

Why get involved?

The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other learn?
Share your views on this matter that affects us all!
We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those participants who are eligible.

Happy editing!

Wir laden Euch ein, die Gelegenheit zu nutzen, um Treffen abzuhalten, Projekte zu beleben und Euch mit anderen Redaktionen, Portalen und WikiProjekten zu vernetzen. Außerdem öffnen wir Euch gern die Türen zur Landesregierung Mecklenburg-Pommern und der Stadt Schwerin. Schreibt bitte gern an mailto:orga@wikidach.org oder auf unserer Diskussionsseite Wikipedia_Diskussion:WikiDACH/2015

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

(Sorry for writing in English)

When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.

We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.

A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.

How to use it, once it is enabled:

Introducing the Wikimedia public policy site

Hi all,

We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.

Visit the public policy portal: https://policy.wikimedia.org/

Please help translate the statements on Meta Wiki. You can read more on the Wikimedia blog.

Thanks,

Bild fehlt

Ik heff den Plaan, en Vörlaag:Bild fehlt antoleggen, de in Artikels rinkummt, bi de noch Biller fehlen doot (wat in de Oort hebbt wi ja al in Vörlaag:Taxobox in, to sehn to’n Bispeel bi Auriculigerina miranda). To Bahnhoff Heesdörp to’n Bispeel hebbt wi keen Bild. Un ik harr geern en Kategorie, in de ik all disse Artikels ahn Biller finnen kann. Denn kannst to’n Bispeel planen: ik föhr na Bremerhoben, wat kann ik dor blangenbi fotograferen üm Biller för Wikipedia to hebben?

De hoochdüütsche un en Reeg annere Wikipedias hebbt dor al en Vörlaag: de:Vorlage:Bilderwunsch. Op de.wp kummt de Vörlaag mit en lütte Box in’n Artikel (Bispeel: de:Kwidzyn), bi en.wp un nl.wp op de Diskuschoonssied (Bispeel: en:Talk:Jaroslav Foglar, nl:Overleg:Buriville). fr.wp hett ok en Box in’n Artikel, blots wat grötter (Bispeel: fr:Gâteau au fromage à la mode d'Obwald). Op ru.wp is dat so, dat de Vörlaag in’n Normalfall blots en unsichtbore Kategorie sett, över de een Artikels ahn Bild finnen kann.

Nu is miene Fraag: Wat meent ji? Schall ik de Vörlaag so maken, dat de in’n Artikel to sehn is? Oder unsichtbor? Wat is beter? Op de Diskuschoonssied gefallt mi nich so good, denn kriegt wi unnödig so veel blaue Diskuschoonssieden wo gorkeen Diskuschoon is.

Mi persönlich reckt en unsichtbore Kategorie. Aver en sichtboren Text in’n Artikel helpt villicht as Henwies an Brukers, dat se dor wat inbringen köönt. --::Slomox:: >< 13:03, 28. Sep. 2015 (CEST)[anter]

So en Kategorie to hebben is en feinen Infall. Dien letzten Afsatz faat dat goot tosamen: Mi persönlich reckt ok en unsichtbore Kategorie. Man to wenigstens Brukers weet, wo so wat to finnen weer. Von dorher warrt en unsichtbore Kategorie nich vele Lüüd ansnacken. En Henwies in'n Text so as dat bi de Stubben-Vörlaag is, künn mehr bewegen. --Iwoelbern 15:44, 28. Sep. 2015 (CEST)[anter]
Ik heff nu de Vörlaag anleggt. So dat de Text optional is. Bispelen:
  • Nincop: keen Text, blots unsichtbore Kategorie
  • Brobargen: Text an't Enn von'n Artikel
De Kategorie is Kategorie:Wikipedia:Bild fehlt.

Füürwehren

Ik heff nu wedder wat neet anfungen: Füürwehr in de Samtgemeen Olendörp-Himmelpoorten.

Op de.wp hett dat in de Vergangenheit fakener Lüüd geven, de wat över de freewillige Füürwehr in jemehr Dörp oder Stadt schrieven wullen. Disse Artikels sünd denn jümmer löscht worrn. Von wegen Relevanz. Liekers dücht mi dat en intressant Thema. Dorüm heff ik nu dissen Artikel anfungen (de noch grötter warrn schall), de nich blots en enkelt Dörp as Thema hett, man en ganze Samtgemeen. De Samtgemeen is de Dreger von de Füürwehren, dorüm dücht mi dat beter as Artikels över enkelte Oortsfüürwehren. Nu is blots de Fraag: meent ji, dat is relevant? Schall ik dor mit wiedermaken oder schall ik stoppen?

As Info, wat dat an Ümfang bedüden deit: in mien Rebeed (Elv-Werser-Dreeeck) gifft dat opstunns 62 Eenheits- un Samtgemenen. So veel Artikels warrt dat maximal (von de, de ik anlegg). In ganz Neddersassen sünd dat 414. För annere Bundslänner kann ik nix seggen, de sünd anners organiseert. --::Slomox:: >< 17:27, 30. Sep. 2015 (CEST)[anter]

Mit de Relevanz heff ik keen Lasten. Ik fraag mi eher bi de Indrääg vun de Fohrtüüch, wokeen dat aktuell hollen schall. Dat as Översicht för de Samtgemeen to maken is goot. Jeedeen Füürwehr enkelt dortostellen, weer woll ’n beten veel Opgaav. Un so veel gifft dat amenner ok nich to schrieven över de enkelten Füürwehren. --Iwoelbern 00:10, 1. Okt 2015 (CEST)
Dat aktuell hollen blifft mien Opgaav. För miene Artikels övernehm ik dat. Son Fohrtüüg höllt 20 bet 30 Johr. Is also nich so, dat de Infos morgen al all veröllert sünd. Un en neet Fohrtüüg is ok jümmer wat besünners. Dat heet, dat steiht in't Daagbladd un is ok op't Internett to finnen. Reckt wohrschienlich, wenn ik denn un wenn op de Websteed von'n Füürwehr-Kreisverband kiek, dor warrt dat jümmer mellt, wenn dor wat passeert. --::Slomox:: >< 07:10, 1. Okt 2015 (CEST)
Ik harr dor ok keen Problem mit, wenn dor for jede Füerwehr en Artikel maken wullt. Wi sünd ja bannig wat regionaler, as de hoochdüütsche WP, vundeswegen meen ik, höört dat hier döörchut hen. Also: Mien Segen hest du! --Bolingbroke 11:27, 1. Okt 2015 (CEST)

Tribus

De Artikel to Tribus steiht in düsse WP slicht unner dat Lemma Tribus. Man in de Taxobox is dat wat vigelienscher unner Tribus (Biologie) inboot. Vundeswegen steiht in de Taxobox Biologie de Henwies up den Tribus jummers in root, allens annere is blau. Kann dat ännert weern?--Bolingbroke 13:04, 2. Okt 2015 (CEST)

Ik heff den Artikel schaven un de Links all ännert. Ünner Tribus liggt nu en Mehrdüdig-Begreep-Sied. --::Slomox:: >< 13:33, 2. Okt 2015 (CEST)

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Wikiproject Erasmus Prize Winners

Dear fellow wikipedians,

My apologies for using English here, please help translate if you are able.
Wikipedia has been awarded the Erasmus Prize 2015. This prize is awarded annually to a person or institution that has made an exceptional contribution to culture, society or social science. The King of the Netherlands will present the award on 25 November. This will create media attention which will hopefully result in plenty of new volunteers. Prior to the award ceremony we would like to write and improve articles on former Erasmus Prize winners. All 80 former laureates should be notable enough to merit an article.

Please join the project and help us provide our fellow laureates with articles.

Sincerely, FrankTMeijer and Taketa 18:16, 12. Nov. 2015 (CET)[anter]

Mehrdüdige Begrepen un Redirects

@Iwoelbern, Bolingbroke, Eastfrisian: Dat kummt fakener vör, dat Links op Sieden to mehrdüdige Begrepen oder op Redirects wiest. Nich jümmer, aver faken, is dat en Fehler. Wenn ik to’n Bispeel in en Artikel en Link sett op Glüsen, denn is dat in de Regel en Fehler. Dat gifft veer Öörd, de Glüsen heten doot un normalerwies meen ik een bestimmten Oort, wenn ik en Link sett.

Wenn ji wüllt, denn köönt ji dissen Code hier to joon Bruker-CSS tofögen:

.mw-disambig { background-color: #ff9191; }
.mw-redirect { background-color: #ffe4c4; }

De eerste Lien seggt ut, dat Links op mehrdüdige Begrepen en roden Achtergrund kriegen schöölt. De twete Lien seggt, dat Links op Redirects en orangen Achtergrund kriegen schöölt. Denn fallt dat in de Vörschau licht op, dat in’n Text noch Links sünd, de villicht nich op den richtigen Artikel wiesen doot. (Annere Farven sünd aver ok mööglich.)

För mi maakt dat de Arbeid lichter, wenn ik de verkehrten Links glieks sehn kann. Ik wull jo dat geern vertellen, dat dat geiht. Bruukt ji nich, wenn ji dat nich wüllt. Ik kann ok geern helpen, dat in dat Bruker-CSS intoboon. --::Slomox:: >< 07:47, 16. Nov. 2015 (CET)[anter]

Feine Saak. Woneem finn ik mien Bruker-CSS? Wenn ik den Lenk klicken do, denn komm ik op en leddige Siet. --Iwoelbern 09:43, 16. Nov. 2015 (CET)[anter]
De leddige Sied is dien Bruker-CSS. Wenn du de Sied anleggst, denn warrt de CSS-Code aktiv. --::Slomox:: >< 09:51, 16. Nov. 2015 (CET)[anter]
Bi mi is de Sied ok leddig, dat liggt dor an, dat de Code bi mi ünner Bruker:Slomox/vector.css liggt. Dat is dat Bruker-CSS för den Vector-Skin. Aver common.css is unafhängig von’n Skin, den du bruukst. --::Slomox:: >< 09:54, 16. Nov. 2015 (CET)[anter]

Harassment consultation

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

The Community Advocacy team the Wikimedia Foundation has opened a consultation on the topic of harassment on Meta. The consultation period is intended to run for one month from today, November 16, and end on December 17. Please share your thoughts there on harassment-related issues facing our communities and potential solutions. (Note: this consultation is not intended to evaluate specific cases of harassment, but rather to discuss the problem of harassment itself.)

Regards, Community Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!
