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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections committee|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024/Election Volunteers|Meta-wiki page]]. |

[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.<section end="announcement-content" /> |

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki
Salam!
Apologies if this message is not in your language, Zəhmət olmasa dilinizə tərcümə etməyə kömək edin 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
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,
RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 15:35, 28 avqust 2023 (UTC)
Bütün vikilər yaxın vaxtlarda sadəcə oxuma rejimində işləyəcək

Vikipediya və digər Vikimedia saytlarının fövqəladə hallarda da fəaliyyətini davam etdirə bilməsi üçün Wikimedia Foundation, ilkin və ikinci dərəcəli məlumat mərkəzləri arasında keçidi sınaqdan keçirir. Hər şeyin düzgün işlədiyindən əmin olmaq üçün Vikimedianın texnologiya bölməsi planlaşdırılmış bir sınaq keçirməlidir. Bu sınaq verilənlərin bir məlumat mərkəzindən digərinə təhlükəsiz şəkildə keçib-keçə bilməyəcəyini göstərəcək. Yəni birinci verilənlər mərkəzində problem yaranarsa, ikinci verilənlər mərkəzinə keçilə bilər və istifadəçilər yenə də Vikipediya və digər Vikimedia saytlarına daxil ola bilərlər. Sınağın məqsədi bu keçidin problemsiz şəkildə həyata keçirildiyini göstərməkdir. Sınağ müddətində bir çox komanda gözlənilməyən problemləri həll etmək üçün hazır vəziyyətdə olacaq.
20 sentyabr-dən etibarən bütün şəbəkə trafiki başqa yerə yönəldiləcək. Sınaq saat 14:00 UTC -da başlayacaq
Təəssüf ki, Vikimediadakı bəzi məhdudiyyətlərə görə, köçürmə zamanı bütün redaktələr dayandırılmalıdır. Bu kəsintiyə görə üzr istəyirik və gələcəkdə onu ən aza endirmək üçün işləyirik.
'Qısa müddət ərzində siz bütün vikiləri oxuya biləcəksiniz, lakin onları redaktə edə bilməyəcəksiniz.'
- Çərşənbə 20 sentyabr 2023-cü il, çərşənbə günü bir saata qədər redaktə edə bilməyəcəksiniz.
- Bu müddət ərzində redaktə etməyə cəhd etsəniz, xəta xəbərdarlığı görəcəksiniz Ümid edirik ki, bu dəqiqələr ərzində heç bir redaktə itirilməyəcək, lakin buna zəmanət verə bilmərik. Əgər xəta xəbərdarlığını görsəniz, hər şey normallaşana qədər gözləyin. Bundan sonra redaktənizi yaddaşa saxlaya bilməlisiniz. Bununla belə, ehtiyat tədbiri olaraq, dəyişikliklərinizi vaxtından əvvəl kopiyalamağınızı tövsiyə edirik.
Başqa təsirləri:
- Arxa plandakı işlər daha yavaş işləyəcək və bəziləri ləğv oluna bilər. Qırmızı keçidlər, yəni əlaqəli səhifənin hələ yaradılmaması və ya adın səhv yazılması vəziyyətində yaranan qırmızı keçidlər normaldan daha yavaş yenilənə bilər. Əgər başqa yerdə keçidi olan məqalə yaratsanız, keçid həmişəkindən daha uzun müddət qırmızı qala bilər. Bəzi uzun müddət işləyən proqramlar dayandırılmalı olacaq.
- * Normal həftələrdə olduğu kimi, kod yeniləmələrinin edilməsini gözləyirik. Bununla belə, bəzi hallarda əməliyyatlar tərəfindən tələb olunan kodun dondurulması əvvəlcədən müəyyən edilmiş vaxtda edilə bilər.
- * GitLab təxminən 90 dəqiqə ərzində əlçatmaz olacaq.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?
Read this in your language • Zəhmət olmasa dilinizə tərcümə etməyə kömək edin • 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.
About the skin
[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
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) (müzakirə) 01:17, 26 oktyabr 2023 (UTC)
(New) Feature on Kartographer: Adding geopoints via QID
Since September 2022, it is possible to create geopoints using a QID. Many wiki contributors have asked for this feature, but it is not being used much. Therefore, we would like to remind you about it. More information can be found on the project page. If you have any comments, please let us know on the talk page. – Best regards, the team of Technical Wishes at Wikimedia Deutschland

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)
