Mien visie op Wiktionair-nuie stijl

bewirk

Aon edereine dee hei belaank bij heet!

V'r zitte op 't memint in 'n euvergaanksfase, boebij Wiktionair compleet moot weure verbouwd. Veur wee hei neet ederen daag roondlöp: Wiktionair-awwe stijl bestoont oet mie es 100.000 lemmata, gooddeils mèt behölp vaan bots aongemaak, dèks vaan bedinkeleke kwaliteit en gestèld in 't "Hoeaglèmbörgsj", 'n kunstaol die mèt 't levend Limbörgs wieneg gemein heet. Edereine is 't wel ins euver de noedzaak um dat te veraandere, meh wie dat moot gebeure, dao-euver kinne de meininge versjèlle.

Wat te doen mèt de aw bagaasj

't Beleid wat Gebroeker:Ooswesthoesbes tot noe toe heet geveurd waor: aw lemmata hersjrieve of versjuive nao e Mofers lemma (boeveur per se Mofers? kom iech dalek op trök). Daobij heet heer gezörg tot de lemmata-awwe stijl lesteger te vinde woorte: "wèllekäöreg" röp noe ummer e Mofers woord op, en "Allen inhaajd" verwijs nao nui bewèrkde lemmata. (De veraanderde stijl vaan categorisere maak dat meugelek.)

Op dees meneer doort 't, wienie me us neet massaol kump bijstoon, evels nog jaore ietot de ganse Wiktionair is gezuverd. Jeh wat daan, kin me noe dinke. Nou, nog mer eine maond geleie laog haaf 't internèt euverhoup wie eine op Reddit kaom melde tot de Sjotse Wikipedia vol mèt nep-Sjots stoont. Dat heet geveurd tot 'n invasie aon lui dieste hei neet wèls höbbe. Zoeget kin us ouch gebäöre. Lui höbbe miech op sociaol media al gesproke euver de Limbörgse Wiktionair. Eus lemmata weure dus geleze, en 't hoof mer eine de kat de bel aon te binde en de hèl brik ouch bij us los.

'n Noedoplossing veur dit probleem waor um artikele vaan 'n woersjouwing te veurzien. Dat góng gemekelek door 'nen disclaimer in te bouwe in 't klassiek kopsjabloon. In dezen disclaimer steit lètterlek: "De gemeinsjap geit dees ingeng de kómmenden tied herzeen of wusje."

Belofte maakt schuld. Zoeget sjöp verwachtinge. 't Is good tot de lezer is gewoersjouwd, meh v'r kinnen 't noe neet mie jaorelaank laote stoon. V'r mote noe ech snelder es veurheer d'n awwe rommel goon sanere. Iech stèl daorum veur:

  • Tot v'r de ganse categorie "Lèmbörgsj waordj" beoerdeile, oongeveer wie dat noe al gebäört;
  • Tot v'r bij ingeng in aander taole:
    • De lemmavörm corrigere en
    • De verboge/verveugde/geaffixeerde vörm wisse.

Boeveur dat daan? Deh, v'r höbbe nog ummer mie es 110.000 vaan die ingeng, die kinne v'r neet allemaol hawwe. Noe en daan mote v'r eve good drop inhakke. Meh alles wisse zouw ouch zun zien. Persoenelek vin iech 't wel charmant tot v'r hei e.e.a. in 't Volapük en 't Alabama höbbe. Es v'r aon eder lemma 'n verbuiging/vervoging haange, zien die neet-lemmavörm ouch zoe wel te vinde en kin me op basis daovaan de beteikenis achterhole.

Ouch mèt dit beleid zal 't nog jaore dore ietot alles good is, meh 'ne kritische mètloerder zal, es 'r nao twie maond nog ins trökkump, wel versjèl zien.

Wie moot Wiktionair à la nouvelle droetzien?

Dit is 't lestegste vaan de twie. Iech bin 't hei naomelek oonins mèt wie Ooswesthoesbes dat tot noe toe heet gedoon, en mie veurstèl zouw beteikene tot e deil vaan zie werk weer mós weure oongedoon gemaak. Mien oplossinge zouwe de Wiktionair bruukbaar make veur de mieste Limbörgers, meh zjus get minder bruukbaar veur de inwoeners vaan ein plaots, Mofert.

De probleme zien inherent aon de status vaan 't Limbörgs es taol zoonder algemein geaccepteerde norm. Wat Owtb heet gedoon is edere nuien ingaank neet es Limbörgs, meh es Mofers inkleie, compleet mèt köpke, aonwiezinge veur 't gebruuk en bijbehurende categorieë. 't Idee is, num iech aon, tot aander gebrukers datzelfde kinne doen mèt hun dialek.

Dit is evels oonhajdbaar. 't Limbörgs verdeilt ziech in hoonderde dialekte die natuurlek allemaol versjèlle, meh in väöl dinger ouch samekloontere. Zouw me noe beveurbeeld op 't lemma beer veur alle Limbörgse dialekte e köpke wèlle touwveuge? 550 köpkes in totaol? (Beer beteikent in 't Oos-Limbörgs 'cervisia/bier', in 't Wes-Limbörgs 'ursus/beer' en in sommege dialekte allebei, meh in allemaol kump 't wel veur.) En alle bijbehurende categorieë? Dat zouw in de doezende loupe, dat kin de sofware neet ins aon! En wat is dao in gaodsnaom de zin vaan es de beteikenis ederskier weer dezelfde is en de oetspraok allein op - veurspeulbaar - details versjèlt?

Mie veurstèl is daorum veur gein köpkes mie touw te laote vaan plaotseleke dialekte, meh 't te hawwe bij "Limbörgs". Bij de definitie kinne v'r daan aongeve boe dat woord veurkump; miestens hoof dat neet op dörpsniveau.

Veur inkel väöl veurkoumende versjèlle (ie en oe versus ee en oo, wel of gei versjèl tösse de twie aas, oetspraok sjerplang ee en oo) zouwe v'r keertsjes kinne gebruke (die iemes daan wel iers moot make); daan kin me direk zègke: "de variant zieë kump in 't geel gebeed veur". In datzelfde lemma zouwste daan, oonder e köpke "variante", kinne verwieze nao... variante, 'tzelfde woord in aander dialekte.

De oetspraok maag gere debij, meh estebleef neet mèt zoe pienelek väöl details wie dat noe gebäört. Dat is allein geldeg veur 't Mofers en mesjiens (dat weit iech neet zeker) e paar naoberdörper, meh get wijerop ligk 't alweer aanders. En daobij: wat moot de neet-fonologisch oonderlagte gebroeker daomèt? Este accentloes Mofers, Árses, Diets-Heurs of Kermts wèls liere spreke, mooste dat toch neet vaan pepier doen. 'n Fonemische transcriptie moot volstoon. Ouch allewijl weurt gewèrk mèt sjuin striepe; waore die neet ouch gemeind veur fonemische i.p.v. fonetische transcriptie? En is 't plaotse vaan zoeväöl details neet zoewiezoe al dubieus?

Jeh meh, kin me noe zègke, moot al die info die noe drin is gezat daan verlore goon? Neet per se. Me kin veur eder Limbörgs dialek 'n speciaol paasj aonmake mèt dinger die me dao-euver moot weite. Beveurbeeld: de perceis oetspraok vaan de ao, de contour vaan sleip- en stoettoen of de realisatie vaan de /r/. (Apperpo: Owtb, diech transcribeers de r ummer es 'n rollende r; is dat neet versjrikkelek awwerwèts?) Dao kin me ziech daan inleze euver wat typisch is veur dat specifiek dialek.

Categorieë wie "Mestreechs woord" of "Mofers woord" mage veur miech wel blieve bestoon, meh allein es 't woord ech typisch is veur die plaots. Dat is neet 'tzelfde es "kump allein dao veur" (want in de praktijk is dat noets 't geval), meh dat beteikent wel tot e woord wat in 300 dialekte veurkump gein 300 (of zelfs nog mie) categorieë hoof te drage.

Zoe, dit waor 't wel eve. Iech geef touw tot iech 'nen hoop neet concreet höb gemaak, en tot dees oplossing ouch nui probleme opröp. Daorum is 't noe de beurt aon aandere; natuurlek aon Ooswesthoesbes, meh ouch aon aandere die dit touwvalleg leze en hei get euver kinne zègke. Steinbach (euverlègk) 28 sep 2020 15:40 (UTC)

O, iech höb nog get vergete: 't liek miech beter um ouch gein vertaolingscategorieë ("Categorie:Euverzètting nao 't dit-en-dat") mie aon artikele te haange. 't Gief doezende taole, dat beteikent potentieel ouch doezende vaan dat soort cats. Zuug allein mer de mie es dreihoonderd vertaolinge vaan "hoes" op d'n Ingelse Wiktionair. Steinbach (euverlègk) 28 sep 2020 16:19 (UTC)

Ich zal effekes kort reagere ("kort" waas de bedoeling, mer 't is toch oete handj geloupe :P):
Mit betrèkking toete aaj begaasj: Ich haw beraekendj det ich mit 30 pagina's per daag op ei jaor tied de HLI-categorie laeg kan haole. Det is ambitieus en ouch neet hieël realistisch mitte meneer wie ich noe te werk gaon. De anger (neet-HLI) pagina's zówwe daonao väöl flotter eweggaon, went die mótte dan versjuuf waere nao verveugingen en verbuginge. Det kan mitte hóngerde per daag.
Wiktionair à nouvelle: 't Liek mich vanzelfspraekendj det ich hie neet in mit kan gaon. Verbuginge, oetspraok, grammair en zagswies wiek sterk aaf van dörp toet dörp. Ich herinjer mich nag det v'r 't dao lès op Wikipedia euver hawwe; in 't Mofers besteit 'n ganse categorie mit Ø-mieëvaad, die ónbekindj zeen in väöl anger dialekte. Vergaet neet det 't Mestreechs ouch zien eige online waordebook haet, wiezoea zów det veur 't Mofers neet moge? Boetedet is 't ouch juus mien intresse veur 't Mofers waat mich d'n drive guuef veur dit te doon (vergeliekbaar mitten drive veur 't HLI, waat deze kraom inne ieëste plaats haet veroearzaak).
Die 550 köpkes, det zal waal mitvalle. Mich liek 't det v'r hie ouch waal 'ne middewaeg kónne vinje. Waat ich veurslaon is det eder dialek gewuuen zien eige köpke maag höbben es 't lemma oetgebrèdj opgeboewdj wuuert (wie ich det veur 't Mofers doon) en det v'r dem dan centraal linke (wie vanoet 'n pagina in 't AGL) of besjrieve. De euverzèttinge vanoet anger tale (wie language > sjpraok) gaon dan nao 't AGL, en vanoet dao kónne v'r anger dialekte bereike. Ouch kan me daoveur keze dialekte die väöl opein lieke biejein te pakke; de dialekte van Hael en Häör wieke neet biezunjer väöl vanein aaf, die kónne beveurbeeldj ónger e köpke Häörs (breid).
Dan de oetspraok: dees is specefiek veur 't Mofers; 't Mofers wiek van eder dialek inne ómgaeving aaf en dus is de oetspraok in Ech/Berg/Postert/Remunj in väöl gevalle volstenjig anges. De oetspraok is semi-fonemisch opgesjreve; de bedoeling waas nag 'n Wiktionair-pagina aan te make worop de IPA oetgelag wuuert, meh det haw in mienen optiek gèn prioriteit. De kuues veure oetspraok op dees meneer weer te gaeven is veur 't Mofers good te kónne besjrieve; väöl (ouch intersante) details zeen hiebie eweggelaote. Wie bie eder fonemische transcriptie geit de kuues dan veur /r/, went de oetspraok is historisch /r ~ ɾ/ en pas later vanaaf de jaore 40/50 versjuuf nao ~/ʁ/. De rollendje r kump zeker nag veur in Mofert! Detzelvendje geldj ouch veure zwaor (Ingelse) /w/, twieë-accenttupige wäörd, 't eweglaote van "pseudo"-auslautverhärtung enne oetspraok van /aw/. Wiejer gaon mit 't ómboewe nao ei centraal köpke veur 't Limbörgs intersante en relevante categorieje, wie Categorie:Toeankóntrasterendje wäörd verlaore).
Mit betrèkking toet de euverzèttinge: dit kan centraler. Veer kinne daoveur keze det v'r de euverzèttinge per beteikenis (went wäörd wie "vaer" höbbe noe eimaol mieër es ein beteikenis) in e sjebluuenke zitten en det v'r det dan ónger eder köpke kónne linke; get saortgelieks gebeurt ouch op de.wikt (meh dan alles apaart). Die categorieje zeen inderdaad neet hieël zinvol veur gewuuen laezers, meh waal hieël wichtig veure statistieke. Det is veur mich de insigste meneer veur bie te haje wie oos vertaalbestandj daoveur steit. Optioneel kónne v'r dees categorieje behaje, meh dan es verborge categorieje (ich mein get wie __HIDDENCAT__ oppe categoriepagina neerzitte?).
Kort samegevatj: 't ewegsmiete van verbugingspagina's kan mich gènne reet intersere, 't eweghaole van 't Mofers waal. V'r kinne alles get centraalder make door AGL-lemma's es 'ne saort van hub aan te ligke, wovanoet edere gebroeker zien eige dialek op die pagina kort kan besjrieve, óf op 'n apaarte pagina oetveurig. --Ooswesthoesbes (euverlègk) 29 sep 2020 06:39 (UTC)
't Alderbelangriekste vergaet ich; de ganse raeje det ich 't zoea höb aangepak. Det is namelik det vanoet Mofert al langer 't idee besteit digitaal te gaon mit 't Mofers Waordebook; det kump aevel neet vanne gróndj: bieje auteursgerechtigdje (is det e waord?) óntbrik digitaal kinnis en tied. Det haet mich daotoe gezatj det zelf mer aan te pakke mitte Diekke van Bakkes es leidraod, meh sónger de stiel/fragmente etc. euver te numme, zodet v'r neet mit auteursrech te maken höbbe. 't Groeat veurdeil van 'ne wiki ten opzichte van e pepiere book is des te neet begrens bös. 't Zów zunj zeen dao gèh gebroek van te make; ganse verbugingen en verveuginge mit oetspraok veur edere vorm zeen gei perbleem, went veer höbbe toch alle plaats veur die kwiet te kónne. Wie ich de ieëste pagina's ómgezatj haw, höb ich die ouch laote zeen ane luuj en de reacties wore hieël positief. Väöl luuj höbben aangegaeve 't te wille gebroeke es zie 'n teks in 't Mofers sjrieven of aaj wäörd willen opzeuke. Det bringk dus ouch laezers mit es se-n 't tegooj wèts te promote; veur Jan mitte korten achternaam haet 't je gein zin mit zoea groeat projek aan te vange. 't Grótste naodeil is ouch wo 't veural wringk mit Steinbach zien visie; es se-n 't wils promoten es Moferse "richlien" mót ouch alles in 't Mofers staon op die pagina ónger 't köpke Mofers en 't mót toegenkelik zeen (es ich 't Nederlandjs waord "altijd" induuj mót ich flot bie "altied"/"ummer"#Mofers oetkómme; det geit totaal neet same mit Wiktionair à nouvelle. 'n Direkte oplossing hieveur höb ich nanneet. --Ooswesthoesbes (euverlègk) 29 sep 2020 12:10 (UTC)
Iech zouw hei gisteraovend op antwoorde, meh dat is neet devaan gekoume. Daan mer noe.
Diech vreugs miech boeveur 't geine Mofersen online dictionair maag geve, es 'ne Mestreechse al besteit. Deh, dat is hiel sumpel: dit subdomein is t'r besjikking gestèld veur 't Limburgs, neet veur 't Mofers. De Wikimedia Foundation heet dit domein oets aongemaak veur de ganse Limbörgse taol mèt mie es ei mieljoen sprekers, neet veur 't dialek vaan ei dörp mèt e paar doezend sprekers. Wieste Wiktionair noe aon 't opbouwe bis, slut 't de facto sprekers vaan aander dialekte boete, al waor dat natuurlek neet dien bedoeling. Mèt 'ne ganse Mofersen dictionair online, pienelek compleet mèt taolkundege details die 'ne neet-fonoloog mèt de groetste meujte nog neet versteit, dinke sprekers vaan örges aanders al gaw: deh, laot mer.
Daan op dien aander punte. Oet 'n opmerking op mien euverlègkpaasj höb iech al begrepe tot mie veurstèl neet gans eindujeg (?) waor. Iech wèl zier zeker neet allein lemma's in 't AGL en iech dink tot beveurbeeld zee, zie, zieë, ziè, ziea, zjè, zeë allemaol mote weure aongemaak. Allein: es e woord in lètterlek hoonderde dialekte 'tzelfde weurt gesjreve, zeen iech neet in boeveur me veur eder dialek weer 'n aander köpke moot make. En nog ins: iech weit nog neet of de Wikimedia-software zoeväöl categorieë wel aonkin.
E woord wie beer zouw veur miech mer twie köpkes euver mote hawwe, ein veur 't bies en ein veur d'n draank. Oonder allebei de köpkes giefste daan aon boe dat woord veurkump, 't leefste mèt (nog te make) keertsjes deneve. Wijer nao oonder giefste daan aon, mèt link, wie dat woord in aander dialekte klink; in dit geval zouw 't dus links nao baer en beër mote geve, zoewie nao bier en beier.
De oetspraok vaan allebei de wäörd zouw me daan mote geve es /beːʁ/ of evt. /beːr/. Daoneve zouwe daan twie links mote versjijne, eine nao 'n paasj mèt algemeinen oetlag euver 't IPA, 'nen aandere mèt "wie zit dit in dien eige dialek. Zuug [[Wiktionary:Limbörgse dialekte|hie]]. Vaan dao-oet zouwste weer kinne verwieze nao beveurbeeld "Wiktionary:Mestreechs" of "Wiktionary:Mofers", boe de perceis ins en oets vaan eder dialek weure oetgelag (oetspraok, meh ouch aander versjèlle - wat de gebruker moot wete um Wiktionary veur zien eige dialek te kinne gebruke).
Es iech d'n tied vin, kin iech binnekort wel e paar tes-lemma's in mien gebrukersruimte aonmake um te tuine wie iech dat perceis veur miech zeen. Steinbach (euverlègk) 30 sep 2020 08:31 (UTC)
Aojao, iech höb nog get vergete te zègke: 'n categorie wie Categorie:Toeankóntrasterendje wäörd kin daan gewoen blieve bestoon. Dao valle daan gewoen alle wäörd in die in n'importe welk Limbörgs dialek mèt behölp vaan toen oeterein weure gehawwe. De gebruker kin daan de lemma's aonklikke veur te zeen boe dat veurkump. Steinbach (euverlègk) 30 sep 2020 08:51 (UTC)
@Mofers: Det is op zich gein argument taengen 't laote staon van 't werk wie ich 't noe höb gedaon, ónger de veurwaerd det de hub-pagina's wie ich ze höb besjreve (en woots toe ouch veur pleits) ouch aangemaak waere. Mit 't ómboewe van Mofers nao AGL geit zowiezo e gaodsvermeugen aan infermaasje verlaore. Wiejer deil ich neet 't geveul det anger spraekers aafhäöke. Veer höbben hie zelfs inne HLI-tied emes gadj dae biedrages in 't Echters leverdje; en 't aandeil luuj die ieës oppe Wiktionair kómme sónger ieës langs Wikipedia te zeen gewaes is klein; zeker veur 'n taal wie 't Limbörgs. Ouch kónne veer ummer inne Sitenotice e berichskes zitte det veer op zeuk zeen nao mitwirkers die ouch anger dialekte behieërsje mit e linkske nao 'n oetligkpagina wo ze ouch doorverweze waere nao dees pagina veur vraoge te stèlle.
@Zie/zieë: prima; 't categorieprobleem verwach ich neet. De kans det emes anges e waord zoea oetveurig geit ómsjrieve wie ich det doon is klein; gezwiege veur 550 dialekte. Zowiezoea óntbrik bie väöl dialekte 't brónnewerk m.b.t. grammatica/oetspraok/vocabulair etc.
@Beer: 't waord "beer" allein getuug al van wie ingewikkeldj 't is waas toe wils. 't Waord "beer" is neet eindujig; bie väöl luuj is 't allein 't drinke, mer in Mestreech e.ó. haet 't twieë beteikenisse; oppe Zelfkantj beteikentj 't waord weer gaar nieks. Zoea kries te dus eine puinzooj es se-n alles ónger ei köpke Limburgs smiets.
@IPA: Dao óntbrik al de tonaliteit! Dan toch minstes /bè:r/ haop ich :)
@Toeankóntras: Dan verdwientj de functie vanne categorie. Väöl wäörd kómme neet euverein. E sjoealveurbeeldj vanne sleip/stoeat-oppositie is "paerd"/"peerd", meh veur ós in Midde-Limbörg is dit waord gaar neet toeankóntrasterendj... Wiejer is in 't Mestreechs nag spraok van braeking en analoogwirking: knien - knijns, boum - buim, wien - wijne zeen allemaol neet toeankóntrasterendj in 't Mestreechs, meh waal in 't Mofers (m.o.v. boum in moderner Mofers); en dan höbbe v'r 't allein mer euvere mieëvaadsvörm.
Ich kiek oet nao de tes-lemma's :) Innen tössentied wil ich toch weer wiejer gaon mit HLI eweg te wirke, anges ligk det te lang stil. Ich haop det v'r hie op 'n sjappelike meneer oetkómme. --Ooswesthoesbes (euverlègk) 30 sep 2020 11:07 (UTC)

Wiki of functions naming contest

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok.

Haj. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Danke! --Quiddity (WMF)

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, October 27 2020.

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.

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 Tuesday, October 27. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28).
  • 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.
  • There will be code freezes for the week of October 26, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

bewirk

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

bewirk

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

bewirk

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

bewirk

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

bewirk

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

bewirk
 
Example

From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.

More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Suggested Values

bewirk

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

  • Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
  • The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Read this message in another language • Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

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.

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 Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
  • 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.
  • There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

bewirk

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

bewirk

Hello everyone,

We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.

Summary:

We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

bewirk

In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.

However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.

We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

bewirk

We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.

A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet

bewirk

We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.

We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

bewirk

If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!

Feedback

bewirk
  • What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
  • How would you like to use our new sandbox?
  • What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
  • What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:

  • Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
  • Are ready to find compromises.
  • Focus on inclusion and diversity.
  • Have knowledge of community consultations.
  • Have intercultural communication experience.
  • Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
  • Have experience negotiating with different parties.

The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.

Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? Submit your candidacy here. Please contact strategy2030 wikimedia.org with questions.

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

  • What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
  • What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msg wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance
