Coming soon: Förhandsvisningar

En ny funktion kommer snart till din wiki: Förhandsvisningar av referenser för pop-uper för referenser. Sådana pop-uper har i flera år funnits på wikier som lokala finesser. Nu finns det en central lösning, tillgänglig på alla wikier som också är konsekvent med funktionen PagePreviews.

Förhandsvisningar av referenser kommer synas för alla, också läsare. Vill du inte se dem kan du alltid välja bort dem. Använder du finesserna Reference Tooltips eller Navigation Popups kommer du inte se förhandsvisningar av referenser om du inte inaktiverar finessen.

Förhandsvisningar av referenser har varit en betafunktion på flera wikier sedan 2019 och en standardfunktion på vissa sedan 2021. Utrullning planeras till 22 november.

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

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. Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

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), 23 januari 2024 kl. 10.40 (CET)

Johanna Strodt (WMDE): Whenever a change, we will have this qustion:" Is it possible for an indivdual user to turn off this preview?"

Is it? LittleGun (diskussion) 23 januari 2024 kl. 12.44 (CET)

@LittleGun Det finns redan en valmöjlighet under Special:Inställningar#mw-prefsection-rendering: "Aktivera förhandsvisningar av referenser" som man kan kryssa ur. ♥Ainali ^diskussion_bidrag 23 januari 2024 kl. 13.23 (CET)

Dåså! LittleGun (diskussion) 23 januari 2024 kl. 14.43 (CET)

@LittleGun: Thanks for asking, and apologies for replying in English. There are two ways to switch this feature off:

• By going go to your settings, as @Ainali has described (thanks!)
• and by clicking on the little cog wheel inside the popup, which leads you straight from the popup to your settings.

Anyone who is not logged in can also turn these previews off by clicking the cog wheel. Then, they can save their preference via a cookie. The previews can be turned back on using the “Edit preview settings” link in the website footer.

I hope this helps, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (diskussion) 25 januari 2024 kl. 14.53 (CET)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

Fler språk • Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

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.

Snart kommer din wiki endast kunna läsas under en timme

Läs det här på ett annat språk • Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

Wikimedia Foundation kommer att växla trafiken mellan sina datacenter. Det kommer att se till att Wikipedia och andra Wikimedia-wikier kan förbli online, även om någon form av katastrof skulle inträffa.

All trafik kommer att bytas 20 mars. Testet börjar 14:00 UTC.

På grund av begränsningar i MediaWiki, måste tyvärr all redigering upphöra medan övergången pågår. Vi ber om ursäkt för avbrottet och arbetar för att minimera det i framtiden.

Under en kort tidsperiod kommer det bara vara möjligt att läsa, men inte redigera alla wikier.

• Man kommer inte kunna redigera i upp till en timme på onsdag 20 mars 2024.
• Försöker du redigera eller spara något under denna tid kommer du få ett felmeddelande. Vi hoppas att inga redigeringar går förlorade under dessa minuter, men vi kan inte garantera det. Om du ser felmeddelandet, vänligen vänta tills allt fungerar som normalt igen. Sedan borde du kunna spara din redigering. Vi rekommenderar ändå att du skapar kopior av dina ändringar, för säkerhets skull.

Andra effekter:

• Bakgrundsjobb kommer vara långsammare och vissa kanske försvinner. Rödlänkar kanske inte uppdateras lika snabbt som vanligt. Om du skapar en artikel som det länkas till någon annanstans ifrån, kommer länken förbli röd längre än vanligt. En del långtidsskript kommer att behöva stoppas.
• Vi förväntar oss att kodutrullningen sker precis som vilken annan vecka som helst. Viss kodfrysning kan däremot stundtals ske punktligt om operationen kräver det efteråt.
• GitLab kommer vara otillgänglig i ungefär 90 minuter.

Projektet kan skjutas fram om det skulle behövas. Du kan läsa tidsschema på wikitech.wikimedia.org. Alla ändringar kommer att tillkännages i tidsplanen. Det kommer att komma fler notiser om det här. En notis om det här kommer visas på alla wikier 30 minuter innan händelsen inträffar. Dela gärna informationen med din gemenskap.

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

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.  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.
