Kategorija:Premjestiti u Wječnik

Ako netko želi, članke u kategoriji Premjestiti u Wječnik s Wikipedije trebalo bi premjestit ovdje, i pritom tamo staviti predložak {{bris}} na onaj na Wikipediji--Dalibor Bosits ^© 18:36, 16. ožujka 2008. (UTC)

Kratice sa wikipedije

Nekad davno, jedan je suradnik enigmatičar postavio velik broj kratica na hrvatsku wikipediju. Danas je dio tih kratica u Kategorija:Kratice.

Dio kratice je "spasen" jer su pretvorene u razdvojbe (npr HSS), no dio kratica je beznadno beskorisan na wikipediji, kao npr KUD.

Moje je misljenje da kratice ne spadaju tamo vec ovdje i da ih treba prabaciti ovdje. --Sombrero 14:48, 7. kolovoza 2008. (UTC)

Počet ću preještat neke stranice, kako na koju naletim. --Ante Perkovic 13:41, 30. travnja 2009. (UTC)

prijava

Imam problema s prijavom. Može li se što uraditi glede toga? --89.146.165.8 09:25, 12. kolovoza 2008. (UTC)

ovo je premalo informacija. Već imaš prijavljeno ime ili ne možeš napraviti račun? Gdje se prijavljuješ, ovdje? Dali se javlja kakva greška, koja? itd ;o) --Dalibor Bosits ^© 09:31, 12. kolovoza 2008. (UTC)

Veliko-malo slovo

Pišem članak na wikipediji o sportskom plesu, pa nisam siguran kako napisati, npr. samba, cha cha cha, quick step ili tango: VELIKIM ili malim početnim slovom??? Navijam za malo početno, ali ipak nisam siguran.
Nadam se da je ovo pravo mjesto za takva pitanja (ipak je ovo rječnik!)

Hvala.--StjepanG 13:11, 26. listopada 2008. (UTC)StjepanG

I ja navijam za malo početno!Dobrodošao na Wječnik.--Pavo 14:36, 26. listopada 2008. (UTC)

Piše se malim početnim. F.G. (razgovor) 17:08, 27. listopada 2008. (UTC)

Hvala na dobrodošlici i na odgovorima! Ipak nisam siguran da ću u dogledno vrijeme uređivati Wječnik (ovo mi je globalni račun).StjepanG 19:39, 27. listopada 2008. (UTC)StjepanG

{{WProjekti}}

Imam problema s ovim predloškom, kad sam ga stavljao na str. pas, citat i wikipedija su normalno radili, ali commons i wikivrste ne, nije izbacivao poveznicu već nešto tipa [[wikispecies:Canis|]]

Usporedi sada, predložak se mora ispravno ispuniti da bi vodio na odgovarajuće projekte, tj. mora se napisati točno ime stranice na koju treba voditi. --Roberta F. 23:51, 7. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

U redu, hvala lijepa!--StjepanG 15:56, 8. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

Naslov jezika

Na drugim rječnicima, primjerice portugalskom i francuskom, primijetio sam da imaju naslov s imenom jezika u obojenom okviriću, što mi se čini vrlo zgodno za stranice s prevodima, da ne bi bilo previše crta, a i lijepo izgledaju, dodaju malo boje. Stranice koje imaju jednu riječ na više jezika su, doduše, u nas rijetkost, ali hrvatski ima dosta zajedničkih riječi s bošnjačkim i srpskim, pa će valjda ipak biti takvih stranica. Kakva mi je ideja da i mi uvedemo takve okviriće? Potrebno je samo napraviti takve predloške bar za veće jezike, i kasnije nadodavati. --StjepanG 12:11, 9. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

Ne sviđa mi se kako je šareno na portugalskome ili francuskome, ovako kako je sada najsličnije poljskome i njemačkome mi je apsolutno prihvatljivo. Prvi bi zadatak trebao biti sve ove preostale stranice uskladiti s dogovorenim predlošcima. --Roberta F. 19:21, 9. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

Poštujem mišljenje, kolegice! A ipak, što nam je ovako pusto u konobi?--StjepanG 15:54, 10. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

Stjepane, pa ljeto je, mnogo je suradnika na ljetovanju, a nešto slično sam ti napisala i na stranici za razgovor. --Roberta F. 17:27, 10. kolovoza 2009. (UTC)

Izvori

Ljudi, trebao bi nam predložak {{izvori}}, to je ipak potrebno svakom wikiprojektu, a mi imamo pet-šest stranica gdje su stavljane reference u tekstu ali ne i niže. Sad se valjda neki admin i vratio s odmora:))--StjepanG 14:16, 9. rujna 2009. (UTC)

Učinjeno; možda link na te stranice? :-) Pozdrav, — LukaKrstulović 16:06, 15. rujna 2009. (UTC)

Predložak

imamo Predložak:deklinacija, ne bi škodio Predložak:konjugacija ili Predložak:sprezanje :)) --SveroH 23:14, 9. studenog 2009. (UTC)

Novi logotip Wječnika

Na Meti se nedavno održao drugi krug izbora novog logotipa Wječnika. Glasovanjem u prvome krugu (rezultati), u drugi su se krug plasirala sljedeća dva logotipa:

• 
  Logotip 1
  Broj dobivenih glasova u prvome krugu:
  295 (12,5 %)
• 
  Logotip 2
  Broj dobivenih glasova u prvome krugu:
  256 (10,8 %)
• 
• 
  Logotip 1
  Broj dobivenih glasova u drugome krugu:
  556 (55,0 %)
• 
  Logotip 2
  Broj dobivenih glasova u drugome krugu:
  455 (45,0 %)

• Detaljnije: glasovanje u drugome krugu, rezultati

Dosadašnji logotip

Glasovanjem u drugome krugu izabran je logotip 1 te je sada potrebno napraviti njegovu lokalizaciju. Za lokalizaciju se treba ispuniti ova tablica koja sadrži lokalizirana imena i opis projekata koji će pisati na lokaliziranome logotipu.

Trenutni podaci:

Ime projekta: Wječnik

Opis projekta: wiki rječnik otvorenog sadržaja

Isto tako, nakon lokalizacije na svim lokalnim Wječnicima provesti će se glasovanje o prihvaćanju izabranoga logotipa. Ukoliko 60 % svih Wječnika odobri izabrani logotip, on će biti prihvaćen na svim lokalnim Wječnicima. U suprotnome, svaki će Wječnik nastaviti upotrebu dosadašnjeg logotipa.

Zamolio bih suradnike da pogledaju predložene logotipove kako bi mogli sudjelovati u procesu promjene ili ostanku dosadašnjeg vizualnog identiteta.

Lijep pozdrav! --Herr Mlinka (razgovor) 03:15, 20. veljače 2010. (CET)

Evo, stigao nam i novi logo :) Osobno nemam nešto protiv, iako bi se dalo raspraviti o detaljizaciji same slike i čitkosti natpisa ispod, no opći izgled mi se sviđa. U međuvremenu, što se tiče natpisa koji na engleskom glasi "the free dictionary" pretpostavljam da se slažete da u našoj inačici stoji "slobodan rječnik"? Ako ima kakvih drugih prijedloga svakako iznesite, no imajte na umu da je natpis već blago nečitak te da bi dulji opisi poput sadašnjeg "wiki rječnik otvorenog sadržaja" bili pre-sitni. Kao što je Herr Mlinka rekao, zamolio bih da se svi izjasne oko prijedloga :) Pozdrav svima, — LukaKrstulović 19:41, 26. veljače 2010. (UTC)

Suglasan sam s Lukinim prijedlogom vezanim za natpis, a što se tiče vizualnog rješenja nemam stajalište. Po meni je prvi prijedlog previše siv, a drugi preveć šaren, tako da ostajem neutralan glede globalnog unificiranja logoa. Pozdrav svima!--Pavo 20:04, 26. veljače 2010. (UTC)

Sestrinski, ostali ili drugi projekti

Zamolila bih suradnike da promisle o podnaslovu koji dolazi na dno članaka a preko njega se povezuje na sestrinske projekte

=== sestrinski projekti ===

=== ostali projekti ===

=== drugi projekti ===

kako bi ih standardizirali i ubuduće rabili samo jedan oblik. --Roberta F. 23:34, 15. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Meni se sviđa ovo sestrinski projekti, ali bi se moglo govoriti o sestrinskim podsustavima, ako je sve dio WM. -- Bugoslav 00:11, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Bolje oblikovanje

Sliku treba postaviti ispod sklonidbe, na taj način je natuknica puno bolje oblikovana. Primjer automobil. -- Bugoslav 02:45, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Stvar osobne percepcije. Meni bolje leži ako je slika iznad, jer u protivnom naslov "prijevodi" pobjegne dolje. --Ex13 08:38, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Slika s desne strane od sklonidbe ispuni prazninu koja se pojavljuje u većini članaka, pa kod manjih članaka cijela stranica djeluje skladno i ispunjena sadržajem (cigara ili oblak), dok kod riječi s više značenja ostavlja dodatno mjesto za slike koje idu uz te pojmove (pipa ili črnica). Na drugim je projektima također uobičajeno da se slika nalazi na vrhu stranice i zauzme prvo mjesto u desnom kutu. I meni je vizualno prihvatljivije da je na vrhu s desne strane i donji sadržaj "ne bježi" kod kraćih članaka. --Roberta F. 10:59, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Ako je to stvar osobne percepcije, onda nije bilo potrebe za takvom intervencijom kako je to kolega Ex13 načinio ovdje. U suprotnom, ako to nije stvar osobne percepcije, onda je ovo što radi Ex13 ne suradnja, već uređivački sukob.

"Prijevodi" nigdje ne bježe, oni su na dnu - kako se god okrenulo. Sadržaj uopće ne izgleda skladno, već nabacano, slika na desnoj strani, neke manje veličine a velika (veća) tablica u sredini izgleda nezgrapno.

Također baš kod primjera črnica se vidi kako tablica prekida niz slika, koje onda tek djeluju neuredno (nisu u slijedu), a prekinute su onom (puno većom) tablicom.

Ako sve ovisi o osobnoj želji, tada nasilje koje se provodi, mi se nimalo sviđa.

Također sve ovisi o veličini teksta kojega čitatelj gleda, ja pimjerice sadržaj "gledam" (tj. čitam) s najvećim povećanjem, i tada sadržaj djeluje osobito nezgrapno, osobito sklonidbena tablica (koja se još uvijek zove deklinacija.).

Naime ta se tablica "nalijepi" s lijeve strane na sliku i ne izgleda dobro ni kod većega ni kod manjega prikaza teksta.

Sadržaj nigdje ne bježi, a sve što je s desne strane treba biti na toj strani, bez "lijepljenja" na druge sadržaje, koji ovisno o veličini teksta (kad se gledaju, odnosno čitaju) djeluje nezgrapno.

Lijep pozdrav,

Bugoslav 16:45, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Dosada je više tisuća članaka napisano i uglavnom oblikovano prema već duže dogovorenom obliku, a kao primjer se navode skup, krava i list. Do takvog je oblikovanja došlo dužom raspravom i raznim primjerima. Trenutačno postoji još veliki broj članaka koji nisu usklađeni s tim dogovorenim oblikom izgleda članaka i predložaka koji se trebaju rabiti. Također još uvijek vlada nesklad s raznim predlošcima koje treba sve pronaći i promijeniti. Izmjena na automobilu je vraćena, jer nije u skladu s već dogovorenim izgledom stranica, a svaki suradnik može na svojim podstranicama isprobavati kako izgleda drukčiji raspored. Spominjanje osobne percepcije u ovom slučaju također govori da je npr. meni sasvim prihvatljiv već ustaljen oblik dosad pisanih članaka, a novopredloženi ne vidim kao dobro rješenje. --Roberta F. 17:04, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

U tim primjerima koje navodiš, ne postoji naznačeno gdje mora biti slika. Dakle Wječnik:Predlošci o tomu ne govori. Ja ću uvijek stavljati sliku ispod sklonidbe, jer nigdje nije određeno drugačije. To što oni primjeri koje navodiš možda rabe takav oblik, to uopće ne znači da je takav oblik bolji (ili lošiji) od onoga kojeg ja zagovaram.

Ako je čovjek došao čitati rječnik, sličice su sporedne, barem u hrvatskoj rječničkoj tradiciji.

Sklonidba treba imati prioritet.

Također, oni primjeri, tko ih je odredio kao primjere, prekomplicirani su i previše detaljni te odbijaju suradnike od rada. Nitko ne može postići takvo "savršenstvo", a da pritom jezike imenuje velikim početnim slovima i bez porabe odgovarajućih predložaka.

Ti primjeri trebaju biti najjednostavniji mogući, bez komplikacija.

Bugoslav 17:27, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Možemo li se zasada dogovoriti da na novim člancima koje suradnik započne nećemo jedni drugima premještati sliku (i time izazivati uređivački sukob premještanjem ispred ili ispod sklonidbe), niti premještati dodane koje se postavljaju u okviru dorade članka (npr. osim slike dodati prijevode, ispraviti podnaslove ili dodati primjere), dok se ne nađe rješenje kojim bi se uspjelo izbjeći "guranje" poglavlja s prijevodima na dno (ako je više od jedne slike ili malo sadržaja). Nemamo zaslone iste veličine, a čak i da stojimo pred istim zaslonom svatko može imati svoje mišljenje o izgledu, tako da je vizualni dojam više manje subjektivan, jedini je uvjet da slika/e treba/ju biti s desne strane, na Wikipedijinim je projektima uobičajeno da prva ilustracija dolazi na početak članka i desno, gdje je također rezervirano mjesto za infookvire i predloške. Radimo na projektu kakvog nije bilo prije, a program nam omogućava razne kombinacije s kojima se uobičajeni tiskani rječnici ne mogu uspoređivati. Ilustracija olakšava razumijevanje pojma (čitatelj može i samo uz pomoć slike shvatiti što znači neka riječ), ali naravno da prednost ima rječnički sadržaj i veliki broj članaka neće nikada imati ilustraciju. --Roberta F. 19:35, 16. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Zajednica se izjasnila o slikama prihvaćajući prijedlog oblikovanja rječničkoga članka list, koji prijedlog je iznio F.G.. Glasovanje je zaključio administrator Luka Krstulović 23. listopada 2007. u 10:42:10 (CET). Rječnički članak krava treba se uskladiti s tim, kad se već daje kao primjer u okviru Wječnikove upute o predlošcima. Nisam za strogoću, niti 'treniranje' iste, ali nisam ni za uklanjanje prinosa koje su načinili suradnici Wječnika koji su 'tu' bili prije nas. Kako god bilo rječnički članak krava treba uskladiti s postojećim dogovorom. -- Bugoslav 22:45, 1. ožujka 2011. (CET)

Tumačiš na pogrješan način. Molim te ne mijenjaj položaj slika u člancima. --Roberta F. 23:06, 1. ožujka 2011. (CET)

Kategorija:Esperanto vlastita imena

I just created a "wanted category": Kategorija:Esperantska vlastita imena. But then I realized there is already a Kategorija:Esperanto vlastita imena. I don't know which one should prevail and thus I cannot correct the wrong articles. Can someone please decide? Thanks, Malafaya 23:18, 26. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

You created the right one - the adjective regarding Esperanto in Croatian is esperantski. I recategorized the others to Kategorija:Esperantska vlastita imena. Thanks for the help ;-) — LukaKrstulović 13:28, 30. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Voting rights

Hi!

My apologies: I do not speak any Croatian.

I am sysop at nl.wikt and sometimes try to protect my language from what en.wikti makes of it, so I have a fair number of edits at the English site. I was rather appalled at the discussion there to restrict voting rights, even more when people claimed that their voting rights were zero at our Dutch site. (A blatant lie... The truth is: we had no restrictions because we seldom vote...) However, I think we need to change that and I am trying to get my fellow users to adopt regulations. I want to restrict voting right to legitimate users that have a minimum of 100 edits of which 10 at our own site. The rest can be at any other wiktionary provided they recognize our edits (I.e. not en.wiktionary.org.). Once we have agreed upon a policy I plan to announce it in the English Tea room. Perhaps they will get the message that they cannot just ignore the rest of us... nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf Jcwf 17:42, 30. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

On en wiktionary consensus is 58% majority which is disgrace of Wikimedia project, so I'm not surprised to hear what you are writing about. SpeedyGonsales 04:30, 31. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Hi Jcwf, your regulation sounds fair to me. Any contributor to wiktionary in general (meaning those 100 edits on any wikt you suggested) is familiar with the project concept and should therefore have the right to decide about things that concern him. What's happening on en.wikt right now is flagrant, and I'm appalled by the number of users that tolerate it. I agree that we should announce this matter on their project and appeal to the users there who generally disagree with it, but are overruled by the loud few. Best, — LukaKrstulović 15:24, 31. svibnja 2010. (UTC)

Kad su bila neka sretnija vremena i kad smo radili sa kreativnim i kooperativnim ljudima, a to je bilo prije nekih 5 godina, čini mi se da bi onda i 5 uređivanja bilo dovoljno i to od suradnika sa bilo kojeg projekta, jer su nekad na wikiprojektima bili samo radišni i marljivi ljudi, a bezobraznici su bili promptno sankcionirani i trajno udaljeni.
Danas moramo biti oprezni. Svi imamo iskustva sa en.wječnikom, koji je sušta suprotnost onome što je bila (barem kako sam ju ja doživio) nekadašnja en.wiki: nekad se moglo dogoditi da si bio u pravu, ali si naišao na veliko nerazumijevanje te te je na en.wiki moglo napasti 1000 ljudi i onda se bi se na poprištu redovito pojavio netko nepovodljivi (ako ne i više njih) koji je mislio svojom glavom i koji bi rekao gdje drugi griješe, prekorio ih i taj jedan umjesni je stvar dovodio u red do te mjere da te tih 1000 prvotnih protivnika nikad više nije gnjavilo, a sam predmet je bio povoljno riješen po tebe - jedino što si morao je pošteno misliti i djelovati i držati se reda. Glede velike baze govornika engleskog, očekivao sam isto i od en.wječnika, no umjesto toga nas je dočekala antiwiki, jedan antienciklopedijski projekt. Sve što jedan wikiprojekt ne bi smio nikako biti. Surađivao sam na mnogim drugim projektima, ali onako nešto nisam nigdje drugdje doživio.
Zato predlažem smisliti pametno rješenje radi toga da našu istinsku prijateljsku otvorenost, kooperativnost, kreativnost i visoku razinu međunarodne suradnje ne bi zloporabili zlonamjernici i destruktivci koji svojim radom ugrožavaju ugled i samo postojanje wikiprojekta.

HotCat

Nedavno sam dodao dodatak HotCat. Danas sam zamjenio s novim kodom, koji se već rabi na Zajedničkom poslužitelju, a omogućuje istovremenu promjenu nekoliko kategorija, kao što i omoguće prikazivanje podkategorija i nadkategorija. Mislim da nije komplicirano. Ostavio bih neko vrijeme ovdje na Wječniku kao test, a ukoliko sve bude ok, predložio bih njegovo postavljanje na Wikipediju. Prije svega zanimaju me komentari na prijevode i općenito kako to funkcionira lokalizirano na hrvatski. Hvala.--Ex13 22:04, 2. lipnja 2010. (CEST)

Normandija

Evo nas, upadamo u situacije prije naših znanstvenika i jezikoslovaca.
Imamo slučaj jednog romanskog jezika.
Normandski, normandijski ili normanski jezik?
Iz oblika Holandija tvorimo holandski, Island - islandski, Zeland - zelandski.
Po njima ispada da oblik -nd može dati pridjev -ndski, bilo da dolazi od -nd ili -ndija.
Od Britanija dolazi britanski, ne britanijski, Albanija - albanski, ne albanijski, Somalija - somalski.
Po tome ispada da bismo mogli zanemariti -ija i tvoriti pridjev po obliku ispred -ija.
No, Libija, Kenija daju libijski, kenijski.
Ako bismo išli na normanski, onda bi to moglo sugerirati i na srednjovjekovne Normane. Činjenica jest da se Normandija zove po njima, no oni u ono vrijeme još nisu bili govorili romaniziranim jezikom. Barem ne u ranijem srednjem vijeku.
Ima još jedna ludost u svezi s ovim jezikom koja vas sve može prevariti.
Kratica po ISO 639-2 za ovaj jezik jest roa.
No, Wikipedija za ovaj jezik je kratice nrm. A po ISO 639-3, to je neki jezik narom. Kubura2 07:26, 27. lipnja 2010. (CEST)

Normandija2

Kopao sam po Wječnicima. Francuski Wječnik za normandijski jezik rabi kraticu fra-nor.
Nemojte se povoditi za time što Wikipedija na normandskom ima kraticu nrm. Otu kraticu se je davno predvidilo za jezik narom. Kubura2 07:14, 22. srpnja 2011. (CEST)

Broj riječi

Nažalost samo ručno ili zbrojiti sve rječničke natuknice u svim potkategorijama nekog jezika. Primjerice za crnogorski jezik zbroj je 32. -- Bugoslav 15:28, 29. prosinca 2010. (CET)

Načinio sam Wječnik:Brojidba, po kazalima (indeksima) pojedinih prirodnih jezika. -- Bugoslav 19:09, 29. prosinca 2010. (CET)

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Hello Wikimedians, my name is Sam and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Croatian community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into Croatian and suggesting messages that would appeal to Croatian readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

Pozdrav Wikimedistima, ja sam Sam i radim za Zakladu Wikimedija za vrijeme prikupljanja sredstava 2010. g. Zadaća mi je biti osobom za vezu između hrvatske zajednice i Zaklade. Namjera nam je da ovogodišnje prikupljanje sredstava bude globalna suradnja - prepoznajemo to da poruke preko zaglavlja koje možda daju dobre rezultate u SAD-u, neće neophodno naići na dobar odziv kod međunarodnog čitateljstva.

Trenutačno tražim prevoditelje koji su voljni pridonositi ovom projektu tako što bi pomagali prevoditi i lokalizirati poruke na hrvatski jezik i sugerirati poruke koje bi naišle na dobar odziv kod hrvatskih čitatelja na Metinoj stranici posvećenoj prikupljanju sredstava. Počeli smo s postavljanjem na Metu i za dodavanje poruka u zaglavlje, statističku analizu i okupljanje dragovoljaca.
Rabite stranice za razgovor na Meti, razgovarajte s vašim lokalnim zajednicama, s ostalima, s nama, a također kao povratnu informaciju pridonosite na predloženim porukama. Iskreno se nadamo raditi s vama za vrijeme ovogodišnjeg prikupljanja sredstava. Vrlo bih cijenio ako bi netko preveo ovu poruku tako da svatko može razumjeti naše ciljeve i pridonijeti ovogodišnjoj kampanji.

interwiki

Jel mi to imamo problema sa dodavanjem interwikija prije je skoro odmah dodavao poveznice sad nedodaje.--Sokac121 12:21, 21. veljače 2011. (CET)

Ne znam. Najdjelatniji bot je izgleda poučen ovim iskustvom smanjio svoj prinos svjetskoj wječničkoj Zajednici. -- Bugoslav 17:54, 21. veljače 2011. (CET)

Strane riječi

Zamolila bih suradnike da ne miješaju obrazac predložaka za strane riječi i hrvatske. Ispravan primjer postavljenog članka je npr. članak Vaticano. --Roberta F. 13:28, 26. travnja 2011. (CEST)

Chorwatska, a ne Vaticano.

Bok Roberta,

Glede ove izmjene (od 26. travnja 2011. u 13:15:18) moram primijetiti kako je i dalje postavka (predlošci) {{definicija}}/{{prijevod}} a nedostaje {{vrsta riječi|jezik=hr|rod=m/ž/s}} (kôd i rod, rod jer su većinom imenice).

Također, riječi iz ostalih jezika mogu imati sinonime (unutar toga jezika), a iste treba opisati na hrvatskome jeziku, rabeći leksikografsko nazivlje hrvatskoga jezika. Rabeći hrvatske nazive za padeže i sl. Primjer думка. Što govorniku hrvatskoga jezika znači ako će dobiti ograničenu obavijest na hr:wikt, a ne razumije ukrajinski sustav predložaka i sl. Kod ukrajinskoga dolazi nam i pitanje pisma kojim se govornice i govornici ukrajinskoga služe, i sl.

Članak Vaticano nije ogledan primjer, već samo jedan od načina rada, taj članak (Vaticano) je nastao 17. lipnja 2010. u 11:42:44. To što nije uključen čitav niz predložaka, kao i poželjni predložak WProjekti to ne može biti 'norma'.

Mnogi jezici nemaju svoj Wikirječnik. I mogu se obraditi na hr.wiki u svoj svojoj potpunosti. Skraćeni opis jedino ima smisla u slučaju kad se riječ koja pripada hrvatskome jeziku isto piše kao i riječi koje pripadaju drugim jezicima - te uz taj osnovni uvjet imaju vrlo slična značenja i deklinacije. Ukoliko se razlikuju, a deklinacije se razlikuju i po nazivu padeža (i po poretku padeža) - onda svaka ta riječ može imati svoju deklinaciju.

Neki od starijih članaka su: Africa, abattoir, Blatt, koordynacja.

Suradnici su već navikli raditi po pralikovima: veni, vidi, vici, baglama, koza, krowa, amaro.

Kao dobar primjer uzeo bih brainstorming, i to ne kao primjer što sve treba kod stranih riječi pisati u rječničkim člancima na Wječniku, već kao primjer gdje je potrebno imati sve kao i kod riječi koje pripadaju hrvatskome jeziku.

Zašto? Jer se kod nas kaže oluja mozgova ili protok ideja, a podrijetlo te riječi je u hrvatskome jeziku različito od onoga koje je u engleskome. Dakle, govorniku hrvatskoga jezika treba objasniti podrijetlo riječi u više jezika, a ne samo objasniti podrijetlo hrvatske riječi. I to objašnjenje treba biti na hrvatskome.

Zašto govornik hrvatskoga jezika ne bi imao odmah pred sobom deklinaciju riječi gruszka i to po nazivima padeža na kakve je navikao. Naravno i u rasporedu padeža koji je u hrvatskome jeziku. Zob.

Zašto se riječ đed ne bi mogla opisati u svoj svojoj punini na hr.Wječniku? Što nedostaje riječi winda? Zašto ne bismo rabili i Predložak:pl-imenica-sklonidba? Wječnik obrađuje sve jezike, kako one koji imaju kôd Međunarodnoga ustroja za norme (MUN), tako i one jezike koji još nemaju kôd(ove). Primjerice cgr (crnogorski jezik).

A tek casus kao ogledni primjer, angelo, kri, igra, badem.

pl:laku noć

O kraćoj shemi za 'strane jezike' nije bilo govora...

{{izgovor}}
{{prijevod}}
{{vrsta riječi|jezik=kôd jezika}}
{{srodne riječi}}

... a to je vidljivo iz stanja u kojemu je Wječnik:Predlošci bio do 26. travnja 2011. u 13:15:18 (CEST).

Shema pokazuje kako su svi predlošci iz skupa Wječnik:Predlošci predviđeni za popunjavanje na projektu.

Dva su temeljna pokazatelja.

... kao što sam i naveo:

(1) {{definicija}}/{{prijevod}}

(2) Nedostaju {{vrsta riječi|jezik=hr|rod=m/ž/s}} (kôd i rod).

(3) U naslovu piše == riječ1 ({{jezik1}}) ==

Praktično i prijevode je moguće dodati i riječima koje su iz stranih jezika.

Wječnik je slobodni i otvoreni wikirječnik koji se piše hrvatskim jezikom o svim riječima koje postoje u svim jezicima. Wječnik nije rječnik kojemu je važnija riječ iz korpusa riječi hrvatskoga jezika (od svih ostalih riječi na svijetu). Jedino što se uzima kao norma je pisati hrvatsku riječ na početku rječničkoga članka, kod riječi koje se pišu istim nizom znakova. Primjerice riječ wiki na en:wikt. Sve ostale riječi (jezici) idu abecednim redom.

Moglo bi se još puno raspravljati o skraćivanju opisa na samo izgovor, prijevod, vrstu riječi i srodne riječi. Takav opis je ono što nije u skladu i ne treba takav skraćeni opis proglašavati normom.

Ne može se govoriti kako je predložak zastario dok se još uvijek rabi po člancima. Ukoliko se već tom izmjenom savjetuje suradnicima rabiti isključivo predložak {{deklinacija}} onda se ne može na drugome mjestu govoriti kako deklinacija nije potrebna kod riječi na drugim jezicima.

Izmjenu koja je načinjena uzimam samo kao prijedlog, te dok se o ovome ne dogovorimo molim da se taj prijedlog ukloni iz sadržaja Wječnik:Predlošci. Toliko za sad. -- Bugoslav 23:44, 29. travnja 2011. (CEST)

Sam predložak {{deklinacija}} ima u sebi prekidač za poljski jezik... Vidi kôd tog predloška.

Također Suradnik:Bugoslav/Chorwatska je unaprijeđen primjer onoga što je dopušteno po sustavu predložaka kako je opisan u Wječnik:Predlošci. Čak i prijevodi su dopušteni jer pokazuju srodnost među riječima različitih jezika. Ni ti prijevodi nisu ograničeni samo na postavljanje u riječi hrvatskoga jezika.

Tim prijevodima se može pokazati u kojim "susjednim" jezicima kakvo stanje, pogotovu ako je različito. Naravno, ako deklinacija ide isto, onda je vjerojatno i ne treba, ali u slučaju koza je deklinacija različita, a mogu biti i naglasci u pitanju. -- Bugoslav 19:46, 30. travnja 2011. (CEST)

Uostalom, prijedlog suradnika F.G. je dobio najviše potpore (u svakome smislu), dok je prijedlog suradnice Sanje Simat dobio puno manje potpore. Do sad smo i rabili puni sustav predložaka u svim jezicima i kod svih riječi. -- Bugoslav 01:47, 1. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Zanimljivo tumačenje: 15:15:13, 18. rujna 2007. (CEST) -- Bugoslav 01:20, 2. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Molbe

Molba za ukidanje zabrane premještanja

Molim da mi se ukine zabrana premještanja na hrvatskojezičnome izdanju Wječnika.

Obrazloženje:
(1) w:Wikipedija:Zabrana rada na temi se ne odnosi na Wječnik.
(2) Zabrana rada na temi se izriče kao mjera tek nakon upozorenja (primjerice {{žuti karton}}) i tek nakon zaštite spomenutoga sadržaja na neki ograničeni rok. Ako bi suradnik išao mijenjati sadržaj poslije isteka zaštite, a bez dogovora zainteresiranih suradnika, tek onda bi se moglo govoriti o t.zv. zabrani rada na temi, ali na Wikipediji – ne na Wječniku.
(3) Zabrana rada na temi kao što i sam naziv govori – odnosi se na neku pojedinačnu temu, a ne općenito na sve teme.
(4) Nije bilo kršenja pravila. w:Wikipedija:Premještanje (i w:Wikipedija:Arhiviranje) nije ograničeno bilo kakvim prethodnim postupcima.
(5) Rasprava u Konobi nije obvezna, raspravljati je poželjno kad postoji neki prijepor – ne o svakoj izmjeni.

Do sada pokušano: Razgovor s administratorom koji je postavio zabranu. (i) postavljanje zabrane, (ii) moj odgovor na postavljanje zabrane, (iii) odluka da zabrana i dalje vrijedi.

Molba za otključavanje stranice Wječnik:Predlošci

Molim da se ukloni zaštita gore navedene stranice. Zaštita je postavljena na razinu "sysop".

• (sad | pret) 2. svibnja 2011., 13:22:21; Roberta F. (Razgovor | doprinosi) m (1.386 bajtova) (Članak "Wječnik:Predlošci" je zaštićen: Učestalo vandaliziranje ([edit=sysop] (neograničeno) [move=sysop] (neograničeno)))

Zaštita stranice odmah na neograničeno dovoljno govori sama za sebe, kao i sažetak.

Obrazloženje:
(1) Stranica nije bila vandalizirana.
(2) O prijepornome sadržaju nije se pokušalo dogovoriti u Konobi (obavijest), a cijela se priča pokušala svesti na jedan primjer suradnika, administratora i birokrata Luke Krstulovića.
(3) Zaključavanje članka uz istodobni revert na zadnju vlastitu izmjenu.

Do sada pokušano: Razgovor s administratoricom koja je zaključala stranicu. Zajednica se o porabi svih predložaka dogovorila u raspravi koja je trajala oko jednoga mjeseca (30 dana), a svi predlošci bili su u uporabi od 4. studenoga 2007. do 2. svibnja 2011.. Podnio: Bugoslav 20:58, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Nije udovoljeno--Ex13 21:53, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Molba za uklanjanje izmjene oldid=100379 iz stranice Wječnik:Predlošci i izmjene oldid=95200 iz stranice {{hr-sprezanje}}

Molim uklanjanje ove izmjene i ove izmjene.

Obrazloženje:
(1) Izmjena je načinjena protivno dogovoru zajednice koji je postignut na Razgovor Wječnik:Predlošci. Sukladno tom dogovoru je ustanovljen sadašnji sustav predložaka (od 4. studenoga 2007.), o čemu je zajednica obaviještena i na Glavnoj stranici 8. studenoga 2007..
(2) Izmjenom se smanjuje opseg opisivanja svih ostalih riječi (osim hrvatskih), što veliku većinu tih riječi pretvara u mrve, a dovodi Wječnik u neravnopravan položaj prema ostalim Wječničkim projektima Wikimedije.
(3) Na Wječniku (danas, 20:58, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)) ima 4698 leksija hrvatskoga jezika te 18.649 rječničkih članaka sveukupno. Dakle, ima 13.951 leksija koje su označene naslovima drugoga reda (naslovima s dva znaka =). Velika većina tih leksija (od 13.951) obrađena je po dosadanjemu sustavu predložaka. Dakle, bilo kakve izmjene zahtijevale bi dodatan rad cijele Zajednice u usvajanju modela oko kojeg administratorica nije postigla konsenzus.
(4) Izmjenom je načinjen revert na prethodnu izmjenu koju je sačuvala administratorica.
(5) Slična je situacija i sa silnim predlošcima koji su proglašeni za zastarijele, iako su nastali prije nego što je ustanovljen današnji sustav predložaka. Ti se predlošci ne mogu smatrati za zastarijele, već kao temelj za izgradnju i na temeljima sadašnjega sustava predložaka. Te predloške je potrebno samo uskladiti u ponekom detalju, što ne umanjuje mogućnost njihove porabe. Naime, suradnici rabe predloške, a isti se predlošci mogu u bilo kojem trenutku doraditi i uskladiti s postojećim sustavom. Suradnici imaju pravo sprezati glagole. A onaj kome je do usklađivanja može isto bez problema raditi - a da pritom ne ograničava rad drugima.

Do sada pokušano: Razgovor u Konobi (4 pokušaja). Razgovor s administratoricom koja je unijela izmjenu. (a) moj upit, (b) odgovor, (c) moj odgovor na (b).

Podnio: Bugoslav 20:58, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Zaključno

Wječnik ima malo pravila. Wječnik:Vandalizam je jedno od njih. Dok se iz ovoga eseja (Wječnik:Ostati hladne glave kad se uređivanje zaoštri) jasno vidi kako je isti što se tiče Wječnika kao projekta samo esej. Imamo i vrlo jednostavno pravilo o glasovanju (Wječnik:Glasovanja), praktično bez uvjeta za glasovanje, osim registriranoga suradničkoga imena. Dakle, (A) Wječnikova pravila su drukčija od pravila i smjernica Wikipedije, (B) Wječnik ima drukčiji cilj i svrhu nego Wikipedija.

Potpuno je jasna situacija kako administratori ne mogu donositi pravila sami (niti jedan suradnik to može), a Wječnik:Projekt govori i o naprednome shvaćanju blokade kao sredstva koje treba imati ograničeni rok.

Isti sadržaj Wječnik:Projekt govori ovako o administratorima:

„Administratori se moraju redovito provjeravati stanje na projektu, održavati ga, riješavati probleme i vandalizme kada do njih dođe, itd... “

(―)

(bez ispravaka navoda)

Administratorstvo je prije svega dužnost prema projektu, a ne sredstvo kojim se postižu partikularni ciljevi.

Na Wječniku postoje {{žuti karton}} i {{crveni karton}}, a ne "vječne" zabrane.

Čak i ako bi se primjenjivala određena pravila s Wikipedije, svakome je jasno da Wječnik ima i svoja pravila. To posebno ističem, jer je Wječnik poseban projekt Wikimedije. Očekujem rješenje u razumnom roku, od onih koji su na ovome projektu djelatni članovi (sudionici). Hvala. -- Bugoslav 20:58, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Nemam ništa protiv suradnikovih prvih doprinosa ovdje na Wječniku. Međutim dugogodišnje prtljanje po projektima je premašilo mjeru dobrog ukusa. Suradnik je dobio crveni karton i blokiran je na 3 mjeseca.--Ex13 21:53, 10. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Ja sam šokiran, suradnik je blokiran samo zato što je dao molbu za isto tako nepotrebnu zabranu uređivanja predloška. Blokiran je jedan od manje od deset aktivnih suradnika među kojima nije administrator koji ga je blokirao. I ja dajem molbu da se odblokira Bugoslav, molba za otključavanje stranice Wječnik:Predlošci, Molba za ukidanje zabrane premještanja Bugoslavu, te Molbu za uklanjanje izmjene oldid=100379 iz stranice Wječnik:Predlošci i izmjene oldid=95200 iz stranice {{hr-sprezanje}}. Ovo je Wječnik a ne "w-projekti" suradnik se nemože blokirati ako ti se nesviđa njegov rad na wikipediji il nekom drugom projektu. Ovo je opće grubo kršenje temeljnih pravila Wikimedia Foundation, strašno.--Sokac121 13:30, 11. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Nema potrebe biti šokiran. Svojedobno su se ovdje tjednima vodile rasprave oko izgleda članaka, predložaka itd. A nije potrebno po 100ti put uvući se u Bugoslavove rasprave oko ničega, s tonu teksta, a minimalnim rezultatima i njegove ucijene da treba "raspravljati", nakon što on u dovoljnoj mjeri ispremješta sve i svašta i onda to treba vraćati. Bio bih stvarno glup kad bih zanemario tu činjenicu. A blok se tiče njegovog rada na Wječniku, jer u protivnom bih ga bez problema blokirao na svim projektima.--Ex13 16:47, 14. svibnja 2011. (CEST)

Bugoslave, ja ću molbom na molbu. Molim te, nemoj rabiti tipku "premjesti", barem ne neko vrijeme. Neke pute svojim zahtjevima i zahvatima umeteš ljude, ma ne znam kako dobru namjeru imao. Ne znan kako ti to uspije, ali je tako. Kubura2 01:18, 11. listopada 2011. (CEST)

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Referendum o filtru slika (hrvatski prijevod obavijesti)

Na prijedlog Wikimedijinog Vijeća povjerenika potaknut odlukom Zaklada Wikimedija održat će glasovanje kako bi se utvrdilo podržavaju li članovi zajednice stvaranje i uporabu osobnog filtra za slike, koji će omogućiti čitateljima filtriranje (ne prikazivanje) određenih vrsta slika pod njihovim suradničkim računom.

Dalje pojedinosti i obrazloženje biti će dostupni uskoro. Referendum je zakazan za 12.-27. kolovoza 2011. godine, te će se provoditi na poslužiteljima treće strane (isto kao kod glasovanja za Vijeće povjerenika). Detalji o referendumu, uvjeti za glasovanje itd. objavit će se na meti uskoro.

Kategorija "Filozofska terminologija"

Novi sam, pa samo da pitam, gledao sam malo kategorije, sve su manje-više naziva "Hrvatske imenice", "Crnogorski pridjevi". Uglavnom, mogu li napraviti kategoriju, recimo "Filozofska terminologija", pa dalje još podkategorije neke, ili su kategorije ograničene samo na neke tako generalne stvari? Jako mi se inače sviđa ovo, htio bih doprinijeti pokoju riječ, pa samo da me u vezi ovoga uputite, pa da počmem pisuckat. Born of Supernovae 21:00, 21. rujna 2011. (CEST)

Treba pisati natuknice. Ne preporučuje se novacima upuštati se odmah u kreiranje takvih stvariju kao što su kategorije. Kubura2 01:34, 23. rujna 2011. (CEST)

Ekvivalent na en.wikt bila bi ova kategorija, pod nazivom samo filozofija. Većina drugih rječnika nema tako specifičnu kategorizaciju. Dakle, kategorije su uredu, no ne treba ulaziti u kategorizaciju nalik na onu na wikipediji, jer Wječnik na taj način ne obuhvaća svoj sadržaj. [5] [6] — LukaKrstulović 21:10, 24. rujna 2011. (CEST)

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 01:12, 15. siječnja 2012. (CET)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 20:20, 5. lipnja 2012. (CEST)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is June 21.

To contact the mobile team, email mobile-feedback-llists.wikimedia.org.

Srpsko-hrvatski na engleskom Wiktionaryju

Lijep pozdrav svima,

pišem ovo zbog problema s hrvatskim na engleskoj verziji wječnika (en.wiktionary.org). Naime, ondje se provodi načelo da se hrvatske i srpske riječi navode pod srpsko-hrvatskim. Mislim da je jasno u čemu je problem ili nije?

Ovo je stranica gdje je tako odlučeno: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category_talk:Croatian_language

Molim vas kao urednike hrvatske verzije da nešto poduzmete u vezi toga; ponovno otvorite tu raspravu te dajte neke valjane argumente, a ne da se odluke donose na temelju toga koliko diletanata unosi riječi kao srpsko-hrvatske.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!

Localise your wiki logo

The official localisable Wiktionary logo

Hello! It was noted that Wiktionary in this language has not yet adopted a localised/translated logo: it's really a pity for a dictionary project!
We are trying to help Wiktionaries adopt a locally-adapted logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us. What we need from you is just the preferred translation of the name and motto, "Wiktionary" (if translated) and "The free dictionary": you can add them to the logo list, by editing it directly or commenting on the talk page; you can also add a note if you don't want the localised logo.
Of course, you can also create the logo and make the necessary requests on bugzilla yourself, if you prefer so.
Feel free to translate this message and to move/copy/forward it where appropriate; you can also reply on my talk. Thanks, Nemo 16:32, 3. studenoga 2012. (CET)

S obzirom da je sadržaj HJP-a kompiliran iz više tiskanih djelâ koja su još uvijek u prodaji, na kojima su radili mnogi još živući autori, upitna je legalnost tog čina.

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly.

Notifications

Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

(This message is in English, please translate as needed)

Greetings!

Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.

We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.

There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:

• Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki: m:Community Logo/Request for consultation.

This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.

The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.

We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Thanks, Geoff & Yana 22:13, 8. listopada 2013. (CEST)

Introducting Beta Features

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

• Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
• VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
• Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday)

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:01, 5. studenoga 2013. (CET)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

The Wikimedia legal team invites you to participate in the development of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.

The current trademark policy was introduced in 2009 to protect the Wikimedia marks. We are now updating this policy to better balance permissive use of the marks with the legal requirements for preserving them for the community. The new draft trademark policy is ready for your review here, and we encourage you to discuss it here.

We would appreciate if someone would translate this message into your language so more members of your community can contribute to the conversation.

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 07:47, 16. siječnja 2014. (CET)

Pametna Wikipedia

Wikipedia je baš pametna. Možeš u njoj sve naći i baš je zabavno. Wikipedia je svima (sigurno) potrebna, jer kad, naprimjer moraš naći nešto o toj i toj životinji, ne preporučujem ti dramu nego Wikipediu. Znam ja da ćeš u njoj svega naći.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.

Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make Wiktionary better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals.

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

• Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)
• Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
• Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
• Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)

Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!

Hope to have your participation,

--Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 20:44, 28. veljače 2014. (CET)

Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment

Hello all, in response to some community comments in the discussion on the amendment to the Terms of Use on undisclosed paid editing, we have prepared two optional changes. Please read about these optional changes on Meta wiki and share your comments. If you can (and this is a non english project), please translate this announcement. Thanks!

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

Pronunciation Recording

Visual workflow draft for pronunciation recording gadget; If you have trouble watching this video here, watch it on vimeo. A more extensive/explanative version is available.

Dear Wiktionary community!

About me

My name is Rainer Rillke, and I have been volunteering at Wikimedia Commons for 3 years now, gathering experience around media files. I've been always interested in how things work and how one could improve them.

The idea

One idea that appeared last Summer was allowing the recording of small chunks of speech, uploading that to Wikimedia Commons in the background and including this into a Wiktionary entry without having the hassle doing everything by hand or installing additional software. That idea led to the foundation of MediaWiki extension PronunciationRecording during the Google Summer of Code. However, this was not completed; instead development is stale for over 5 months now.

My proposal

To make this going to work, so Wiktionary has an immediate benefit of this feature, I would like to provide the work done so far as a gadget and add some more work in regard to usability. You can see my plan at m:Grants:IEG/Finish Pronunciation Recording. And more importantly, you can give me a hand, if you are interested by writing your comments.

Thanks and kind regards --Rillke (razgovor) 19:25, 7. travnja 2014. (CEST)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! It was noted that on this wiki you have less than 10 local files. Presumably, you therefore don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. However, this means that users here will experience a mostly broken and/or illegal uploading. I propose to

• have local upload restricted to the "Administratori" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

I'll get this done in one week from now.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list.
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 23:29, 23. svibnja 2014. (CEST)

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 23:54, 19. lipnja 2014. (CEST)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently adopted by global community consensus (your community received a notice about the discussion). According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. 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 new admin activity review here.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Damirux (administrator)
2. Dubaduba (administrator)
3. Ex13 (administrator)
4. F.G. (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, Rschen7754 22:36, 30. srpnja 2014. (CEST)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Change in renaming process

Part or all of this message may be in English. Please help translate if possible.

Single-user login (SUL) finalisation's goal is so that every Wikimedia editor has a single, recognized global account with one username across all projects. As you may know, after a long delay, it's now underway as an effort between bureaucrats, stewards, and Wikimedia Foundation engineers. This will also allow for development of cross-wiki tools like global notifications and watchlists. There is no set date for the completion of single-user login finalization at this time.

The process involves changing all rename processes into one global renaming process. The ability for local bureaucrats to rename users on this wiki will be turned off on Monday, 15 September 2014, as one of the first steps. Global renamers are in the process of being created to make sure projects and languages are represented by the time this occurs. I sent a note to every bureaucrat about this process three weeks ago with an invitation to participate and many have begun requesting to be a part of the group. Together with the stewards, the global renamers will be empowered to help editors work through the often difficult process of getting a global name.

In parting, visit Special:MergeAccount to unify your account if you have never done so. If your local pages about renaming still need to be updated, please do so and consider pointing people to m:SRUC for future rename requests, especially if this project does not have bureaucrats that hold global renamer permissions. If you have any questions, you can read more on the help page on Meta. You can also follow the technical progress on mediawiki.org. Contact me on Meta any time with questions as well. Thank you for your time.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 19:04, 26. listopada 2014. (CET)

Global AbuseFilter

Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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.

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)

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Posvojni oblici

Moramo poraditi na posvojnim oblicima kod jezika. Nisu "zulu pridjevi", nego "zuluski", niti "esperanto imenice", nego "esperantske imenice", nisu "volapuk vlastita imena", nego "volapučka..." i tako dalje. Kad naiđete na takve situacije, navedite ih ovdje ispod, pa ćemo to ispraviti.

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 (razgovor) 07:07, 24. srpnja 2015. (CEST)

Community Wishlist Survey

Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.

The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.

For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.

While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.

Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

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.

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

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!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

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

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:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

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!

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

Server switch 2016

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure 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 conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center 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 to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. 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 approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).

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 a code freeze for the week of 18 April.

No non-essential code deployments will take place.

This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:07, 17. travnja 2016. (CEST)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in the Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the soon for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you.

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Sačuvaj stranicu” button to “Objavi stranicu” and “Sačuvaj uređivanje”. “Objavi stranicu” will be used when you create a new page. “Sačuvaj uređivanje” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[22][23]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Objavi stranicu” and “Sačuvaj uređivanje”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Sačuvaj stranicu” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Sačuvaj stranicu” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Razjašnjavanje funkcije ovog gumba umanjit će taj problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Pojednostavljivanje korisničkog sučelja olakšat će rješavanje mogućih problema licenciranja i privatnosti.

Sve stranice pomoći i druga osnovna dokumentacija o uređivaju stranica morat će se ažurirati, na izvornoj wiki i drugdje. Na wiki stranicama, možete koristiti wikitext kod {{int:Publishpage}} i {{int:Publishchanges}} kako biste prikazali novu oznaku u odabranom jeziku suradnika. Za jezične postavke u postavkama vašeg računa, ovaj wikitext kod daje “Objavi stranicu” i “Sačuvaj uređivanje”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Wikidata for Wiktionary: let’s get ready for lexicographical data!

Hello all,

Sorry for writing this message in English, please feel free to translate it in your own language below.

The Wikidata development team will start working on integrating lexicographical data in the knowledge base soon and we want to make sure we do this together with you.

Wikidata is a constantly evolving project and after four years of existence, we start with implementing support for Wiktionary editors and content, by allowing you to store and improve lexicographical data, in addition to the concepts already maintained by thousands of editors on Wikidata.

We have been working on this idea for almost three years and improving it with a lot of inputs from community members to understand Wiktionary processes.

Starting this project, we hope that the editors will be able to collaborate across Wiktionaries more easily. We expect to increase the number of editors and visibility of languages, and we want to provide the groundwork for new tools for editors.

Our development plan contains several phases in order to build the structure to include lexicographical data:

• creating automatic interwiki links on Wiktionary,
• creating new entity types for lexemes, senses, and forms on Wikidata,
• providing data access to Wikidata from Wiktionary
• improving the display of lexicographical information on Wikidata.

During the next months, we will do our best to provide you the technical structure to store lexicographical data on Wikidata and use it on Wiktionary. Don’t hesitate to discuss this within your local community, and give us feedback about your needs and the particularities of your languages.

Information about supporting lexicographical entities on Wikidata is available on this page. You can find an overview of the project, the detail of the development plan, answers to frequently asked questions, and a list of people ready to help us. If you want to have general discussions and questions about the project, please use the general talk page, as we won’t be able to follow all the talk pages on Wiktionaries. If you don’t feel comfortable with English, you can write in your own language and hopefully someone will volunteer to translate.

Bests regards, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (razgovor) / MediaWiki message delivery (razgovor) 00:59, 14. studenog 2016. (CET)

New way to edit wikitext

Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.

We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.

Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.

All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatski omogući većinu beta-mogućnosti".

The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.

This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

• April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
• April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
• April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
• May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
• May 15–19 – Board vote checking
• May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

• Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
  • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

• Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
  • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee

Zaklada Wikimedija provest će testiranje svog sekundarnog podatkovnog centra u Dallasu. To će osigurati da su Wikipedija i ostali Wikimedijini wikiji dostupni čak i nakon katastrofe. Kako bismo provjerili radi li sve, Wikimedijin tehnološki odjel treba provesti planirani test. Test će pokazati mogu li pouzdano izvršiti prebacivanje s jednog na drugi podatkovni centar. Potrebni su mnogi timovi za pripremu testa i njihova dostupnost kako bi riješili nepredviđene probleme.

Sav će promet biti prebačen u sekundarni podatkovni centar u srijedu, 19. travnja 2017. U srijedu, 3. svibnja 2017., promet će se prebaciti natrag u primarni podatkovni centar.

Nažalost, zbog određenih ograničenja MediaWikija, sva uređivanja moraju stati tijekom ta dva prebacivanja. Ispričavamo se na ovom prekidu, i radimo na tome da bude što manji u budućnosti.

Tijekom kratkog vremenskog razdoblja, na svim wikijima moći ćete čitati članke, no ne ih i uređivati.

• Nećete biti u mogućnosti uređivati otprilike 20 do 30 minuta u srijedu, 19. travnja i u srijedu, 3. svibnja. Testiranje će započeti u 16:00 CEST
• Ako tijekom tog razdoblja pokušate uređivati ili spremiti izmjene, prikazat će vam se poruka pogreške. Nadamo se da nijedno uređivanje tijekom tog perioda neće biti izgubljeno, no ne možemo to garantirati. Ako vidite poruku pogreške, molimo pričekajte dok se sustav ne stabilizira. Tada biste trebali moći spremiti svoje uređivanje. Ipak, predlažemo da za svaki slučaj ipak napravite kopiju svojih promjena.

Ostali učinci:

• Pozadisnki zadatci izvršavat će se sporije, a neki se možda uopće ne izvrše. Nepostojeće poveznice osvježavat će se sporije od uobičajenog. Ukoliko stvorite članak na kojeg postoji poveznica, navedena poveznica ostat će crvene boje duže no inače. Neke dugotrajne skripte morat će biti zaustavljene.
• Očekujte zamrzavanje koda u tjednima 17. travnja 2017. i 1. svibnja 2017. Implementacije neesencijalnog koda neće se događati.

Ovaj se projekt, ukoliko je nužno, može odgoditi. Možete pročitati raspored na wikitech.wikimedia.org. Sve promjene bit će najavljene u rasporedu. Bit će još obavijesti o ovome. Molimo Vas obavijestite svoju zajednicu o ovome. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Cognate & automatic interlanguage links

Hello all,

(I'm sorry to write in English, feel free to translate in your own language below)

From April 24th, a new interlanguage link system will be deployed on all Wiktionaries. This extension, Cognate, automatically links the pages with the same title between the Wiktionaries. This means they no longer have to be added in the pages of the main namespace.

This new feature has been developed by Wikimedia Deutschland as the first step of the project Wikidata for Wiktionary, but does not rely on Wikidata.

To allow the feature to operate, all the former interlanguage links have to be removed from the wikitext. You can do this by using a bot, as it was done on Wikipedia in the past. If you leave them in they will overwrite the automatic links.

During the development we had a lot of discussions with Wiktionary editors to understand their needs, but it's possible that some automatic links don't work as you would expect. If you find some bugs or have suggestions for improvements, feel free to add a sub-task on Phabricator or add a message on this talk page.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

Beta Feature Two Column Edit Conflict View

From May 9, the Two Column Edit Conflict View will be available as a beta feature on all wikis. The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's and the conflicting changes to make it easy to copy and paste pieces of the text and resolve the conflict. The feature fulfils a request for a more user-friendly edit conflict resolution from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well!

Birgit Müller (WMDE) 16:42, 8. svibnja 2017. (CEST)

RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

I’m sorry to write this message in English. Please help us translating the full message here!

Short version: From June 20th, we are going to store the interwiki links of all the namespaces (except main, user and talk) in Wikidata. This will not break your Wiktionary, but if you want to use all the features, you will have to remove your sitelinks from wikitext and connect your pages to Wikidata.

Long version available and translatable here.

If you have any question or concern, feel free to ping me.

Short version: Since yesterday, we are able to store the interwiki links of all the Wiktionaries namespaces (except main, citations, user and talk) in Wikidata. This will not break your Wiktionary, but if you want to use all the features, you will have to remove your sitelinks from wikitext and connect your pages to Wikidata.

Important: even if it is technically possible, you should not link Wiktionary main namespace pages from Wikidata. The interwiki links for them are already provided by Cognate.

Enabling Page Previews

Enabling Page Previews

Hello,

Based on the positive results of a series of quantitative and qualitative tests, the Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable the Page Previews feature for this project.

Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. However, we realize the needs of the Wiktionary community will not be satisfied by the current implementation of the feature. We are interested in developing separate previews for Wiktionary that will display the wiktionary definition of an item, as well as an image, if available.

We'd like to invite some discussion around interest in this feature, as well as the requirements and elements that would make it useful for the Wiktionary community.

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Accessible editing buttons

The MediaWiki developers have been slowly improving the accessibility of the user interface. The next step in this transition will change the appearance of some buttons and may break some outdated (non-updated or unmaintained) user scripts and gadgets.

You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

• Comparison of old and new styles
• 
  Buttons before the change
• 
  Buttons after the change

However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.

This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 1 August 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

Columns for references

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik • Read this in another language

Hello,

At the request of Wikipedia editors, a new feature has been added to MediaWiki. Long lists of references (also called citations or footnotes) will automatically be displayed in columns. This will make it easier for most people to read the references, especially on narrow screens. Short lists of references will not be affected.

I plan to enable this new feature at this wiki on Monday, 11 September 2017. After that date, use the normal <references /> tag on any page with many references to see this feature. If you do not want columns used on that page, then use this wikitext code instead: <references responsive="0" />

If you believe that this new feature is not appropriate for this wiki, or if you need help adjusting templates, then please contact me at mw:Contributors/Projects/Columns for references. --User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Drage suradnice i dragi suradnici,

pokrenuo sam raspravu o prijedlogu usklađivanja stranice Predložak:Prijedlozi za administratore. Svi koji su načinili dosad (03:17, 21. rujna 2017. (CEST)) barem jednu izmjenu mogu sudjelovati u raspravi, po dobrim starim rječničarskim wječnikovim običajima. Hvala svima na sudjelovanju. Lijepi pozdrav, — Nesmir Kudilovič (razgovor) 3,17; 21. rujna 2017. (SEV)

Rečenica koju se predlagalo (posebno:trajna_poveznica/239816) ukloniti je uklonjena (posebno:razl/240040).

Ukoliko netko želi provesti glasovanje, slobodan je to učiniti po postojećim pravilima wječnika o glasovanju (Wječnik:Glasovanja).

S obzirom na to da o uklonjenoj rečenici nije bilo provedenoga glasovanja, ta je rečenica uklonjena jer onemogućava funkcioniranje wječnika kao projekta. Nemoguće je očekivati funkcioniranje manjega projekta, kao što je wječnik, a na način da samo dvojica suradnika mogu glasovati za administratore (zbog promijenjenih pravila glasovanja o administratorima na wikipediji), a kako je podrobno objašnjeno u Prijedlogu. — Nesmir Kudilovič (razgovor) 19,31; 16. siječnja 2018.

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.

Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.

For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.

The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

Hvala Vam!

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, 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 log actions for more than 2 years):

1. User:Ex13
2. User:Luka Krstulović

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, --MarcoAurelio (razgovor) 12:47, 17. travnja 2018. (CEST)

I would like to retain my rights. Thank you --Ex13 (razgovor) 16:18, 17. travnja 2018. (CEST)

I would like that both users, Ex13 and Luka Krstulović retain their rights. Kubura2 (razgovor) 20:28, 24. travnja 2018. (CEST)

Rights kept for both of them. --MarcoAurelio (razgovor) 13:00, 28. svibnja 2018. (CEST)

Tell us what you think about the automatic links for Wiktionary

Hello all,

(Sorry for writing in English. Feel free to translate this message below.)

One year ago, the Wikidata team started deploying new automatic interwiki links for Wiktionaries. Today, the links for the main namespace are automatically displayed by a Mediawiki extension, and the links for other namespaces are stored in Wikidata. You can find the documentation here (feel free to help translating it in your language).

We would like to know if you encountered problems with the system, if you would have suggestions for further improvements. This could be for example:

• Some automatic links don’t work as expected
• Some problems you encountered with entering links (for non-main namespace) in Wikidata
• Some new features you’d like to have, related to links

To give feedback, you have two options:

• Let a message on this talk page
• Let a message here. If you do so, please mention me with the {{ping}} template, so I can get a notification.

Our preferred languages are English, French and German, but you can also let a message in your own language if you feel more comfortable with it.

I’m looking forward for your feedback! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 12:23, 24. travnja 2018. (CEST)

AdvancedSearch

From May 8, AdvancedSearch will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The feature enhances the search page through an advanced parameters form and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible for everyone. AdvancedSearch is a project by WMDE Technical Wishes. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!

Lexicographical data is now available on Wikidata

Hello,

Sorry for writing in English. Feel free to translate the content of this message below.

After several years discussing about it, and one year of development and discussion with the communities, the development team of Wikimedia Germany has now released the first version of lexicographical data support on Wikidata.

Since the start of Wikidata in 2012, the multilingual knowledge base was mainly focused on concepts: Q-items are related to a thing or an idea, not to the word describing it. Starting now, Wikidata stores a new type of data: words, phrases and sentences, in many languages, described in many languages. This information will be stored in new types of entities, called Lexemes, Forms and Senses.

The goal of lexicographical data on Wikidata is to provide a structured and machine-readable way to describe words and phrases in multiple languages, stored in a same place, reusable under CC-0. In the near future, this data will be available for Wiktionaries and other projects to reuse, as much as you want to.

For now, we’re at the first steps of this project: the new data structure has been released on Wikidata, and we’re looking for people to try it, and give us feedback on what is working or not. Participating to this project is the opportunity for you to have a voice in it, to make sure that your needs and requests are taken in account very early in the process, and to start populating Wikidata with words in your language!

Here’s how you can try lexicographical data on Wikidata:

• First of all, if you’re not familiar with the data model, I encourage you to have a look at the documentation page. If you’re not familiar with Wikidata at all, I suggest this page as a start point.
• You can also look at the Lexemes that already exists (search features will be improved in the future).
• When you feel ready to create a word, go on d:Special:NewLexeme.
• If some properties that you need are missing, you can suggest them on this page (if you’re not sure how to do it, just let a message on the talk page and someone will help you).
• The main discussion page is d:Wikidata:Lexicographical data. Here, you can ask for help, suggest ways to organize the data, but also leave feedback: if you encounter any bug or issue, let us know. We’re looking especially to know what are the most important features for you to be worked on next.

In any case, feel free to contact me if you have a question or problem, I’ll be very happy to help.

Cheers, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 14:20, 23. svibnja 2018. (CEST)

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS

(Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik)

Hi all,

I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!

Thanks!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS

(Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik)

Hi all!

To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.) A new user group, interface-admin, has been created. Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).

You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.

Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).

Thanks!

Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard

Screenshot of the Hub view

Sorry for writing this message in English. Feel free to help translate it below.

Hello all,

A few months ago, we asked you for feedback about Cognate, the system allowing interwikilinks between Wiktionaries (on main namespace). Several community members gave some suggestions, one of them was to provide statistics about these interwikilinks.

The Wikidata team is pleased to present you the Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard, a website presenting a lot of interesting information about how Wiktionaries are connected to each others. You can find there, for example:

• the most interlinked Wiktionary entries not having a page on your Wiktionary
• the number of interlinks between each possible pair of Wiktionaries
• visualizations of the relationships between different Wiktionaries

To learn more about the tool, you can have a look at the documentation (please help us translating it in your language!). The interface of the tool itself can also be translated in other languages by using this page.

If you find a bug, please let a comment on this Phabricator task or ping me onwiki. Thanks a lot, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 15:08, 14. kolovoza 2018. (CEST)

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now

(Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Administratori sučelja) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

Thanks!

Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October

Read this message in another language • Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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 to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. 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 Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
• 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 weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. 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. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Example of improvements

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.

The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

VAŽNO: Pregled aktivnosti administratora (2019)

Pozdrav,

Pravila koja određuju uklanjanje »osobitih prava« (administrator, birokrat, itd.) donesena su konsenzusom globalne zajednice 2013.

U skladu s tim pravilima, stjuardi nadgledaju aktivnosti administratora na svim wikijima Zaklade Wikimedija koji nemaju pravila o neaktivnosti. Koliko nam je poznato, na vašem wikiju ne postoji formalni proces skidanja »naprednih prava« neaktivnim suradnicima. To znači da će se stjuardi pobrinuti za to u skladu s pregledom administratorskih aktivnosti.

Ustanovili smo da sljedeći suradnici zadovoljavaju kriterije neaktivnosti (bez uređivanja i bez radnji zapisanih u evidencijama tijekom 2 ili više godina):

1. Luka Krstulović

Ovi će suradnici uskoro biti obaviješteni sa zamolbom da pokrenu raspravu zajednice, ako žele zadržati neka ili sva prava. Ako pojedini suradnici ne odgovore, stjuardi će ukloniti njihova prava.

Ako zajednica želi donijeti vlastita pravila o neaktivnosti koja bi bila iznad globalnih, ili želi donijeti odluku o ovim neaktivnim nositeljima prava, ili već postoje pravila koja su nam promakla, molimo obavijestite stjuarde na Meta-Wikiju tako da ne nastavljaju s nadgledanjem prava na vašem wikiju.

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 10:03, 16. kolovoza 2019. (CEST)

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Pozdrav. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 15:15, 26. veljače 2020. (CET)

Feedback on movement names

Pozdrav. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik if necessary. Hvala Vam!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 21:39, 2. srpnja 2020. (CEST)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Objavljujemo novi wiki projekt! Dobrodošla, Apstraktna Wikipedija

Pozdrav svima,

Čast mi je predstaviti Apstraktnu Wikipediju, novi projekt koji je jednoglasno odobren od Povjerenstva zaklade Wikimedija. Apstraktna Wikipedija nudi novi način višejezičnog stvaranja enciklopedijskog sadržaja; omogućuje da više urednika i više čitatelja razmjenjuju više znanja na više jezika. Cilj je olakšati višejezičnu saradnja na našim projektima, poboljšanje doživljaja čitateljima na svim jezicima, inovira  u besplatnom znanju povezujući jake strane našeg pokreta stvarnjem nečeg novog.

Ovo je naš prvi novi projekt u više od sedam godina. Apstraktna Wikipedija je predložena u lipnju 2020   od strane Zdenka Vrandečića (Denny) nakon godina priprema i istraživanja, što je dovelo do detaljnog plana i žive diskusije u zajednicama Wikimedija.

Znamo da energija i kreativnost zajednice često nailaze na jezičke prepreke, a informacije koje su dostupne u jednom jeziku možda nisu dostupne u Wikipedijama drugih jezika. Apstraktna Wikipedija će nalikovati na Wikipedije, ali će biti izgrađena na snažnim i jezično nezavisnim konceptualnim modelima Vikipodataka. Cilj je da volonteri kreiraju i održaju članke u našem poliglotskom Wiki svjetu.

Projekat će omogućiti dobrovoljcima da sastave osnove članka koristeći riječi i entitete sa Wikipodataka. Budući da Wikipodaci koriste konceptualne modele s namjerom univerzalnosti na svim jezicima, trebalo bi biti moguće koristiti i proširiti ove „blokove znanja” radi stvaranja modela za članke koji takođe imaju univerzalnu vrijednost. Volonteri će pomoću koda moći da prevode ove „apstraktne članke” na svoje jezike. U slučaju uspijeha, svi će moći čitati o bilo kojoj temi iz Wikipodataka na svom maternjem jeziku.

Kao što možete i zamisliti, ovaj projekat će zahtijevati mnogo programerskog napora i saradnje između Wikimedijaca. Kako bi se projekat sproveo, Deni će se u srpnju pridružiti Zakladi kao uposlenik i voditi će ovu inicijativu. Možda znate da je Deni tvorac Wikipodataka, dugogodišnji član zajednice, bivši član osoblja Wikimedije Njemačke i bivši povjerenik Zaklade  . Izuzetno smo uzbuđeni što će Deni (s timovima Zaklade vezanim za proizvode, tehnologiju i zajednicu) uložiti svoje vještine i stručnost za rad na ovom projektu.

Važno je istaknuti da je ovo eksperimentalni projekt, te da  svaka zajednica Wikipedije ima različite potrebe. Ovaj projekt može nekim zajednicama ponuditi velike prednosti. Neke druge zajednice se mogu vjerovatno manje angažirati. Svaka jezična zajednica Wikipedije ima pravo da bira i moderire da li će i na koji način koristiti sadržaj s ovog projekta.

Uzbuđeni smo što ovaj novi wiki projekat ima mogućnost napretka jednakosti znanja povećanjem pristupa istom. Takođe nas poziva da razmotrimo kritična pitanja o tome kako se gradi znanje i ko učestvuje u tome. Radujemo se što ćemo sarađivati sa zajednicama u cilju razmišljanja o ovim važnim pitanjima.

Puno je posla pri početku oblikovanja plana Apstraktne Wikipedije u bliskoj saradnji s našim zajednicama. Pozivam vas da se priključite tako što ćete otići na stranicu projekta i pridružiti se novoj dopisnoj listi. Prepoznajemo da je Apstraktna Wikipedija ambiciozna, ali takođe prepoznajemo njen potencijal. Pozivamo vas sve da nam se pridružite na novom, neistraženom putu!

Vaša,

Katherine Maher (izvršna direktorica zaklade Wikimedija)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

Important: maintenance operation on September 1st

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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 to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 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, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
• 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 September 1st, 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. Please share this information with your community.

Važno: operacije održavanja 1. rujna 2020.

Pročitajte ovu poruku na drugome jeziku • Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Wikimedijina Zaklada testira sekundarni podatkovni centar. Time se želi osigurati da Wikipedija i drugi wikimedijini wikiji mogu ostati dostupni čak i poslije nepogode. Da bi osigurali da je sve ispravno i radi, tehnički odjel Wikimedije provodi planirani test. Taj će test pokazati je li moguć naizmjenični rad ovih podatkovnih centara. Potreban je rad više ekipa ljudi za testiranje i otklanjanje nepredviđenih problema.

Sav će promet biti preusmjeren na sekundarni podatkovni centar u utorak, 1. rujna 2020. godine.

Nažalost, uslijed ograničenja u softveru MediaWiki, nije moguće uređivanje tijekom ove zamjene. Ispričavamo se na smetnji, radimo na tome da sljedeći put zamjena bude brža.

Moći ćete čitati wikistranice, ali uređivanje ne će biti moguće kraće vremensko razdoblje.

• Ne ćete biti u mogućnosti uređivati do najviše sat vremena u utorak, 1. rujna 2020. godine. Test počinje u 14:00 UTC/KSV (tj. u 16 sati po srednjoeuropskom ljetnom vremenu (CEST/SEV)).
• Ako pokušate uređivati, bit će Vam prikazana poruka o pogrješci. Nadamo se da Vaša uređivanja u to vrijeme ne će biti izgubljena, ali ne jamčimo to. Ako vidite poruku o pogrješci, molimo Vas, pričekajte dok sve ne proradi na uobičajen način. Tada ćete moći snimiti Vaše uređivanje. Ali, preporučujemo da napravite kopiju Vaših uređivanja, za svaki slučaj.

Drugi učinci:

• Pozadinski poslovi mogu biti sporiji ili zaustavljeni. Crvene poveznice mogu ne biti ažurirane jednako brzo kao inače. Ako stvorite članak koji je povezan negdje drugdje, poveznica će ostati crvena dulje nego je uobičajeno. Skripte koje se dugo izvršavaju bit će zaustavljene.
• Ne će biti promjena programskoga kôda mediawikija u tjednu s 1. rujnom 2020. godine. Ne će biti manjih, nebitnijih popravaka mediawikija.

Projekt može biti odgođen ako to bude nužno. Raspored možete pročitati na poslužitelju wikitech.wikimedia.org. Sve promjene bit će objavljene prema rasporedu. Bit će još nekoliko obavijesti o ovoj zamjeni. Molimo Vas, izvijestite Vašu zajednicu o ovome.
