Wothłosowanje wo sortěrowanju

Witajće! Sym so pola wuwiwarjow MediaWikija naprašował, hač bychu snano modus awtomatiskeho alfabetiskeho sortěrowanja w našej rěčnej wersiji tak změnić móhli, zo bychmy nastawki w kategorijach abo tež pola awtomatisce sortěrowacych so tabulkow přichodnje w prawym alfabetiskim porjedźe widźeć móhli (Łužica před Lubijom atd.). Woni to principielnje móža, chcedźa pak rady někajki rozsud našeho zhromadźenstwa widźeć. Potajkim: Štó je za to? -- j.nyča+/- 25. februara 2015, 18:09 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Bohužel njeje so poradźiło, prawe sortěrowanje zawjesć (je pak nětko lěpje hač dotal), dokelž w aktualnym Unicode-standardźe zapisane sortěrowanje našemu njewotpowěduje. Dyrbimy potajkim najskerje hišće chwilku čakać. -- j.nyča+/- 7. apryla 2015, 19:00 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

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

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

Feedback request: VisualEditor's special character inserter

I apologize for writing in English. Please translate this message so that all of your editors can read it. Thank you!

Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the Editing team at WMF wants to know what you think about VisualEditor and its new ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool. This change will affect all users on about 50 Wikipedias, including your Wikipedia. Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.

The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following the directions at mediawiki.org.

 
New design for the special character inserter. The red arrow points to the button for the tool, which is marked with Ω (omega).

To test the ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool, please:

  1. Opt-in to VisualEditor by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and choosing "VisualEditor". Save your preferences.
  2. Edit any article or your user page in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "Wobdźěłać" tab at the top of the page. See the mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide for information on how to use VisualEditor.
  3. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know what you think about this new design. It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible. You may leave your comments in any language.

When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at this wiki. If you want to help prepare, please read the advice on mediawiki.org.

Thank you, Elitre (WMF) (talk) 12. měrca 2015, 19:33 (CET)[wotmołwić]

VisualEditor coming to this wiki

 

Hello again. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!

VisualEditor is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th. VisualEditor is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing [[ to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it; you can test VisualEditor right now. To turn it on, select "Beta" in your preferences. Choose "VisualEditor" and click save.

Now, when you press the "Wobdźěłać" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "Žórłowy tekst wobdźěłać". (After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor.) For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

More information about preparing for VisualEditor is posted here.

  • It's easier to add templates if you've added TemplateData instructions to them.
  • Please help translate the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user guide, go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "Tutu stronu přełožić". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations. To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
  • We need your help to improve the software! Please let us know if you find any problems. You can report issues in Phabricator, the new bug tracking system or on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues affecting your project, please leave a note on my talk page. If it's an emergency (like an unexpected bug causing widespread problems), reach out to James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org or on IRC in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel.


Thank you, and happy editing! --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 19. měrca 2015, 20:38 (CET)[wotmołwić]

VisualEditor now active here

 
Click this icon while in VisualEditor for a link to the User Guide.

Hello again (and again, apologies for using English on this page. Please do translate my message, if you can!).

As some of you have noticed, this Wikipedia now has VisualEditor (VisualEditor or "VE") enabled for all users. There are now two tabs for editing: "Wobdźěłać" and "Žórłowy tekst wobdźěłać". Click "Wobdźěłać" to use VisualEditor. Click "Žórłowy tekst wobdźěłać" to edit using wikitext markup.

All edits using VisualEditor will be tagged with "Tag:VisualEditor" in recent changes, watchlists, and page histories. To access the User Guide for VisualEditor, click on the "(?)" icon in VisualEditor's toolbar. If you wish to disable VisualEditor, this can be done under "Editing" in your preferences.

Please report any software "bugs" or errors you find at MediaWiki’s VisualEditor Feedback page. Translations for the user interface and its help guide are still needed: you can learn how to support your community with this and other tasks at this instructions page. Please contact me if you need further help though. Happy editing, User:Elitre (WMF) (talk) 30. měrca 2015, 17:09 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 10. apryla 2015, 18:12 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

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

 

Greetings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Postersession auf der WikiCon 2015

Hallo zusammen.

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

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

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

Interessant wären zum Beispiel Informationen zu folgenden Punkten:

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

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

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

Viele Grüße, --Holder (diskusija) 2. junija 2015, 14:28 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

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)

Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon

 

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon.

It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor. In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page on TranslateWiki.

The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store[1]. Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualify[2].

If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.

Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be confirmed in time.

You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.

You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.

Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

  1. You can choose between any short-sleeve shirt, or other items for the same value.

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 (diskusija) 24. julija 2015, 07:08 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?

 

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

Why get involved?

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

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

(Sorry for writing in English)

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

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

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

How to use it, once it is enabled:

Reimagining WMF grants report

(My apologies for using English here, please help translate if you are able.)

Last month, we asked for community feedback on a proposal to change the structure of WMF grant programs. Thanks to the 200+ people who participated! A report on what we learned and changed based on this consultation is now available.

Come read about the findings and next steps as WMF’s Community Resources team begins to implement changes based on your feedback. Your questions and comments are welcome on the outcomes discussion page.

With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 28. septembra 2015, 18:56 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

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.

Harassment consultation

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

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

Regards, Community Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation

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

Hi everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your participation!

Notice from meta.wikimedia.org:

In attention to the stewards I am requesting bot status for several bot jobs stated at w:de:WP:Bots/A#Aktualisierungshilfe für sorbische Wikipedia. Two of three hsb.admins requested there help by a bot. So I am looking for a bot flag for hsb.wiki. Thank you ...

(deine Erläuterungen) Doc Taxon (talk) 14:55, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Is there a discussion on hsbwiki? --MF-W 16:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
the Admins of hsb.wiki user:J budissin and user:Tlustulimu discussed the requests here, but they are of the opinion, that this should be very okay. Doc Taxon (talk)
@MF-Warburg: Um genau zu sein war ich es, der um den Bot-Einsatz gebeten hat, um die Umstellung auf eine neue Infobox und ein paar Aktualisierungen bzw. Anpassungen durchzuführen, die ansonsten zu zeitaufwändig wären. Große Diskussionen gibt es bei fünf bis sechs regelmäßigen Mitarbeitern ohnehin kaum. Ich gehe auch nicht davon aus, dass Doc Taxon die Botflag irgendwie missbrauchen würde, ansonsten wird er halt gesperrt :) Grüße, j.budissin 20:51, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Doc Taxon and j.budissin, we cannot give a flag based on a discussion on another project (de.wiki). Please start a local discussion on hsb.wiki. If there is no specific location for this, put it in the village pump or another public place. If people agree then we can give the flag. I see 3 active editors on hsb.wiki today. You should be able to get feedback. All the best, Taketa (talk) 11:20, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

@J budissin, Tlustulimu: The stewards want a discussion on the project page itself, as it is hsb.wiki. So I forwarded the discussion onto this place to discuss the topic. Thank you very much Doc Taxon (diskusija)

@J budissin, Tlustulimu: Dobra wěc, kotruž staj nastorčiłoj. Njewěm, što so tu diskutować dyrbi. Ja ju podpěram! --Mikławš+/- 18. decembra 2015, 14:11 (CET)[wotmołwić]
@Mikławš: Is it possible to translate your opinions into German or English for me? Doc Taxon (diskusija)
@Doc Taxon: Mikławš hatte in Obersorbisch geschrieben: „Gute Sache, welche die beiden angeregt haben. Ich weiß nicht, was hier diskutiert werden soll. Ich unterstütze sie!“ -- Das „sie“ bezieht sich bei ihm auf „Sache“.-- Předłoženy wot --Tlustulimu (diskusija) 18. decembra 2015, 17:49 (CET)[wotmołwić]
@Tlustulimu: Danke! @Doc Taxon: Die Übersetzung ist korrekt.--Mikławš+/- 18. decembra 2015, 21:41 (CET)[wotmołwić]
@Taketa, Doc Taxon: Dann auch hier nochmal: Als eigentlicher Anfragesteller unterstütze ich die Bitte von Doc Taxon um die Botflag selbstverständlich. Auf lange Sicht sollten wir uns vermutlich überlegen, uns selbst einen Bürokraten zu wählen, wenn es ohne so kompliziert ist. -- j.nyča+/- 19. decembra 2015, 13:46 (CET)[wotmołwić]

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:

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!
-The Wikimedia Foundation Communications team
