WikiProject Language samples: Help needed!
[uredi kôd]_-_Google_Art_Project_-_edited.jpg)
Hello,
Sorry for writing English – I only speak English and German. I search for someone with Croatian as their mother language, willing to help me with my project WikiProject Language samples:
The Wikipedia exists in many languages, in which we have articles about many languages. We already have a lot of high quality Wikipedia-articles about languages in which you can find information about the number of speakers, the vocabulary, stem and grammar of the language. But often one very natural question about a language is still left unanswered: "How does this language sound?". This is what I want to change with this project – I collect audio recordings of the same text (first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) in as many languages as possible. Therefore I hope for someone of you could make a recording of the following text and upload the audio-file to Wikimedia Commons:
"Članak 1.
Sva ljudska bića rađaju se slobodna i jednaka u dostojanstvu i pravima. Ona su obdarena razumom i sviješću i trebaju jedna prema drugima postupati u duhu bratstva."
You find some tips for recording on the project page. Also you could include the recordings already existing (~60!) to the articles of your Wikipedia or help me organize more language recordings. Thank you! -- MichaelSchoenitzer (razgovor) 14:29, 6. kolovoza 2017. (CEST)
Share your thoughts on the draft strategy direction
[uredi kôd]Bok! I'm sorry that I'm not writing in Croatian. Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik!
At the beginning of this year, we initiated a broad discussion to form a strategic direction that will unite and inspire people across the entire movement. This direction will be the foundation on which we will build clear plans and set priorities. More than 80 communities and groups have discussed and gave feedback on-wiki, in person, virtually, and through private surveys[strategy 1][strategy 2]. We researched readers and consulted more than 150 experts[strategy 3]. We looked at future trends that will affect our mission, and gathered feedback from partners and donors.
In July, a group of community volunteers and representatives from the strategy team took on a task of synthesizing this feedback into an early version of the strategic direction that the broader movement can review and discuss.
The first draft is ready. Please read, share, and discuss on the talk page. Based on your feedback, the drafting group will refine and finalize this direction through August.

- Kubura: no, that's not a strategy, it's an idea. An organizational strategy is a distinctive, specific term.

RfC regarding "Interlinking of accounts involved with paid editing to decrease impersonation"
[uredi kôd]There is currently a RfC open on Meta regarding "requiring those involved with paid editing on Wikipedia to link on their user page to all other active accounts through which they advertise paid Wikipedia editing business."
Note this is to apply to Wikipedia and not necessarily other sister projects, this is only to apply to websites where people are specifically advertising that they will edit Wikipedia for pay and not any other personal, professional, or social media accounts a person may have.
Please comment on meta. Thanks. Send on behalf of User:Doc James.

Discussion on synced reading lists
[uredi kôd]Discussion on synced reading lists
Hello,
.png)
To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose.
Background
[uredi kôd]In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.
The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent technical RfC has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.
Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future.
Why not watchlists
[uredi kôd]Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways:
- Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
- Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions.
- The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.
- By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
- Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.
More information can be found on MediaWiki.org where feedback and ideas are welcome.
Thank you

Wikimedia Movement Strategy phase 2, and a goodbye
[uredi kôd]Zdravo,
As phase one of the Wikimedia movement strategy process nears its close with the strategic direction being finalized, my contractor role as a coordinator is ending too. I am returning to my normal role as a volunteer (Tar Lócesilion) and wanted to thank you all for your participation in the process.
The strategic direction should be finalized on Meta late this weekend. The planning and designing of phase 2 of the strategy process will start in November. The next phase will again offer many opportunities to participate and discuss the future of our movement, and will focus on roles, resources, and responsibilities.
Hvala, SGrabarczuk (WMF) (razgovor) 23:41, 30. rujna 2017. (CEST)

[uredi kôd]New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
[uredi kôd]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!

User group for Military Historians
[uredi kôd]Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Migration vocabulary translations
[uredi kôd][Sorry for the English]
On Wikidata there is currently a campaign to translate the "label", "description" and label of the "subclass" statement for 61 terms relating to Migration. This is part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, and Europeana is running a campaign focused on personal stories of migration. Part of that project is to create a useful and multilingual vocabulary of migration-related terms that GLAMs can use in their metadata.
At the time that I write this message Croatian is one of the European Union official languages with the lowest % translation of these 61 terms in Wikidata - from practical things like "visa" and "map" to concepts like "asylum seeker" and "colonisation".
It would be really helpful if someone from the SK community could help improve this statistic :-) Please visit Wikidata:Europeana migration vocabulary to participate. Thank you. Wittylama (pogovor) 17:33, 14. marec 2018 (CET)

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
[uredi kôd](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!

Request for administrative action - Moamer Kasumović
[uredi kôd]Hi, sorry for posting in English (and to probably wrong place, but I did not find your administrator noticeboard, if you want to help other cross wiki patrolers, you can create redirect WP:AN to appropriate page where users can request something from administrators, like I'm doing now). I'm here during my cross wiki patrolling activity and I noticed https://hr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moamer_Kasumovi%C4%87&diff=5121126&oldid=5062675. I think this can be considered as libellious information and I'd like an administrator to hide the revision. Please note I do not watch this page. Should you want my reply, please add a link to my local userpage, I will receive a notification. Thank you for understanding and help.

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now
[uredi kôd](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!

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)

The GFDL license on Commons
[uredi kôd]This has been posted here because your wiki allows local file uploads. Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik.
Commons will no longer allow uploads of photos, paintings, drawings, audio and video that use the GFDL license and no other license. This starts after 14 October. Textbooks, manuals and logos, diagrams and screenshots from GFDL software manuals that only use the GFDL license are still allowed. Files licensed with both GFDL and an accepted license like Creative Commons BY-SA are still allowed.
There is no time limit to move files from other projects to Commons. The licensing date is all that counts. It doesn't matter when the file was uploaded or created. Every wiki that allows local uploads should check if bots, scripts and templates that are used to move files to Commons need to be updated. Also update your local policy documentation if needed.
The decision to allow files that only have a GFDL license, or not allow them, is a decision all wikis can make for themselves. Your wiki can decide to continue allowing the files that Commons will no longer allow after 14 October. If your wiki decides to continue to allow files after 14 October that Commons will no longer allow those files should not be moved to Commons. — Alexis Jazz, distributed by Johan using MassMessage

[uredi kôd]Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik
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
[uredi kôd]
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
[uredi kôd]
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:
- First, sign up your group here.
- 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.
- 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:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- 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.

[uredi kôd]Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik.
Hello all,
The mw:Editing team has been improving the mw:Mobile visual editor. They would like to test it here. The purpose of the test is to learn which editor is better for new contributors. This is a great opportunity for your wiki to learn the same. This is an easy test that requires no work from you. You can read more about it at mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default.
What? The test compares the mobile visual editor and the mobile wikitext editor, for newer registered editors (<100 edits).
Who? Half the people who edit from the mobile site will start in the mobile visual editor. The other half will start in the mobile wikitext editor. Remember: Most editors are not using the mobile site and will not be affected by this test. Also, users can switch at any time, and their changes will be automatically remembered and respected. If you have already tried the mobile visual editor, your preference is already recorded and will be respected.
When? The test will start soon, during June. The test will take about six weeks. (Then it will take a few weeks to write the report.)
Why? This test will help the team recommend initial preference settings. It will help them learn whether different wikis should have different settings.
How can I switch? It's easy to switch editing environments on the mobile site.
- Go to the mobile site, e.g., https://test.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random or https://hr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
- Open any page to edit (click the pencil icon).
- Click the new pencil icon to switch editing modes.
- Choose either "Vizualno uređivanje" or "Uređivanje kôda" from the menu.
- Done! You can do the same thing to switch back at any time.
If you have any questions, please leave a note at mw:Talk:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (razgovor) 00:12, 1. lipnja 2019. (CEST)
Invitation to Contest

New tools and IP masking
[uredi kôd]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.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started
[uredi kôd]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
[uredi kôd]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
- No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Beta feature "Reference Previews"
[uredi kôd]A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.
Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages
[uredi kôd]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
[uredi kôd]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, 21:44, 2. srpnja 2020. (CEST)

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia
[uredi kôd]Objavljujemo novi wiki projekt! Dobrodošla, Apstraktna Wikipedija
[uredi kôd]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 [1] 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 [2]. 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[3]. 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
[uredi kôd]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:Max Klemm (WMDE) 11:13, 6. kolovoza 2020. (CEST)

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.

Wikimedijina Zaklada testira prebačaj s prvog na 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, 27. listopada 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 neće biti moguće kraće vremensko razdoblje.
- Uređivanje neće biti moguće do sat vremena u utorak, 27. listopada 2020. godine. Test počinje u 14:00 UTC (tj. 16 sati po srednjoeuropskom ljetnom vremenu (CET)).
- Ako pokušate uređivati, bit će Vam prikazana poruka o pogrješci. Nadamo se da Vaša uređivanja u to vrijeme neće 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.
- Neće biti promjena programskoga kôda mediawikija u tjednu s 26. listopadom 2020. godine. Neće biti manjih, nebitnijih popravaka mediawikija.

Update to ICU Unicode library
[uredi kôd]Starting on November 16, we will migrate the servers running the MediaWiki application servers to a new release of the ICU Unicode library (w:International Components for Unicode) (from version 57 to 63).
This unblocks some future work on upgrading the servers to a new Operating System release and will also allow the use of improved internationalisation in the future (as wikis will then be able to use features introduced by the new ICU release such as new collation definitions, and allows us to use a more recent version of Unicode in MediaWiki).
This migration will cause some unavoidable temporary user-visible impact: The sorting of some category pages will be distorted – all pages which have been updated with the new software version will use the new sorting while untouched pages still use the old sorting. As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries.
The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki.
This affects 149 wikis (including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias). The detailed list and the task for the technical implementation is at T264991.
Thank you.

[uredi kôd]Pozdrav!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.
As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.
A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.
By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist
[uredi kôd]Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!
As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.
Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.
This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.
Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.
If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations
[uredi kôd]Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2
[uredi kôd]Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.
Drafting Committee: Call for applications
[uredi kôd]The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.
To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.
2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators
[uredi kôd]From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.
To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.
Global bot policy changes
[uredi kôd]Pozdrav!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Molimo Vas, pomozite prevođenju na Vaš jezik. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.
- Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
- For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
- The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis
[uredi kôd]
From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Suggested update of licenses
[uredi kôd]Hi! I made a suggestion at MediaWiki_razgovor:Licenses#Update_of_licenses to update the licenses for uploading files. --MGA73 (razgovor) 18:39, 14. travnja 2021. (CEST)
Suggested Values
[uredi kôd]From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Wikimedijina Zaklada testira prebačaj s prvog na 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.
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 neće biti moguće kraće vremensko razdoblje.
- Uređivanje neće biti moguće do sat vremena u utorak, 2021-06-29 godine. Test počinje u 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST).
- Ako pokušate uređivati, bit će Vam prikazana poruka o pogrješci. Nadamo se da Vaša uređivanja u to vrijeme neće 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.
- Neće biti promjena programskoga kôda mediawikija u tjednu s 2021-06-28 godine. Neće biti manjih, nebitnijih popravaka mediawikija.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January
[uredi kôd]Hello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year
[uredi kôd]In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities
[uredi kôd]We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet
[uredi kôd]We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase
[uredi kôd]If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback
[uredi kôd]- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
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, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- 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.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
