[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

(Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Διαχειριστές διεπαφής) 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!

Update on the consultation about office actions

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

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 08:03, 16 Aλωναρί 2019 (UTC)

Γλωσσικό συνέδριο Celtic Knot στην Ιρλανδία, 9-10 Ιουλίου 2020

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Χαιρετώ την κοινότητα και με συγχωρείτε που δεν γνωρίζω Ποντιακά (αν και "τεμέτερη", με πρώην σύζυγο Πόντιο και κόρη μισή Πόντια μισή Κεφαλονίτισσα  :).

Γράφω εδώ για να σας κοινοποιήσω ένα πάρα πολύ ενδιαφέρον συνέδριο, στο οποίο γίνεται προσπάθεια να αναπτυχθούν στη Βικιπαίδεια οι γλώσσες που μιλούνται πλέον ελάχιστα στον κόσμο... πρόκειται για το Celtic Knot: το πρώτο συνέδριο έγινε στο Εδιμβούργο τον Ιούλιο του 2017, όπου είχα προσκληθεί να μιλήσω για το Κεφαλονίτικο ιδίωμα (δείτε εδώ την παρουσίαση). Ήταν μια εξαιρετική ευκαιρία να γνωριστώ με ανθρώπους από όλη την Ευρώπη και τον κόσμο με πάθος για τη μητρική τους γλώσσα... οι ιστορίες τους ήταν ενδιαφέρουσες, συγκινητικές και ενίοτε εξοργιστικές (όπως π.χ. ότι στη Σκωτία και Ουαλία δεκαετία του 70 απαγορευόταν στα παιδιά στο σχολείο να μιλούν τις μητρικές τους γλώσσες, και οι παραβάτες φορούσαν πινακίδα που έγραφε "I spoke Gaelic" για μια ολόκληρη μερα). Έδειξαν μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον για τις διαλέκτους και τα ιδιώματα της Ελλάδας, ήταν με λίγα λόγια μια υπέροχη εμπειρία απόκτησης γνώσεων, παρέα με παθιασμένους με τη γλώσσα και τον πολιτισμό τους ανθρώπους, σε μια υπέροχη πόλη όπως είναι το Εδιμβούργο :)

Φέτος το συνέδριο θα πραγματοποιηθεί στην Ιρλανδία. Πέρυσι που ήμουν στη Wikimania συζητούσα με το διοργανωτή του 1ου Celtic Knot ότι θα ήταν εξαιρετικό το ενδεχόμενο συμμετοχής εκπροσώπου(-ων) της Ποντιακής Βικιπαίδειας! Μόλις είδα λοιπόν την ανακοίνωση του συνεδρίου, σας κοινοποιώ εδώ το σύνδεσμο και εύχομαι να τα κατάφερει κάποιος από εσάς να συμμετάσχει... και γιατί όχι, με παρουσίαση! Αν χρειαστείτε οτιδήποτε μπορείτε να μου αφήσετε μήνυμα στη σελίδα μου, ή να μου στείλετε μέιλ. Α, αξίζει να σημειώσω ότι πέρυσι για πρώτη φορά δόθηκαν κάποιες υποτροφίες που κάλυπταν μέρος των εξόδων του ταξιδιού. Δεν ξέρω αν θα γίνει το ίδιο φέτος, αξίζει πάντως να το δείτε. Με φιλικούς χαιρετισμούς από Κεφαλονιά, Μίνα Θ. --Saintfevrier (συζήτηση) 22:03, 23 Κούντουρονος 2020 (UTC)[απάντηση]

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.

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Βικιπαίδεια currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

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

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

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

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

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.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.

The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.

To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.

The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.

Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Best regards,

Kaarel Vaidla
