వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ బోర్డ్ అఫ్ ట్రస్టీస్: కమ్యూనిటీ బోర్డు స్థానాల కోసం సంప్రదింపులు

వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ బోర్డ్ అఫ్ ట్రస్టీస్ వారు ఫిబ్రవరి 1 నుండి మర్చి 14 వరకు, కమ్యూనిటీ ద్వారా ఎన్నుకోబడే బోర్డు స్థానాల కోసం సంప్రదింపులు జరుపుతున్నారు. దీనికి కారణం; గత పది సంవత్సరాలలో వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్, ప్రాజెక్టులు ఐదు రెట్లు పెరగగా, బోర్డ్ పనితీరు, ఏర్పాట్లు, ఏమి మారలేదు. ఇప్పుడు ఉన్న విధానాల ప్రకారం, బోర్డుకు తగినంత సామర్థ్యం, ప్రాతినిధ్యం లేవు. మామూలుగా జరిగే ఎన్నికలు, బహిర్ముఖులుగా ఉంటూ ఇంగ్లీష్ వికీపీడియా వంటి పెద్ద ప్రాజెక్టులు లేదా అమెరికా వంటి పాశ్చాత్య దేశాలు నుండి వచ్చేవారికి తోడ్పడుతున్నాయి. మిగిలిన వారికీ ఎన్ని శక్తిసామర్ధ్యాలు ఉన్నా తగినంత ప్రచారం లేనందు వలన వారికి ఓటు వేసే వారు తక్కువ మంది. ఉదాహరణకి, వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ పదిహేను సంవత్సరాల చరిత్రలో, భారత ఉపఖండం నుండి కేవలం ఒక్కళ్ళు మాత్రమే బోర్డు లో సేవలు అందించారు. వారు కూడా నిర్దిష్ట నైపుణ్యం కోసం నేరుగా నియమించబడ్డవారే గాని, ఎన్నుకోబడలేదు.

రానున్న నెలలో, మొత్తం ఆరు కమ్యూనిటీ బోర్డు స్థానాల కోసం ఎన్నికలు జరగాల్సి ఉంది. ఇప్పుడు జరుగుతున్న సంప్రదింపుల ద్వారా బోర్డు వారు కమ్యూనిటీల నుండి వారి పద్ధతుల మీద అభిప్రాయం సేకరిస్తున్నారు. ఈ నిమిత్తం తెలుగు కమ్యూనిటీలో తో మాట్లాడేందుకు ఒక ఆన్లైన్ సమావేశం ఏర్పాటు చేయబడింది. ఇది ఫిబ్రవరి 6 (శనివారం), 6:00 pm నుండి 7:30 pm వరకు జరుగుతుంది; పాల్గొనడానికి గూగుల్ మీట్ లింకు ఇది https://meet.google.com/oki-espq-kog. దయచేసి సభ్యులందరు రావాల్సినదిగా కోరుతున్నాను. --KCVelaga (WMF) (చర్చ) 11:11, 1 మార్చి 2021 (UTC)

WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions

As a result of the first three weeks of the call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats, three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics.

• Skills for Board work - Friday, March 12, 18:00 UTC
• Support for candidates - Saturday, March 13, 13:30 UTC
• Board - Global Council - Hubs - Saturday, March 13, 16:00 UTC
• Regional diversity - Sunday, March 14, 13:00 UTC

To counter spamming, the meeting link will be updated on the Meta-Wiki pages and also on the Telegram announcements channel, 15 minutes before the official start.

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Please help translate to your language

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

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

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

నమస్తే!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. 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,
—Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} 18:48, 6 ఏప్రిల్ 2021 (UTC)

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Example

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.

[Small wiki toolkits] Workshop on "Designing responsive main pages" - 30 April (Friday)

As part of the Small wiki toolkits (South Asia) initiative, we would like to announce the third workshop of this year on “Designing responsive main pages”. The workshop will take place on 30 April (Friday). During this workshop, we will learn to design main pages of a wiki to be responsive. This will allow the pages to be mobile-friendly, by adjusting the width and the height according to various screen sizes. Participants are expected to have a good understanding of Wikitext/markup and optionally basic CSS.

Details of the workshop are as follows:

• Date: 30 April (Friday)
• Timings: 18:00 to 19:30 (India / Sri Lanka), 18:15 to 19:45 (Nepal), 18:30 to 20:00 (Bangladesh)
• Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/zfs-qfvj-hts | to add this to your Google Calendar, please use click here.

If you are interested, please sign-up on the registration page at https://w.wiki/3CGv.

Note: We are providing modest internet stipends to attend the workshops, for those who need and wouldn't otherwise be able to attend. More information on this can be found on the registration page.

Regards, Small wiki toolkits - South Asia organizers, 15:52, 19 ఏప్రిల్ 2021 (UTC)

Suggested Values

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.

Call for Election Volunteers: 2021 WMF Board elections

Hello all,

Based on an extensive call for feedback earlier this year, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced the plan for the 2021 Board elections. Apart from improving the technicalities of the process, the Board is also keen on improving active participation from communities in the election process. During the last elections, Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following:

• Promote the election and related calls to action in community channels.
• With the support from facilitators, organize discussions about the election in their communities.
• Translate “a few” messages for their communities

Check out more details about Election Volunteers and add your name next to the community you will support in this table. We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer, even better if there are two or more sharing the work. If you have any queries, please ping me under this message or email me. Regards, KCVelaga (WMF) 05:21, 12 మే 2021 (UTC)

వేమన పద్యాలు దింపుకోదగిన పుస్తకం

Candidates from South Asia for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has started elections for community seats on the Board of Trustees. While previously there were three community seats on the Board, with the expansion of the Board to sixteen seats last year, community seats have been increased to eight, four of which are up for election this year.

In the last fifteen years of the Board's history, there were only a few candidates from the South Asian region who participated in the elections, and hardly anyone from the community had a chance to serve on the Board. While there are several reasons for this, this time, the Board and WMF are very keen on encouraging and providing support to potential candidates from historically underrepresented regions. This is a good chance to change the historical problem of representation from the South Asian region in high-level governance structures.

Ten days after the call for candidates began, there aren't any candidates from South Asia yet, there are still 10 days left! I would like to ask community members to encourage other community members, whom you think would be potential candidates for the Board. While the final decision is completely up to the person, it can be helpful to make sure that they are aware of the election and the call for candidates.

Let me know if you need any information or support.

Thank you, KCVelaga (WMF) 10:03, 19 జూన్ 2021 (UTC)

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

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.

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, 29 June 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 30 June).
• 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 June 28. 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.

2021 WMF Board election postponed until August 18th

Hello all,

We are reaching out to you today regarding the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. This election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues with SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we plan to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after Wikimania concludes. For information on the technical issues, you can see the Phabricator ticket.

We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and the candidates to coordinate the next steps. We will update the Board election Talk page and Telegram channel as we know more.

Thanks for your patience, KCVelaga (WMF), 03:49, 3 ఆగస్టు 2021 (UTC)

Update on the OCR Improvements

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. Please help translate to your language.

The OCR Improvements are complete. We, the Community Tech team, are grateful for your feedback from the beginning to the last stage when we were finalizing the interface.

Engine improvements

OCR menu in toolbar

Reliability

Prior to our work, the OCR tools were separate gadgets. We have added "Wikimedia OCR." It is available under one icon inside the toolbar on all Wikisource wikis. This tool supports two other OCR tools, Tesseract and Google OCR. We expect these tools to be more stable. We will maintain Wikimedia OCR.

The gadgets will remain available. The communities will have sovereignty over when to enable or disable these.

Speed

Prior to this work, transcription would take upwards of 40 seconds. Our improvements average a transcription time under 4 seconds.

Advanced Tools improvements

Multiple-language support

Documents with multiple languages can be transcribed in a new way.

1. Open the Advanced Options
2. Select the Languages (optional) field
3. Search for and enter the languages in order of prevalence in the document.

Cropping tool / Multi-column support

We have included a Cropper tool. It allows to select regions to transcribe on pages with complicated layouts.

Discoverability and accessibility of OCR

We have added an interface for new users. It is pulsating blue dots over the new icon in the toolbar. The new interface explains what OCR means and what transcription means in Wikisource.

We believe that you will do even more great things because of these changes. We also hope to see you at the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. Thanks you again for all your opinions and support.

Please share your opinions on the project talk page!

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

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

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

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

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

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

• 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.

Results of 2021 Wikimedia Foundation elections

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support:

• Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
• Victoria Doronina
• Dariusz Jemielniak
• Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of this month.

Universal Code of Conduct EDGR conversation hour for South Asia

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may already know, the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020.

The current round of conversations is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas.

The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows:

• Date: 16 September
• Time: Bangladesh: 5:30 pm to 7 pm, India & Sri Lanka: 5 pm to 6:30 pm, Nepal: 5:15 pm to 5:45 pm
• Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/dnd-qyuq-vnd | add to your calendar

You can also attend the global round table sessions hosted on 18 September - more details can be found on this page. MediaWiki message delivery (చర్చ) 10:47, 10 సెప్టెంబరు 2021 (UTC)

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

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.

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. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Copyright notification

This is addressed to whosoever is overseeing the copyright matters. The present notification says-

"This work is in the public domain in India because it originates from India and its term of copyright has expired. According to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957, all documents enter the public domain after sixty years counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2021, prior to 1 January 1961) after the death of the author. "

It needs to be amended. The new notification would be -

"This work is in the public domain in India because it originates from India and its term of copyright has expired. According to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957, all documents enter the public domain after sixty years counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2021, prior to 1 January 1961) after the death of the author, excepting in cases where the copyright act has been amended by the Government of India."

Celebrating 18 years of Wikisource

Hello Wikisource enthusiasts and friends of Wikisource,

I hope you are doing alright! I would like to invite you to celebrate 18 years of Wikisource.

The first birthday party is being organized on 24 November 2021 from 1:30 - 3:00 PM UTC (check your local time) where the incoming CEO of the WMF, Maryana Iskendar, will be joining us. Feel free to drop me a message on my talk page, telegram (@satdeep) or via email (sgillwikimedia.org) to add your email address to the calendar invite.

Maryana is hoping to learn more about the Wikisource community and the project at this event and it would be really nice if you can share your answers to the following questions:

• What motivates you to contribute to Wikisource?
• What makes the Wikisource community special?
• What are the major challenges facing the movement going forward?
• What are your questions to Maryana?

You can share your responses during the live event but in case the date and the time doesn't work for you, you can share your responses on the event page on Wikisource or in case you would like to remain anonymous, you can share your responses directly with me.

Also, feel free to reach out to me in case you would like to give a short presentation about your and your community's work at the beginning of the session.

We are running a poll to find the best date and time to organize the second birthday party on the weekend right after 24th November. Please share your availability on the following link by next Friday:

Technical problems to address

1. Google OCR is not detecting double columns and considering it as single column by default. Ex. Ammanudi magazine which is getting published monthly with Creative Commons licence. link: https://te.wikisource.org/wiki/సూచిక:Ammanudi_july_2018.pdf
2. Linking Telugu Wikisource with Wikidata. Can someone resolve any bugs or issues.
3. Community Wish List: How far it has helped the Indic Wikisource communities. How and Where to address Telugu community problems.
4. What are the sources of Telugu language books and periodicals other than Archives. How far the Digital Library of India (DLI) issue has come.
5. How to link Indic Wikisource with the English Wikisource if there are authors or works in both the languages: by author, work or period. Example: Gurazada Apparao. Link: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Gurajada_Apparao and .. -- 2021-11-28T20:43:42‎ Rajasekhar1961

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

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

More languages • Please help translate to your language

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 msgwikimedia.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.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 Postponed

Dear Wikimedians,

We want to give you an update related to Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022. Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 (or WMWM2022) was to be conducted from 18 to 20 February 2022 and is postponed now.

Currently, we are seeing a new wave of the pandemic that is affecting many people around. Although WMWM is an online event, it has multiple preparation components such as submission, registration, RFC etc which require community involvement.

We feel this may not be the best time for extensive community engagement. We have also received similar requests from Wikimedians around us. Following this observation, please note that we are postponing the event, and the new dates will be informed on the mailing list and on the event page. Although the main WMWM is postponed, we may conduct a couple of brief calls/meets (similar to the Stay safe, stay connected call) on the mentioned date, if things go well.

We'll also get back to you about updates related to WMWM once the situation is better. Thank you MediaWiki message delivery (చర్చ) 07:28, 27 జనవరి 2022 (UTC)

Invitation to join the first Wikisource Triage meeting on 21st March 2022

Hello everyone,

Sam Wilson and I are excited to share that we will be hosting regular Wikisource Triage meetings, starting from 21st March 2022.

These meetings aim to foster the growth of a technical community of Wikisource developers and contributors. The meetings will be primarily focused on identifying, prioritizing and estimating tasks on the All-and-every-Wikisource and ProofreadPage workboards (among others) on Phabricator and eventually reduce the backlog of technical tasks and bugs related to Wikisource by making incremental improvements to Wikisource infrastructure and coordinating these changes with the Wikisource communities.

While these meetings are technology focused, non-technical Wikisource contributors are also invited to join and share any technical challenges that they are facing and we will help them to create phabricator tickets. Newbie developers are also more than welcome!

The first meeting has been scheduled for 21st March 2022 at 10:30 AM UTC / 4:00 PM IST (Check your local time). If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on sgill@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.

Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest topics for the agenda.

Join the South Asia / ESEAP Annual Plan Meeting with Maryana Iskander

Dear community members,

In continuation of Maryana Iskander's listening tour, the Movement Communications and Movement Strategy and Governance teams invite you to discuss the 2022-23 Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan.

The conversations are about these questions:

• The 2030 Wikimedia Movement Strategy sets a direction toward "knowledge as a service" and "knowledge equity". The Wikimedia Foundation wants to plan according to these two goals. How do you think the Wikimedia Foundation should apply them to our work?
• The Wikimedia Foundation continues to explore better ways of working at a regional level. We have increased our regional focus in areas like grants, new features, and community conversations. How can we improve?
• Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. We want to know about your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities?

Date and Time

The meeting will happen via Zoom on 24 April (Sunday) at 07:00 UTC (local time). Kindly add the event to your calendar. Live interpretation will be available for some languages.

Fundamental changes in the template dialog.

Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:

The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.

• project page, talk page

In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.

• project page, talk page

Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Call for Election Volunteers

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

More languages • Please help translate to your language

The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.

The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.

There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?

Election volunteers will help in the following areas:

• Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
• Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions

Volunteers should:

• Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
• Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner

Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up here to receive updates. You can use the talk page for questions about translation.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

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

More languages • Please help translate to your language

Hi all,

Community members are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass for the 2022 Board of Trustees election.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

• July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
• July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
• July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
• August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
• August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
• August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Regards,

Movement Strategy & Governance

WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations

Dear Wikimedians,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023.

The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.

We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.

Here is a survey form to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on this page, if you support the idea.

వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమ ముసాయిదా అంబాసిడర్ కార్యక్రమం

గత సంవత్సరం వికీమీడియా వారు నిర్వహించిన వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమ ముసాయిదా కమిటీ సభ్యుల ఎన్నికల్లో నేను పాల్గొనటం మీ అందరికీ తెలిపిన విషయమే.

దీనికి కొనసాగింపుగా, వికీమీడియా వారు గత సంవత్సరం ఎన్నికల్లో పోటీ చేసిన అభ్యర్థులకు ఉద్యమ అంబాసిడర్ గా ఉండే అవకాశం అందించారు. కావున నేను 2022 నవంబరు 4న ఈ ఉద్యమ ముసాయిదాలో అంబాసిడర్ గా నమోదు చేసుకున్నాను.

ఈ కార్యక్రమంలో భాగంగా వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమ రూపు రేఖలు అలాగే రాబోయే రోజుల్లో వికీమీడియా ప్రాజెక్టులలో ఏ విధమైన కృషి జరపవచ్చో సముదాయంతో చర్చించడం జరుగుతుంది. ముఖ్యంగా వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమ స్థిరత్వం, వికీమీడియా వాడుకరుల వినియోగ అనుభవాలు పెంచడం, సమాచార/ప్రాజెక్టు నిర్వహణ, ప్రభావశీల అంశాలపై ప్రాజెక్టుల రూపకల్పన, నైపుణ్యాభివృద్ధి, నాయకత్వ విలువలను పెంచడం, జరుగుతున్న/కొత్త అంశాలను అన్వయించుకోవటం లాంటి అంశాలపై ఉద్యమ ముసాయిదా కొత్త విషయాలకు శ్రీకారం చుట్టాలని భావిస్తుంది.

ఈ కార్యక్రమానికి సంభందించి మరిన్ని వివరాలు ఇక్కడ చూడవచ్చు.

ఈ కార్యక్రమంలో విషయాలు తెలుగు వికీమీడియన్లకు తెలియజెప్పాలనే ఉద్దేశంతో నేను ఈ ఉద్యమ ముసాయిదాలో సభ్యునిగా చేరాను.

ఈ కార్యక్రమం జరిపే మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ అంబాసిడర్ లకు వికీమీడియా వారు సహాయం అందిస్తామని తెలియపరిచారు. కావున నేను దీనికి సంబందించిన సహకారం కోసం వికీమీడియా వారికి గ్రాంటు అభ్యర్తన అందజేయటం జరిగింది, ఈ గ్రాంటుకి సంబదించిన మరిన్ని వివరాలు ఇక్కడ చూడవచ్చు. ఈ గ్రాంటు ద్వారా పైన పేర్కొన్న అంశాలను తెలుగులో అందించటమే కాకుండా సముదాయంతో చర్చలు జరిపి, తెలుగు వికీమీడియన్లకు ఆయా విషయాలలో అవగాహన పెంపొందించటానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తాను.

తద్వారా తెలుగు వికీమీడియా ప్రాజెక్టులలో జరుగుతున్న కృషి మరింత ఉన్నత స్థాయికి చేరుకునే అవకాశం ఉన్నది. ఈ కార్యక్రమానికి సంభందించిన విషయాలు వికీమీడియా వారు వేగంగా చేపట్టాలని భావిస్తున్నారు. కావున ఈ గ్రాంటుకి మీ అభిప్రాయలు,మద్దతు తెలపవలసిందిగా కోరుతున్నాను.

మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ - అభిప్రాయాల సేకరణ సమావేశం

తెలుగు వికీమీడియన్లందరికి నమస్కారం.

మనందరికీ తెలిసినట్టు వికీమీడియా అనేది స్వేచ్ఛ విజ్ఞానాన్ని అభిరుద్ది పరిచే ఒక అంతర్జాతీయ ఉద్యమం, అయితే మన ఈ ఉద్యమం ముందుగు సాగుతున్న కొద్దీ ఉద్యమంలో భాగస్వామ్యం అయ్యే వారి పాత్రలు భాద్యతలు ఇతరాత్ర మరింత మెరుగ్గా నిర్ణయించుకోవాల్సిన అవసరం ఉంది. ఈ అవసరాన్ని గ్రహిస్తూ 2021 నవంబరు నెలలో వికీమీడియా మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ డ్రాఫ్టింగ్ కమిటీ ఏర్పాటు చేయడం జరిగింది.

ఈ మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ ద్వారా ఉద్యమ భాగస్వాముల భాద్యతలు, పాత్రలు రూపొందిస్తు, గ్లోబల్ కౌన్సిల్ ఒకటి స్థాపించుకోనున్నాము. మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ అనేది మూమెంట్ స్ట్రాటెజిలో ఒక ముఖ్య భాగం, ఈ మూమెంట్ స్ట్రాటజీ అనేది 2030 కల్లా వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమ రూపు రేఖలు ఎలా ఉండాలో వ్యూహ రచన చేయనుంది.

ఇక మన సమావేశం విషయానికి వస్తే మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ వారు రాసిన క్రింది అంశాలపై సముదాయంలో మనం చర్చించుకుందాం:

1. మూమెంట్ చార్టర్-పీఠిక
2. పాత్రలు, బాధ్యతలు
3. విలువలు & సూత్రాలు

సమావేశ వివరాలు

మూమెంట్ చార్టర్ - అభిప్రాయాల సేకరణ సమావేశం Tuesday, 13 December · 6:30 – 8:30pm Google Meet joining info Video call link: [1]

అభిప్రాయలు తెలపటానికి ఇతర వేదికలు

1. ఈ లింకు ద్వారా మీ అభిప్రాయాలు పొందుపరచగలరు.
2. పైన సూచించిన పేజీల చర్చలో కూడా రాయవచ్చు.

అలాగే నా చర్చా పేజీ ద్వారా కూడా మీ అభిప్రాయాలు తెలపవచ్చును.

ఈ చర్చలు జరపటానికి చాలా తక్కువ సమయం అందుబాటులో ఉంది, కావున తెలుగు వికీమీడియన్లందరు వీలైనంత త్వరగా (డిసెంబరు 15 లోగా) స్పందించగలరని మనవి.

Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct

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

More languages • Please help translate to your language

Hello all,

In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.

The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.

The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.

How to vote?

Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.

Who can vote?

The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.

What happens after the vote?

Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

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

1. T.sujatha (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, Uncitoyen (చర్చ) 07:55, 21 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)
