Trademark discussion

Hi, apologies for posting this in English, but I wanted to alert your community to a discussion on Meta about potential changes to the Wikimedia Trademark Policy. Please translate this statement if you can. We hope that you will all participate in the discussion; we also welcome translations of the legal team’s statement into as many languages as possible and encourage you to voice your thoughts there. Please see the Trademark practices discussion (on Meta-Wiki) for more information. Thank you! --Mdennis (WMF) (talk)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

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

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

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

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

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

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

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

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

Umfrage zum FFW-Portal

Das neue Förderprogramm Freies Wissen soll dabei helfen, große Ideen zur Verbesserung der Wikimedia-Projekte schneller und besser Realität werden zu lassen. Teil des Förderprogramms ist ein Portal, auf dem gemeinsam Ideen zu Projekten entwickelt werden können. Auch die Entscheidung über die unterstützen Projekte soll auf dem Portal selber getroffen werden. Dazu gibt es noch bis heute Nacht eine Umfrage zu den Funktionen des neuen Portals. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn es auch aus der Wikinews-Community auch Feedback gäbe - insbesondere zu der Frage, wie das Portal in die verschiedenen WM-Projekte sinnvoll eingebunden werden sollte. Die Umfrage und mehr Infos zum FFW findet Ihr hier. --Sebastian Sooth (WMDE) (Diskussion) P.S.: Und natürlich ist das nicht die letzte Gelegenheit zur Diskussion dazu, der nächste Schritt werden dann die konkreten Umsetzungsvorschläge sein, die auch wieder auf WP:FFW veröffentlicht werden.

Change in renaming process

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

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

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

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

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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

Greetings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

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

Hi everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your participation!

Save/Publish

Das Bearbeiten-Team hat vor, den Namen der "Seite speichern"-Schaltfläche auf "Seite veröffentlichen" und "Änderungen veröffentlichen" zu ändern. "Seite veröffentlichen" soll verwendet werden, wenn man eine neue Seite anlegt. "Änderungen veröffentlichen" soll verwendet werden, wenn man eine bestehende Seite ändert. Die Bezeichnungen werden in allen Bearbeitungsumgebungen einheitlich sein.[31][32]

Diese Änderung wird wahrscheinlich in der Woche des 30. August 2016 geschehen. Die Änderung wird in den Tech News angekündigt werden, wenn es soweit ist.

Wenn du ein andere Sprache als Englisch fließend sprichst, überprüfe bitte den Stand der Übersetzungen auf translatewiki.net für "Seite veröffentlichen" und "Änderungen veröffentlichen".

Der wichtigste Grund für diese Änderung ist, Verwirrung bei neuen Autoren zu vermeiden. Wiederholte Nutzeruntersuchungen mit neuen Autoren haben gezeigt, dass manche neuen Autoren glaubten, dass "Seite speichern" eine private Kopie einer neuen Seite in ihren Benutzerkonten anlegen würde, anstatt ihre Änderungen permanent im Internet zu veröffentlichen. Es ist wichtig, dass dieser Teil der Benutzeroberfläche eindeutig ist, weil es schwer ist, öffentliche Informationen nach der Veröffentlichung wieder zu entfernen. Wir glauben, dass die Verwirrung, die die "Seite speichern"-Schaltfläche schafft, erfahrenen Autoren mehr Arbeit macht, indem diese die Informationen, die die Leute unabsichtlich eintragen wieder entfernen müssen und sie an Funktionäre und Stewards zum Verstecken melden müssen. Eine Klarstellung, was die Schaltfläche macht, wird dieses Problem verringern.

Darüber hinaus ist es das Ziel, alle Wikis und Sprachen einheitlicher zu gestalten; einige Wikis haben diese Änderung schon vor vielen Jahren umgesetzt. Die Rechtsabteilung der Wikimedia Foundation unterstützt diese Änderung. Die Benutzeroberfläche verständlicher zu machen, wird es auch erleichtern, entstehende Lizenz- und Datenschutzfragen zu bearbeiten.

Alle Hilfeseiten und Dokumentationen darüber, wie Seiten bearbeitet werden, müssen aktualisiert werden, sowohl im Wiki als auch anderswo. Auf Wiki-Seiten kannst du die Wikitext-Codes {{int:Publishpage}} und {{int:Publishchanges}} verwenden, um die neuen Bezeichnungen in der bevorzugten Sprache eines Nutzers anzuzeigen. Diese Wikitext-Codes ergeben dann "Seite veröffentlichen" und "Änderungen veröffentlichen" je nach den Spracheinstellungen deiner Kontoeinstellungen.

Bitte teile diese Neuigkeit mit Communitymitgliedern, die neue Autoren betreuen und mit anderen, die daran interessiert sein könnten.

Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:04, 9. Aug. 2016 (CEST)

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

Hello, Wikinews contributors.

A sysop at the English Wikinews and I have been talking about this change, and we'd like to try something different. It might be confusing to start with a "Publish page" button, since the first edit to an article is not the end of the full Wikinews publishing process. So we are going to try this instead: The "Save page" button will stay the same, but MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning will have a statement added to tell inexperienced people that their contributions will immediately be shared with the general public.

We are assuming that every Wikinews is using a similar structure for reviewing, and therefore we are going to try this at all Wikinewses. To do this, I need the statement translated for the copyright warning file right away! If you speak a Wikinews language, please check m:User:Whatamidoing (WMF)/Wikinews. It's just two sentences and should (I hope) be easy for anyone who is bilingual or multilingual. I need these translations this week, if at all possible.

If you have any questions or if your Wikinews would prefer the "Publish page" and "Publish changes" button, then please "ping" me. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) (Diskussion) 21:31, 24. Aug. 2016 (CEST)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Last week Tech News announced you will get a notification when you mention yourself the same way as if someone else had mentioned you. This caused some problems and will happen later instead. [33]
• Creating and editing links to sections on other pages on the wiki now works again in the visual editor. [34]
• For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. This will be fixed soon. [35][36]

Changes this week
