Remember to Participate in the UCoC Conversations and Ratification Vote!

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

Hello everyone,

A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

  • A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
  • The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

You can comment on Meta-wiki talk pages in any language. You may also contact either team by email: msg wikimedia.org or ucocproject wikimedia.org

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

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

 
Hubs Dialogue Findings Summary

Hello all - I'm sharing an invitation to the upcoming Saturday 12 March Global Conversation about Hubs, which are being explored as a way to help coordinate support for communities. Please see more details below.


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

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
Movement Strategy

Bot task request

Hi, I recently came across Complete list of Wikimedia projects and it's translated versions, and it appears that the list is very much incomplete when compared to the automatically generated mw:Special:SiteMatrix Special:SiteMatrix (there's already a version installed on this project). I want to request that a bot take over this job of updating the list by automatically reflecting the changes as they happen, similar to how List of Wikipedias is currently maintained. Projects that are created as a Namespace within a larger project, projects in incubator, and deleted projects may be listed separately at the end of the page. Thanks! —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 18:43, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Results from the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines ratification vote published
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

The Trust and Safety Policy team published the results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines ratification vote. The vote ended 21 March 2022. See the results and read more on Meta-wiki.

Xeno (WMF) (talk) 03:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

@Xeno (WMF) @User:SNg (WMF) Are the results final now? I ask because someone reverted my edits. Does the world really have to wait for more final results, now 3 weeks after the vote ended? Also the 2 templates below need to be updated in "/en" subpage. Taylor 49 (talk) 19:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Taylor 49: The next steps are described in the message posted by SNg (WMF): Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement guidelines/UCoC Phase 2 Ratification Results Announcement. In particular, "The Board will review input given during the vote, and examine whether there are aspects of the Guidelines that need further refinement." Feel free to propose any text changes you think are required on the talk pages and I can flag to the project team. Xeno (WMF) (talk) 19:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
@User:MarcoAurelio @Xeno (WMF) The information was and still partially is confusing. You mean that the board can change the document now, despite the YES-verdict? This is new to me. But the community verdict is presumably final and it is a YES. The template "Universal Code of Conduct/Navbox" needs to be updated in "/en" subpage. Taylor 49 (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
I am not sure why I am being summoned here as I am just a volunteer without any involvement in this project (except for a translation or two here and there) and I hope that Xeno (WMF) can be of better assistance. In any case, I think that the Board, as the ultimate corporate decision-making authority of the Wikimedia Foundation, is legally able to either go forward with the ratification as they announced they'd do, make a U-turn and decide not to (not sure if they'd be estopped from doing that considering their previous statement) or make amendments to both texts based on the input provided during the vote. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
Further to the above: My reading of [a] threshold of above 50% support of participating users will be needed to move on to Board of Trustees ratification is that the Board will only take the document into consideration if the community vote got 50%+ of approval; not that the guidelines get automatically approved. Considering the significant opposition and that an approval of 57% would not be enough to change a comma of a policy in most projects I think it'd be good for the BoT to, at least, examine the community feedback provided both on wiki and in the comment box. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
