GLAM ChallengeEdit

Hey Ainali, I'm happy to see you're taking part. :) cheers, pfctdayelise 12:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank YouEdit

Jan :) On behalf of WMF I would like to thank you for your cooperation during the last fundraiser and we look forward for more fruitful and successful fundraisers over the next years. Thanks again :)--Melamrawy (WMF) 12:29, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Translator, We need you!Edit

Dear Ainali,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

A barnstar for you!Edit

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:25, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

TankstreckEdit

Hej, här ersatte du ett tankstreck (–) med två minustecken (--). Så var det också i den oöversatta texten. Finns det någon funktion i programvaran som kommer att tolka detta när meddelandet visas? Annars finns det nämligen en poäng med att "översätta" även tankstrecket, eftersom vilket tecken som används skiljer sig mellan olika språk. /NH (talk) 05:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Hm, jag vet inte säkert men det var min ansats. Använder engelska två minus istället för ett tankstreck? Om inte borde det väl vara rätt att låta bli att översätta det.Ainali (talk) 19:36, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Jag skrev kort tankstreck, du återställde till två minus. Hade du någon tanke med det eller kom det bara med när du skrev över resten av översättningen? Nej, engelskan använder oftast långt tankstreck, ibland kort. Svenskan använder alltid det korta. I ordbehandlare etc kan man ibland för enkelhets skull skriva två minustecken som då automagiskt förvandlas till ett kort tankstreck (tre minus blir ett långt). Mediawiki/etc har vad jag vet inte den funktionen. /NH (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Eftersom att det inte används två minustecken på engelska känner jag mig trygg med att den som skrev det har en tanke med det. Om du tror att det inte kommer att göras en fix av det sen så får du gärna ändra till kort tankstreck, jag kommer inte att ändra tillbaks det igen. Ainali (talk) 19:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Article Evolution PlaybackEdit

I saw your idea to playback edits Article Evolution Playback , I have received an IEG for an idea that is similar Replay Edits , I would love to collaborate with you and work on the idea. --Jeph paul (talk) 08:31, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

How cool! I will be happy to help you out, however my programming skills are kind of poor. But I could help you with testing, ideas on the interface and stuff like that. What is your next step? Ainali (talk) 09:21, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Im collating the list of features people would like to have in the tool at Feature List , could you please add your ideas regarding the interface/ feaure you would like to have there.--Jeph paul (talk) 03:57, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor at sv.wikipedia.orgEdit

Hello Ainali,

I am the new person working for the WMF with the VisualEditor deployment. I have been assigned to find people at sv.wikipedia.org who can translate the information pages and who can tell the software developers about bugs and other problems that affect users at the Swedish Wikipedia. It looks like you are one of the main translators for VisualEditor pages. Is there any information you need or anything I can do to help?

Unfortunately, I don't understand Swedish, but I read the two comments on the feedback page using Google Translate. As you said, the second one has probably been fixed by now. The first one may be a new report, but VisualEditor isn't supposed to work on mobile phones. They are writing a new version for use on smartphones. I expect that more problems will be reported when VisualEditor becomes available at the Swedish Wikipedia (perhaps on 29 July 2013). I want to get these reports to the developers in Bugzilla or at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback, so that any new problems can be fixed. Can you help me with that, or help me find someone who can do that?

I really appreciate the work you've been doing. The Swedish Wikipedia looks very organized. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 05:20, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Umea EnergiEdit

Hi Jan, I was wondering, if you could help me find a few more sources for Umea Energi which I may use in the English article and the Hindi one [I plan to create]? ----Rsrikanth05 (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

As much as I would like to help, it might not be appropriate for me as one of the ones arranging the competition to help one of the contestants specifically. For now, you will have to rely on your own information seeking skills :) --Ainali (talk) 19:44, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Oops. :D P.S: have you thought of a photography competition? Some of them don't have any photos. ----Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:55, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Request from two of usEdit

Hi Jan, here is a small request from Roger and me. Is it possible to get a photograph of a bus shelter with the lights from Umea as described in the Umea Energi article today itself? I know it sounds like a strange and hasty request, but is it possible? ----Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:51, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Barnstar and a request for feedbackEdit

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitionsEdit

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

I'm notifying you because you participated in one of several relevant discussions. -Pete F (talk) 21:58, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Oppose: I support free sharing of knowledge and do not think this petition supports it. The energy in the movement would be better preserved if you would focus on more important things. --Ainali (talk) 23:18, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for letting me know -- I very much disagree with you, I feel this is a very important step in preserving our ability to effectively share free knowledge, it is why I put my time into it. I respect your position, and I hope my request was not too much of an intrusion. -Pete F (talk) 23:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Superprotect statusEdit

Dear Ainali, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.

Request for comment: Requests for comment/Superprotect rights

Peteforsyth 09:03, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Peteforsyth, which of the wikis that I am an admin of are you referring to? --Ainali (talk) 11:31, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bug you - I know you are already aware of this. I should have noticed your name and removed it from the list. -Pete F (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

The Structured Data Bee, vol. 1, issue 1Edit

Greetings, thank you for signing up for the Structured Data newsletter and its first edition. With this newsletter, the Structured data team plans on keeping you informed of technical progress, events, and communications to talk about the project, and continued information on how you can participate. This newsletter will be sent approximately every two weeks, and future editions will be translatable prior to publication. If you're new to Wikidata and want more information about how it works in relation to Wikimedia Commons, you can read an introduction to Wikidata for Commons being drafted.

Tech and designEdit

The software development for this process is still in the planning phases. The idea is to have some functional prototyping done for experimentation and feedback by the end of the year.
The initial roadmap for development has been posted on Commons. The roadmap is a rough outline and is open to iterations as the team learns where and when to focus its energies.
There is a page set up for design ideas about what structured data could potentially look like.
There are forthcoming requests for comment about the particulars of technical architecture on mediawiki.org. Keep an eye on the commons:Commons:Structured data/Get involved page for notification of when the RfCs are posted.

Events and chatsEdit

There was a week-long meeting between the Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team, the Wikidata team, and community members, held in Berlin, Germany, at the office of Wikimedia Deutchland on October 6-10. You can read an overview of the event in on this page on Commons. There are also plenty of pictures available on Wikimedia Commons.

If you would like to read more detail about what was discussed, there are etherpads of notes taken for each day of the event.

The next IRC office hour to discuss the structured data project will be held on November 20, from 19:30 to 20:30 UTC.

The second IRC office hour (logs) was held on October 16, and the first (logs) on September 3.

Getting involvedEdit

You've signed up for the newsletter. That's a great first step!
While working prototypes are being developed, there is a drive to make all files contain machine-readable data on Wikimedia projects.

The information and sign-up page is located on Meta, at File metadata cleanup drive.
The MrMetadata tool on labs that will identify files on your wiki(s) that need information templates added.

A hub has been launched to facilitate communication and documentation for this work.

There is a frequently-asked questions page that is finishing drafting and will need translated. Keep an eye out for when it is ready if you are interested in translating.
There will be active organization of the Get involved page as community participation is further organized. There will be work groups, similar to specific Wikiprojects, dedicated to particular aspects of structured data like licensing presentation, design, API performance, and even helping out with this newsletter and other community communications.

There will be much more information and activities around the proposal to develop structured data on Wikimedia Commons. This project is a major undertaking and an important step as the chief provider, repository, and curator of media for Wikimedia projects.

Thank you for your participation in such an extensive project, let me know if you're interested in participating in this newsletter. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 04:43, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Structured Data on Commons updateEdit

Greetings,

After a delay in updates to the Structured data on Commons project, I wanted to catch you up with what has been going on over the past three months. In short: The project is on hold, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening.

The meeting in Berlin in October provided the engineering teams with a lot to start on. Unfortunately the Structured Data on Commons project was put on hold not too long after this meeting. Development of the actual Structured data system for Commons will not begin until more resources can be allocated to it.

The Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Germany have been working to improve the Wikidata query process on the back-end. This is designed to be a production-grade replacement of WikidataQuery integrated with search. The full project is described at Mediawiki.org.This will benefit the structured data project greatly since developing a high-level search for Commons is a desired goal of this project.

The Wikidata development team is working on the arbitrary access feature. Currently it's only possible to access items that are connected to the current page. So for example on Vincent van Gogh you can access the statements on Q5582, but you can't access these statements on Category:Vincent van Gogh or Creator:Vincent van Gogh. With arbitrary access enabled on Commons we no longer have this limitation. This opens up the possibility to use Wikidata data on Creator, Institution, Authority control and other templates instead of duplicating the data (what we do now). This will greatly enhance the usefulness of Wikidata for Commons.

To use the full potential of arbitrary access the Commons community needs to reimplement several templates in LUA. In LUA it's possible to use the local fields and fallback to Wikidata if it's not locally available. Help with this conversion is greatly appreciated. The different tasks are tracked in phabricator, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89594 .

Volunteers are continuing to add data about artworks to Wikidata. Sometimes an institution website is used and sometimes data is being transfered from Commons to Wikidata. Wikidata now has almost 35.000 items about paintings. This is done as part of the WikiProject sum of all paintings. This helps us to learn how to d:Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structuremodel and refine metadata about artworks. Experience that will of course be very useful for Commons too.

Additionally, the metadata cleanup drive continues to produce results. The drive, which is intended to identify files missing {{information}} or the like structured data fields and to add such fields when absent, has reduced the number of files missing information by almost 100,000 on Commons. You can help by looking for files with similarly-formatted description pages, and listing them at Commons:Bots/Work requests so that a bot can add the {{information}} template on them.

At the Amsterdam Hackathon in November 2014, a couple of different models were developed about how artwork can be viewed on the web using structured data from Wikidata. You can browse two examples here and here. These examples can give you an idea of the kind of data that file pages have the potential to display on-wiki in the future.

The Structured Data project is a long-term one, and the volunteers and staff will continue working together to provide the structure and support in the back-end toward front-end development. There are still many things to do to help advance the project, and I hope to have more news for you in the near future. Contact me any time with questions, comments, concerns.

Affiliate-selected Board seats/2016/QuestionsEdit

Hello there! Please, do assume good faith :) You have not posted your answers to some questions, like:

The voting starts today, so it is better to have everything done as soon as possible. I do want to hear your opinion on the questions you have missed, and I am going to ask this from every candidate, as it is important to understand how a future Trustee (and technically any of us can be elected) treats this or that issue, to know his or her thoughts about it on a public page. And I think that I am not very unique in my desire to have more text to get to know people better :) Wikipedians tend to read people (literally speaking) --アンタナナ 02:15, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

P.S. I do not have intentions to make you answer the questions you do not want to answer, I just want to know your opinion before you are elected as a Trustee. Even if you think that some questions are out of scope or not relevant. Thank you :) --アンタナナ 02:15, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me, I have answered the remaining questions now. Ainali (talk) 12:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!Edit

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Tech News: 2016-10Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team is delighted to publish its first newsletter! Your feedback is welcome.

This quarter the team will focus on improving Special:RecentChanges and create a ReviewStream, a new feed designed to improve the edit-review process. Both are part of the new Edit Review Improvements project.

Notifications [ More information · Help pages ]

Recent changes

Documentation concerning Notifications types has been updated. That page is ready for translations. [5]
For developers, how to create a new Notification type has been updated. [6]
Tools owners will be notified when OAuth app changes state. [7]
When you edit text and mention a new username they are notified if you add your signature. Before this only happened under certain conditions. [8]
Users are notified if they are mentioned in a section where you add your own signature even if you edit more than one section. Before, users were not notified if you edited more than one section in one edit. [9]
Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. Now you can get a notification when you successfully send out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This is an opt-in option in your preferences. [10][11]
On Notifications, the badge is colored if you have some notifications. If you see these notifications, the badge will turn grey on all wikis instead of just the local one. [12]

Problems

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. It has been fixed. [13][14]
When a title was created with some wikitext inside of it, Notifications were not linking that title when they were mentioned. This is now fixed. [15]
Some Notifications messages were not supporting {{GENDER:}}. This is now fixed. [16]

Future changes

On Special:Notifications, pages and counts related to disabled notification types will not be shown anymore. [17]

Flow [ More information · Help pages ]

Recent changes

Flow is available as a Beta feature on Greek Wikipedia. [18]
A satisfaction survey was conducted concerning Flow in September 2016. Results will be published in December 2016. [19]
Wikitext interface for Flow is now using a monospaced font. [20]
It is now possible to moderate a Flow topic that have been resolved without re-opening it. [21]
It is now possible to watch and unwatch topics directly from the Notification panel. [22]

Problems

It is not possible to enable or disable Flow as a Beta feature on wikis where that option is available. This is under investigation. [23]
Some Flow messages were not supporting {{GENDER:}}. This is now fixed. [24]

Future changes

Communities that have Flow enabled manually on user talk pages will be asked to move on to a Beta feature activation to simplify the process. [25]
Notifications related to Flow will be grouped on your Notifications preferences. It will be easier to choose which Notifications you want to have from Flow. [26]

Edit Review Improvements [ More information ]

Recent changes

Informations about Edit Review Improvements project have been published. That page is ready for translations. [27]
ReviewStream feed product description is available. ReviewStream is a machine-readable feed that’s designed to be used by a variety of edit-review tools.

Future changes

Some improvements will be done to Special:RecentChanges, by adding new filters based on ORES.
- Some tests are done with users to refine the design of those filters. You can volunteer for such tests. [28]
- Communities that already have ORES goodfaith and damaging filters enabled will be contacted to try that change as a Beta feature. [29]

Miscellaneous

On that newsletter, some particular items are highlighted by an icon, to ease reading. The icon highlights items that may interest volunteer translators and the icon highlights items that are relevant for readers with technical knowledge.

Collaboration products newsletter: 2016-11Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

Our quarterly goal is to add filters to the Recent Changes page, that show ORES good-faith and damaging tests and filters around new users. The work on this is proceeding mostly as planned. We hope it shall be available as a Beta feature (only on wikis where ORES is available as a Beta feature) before the end of the quarter.

Edit Review Improvements [More information]

Recent changes

The filters design prototype for Special:RecentChanges is now stable. Development of these filters will now start. [30][31]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Notifications concerning Flow are no longer all grouped together in your preferences. The "Edits to my user talk page" category will now include Flow notifications about your user talk page (if your user talk page uses Flow), and the "Mentions" category will now include mentions on Flow pages. Previously, all notifications related to Flow were grouped together in the "Structured Discussion" category. [32]
The orange bar will now also be displayed when a message is posted on a your user talk page if your talk page uses Flow; previously, it was only displayed if you had a wikitext talk page. [33]

Logotype for Connected Open HeritageEdit

The new official Connected Open Heritage logotype.

Hi!

After the public consultation we have decided to pick Logo 1 as the new logotype for Connected Open Heritage. There was a great set of options and the decision was not easy. Thank you kindly for your work and your creativity!

Best, John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:02, 22 November 2016 (UTC) (on behalf of the COH team)

Hej!

Efter vår inhämtning av kommentarer har vi beslutat oss för att använda Logo 1 som den nya logotypen för Kopplat Öppet Kulturarv. Vi fick in en hel hög med väldigt bra förslag och beslutet var inte enkelt. Tack för ditt arbete och din kreativitet!

Vänligen, John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:02, 22 November 2016 (UTC) (för KÖK-teamets räkning)

GLAMify has completed a report for you! :)Edit

Hullo!

GLAMify has just completed a report you asked for, with suggestions for integrating media from commons:Category:Images from the Swedish National Heritage Board.

The report is waiting for you here. :) Please note that the report pages may get deleted after 60 days, so if you'd like to keep these results around, copy them somewhere else.

Your faithful servant,

Collaboration products newsletter: 2016-12Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

A decision has been made about how the Recent Changes filtering scheme will affect current ORES beta feature users. When this new filtering system rolls out as part of the beta, it will replace the current ORES display on the Recent Changes page. That means the automatic color coding, the red “r” symbol and the “hide probably good edits” filter will go away, to be replaced by the new, more nuanced set of filters and user-defined color coding. All other pages that have ORES features, like Watchlist and Related Changes, will remain as they are now for ORES beta users. We think those pages could also benefit from the new filtering system. But we'll wait to see how users react to the beta test—and make any necessary changes—before we start spreading the new UI around. That's the plan as it currently stands. As always, please let us know if you have any thoughts, in any language.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

The Filters for Special:RecentChanges description page is now finished and ready for translation.
On wikis that use ORES, new colors have been chosen for damaging changes displayed on a list of changes. [34]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Problems

Sometimes, after marking an important number of cross-wiki notifications as read, the counter remained at 1. This is now fixed. [35]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Due to a bug, it was not possible to activate Flow on user talk pages as a Beta feature. This is possible again for wikis that have that feature. [36]
Flow boards can be moved without constraints. However, this requires the move-Flow-board right. [37]

Miscellaneous

The MoodBar extension has been removed from all wikis. [38]

What's new?

Flow satisfaction survey’s results are available. The survey provides useful data on what users like and don't like about Flow. This information will be helpful in discussions recently begun as part of the editing team's Annual Plan process. As the editing team investigates its priorities for next fiscal year (which begins in July), many ideas for improvements have been suggested, including projects to research the future of wiki discussions and to fix Flow's shortcomings.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Huggle users are asked to share their feedback concerning proposed improvements for Huggle.

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Flow notifications category in the Notification Preferences page will be changed from (in English) "Flow" to "Flow Discussion". Messages that have to be updated on TranslateWiki are echo-category-title-flow-discussion and echo-pref-tooltip-flow-discussion. [42]
Mentions were not recognized when more than one section is added during the same edit or when an new section was added and a change (new message or deletion) was done in another section. This is now solved. [43]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Rich text mode is now the default in Flow replies. Some inconsistencies used to exist. Now the preference between visual mode and wikitext mode is updated when a content change is made in the selected editor, literally when it is typed in, not when it is saved or when the editor is switched. [44]
We plan to change Flow's URLs to make them more human readable. Your feedback is still welcome, the conversation will be closed on February 28th.

What's new?

We have focused all our efforts on the New filters for edit review. You will discover these filters on your wiki soon (see below).

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

The documentation concerning the new filters for recent changes has been written and marked for translation.

Future changes

We will release the ⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽ beta option on Portuguese and Polish Wikipedias March 28. This beta option adds powerful filtering and other tools as well as an improved filtering interface to the Recent Changes page (and Recent Changes Linked). To try out these new tools on these two wikis, go to the Beta tab of the Preferences page (after the 28th) and select ⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽.
In the weeks following the initial release to Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias, the New Filters for Edit Review beta will go out to the following list of Wikipedias in waves (schedule to be done):
- Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech Wikipedias and Wikidata. [45]
- English Wikipedia. [46]
- All other wikis. [47]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

<math> <hiero> <score> <syntax> <source> <ref> shortcuts are now working on Flow visual editing mode. Type a shortcut in the visual editing mode will open the control panel for the chosen option. [48]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The fourth fiscal quarter began the first of this month, and Collaboration Team has begun work on our new quarterly goals. In the coming months, we'll be working to release the New Filters for Edit Review beta on all wikis and then to improve the beta as much as possible based on user feedback. On that score, we're planning a round of user interviews on the new tools in May to get detailed information about usability and usefulness. If you've tried the new features and have thoughts, please share them with us in any language.

Our other focus right now is to look at what changes will be needed to spread the new filtering interface to other review pages, especially Watchlist. We're also exploring how to incorporate the tools we didn't include in the new interface in this round, like the Tag Filters, time-frame selector and Namespace filter.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

New Filters for Edit review are now available on Polish, Portuguese, Persian, Russian and Turkish Wikipedias as a Beta feature. French Wikipedia and Mediawikiwiki have the filters as a Beta feature too, but without the quality and intent filters. [51]
Special:RecentChangesLinked now displays a message when no results are found for a given combination of filters. [52]

Problems

Polish Wikipedia is experiencing an issue with predictions (quality and intent filters using ORES). The different predictions are in conflict. An edit can be considered as "good" and "bad" at the same time, and the filter levels are somewhat redundant. We have formulated a plan to address this and are working on a fix, which is deployed progressively on Polish Wikipedia. [53]
The issue on Polish Wikipedia is shared by a few other wikis: Dutch, Czech and Hebrew, and Wikidata. The deployment for those wikis has been postponed to Tuesday, May 9. Wikis without this predictions problem have been deployed or will be deployed with no change on the schedule. [54]
Interestingly, the "problem" with those wikis is that they perform better than we anticipated. Once the fix is in place, the tools will work with particular simplicity on these wikis.

Future changes

English Wikipedia and all wikis without ORES prediction services will get the New Filters for Edit review on Monday, April 24. [55]
All remaining wikis will get the New Filters for Edit review on Tuesday, May 9. [56]
Wikidata edits will be added as a type of change on New Filters for Edit review. [57]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Notifications badges were overlapping other tabs on Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 3.6, using MonoBook skin. This is now fixed. [58]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Flow is now available as a Beta feature on French Wikiversity. [59]
All Flow documentation is now available on one page gathering all information, to help users to search for an information.
Flow's AbuseFilter integration now allows blocking a particular user from participating on a talk page, or any topic within it. [60]

No mistake...Edit

No, it's not a mistake. I suddenly had the feeling that taking part in a contest could create a "conflict of interest" in case of sysop actions on articles or users (on it.wiki) who also take part. So I watch from outside :-) It's really a great contest, I love it! (and I discovered really interesting places in your country). Thank you :-) --Civvì (talk) 09:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well thanks for your contributions! Ainali (talk) 09:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Book prizesEdit

Re [61], it might be worth adding a note to the line at UNESCO Challenge/Prizes to say that someone is watching the page and will award these when appropriate, otherwise people will try to be helpful by trying to mark claims themselves. ;-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Collaboration products newsletter: 2017-05Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

“New Filters for Edit Review” beta released: As of May 9, the New Filters for Edit Review beta has been released to all wikis. The beta lets users review edits on Recent Changes using an easier and more powerful interface and many new tools, including user-defined highlighting and, on some wikis, predictive filters powered by ORES, a machine-learning program. You must opt in to the beta to try it out.
More features coming soon: The New Filters are still very much in development. In addition to fixing bugs and making adjustments (here’s our current to-do list), we’re actively adding new features, many at users’ request. A few notable additions you can look for this month: A cool tool for saving filter settings; a “Watchlisted pages” filter; a “Flagged Revisions” filter (for some wikis only); a “Last revision” filter.
Tell us your ideas—but don’t wait: The team is focused right now in making changes to the New Filters beta. But in a few months, we’ll be moving on to other projects. So now is the time to give the new tools a try and then tell us what you think. What works well? What could make things better for you?
In the medium-term: By the end of summer, we plan to complete a suite of improvements that will, among other things: incorporate all the remaining Recent Changes tools into the new filtering interface; create new ways for reviewers to move back and forth through the filter queue; implement a “Reverted” filter; and, finally, bring the New Filters UI and tools to Watchlist.
Have time for a talk? We're looking for people we can interview about their experiences with the new beta. If you’re a regular user of Recent Changes and have tried the new features—and if you can spare an hour to chat in English with our design researcher—please email dchen wikimedia.org with the subject line “user interview.” Let us know how to get in touch with you and what time zone (city, country...) you’re in.
Wish you had ORES on your wiki? Some of the more interesting New Filters for Edit Review features are dependent on the machine-learning service ORES, which is available only on a small but growing list of wikis. For ORES to work on a wiki, volunteers from that wiki must train it by scoring some thousands of sample edits. Here’s a link that explains how the process works and how you can get it started on your wiki.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Many Recent Changes pages have on top a list of links. We plan to integrate those links in a collapsible menu. You are invited to comment the 3 proposals we have drafted on Phabricator.
On wikis where Flagged Revisions are used, an edit highlighted as bad by ORES will not be highlighted anymore when the edit is reviewed by someone. [62]
You can highlight pages that are in your Watchlist in Recent Changes. 3 different filters are available: in watchlist, not in watchlist, new changes in watchlist. [63]
Wikidata, Dutch, Czech, Hebrew, Estonian and Finnish Wikipedia now have the new filters available as a Beta feature, and ORES is enabled by default on those wikis. [64]
All wikis now have the Recent changes Filters as a Beta feature. [65]
Users are invited to opt in to the Recent changes Filters beta when they visit the Recent Changes page. [66]
On wikis that have ORES predictions enabled by default, it is now possible to choose how to display the predictions in watchlist and recent changes pages. [67]

Future changes

It will be possible soon to save and retreive your favorite filters combinations. [68]
We are working on adding filter groups for last revisions, edits from Wikidata and reverted edits. [69][70][71]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

When an article you have created is linked to a Wikidata item, you can receive a notification. Wikidata and all the Wikivoyages have it since May 9th, other wikis will follow. [72]
Special:Notifications tabs is now set to "Unread" if there are any unread messages. [73]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

Integrated Filters

The team is moving full speed ahead on a follow-up project to the New Filters for Edit Review beta dubbed "Integrated Filters." The name refers to the fact that we are integrating the Recent Changes tools that currently remain in the old user interface (like Namespace and Tag filters), along with some tools and capabilities from Watchlist and elsewhere, into the new Recent Changes interface.
You can get an overview of the Integrated Filters projects, and the general release strategy, on the description page of the project Phabricator board. Among the more interesting new capabilities:
- Category filters: We'll be adding the ability to filter by category. This is a little tricky, since wiki categories often work in a somewhat counter-intuitive way, with the broadest categories returning the fewest results—because categories like "Science" or "Art" tend to contain not articles but other categories. So we're exploring solutions where a category search will crawl at least a layer or two down the category treat to, hopefully, bring back more useful results. [77]
- User filters: We're adding the ability to filter by any username, similar to what's available already on the the User Contributions page. [78]
- Live update: Users will have the ability to look at a more or less continuous flow of changes. This is a much requested feature that we expect will open up new possibilities for Recent Changes, especially for patrollers who want to see vandalism or other changes as they happen. While the updates won't truly be "live," the page updates will be frequent, similar to the way real-time tools (like RTRC or LiveRC) works. [79]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Have time for a talk?

We're looking for people we can interview about their experiences with the new beta. If you’re a regular user of Recent Changes and have tried the new features—and if you can spare an hour to chat in English with our design researcher—please email dchen wikimedia.org with the subject line “user interview.” Let us know how to get in touch with you and what time zone (city, country...) you’re in.

Recent changes

It is now possible to save your favorite filters sets by using bookmarks. [80]
- This feature documentation can be translated.
It is possible to filter only the last edits done on a page on the Recent Changes page. [81]
ORES review tool has been deployed to French Wikipedia. This wiki can use predictions filters. To have the predictions filters on your wiki, you need to work on the labeling campaign for your wiki or request it. [82]
There were some issues with loading highlighted results when the URL was copied and pasted. This is now fixed. [83]
A "Watchlisted pages" filter group now lets reviewers use Recent Changes, and all its tools, to patrol changes to pages they've Watchlisted. If you have any feedback about how useful this is nor isn't—especially given that we plan to add the new filtering interface to the Watchlist page — let us know.
There were issues with the tools still in the older filtering UI — like the Namespace filter and the number of results selectors. These have been fixed. [84]

Future changes

Integration of new features on recent changes pages is planned. They will include menus to filter users, tagged edits, categories and namespaces. See the "What's new" section above for more information.
Now that users can save filter settings, and declare any settings they want as the Recent Changes page default, we'll be reviewing the RC page Preferences with an eye to getting rid of as many as we can. For instance, if you want to hide minor edits or Category changes by default, you can now do that right on the RC page, instead of having to go to a separate page to manage defaults.
On many Recent Changes Pages, the community has defined a large number of links that are displayed directly under the page name (example on Polish Wikipedia). Many of these links are unrelated or only peripherally related to Recent Changes, add informational complexity of the RC page. Research shows that they are used only rarely or never. We want to clarify RecentChanges page functionality, so we plan to put the links into a collapsible panel.
- Should the panel default to open or closed? That is, should the default state (which users can change with one click) show the links as hidden or displayed? Let us know what you think.
- The most used links are shortcuts to certain type of edits, (Mobile, Newcomers...). Users can already save their favorite filter settings to the Saved Settings menu, which should make some of the existing links redundant. We plan to provide default bookmarks for the most used filters combinations. [85]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Future changes

Wikimedia Deutschland have scheduled the notifications of Wikibase notifications to Wikimedia projects: all the Wikivoyages on May 3; all the Wikipedias except en, fr, de on May 30; all other projects on June 13 and Wikipedias en, fr, de on September 5. [86]
It will be possible to restrict who can send you notifications. [87]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Flow has been activated on all talk pages on Catalan Wikiquote. [88]

Future changes

On the Beta feature page, the activation message has been review to emphase the fact that the unstructured wikitext page will be archived. [89]

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter, July 19, 2017Edit

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons?Edit

The millions of files on Wikimedia Commons are described with a lot of information or (meta)data. With the project Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons, this data is structured more, and is made machine-readable. This will make it easier to view, search (also multilingually), edit, organize and re-use the files on Commons.

In early 2017, the Sloan Foundation funded this project (see documentation). Development takes place in 2017–2020. It involves staff from the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) and many volunteers. To achieve this, Wikibase support is added to Wikimedia Commons. Wikibase is the technology that is also used for Wikidata.

Recent developments: groundworkEdit

A new and crucial technical step (federation) now makes it possible to reference data from one Wikibase website in another. Because of this, it will be possible to use Wikidata's items and properties to describe media files on Commons.
Another important piece of groundwork is under development: so-called Multi-Content Revisions. This feature allows structured data to be stored alongside wiki text, so that one wiki page can contain several types of content.

Team updatesEdit

Amanda Bittaker was hired as Program Manager for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. Amanda will take care of the overall management of the project.
Sandra Fauconnier (known as Spinster in her volunteer capacity) is the new Community Liaison. She will support the collaboration between the communities (Commons, Wikidata, GLAM) and the product development teams at the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland.
We have open positions for a UX designer and a Product Manager!

Talking with communities and alliesEdit

Long-term feedback from GLAMs. Besides the Wikimedia community, many external cultural and knowledge institutions (GLAMs - Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) are interested in Structured Data on Commons and are willing to provide feedback on the long-term plans for the project. Alex Stinson, GLAM strategist at the Wikimedia Foundation, is currently in contact with Europeana, DPLA, the Smithsonian and the National Archives of the United States. Alex is also looking for other GLAM institutions who might be able to advise on the long term. If you know of an institution or partner that may be appropriate for consultation, do get in touch with Alex.
Jonathan Morgan, design researcher, is starting to work on two projects:
- Researching batch upload workflows by interviewing GLAM institutions
- Researching the enrichment, organization and improvement tasks on already uploaded media files by engaging with active Commons contributors. This research follows up on existing research by Wikimedia Deutschland on heavy Commons users.

What comes next?Edit

The Structured Data on Commons team meets in the week after Wikimania to lay the groundwork for the next steps. This includes new backend development and design work, for better and more clear integration of the structured data in pages on Wikimedia Commons.
The project's information pages on Wikimedia Commons will receive a long overdue update in the upcoming months. The team will also work on more and better communication channels. Feedback, wishes and tips are welcome at the project's general talk page.

Get involvedEdit

Join us at Wikimania! We are present at the hackathon, and there will be a session on Saturday, August 12: Structured Commons: what changes are coming?

Collaboration products newsletter: 2017-07Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The team is currently working on three main goals, which we expect to complete this summer or in September:

Graduate New Filters for Edit Review core features out of beta:
- The core New Filters features slated to become standard parts of Recent Changes are the ones that have been out in beta for a while and fully road-tested by the community.
- These include the new filtering interface, the machine-learning filter groups “User Intent Predictions” and “Quality Predictions,” the highlighting tools, the ability to save your filter settings for later use, and the new filter groups: “Watchlisted pages,” “Last revision” and "User registration and experience."
- There’s a list of “blocker” tasks we need to complete before these features are ready to graduate out of beta.
- We expect to release those features by default in September. A more precise message will be sent to communities. If you have questions about it, you can write a message on Mediawiki.org, in any language.
Extend the New Filters to Watchlist: The Watchlists of very active editors can include thousands of pages. To help these busy folks keep up with their work, we’re adding the New Filters UX and tools to Watchlist. The Watchlist and Recent Changes pages are similar, but there is some work involved in adapting the tools to their new setting. That work should be ready some time in late summer or early fall. Stay tuned for an announcement!
Continuing work on “Integrated Filters”:
- While the New Filters for Edit Review beta brought probably 70% of the old-style Recent Changes features into the new user interface, it left some behind—like the Tag and Namespace filters and the controls for the number of days searched and number of results presented. As the name is meant to suggest, “Integrated filters” integrates those old-style tools into the new UI.
- It also adds some new tools users have asked for, such as:
  - “Live updates” which provides a near real-time automatic refresh of the Recent Changes page.
  - Category filters, which enable users to search by category.
  - User filters, which let you define searches that include or exclude edits by particular users.
- We will put the community-defined related links that cluster at the top of most Recent Changes pages into a collapsible panel, in order to clarify the Recent Changes page.

We should note that it’s not certain these last two additions will make the cut for inclusion this year. If you want a make the case for either one, we want to hear from you.

Collaboration products newsletter: 2018-03Edit

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.

Map improvements 2018 [More information]

Maps using Maplink and Mapframe functions now include an extra zoom level (level 19). This is part of the Kartographer Improvements, the number one request of the 2017 Community Wishlist survey. [168]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Number of edit to show in recent changes information text was incorrect in Special:Preferences. It has been rephrased. [169]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. That new feature has been documented. [170]
Preferences panel on Special:Notifications was overlapping other elements. This has been fixed. [171]

Future changes

An important work is under progress to allow thanks of log entry. This is done by the Community Tech team. [172]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Structured Discussions extension has been uninstalled from wikis not using it. However, it is still possible for a community to request a trial of Structured discussions. [173]

Problems

It was not possible to opt-in and opt-out Structured discussions on wikis using it as a Beta feature. It is now fixed. [174]

Future changes

The visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor interface is going to change for consistency. The toolbar, dialogs and menus will appear slightly bigger; some icons will look different. Content or functionality will not change. That change will apply to Structured Discussions as well. [175]

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Spring 2018Edit

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
- Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
- Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
- Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Nyhetsbrev fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here's our newsletter with some info on what's happening in the upcoming weeks and months.

Meet-up at Litteraturhuset, May 15^th: The introduction this evening is Silvija Seres¸who will talk about how the fourth industrial revolution changes business models, markets, how we work, and how we are. The meetup is free and open to everyone! Welcome! More info in the Facebook event.

Dispersion of Retriever accesses, May 20^th: The accesses for Retriever will be dispersed again after May 20^th. Sign up here if you're interested.

Oslo Freedom Forum, May 28^th: Wikimedia Norge is participating in the Tech Lab during Oslo Freedom Forum with a full-day editathon. Do you want to join us? Get in touch with astrid@wikimedia.no. Lunch and travel expenses can be reimbursed. This is the invitation from the Human Rights Foundation, which organizes the Oslo Freedom Forum: As a member of Norway's Wikipedia community, you are invited to spend May 28 with hundreds of human rights activists and technologists at the 2018 Oslo Freedom Forum. Wikimedia will have an area inside the venue at Sentralen in downtown Oslo to encourage participants to edit various human-rights related entries in Norwegian, English, and other languages. A key goal will be to get the dissidents, activists, journalists, and netizen and OFF attendees from more than 50 countries to get involved in editing their own country's important pages, such as country page, leader (or dictator), top activists, and any key human rights or corruption issues. Working together, we can expose the crimes of corrupt governments while also shining a light on those who are working to make the world a better place.

Bodil Biørn event at the National Archive, May 30^th: 200 photographies from Bodil Biørn's collection are kept at the National Archive. With support from the Arts Council, the National Archive is digitizing these photos, and Wikimedia Norge is transcribing them and making the content available in cooperation with Wikimedia Armenia. This afternoon we invite everyone to get more acquainted with Bodil Biørn and the National Archive's collections. More info in the Facebook event.

Conferences and festivals: The employees of Wikimedia Norge are participating in several conferences and festivals this summer to promote the Northern Sami Wikipedia. If you are going to any of them, we would love to get in touch! Reach out to astrid@wikimedia.no.; We are part of the program at Celtic Knot in Wales and Wikimania in South Africa.

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018Edit

Community updates

Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

Join the community focus group!
Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
- Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
- Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
- Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fixEdit

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Captions in JanuaryEdit

The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I was more confused by this message, since there were no previous message today (and that the message coming later did not say November). Ainali (talk) 22:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)Edit

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your supportEdit

Hello. You are receiving this message because you kindly helped with affiliates-related translations in the past. The movement needs you again! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help keen translators like you figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome. While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), you can also add others. If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :)

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia SpaceEdit

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Nyhetsbrev fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here is our newsletter for November 2019.

During one week of October, Giellavahkku, the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages was celebrated all over the country. Wikimedia Norge was recently granted money from the Sámi Parliament's language funds to create an education program in cooperation with the Sámi University of Appliec Sciences and the University of Tromsø for students to contribute to the Wikipedia in Northern Sámi, or to contribute Sámi content to other Wikimedia projects in general. We have also been granted money from Fritt Ord to put Sámi place names in Wikidata, in cooperation with the Norwegian Mapping Authority. You can read more about this work on our blog.

The jury has finished its task for this year's Wiki Loves Monuments, and the 10 winning photos that go on to the international part of the contest have been announced on the winners page on Commons. Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks a lot to all contestants and jurors!

Here's an overview of Wikimedia Norge events happening in the next few months:

Bodil Biørn and women's invisibility in history: On the 11^th of November, Wikimedia Norge and the National Archives of Norway invites you to an event at the National Archive from 17:00 till 19:00. History has often been written by and for men. This is reflected in archives, history books, and on Wikipedia. Why is it important to make source material showing women's perspective on history available? The event is free and open to all. Welcome!

Meet-up at Litteraturhuset: On the 28^th of November, Wikimedia Norge invites you to a meet-up at Litteraturhuset in Oslo from 18:00 till 19:00. Ruth Vatvedt Fjell will be presenting.; Fjell, who is quite interested in curse words, is a professor of lexicography and cares about how language can maintain unbalanced gender patterns. Wikipedia is a huge knowledge base where anyone can contribute. Therefore it's right to ask what the type of language we use means for how knowledge is disseminated?; The event is free and open to all. Welcome! Tables in the bar have been reserved from 19:00 for those who wish to continue the discussion there.

Deadline for applying for wikigrants: The 20^th of November is the deadline for applying for wikigrants. You can apply for getting expenses related to contributing to Wikimedia projects covered.

Dissemination of Retriever accesses: Also on the 20^th of November, 6 accesses to Retriever will be disseminated to active Wikipedia contributors who could use this tool to write articles.

Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here is our newsletter for January.

Wiki meet-up: During the spring of 2020, we will test out monthly wiki meet-ups at Kulturhuset in Oslo for all wiki people. No set agenda, just bring what you're working on and get help or just have a chat. Jon Harald will be there from at least 17 till 19.

Standardized Impact Template based on SDGsEdit

Dear Jan, Hello from California, 9 hours behind Amsterdam. Kindly request to schedule a time slot when you would have 10 minutes for a presentation. Re: Standardized Impact Template based on SDGs Thank you Jan. Best, Joseph ceo buysycle http://www.buysycle.com/

Hello Joseph Hentz! Can you do today at 19.00 UTC? If so, send me a wikimail and we can sort out how to connect. Ainali (talk) 06:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jan, hope this finds you very well. Checking in. Best, Joseph from Buysycle

AI legislationEdit

Dear Ainali,

I contact you since you are marked among the "People who are interested" in Advanced technology page. As you might already know, the EU is working about a regulation of the AI environment, in order to promote its potential and at the same time to protect the citizens from unwanted uses. It is going to be an important moment for achieving the most empowering, safe and clear definition of the rights and duties related to the AI, affecting also Wikimedia's opportunities, not only inside EU. I kindly invite you to participate to the discussion, firstly by commenting the page that is dedicated to it, in order to draft Wikimedia's answers to this legislative initiative of the EU.

The linked page contains the questions from the public consultation by the European Commission on its Artificial Intelligence White Paper.

The EU's survey will remain open until 14 June 2020, but we will take input into account until 31 May 2020.

Thanks, --sNappy(talk) 21:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Mall:Samma somEdit

HI! I just saw your presentation on Wikispore Day about wikisource:sv:Mall:Samma som, and it looks cool! I was just wondering if it'd qualify for a sitelink to Template:Wikidata link (Q17484365)? I've been experimenting with a similar template on English Wikisource, wikisource:Template:wdl, and I have a vague memory that Italian Wikisource does something similar, and takes it another step by using it to categorize pages according to what other concepts they link to. —Sam Wilson 06:29, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks similar, but also with a bit of a different purpose and implementation. I am not sure if it is better to link them now and then change them when more identical templates are created or keep them separate in order to not make people think there already are identical templates on the other wikis. ♥Ainali ^talk_{contributions} 10:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to affiliate members to complete a survey about WMF wide Universal Code of ConductEdit

Hello; My name is Mervat, and I am helping the Trust and Safety team to reach out to affiliates in order to discuss the Universal Code of Conduct. I am contacting you as you are a member of the Wikimedians for Sustainable Development User Group. If you have received this from other user groups/chapters, you can ignore.

There has been talks about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time, and finally, Wikimedia Foundation Board announced a Community Culture Statement, enacting new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.Since the universal code of conduct that will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe, and will impact our work as groups, individuals and projects, it’s of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC, its nature, what we think it should cover or include and what it shouldn’t include; how it may develop, drawback or help our groups. This is the time to talk about it. As you are a valuable contributor to the Wikimedia movement, your voice counts. Before starting to draft the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you; We invite you to devote some minutes to take this survey; your answers will help us create a safer environment for all on Wikimedia:

(English) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd36dNdU3C5shXEkKp9itJOhuCTx9hZE5AE-xflkxtfRMnZtg/viewform?usp=pp_url

It’s possible that you are a member of more than one affiliate; hence you may receive this survey more than once, and you may have participated previously in the discussions or filled out a previous survey during the first round of consultations about UCoC which targeted wikipedia/wikimedia communities. We apologize for this; it is really difficult to identify if a wikimedian belongs to multiple groups that work to spread free knowledge. Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and hoping that you can respond within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about the surveys or difficulties accessing the link, please contact me by email (msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org)Results will be considered during the drafting process for the UCoCThank you for your participation

MassMessage timestampEdit

Hi, I'm reaching out to you because you've used Special:MassMessage here in the last couple of months. In phab:T270435 there's a discussion about how to be able to use MassMessage when using the new "Page to be sent as a message" function, which would require an easier way of adding a timestamp. My suggestion is to add it automatically, since MassMassages are going out to discussion pages of different kinds, and should be timestamped. If you have a workflow where you don't want your message to be timestamped, please let me now on my talk page or in the Phabricator ticket. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 14:15, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Nyhetsbrev nr. 19 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Happy new year, and congratulations with 20 years of knowledge dugnad!

The English Wikipedia was launched on the 15th of January, 2001. The theme of the 20-year celebration is celebrating the people behind Wikipedia – all of you who have contributed in some way to make us able to celebrate 20 years of free knowledge. Due to the pandemic, we can't celebrate in-person at the moment, but we hope to be able to organize a celebration within the year.

Submit a greeting: We have made a congratulatory page where anyone can send their regards to Wikipedia. We hope it will be a nice page that shows why Wikipedia is as important as ever. Submit your greeting now!

Wiki meet-up: The next wiki meet-up will be on January 27th. Karl Wettin from Wikimedia Sverige will participate, giving a presentation of Wikispeech… This is an exciting open-source project about crowdsourced voice synthesis. It also has applications well beyond the Wikimedia projects. Any suggestions for future meet-up topics are very welcome at the bottom of the meet-up page!

Events to look forward to in 2021

Wikimedia Norge's general assembly will be held on the 6th of March. It will be held entirely online this year, just like last year. More information coming soon.
We are planning a digital administrator meet-up for all administrators in the Wikipedias in Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk, probably in March. If you are interested in helping organize this, please contact Jon Harald.
Arctic Art+Feminism: We will organize four editathons during 2021, where the theme is female artists and indigenous art. More information coming soon.
WikiGap: If the pandemic allows, there will be a WikiGap event at the Swedish Embassy in Oslo. We hope to see you there! This year's theme is female activists from South America.
Arctic Knot: In June, we will organize the Wikimedia language conference, Arctic Knot. This is a continuation of the Celtic Knot series of conferences. More information coming soon!

New membership system: We are implementing a new membership system. What does this mean for you? Hopefully, as little as possible. For us, however, it means better follow-up of our members. Next week, we will send out a newsletter containing information about membership fees for 2021, among other things. They can be paid via Vipps or via AvtaleGiro. If you have already paid your dues for 2021, you can discard this.

Survey from the Wikimedia Foundation: The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for answers to this survey from Wikimedians around the world. The WMF has made a Norwegian translation of the survey. You can answer it anonymously without sharing an email address, but if you do, you shouldn't close the browser before you have completed the survey.

Have you already paid your membership fees for 2021? If not, you can always do so by re-registering on this page.

Nyhetsbrev nr. 20 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

General assembly: This year's general assembly was held on March 6th, and the minutes are available here. Amongst other things, it was decided to give Wikimedia Norge an official name in Southern Sámi, Lule Sámi and Kven. That means that we now have 6 official names: Wikimedia Norge (Norwegian Bokmål), Wikimedia Noreg (Norwegian Nynorsk), Wikimedia Norga (Northern Sámi), Wikimedia Vuodna (Lule Sámi), Wikimedia Nöörje (Southern Sámi) and Wikimedia Norja (Kven).

New board

Hogne Neteland exited the board after many years of service, we would like to thank him for his efforts! Sigrun Espe continues as board chair. The board has two new board members:

Fredrik Ljone, Bergen. Board member, elected for the 2021–2023 term. Ljone is dedicated to sharing knowledge, open data and rule of law. He has taken the initiative to make the law more accessible for everyone through jusleksikon.no and rettspraksis.no.
Stian Amadeus Antonsen, Oslo. Deputy board member, elected for the 2021–2022 term. Antonsen has a lot of experience from different civil society organizations, and works as a political advisor in the Norwegian Students' and Academics' International Assistance Fund (SAIH). He is dedicated to diversity and inclusion, and wants everyone to be able to share in the production and dissemination of knowledge.

Welcome to them both!

Arctic Knot: On June 24–25, Wikimedia Norge will organize the digital Arctic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference.; Wikipedia is a cornerstone of the digital age, but the knowledge you'll find isn't evenly distributed across languages. The Wikimedia movement is about to implement its 2030 strategy, while UNESCO is working on the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), which starts in 2022. IDIL shows the potential that technology has in supporting and maintaining indigenous languages. These milestones form a frame for the conference, where we will discuss linguistic diversity in the Wikimedia projects, and how to build good linguistic environments for the users of indigenous and underrepresented language communities.; Arctic Knot is a conference for all Wikipedians and Wikimedians who are interested in indigenous languages, and also for organizations and institutions working in this field. This year's special focus will be on the Sámi languages. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Jon Harald Søby at jhsoby@wikimedia.no.

Administrator meetup: On Saturday, March 20, we held a administrator meetup for the Norwegian-language Wikimedia projects. There were 10 participants, of which one is a Wiktionary administrator, and the rest are administrators on the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia. The meetup was initiated by Wikimedia Norge on request from the community.; During the meetup there was a walkthrough of "hidden" or little-known administrator tools, like mass deletion, new blocking options and patrolling tools. There was also broad agreement that there is a need to update and centralize rules and guidelines on-wiki.

Wikimedia Enterprise: With its new project Wikimedia Enterprise, the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a way to cooperate with commercial actors like Google and Amazon. A lot of commercial actors are already using Wikimedia content, but without any formal agreements or financial compensation. Wikimedia Enterprise is meant to be a service that will improve the user experience of Wikimedia outside of the Wikimedia platforms, and also be financially self-sustaining.; According to an article in Wired, the Wikimedia Foundation wants to make the effort of the volunteers more visible, and stimulate the tech giants to help contribute to the volunteer community.

Wikipedia 20 years: The Norwegian minister of education, Guri Melby, has sent a video message to all Wikipedians in connection with the 20th anniversary! Go have a look! Remember that you too can send a message!

Nyhetsbrev nr. 21 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

Arctic Knot: On June 24–25, the Arctic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference is finally under way! The conference is fully digital, and we hope you'll find the program interesting! There will be exciting talks and panel debates, and an opportunity to get to know projects like Abstract Wikipedia and Wikisource.; The full program is now available on Meta-Wiki, and you can read more about the conference on our blog.; Registration for the conference has opened, and participation is free of charge.; You can register all the way up until the conference starts, but if you wish to participate in the Unlocking the potential of digital language archives session, you need to register by June 20th in order to be able to use the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR) as the session is happening.; The program is varied and exciting, and we think everyone will find something interesting in the program.; Du you wish to contribute to the conference as a volunteer? All participation is very welcome!; Maybe you'd like to help test the platform we'll be using beforehand? Or do you have any questions you think should be raised during the panel debate? Maybe you'd like to contribute with entertainment of some sort? Get in touch on arcticknot@wikimedia.no!

The monthly contest on Wikipedia: The subject of June's monthly contest will be artists. Edits to all articles on artists will yield points, but we hope many would like to write about Sámi and other indigenous artists!

Wikimania: This year's Wikimania will also be fully digital, enabling even more people to participate. The theme will be 20 years of Wikipedia, so it is a time to celebrate what the Wikimedia movement has achieved, and look back on the journey that led us here. You can now propose sessions for Wikimania. If you have an idea for a session, but are not sure about how to angle it, feel free to get in touch with us. We can help with brainstorming and whatever else you need!

Wiki meet-ups: It's not long before we can hold in-person meet-ups again, and some plans are already under way. It would be great for more people to be able to join meet-ups. Wikimedia Norge can help financially if you wish to organize a meet-up where you live.; We will still be organizing meet-ups, workshops and admin meet-ups at (ir)regular intervals, either digitally or in-person. If you have any ideas for topics, feel free to get in touch with Jon Harald (jhsoby@wikimedia.no)!

Thank you for your support!Edit

Hello, Ainali:

We wanted to THANK YOU for expressing your support in our grant application to develop Web2Cit: Visual Editor for Citoid Web Translators and for volunteering to take part in the project. We have great news to share: our proposal has been approved!

In the following weeks, we will be processing some paperwork and refining our next steps for this project. We aim to give updates so you can follow the development of the project and you can understand when and how you can contribute!

But for now, we wanted to thank you and invite you to celebrate with us!

Both Diegodlh and myself are very thankful for your support. --Scann (talk) 12:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Swan of healing.

Following up on the August, September, October, November, January, February, March, and April SWAN meetings, as well as last June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, as well as strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates including Movement Charter + Movement Strategy/Events, WMF Board elections, Wikimania 2021, and Grants Regional Committees.

This month we are meeting on Sunday June 6, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

(UTC meeting times are 03:00 UTC and 18:00 UTC – *Note that we have shifted the second call an hour earlier in UTC time due to popular demand and to accomodate daylight savings*.)--Pharos (talk) 20:41, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

A big thank you for organizing #WikiForHumanRights! And please give us feedback!Edit

Both UN Human Rights and the WMF team are really grateful. Initial data suggests that this year we doubled the volume of content created and grew the campaign in languages and geographies. This kind of activation only works when we have local-organizers doing targeted outreach to their communities.

We are still learning how to organize this campaign, would like your feedback. Please fill out this survey at: this google form.

We will use the summary of findings and recommendations from the survey for the report on the campaign and for designing next year’s campaign. Our hope is to support more decentralized events, potentially with less experienced organizers -- so we need your help understanding what worked, what didn’t and what kinds of preparation we need to help communities with next year.

Please note that the collected information in this survey will be treated as in WikiForHumanRights Organizer Feedback Privacy Statement.--MBakni (WMF) (talk) 19:15, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Eventbrite and Wikimania, form questions: privacy implicationsEdit

Dear Ainali,

I have just seen your lonely comment in Talk:Wikimania 2021 Registration Form Privacy Statement while trying to register for Wikimania 2021 from my home wiki using a throwaway email account. Despite contributing to WP projects for +10 years, it will be my first Wikimania, so maybe I am commenting on the obvious and beating the dead horse, but I could not find any such comments in the 2020 and 2019 editions either.

I am wondering about it myself, also given the strange questions on the registration form and the use of the Eventbrite platform (which I also commented on in the registration form itself) and I would have asked the same question as you had. I was going to elaborate on it as per below, but I cannot query the organizers' motives there, as I do not have an account in Wikimedia Foundation platform, so I am addressing you here instead for a while, in case you know the meta background and their minds better.

The form is asking about our sexual preferences and age bracket inter alia, and not about e.g. problems with vision, hearing, technical means and access (or occasional lack thereof, see the valuable relevant initiatives of local wikis)
The form is asking us about our WP account name (not required but still)
The form is hosted on and the data processed by Eventbrite (huh?)
The resulting email I have received does not give me the working link yet, only "1 eTicket, The organizer will follow up with instructions on how to redeem your ticket and access the event." so I will likely need to repeat it using another throwaway account.

Myself I have been joejobed, trolled etc. on two WP wikis at least and my colleagues receive daily death threats (!) from wikicrazies, so I have always been wary of further doxxing.

Update: oh, they also "license" these replies and then give a "cool tool privacy award".

I will self-consciously wax conspiratorial here: white is black, war is peace, (our individual) ignorance is (somebody's organisational) strength.... Zezen (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Nyhetsbrev nr. 22 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

Arctic Knot – a big success: The final thing we did before the summer holidays was to hold the Arctic Knot Conference. We spent most of 2021 preparing the conference, and the conference lasted for two days with a lot of participation. Most of the videos from the conference are available in this playlist on YouTube.

13–17 August: Wikimania; Wikimania starts tomorrow, and the deadline for registering is midnight UTC tonight. Wikimania lasts for 5 days, and the program is adapted to multiple timezones, so it will take place at various parts of the day. There are plenty of interesting submissions!; Wikimedia Norge is participating with a workshop. The workshop's goal is to further develop the idea of a Wikimedia hub for underrepresented language communities. Everyone is welcome to participate!

Next wiki meet-up: 25 August; The first meet-up of the fall will be about Abstract Wikipedia. We will watch Denny Vrandečić's presentation from Arctic Knot together, and discuss afterwards. The meet-up will take place on Google Meet, and start at 17.00 CEST. Simply explained, Abstract Wikipedia is about writing articles as functions in order to make them language-independent.

International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples: 9 August marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, and we wrote a blog post based on some of the presentations from the Arctic Knot Conference.

Wikipedia 20 years: Due to Wikipedia's 20 year anniversary, we have received video greetings from government ministers and the President of the Sámi Parliament. You can watch the videos here. The greetings are for everyone who has contributed to Wikipedia during its 20 years of existence – thank you very much for your efforts!; Wikipedia in Norwegian turns 20 in November. This will be celebrated at the November meet-up; further information will come later.

Interview RequestEdit

Hi Ainali!

My name is Seve, and I am a Product Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am reaching out to GLAM users as part of an upcoming research study I am conducting.

If you want to learn more details about participating in this study, I'd be happy to give you a call and explain more.

Thank you, Seve

Nyhetsbrev nr. 23 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

Wikipedia in Norwegian Bokmål is turning 20!: The Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia turns 20 on November 26, and this will be celebrated during the December 1 wiki meet-up. That will be a virtual meet-up with a quiz and other fun. Do you wish to receive a 20th anniversary T-shirt? Send us your address and size (S–XL) to wikimedia@wikimedia.no!; Here's more information about the meet-up.

Giellavahkku and Sámi work: Maybe you've been wondering why there's been so much Sámi stuff in social media lately? The reason is the Sámi language week, Giellavahkku, which aims to make the Sámi languages more visible. The Sámi languages, culture and history are an important part of the diversity of knowledge. We have summarized the work we're doing with regards to Sámi languages in this blog post.; The Lapp Codicil was repatriated to the Sámi Archives this month, after a long process. The Lapp Codicil is still the base of the laws for borders in the North of Scandinavia. It will soon also be available on Wikimedia Commons.

Queer culture year 2022: Througout 2022, the queer culture year (Skeivt kulturår) will be marked in Norway. In preparation for this, we have uploaded 139 interviews by the Queer Archive to Wikimedia Commons. We also have several other projects planned for next year.; – The fact that queer experiences, history and culture aren't reflected online is a blank spot in our common history, says Heide Rohde Rafto, acting academic director of the Queer Archive of Norway. She adds that queer history is not only the history of LGBT+ people, but of the whole of society.; By engaging in the queer cultural year, we are hoping to fill in these blank spots. And we're doing this from a diversity point of view – it's not all about gender and sexuality, but also about individuality and the people who have made an effort to effect change.

Language Diversity Hub: Diversity of knowledge shouldn't just be limited to Norway. Through international cooperations, we are hoping to create a gathering point for those who are working on indigenous and underrepresented languages. In this project we are joined by several participants of the Arctic Knot Conference this summer. You can read more about this work on this page.

Retriever: It will soon be time to disperse access tokens for Retriever again. You can sign up from November 15. Reminders will be posted on Torget and Samfunnshuset when the sign-up opens.; Wikimedia Sverige have a separate deal with the Swedish Retriever. They have many access tokens available, and can share them with Norwegian volunteers as well. Only Swedish media is available through their deal. Sign up on this list on the Swedish Wikipedia if you're interested in getting access to the Swedish Retriever.

Wikigrants: Now that society has reopened, there are more opportunities to go out and about! There are several activities you can apply for a wikigrant for. All Wikimedia contributors can apply for a grant of up to 8,000 NOK. The grant must be used for activities that support one or more Wikimedia projects, and the application deadline is November 20.

IFTTT IntegrationEdit

Hi Ainali!

I have been investigating the issue with the IFTTT integration that @SLaporte (WMF) had originally created. We do not have the capacity to continue to maintain this service but we've identified the work required to fix the broken integration. The code itself is on Github and hosted on toolforge. Stephen said you might be someone who uses the Wikipedia IFTTT and thought I reach out to see if you're interested in adopting?

Please let me know your thoughts, SKim (WMF) (talk) 16:06, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I am a consumer of the IFTTT channels, but don't have the knowledge to fix anything myself (I am not a developer). ♥Ainali ^talk_{contributions} 20:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Nyhetsbrev nr. 24 fra Wikimedia NorgeEdit

Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

English Wikipedia most visited: Statistics for pageviews to encyclopedias in Norway in 2021 were recently shared on Torget. Not surprisingly, Wikipedia is the most-visited encyclopedia; the English-language edition is slightly ahead of the Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk editions (combined), with 348 and 325 million pageviews, respectively. In comparison, the next encyclopedia on the list, Store norske leksikon, had 112 million pageviews. The numbers speak for themselves: Wikipedia is where people go to learn.; It is also a reminder that Wikipedians' efforts are incredibly important. We hope these numbers can help motivate both new and experienced contributors.; Thanks to H@r@ld for sharing this information.

Bot workshop: On Sunday 27 February from 12:00–16:00, we will hold a bot workshop! We will go through how to set up and run the most common bot framework, Pywikibot, on PAWS, and show some of the most common standard scripts in Pywikibot.; Maximum 10 participants! Sign up on the meet-up page or via e-mail to jhsoby@wikimedia.no.

Year of Queer Culture: panel debate in Bergen; On Thursday 24 March, Wikimedia Norge and the National Archive for Queer History will hold a panel debate at Litteraturhuset, Bergen. The theme for the debate is how archives, museums and Wikipedia can make queer history, art and culture more visible. IT will also examine how we use contemporary labels for the past. A common understanding of what queer history is will help us to make queer history more visible.; The event is part of the Year of Queer Culture 2022.

Wiki meet-up and general assembly in Bergen: Wikimedia Norge will host a wiki meet-up with pizza and something to drink at Villa Paradiso Ole Bull on 25 March, starting 18:30. Register on the wiki meet-up page or by e-mail to wikimedia@wikimedia.no.
The next day, on 26 March from 12–14, we will hold our general assembly, taking place at Litteraturhuset, Bergenː All members are welcome! The general assembly will also be streamed for those who can't be there in person, and voting will happen digitally.: Active contributors can get a travel stipend. Send an e-mail to astrid@wikimedia.no in order to apply.

Remember membership fees before the general assembly!: You can finally use Vipps to set up a regular, annual payment of your membership. We have updated our website and hope even more people will use a recurring payment. If you wish to use AvtaleGiro, that is also still possible.; Remember that you must have paid your membership fee for 2022 in order to vote at the general assembly.
