Wikisporadic Newsletter: September 2022

Wikispore lunch in Berlin

Wikisporadic, an Occasional Newsletter for our Germinating Community.

• Oral knowledge We held a session on oral knowledge and Wikispore as part of Options Space at Wikimedia Summit 2022 in Berlin, looking at options with several African affiliates to link out to cultural topics from Wikipedia(s). Some African communities are already doing oral knowledge documentation like the Nigerian community working on oral history as well as the growing Mozambican community working on oral history documentation in Makhuwa language. This is a way to provide more sources as well as digitize some oral parts of their history.
• Wikidata integration There is a plan to install the new UnlinkedWikibase extension, advancing the vision of Wikisprout and full Wikidata integration such as use in infoboxes.
• Movement strategy Using the Cargo and related extensions on Wikispore, work is underway to create a demo of Movement Strategy activities, adapting Baserow data from Wikimedia Summit.
• Halloween event As a Wikidata 10th Birthday event, there is hope to collaborate at the end of October with Wiki Cemeteries User Group on Grave Spore (see discussion), for maps and in-depth coverage of individual graves.

Checking votes

Hi AlPaD, please do not check other peoples (or your own) votes on the election page [1][2]. Vote checking is coordinated at Template:Stewards/Elections 2023/Voters/Check. The bot will mark checked votes [3] --Johannnes89 (talk) 09:00, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89: Hello! Sorry for checking, my mistake and thank you for your message and information. Best regards! AlPaD (talk) 13:18, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you sir for supporting to reopen the Kanuri Wikipedia, if there is any more help you can do we will surely appreciate. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MohammedBama123 (talk)

Locked global accounts

Hi AlPaD, we usually do not tag accounts with {{Locked global account}} (that's why Category:Locked global accounts contains just ~600 accounts, even though hundreds of accounts are getting locked every week). Please leave it to the stewards to decide if an account should be tagged or not. Johannnes89 (talk) 17:42, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for your message and sorry I didn't know. AlPaD (talk) 18:44, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

no problem, now you know :) Johannnes89 (talk) 21:45, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

the same applies to WMF bans [4][5]. As you can see from comparing Special:Log/WMFOffice and Special:Contributions/WMFOffice they are intentionally not tagging most sockpuppets... Johannnes89 (talk) 15:40, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

OK, thanks again :) AlPaD (talk) 06:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
