FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.

The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

No editing for 30 minutes on 17 January

You will not be able to edit the wikis for up to 30 minutes on 17 January 07:00 UTC. This is because of a database problem that has to be fixed immediately. You can still read the wikis. Some wikis are not affected. They don't get this message. You can see which wikis are not affected on this page. Most wikis are affected. The time you can not edit might be shorter than 30 minutes. /Johan (WMF)

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

CEE Spring 2019 — international article contest — looking for local coordinator

Wikimedia CEE Spring logo

Wikimedia CEE Spring 2019 is annual article writing contests which will happen for the 5th time this year. International team is looking for a local coordinator from each country in Central and Eastern Europe and we need one from Lithuania. Local coordinator is responsible for:

• Creating article list about Lithuania (can be reused form last year; recommendation: 100 topics which have decent article in English Wikipedia, do not need to be most important topics about Lithuania)
• Creating local information page about contest
• Promoting contest (site notice, social media, talk page messages,...)
• (Optional) evaluate results and decide on winners in several categories. International team will provide automatic statistics if you create a talk page template and add to all new articles. You can get prize money for winners (up to 400 EUR) from the international team.

If you are interested, sign up as local coordinator on this page. --Papuass (aptarimas) 16:49, 10 kovo 2019 (EET)

@Zygimantus:, @Hugo.arg: as past organizers, are you willing to do it again? @Vogone:, how about you? --Papuass (aptarimas) 16:49, 10 kovo 2019 (EET)

@Papuass: Unfortunately, I am too much involved in real life until approximately mid-April for taking on any additional resposibilities, and unlikely to participate here due to the reasons outlined by Hugo.arg (just half-native Lithuanian skills which would require someone to copyedit my contributions, though I am working on improving it :-)). However, if some organisational help is needed after mid-April, I will be available. --Vogone (aptarimas) 02:44, 17 kovo 2019 (EET)

@Vogone: maybe you would consider helping in contest evaluation phase? That would involve naming winners and distributing the prizes (these can be online gift cards). --Papuass (aptarimas) 15:24, 18 kovo 2019 (EET)

I could be the coordinator but do not promise to be an active colaborator (spring is the worst time for such contests...). The project wasn't very successful in the past as it mainly atracts only these users who have serious problems with translation and spelling... Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 17:19, 10 kovo 2019 (EET)

Would you sign up here and create Lithuanian list here? (last years list). I would not worry about spring being not good time, you can never fully understand why people start contributing. It has been a steady increase each year on Latvian Wikipedia. --Papuass (aptarimas) 12:36, 13 kovo 2019 (EET)

@Hugo.arg: I copied list from last year. See if you can replace more covered topics with new ones. --Papuass (aptarimas) 10:30, 18 kovo 2019 (EET)

@Papuass: Unfortunately, no, I will be busy this time. @Hugo.arg: please don't judge people, because you have made also a spelling mistake.--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 23:48, 18 kovo 2019 (EET)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Qwarc (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Einsbor (aptarimas) 10:36, 1 balandžio 2019 (EEST)

Today I removed admin status from the said user. Einsbor (aptarimas) 16:52, 15 balandžio 2019 (EEST)

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes

Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)

Hello all,

Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.

This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.

The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.

In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.

Here’s the planned timeline:

• From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
• From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
• Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
  • We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
  • but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round.
  • Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
  • Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.

In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.

If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:

• Read and help translating the documentation pages
• Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop
• Talk about it with your local community

More ideas will be added on this page along the way

If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.

Thanks for your attention, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 16:03, 24 birželio 2019 (EEST)

CEEM 2019 in Belgrade, Serbia

Wikimedia CEE meeting 2019

Hello, dear Lithuanian Wikipedia community!

I hope this message finds you well.

We were wondering if Lithuanian Wikipedians have chosen their representatives for the Central and Eastern European Meeting 2019, which will happen in October in Belgrade, Serbia.

The registration deadline is July 20, 2019, 23:59:59 (CEST). We have less than a week left. The registration link is here. I'm hoping that the discussions within your community about who the grant-funded delegates would be have already happened, and that people just need to register. :)

In other news, you might have heard that the submission deadline has been moved to August 10, which means that you have more than a month to come up with session proposals. Maybe this would be a good time to remind everyone that we want this and all other CEE events to be great learning experiences, so if you want to present achievements from your community, try to think of

• a good format for doing that (maybe good ol' presentation is the way to go, but maybe you can structure it as a panel or a workshop or roundtable discussion)
• a nice way to show people how your experience could be useful in their contexts, not just yours

We do have a few submissions already, but we need more, so that we can create a really good program for the conference. Even though the summer has begun, let's really try to make some creative and useful submissions, in order to fulfill the mission from the conference slogan: Broaden Your Capacity! :) You can find the instructions on how to submit a session here.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon! Please do not hesitate to ask me about any concerns you might have.

Cheers, --Bojan Cvetanović (aptarimas) 16:14, 17 liepos 2019 (EEST)

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 11:03, 16 rugpjūčio 2019 (EEST)

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

Johan (WMF)

17:18, 21 rugpjūčio 2019 (EEST)

I've read the FAQ and it looks like you have no idea how exactly are you going to implement it, and most importantly - how exactly are you going to deal with the bazillion problems it's gonna create when fighting vandalism, and last but not least why would we even need it. Editors can already protect their privacy (IP) by just registering with a user name, extremely fast and simple process. It's just ridiculous. I'm strongly against it as I also indicated in your voting page, please stop this nonsense, nobody ever asked for it and nobody needs it. --Nomad (aptarimas) 20:02, 5 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2019 — Tartu — You are invited

Place: Tartu, Estonia, date: 4–6 October 2019, more info at Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2019.

You (Lithuanian community) are invited to join other Northern European wikipedians for a weekend event in Tartu. Costs can be covered for up to 5 people.

Contact Ivo Kruusamägi if you have questions. --Papuass (aptarimas) 11:21, 4 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Last time, when I asked Lithuanian wikipedians to a meetup in here, I got blocked. So let us see how that goes.

Anyway, if you are interested to send some people, then I'd need a list of them by the beginning of next week. And if you intend to send no-one, then I'd appreciate when you would also say so to make things clear.

As Lavians are coming, then it might also be possible to join with them (they might be coming with a car from Riga and likely have some vacant places there). Kruusamägi (aptarimas) 10:59, 5 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Lithuanian Wikipedia has no formal structure, so there is no way somebody could be "sent". Likewise nobody will tell you about intentions to send no-one. And, please, don't repeat mistakes from the previous year as it might end in the same way.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 18:35, 5 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Community vote or just volunteering here with no objections might be enough. No need to formalize your community, if you do not want it. --Papuass (aptarimas) 22:45, 5 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Most likely Latvians will go from Riga with 5 of 7 seats filled in car, you are welcome to join. --Papuass (aptarimas) 22:47, 5 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

I just want to stress that even for established chapters we expect to see 2-3 newcomers with new ideas to come to Nordic meeting, so selection or motivation doesn't have to be too official or controlled. Everybody who is active in Lithuanian Wiki projects and caring for the movement and cooperation is welcome. Official selection and "sending representatives" will be relevant if there is more than five intending to participate, or maybe, if all of people coming from Lithuania are newcomers or all of them old-timers. Then we might kindly ask you to decide among yourselves, who you will "send". Besides that, we will soon have program ready and you can also jump into Slack to ask questions live! --Märt Põder (aptarimas) 21:23, 11 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

It would be nice to see any of you participating with first-hand knowledge of Lithuanian community... There's still time to plan the trip and we sincerely welcome whoever is willing to invest their time and dedication for the meeting! --Märt Põder (aptarimas) 14:22, 30 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Thank you for the invitation, I would be happy to come, but I have planed the trip to Belgrade already and two events are too much for me in a short time. Lithuanian wikipedia users are traditionally not very active in events both locally and abroad.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 20:11, 30 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

We can discuss this in Belgrade :-) Becoming more active can be incremental with small steps. --Papuass (aptarimas) 11:08, 1 spalio 2019 (EEST)

Sveiki. Kaip reiktų versti ru:Храм_Христа_Спасителя? Mačiau variantus „cerkvė“, „katedra“ bei „soboras“. Taip pat mačiau „Išgelbėtojo“ vietoje „Gelbėtojo“. Būtų gerai suvienodinti. Powermelon (aptarimas) 08:27, 18 rugsėjo 2019 (EEST)

Čia neeilinė cerkvė, nes tarnauja, kaip nastojatel, pats Patriarchas Kirilas. Rusų straipsnyje šis храм įvardijamas кафедральный собор (katedros soboras). Vlkk nieko prieš „soborą“.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

Sveiki. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Ačiū! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

bendravimo kanalai

Va, pagalvojau, kad neturi lietuviškas vikis jokio neformalaus bendravimo kanalo. Anksčiau veikė skype kanalas, bet nesu tikras ar beveikia ir ar kas nors besinaudoja? Ką naudojate šiais laikais tokiam bendravimui? gal kokią telegram grupę pasidarom ar Signal, ką naudojate? facebook messengerio nesiūlau, nors žinau jis plačiai naudojamas, nes jis sakyčiau nepatogus, įkyrus ir labai susietas su pačiu facebooku, bet gal ir tas tiktų iš bėdos?--Dirgela (aptarimas) 19:42, 17 spalio 2019 (EEST)

Jau daug metų skype apskritai nenaudoju. Facebooko irgi ne. Signal – nežinau tokio :) Telegramą naudoju --Nomad (aptarimas)

O kas tas telegramas? Matau, jog labai panašus į Viber? Realiai gal ir gerai kažkoks atskiras ir open source'inis įrankis.--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 09:34, 28 spalio 2019 (EET)

Taip, iš principo tai panašus daiktas į viber ir kitus mesendžerius. Yra va didžiausias straipsnis apie jį - Telegram. Mėgstamas, nes yra iš dalies opensource bei paprastai laikomas gana saugiu. Tai sukursiu ten grupę, gal kas nors iš to išeis.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 20:30, 3 lapkričio 2019 (EET)

@Dirgela: Gerai, tik pasakyk kaip užvadinsi, gali tarkim wikipedia-lt, mačiau jau yra kažkokia kitokia grupė nuotraukų rinkimams.--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 22:43, 4 lapkričio 2019 (EET)

Beta feature "Reference Previews"

A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.

Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.
