Datos[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Norėjau pasidomėti kodėl visos datos yra kreipiamos į metus/datas. Suprantu kai 2021 straipsnyje yra minimos tarkim 2020 m. vasaros olimpinės žaidynės, tai ir tame straipsnyje logiška 2021 naudoti. Bet kam dėti nuorodas į 2021 mažesnės reikšmės straipsniuose, jei jie neminimi 2021? Wolfmartyn (aptarimas) 22:22, 29 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Čia iš tradicijos taip. Visiškai sutinku, tikrai nėra prasmės. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 22:39, 29 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Na taip, tokia tradicija. Aš asmeniškai dėlioju tik dėl nuoseklumo, nes man keistai atrodytų, jei pusė straipsnių turėtų tokias nuorodas, kita pusė – ne. Tačiau dedu ne visur, parenku reikšmingesnes pagal savo nuožiūrą (gimimo/mirties data, įkūrimas ir t.t.). Iš esmės jau rašiau kažkur, kad pritarčiau „delinkinimui“, jei bendruomenė prieitų prie tokio klausimo, ar tai būtų visiškas delinkinimas kaip pas anglus, ar kažkas kaip pas vokiečius, kai asmenybių straipsniuose apibrėžime nurodomos mirties/gimimo datos ir pan...--Nestea (aptarimas) 15:46, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Na, kaip tik pats Wolfmartyn to šiais metais jau buvo klausęs, matyt, pamiršo... Iš techninės pusės tai botui čia nesunki užduotis, nors keitimų prireiktų daug. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:19, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Tvarkingumui nereikia kad arba visi žodžiai straipsnyje turėtų nuorodas, arba kad nė vienas neturėtu. Manau kad datos nėra išimtis ir specialių taisyklių joms nereikia. Greičiausia nėra prasmės negalvojant dėtį nuorodą į metų straipsnį kur nėra jokios papildomos informacijos nurodančio straipsnio tema. Botais trint gal ir neverta, nes prarasim nuorodas ir iš įvykių kurie metų straipsniuose aprašyti. AudriusA (aptarimas) 21:49, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Manau, Nesteos variantas dėti tik svarbiausiose vietose yra priimtinas ir atitinka Wolfmartyno mintį dėl nuorodų tik tais atvejais, jei tas įvykis datos/metų straipsnyje aprašytas. Panašiai, turbūt, kaip pas vokiečius. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 22:21, 30 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)
- Apskritai su tuom nuorodom slidus reikalas - kiek žmonių, tiek nuomonių ir skirtingų rašymo stilių... Būna, kas deda daugiau nuorodų, kas mažiau, kas, pvz., visai raudonų nuorodų nededa, kas - per daug. Pasitaiko ir tokių dalykų kaip: susiliejančios nuorodos, vietoje vienos, konkretesnės (banginių medžioklė; 1992–1996 m. Seimo narys), arba italas Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882); arba akivaizdžiame žodžių junginyje nuoroda į vieną žodį; besikartojančios nuorodos, dėl kurių margumyno darosi sunku skaityti (Hainuvkos apskritis, istorijos skiltis) ir t. t. ir pan. Kai kada pratrinu tas perteklines (neretai ir pasikartojančias) nuorodas, bet visko ir visur turbūt nesutikrinsi. Kažkokios tvarkos gal ir norėtųsi, bet turbūt per mažai žmogiškųjų resursų tam, net ir pagelbstint botams, o kas liečia datų nuorodas - tai čia toks daug diskutavimo reikalaujantis klausimas... Metų straipsniuose galima būtų praignoruoti, tokia vienintelė išimtis ir yra padaryta pas anglus (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Cleanbot, Wikipedia:Full-date unlinking bot).--Nestea (aptarimas) 14:23, 3 rugsėjo 2021 (EEST)
- Sutinku su Nestea dėl nuoseklumo - bet straipsnio ribose, t.y. jei straipsnyje jau daug datų, ir visos [[2021]], tai dedu ir aš. Patinka ir {{data|2021|8|31}} šablonas, kuris automatiškai sudaro nuorodas į metus bei mėnesį+dieną. Bet į naujai sukurtus straipsnius datų nuorodų nededu. Tuo tarpu kiti kolegos uoliai ištaiso mano datas į linkus :) Tai vat ir norėjau vėl pasidomėti, kuom vadovaujamės.Wolfmartyn (aptarimas) 23:32, 31 rugpjūčio 2021 (EEST)

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year[redaguoti vikitekstą]
In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities[redaguoti vikitekstą]
We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet[redaguoti vikitekstą]
We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase[redaguoti vikitekstą]
If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback[redaguoti vikitekstą]
- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 14, 2021.
The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement. Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months.
We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:
- Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
- Are ready to find compromises.
- Focus on inclusion and diversity.
- Have knowledge of community consultations.
- Have intercultural communication experience.
- Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
- Have experience negotiating with different parties.
The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.
Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? Submit your candidacy here. Please contact strategy2030
wikimedia.org with questions.

Server switch[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Read this message in another language • Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą
The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

Ieškome pagalbos WikiGap renginiui[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Laba diena,
Švedijos ambasada Lietuvoje bei Baltojo Kaspino Festivalis organizuoja WikiGap renginį (http://www.swemfa.se/wikigap/). Ieškome vieno ar kelių lietuviškosios Vikipedijos administratorių / senbuvių, kurie galėtų renginio dalyviams pristatyti Vikipedijai tinkamų straipsnių ruošimo ir įkėlimo taisykles.
Pats renginys vyks lapkričio 30 dieną, jo metu kelsime jau paruoštus straipsnius, todėl dalyvius apmokyti norime gerokai anksčiau. Apmokymas vyktų online būdu, mes įsivaizduojame, kad truktų apie 30-60 minučių.
Renginys bei pats festivalis yra nekomerciniai, nemokami renginiai, todėl ieškome pagalbos savanoriškais pagrindais.
Jei Jūs arba kas nors, ką pažįstate, norėtų mums padėti, prašau susisiekti su manim.
Dėkui, Justina
- Sveiki. Būtų gerai, kad dalyviai atidžiai susipažintų su tuo, kas pateikta Pagalba:Turinys. Beje, kokios tematikos straipsnius ketinama kurti? Ar bus verčiama iš kitų vikipedijų? --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 11:12, 19 spalio 2021 (EEST)
- Dėkoju už patarimus, būtent Pagalbos skyreliu daugiausiai ir naudojamės. Deja, neradome kas mums padėtų iš senbuvių, todėl kol kas "apsimokome" patys.
- Straipsnius kursime apie asmenybes - žymias Lietuvos moteris, todėl tikriausiai nebus verčiama, nes tiesiog nėra apie jas straipsnių kitomis kalbomis.
- Stengiamės orientuotis į kokybę, ne kiekybę. Prašome patarti, jei pastebėsite, kad kažką darome ne taip, dėkoju. JustinaBa (aptarimas) 01:16, 29 lapkričio 2021 (EET)
Valstybių vėliavų straipsniai[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Kaip vėliavų straipsnių pradinis sakinys turėtų būti rašomas? Dabar straipsnių pradiniai sakiniai ypač skiriasi, tai manau, kad būtų gerai juos standartizuoti. Dažniausiai straipsnis patenka į vieną iš trijų variantų:
- XYZ vėliava – vienas iš oficialių XYZ valstybės simbolių.
- XYZ vėliava – trispalvė, sudaryta iš trijų juostų.
- XYZ vėliava buvo įteisinta 1234 m. sausio 1 d.
Kuris labiausiai tinka? Etoza (aptarimas) 23:12, 23 spalio 2021 (EEST)
- Standartizuoti išties reikėtų. Turėtų būti pirmasis variantas (kadangi tai aiškus apibrėžimas). Ta pati problema dažna ir valstybių herbų straipsniuose. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 23:28, 23 spalio 2021 (EEST)

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections[redaguoti vikitekstą]
- You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.
While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:
- What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
- What involvement should candidates have during the election?
While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.
Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?
Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msgwikimedia.org.
Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.
With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.
The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.
To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.
The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.
Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.
Sincerely,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Ne tiek kad propagandą, bet 'advocacy'. Šito Vikipedijoje neturėtų būti. Gal tegul, pvz., pasiūlo visuotinę Pakistano inciatyvą - tikiu, indams labai "patiktų". Aišku, čia šita bėda graužia Vikipediją (na, laimei, ne LT, o anglų labiau) jau seniau, su visokiom "moterų" iniciatyvom ir panašiai. Taip palengva imama prasilenkti su neutralumu, kai atsiranda visokios 'palaikomos' ir 'prerogatyvinės' temos. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 18:18, 24 vasario 2022 (EET)

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello!
The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.
Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.
The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Greetings,
The ratification voting process for the revised enforcement guidelines of the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) came to a close on 21 March 2022.

Next steps: Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) and UCoC Enforcement Guidelines[redaguoti vikitekstą]
After reviewing vote results and accompanying comments, the Community Affairs Committee decided to launch a fresh round of community consultations. After that, the refined text of the Guidelines will be put for another vote.
The comments have shown that community members unequivocally support creating a safe and welcoming culture that stops hostile and toxic behaviour, supports victims of such actions, and encourages good-faith people to be productive on the Wikimedia projects. While the results did show that support for the UCoC Guidelines exceeded the required 50%+1 vote, the comments highlighted that further revisions would be required to have strong community support to follow through with enforcement.
Therefore the Committee instructed the Foundation to:
Conduct another round of community consultations, and put the newly-refined Guidelines for a community vote.
The WMF team will seek feedback on four topics that stood out among the voter comments. You can learn more about the four topics and the Committee's findings on this Meta page.

In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Call for Election Volunteers[redaguoti vikitekstą]
The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.
The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.
There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?
Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
- Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
- Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions
Volunteers should:
- Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
- Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner
Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up here to receive updates. You can use the talk page for questions about translation.

Report on Voter Feedback from Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines Ratification[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello all,
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) project team has completed the analysis of the feedback accompanying the ratification vote on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines.
Following the completion of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines Draft in 2022, the guidelines were voted on by the Wikimedian community. Voters cast votes from 137 communities, with the top 9 communities being: English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Italian Wikipedias, and Meta-wiki.
Those voting had the opportunity to provide comments on the contents of the Draft document. 658 participants left comments. 77% of the comments are written in English. Voters wrote comments in 24 languages with the largest numbers in English (508), German (34), Japanese (28), French (25), and Russian (12).
A report will be sent to the Revision Drafting Committee who will refine the enforcement guidelines based on the community feedback received from the recently concluded vote. A public version of the report is published on Meta-wiki here. The report is available in translated versions on Meta-wiki. Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą
Again, we thank all who participated in the vote and discussions. We invite everyone to contribute during the next community discussions. More information about the Universal Code of Conduct and Enforcement Guidelines can be found on Meta-wiki.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello all,
We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.
Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.
Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.
Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

Enabling Section Translation: a new mobile translation experience[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Sveiki Lithuanian Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in Lithuanian language, Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą.
The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section translation tool in Lithuanian Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:
- Give us your feedback
- Ask us questions
- Tell us how to improve it.
Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.
Background information
Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and help us with feedback to make it better.
Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:
- Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.
- Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.
Lithuanian Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since data shows significant mobile editing activity.
We plan to enable the tool on Lithuanian Wikipedia in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:
- As a reply to this message
- On the project talk page.
Try the tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Lithuanian Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.
Provide feedback
Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:
- The tool
- What you think about our plans to enable it
- Your ideas for improving the tool.
Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback and questions.
UOzurumba (WMF) (aptarimas) 08:56, 7 liepos 2022 (EEST) On behalf of the WMF Language team

Section Translation tool enabled in Lithuanian Wikipedia[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello Friends!
The Language team is pleased to let you know that the Section Translation tool is now enabled in Lithuanian Wikipedia. It means you can translate real content one section at a time using your mobile devices with ease.
Now you can also start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Lithuanian. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for lietuvių. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.
Content created with the tool will be marked with the “sectiontranslation” tag for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tool and reviewing the content created with it.
So, enjoy the tool and provide feedback on improving it.
Thank you!

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hi all,
Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
- July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
- July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
- July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hi all,
Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
- Here is the timeline for the Election Compass
- July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
- July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
- July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
- August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
- August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements

The Affiliate organizations selected representatives to vote on behalf of the Affiliate organization. The Affiliate Representatives proposed questions for the candidates to answer in mid-June. These answers from candidates and the information provided from the Analysis Committee provided support for the representatives as they made their decision.
Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation.
Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.
What can voters do now?
Review the results of the Affiliate selection process.

Central and Easter Europe Meeting 2022[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello!
Lithuanian community can send up to two representatives to a regional meeting in Ohrid, North Macedonia in mid-October. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the organizers.
As there is no formally established organization representing Lithuanian Wikimedia community, it would be enough to apply here in the forum and other community members could approve or object.
The prerequisites would be:
- Some past activity in Lithuanian Wikimedia projects
- Ability to communicate in English
- It is expected that you spend your time at the conference and report your experience back to the community.
From a personal experience I can suggest using this opportunity as it has been a motivational boost for my own activities in Wikimedia projects. Papuass (aptarimas) 15:20, 29 liepos 2022 (EEST)

Delay of the 2022 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hi all,
I am reaching out to you today with an update about the timing of the voting for the Board of Trustees election.
As many of you are already aware, this year we are offering an Election Compass to help voters identify the alignment of candidates on some key topics. Several candidates requested an extension of the character limitation on their responses expanding on their positions, and the Elections Committee felt their reasoning was consistent with the goals of a fair and equitable election process.
To ensure that the longer statements can be translated in time for the election, the Elections Committee and Board Selection Task Force decided to delay the opening of the Board of Trustees election by one week - a time proposed as ideal by staff working to support the election.
Although it is not expected that everyone will want to use the Election Compass to inform their voting decision, the Elections Committee felt it was more appropriate to open the voting period with essential translations for community members across languages to use if they wish to make this important decision.
The voting will open on August 23 at 00:00 UTC and close on September 6 at 23:59 UTC.
Best regards,
Matanya, on behalf of the Elections Committee

Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello everyone,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:
- To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
- To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
- To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
- To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.
Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta, and a comparison page in some languages.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revised Enforcement Guidelines talk page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are a series of conversation hours planned about the Revised Enforcement Guidelines; please see Meta for the times and details.
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.
- Top of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default)
-
Vector 2022
- A section of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default)
-
Vector 2022
About the skin[redaguoti vikitekstą]
[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
How can editors change and customize this skin?[redaguoti vikitekstą]
It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.
Our plan[redaguoti vikitekstą]
If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
Also, if you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will also gladly answer! See our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (aptarimas) 06:14, 22 rugsėjo 2022 (EEST)
Permainos[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Kaip kolegoms patinka? Paveikslėliai, koordinatės susigrūdo, infolentelės liko be rėmų. Įrankių juostos kairėje ir viršuje pasislėpė, ypač erzina, kad kalbinių nuorodų nebesimato. Permainos dėl permainų. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 10:17, 25 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Permainos nelabai vykusios, mano galva. Slėpti įrankių juostas, net kalbines nuorodas – perdėtas minimalizmas. Kam tie nereikalingi pelės paspaudimai? Naujokai ir taip neretai sunkiai susigaudo, o dabar bus dar sunkiau, suprastėjus discoverability. Įsijungiau senąjį vektorinį. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:25, 25 spalio 2022 (EEST)

- Neįmanoma nesutikti su dauguma čia pasisakiusių. Nauja išvaizda yra madingesnė (matyt, labiau pritaikyta Z kartai). Bet kaip sakė senukas Miltinis, neieškokit naujo, ieškokit amžino. Mat nauja tai bus tik šiandien, o ryt jau taps sena. Tiesa, apmaudu, kad Wiki naudotojai tiesiog pastatomi prieš faktą, t.y. нравится не нравится - терпи, моя красавица.
- Kita vertus, prievartinis pakeitimas tapo akstinu nusistatyti pas save MonoBook išvaizdą. Kiek joje daug telpa (našiau naudojamas brangus resursas, t.y. ekrano plotas), koks puikus readability + kraunasi daug greičiau. BigHead (aptarimas) 12:07, 31 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Hi @Obivan Kenobi, you wrote "Paveikslėliai, koordinatės susigrūdo, infolentelės liko be rėmų. Įrankių juostos kairėje ir viršuje pasislėpė, ypač erzina, kad kalbinių nuorodų nebesimato".
- "Paveikslėliai, koordinatės susigrūdo" - we have prepared an instruction how to fix that. The reason why the coordinates aren't placed correctly now is because on this wiki, not standard code is used for them. Several years ago, the page status indicator tag was created - this is the standard code for this kind of elements. If you use it here, the coordinates and other icons will be "future-proof", meaning, far less likely not to work with anything in the future.
- "Infolentelės liko be rėmų" - could you point at a page where you can see this issue? It seems to me that the problem might be on the side of the local code rather than the skin itself, but I can't really tell or help until I see an example. Thank you!
- SGrabarczuk (WMF) (aptarimas) 03:57, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Hi @SGrabarczuk (WMF). This is an example of how the random article looks in the new and old versions of the skin (please see the picture). As you can see, problems arise not only with the coordinates and the frame of the infobox, but also with the arrangement of the tables and in some articles with the images as well. Ok, maybe some problems are easy to solve, but adapting tens of thousands of articles to the new changes is beyond the power of such a small community. There are more problems with the new skin, mentioned above and below in the discussion, and my opinion is that such a radical change should require a community vote. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 10:33, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Hello @Obivan Kenobi, thank you for more details. Indeed, there are a few issues. I've addressed the coordinates part above; regarding the infobox, I just never know why the templates may work differently with Vector 2022. These should be two different things. Does the infobox in that article look good now when you look at it? For me, it looks like expected.
- About the tables and images, and design of the articles overall - this is also a valid point. Nevertheless, as some technically-skilled Wikimedians point out, this has always been a problem for users of not-that-high-resolution devices, such as smaller desktop screens or tablets. Vector 2022 makes it more apparent. I don't have any solution in mind just yet, so I'll contact Wikipedians I've talked to about this problem. Soon I'll update you, I hope.

- Na, leidimo niekas neprašė, tik klausė, ar būtų kokių pastabų. Iš didžiųjų wiki naujoji versija įdiegta prancūziškojoje, portugališkojoje. Angliškojoje wiki mačiau diskusiją, balsavimą, tik dabar to puslapio neberandu. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:13, 26 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Radau: en:Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Deployment_of_Vector_(2022). --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:28, 26 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Tokiu atveju kiekvienoje Vikipedijoje turėtų leisti rengti diskusiją ir balsavimą prieš pradėdami šią aplinką naudoti. Ar ne taip?--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 20:32, 26 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Turėtų spręsti bendruomenė, o ne Vikimedijos fondo funkcionieriai. Palaukime, ką pasakys SGrabarczuk (WMF). Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:38, 26 spalio 2022 (EEST)

Negalim atsilikti nuo laikmečio (minimalizmo), nors dizainas turi trūkumų (koord. ir pan.). Kaip ir bet kokiom permainom žmonės priešinsis. 20 m. su tuo pačiu dizainu negyvensi, nors ir nesakau, kad jis buvo prastas, gal tik neatitinkantis šių dienų.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 09:38, 27 spalio 2022 (EEST)
Tam ir yra palikta senoji versija redaktoriams. O naujoji skaitytojams.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 09:48, 27 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Vikipedija yra enciklopedija, madų vaikymasis neturėtų būti jos tikslas. Svarbu funkcionalumas, geras discoverability. Niekas netrukdo sukurti atnaujintą dizainą, kuris minėtų trūkumų neturėtų.
- Juk reikia, kad iš skaitytojų žmonės taptų dalyviais, veteranai visko nepatemps. Ir taip išplitus tapšnojamiesiems įrenginiams aktyvumas krito (žr. Vikipedija:Vikipedijos straipsnių statistika). Gal ne vien dėl to, bet tas išskiriama kaip viena iš kritusio aktyvumo priežasčių. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:00, 27 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Aš tik išsakiau savo nuomonę. Taip kiti bus priversti googlintis gal net š raidę dėl tokių permainų kaip kad jos įeina į lt viki topą straipnių pagal peržiūras. Jeigu tai bus en wiki ir kitur, tada ir mums, ko gero, reiks derintis prie jų, kol to nėra galim ir apseiti arba palikti pasirinkimą, bet tiesą sakant, netaip ir lengva rasti pastarąsias pasirinktis net senbuviams.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 10:21, 27 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Aš skaitytojas, man sena versija geresnė. Ypač aktuali galimybė peršokti į anglišką straipsnio atitikmenį, kurios elementariai neliko. Dabar gaunasi kad lt.wikipedia yra izoliuota nuo likusios globalios wikipedijos - argi tai ne visiška wikipedijos misijos priešingybė? 79.132.177.168 18:48, 8 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
Sveiki! Greetings from Warsaw. First of all, I'm sorry for not writing in Lithuanian. Thanks for the comments in which you’re raising important points. Thanks to @Homo ergaster for pinging me. Before you did, I didn't know about your discussion. I wish we had talked sooner, because it was my intention to talk first, clarify the situation, and make the change when you as the Lithuanian community are more informed and comfortable. Anyway:
- We have been working on this project since 2019. You can see the timeline on our project page. The goal is to make the Wikimedia websites more intuitive and welcoming for content consumers and new contributors.
- My goal for this discussion here is to understand how the Web team could support you in adjusting your code to Vector 2022, and what should be improved in Vector 2022.
- Between 2020 and earlier this year, we were testing new features, one by one. There were many different tests. Some of those were performed on a diverse set of wikis. This is how we know that Vector 2022 is already better than Vector legacy. You can read about the tests here.
- Communities use different templates, gadgets, scripts, etc. It may happen that something needs to be fixed in collaboration with you. We are open to discuss what could be improved or fixed.
- I strongly encourage you to read our FAQ. You'll find answers to most really frequently asked questions. You'll also be able to check how much your first impressions and your intuition have in common with our data and approach.
- It's difficult for me to understand how you've come to some conclusions. In the following edits to some of your comments, I'll ask you to elaborate on your viewpoints. I hope we will clarify some things together.
Ačiū! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (aptarimas) 05:43, 11 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Gal, jei nepavyks atmesti šitų "iš viršaus nuleistų" sprendimų, bent į sitenotice įdėti kokį užrašą, kad "Tarptautinio Vikimedijos fondo vienašališku sprendimu pakeistas svetainės dizainas - norinčius ir toliau naršyti senesnio dizaino svetainėje, kviečiame registruotis ir nustatymuose pasirinkti išvaizdos tipą "vektorinė""? Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 10:39, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Panašu, kad nepavyks. Į mano klausimą dėl balsavimo tiesiogiai neatsakė, bet galima suprasti, kad daugių daugiausia ką galima padaryti, tai ištaisyti kokias nors smulkmenas.
- Naujokams praverstų pagalbos puslapis, kur aprašyti visi žingsniai. Būtų galima įdėti nuorodą į sitenotice. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 13:24, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Keista, mat pvz. ru.wiki liko 2010 išvaizda, be jokių vienašališkų pastatymų prieš faktą.
- Nematau priežasčių, kodėl vienoms kalboms turi būti primetinėjama (kas nepageidaujama), o kitoms daromos išlygos. BigHead (aptarimas) 17:42, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
- Klausimas, kaip ten yra. Gal dar neatėjo eilė? Jei daromos išlygos didesnėms vikipedijoms, o mažesnės – bandomieji triušiai, tai nelabai „skaniai“ atrodo. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 18:11, 15 lapkričio 2022 (EET)
Panašu, kad į kai kurias smulkias pastabas atsižvelgė, pvz., „prisijungti“ nebėra paslėptas po trimis taškais (dėl to nusiskundimų, spėju, galėjo būti ne tik čia). Bet tik tiek. Tas „Our goals are to make Wikimedia wikis more welcoming and to increase the utility amongst readers and maintain utility for existing editors.“ bent jau man skamba kiek naivokai. Na, taip, dizainas gal ir šiuolaikiškesnis, bet ar vien dėl to Vikipedija taps patrauklesnė, padaugės norinčių prisidėti? Labai abejoju. Kol kas nei čia padaugėjo, nei, panašu, kitose mažesnėse wiki (pvz., [5], [6]). --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 15:57, 21 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Įprastinis šių laikų biurokratizmas: 1) yra fonduose pinigų; 2) sugalvojama, kad reikia pakeisti, tą, kas gerai veikia, nes "paseno" (lyg senumas [o jis labai reliatyvus - gali būti 20 metų, gali būti 5] savaime būtų yda; 3) prigalvojama teorinių (dažnai visiškai trivialių) priežasčių, kodėl bus geriau; 4) pinigai švaistomi visokioms, nieko nenustatančiomis ir abstrakčioms studijoms, abrakadabrų rašymams; 5) kai nebūna geriau, niekas nieko nežino, pinigai įsisavinti, projektas baigėsi, grąžinti seno nebeįmanoma. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 18:10, 21 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Šiuo atveju, sutinku su savo tradiciniu oponentu -- svarbiausia buvo ne patogumas, o pats darymo procesas, t. y. simuliakras, kad neva kažkas nuveikta pačių žmonių labui.
- Kol leidžia, naudoju seną pavidalą -- mane jis tenkina viskuo (talpumu, greičiu, estetika, proporcijom). BigHead (aptarimas) 22:50, 21 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Padaryti „Wikimedia wikis more welcoming“ (įtraukesnes) bandoma ir kitais būdais, pvz., pasiūlant naujokams vikizuoti netvarkingus straipsnius, pataisyti klaidas. Ir kas iš to išeina? Kad ir šis pakeitimas. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 23:18, 21 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Nesu bailus, bet visuomet įtarimą kelia žmonės, kurie nori padaryti ką nors "more welcoming". Dažniausiai jie apsimeta, kad žino kažką unikalaus ar perdėtai imituoja draugiškus. Rezultatas beveik visuomet tas pats. Nuviliantis.
- Nejučia prisiminiau visai kitą sritį, tačiau tokį požiūrį taikau ir kitoms gyvenimo sritims.
- This is UNIX. Stop acting so helpless! BigHead (aptarimas) 00:28, 22 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Bent jau tiek, kad kol kas nesigriebė kažko daugiau, tai gyventi galima. Visgi ketinimų yra, pvz., ruošiamasi užmaskuoti IP adresus, vietoj jų bus rodomas kažkoks automatiškai sugeneruotas ID. Kovos su vandalizmu tas tikriausiai nepalengvins, o ir dabar situacija mažesnėse wiki toli gražu nėra gera, pražiūrimi visai netvarkingi straipsniai, autovertimai. Tarkim, ko galima rasti pas kroatus. Apie kitas wiki jau užsiminiau kitur ([7]). --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:05, 22 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Jei jau norima padaryti Vikipediją „įtraukesne“, tai kažin ar gera mintis paslėpti nuorodas kairėje. Ar ne geriau, kai jos išsyk matomos ir pasiekiamos iš bet kurio straipsnio, galima pasigilinti, kaipgi toji Vikipedija veikia, kokie čia procesai ir pan.? Beje, įdomu, kad latviai, kiek supratau, permainas sutiko palankiau (lv:Vikipēdija:Kopienas_portāls#The_Vector_2022_skin_as_the_default_in_two_weeks?). --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 17:45, 24 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Tame ir esmė, kad nepaaiškinta -- "įtraukesne" kam?! Jei skaitytojams, galbūt mobiliuose ekranuose tai sutaupo vietos, t. y. patogiau skaityti.
- Jei kalbama apie rašančiųjų įtrauktį, tai akivaizdu, jog efektas priešingas: esant prie kompo, žiūrint per normalų monitorių, norisi matyti viską. O svarbiausia, tikslingai išnaudojamą ekrano (nepigus įrenginys) plotą. BigHead (aptarimas) 18:19, 24 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
- Padaryti „Wikimedia wikis more welcoming“ (įtraukesnes) bandoma ir kitais būdais, pvz., pasiūlant naujokams vikizuoti netvarkingus straipsnius, pataisyti klaidas. Ir kas iš to išeina? Kad ir šis pakeitimas. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 23:18, 21 balandžio 2023 (EEST)
"WRating" yra svetainė, kurioje vertinamas jūsų indėlis į "Vikipedijos" lankomumą.[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Sveiki. Mano vardas Andrii, esu reitingo WRating kūrėjas https://wrating.ukrface.org/?le=lt&l=en.
Ši paslauga suteikia galimybę Vikipedijos autoriams įvertinti savo indėlį į projekto populiarinimą, būtent: sužinoti, kiek puslapių Vikipedijoje buvo peržiūrėta per mėnesį dėl jų indėlio.
Pavyzdžiui, TOP 10 autorių pagal WRating versiją (skliausteliuose nurodytas peržiūrų skaičius):
1. Homo ergaster (1 490 406)
2. Hugo.arg (1 303 694)
3. Dirgela (559 621)
4. Knutux (500 681)
5. Lazdynas (367 455)
6. Atlantas (348 733)
7. CD (312 516)
8. Algirdas (309 847)
9. Tocekas (278 878)
10. Creative (236 977)
Reitingas atnaujinamas kas mėnesį, paprastai iki kiekvieno mėnesio 5 dienos.
Man bus malonu matyti jus tarp reitingų vartotojų. UkrFace (aptarimas) 21:29, 3 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Argi tai nėra reklama? -- Desidero (aptarimas) 22:32, 25 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Na, svetainė lyg ir nekomercinė. Koks to reitingo sudarymo principas, ne visai aišku. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 22:38, 25 spalio 2022 (EEST)
- Čia matyt reitingas sudaromas pagal atliktus redaktorinius veiksmus, ne veltui Hugo, Homo atsidurė viršuje. Manau, įskaičiuojami ir menkiausi keitimai ir psl. peržiūros, bet čia tik mano spėjimas. Pats Homo nėra didžiausias kūrėjas, bet aktyviausias administratorius, o Hugo galima laikyti tuo ir anuo.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 10:23, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Spėčiau, kad atsižvelgiama į paskutines skaitomiausių puslapių versijas. Daug atmetimų, tai ir viršuje. Galbūt ir pradines, dėl to taip aukštai seniai neaktyvūs naudotojai. Makenzio keitimų daugiausia, bet ne skaitomiausiuose puslapiuose, dėl to sąraše nėra. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:27, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Šiaip, manau, vertingesnis įrankis nei abejotinas Makenzio karaliavimas pagal keitimų skaičių. ;) Reiktų įtraukti į alternatyvią viki statistiką.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 10:31, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Knutux net nepamenu, bet vis dar viršuje, negi toks svarus jo indėlis buvo? Aišku, lengva užmiršti praeities didvyrius ir lengva užmigti ant laurų.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 10:39, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Straipsnių, berods, apie pora tūkstančių, bet, matyt, daug patenka tarp skaitomiausių. Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:40, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Tu padiskutuok su savimi, kas puikiai sekasi, o manęs minėti visur nebūtina. Mano keitimai abejotini? Kuria prasme? Makenzis (aptarimas) 10:41, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)

- Ispanas 15 307
- Makenzis 8 611
- Viskonsas 7 223

- SeriousThinker 4 204
- Kails 3 707
- Ego desidero aquiuem 3 427

Kurioje esu Makenzis ir aš ;). Manau čia įtraukti ir savi psl. peržiūrėjimai.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 10:58, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Neturiu supratimo, kokio čia mėnesio ir kokio tipo statistika. Ji man nieko nesako. Įsivaizduoju taip, kad faberžė, masturbacija ir kiti vertingi straipsniai bus labiau peržiūrimi, nei kažkoks egzotiškas dalykas... Makenzis (aptarimas) 11:16, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Kaip bebūtų, statistika nors ir faktinė, tačiau pastarojo mėnesio rodo, kad daugelis peržiūrų galbūt buvo tų pačių straipsnių redaktorių, nes sunkiai tikėtina, kad subre kūręs kokybiškos str. apie menininkų biograrijas ar archiologines vietoves sulauks tik 9 peržūrų (žmonijos istorija lyg rugsėjį buvo vienas iš topų), o makenzis su Kongo klubais žymiai daugiau. Be to, tarkim Gmail ar Youtube, kitos big tech paslaugos sulaukia tūkstantinių peržūrų ir kažkaip tame psl. mano indėlis neatsispindi, nors teko gerokai papildyti.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 11:14, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
- Eilinš kartą giliniesi į tokius dalykus, kur nebūtina. Makenzis (aptarimas) 11:20, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Net nežinau ar palikti nuorodas kaip alternatyvią statistiką ar ne, nes paskutinio mėnesio (rugsėjo) statistika atskleidė, kad kažkas čia ne taip. Visiški vėjai.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 11:30, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Congratulations, your postings allowed Wikipedia(lt.wikipedia.org) to receive 179 569 views for September 2022. And that is the 2.0160% of the overall number of views. If the contribution for only September is considered, then 3 381views. [10]
Čia dar daugiau nesusipratimo, tai kas mėnesį apie 200-100k (history grafike) ir kam tie 3k (ta prasme šio mėnesio redagavimo veiksmų dėka)? Taip atrodytų įtikinamiau.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 11:37, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)

This service provides the opportunity for Wikipedia authors to evaluate their contribution to the promotion of the project, namely: to find out how many pages were viewed on Wikipedia within one month due to their contribution. Every contributor has access to two evaluations: Global Rating, which takes into account the entire contribution of the author since registration Local Rating, only the last month's contribution is used for calculation You can also view the Leaderboard on the site, on which the TOP-100 users according to the global estimation are deduced. And to make sure new contributors aren't put off — a month-by-month rating based on local ratings has been created. This allows to overlook the amount of time you have been on Wikipedia (several years or two months), you have the same starting point as experienced Wikipedists. What's important — is to add high-quality, meaningful and interesting content to the world's most popular and largest encyclopedia
- not the whole history of edits is taken into account, but only for September
Tai viskas aišku, tuomet, redagavimo veiksmai tik tą mėnesį sulaukę peržiūrų.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 11:52, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Išskleidus grafiką jau galima patikėti, kad statistika nebevertė, hugo, homo apie 1-2 m. peržiūrų per mėnesį, vasarą aišku mažiau, mokslo metais žymiai daugiau.--Vaidila (aptarimas) 11:50, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Kaip sakė Zemkauskas giliai ir paviršiuje tinklailaidėje svarbu, kad būtų skaitytojų, nes rašytojų šiais laikais daugiau nei reikia. Siūlau tuo ir pasidžiaugti ir save kokybiškai įsivertinti projekto dėka, nes veikliausių naudotojų statistika tik truputį tiksli, šita nors ir netobula, bet vis vien geresnė. Adminai (oficialūs ar ne) sulaukia daugiausiai plojimų kas manau ir teisingiausia. 100 000 ar 1 000 000 psl. peržiūrų kas mėnesį čia daug ar mažai, bet geriau nei facebooke Ūžkalniauti ir delfiuose trolininti. ;)--Vaidila (aptarimas) 12:13, 30 spalio 2022 (EET)
Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:
Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.- Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
- North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.
On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community[redaguoti vikitekstą]
The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.
The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.
If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.
Best regards,

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.
About the Ombuds commission
The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.
Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
About the Case Review Committee
The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.
We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
Applying to join either of these groups
Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.
If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at cawikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legalwikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:
- Your primary projects
- Languages you speak/write
- Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
- Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
- Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
- Any other information you think is relevant
The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!
On behalf of the Committee Support team,
Studentų atsiskaitymai[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Nežinau, kadangi su dėstytojais gražiuoju susikalbėti nepavyksta, kaip matome, metai iš metų tas pats, tai gal būtų galima balsavimu priimti taisyklę, kad jokie akademiniai atsiskaitymai Vikipedijoje negalimi. Kasmet identiškos problemos, atkaklus skydelių trynimas, ištrintų itin prastų straipsnių (neretai autovertimų) atkūrimas. Pasitaiko ir geresnių vertimų, bet kas iš to. Ydinga pati praktika. Ištrinsi straipsnį, studentas gal įskaitos negaus ar pan. Tiesiog nesąmonė. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 22:14, 11 gruodžio 2022 (EET)
- Sutinku. Galėtų būti nebent atvirkščiai - studentas pateikia dėstytojui atsiskaitymą, gauna įvertinimą ir, jei darbas geras, tik po to paraginamas dėstytojo tekstą publikuoti.

Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

Desktop improvements. A new change is coming![redaguoti vikitekstą]
(Sveiki! Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą)
Next week (the week of February 6), the Wikimedia Foundation Web team will move some links from the side menu ("sidebar") to a new menu on other side of the screen.
This will make it easier to intuitively use all the links and tools within our interface. The table of contents will also appear a bit higher up the screen because the sidebar will be shorter. The latter change would mostly be interesting for editors. This is because readers use the sidebar much more rarely.
Why we are changing this
The interface does not distinguish between the links and tools that are relevant to the website and the links and tools that are relevant to a single page. Main page, random page, recent changes, are in the first group. What links here, related changes, cite this page, belong to the second one. This mix is confusing to new readers. Also new editors are not familiar with what each link does. Mixing these groups makes it less likely for people to explore these tools naturally.
This change also addresses the concern for the location of the table of contents. Previously, some editors using an earlier version of Vector 2022 told us that because the table of contents appeared below the sidebar, it was placed too much down below the page. After this change, the sidebar will be shorter and thus will shift the table of contents further up in the page. Also, this change will reduce the white space on the page by using more of the space for the display of tools.
Gadgets' compatibility
Technically skilled editors may need to update some gadgets and user scripts. Some of these might become redundant or obsolete. We provide support for users who would like to maintain the compatibility. Please explore this section of our documentation for more information on gadget compatibility.

Community feedback-cycle about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use starts[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Hello everyone,
Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
The Terms of Use (ToU) are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.
This update comes in response to several things:
- Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct
- Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license
- Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing
- Bringing our terms in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act
As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held, the first on March 2, the second on April 4.
For further information, please consult:
- The proposed update of the ToU by comparison
- The page for your feedback
- Information about the office hours

Vikimedijos fondas išbandys perėjimą tarp savo pagrindinės ir antrinės duomenų bazės. Šis bandymas užtikrins, ar Vikipedija ir kiti Vikimedijos fondo projektai veiks po nelaimingo atsitikimo. Kad užtikrintų, ar viskas veikia, Vikimedijos technologijų departamentas turi atlikti planuotą testą. Šis testas parodys, ar jie gali patikimai pereiti iš vienos duomenų bazės į kitą. Tam procesui paruošti ir sutvarkyti netikėtas problemas reikia daug darbuotojų.
All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
Dėja, dėl „MediaWiki“ programos limitacijų, visi redagavimai sustos, kai perėjimas vyks. Mes atsiprašome už šiuos nesklandumus ir stengiamės sumažinti jų poveikį.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 1 March 2023.
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

Apskritys[redaguoti vikitekstą]
Sveiki, norėčiau išgirsti kitų nuomonę ir prieiti sutarimo, kaip elgtis su administraciniais-teritoriniais vienetas (daugiausia – apskritimis), kurie buvo iš skirtingų epochų ir valstybių. Lietuvių spausdintos enciklopedijos (TLE, VLE ir pan.) apskričių ir rajonų istoriją nuosekliai aprašo viename straipsnyje. Vikipedijoje yra didelė įvairovė, ypač lenkiškoje, bet ją seka iš paskos baltarusiška, ukrainietiška ir rusiška – čia kiekvienam laikotarpiui apskrities straipsnis vis kitoks. Tas pats su gubernijomis ir vaivadijomis. Lietuviškoje Vikipedijoje irgi panaši situacija. CD (aptarimas) 11:35, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
- Už vientisą straipsnį:
- Jeigu straipsniai atskiri, tokiu atveju kiekvieno administracinio vieneto istorija yra išskaidoma, užuot aprašant ją nuosekliai. Be to, apsunkinamos nuorodos į atitinkamo laikotarpio straipsnius. Valstybių istorija yra aprašoma vientisa, nepriklausomai nuo valdžios laikotarpių, taip pat ir LTSR rajonų, tapusių LR savivaldybėmis – nepriklausomai nuo to, kokie buvo viršesni subjektai arba kaip keitėsi paties subjekto plotas. CD (aptarimas) 11:35, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
- Už atskirus straipsnius epochoms:
- ?
Nebūtinai visais atvejais, bet kai kada, manyčiau, logiška išskirti į atskirus straipsnius. Tarkim, Istorinė Klaipėdos apskritis ir dabartinė, mano supratimu, yra skirtingi dariniai: buvo skirtingų valstybių vienetai, skyrėsi jų teritorija, tik tiek, kad tas pats centras – Klaipėda. Tas pats ir su kitomis apskritimis. Su rajonais jau kitokia situacija. Atskirai aprašyti LTSR rajonus, sakyčiau, neprasminga. Tie patys pavirto nepriklausomos Lietuvos rajonais, ribos jei ir keitėsi, tai nežymiai, paskui buvo išskirtos naujos savivaldybės. Šiuo atveju aiškus tęstinumas. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 11:49, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
Sunku pasakyti, vertinčiau kiekvieną atvejį atskirai. Labiau sutikčiau su ta nuomonę, kad, kur įmanoma, nereikėtų skaidyti. Pvz., caro laikų ir tarpukario apskritys turi tęstinumą, rašyčiau viename straipsnyje, o dabartinės apskritys – naujadaras, rašyčiau atskirai. --Obivan Kenobi (aptarimas) 12:55, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
- Aš irgi už tai, kaip yra dabar - jei adm. vieneto ribos smarkiai keitėsi (carinės-tarpukario apskritys vs. dabartinės) straipsniai skirtingi, jei beveik nesikeitė (LTSR rajonai vs. dabartiniai) straipsniai tie patys. Tiesiog, ar yra istorinis tęstinumas, ar ne: tarpukario apskritys sukurtos carinių pagrindu, o lenkiškoje dalyje jau buvo visai naujos. Po 1990 m. įvestos apskritys tuo tarpu neturi jokio istorinio tęstinumo, ir sudarytos tiesiog sugrupavus esamus rajonus. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 14:11, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
- Taip, būtų logiškiausia vadovautis istorinio tęstinumo kriterijumi. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 14:17, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)
Na, gal ir logiškas tas istorinis tęstinumas, bet jis irgi nevisad aiškus, nes yra atvejų, kai ta pati apskritis buvo įkurta, panaikinta, o po to vėl įkurta toje pačioje šalyje. Lenkai išvis XVIII a. pabaigai atskirai apskritis aprašo. Mums gi 1941–1944 m. apskritis irgi reikėtų atskirti dėl valdžios pasikeitimo, kaip ir 1915–1918 m., kas vėl sudarytų painiavą ir straipsnių gausą. Švenčionių rajonas (Baltarusijos TSR) irgi įdomus analogas dėl valdžių skirtumo. Istorinė Klaipėdos apskritis irgi nenuosekli – iki 1818 m. ji apėmė Šilutės kraštą, o vėliau – nebe. Chaosas kažkoks ;) Man išvis kyla mintis daryti taip, kad būtų rašomas šiek tiek platesnis nuorodinis straipsnis su atskirais laikmečiais (pvz., Ašmenos apskritis), o jau apie laikmečių apskritis galima būtų atskiruose straipsniuose smulkintis. Dar vienas variantas – atsispirti nuo teritorijos, bet ji irgi keisdavosi kada stipriau, kada silpniau. Žinoma, tebegyvuojantys dariniai turėtų būti pagrindiniuose, o ne nuorodiniuose straipsniuose. Dar kitas variantas – skaidyti visus straipsnius, ką tik skaido kitų kalbų Vikipedijos. CD (aptarimas) 20:33, 12 kovo 2023 (EET)

(Ne)nueina užmarštin straipsniai be šaltinių[redaguoti vikitekstą]

Kokie rezultatai? Kaip sekasi vikičempionams autoriams dėti savo kurtuose straipsniuose šaltinius? Kaip tvarkosi tas pats nepailstantis CD, tebekuriantis tokius ir šiandien (Liliškių dvaras, Liliškių koplyčia) ir ko? (jau įsivaizduoju pašiauštas skiauteres). Gal kas pagelbėtų atnaujinti, pridėti naujų, paaiškinti, kur ieškoti. O gal pasakytų, kad neverta. --Vilensija (aptarimas) 14:43, 29 kovo 2023 (EEST)
- Jei ką, Liliškių dvaras, Liliškių koplyčia rašyti tokio 84.240.42.154 (žr. [15]), tai nieko naujo, tik copy-paste iš straipsnio Valančiai. O rasti nesunku, įvedus naršyklės laukelyje https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/lt.wikipedia.org/ ir pridėjus savo naudotojo vardą, tuomet belieka iš eilės peržiūrėti. Ir, beje, gali būti gerokai daugiau negu minėtose ataskaitėlėse (viena kita išnaša yra, bet per mažai, gal tik išorinės nuorodos, pvz., Monrealio Pjero Elioto Triudo tarptautinis oro uostas, Lačplėsio lova, Aerozolis). Nuorodas gali tekti perkelti prie išnašų. Yra kur padirbėti ne tik vikičempionams. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 15:48, 29 kovo 2023 (EEST)
