Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

SUL finalization update

Hi all,apologies for writing in English, please read this page for important information and an update involving SUL finalization, scheduled to take place in one month. Thanks. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 13 de marzo de 2015 ás 19:46 (UTC)

Exceso de lig. internas

Non sei se haberá algunha norma escrita ou non sobre a pertinencia das lig. internas, pero na definición de glúteo máximo semellan excesivas a todas luces: "Músculo de forma cuadrilátera, o máis potente do ser humano, situado superficialmente na rexión glútea. Insírese na fosa ilíaca externa, crista ilíaca, tubérculos sacros posteriores e ligamento sacrociático maior, e vai rematar na liña áspera. A súa función é a de extensor e rotador externo da coxa pero, se o fémur está fixo, produce a elevación da pelve". Tódalas palabras, todas, están ligadas, mesmo algunhas repetidas (artigos e preposicións). Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 20 de marzo de 2015 ás 19:47 (UTC)

Isto decidiuse hai tempo, vou botar un ollo. Saúdos! --Norrin strange (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 12:18 (UTC)

E ¿cal foi a decisión? Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 18:29 (UTC)

Outro exemplo de exceso de lig. int.: córvidos, corvo común, corvo mariño real, corvo mariño cristado. Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 19:37 (UTC)

E moitos máis: egotélidos (que máis semella un artigo da Galipedia que unha definición de dicionario). Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 19:50 (UTC)

Eu supoño que é un exceso. Non ten moito sentido, máis que o de curiosidade para ver que palabras están en vermello.--Calq (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 22:00 (UTC)

Creo que foi Xoio o que comezou a poñerlles ligazóns a todas as palabras das definicións, e eu seguino. Non me parece malo para o lector, aínda que para o editor resulta moi laborioso. Eu deixaríao ó gusto do editor, pero vós diredes. [ Furagaitas * ] 28 de marzo de 2015 ás 02:12 (UTC)

Non é só laborioso senón que resulta farragoso ler unha definición (e o exemplo e as observacións) de colorines. Non ten sentido ligar artigos, preposicións e outras partículas frecuentes tódalas veces que aparezan no texto. Para min, só deberiamos ligar palabras cuxa comprensión sexa minimamente necesaria para entender a definición. En conclusión: se é opcional, eu proporía non ligar todo senón ser selectivo; e non ligar palabras de observacións nin exemplos salvo casos excepcionais. Discordo da proposta de "deixalo ó gusto do editor" porque debemos buscar un estilo uniforme, coherente. Pedro --83.61.190.30 28 de marzo de 2015 ás 18:14 (UTC) [Síntoo: estaba editando sen acceder ó sistema; Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 28 de marzo de 2015 ás 18:16 (UTC)]

Non vexo problema en ter colorinchos nas entradas (aínda que isto é evitable mantendo as ligazóns); moitos dicionarios electrónicos (WordReferente, por exemplo) ligan todas as palabras das entradas coas súas correspondencias. Vexo maior problema á hora de editar, sobre todo para usuarios inexpertos. Non creo que sexa sancionable tomar a primeira opción, aínda que tamén vexo lóxica a segunda. [ Furagaitas * ] 29 de marzo de 2015 ás 00:18 (UTC)

Burro, substm; burra substf; burro adx.

A entrada burro tiña dúas acepcións (équido e trebello para afumar chourizos) ás que engadín dúas máis (peixe e aparello para soportar o pote na lareira). Aínda quedan máis pero non sei como introducilas xa que non son Substm: unha quinta sería substf: espulla; a sexta, tamñen substf é o orificio do gonzo dunha portela. E logo tamén hai unha sétima acepción, como adxectivo: tonto e de poucas entendedeiras (que tamén corre como substantivo: É un burro). ¿Como se engaden novas categorías gramaticais nunha mesma entrada? Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 20 de marzo de 2015 ás 20:19 (UTC)

Eu crearía as dúas entradas (burro e burra) e incluiría todas as definicións que lle poidan corresponder a cada xénero. O problema de poñer todas as acepcións é que habería que actualizar dous artigos (téñoo feito con <onlyinclude>, pero pode ser difícil de usar). En caso de dúbida queda o xeito tradicional: o artigo masculino para as acepcións que abranguan os dous xéneros, e o feminino para as definicións femininas. Un saúdo.

campo semántico en palabras non galegas

Unha pregunta: entendo que as palabras noutras linguas non se definen, senón que simplemente se escribe a equivalente en galego (que sería a que levase a definición). Ben ¿e dáselles campo semántico? A dúbida vén de schaap que parece ser que significa ovella en neerlandés. Pero, ó escribirse a equivalencia así: "1.(Zooloxía) Ovella.", resulta que se inclúe na categoría: Zooloxía ¡¡en galego!!. Por comparación, Oveja (cast) só se define como "1. Ovella". Dado que este caso de schaap é a única voz estranxeira na cat. Zooloxía, quero supoñer que non debe conter campo semántico. Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 20:19 (UTC)

• Se pós ben o código da lingua sae "zooloxía en neerlandés".--Calq (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 21:40 (UTC)
  • Ergo, si que se pon, pero ben, claro. Grazas, Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 21:55 (UTC)

Categorías

Boto en falta unha categoría Gandería, porque as entradas sobre o gando (vaca, ovella, porco, cabalo, galiñas, etc.), o seu manexo e os trebellos relacionados con el non caben nunha categoría Agro, que sería a única con certa relación.

Se particularizamos nunha categoría Apicultura, iso lévanos, por coherencia, a crear categorías para porcinocultura, avicultura, etc.

¿Por que a categoría se chama Agro e non Agricultura, directamente?

Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 20:54 (UTC)

• Hai as dúas categorías, agro e agricultura, e entendo que a de agro se refire ao sector económico agropecuario,que incluiría a agricultura propiamente dita, ademais da gandaría, categoría que falta, claro. Totalmente de acordo coas túas precisións.--Calq (conversa) 21 de marzo de 2015 ás 21:56 (UTC)

Facenda e facenda

Agora temos Facenda, escrito con maiúscula, como o Conxunto de organismos que se ocupan de administrar os bens do Estado. O DRAG escribeo con minúscula e defíneo como "bens do Estado", e só nunha cuarta acepción, como ministerio, di que vai con maiúscula

Pero o caso é que e outros significados da palabra son 1) conxunto de riquezas e propiedades dunha persoa; e 2) conxunto de gando que posúe unha persoa ou unha comunidade ("Hai labregos moi expertos en curar a facenda, como sangrar a vaca con pedernal", "O gando é de boa caste inda que pouco atendido, e non hai casas fortes de paisanos con moita facenda", "¿Qué fai un labrego sen facenda? Dispensando, é coma un home sen as súas partes" (Ánxel Fole, A lus do candil, 73).

A pregunta é: ¿mantemos a entrada con maiúscula? Nese caso crearei outra entrada con minúscula e estes significados.

¿Reconsideramos esa maiúscula? Neste caso tería 4 acepcións: 1(riquezas, 2) gando, 3) bens do Estado, e 4) ministerio (e este si, con maiúscula.

Espero opinións. Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 24 de marzo de 2015 ás 19:43 (UTC)

• Pois eu supoño que como organismo oficial dun Estado ten sentido esa maiúscula, mais tamén se fala de facenda pública no dereito e na economía para definir os bens do Estado, entón, eu tería as dúas entradas dando explicacións nun apartado de observacións.--Calq (conversa) 25 de marzo de 2015 ás 07:12 (UTC)

Camela

camela non significa o que aquí se di. É a parte inferior do xugo, curvada, que apoia na caluga da vaca. Tamén designa os saíntes e as entalladuras no centro do xugo onde se ata o estrobo. Pero aquí se lle damos o significado de cangalla ou cancil, o que non é certo. Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 24 de marzo de 2015 ás 23:11 (UTC)

• Pois razón terás... eu non o sei. Graciñas por estas achegas home.--Calq (conversa) 25 de marzo de 2015 ás 07:45 (UTC)

modelo: adxectivo

Temos o modelo estándar para os adxectivos, pero parece que non temos para adxectivos femininos (ex. bastardo, 4ª acepción). Tamén será necesario prever casos de adxectivo masculino. Pedro --Lameiro (conversa) 5 de abril de 2015 ás 20:16 (UTC)

• Boas Pedro. Eu nestes casos faría algo talmente como burro/burra, quero dicir, dúas entradas diferentes, de feito, acabo de ver de que existe bastarda.--Calq (conversa) 7 de abril de 2015 ás 03:48 (UTC)

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep.

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (conversa) 24 de xullo de 2015 ás 05:07 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey

Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.

The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.

For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.

While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.

Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Summary of changes and FAQ
• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!
-The Wikimedia Foundation Communications team

IMPORTANTE: Revisión de actividad de administradores

Hola. En virtud de un gran consenso comunitario global, se aprobó en el año 2013 una política que tiene por objeto la retirada de los permisos avanzados (administrador, burócrata, etc.) de aquellas cuentas que se encuentren inactivas. De acuerdo con la misma, los stewards están revisando la actividad de los administradores en todos los proyectos de la Fundación Wikimedia que no dispongan de una política de inactividad propia. Hasta donde sabemos, este proyecto no cuenta con un proceso formal ni política relativa a la revisión y retirada de permisos avanzados de cuentas inactivas. Ello significa que los stewards se encargarán de ello de acuerdo con la política de revisión de actividad administrativa.

Hemos determinado que los siguientes usuarios cumplen el criterio de inactividad (sin ediciones ni acciones registradas por más de 2 años consecutivos):

1. Xoán Carlos Fraga (administrador)

Estos usuarios recibirán una notificación pronto, donde se les informará que deben empezar una discusión en la comunidad si quieren mantener algunos o todos sus permisos. Si los usuarios no responden sus permisos serán retirados por los stewards.

Sin embargo, si ustedes como comunidad desean crear su propio proceso de revisión de actividad para sustituir el proceso global, bien quieren tomar otra decisión acerca de los usuarios inactivos, o tienen alguna otra política que se nos pasó por alto, entonces por favor notifiquen en el tablón de anuncios a los stewards en Meta-Wiki para que nosotros sepamos que no debemos proceder con la revisión de permisos en este wiki. Gracias,
