[editá fuente]- You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language
Dear all,
The voting period for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is closing soon. It is open through 10 August 2024. Read the information on the voting page on Meta-wiki to learn more about voting and voter eligibility. If you are eligible to vote and have not voted in this special election, it is important that you vote now.
Why should you vote? The U4C is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community input into the committee membership is critical to the success of the UCoC.

In cooperation with the U4C,

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
[editá fuente]
Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.
We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:
- Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
- Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.
Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.
Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Admin bevestigingen 2024
[editá fuente]Hallo!
Het is weer die maand van het jaar, de moderatorrechten van Caribiana, Frank Geerlings en mijzelf verlopen na deze maand.
Ik zag dat Caribiana nog steeds heel actief is in bijdragen (dank!!): Frank heeft voor het laatst bewerkt in februari en heb ik daarom vorige week een mailjes gestuurd ivm de benodigde herbevestiging, maar daar nog niks op teruggehoord. Wat betreft mijzelf: mijn Papiaments is niet goed, en ik ben hier dan ook eigenlijk vooral admin voor eventuele technische ondersteuning.
Ik zie dat er de laatste tijd nieuwe bijdragers bij zijn gekomen, ook superfijn! Ik zou voor willen stellen om, naast Dwerg85, in ieder geval 3 redelijk actieve admins te hebben. Zijn er misschien tussen de nieuwen nog mensen die wel willen helpen in het beheer? Ciell (diskushon) 17:25, 8 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Ciell, bedankt voor de herinnering. Ik had je bericht gezien maar nog geen tijd gehad om te antwoorden. Ik heb het de laatste tijd te druk gehad om Wikipedia de tijd te geven die het verdient, ik stel me dan ook niet kandidaat voor een verlenging van de admin-periode. Tot mijn spijt overigens, ik draag dit project een warm hart toe. –Frank Geerlings (diskushon) 21:25, 8 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Hallo Ciell, ben ik actief genoeg? Als ik admin + interface-admin kan worden dan zou ik graag wat gadgets installeren om hier wat productiever te kunnen zijn (i.i.g. HotCat, Navigatie-popups en purgelink). Bdijkstra (diskushon) 13:33, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Bdijkstra! Van mij mag het, we hebben hier geen minimum bijdragen.
- Vanwege de kleine gemeenschap worden admin functies vaak niet voor langer dan een jaar toegekend, tenzij je 5 of meer stemmen ter ondersteuning krijgt (=het beleid vanuit Meta wiki, voor wiki's zonder beleid voor het aanstellen van mods). De toevoegingen voor gadgets die je voorstelt, zijn die al ergens besproken? Ciell (diskushon) 18:49, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Nee dat is nergens besproken. De gadgets die ik noemde zijn basisgadgets die op vele wiki's zijn geïnstalleerd. Bovendien zijn gadgets optioneel, mensen die er geen weet van hebben, hebben er geen last van. Bdijkstra (diskushon) 16:20, 12 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Uiteraard, maar gadgets kun je eventueel ook installeren via je eigen common.css toch? Als de gemeenschap er geen behoefte aan heeft, hoeft het natuurlijk niet centraal. De veranderingen die hier in 2021 zijn doorgevoerd (oa Wikidata based infoboxes, de Article placeholder optie, en een herziening van de categorieboom) zijn gemeenschapsbesluiten geweest: zie ook deze blog over wat we toen allemaal hebben gedaan. Ciell (diskushon) 10:46, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Inderdaad, gadgets kunnen ook via persoonlijke CSS (en JS). Wat ik werkend krijg kan ik eventueel aan de gemeenschap voorstellen als wikibrede gadget. Maar ik zie ook ongebruikte meuk in MediaWiki:Common.css, dat is een klusje voor een interfacemoderator. ;-) Bdijkstra (diskushon) 16:19, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Ciell, ik ben met veel plezier bezig als editor en heb nu meer "gezelschap" van nieuwe bijdragers. Dit is goed voor vernieuwing en om de moed erin te houden. Ik stel mij weer beschikbaar als moderator. Caribiana (diskushon) 20:19, 11 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Super @Caribiana. Ik zal dit weekend alles in gereedheid brengen hier. Ik denk trouwens dat ik er de 5e okt eindelijk weer eens bij ben in Den Haag: ben jij er dan ook? Ciell (diskushon) 10:48, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Ciell, het zou leuk zijn je weer eens te zien, maar ik ben vanaf maandag ruim zes weken uitlandig. Veel succes met het onderwerp: de koloniale mode, ik had er ook graag bij willen zijn. Ik heb overigens een uitnodiging ontvangen voor een bijeenkomst in Utrecht in december. Wie weet treffen we elkaar daar of kan er een zoom-kennismaking van het nieuwe moderatorenteam ingepland worden. gr. Caribiana (diskushon) 16:33, 13 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)
- Ik heb ook een uitnodiging voor december, zie ik je in ieder geval dan! En een zoom-bijeenkomstje wil ik ook altijd wel even opzetten hoor. Fijne trip gewenst, ik hoop dat alles oké is aan de overkant. Ciell (diskushon) 18:37, 15 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

Admin confirmation 2024 for Carbiana: new candidates are Kallmemel & Bdijkstra
[editá fuente]Hi all,
It's the time of the year again!
At the moment three of the admins on this project (out of a total of four) need their admin rights reconfirmed by the community. Both Ciell and Frank decided to step back, which would leave only Caribiana for this confirmation, but we have two new candidates to join the team!!
Per the rules on Meta, they need 2-4 votes for a 6 month approval (though last year they granted us a year admin term as we now have this confirmation cycle since 2021). 5 or more votes (and 2/3 in favor of the applicant) would mean they get permanent rights. So please let the candidates know if you would be in favor of extending/giving them the admin rights, no hard feelings if you think they should not be prolonged/assigned, but then a little explanation would be nice.

Your wiki will be in read-only soon
[editá fuente]Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language
The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on 25 September. The switch will start at 15:00 UTC.
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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
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 25 September 2024.
- 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.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.
Please share this information with your community.Trizek_(WMF), 09:37, 20 sèptèmber 2024 (UTC)

[editá fuente]Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project. The Wikidata item sitelink currently found under the General section of the Tools sidebar menu will move into the In Other Projects section.
We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the Discussion page before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on the project page.
We welcome your feedback and questions.

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
[editá fuente]Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change.

Enabling Dark mode for logged-out users in this Wikipedia
[editá fuente]Hello Wikipedians,
Apologies, as this message is not written in your native language. Please help translate to your language.
The Wikimedia Foundation Web team will be enabling dark mode here on your Wikipedia by February 2025 now that pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!
The plan to enable is made possible by the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who ensured that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!
For context, the Web team has concluded work on dark mode. If, on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.
If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create a page: Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/xx.wikipedia.org in MediaWiki (like these pages), and report the issue in the created page.
Thank you!
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team.

[editá fuente]My apologies for writing in English. Please help translate to your language.
I am writing to you to let you know the annual review period for the Universal Code of Conduct and Enforcement Guidelines is open now. You can make suggestions for changes through 3 February 2025. This is the first step of several to be taken for the annual review. Read more information and find a conversation to join on the UCoC page on Meta.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. This annual review was planned and implemented by the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, you may review the U4C Charter.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon
[editá fuente]
Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

[editá fuente]Hello Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.
The Language and Product Localization team has improved the Content Translation dashboard to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device.

Account creator rechten voor WiRs Wikipedia op Aruba project?
[editá fuente]Dear admins (@Bdijkstra, @Caribiana, @Kallmemel),
For the Wikipedia on Aruba project the Wikimedian in Residences Ginelly Quandt and Ricardo Arends will be organising and hosting training events for interested people on Aruba to learn how Wikimedia works (e.g. this upcoming photo upload workshop on March 27).
To allow things to run smoothly, it would be great if they both could have account creator and IP address exception rights on their account, so they can run these events without technical difficulties.
Would you know how we would be able to request these for pap wiki? Thank you so much!
MichellevL (WMNL) (diskushon) 11:25, 14 mart 2025 (UTC)
- Dear Michelle, we can assign IP exception rights, but to my knowledge there are no local users who can assign account creator rights. If nobody objects here within a few days, then I believe you can make a request at m:Steward requests/Permissions#Miscellaneous requests. bdijkstra (diskushon) 20:11, 16 mart 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Michelle, as per Wikipedia:Account creator it is recommended for training purposes to apply for the status of Wikipedia:Event coordinator. Caribiana (diskushon) 10:09, 18 mart 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Bdijkstra@Caribiana thanks for getting back to me and your input. Could you @Bdijkstra please assign IP address exception rights for their accounts, because from what I understand from Wikipedia:Event coordinator (thank you for forwarding @Caribiana!) IP address exception rights are not part of the event coordinator rights? Also, since there have been no objections in the last couple of days I have proceeded to make a request here. Thank you again for your help! MichellevL (WMNL) (diskushon) 13:28, 18 mart 2025 (UTC)
- I've assigned the IP address exception rights. As can be seen on Special:ListGroupRights, there is no event coordinator group and the account creator group doesn't have

Your wiki will be in read-only soon
[editá fuente]Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language
The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on 19 March. The switch will start at 14:00 UTC.
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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
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 19 March 2025.
- 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.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.
Please share this information with your community.MediaWiki message delivery 23:14, 14 mart 2025 (UTC)
