Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process

Redigera

Hello,

As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

  • Community members in good standing
  • Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
  • Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
  • Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
  • Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
  • Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Redigera

Hej!

Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:

<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>

The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.

{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}

Could become:

<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.

Thank you!

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

Redigera

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best,

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 28 augusti 2023 kl. 17.35 (CEST)[svara]

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?

Redigera

Read this in your languageHjälp till att översätta till ditt språk • Please tell other users about these changes

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.

Globala inställningar

If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.

If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

About the skin

Redigera
Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English).

[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

  • The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
  • 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 jump 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 tested wikis.
  • 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.

[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

Our plan

Redigera

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskussion) 26 oktober 2023 kl. 03.09 (CEST)[svara]

Getting rid of Listings tags

Redigera

We are planning to undeploy the Listings extension, and this wiki is one of the last remaining users of it (see phab:T253216).

The migration is quite simple: instead of using tags such as <sleep>, use templates instead. See en:Template:Listing for example. There are 49 usages left.

Can this be done? If you don't have the time, I can do it manually, just let me or @Ladsgroup know. Thank you! Jdforrester (WMF) (diskussion) 4 december 2023 kl. 22.18 (CET)[svara]

Hello @Skriptfel: Funktionen "arraytostring" finns inte., and thank you for the information. I'll sort it out tomorrow. Kind regards, Tommy Kronkvist (diskussion), 4 december 2023 kl. 23.53 (CET).[svara]
@Skriptfel: Funktionen "arraytostring" finns inte.: Today brought about a heavier IRL workload than expected, hence the fixes/updates you request wont be fully completed until very late today or more likely tomorrow. I apologize.
By the way we also have an odd <stay> tag on one page, so the total usage of Listings tags are 54 rather than 49. Not a big deal though, and sometime tomorrow they'll all be gone! –Tommy Kronkvist (diskussion), 5 december 2023 kl. 09.50 (CET).[svara]
@Tommy Kronkvist: That's brilliant, thank you! Jdforrester (WMF) (diskussion) 5 december 2023 kl. 14.29 (CET)[svara]
@Skriptfel: Funktionen "arraytostring" finns inte.: It took a bit longer than I'd hoped, but now it's all done (query: 0.) Yesterday I also mentioned this at Phabricator (see T253216), where @Skriptfel: Funktionen "arraytostring" finns inte. have already answered.

(Ny) Funktion på Kartographer: Lägga till geopunkter via QID

Redigera

Sedan september 2022 kan man skapa geopunkter med hjälp av ett QID. Flera wikibidragsgivare har efterfrågat denna funktion, men den används inte mycket. Därför skulle vi vilja påminna er om detta. Det finns mer information på projektsidan. Har du några kommentarer får du gärna berätta för oss på diskussionssidan. Vänliga hälsningar, arbetslagen Tekniska önskningar hos Wikimedia Deutschland.
