2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Pomozite pri prevođenju na Vaš jezik

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (razgovor) 19:06, 18 januar 2016 (KSV)

No editing two times this week

Zadužbina Wikimedia testirat će novi podatkovni centar u Dallasu (Texas). Ovim će se osigurati da Wikipedia i druge Wikimedijine wiki ostanu na mreži čak i u slučaju katastrofe. Kako bi osigurali da sve radi kako treba, tehnološki odsjek Wikimedije mora izvršiti planirani test. Test će pokazati može li se pouzdano prebaciti s jednog na drugi podatkovni centar. Zahtijeva se spremnost mnogih timova i da isti budu dostupni da poprave bilo kakve neočekivane probleme.

Podatkovni promet bit će potpuno prebačen na novi centar u utorak, 19. aprila.
Tim će se ponovo prebaciti na glavni podatkovni centar u četvrtak, 21. aprila.

Nažalost, zbog tehničkih ograničenja MediaWiki softvera, neće se moći uređivati tokom ove dvije promjene. Izvinjavamo se zbog ovog prekida i radimo na tom da ih ubuduće umanjimo.

Moći ćete čitati sve wikije, ali ih nećete moći uređivati u kratkom razdoblju.

• Nećete moći uređivati otprilike 15–30 minuta u utorak, 19. aprila i u četvrtak, 21. aprila sa početkom u 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT i 07:00 PDT).
• Ako pokušate urediti ili sačuvati tokom ovog razdoblja, pojavit će Vam se greška. Nadamo se da nećete izgubiti izmjene tokom ovih minuta, ali ovo Vam ne možemo garantovati. Ako vidite grešku, molimo Vas da sačekate dok se sve ne vrati u normalu. Tad ćete moći sačuvati izmjenu. Međutim, za svaki slučaj preporučujemo da napravite pričuvnu kopiju izmjene.

Ostale posljedice:

• Pozadinski zadaci bit će sporiji, a neki mogu biti i zaustavljeni. Moguće je da se crveni linkovi neće ažurirati svojom uobičajenom brzinom. Ako napravite članak koji je negdje drugdje povezan, link ka tom članku ostat će crven duže nego što je to uobičajeno. Skripte koje dugo traju morat će se zaustaviti.
• Kȏd za sedmicu koja počinje 18. aprilom bit će zamrznut. Neće se implementirati kȏd koji nije izričito važan za rad softvera.

Prvobitno je planirano da se test izvrši 22. marta. Novi datumi su 19. i 21. april. Možete pročitati raspored na stranici wikitech.wikimedia.org. Na tom će se rasporedu objaviti bilo kakve promjene. Bit će još obavještenja o ovome. Molimo Vas da ove informacije podijelite sa zajednicom. /Johan (WMF) (razgovor) 21:16, 17 april 2016 (KSV)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

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

1. Demicx (bureaucrat, administrator)

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

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Rschen7754 00:55, 22 juli 2016 (KSV)

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Sačuvaj stranicu” button to “Objavi stranicu” and “Objavi izmjene”. “Objavi stranicu” will be used when you create a new page. “Objavi izmjene” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Objavi stranicu” and “Objavi izmjene”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Sačuvaj stranicu” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Sačuvaj stranicu” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Objavi stranicu” and “Objavi izmjene”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

RevisionSlider

From September 13th on, RevisionSlider will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page, so that you can easily move between revisions. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (razgovor) / MediaWiki message delivery (razgovor) 23:59, 13 novembar 2016 (KSV)

Adding to the above section (Password reset)

Please accept my apologies - that first line should read "Help with translations!". Joe Sutherland (WMF) (talk) / MediaWiki message delivery (razgovor) 00:11, 14 novembar 2016 (KSV)

New way to edit wikitext

Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.

We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.

Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.

All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatski uključi većinu beta mogućnosti".

The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.

This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.
