Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences
modificareNote: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.
Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.
The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.
For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
modificareApologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
- The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
- Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
- Compensation is available.
- Sessions will be held in January and February.
- Sign up here if you are interested.
- Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection
modificareDear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
- May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
- June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
- June-August 2024: Campaign period
- End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
- October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
- Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)
[2] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Committee:Elections_Committee_Charter
[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee
[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles
[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.
Your wiki will be in read-only soon

Fundația Wikimedia testează comuntarea între centrele sale de date primar și secundar. Acest lucru va asigura că Wikipedia și alte wiki-uri ale Wikimediei pot rămâne online chiar și după un dezastru.
Ele vor comuta tot traficul înapoi, 20 martie. Testul va începe la 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST).
Din păcate, din cauza unor limitări din MediaWiki, toate editările trebuie să se oprească în timp ce comutarea este efectuată. Ne cerem scuze pentru această perturbare și ne străduim să o reducem la minimum în viitor.
Veți putea citi, dar nu edita, toate wiki-urile pentru o perioadă scurtă de timp.
- Nu veți putea edita până la o oră miercuri 20 martie 2024.
- Dacă încercați să editați sau să salvați în aceste perioade, veți vedea un mesaj de eroare. Sperăm că nu se vor pierde modificări în aceste minute, dar nu putem garanta acest lucru. Dacă vedeți mesajul de eroare, vă rugăm să așteptați până când totul revine la normal. Apoi ar trebui să puteți salva editarea. Dar, vă recomandăm să faceți mai întâi o copie a modificărilor dvs., pentru orice eventualitate.
„Alte efecte”:
- Lucrările de fundal vor fi mai lente și unele pot fi abandonate. Este posibil ca linkurile roșii să nu fie actualizate la fel de repede ca în mod normal. Dacă creați un articol care este deja legat în altă parte, linkul va rămâne roșu mai mult decât de obicei. Unele scripturi de lungă durată vor trebui oprite.
- Ne așteptăm ca implementările de cod să se întâmple ca în orice altă săptămână. Cu toate acestea, unele blocări de la caz la caz se pot întâmpla în mod punctual dacă operația le cere ulterior.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.
With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
modificare
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.

modificareHello everyone,
The next language community meeting is coming up next week, on November 29th, at 16:00 UTC (Zonestamp! For your timezone <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1732896000>). If you're interested in joining, you can sign up on this wiki page: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Language_and_Product_Localization/Community_meetings#29_November_2024>.
This participant-driven meeting will be organized by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Language Product Localization team and the Language Diversity Hub. There will be presentations on topics like developing language keyboards, the creation of the Moore Wikipedia, and the language support track at Wiki Indaba. We will also have members from the Wayuunaiki community joining us to share their experiences with the Incubator and as a new community within our movement. This meeting will have a Spanish interpretation.
Looking forward to seeing you at the language community meeting! Cheers, Srishti 21 noiembrie 2024 19:53 (UTC)
English Wikinews will upgrade its license to CC-BY-4.0 - will you join us? / Wikinews în engleză își va actualiza licența la CC-BY-4.0 - vă veți alătura nouă?
modificareEnglish Wikinews has finally completed the discussions about a license upgrade and will upgrade to CC-BY-4.0, effective for all edits made from December 16, 2024. You can read about it at en:Wikinews:2024 Copyright license upgrade.
All Wikinews projects manage their processes internally and independently of English Wikinews, but on English Wikinews, we hope that you will also change your license so we can continue to share articles across the different versions of Wikinews.
Arabic Wikinews already upgraded in August 2024, but they chose CC-BY-SA-4.0 (ShareAlike). We know that other Wikinews projects would also like to change.
To complete the change, each Wikinews project needs to file a request on Phabricator. We made one for English Wikinews at Phab:T381421.
If your wiki have already decided to change the license you can also make a request or we can try to add your wiki to the request so the changes can take place at the same time.
If your wiki have not yet decided it is still possible to change the license. But your wiki needs to have a discussion about it.
To coordinate the license change, we need to know if your wiki has already decided or has an existing vote, so please either leave a message here with a link to the vote/result (and ping me please) or add it directly at en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Results_all_Wikinews_projects. Even if the result is that you will not upgrade, we would really appreciate knowing.

Wikinews în engleză a finalizat în sfârșit discuțiile despre o actualizare a licenței și va actualiza la CC-BY-4.0, efectiv pentru toate modificările făcute începând cu 16 decembrie 2024. Puteți citi mai multe despre asta la en:Wikinews:2024 Copyright license upgrade.
Toate proiectele Wikinews își gestionează procesele intern și independent de Wikinews în engleză, dar la Wikinews în engleză, sperăm că veți schimba și voi licența pentru a putea continua să împărtășim articole între diferitele versiuni ale Wikinews.
Wikinews în arabă a actualizat deja în august 2024, dar au ales CC-BY-SA-4.0 (ShareAlike). Știm că și alte proiecte Wikinews ar dori să schimbe.
Pentru a finaliza schimbarea, fiecare proiect Wikinews trebuie să depună o cerere pe Phabricator. Am făcut una pentru Wikinews în engleză la Phab:T381421.
Dacă wiki-ul vostru a decis deja să schimbe licența, puteți face și voi o cerere sau putem încerca să adăugăm wiki-ul vostru la cerere pentru ca schimbările să poată avea loc în același timp.
Dacă wiki-ul vostru nu a decis încă, este încă posibil să schimbați licența. Dar wiki-ul vostru trebuie să aibă o discuție despre asta.
Pentru a coordona schimbarea licenței, trebuie să știm dacă wiki-ul vostru a decis deja sau are un vot existent, așa că vă rugăm să lăsați un mesaj aici cu un link către vot/rezultat (și vă rog să mă pinguiți) sau să-l adăugați direct la en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Results_all_Wikinews_projects. Chiar dacă rezultatul este că nu veți actualiza, am aprecia foarte mult să știm. --MGA73 (discuție) 4 decembrie 2024 20:29 (UTC)
Vot despre schimbarea licenței la CC-BY-4.0
modificare[See English version at en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Draft_to_a_vote in case the text does not look right - it is translated with a tool]
Așa cum s-a scris anterior, Wikinews în engleză și alte câteva Wikinews și-au schimbat acum licența. Wiki-ul dvs. nu a răspuns, așa că încep aici un vot sugerând să actualizați și dvs. licența la CC-BY-4.0. Vă rugăm să consultați și m:Requests for comment/Update standard license for Wikinews unde sugerez schimbarea licenței implicite pentru Wikinews pentru a asigura că toate Wikinews au aceeași licență (CC-BY-4.0) cu excepția cazului în care aleg activ o altă licență.
Votul se va încheia pe 20 ianuarie 2025, cu data schimbării stabilită pentru 1 februarie 2025. Toți utilizatorii cu mai mult de 100 de editări bune pot vota (paginile de discuții sunt excluse).
Lipsa opoziției sau absența comentariilor în timpul perioadei de vot nu este considerată automat ca suport. Mai degrabă, reflectă faptul că participanții au avut ocazia să-și exprime opiniile. Dacă nu sunt ridicate obiecții, sondajul va fi considerat o acțiune de 'continuare', presupunând că nu a fost exprimată nicio opoziție (conform m:Requesting wiki configuration changes).
Apreciez orice ajutor pentru a asigura că acest vot este anunțat în locurile corecte și că textul este tradus cu acuratețe. Dacă există erori, vă rugăm să ajutați la corectarea lor. Dacă politica locală are reguli diferite de cele pe care le sugerez, vă rugăm să le corectați cât mai curând posibil.
Câteva informații despre licențe
- Versiunea 4.0 este mai internațională, mai compatibilă cu alte licențe și mai ușor de citit în comparație cu versiunea 2.5.
- Este posibil să copiați text licențiat 2.5 la 4.0, dar nu și invers.
- Este posibil să copiați text licențiat BY la BY-SA, dar nu și invers.
- Nu mai este posibil să traduceți articole din Wikinews în engleză decât dacă actualizați la 4.0.
Opțiunea 1: Schimbare la CC-BY-4.0 (CC BY 4.0) [Implicit, cu excepția cazului în care una dintre celelalte două are mai mult suport]
modificareOpțiunea 2: Schimbare la CC-BY-SA-4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0)
modificareOpțiunea 3: Rămâneți cu CC-BY-2.5

- Hello. Here is a small community where I think it is possible to switch to the version adopted by the English Wikinews. It's easier for Romanian Wikinews.--MSClaudiu (discuție) 19 decembrie 2024 22:08 (UTC)
- Thank you. Good to know. I think the best is to make the change in one edit (on February 1). --MGA73 (discuție) 19 decembrie 2024 22:22 (UTC)
