Arhive Bine ați venit! Vă rugăm să rețineți faptul că la Cafenea se discută numai subiecte legate de Wikiștiri în limba română. Altfel de mesaje vor fi șterse. Dacă doriți să lăsați un comentariu, vă rugăm să o faceți folosind un ton civilizat. La final, vă rugăm să vă semnați folosind patru tilde (~~~~). Vă mulțumim. en: Requests for the bot flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the standard bot policy, and allows global bots and automatic approval of certain types of bots.

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?

English 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

[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.

Discuție

Aștept cu nerăbdare să văd răspunsul dvs. --MGA73 (discuție) 19 decembrie 2024 11:18 (UTC)

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)

Thank you for the help. Ok when possible.--MSClaudiu (discuție) 19 decembrie 2024 22:27 (UTC)

Update: @MSClaudiu. Added to Phab:T382649. Estimated date of change is December 30. Local admins may need to fix local pages manually. And Merry Christmas. --MGA73 (discuție) 25 decembrie 2024 11:47 (UTC)

@MGA73 Ok. Is there a list of pages that need to be modified? Merry Christmas!--MSClaudiu (discuție) 26 decembrie 2024 15:32 (UTC)

I found something about that.--MSClaudiu (discuție) 26 decembrie 2024 15:41 (UTC)

@MSClaudiu Great. I listed 3 possible pages at en:Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews#Results_all_Wikinews_projects. But there may be other if you search for "2.5". --MGA73 (discuție) 26 decembrie 2024 17:49 (UTC)

I was just told that next update window is January 2. But you can change local pages before if you want. --MGA73 (discuție) 26 decembrie 2024 18:58 (UTC)

Ok.--MSClaudiu (discuție) 29 decembrie 2024 14:28 (UTC)

Change is now (finally) done. Remember to change local pages if needed. --MGA73 (discuție) 6 ianuarie 2025 13:10 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you all! I will try to change the other pages.--MSClaudiu (discuție) 7 ianuarie 2025 17:12 (UTC)

Wiki-ul tău va fi în curând doar pentru citire.

Citiți acest mesaj în altă limbă • Please help translate to your language

Fundaţia Wikimedia vai testa intre centrele sale de date primar şi secundar. Acest lucru va asigura că Wikipedia și alte wiki-uri ale Wikimediei pot rămâne online chiar și după un dezastru.

Traficul va comuta la 19 martie. Testul va începe la 14:00 UTC (15:00 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.

Un banner va fi afișat pe toate wiki-urile cu 30 de minute înainte ca această operațiune să aibă loc. Acest banner va rămâne vizibil până la sfârșitul operațiunii.

Veți putea citi, dar nu edita, toate wiki-urile pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp.

• Nu veți putea edita până la o oră miercuri 19 martie 2025.
• 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 înghețări de cod în fiecare caz ar putea să se întâmple punctual dacă operațiunea le va necesita ulterior.
• Serviciul GitLab nu va fii disponibil pentru vreo 90 de minute.

Acest proiect poate fi amânat dacă este necesar. Puteți citiți programul la wikitech.wikimedia.org. Orice modificare va fi anunțată în program.

Vă rugăm să partajați aceste informații comunității dvs.

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!

(Apologies for posting in English)

Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.

As you probably know, the old Graph extension was disabled in 2023 due to security reasons. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the Charts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the EasyTimeline extension.

After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.

The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from May 6. Please, consult our page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also consult the documentation about the extension on MediaWiki.org.

If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the talk page or at Phabricator.

Thank you in advance! -- User:Sannita (WMF) (talk) 6 mai 2025 15:08 (UTC)

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)

(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (discuție) 22 mai 2025 15:26 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions

Mai multe limbi • Please help translate to your language

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) 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 Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 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 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
• June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
• July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
• August 2025: Campaign period
• August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
• October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
• Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [link].

Call for Questions

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [link]

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2025 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 [link].
