Архіў1, 2, 3 Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct[правіць]
Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test 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.
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 1 March 2023.
- 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.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee[правіць]
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,

Для Катэхізіс (Будны) ды іншых твораў ці рукапісаў таго часу можа спатрэбіцца падтрымка адмысловых шрыфтоў. Ці ёсць у беларускіх Вікікрыніцах нешта падобнае на https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Sandbox/Test_font_Ponomar ? Ssvb (размовы) 08:54, 7 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)
- Мы ў такіх выпадках рабілі без канкэтнага шаблёна. Напрыклад, Лексіс Зізанія, Ойча наш у перакладзе Цяпінскага або вокладка Гісторыі беларускай (крыўскай) кнігі. Можна дадаць шаблён з расейскіх Вікікрыніцаў. Але я ня ведаю дзеля чаго там варта ўказваць моўны код (ці мова тэксту стараславянская, царкоўнаславянская або ўсходнеславянская) і як там рэгулююцца шрыфты (сярод выкарыстаных шаблёнам указана аж 4). Дарэчы, у згаданых тэкстах указаны шрыфт Федаровіча (Fedorovsk), магчыма, варта паставіць нейкі іншы, я, на жаль, у гэтым пакуль слаба разьбіраюся. Добра, што Вы паднялі пытаньне старых тэкстаў, бо праблему афармлення іх варта разьвязаць да таго, як яны пачнуць у нас масава зьяўляцца. Gleb Leo (размовы) 10:47, 7 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)

«зьяць»[правіць]
Часта сутыкаюся ў старых выданнях на глагол «зьяць», які відавочна з’яўляецца эквівалентам дзеяслова «зьзяць». Пазначаю заўсёды гэтыя месцы шаблонам {{абмылка}}, але частотнасць гэтых форм мяне прымушае ўжо сумнявацца. У слоўніках не знаходжу такі дзеяслоў, корпус пакуль не дасяжны. Можа ў каго ёсць думкі, ці варта і надалей пазначаць гэта як памылку друку? Plaga med (размовы) 19:53, 23 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)
- Гэта, можна сказаць, нашаніўская традыцыя так пісаць. Дарма Вы гэта выпраўлялі, гэта норма, як і непасьлядоўнае оканьне ў запазычаньнях. Gleb Leo (размовы) 20:10, 23 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)
- Варта таксама разумець, што корпус, якога ўжо няма, быў заснаваны на тэкстах пераважна другой паловы XX стагодзьдзя, а слоўнікі могуць і ня ўсё фіксаваць (не гаворачы пра розьніцу ў правапісах). Gleb Leo (размовы) 20:12, 23 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?[правіць]
Read this in your language • Калі ласка, дапамажыце перакласці на Вашу мову • Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
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.
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[правіць]
[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[правіць]
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) (размовы) 04:17, 26 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)
Апостраф[правіць]
Як адзначыў Ssvb знак ‘ (U+2018) фармальна не зьяўляецца апострафам (гэта частка двукосься), што можа абцяжарваць. З гэтай прычыны ён прапанаваў ахвяраваць эстэтычным бокам, (большай візуальнай падобнасьцю да арыгіналу) дзеля больш камфортнага выкарыстаньня тэкстаў. Добра было б пашукаць, што ў падобных сытуацыях робяць у іншых разьдзелах. Ва ўкраінскім, мне, на жаль, не ўдалося адшукаць сканаў з ‘. Gleb Leo (размовы) 12:44, 27 кастрычніка 2023 (+03)
- Знайшоў адносна нядаўні прыклад ужываньня ‘ як апострафа ў польскім разьдзеле. Цікава, што ва ўкраінскіх выданьнях міжваеннага пэрыяду выключна сучасны стандартны апостраф (’), у адрозьненьне ад нашых.
Маленьке привітання з прийдешнім Новим роком[правіць]
Як адміністратора українською розділу вітаю Вас з кінцем Вашого року! Ви досягли понад 200 тисяч переглядів на місяць та високим темпом вичитуєте зацифровані праці (Ви навіть перевершили наш розділ за статистикою). Ви створюєте свою скарбницю білоруського слова.

Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!

As we gear up for our upcoming Wikisource Community meeting, we are excited to share some additional information with you.
The meetings will now be held on the last Saturday of each month.

The meeting will take place at 3 pm UTC this month, and next month it will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation of different time zones.
As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities, similar to our previous Community meetings.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection[правіць]
Dear 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)

[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.

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin[правіць]

Hi everyone. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. This issue is now resolved.
We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on March 25th.
To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please see our documentation. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the Wikisource Community meetings to talk to you directly. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (размовы) 23:50, 18 сакавіка 2024 (+03)
