Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.

Overview #2 of updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

As we mentioned last month, the Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Each month, we are sending overviews of these updates to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a overview of the updates that have been sent since our message last month:

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

  • April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
  • April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
  • April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
  • May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
  • May 15–19 – Board vote checking
  • May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

  • Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
    • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
  • Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
    • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections(at)wikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

Wikivoyage at the Wikimania 2017

Dear Wikivoyage community members. The Wikimania 2017 conference will take place in August 2017. I am going to take part and I hope to meet some other community members. To prepare for the conference properly I would like to know more about all your wishes, problems and ideas related to Wikivoyage. I have created a small site on the meta-wiki where you can drop all your thoughts, wishes and concerns. Feel free to create sub sites if needed. It would be great to have a meeting at the conference venue or anywhere in town. -- DerFussi (talk) -- MediaWiki message delivery (diskussion) 23 april 2017 kl. 22.04 (CEST)[svara]

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata

Hello all,

(Sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate it if necessary.)

The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikivoyages. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.

You may know that Wikidata provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.

This feature will be deployed on May 9th on all the Wikivoyages. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors. This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.

If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment on the Phabricator ticket.

Thanks go to Matěj Suchánek who suggested and developed this feature! Cheers, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

Kartändringar

Hej! Jag heter Paul Norman och arbetar tillfälligt för Wikimedia Foundations kartteam med att förbättra kartstilar, infrastruktur och andra kartrelaterade uppgifter. Min bakgrund är som OpenStreetMap-utvecklare, och jag är en av personerna som sköter om OpenStreetMaps Carto-stil, som är standard på osm.org, liksom många andra komponenter i hur OSM-kartvisningen fungerar.

Som del av https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153282 håller en ny stil för Wikimediakartor på att utvecklars, och jag har laddad hela planeten på en server för att kunna fungera som test- och demomiljö.

Demon är tillgänglig på http://legolas.paulnorman.ca:6789/ och genom "Compare" på höger sida i gränssnittet kan du jämföra den med hur kartor ser ut nu på Wikimediawikierna, OpenStreetMaps Carto, och ett helt gäng andra. Några saker som kan vara bra att vara medveten om när man jämför är:

  • Kartan visas med Kosmtik, ett designverktyg som använder minimalt med cacheminne, och den kan startas om medan jag arbetar med det.
  • Fastän servern är snabbare än de servrar som används när du vanligtvis besöker Wikimediawikierna kan den verka långsammare eftersom kartorna inte finns cachade.
  • OSM-datan på servern är normalt inom en dags eftersläpning från den senaste datan.

Några av de mer uppenbara stilförändringarna är:

  • Vägfärger är annorlunda, för att få en överblick över städer.
  • Det finns färre fall där det finns små, subtila skillnader mellan olika nyanser av grönt.

Broar och vägbyggen på flera nivåer hanteras nu ordentligt, vilket borde göra vissa områden enklare att lista ut hur de ser ut.

Jag är särskilt intresserad av feedback om:

Feedback är välkommet, antingen här, på Phabricator, eller på IRC i #wikimedia-interactive på freenode.

The solution for reverting the new annoying hidden Table of Contents in all your banners

As you all probably noticed, last week all the banners on SVvoy were changed - in all of them the Table of Contents is now hidden by default in a very unaesthetic appearance.

The same change occurred in all the Wikivoyage editions that don't have the new banner code (namely, the Dutch Wikivoyage, the Hebrew Wikivoyage, the Swedish Wikivoyage, and the Farsi Wikivoyage).

I never managed to figure out what caused this annoying bug... nevertheless, the Dutch Wikivoyage has meanwhile found the solution to this bug, and yesterday both the Hebrew Wikivoyage and Farsi Wikivoyage implemented it on the all our banners, and the problem was reverted as if it never existed!

Add this code to your Mediawiki:Common.css and you should be good

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

PDFer

Hej, kort uppdatering, eftersom Wikivoyage är mer PDF-beroende än de flesta andra Wikimediaprojekt: På grund av tekniska problem kommer vi att byta sätt vi genererar PDFer (från OCG till Electron). Det sker tidigare än vi hade önskat, så bokfunktionen kommer tyvärr att vara underutvecklad in i november eller december. Våra ursäkter. Man kan läsa mer om mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/PDF Functionality. /Johan (WMF) (diskussion) 14 september 2017 kl. 02.24 (CEST)[svara]

Bah. Nä. Där hade vi fel. Bokfunktionen kommer inte att fungera under ett par månader. Vi ber så hemskt mycket om ursäkt. Ni kan läsa mer genom att följa länken ovan. /Johan (WMF) (diskussion) 19 september 2017 kl. 23.55 (CEST)[svara]

Reseguide till #DivCon17

Wikimedia Conference Guide 2017

I höst, helgen 3-5 november, arrangerar Wikimedia Sverige Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2017 i Stockholm. Då deltagarna kommer att komma från runt 40 länder behövs en reseguide så att besökarna hittar rätt och vet hur bussar går och vilka kontakter som fungerar. Finns det någon hjälte i gemenskapen här som kan tänka sig att ta fram en DivCon och Stockholmsanpassad version av den (något överambitiösa) version som användes vid Wikimedia Conference i Berlin i våras? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (diskussion) 20 september 2017 kl. 17.03 (CEST)[svara]

Att implementera listposter och geodata på svenska Wikivoyage

Hej,

Jag skriver mycket på engelska Wikivoyage men skulle såklart även vilja börja skriva en del på svenska också. Tyvärr finns inte riktigt infrastrukturen att arbeta här, exempelvis fungerar inte {{listing}} här. Om det ska bli attraktivt att redigera här måste grunderna fungera. Jag undrar vad som skulle behövas för att få {{listing}} att fungera? Är det ett stort arbete eller något vi kan hjälpas åt med att lösa snabbt? --Jonte-- (diskussion) 3 november 2017 kl. 19.38 (CET)[svara]

@Jonte--: det ska inte vara så mycket arbete för att skapa en svensk version av {{listing}}, jag ska se på det till helgen. Är det någon annan infrastruktur du vill jag ser på samtidigt? Abbe98 (diskussion) 9 november 2017 kl. 22.19 (CET)[svara]
@Abbe98:. Det låter ju fantastiskt. Tror på kort sikt det är det viktigaste med tanke på att så mycket av Wikivoyage bygger just på att kunna skapa listor med rekommendationer och lägga in dem på en karta. Märker att det har stannat av rätt mycket här på den svenska delen. Men för att få igång skrivande så måste grunderna fixas. Tack på förhand! --Jonte-- (diskussion) 13 november 2017 kl. 14.46 (CET)[svara]
