Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences
ફેરફાર કરોNote: 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?
ફેરફાર કરોApologies 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
ફેરફાર કરોDear 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)

[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.

વિકિમીડિયા ફાઉન્ડેશન તેના પ્રાથમિક અને સહાયક ડેટા સેન્ટરની અદલાબદલીનું પરિક્ષણ કરવા જઈ રહ્યું છે. આમ કરવાથી એ વાતની ખાતરી થશે કે આપત્તિના સમયે પણ વિકિપીડિયા અને અન્ય વિકિમીડિયા જાળસ્થળો (સાઇટો) ઉપલબ્ધ હોય.

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin
ફેરફાર કરોRead this in your language • Please help translate to your language • Please tell other users about these changes
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) (ચર્ચા) ૦૨:૨૦, ૧૯ માર્ચ ૨૦૨૪ (IST)

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:

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.

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.

દુર્ભાગ્યવશ, MediaWikiની અમુક મર્યાદાઓને કારણે આ પરિક્ષણના સમય દરમ્યાન બધું જ સંપાદન કાર્ય અટકાવવું પડે તેમ છે. ખલેલ બદલ અમે દિલગીર છીએ અને ભવિષ્યમાં આવી ખલેલ ઓછામાં ઓછી પડે તે દિશામાં અમે કાર્યરત છીએ.
પરિક્ષણ શરુ થવાની ૩૦ મિનિટ પહેલાથી બધાં જ વિકિ સંસ્કરણોમાં બેનર મૂકવામાં આવશે. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
ટૂંકા સમયગાળા માટે તમે બધાં જ વિકિપીડિયા સંસ્કરણો ફક્ત વાંચી શકશો, તેમાં ફેરફાર નહિ કરી શકો.
- બુધવાર ૨૫ સપ્ટેમ્બર ૨૦૨૪ ના રોજ, તમે લગભગ એક કલાક કે તેથી વધુ સમય સુધી વિકિપીડિયામાં કોઈ ફેરફાર કરી શકશો નહીં.
- જો આ સમયગાળામાં તમે કોઈ સંપાદન કરવાનો અને તે ફેરફારો સાચવવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરશો તો તમને ત્રુટિ સંદેશો મળશે. અમે આશા રાખીએ છીએ કે આ પરિક્ષણ દરમ્યાન કોઈ પણ સંપાદન ખોવાશે નહિ પરંતુ એ વાતની બાંહેધરી આપી શકાય એમ નથી. જો તમને ત્રુટિ સંદેશો મળે તો બધું જ પૂર્વવત થાય ત્યાં સુધી રાહ જોશો. પછી તમે કરેલા ફેરફારો સાચવી શકાશે. પણ અમારું સુચન છે કે તમે આવા કોઈ પણ ફેરફારોને કોપી કરી ને રાખી લો જેથી કાંઈ અનિચ્છનિય બને તો તમારી મહેનત બાતલ ન જાય.
અન્ય અસરો:
- પૃષ્ઠભૂમિમાં ચાલતાં કામો ધીમાં પડશે કે પછી અટકી જશે. લાલ (મૃત) કડીઓ સામન્ય ઝડપથી અપડેટ ન પણ થાય. તમે એવો કોઈ નવો લેખ બનાવો જે અન્યત્ર જોડાતો હોય તો પહેલાનાં તે પાના પર આ લેખની કડી થોડા વધુ સમય માટે હજુ લાલ જ બતાવે તેમ બને. અમુક લાંબા સમયથી ચાલતી સ્ક્રિપ્ટ અટકાવવી પડશે.
- 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.
જરુર પડે તો આ પરિક્ષણ પાછું પણ ઠેલવામાં આવે. wikitech.wikimedia.org પર જઈ ને તમે સમયપત્રક જોઈ શકો છો. જો કોઈ પણ ફેરફાર હશે તો સમયપત્રકમાં જાણ કરવામાં આવશે.
આ માહિતીને તમારા સમુદાય સાથે વહેંચવા વિનંતી છે.Scholarship Application Deadline Extended for Wikisource Conference 2025!

ફેરફાર કરોHello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) ૧૬:૫૯, ૨૨ ઓક્ટોબર ૨૦૨૪ (IST)
